Su Hua Fairy's Little Blue Flower Language was a world-renowned, textbook-level musical score, yet he had just disparaged it as utterly worthless!
What was even more infuriating was that this outrageously bold, foolhardy fellow had actually set a condition: for Su Hua to serve as his maiden attendant and wait on him for a few days?
Who was Su Hua?
She was a fairy renowned throughout the world, an envoy bestowed by the Immortal Court. Even the senior elders of the world's great sects had to pay their respects to her. Under the heavens, no one would, nor dared to, show disrespect to the fairy, let alone utter such audacious words.
A single stone stirred up a thousand waves!
His words were shocking enough to shake the heavens!
"How dare you!"
As Gu Qingfeng's words fell, an angry roar immediately followed. Qian Shan, standing three meters tall, took a step forward, glaring furiously at Gu Qingfeng. Her roar was truly formidable—like thunder, like the roar of lions and tigers—shaking the eardrums of everyone in the Spirit Seclusion Garden, making them dizzy and their vision blur.
"Gu Qingfeng!
I think you're looking for death!"
Immediately after, Young Helm Master Xu Jintong of the Dianyun Branch and the three young masters of the Hua Pavilion, including Chang Tianrui, also stepped forward angrily.
"Gu Qingfeng, you scoundrel! You rogue!
You are utterly shameless!"
Ouyang Ye and the Spirit Bird also flushed red with anger as they berated him. Following them, the hundreds of people present surrounded him. Their posture, the situation, seemed as if they wanted to tear this blasphemer of their goddess limb from limb to vent the hatred in their hearts. In the heat of the moment, Su Hua was the first to rush forward, shouting to stop the crowd.
"Fairy, this person treats you with such disrespect, not only showing no reverence but even using words to blaspheme. He must be taught a lesson!"
"Fairy, this person disparaged your Little Blue Flower Language as worthless. We must make this arrogant, ignorant fool remember this!"
"Fairy, this person dares to ask you to be his maiden attendant. He must be severely punished! Severely punished!"
The crowd was filled with righteous indignation, seething with rage. They surrounded Gu Qingfeng layer upon layer, leaving no room for escape. Clearly, if Su Hua Fairy gave the word, these people would not hesitate to attack.
However, Su Hua Fairy said nothing. Her peerlessly beautiful face was clouded with uncertainty, and the kindness in her beautiful eyes was gone, replaced by blazing anger.
Indeed.
Su Hua's heart was now filled with fury.
Since reincarnating into this world, she had never been this angry.
Nor had she ever suffered such great humiliation.
And she had certainly never encountered such an arrogant, conceited, and utterly overbearing fellow!
Having her painstakingly crafted Little Blue Flower Language disparaged as worthless was one thing, but for this detestable fellow to ask her to serve as his maiden attendant...
It was simply unforgivable!
Opposite them.
Gu Qingfeng still sat leisurely in the Master's Recliner, legs crossed, eating Red Leaf Monster Fruit and drinking Little Tipple. Despite being tightly surrounded by so many people, he showed not the slightest fear. Not only was he unafraid, he wasn't even a bit nervous, as if the one surrounded wasn't him, but someone else.
Behind him, Fei Kui stood with his head bowed, holding a wine pot. Whenever Gu Qingfeng finished a cup, he immediately stepped forward to refill it.
Beside them, Huode squatted on the ground, puffing on his large tobacco pipe with his head down. He glanced at Su Hua, then at Gu Qingfeng, sending a secret voice transmission: "I say, Gu kid, has your old habit flared up again? Didn't you say at the start you weren't going to tease her?"
"When did I tease her?"
"Don't think this old man doesn't know. You're teasing her right now, Gu kid. She's such a good girl. Can't you just not do this?"
"A good girl?"
A faint smile touched the corner of Gu Qingfeng's mouth as he transmitted back: "Whether this woman is a good girl or not, I don't know and don't care to know. While I may be bored and enjoy teasing a girl now and then, I'm not so idle and bored that I'd deliberately tease such a complicated woman."
"Why are you picking a fight with a young girl?"
"Picking a fight? Do you really think this little woman is some harmless character? She knows far more than you do. She might have heard something too. You can tell from her eyes—this woman wants to probe my background. If I don't teach her a lesson today, she'll come pestering me every other day in the future."
"Let her probe if she wants. Didn't you say yourself that as long as you don't talk, no one can probe your background?"
"Do you think my background is just being the Immortal Dao criminal, Lord Chixiao? That identity, I've never cared about, nor do I mind if people know. What's more, this little woman's background is probably more complicated than I imagined. I've never liked dealing with her type. However, if she insists on coming to my door, then I won't mind giving her a proper lesson."
"Sigh! Su Hua is a good girl..."
"I say, Huode, I never noticed you had this flaw before. Have you taken a fancy to this woman?"
"Fancy my foot! Can you stop talking nonsense?"
"If you haven't taken a fancy to her, why do you keep calling her a good girl?"
Gu Qingfeng chuckled in the transmission: "Go on, tell me. If you really fancy her, I'll get her for you, make her your Dao companion. How about that? Never mind if she agrees or not. If you like her, that's enough. I'll handle the rest."
"Go to hell!"
Gu Qingfeng's words made Huode's old face flush red. He took a puff from his tobacco pipe before saying, "Fairy Su Hua once did me a great favor. A few years back, when she was living in the Great Northwest, she saved this old man's life. For my sake, can't you not make things difficult for the girl?"
"There's such a thing? Really?"
"Why would I lie? If it weren't for Fairy Su Hua a few years ago, not only would this old man's life have been in danger, but our Yunxia Sect would have been wiped out long ago. So, Gu kid, don't make things difficult for the girl. Consider it doing me a favor."
"Huode, for your sake, I could choose not to make things difficult for this woman. But the key point is, right now, it's not me making things difficult for her, but her making things difficult for me."
Gu Qingfeng paid no more attention to Huode. He glanced at the three-meter-tall Qian Shan, but it was just a glance. Then he looked at Su Hua and smiled. "So? Big sister, are you interested? You might want to consider it. I'm in no hurry; I can wait slowly. Tell me once you've made up your mind."
"You!"
Su Hua gritted her teeth in anger, glaring at Gu Qingfeng, wishing she could rush forward and teach this arrogant fellow a harsh lesson. However, she did not do so. Despite the fury in her heart, what she felt more was curiosity. Because she truly couldn't figure out whether this fellow before her genuinely possessed such capability or was just putting on a bluff, deliberately toying with her.
She took a deep breath, once again suppressing the fury in her heart, and said coldly, "Fine! Young Lord Chiyan, I! Agree! To your terms! However, let me make this clear beforehand: if you cannot point out the shortcomings within the Little Blue Flower Language, I will absolutely not forgive you for your disrespect toward me."
