Chapter 1159: A Clever Plan

As he marveled at the scene.

Luo Pengfei behind him was already grinding his teeth!

You sly old fox!

You actually went as far as to give away the Snow Lake Cottage, a coveted cultivation sanctuary on the island, even more precious than the treasure vase I offered!

Want to compete in wealth, huh?

Old man, just you wait!

The group, each with their own thoughts, quietly observed the immortal mansion, the atmosphere quite delicate.

Behind them.

Bao Congxin, standing at the door, was utterly stunned!

In his mind, terrifying rumors he had once heard kept resurfacing...

In the southern city, there is a Snow Lake.

The spiritual energy by the lake is incredibly abundant, making it the best cultivation spot on the entire Sunshine Island, with opportunities to sense the power of the Dao. Apart from a few major sects having established some immortal mansions there, few others have the privilege to visit!

Now standing before the immortal mansion's door, the identity of the old man inside was unmistakable.

He!

He really is Sect Leader Xu Baichuan!

And the one beside him must be Sect Leader Luo Pengfei?!

Confirming the truth, Bao Congxin was so frightened that his heart skipped a beat!

Recalling earlier.

The two sect leaders had even addressed him as "Brother Bao"?

What's worse, he had even responded with "Brother Luo"!

Whoosh!

Bao Congxin's face turned pale with fear, his legs went weak, and he ended up sitting on the ground!

"Thud!"

The dull sound startled Luo Pengfei, who turned around.

Out of a desire to curry favor, he asked with concern, "Brother Bao, what's wrong with you?"

This question made Bao Congxin's heart leap to his throat!

Gasp!

The exclamation caught the attention of Yi Feng and Xu Baichuan, who turned to look.

Only then did they see.

Bao Congxin sprawled at the door, his chubby face trembling!

"You, you, you are really the sect leaders!"

Seeing his cowardly demeanor, the two sect leaders felt a wave of helplessness, finding it hard to believe that such a person could have a close relationship with Mr. Yi, wondering what kind of extraordinary luck he must have.

Yi Feng, already accustomed to such situations, returned to the door to help Bao Congxin up.

"Ah, we told you earlier, why didn't you believe us? Both sect leaders are good people, there's no need to be so afraid."

Seeing Yi Feng's friendly gesture, the two sect leaders dared not be impolite to Bao Congxin.

They quickly approached with a shrewd smile.

"Exactly, we are all good people!"

"Indeed, Brother Bao, no need to be nervous."

With the two sect leaders in front of him, Bao Congxin stood up in a daze, his heart filled with immense fear. Upon hearing the words "good people," his worldview was completely overturned.

Even as the banquet was set up in the building.

After toasting and sitting for a long time, he still looked dazed, suspecting he was in a dream, secretly pinching himself several times, but feeling nothing.

The two sect leaders of Sunshine Island sitting with him, and both being kind-hearted.

Haha...

Drunk and smiling, Bao Congxin dozed off.

Yi Feng and the two sect leaders laughed and shook their heads, drinking late into the night, growing closer, composing poems and enjoying themselves, feeling the joy of meeting kindred spirits over wine.

...

The next noon.

Yi Feng lazily got up and wandered around the carved railings of the pavilion.

That drinking session yesterday...

It was truly a wild one.

Bao Congxin was knocked out after a few rounds, and the two sect leaders weren't much better.

By the end, they were stumbling, almost making a scene, probably swearing off alcohol for the near future.

Those two sect leaders were indeed warm and hospitable, showing a willingness to go all out for a friend. Meeting such kindred spirits in a foreign land was truly a delightful experience.

Sitting leisurely by the small table near the carved railings, a smile appeared on Yi Feng's face.

Just then.

A pig-slaughtering cry came from the corridor behind!

"Benefactor! Benefactor!"

Turning around, Bao Congxin was rushing over.

Disheveled as if just waking up, clutching a vase with a look of terror, no trace of drunkenness on his face, running up, still in disbelief.

"Ben, Benefactor!"

"Was everything from yesterday real? Did we really, really meet the two sect leaders?"

Yi Feng smiled helplessly.

"Of course."

Only then did Bao Congxin nod in a daze, still with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Yi Feng had finally seen clearly.

In the future, it's better not to ask this old man for information, otherwise it's likely to be rumors. It's best to ask others about matters on the island.

After staring blankly for a while.

Bao Congxin carefully placed the vase on the table, then tremblingly took out a few immortal crystals.

"Ben, Benefactor, I dare not accept this treasure vase, here's the money for yesterday's wine, the innkeeper didn't charge..."

Yi Feng took the immortal crystals, both surprised and embarrassed.

He had intended to treat them to wine, but ended up saving money because of their influence, what a situation.

Pocketing the immortal crystals, Yi Feng patiently explained.

"Brother Bao, seeing is believing, both sect leaders are good people, now you should believe, right?"

Bao Congxin nervously looked up, forcing a smile.

"I believe, I believe..."

As they conversed, hearty laughter came from downstairs.

"Mr. Yi, good morning."

"Did you rest well last night, sir?"

Hearing the voices, they looked down to see the two sect leaders had arrived downstairs, smiling and cupping their hands in greeting.

Then they strode upstairs.

In a few moments, they were upstairs and right in front of them.

Having come to visit early in the morning, Yi Feng quickly stood up to welcome them with a smile.

"Good morning, both of you, please take a seat."

Bao Congxin dared not address them as brothers, standing to the side feeling immense pressure, not trembling was already a big improvement.

Seeing the two sect leaders' humble smiles.

His mood gradually relaxed, daring to believe the reality before him.

As the three chatted.

His understanding was completely overturned, filled with excitement and honor, and a sense of awakening from a dream...

The three sat down, laughing heartily.

After a few warm greetings.

Xu Baichuan took out a can of tea, smiling.

"Mr. Yi, this tea has a hangover-relieving effect, I hope you can forgive any shortcomings in our hospitality yesterday."

Seeing the old fox present a thousand-year tea crystal.

Luo Pengfei also took out a box of pastries, quickly pushing it across the table with both hands!

"Mr. Yi, drinking tea on an empty stomach is bland, these pastries are fragrant and delicious, perfect for before tea!"

Before Yi Feng could respond.

Xu Baichuan took out a censer of incense, his smile reaching his eyes.

"Sir, this incense is also great for hangovers, with calming effects, suitable at any time, and more elegant than eating and drinking."

Their eyes met, neither willing to back down.

It seemed like they were about to argue.

To an outsider, it might look like a competition for a son-in-law's dowry.

Faced with such enthusiasm, Yi Feng couldn't refuse, so he accepted everything.

Seeing this, the two couldn't stop smiling, and soon they were chatting and laughing.

Amidst the laughter, Yi Feng looked out over the carved railings.

Overlooking the mansion's courtyard, the beautiful scenery was breathtaking.

Following the layout to the outskirts of the mansion, there were also lush willows.

Upon closer inspection, deep within the greenery, there seemed to be mist rising, a strange sight like the transition between winter and spring, which piqued Yi Feng's curiosity.

Looking closer.

In the depths of the mist, there was a shimmering lake.

Discovering the misty beauty by accident, Yi Feng grew even more curious and couldn't help but ask.

"Gentlemen, why is that lake so foggy?"

The two, who had been exchanging fiery glances, were startled by the question.

Surprised, they turned to look.

Following Yi Feng's gaze, they were even more astonished.

"Sir, can you see the Snow Lake?"

Yi Feng nodded in confusion.

"Yes, I can see the lake's shimmering surface, with melting ice and snow, the scenery is quite special, but it's a pity the mist blocks much of the view."

Hearing this, their hearts were shaken.

The Snow Lake was not within the mansion's grounds but far beyond, owned by the island's master.

To prevent unwanted visitors, the island master had set up a maze there, a technique so advanced that even they could rarely glimpse its true form.

Yet Mr. Yi could see through it at a glance?

Such cultivation was truly terrifying!

In his presence, no secret could remain hidden.

Shocked, they quickly explained.

"Sir, your insight is as sharp as a torch, we admire you!"

"This lake is called the Snow Lake, home to a type of fish known as the Dao-Transforming Sturgeon. Eating it could allow one to comprehend a new Dao. Unfortunately, these fish are extremely spiritual, usually sleeping at the bottom of the thousand-foot-deep lake, only awakening every hundred years on the day of the utmost yang, making them easy to catch!"

"To our shame, we have had no success for nearly a thousand years, perhaps because the Dao-Transforming Sturgeon has become wary of our auras."

"This is a closely guarded secret on the island, known to very few!"

Yi Feng nodded slightly.

"I see."

Who would have thought there were fish that sleep for a hundred years.

The world is indeed full of wonders.

Yi Feng had gained some new knowledge.

Seeing the two getting more excited, with a hint of regret in their eyes, Yi Feng felt a stirring in his heart.

After all, he was quite skilled at fishing.

If he could catch a few fish, it would be a way to repay their warm hospitality and also pass the time.

"How about we go fishing?"

At these words.

The two sect leaders were momentarily stunned.
