Chapter 795: Just for Fun

"Ancestors, what... what is this..."

Shi Qingwu's tongue was tied.

She was truly stunned.

What on earth was going on?

"Ancestors, what are you...?"

Shi Qingwu was terrified.

She asked, feeling both honored and overwhelmed.

"Ah, we were a bit abrupt."

Zeng Xian explained with a smile, "The reason we're here is because we have urgent matters and are waiting for your husband, Lord Yi Feng."

As he spoke, the two elders sat back down on their small stools.

Shi Qingwu was even more stunned.

"Her husband, Yi Feng... Lord Yi?"

Did she hear that correctly?

"Yes, we're all waiting for Lord Yi. Please, Sect Master Shi, have a seat." Deng Chao chimed in, offering his small stool to Shi Qingwu and even wiping it with his sleeve.

"Oh, no, no."

Shi Qingwu finally reacted, refusing in a panic, "Ancestor, please keep your seat."

Then, with trembling hands, she grabbed the Fourth and Fifth Elders beside her and asked in a shaky voice,

"What's going on?"

The Fourth and Fifth Elders chuckled.

"Sect Master, stop pretending, we already know!"

"Know what?"

Shi Qingwu asked blankly.

"Look at her, still acting." The Fourth Elder turned and pointed at Shi Qingwu, laughing with the other sect masters nearby.

Then he turned back to Shi Qingwu and spread his hands, "I admit your acting is good, Sect Master, but you can't fool us now!"

"We all know about Lord Yi's true power."

"Yeah, why did you hide it from us that your husband is so powerful?" Another sect master added, "You two have been hiding it so well."

"That's right. If it weren't for Lord Yi effortlessly bypassing the Tianba Sect's Holy Mountain Palace formation and casually capturing the True Immortal-level beasts within, we wouldn't have known how powerful he is."

Shi Qingwu's mind exploded.

What the hell???

Bypassing the Tianba Sect's Holy Mountain Palace formation???

Casually killing True Immortal-level beasts???

The Holy Mountain Palace was the Tianba Sect's protective formation, their ultimate safeguard.

Countless years ago, it was built by the top formation masters of the Nine Realms, along with the Tianba Sect's ancestors, with immense effort!

When activated, no one below the 15th level of True Immortal could enter or leave.

Not to mention the countless True Immortal-level beasts on the second level.

As the sect master of the Bailian Sect, a subordinate sect of the Tianba Sect, Shi Qingwu knew full well how formidable it was.

But they just said...

Yi Feng actually...

Her cherry-like mouth hung open, wide enough to fit an apple.

But the people around her clearly ignored her reaction.

In their eyes, Sect Master Shi was being too dishonest. Even now, she was still pretending.

Meanwhile, Zeng Xian, the Tianba Sect's ancestor sitting on the stool, quickly added, "How could you forget to mention the five guardian beasts?"

Those beasts were their most precious treasures.

Such an important detail had to be mentioned.

Lord Yi almost harmed their most cherished possessions, and letting his wife know would have the same effect.

A whisper in the ear could be more powerful than anything they could say.

Perhaps it would make Lord Yi feel a bit guilty, and he might offer some advice on the matters of the Spirit Realm.

Deng Chao immediately understood.

The two brothers were so in sync that Zeng Xian could fart, and Deng Chao could tell how much spiritual energy he had absorbed in the past year!

"That's right, that's right!"

Deng Chao exaggeratedly exclaimed, "Our guardian beasts have been around for countless years, each one a treasure left by our ancestors!"

"Who would have thought, who would have thought, they almost all ended up in Lord Yi's cooking pot!"

"A few survived, but now they're suffering from post-traumatic stress, trembling in their dens all day."

"The most severe one is even trying to commit suicide..."

"Of course, we're not blaming Lord Yi!" Zeng Xian quickly added, "It's an honor for the beasts to be eaten by Lord Yi!"

"Exactly, exactly."

Deng Chao also chimed in, "We just want to emphasize how powerful Lord Yi is, nothing else. Sect Master Shi, don't overthink it."

The people around continued to chatter about how amazing Yi Feng was.

Each word that entered Shi Qingwu's ears felt like a peppercorn, numbing her mind.

The man she had casually brought back was actually... actually...

So powerful...

In the time she had been in seclusion, he had not only unified the fractured Bailian Sect but also brought countless other sects to their knees.

Even...

Their superior sect, the Tianba Sect, a major force in the Nine Realms, had submitted to him.

The discussions around her grew louder.

"Someone as powerful as him must be at least at the 20th level of True Immortal!"

One sect master extended his right hand, waving two fingers.

"20th level? That's nothing. I'd say he's at least at the 30th level!"

"Anyway, it's definitely higher, not lower. Who knows how high?"

"Maybe not even the ghosts know."

"Whatever, he's just insanely powerful!"

"..."

Shi Qingwu closed her eyes. The chatter around her left her in a state of shock for a long time.

After an extended period of extreme shock, she gradually calmed down.

A calmness that felt like death.

He was so powerful, yet she had been constantly worried about him.

Even during her seclusion, she couldn't focus, always concerned for him.

The moment she emerged, her first thought was to find him.

Afraid that he might suffer even the slightest harm.

Now, looking back, Shi Qingwu felt that her worries were laughable.

She was like a clown.

He was so powerful, yet he had hidden it from her so deeply.

Thinking of this, Shi Qingwu felt even more like a fool.

She slowly opened her eyes, a self-mocking smile in her calm gaze.

Forget it, forget it. To him, there was probably no need to tell her.

After all, to someone as powerful as him, she was as insignificant as a grain of sand.

There was no real connection between them.

Their marriage was just a transaction.

And even that transaction was probably just him finding some amusement out of boredom!
