Chapter 986: So Its A Jealousy Pot, Then Ill Pla

At the peak of the clouds.

Outside the pavilion, on the jade steps.

Bai Piaopiao greeted with a smile, and Yi Feng responded with a hearty laugh.

"Miss Bai, you're too kind. There's no need to make such a grand gesture, choosing such a fine place for tea. We don't need to be so formal."

Tea drinking.

Yi Feng absolutely loved it.

Drinking alcohol could lead to trouble.

But tea was the perfect opportunity to discuss serious matters.

At the moment, he was pondering how to bring up the topic. With tea as a medium, he could easily steer the conversation and ask Su Jie for a small favor. It would all fall into place naturally!

It was as if the heavens were helping him.

Seeing Bai Piaopiao's warm welcome, Yi Feng couldn't help but feel more and more delighted.

Bai Piaopiao, noticing his radiant demeanor, also grew increasingly pleased.

Their eyes met, filled with warmth.

Just as the two were about to step forward and begin their delightful morning tea.

Suddenly.

A voice rang out from the distance!

"Who are you?"

"How dare you be so insolent in the presence of the White Emperor without paying your respects!?"

Yi Feng frowned.

He turned to look.

In the elegant pavilion behind Bai Piaopiao stood a young man.

If you could call him a man.

He was rather effeminate, with an overly pale complexion, as if he had applied powder, resembling those "ge ge" types from his past life, his face so smooth you could scrape off a layer.

A woman?

Not quite.

At least the glare in his eyes was unmistakably fierce. If a woman were that ferocious, she'd have to be a shrew!

From Yi Feng's understanding.

Bai Piaopiao was always gentle and graceful, well-mannered and cultured. She would never associate with a shrew.

He couldn't figure out why.

How had he managed to provoke such a peculiar character?

Glancing at the man, Yi Feng didn't immediately respond.

Instead, he turned to Bai Piaopiao for clarification.

"Miss Bai, is this your friend?"

Bai Piaopiao's eyes showed a hint of apology before she spoke firmly, "Not a friend, just an acquaintance."

Hearing this, Yi Feng felt relieved. Since they weren't friends, there was no need to show too much respect.

The two continued forward.

As if nothing had happened, they focused on enjoying their tea.

However.

This reaction only fueled Gu Qingcheng's anger!

As a Saint.

Being ignored by Bai Piaopiao was one thing.

He was willing to endure that.

But who was this brat, daring to ignore him repeatedly?

This was a grave insult!

Seeing the two approach.

Standing mere inches apart!

That closeness instantly ignited Gu Qingcheng's fury!

His hands clenched behind his back.

The jade-bone sandalwood fan in his grip creaked under the pressure!

Suddenly!

He roared!

"A Saint cannot be insulted...!"

"A lowly commoner with such meager cultivation dares to ignore this Saint and act improperly towards the White Emperor! Unforgivable!"

"Today, I shall teach you a lesson!"

The roar thundered like a storm!

Instantly, the skies darkened!

A overwhelming pressure descended, the power of the Dao surged, and even the clouds in the sky churned like a raging river!

In an instant.

Yi Feng, like an ant, was about to be swallowed by this immense pressure!

Bai Piaopiao stepped forward in anger!

She spread her arms, blocking the way, her own power erupting!

"Chess Saint!"

"Yi Feng is my honored guest. You are being too rude!"

Her gentle voice rang out.

Petals swirled around her, forming a sea of flowers!

The sea of clouds clashed with the river of petals!

The heavens and earth seemed to shift.

The once serene peak was now engulfed in chaos, as if a storm had descended!

As the gale raged.

Gu Qingcheng's jealousy burned even brighter!

He never expected.

Bai Piaopiao would stand up to him for this brat!

But hearing her angry voice.

Gu Qingcheng had no choice but to rein in his power slightly. With a wave of his sleeve, the pressure dissipated, and everything returned to calm.

In an instant, the storm had passed.

In the blink of an eye, peace was restored.

With a mere gesture, the heavens and earth shifted.

Such was the terror of a Saint's power!

Yi Feng was also shaken by the spectacle, feeling a slight yearning, but at the same time, he finally understood the root of the issue.

That pretty boy.

Clearly had a thing for Bai Piaopiao, and his jealousy had sparked this outburst, using it as an excuse to attack.

Talking about how a Saint cannot be insulted, when he was the one being rude first.

What a master at shifting blame.

Though petty, he was indeed a Saint.

His strength was formidable.

From the looks of it, his cultivation seemed slightly above Bai Piaopiao's.

Such a powerful being.

Yet so narrow-minded?

Just because he had exchanged a few words with Bai Piaopiao, coupled with their long-standing friendship, he was mistaken for having ulterior motives. It was truly astonishing!

Is this what a Saint is like?

Aside from his cultivation, his character doesn't seem all that impressive!

Though he was吐槽ing...

Yi Feng suddenly had a flash of inspiration!

He had been pondering earlier, trying to find a reason to get Bai Piaopiao to persuade Su Jie, and had been racking his brains over it.

But now.

Yi Feng's mind cleared.

A Saint-level expert...

Wasn't one right in front of him?

Just as he was thinking about it, one had come knocking!

If he could get this guy to act.

Wouldn't that be perfect?

It would save a lot of trouble and spare Bai Piaopiao any awkwardness. A win-win situation!

Directly blooming!

Yi Feng, you're truly a genius!

With his mind clear.

Yi Feng didn't take this commotion seriously at all. In fact, he was even more excited.

Bai Piaopiao glanced back apologetically.

"Sorry about this..."

Before she could finish, Yi Feng waved it off magnanimously.

"No worries, no worries. No acquaintance is made without a little conflict."

His carefree words showcased his broad-mindedness.

In contrast, Gu Qingcheng's pettiness became even more apparent.

The difference was clear.

Bai Piaopiao's heart swelled with joy, and her gaze towards Yi Feng grew even warmer.

She paid no further attention to the others.

Continuing forward, she led the way to the elegant pavilion.

The way her eyes were fixed on someone else was something Gu Qingcheng had never seen before. His face turned almost green with rage, and his so-called grace was on the verge of collapsing!

However.

Having already offended Bai Piaopiao with his earlier rudeness, he had no choice but to silently endure, waiting for a chance to redeem himself.

Little did he know.

Just as this brat brushed past him, he even gave him a smile!

In that gaze...

There was a glint of triumph.

Was this... a provocation!?

Gu Qingcheng frowned slightly, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

A nobody.

In terms of cultivation.

In terms of looks, demeanor, or family background, what could he possibly have that could compare to him?

Such a mediocre person.

How dare he have the audacity to provoke him!?

Gu Qingcheng was so angry he laughed.

He couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

"Hmph."

With a disdainful glance, as a Saint, he would never lower himself to pay attention to such a minor character.

His earlier public display of temper.

Would never happen again!

As for behind the scenes...

Seeing his calm demeanor.

Yi Feng also gave him a bit more respect.

After all, he was a Saint, and could still maintain his composure.

From the looks of it.

He would need to stir up a bit more trouble.

A jealousy pot, huh?

Then I'll play the role of a formidable rival!

Once inside the elegant pavilion.

Yi Feng's face lit up with a smile.

He then sat down beside Bai Piaopiao, continuing to gaze at her!

This time.

Gu Qingcheng's face darkened.

Watching Yi Feng take a seat so close, he almost cursed out loud!

Bastard!

This was a level of closeness even he had never achieved!

Gu Qingcheng gritted his teeth in secret.

His anger was becoming harder to contain.

Bai Piaopiao, however, nodded and poured tea, seemingly unbothered.

Instantly.

Gu Qingcheng had a bad premonition, and the flames of anger in his heart reignited!

This couldn't be...

Bai Piaopiao was always reserved, never showing any interest in any man. Her usual gentleness and magnanimity were merely a reflection of her cultured and refined nature.

Such a peerless beauty.

How could she possibly be so close to such an ordinary man!?

Could it be!?

Before his suspicions could solidify, Yi Feng spoke up again.

"Miss Bai."

"Earlier, with the strong winds, your hair got a bit messy."

Bai Piaopiao looked up, a hint of unease in her eyes.

"Did it...?"

She had dressed up early, meticulously preparing for Yi Feng, enduring several twists and turns, finally sitting down to share tea with him.

At this critical moment.

Had she made a blunder?

What should she do.

Would Yi Feng have a bad impression of her...

As Bai Piaopiao fretted.

Yi Feng glanced at Gu Qingcheng.

Seeing that pretty boy's eyebrows twitch, he finally seemed a bit unsettled.

Just needed a little more fuel.

Still young, after all.

Yi Feng chuckled warmly, his tone becoming even more affectionate.

"No worries."

"I happen to know a trendy hairstyle. If Miss Bai doesn't mind, I'd be happy to help you tidy up your hair."

As soon as the words left his mouth.

Gu Qingcheng was stunned!

Bai Piaopiao also looked up in surprise.

She had never imagined.

That their relationship could progress so quickly.

In just one day, they had surpassed years of acquaintance.

Was it because of their long separation?

Or was it Gu Qingcheng's appearance?

Did Yi Feng care?

If so.

Then Gu Qingcheng wasn't so bad after all, perhaps even a good person...

Gazing into Yi Feng's starry eyes.

Their eyes met.

Bai Piaopiao couldn't bear to look any longer, forgetting everything around her, her heart pounding so loudly she could almost hear it.

She replied in a soft, almost inaudible voice.

"Okay... okay."

Her gentle voice rang out.

Gu Qingcheng unconsciously tightened his grip, and the fan in his hand snapped!

"Crack!"

Why!?

Why was Bai Piaopiao, who usually kept people at arm's length, acting like a completely different person today!?

She was actually!

Willing to let such a brat get so close to her!?

Repeatedly showing such intimacy!

What on earth was going on!!!

Even as he seethed with rage, his face turning green!

The two of them paid him no heed.

Watching as Yi Feng's hands touched her hair, Bai Piaopiao lowered her head, waiting. The scene of his dreams playing out before his eyes, Gu Qingcheng finally snapped!

He stood up abruptly!

Pointing angrily, he could no longer hold back!

"Bastard! Who do you think you are, daring to covet Piaopiao!?"

Tsk tsk.

He's lost it.

Totally lost it!

Not even calling her the White Emperor anymore, directly using her name, and with such familiarity.

Definitely an old jealousy pot!

As the roar echoed.

Bai Piaopiao also snapped out of her daze, instinctively shielding Yi Feng with one hand.

Yi Feng, however, showed no fear.

In fact, he added fuel to the fire!

"Our—business—is none of your concern."

He emphasized each word, grinning triumphantly!

Sure enough.

That pretty boy was so angry he pointed a trembling finger at him!

"You!"

"You're asking for death!!!"

These words hit the nail on the head for Yi Feng.

He immediately stood up.

The smile on his face grew even wider!

"Yes! You've seen right through me!"

Gu Qingcheng was stunned by the retort!

He had never seen such a reckless brat!

Glancing at Bai Piaopiao.

A murderous intent flashed in Gu Qingcheng's eyes!

"Fine!"

"I hope you can maintain your arrogance in the future!"

With a cold snort!

The Saint waved his sleeve and stepped forward, then with a tear in space, vanished without a trace.

Everything came to an abrupt halt.

He's gone...?

Ah, do all immortal cultivators like to make empty threats?

Yi Feng felt a bit disappointed, his expression turning somber.

Beside him.

Bai Piaopiao bit her lip, her voice filled with concern.

"Yi Feng... you've stirred up a hornet's nest!"
