CHAPTER 507: CHAPTER 517: PEOPLE NEED FACE, TREES NEED BARK
"Heh heh, Junior Sister Han, why the hurry? Maybe your husband is just in his last dying struggle! But I advise you not to hold out any hope because even I, as a Four-star Sword God of the Inner Sect, couldn’t complete it; he’s even less likely to complete this extremely difficult task!"
Qin Shan’s face bore a cold smirk, with a schadenfreude tone.
While belittling Chu Feng, he couldn’t help showing off a bit of his sense of superiority.
In Qin Shan’s mind, not only was he an Inner Sect Disciple, but he also possessed Four-star Sword God Cultivation. That was absolutely enough to crush Chu Feng in an instant.
A task that even he couldn’t complete was certainly impossible for Chu Feng, a Great Sword Master from the Outer Sect.
Han Xiaoying simply thought of Qin Shan’s words as hot air, not even giving him a glance.
She was very clever, fully aware of Qin Shan’s strength and that she shouldn’t give him any unwarranted thoughts or opportunities. Otherwise, it could bring disaster upon her own husband.
As long as she ignored Qin Shan, their frigid attitude would keep him at bay, letting him know it was hopeless.
Unexpectedly, her disregard for Qin Shan didn’t faze him, his skin was thick indeed.
Showing no awareness of being unwelcome.
Still shamelessly staring at her beautiful face, he said, "Junior Sister Han, I know that you are a Seven-star Sword Veins individual. If you’re willing, I can introduce you to a protector of the Inner Sect to take you as a disciple."
"Then, even if you haven’t grasped the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill, you can still enter the Inner Sect! Both your status and treatment will greatly improve."
Qin Shan was very cunning, he never explicitly mentioned any designs he might have on Han Xiaoying, instead constantly tempting her with various benefits. Last time he offered her a lighter task.
This time, he was helping her enter the Inner Sect.
If Han Xiaoying agreed, she would step by step fall into his trap and eventually be duped by Qin Shan.
If she were a materialistic girl or one easily swayed by status, and not loyal enough in love, she might succumb to Qin Shan’s help due to the temptation.
However, Han Xiaoying didn’t even consider it; her expression coldly stated, "I don’t need it!"
This time, she lacked even the necessary polite courtesy. She flatly refused, with her disgust for Qin Shan clearly written on her face.
"Junior Sister Han, why such haste in rejecting? You can think it over!"
Qin Shan was a truly despicable person.
The more he couldn’t have something, the more he wanted it.
And Han Xiaoying’s looks, temperament, were enough to make countless men’s hearts throb.
Add to that her fair skin, outstanding figure, coupled with her aloof and self-admiring air, she was like a fairy descended to the mundane world.
"No need!" A man’s voice rang out.
Qin Shan’s brows furrowed, as a torrent of Evil Qi and dominance all burst forth simultaneously.
Which blind fool, tired of living, dared to ruin his good deed?
While Qin Shan was very polite to Han Xiaoying, due to his possessive desire for her. Before he could have her, he surely wanted to maintain a good image.
"It’s you!" Qin Shan looked closely and saw a tall and handsome young man striding forward. It was none other than Chu Feng, returning from his mission.
"Heh heh, who else did you think it could be?"
"Although Junior Brother Qin is a disciple of the Inner Sect and holds a noble status, there’s something presumptuous I must say that I couldn’t keep in any longer!"
Chu Feng wore a wicked smile, as Qin Shan over and over tangled with his wife.
Without giving this guy a taste of his own medicine, he might not realize that Lord Ma has three eyes.
"Speak!" Qin Shan took a deep breath, trying to maintain the demeanor of a gentleman.
Despite the surging rage in his chest upon seeing Chu Feng, his face showed no sign of it. In front of so many people, especially with the great beauty Han Xiaoying present, he wouldn’t ruin his gentle and noble image.
Sometimes, pretending to be a hypocrite is quite a tiresome task.
Especially when encountering Chu Feng, a master at dealing with hypocrites, it becomes even more exhausting.
Everyone’s gaze was focused on Chu Feng’s face.
They all wanted to hear what kind of advice Chu Feng had, and what he wanted to tell Qin Shan?
Han Xiaoying’s beautiful eyes, as if glued in place, joyfully gazed at her lover. In this final moment, Chu Feng finally arrived.
Knowing Chu Feng as she did and seeing the triumphant smile on his face, there was a good nine out of ten chances that Chu Feng had completed the incredibly tough Red List Task.
"People need face, trees need bark! Junior Brother Qin, please have some shame and stop harassing my wife. Can’t you see that my wife is utterly disgusted by you?"
"Why persist like a fly, shamelessly buzzing and bothering her? Why bother! There’s plenty of fish in the sea. If no women fancy you, there’s an abundance of sows in the pigpen, they get all hot and bothered, they don’t care what you look like, as long as you’re a male!"
Ha ha...
Chu Feng’s ’advice’ caused the crowd to roar with laughter. Some people even laughed until they cried.
Qin Shan’s face turned ashen, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into.
"Sharp-tongued and quick-witted, stop babbling here! You’ve failed your task, haven’t you?"
"You’ll be crying in a moment!"
Qin Shan turned to look at Vice Hall Master Yang inside the window. Their eyes communicated, and as Vice Hall Master Yang nodded slightly, he cast a glance at Chu Feng, his eyes flickering with a hint of coldness.
He had long received Qin Shan’s hint.
If Chu Feng failed, he would surely impose heavy punishment on Chu Feng.
"Chu Feng, you should undertake tasks within your ability! Haven’t you weighed up how difficult it is to accept a Red List Task?"
"You should learn your lesson for the future!"
Mao Wu Mountain Master gave Chu Feng a ’sincere’ lecture.
In this, there was likely an attempt to ingratiate himself with Qin Shan. After all, with the status of Mao Wu Mountain Master, it was usually extremely difficult to get acquainted with noble figures like Qin Shan.
"Buddy, task submission!"
Chu Feng walked up to the window and threw his Task Token to the young man inside.
"Who are you calling buddy?" The registering youth couldn’t help but frown and asked angrily. ’Buddy’ implied the status of a laborer or an attendant.
Although his status was not high, he was still an employee of the Task Hall.
Filled with a sense of superiority, he always thought of himself as an important person.
At least ten times, a hundred times more noble than these ordinary Outer Disciples.
"Not fond of ’buddy’? Hurry up and register for me, waiter, we’re almost out of time!" Chu Feng urged the registering youth, infuriating him to the point of speechlessness.
Spurt!
The registering youth almost spat out blood due to rage, nearly fuming to death because of Chu Feng.
"Task failed..."
The registering youth gritted his teeth, about to announce the punishment for failing the task.
However, Chu Feng scoffed and said, "Who told you the task failed? Don’t judge by appearances!"
"Let me tell you, I have already completed this task. From now on, the precious Medicinal Herbs of Medicine Mountain number 108 will definitely not be lost anymore." Chu Feng stated very confidently.
