Chapter 207: Chapter 207: Leaving the Valley

"You call my Young Master a waste, I fear you are worse than a waste!"

"Our Miss already asked you to leave, yet you shamelessly pester on, aren’t you a prince of a dynasty, don’t you have any shame?"

Lu’er, standing by Han Xiaoying’s side, is not so easy to speak with. Her fiery personality flared up as she directly confronted him.

Previously, when others called Chu Feng a waste, she would only clap and cheer.

But ever since the last time, when Chu Feng showed the responsibility and courage of a real man, her view of him changed. Deep down, she had accepted him as her Young Master.

Now that Prince Jianyun insults her Young Master, her Miss, due to good upbringing and knowledge, refrains from uttering harsh words.

As the maid, she took it upon herself to speak up.

"A mere Sword Slave, dared to speak to me in such a manner, are you tired of living?"

Even in the deep chambers of Cheng Mansion, Prince Jianyun couldn’t help but turn furious, drawing his sword with a clang, pointing it at Lu’er.

Cold murderous intent shot from his eyes, and nine strands of crimson qi appeared on his skin circulating endlessly. Although Prince Jianyun is only of Great Sword Master Cultivation, his combat power is extremely terrifying due to the Nine Yang Sword Veins.

Under his imposing aura, Lu’er seemed like a sheep utterly incapable of resistance.

"A servant overstepping, I beg Your Highness to be forgiving!" Han Xiaoying hastily shielded Lu’er behind her.

Faintly, one could see seven streams of Sword Qi circulating within her body, indicating her possession of the high-grade Seven-star Sword Veins.

The Seven-star Sword Veins are also known as the Seven Killings Sword Vein, which rules over metal.

Those born with these sword veins are often incredibly powerful, far surpassing their peers. However, there is a flaw: due to heavy Evil Qi, their Golden Sword Qi is highly likely to go out of control.

Just like the Shaolin’s Seven Injuries Fist, it harms both others and oneself.

During cultivation or combat, a slight misstep can lead to self-injury.

Previously, at the Jianyun Dynasty’s auction, Han Xiaoying sought an Elixir from Chu Feng because her Evil Qi was too heavy and her Golden Sword Qi was too overwhelming, causing injury to herself. To date, the issue still hasn’t resolved.

It was also because she is Elder Zhuang’s disciple that she could ask for leave to visit her home in Cloud and think about solving the problem of her damaged sword meridians.

Regrettably, she was ruthlessly refused by Chu Feng back then.

Currently, her condition makes it inadvisable to use Sword Qi, as it could potentially worsen her injuries.

However, to protect Lu’er, she had no other choice.

She could only grit her teeth, condense Sword Qi, and transform it into sword light, to confront Prince Jianyun.

"Hmph, if you dare to offend me again, I won’t be so kind next time! This time, considering Xiao Ying pleaded for you, I’ll spare you!" Prince Jianyun wouldn’t make a move against Han Xiaoying unless absolutely necessary.

Nor would he turn hostile.

At least not before he had won her over.

Prince Jianyun harbored his plans, confident that Chu Feng, having entered the Evil Spirit Valley, was sure to die. All he needed to do was wait patiently. With Chu Feng’s cultivation, if he couldn’t leave the valley in over seven days, there would be no chance of survival.

Under such circumstances, even if Han Xiaoying had principles, as long as Prince Jianyun initiated his pursuit and worked on persuading the Han family elders, he was certain he could win her over.

"Your Highness, with your noble status, why not return and rest first? Let the servants stay here instead," a Sword Slave suggested with a flattering smile.

"Eh! Did you not see Miss Han here? How can I rest assured leaving her alone near Evil Spirit Valley? I must stay with her in case any evil spirits appear and harm someone, so I can eliminate them immediately."

Prince Jianyun’s gaze slyly swept over the beautiful Han Xiaoying.

Those words were clearly meant for her, aiming to gain her favor and let her know of his care for her.

Who knew that Han Xiaoying would turn a deaf ear and not even glance at Crown Prince Jianyun, who was seeking her favor; instead, she focused intently on the exit of Evil Spirit Valley. Her thoughts were entirely fixed on Chu Feng.

In her eyes, in her heart, there was no room for any other man.

Even if other men were more distinguished or extraordinary, she wouldn’t spare them another look.

Her demeanor cast a shadow over Crown Prince Jianyun’s heart, yet he could not show it on his face.

Crown Prince Jianyun could only watch the exit of Evil Spirit Valley with a cold gaze, his jealousy towards Chu Feng escalating to new heights. He couldn’t believe that despite having stolen Chu Feng’s sword meridians, he was still surpassed by someone he considered a waste.

...

Days passed one after another.

Normally, no one would care about the life or death of the insignificant Chu Feng. However, because Han Xiaoying and Crown Prince Jianyun were stationed outside Evil Spirit Valley, the news spread and caused quite a stir within the sect.

More and more people came to watch the excitement.

Chu Yun, who had recently joined the sect, unexpectedly learned from others that her younger brother had entered the dangerous Evil Spirit Valley. Upon hearing this distressing news, she almost fainted on the spot.

Stumbling, she rushed towards Evil Spirit Valley.

She had thought that by joining the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, her younger brother would finally see the end of their hardships and no longer have to fear persecution from the Sword Cloud Royal Family.

She couldn’t believe how venomous people like Elder Yang and Steward Mu Kun were, repeatedly acting to harm her younger brother.

"Haha, it looks like that kid Chu Feng has already died inside Evil Spirit Valley! A waste is a waste, thrown in without causing even the slightest ripple!" On the seventh day, Steward Mu Kun came to check.

Finding that Chu Feng still had not left the valley, he couldn’t help but burst into joyful laughter.

In the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, it was common knowledge that if a Great Sword Master entered Evil Spirit Valley and couldn’t come out within a month, it was almost certain they had died inside. As for Sword Masters, if they couldn’t come out in seven days, they would never be able to come out.

"Xiao Ying, you can completely give up hope now. Chu Feng must have died in the valley, just give up!" Crown Prince Jianyun put on a concerned expression, which was completely hypocritical.

He actually couldn’t wait for Chu Feng to die so that he might have a chance with Han Xiaoying.

"No, it can’t be..."

Han Xiaoying bit her red lips tightly, her complexion deathly pale, and tears unavoidably slid down her delicately smooth cheeks.

Chu Yun, too, was crying her heart out. She tried several times to rush into Evil Spirit Valley to find her younger brother, but was held back by Lu’er.

"Miss Chu Yun, you must not be impulsive! You can only seek justice for your younger brother if you stay alive!" Lu’er, filled with hatred, glared at Steward Mu Kun and Elder Yang.

She hated that her own strength was too weak to kill these villains.

Just as the enemies of Chu Feng were laughing heartily, and his loved ones were crying in sorrow.

At the exit of Evil Spirit Valley, a dense mist surged, and chilling screams of evil spirits echoed from within, as if thousands of evil spirits were shrieking in unison.

Everyone was stunned by the terrifying changes in the valley.

As people started retreating to avoid being harmed by the evil spirits rushing out of the valley, a young man carrying another person walked out from within.

"Husband!"

"Younger brother!"

"Chu... Chu Feng..."

The loved ones, as well as the enemies of Chu Feng, all involuntarily called out his name.
