"This place is simply a second Ancestor Dragon Abyss. However, the Ancestor Dragon Abyss had Demonic Beasts. Here, there are all sorts of strong Vicious Beasts."
Ordinary martial artists would die if they stayed here for even a moment. No matter how strong Ye Fei was, he didn't want to be surrounded by a group of vicious beasts for no reason. He looked around and soon saw a huge rock platform at the top of the mountain not far away. It was like an open page of a book, very eye-catching.
There were many strong auras hidden in the mountain peak. Ye Fei carefully sensed them and discovered that they were human auras. However, he did not think too much about it. After all, Shang Jing had him use the medallion to teleport here. She definitely had a purpose.
Those hidden auras were likely the other youthful geniuses that the Merchant Union found. These youthful geniuses were hidden in the mountain peak. When they saw Ye Fei arrive, they were stunned.
"Who is this person?"
"I don't know him!"
"He should be the last person we were waiting for."
"Humph! He is just a minor half-step Martial Monarch that we have never seen before. To think that he wants so many of us to wait for him. Furthermore, he came so late. How arrogant!"
There were a total of six cultivators hidden in the mountain peak. There were five men and one woman. They all wore Battle Armor made of powerful Holy Tools. Just by looking at their equipment, one could tell that they were very strong.
Aside from the Holy Institute's Heaven Ranked disciples, only quasi-Emperor Noble Clans or Martial Emperor Noble Clans could wear Holy Tool Battle Armor.
Ye Fei did not see any insignia of the Holy Institute on them. He knew that these people were either from Martial Emperor Noble Clans or quasi-Emperor Noble Clans.
Hence, he felt more or less relieved.
"Since the Merchant Union dared to gather so many young experts from quasi-Emperor Noble Clans and Martial Emperor Noble Clans, this place should not be too dangerous."
Ye Fei walked over and politely performed a cupped-fist salute to the six. "I am Ye Fei. Did the Merchant Union invite you here to obtain Mental Energy Crystals?"
"That's right. We are. Originally, there were only six of us. We should have set off three days ago. However, for some reason, you cut the queue and made us wait for another three days!"
The woman in the flaming Battle Armor took off her helmet and looked at Ye Fei with a strange expression. Her eyes were fixed on Ye Fei's face. This was the first time she saw Ye Fei, but she felt that he was strangely familiar. It was as if she had seen him somewhere before.
"I find you familiar. Have we met before?" the woman asked Ye Fei.
"No, I've never seen him before!" Ye Fei's face was stern and cold, as if he was very impatient with the other party's pestering. However, a layer of cold sweat had appeared on his back.
"To think that I would meet Zhu Xiaomei here. Fortunately, she did not recognize me …" Ye Fei secretly raised his guard. He could not help but recall how Zhu Xiaomei had mistaken him for Grandmaster Zhu in the Martial God Space. She had hugged his arm and acted coquettishly.
At that time, Zhu Xiaomei's ability to act coquettishly was truly earth-shattering. If he had not acted in time to pat Zhu Xiaomei's head a few more times and praise her, he might not have been able to escape.
Of course, Ye Fei would not dare to say this even if he was beaten to death. He made up his mind that he absolutely could not give himself away in front of Zhu Xiaomei.
He deliberately put on a cold, arrogant, and unapproachable appearance, as if he did not want to interact with Zhu Xiaomei. This caused Zhu Xiaomei's expression to change. She almost suspected that she had become ugly.
Otherwise, when other youths saw her, they would all swarm around her like flies. However, Ye Fei coldly kept her at a distance. It felt as if he was guarding against a thief.
Zhu Xiaomei became more and more puzzled. However, when she saw Ye Fei's cold appearance, she felt somewhat embarrassed and went forward to inquire.
When Ye Fei arrived, he immediately attracted Zhu Xiaomei's attention. If Zhu Xiaomei looked ordinary, everyone would have ignored her. However, Zhu Xiaomei was not only beautiful, but she was also the little princess of the quasi-Emperor Zhu Clan.
The Zhu Clan was a quasi-Emperor clan famous for refining weapons. Not only was the Zhu Clan very popular among the quasi-Emperor clans, even the Martial Emperor clans in the starry skies valued the Zhu Clan. This was especially so after Grandmaster Zhu forged an Emperor Weapon a year ago. After that, he was promoted from a Weapon Grandmaster to an Emperor's teacher. The Zhu Clan's weight became even greater. As the little princess of the Zhu Clan, Zhu Xiaomei was sought after by even more people. At this moment, when Zhu Xiaomei saw Ye Fei arrive, she actually took the initiative to go forward and speak to Ye Fei.
This made them very unhappy.
What made them even more unhappy was that Ye Fei was as cold as ice when faced with Zhu Xiaomei's attempt to strike up a conversation. He did not give Zhu Xiaomei any face at all. This caused the crowd to become even angrier.
One of the geniuses quickly thought of Ye Fei's name. He looked at Ye Fei in surprise and said, "You are Demon Sage Ye Fei, the Holy Son of the True Martial Sacred Court?"
"What? He is Ye Fei, the demon who supposedly forced Goddess Lu Qing to sleep with him!" One of the young geniuses deliberately said loudly.
This young man was called Zhang Ye. He seemed to be the person with the highest status among the five. When they saw him step forward, the others did not say anything. They only looked at Ye Fei with pity.
Ye Fei was startled. He could clearly feel hostility coming from Zhang Ye. But, he had just arrived and he hadn't offended this person. Could it be because of her …? He turned his head and looked at Zhu Xiaomei. Zhu Xiaomei was also looking at him curiously. She even winked at him.
It was as if she were telling Ye Fei that if he was willing to answer her question, she could help him out of this situation. Ye Fei understood Zhu Xiaomei's meaning. He bitterly smiled in his heart. He knew that if he told Zhu Xiaomei the truth, Zhu Xiaomei would not help him out of this situation. Instead, she would directly fight him to the death.
Ye Fei immediately responded to Zhu Xiaomei with an even colder look. This left Zhu Xiaomei slightly disappointed. But, she was even more certain that she had met Ye Fei somewhere before. Otherwise, she wouldn't have such a strange feeling, as if she had seen a relative.
At the same time, within this strange feeling, there was also a strange childlike playfulness that Zhu Xiaomei couldn't describe. It was as if she could hug Ye Fei without any scruples and act like a spoiled child in front of an elder.
It was also this strange feeling that made Zhu Xiaomei unable to stop her gaze from landing on Ye Fei even though she knew that Ye Fei was coldly rejecting her.
Zhang Ye had clearly discovered that something was wrong with Zhu Xiaomei. He had already insulted Ye Fei, but not only did he not arouse Zhu Xiaomei's disgust, he even made Zhu Xiaomei and Ye Fei exchange flirtatious glances. The four young geniuses all had ugly expressions. Zhang Ye felt as if a ball of fire was burning in his heart.
"Ye Fei, you sure have guts. You tarnished the Goddess' innocence and now you use such despicable methods to deceive the Zhu Family's little princess! Little Sister Zhu, don't worry. With me, Zhang Ye, here, I will definitely not let this demon take a single step near you! "
"Scram! You don't have the right to enter the Shang Family's Small World with us! "
