Feng originally did not know. The reason many chose to enter was in order to fight other disciples. Losing was a disgrace and winning could cause a blood feud. Wearing a mask was a way to overcome all of these issues.
“I also want to come, Lin Feng can stay by my side at all times and protect me. I know I will be safe with him by my side” said Jing Yun in a charming yet innocent voice. Lin Feng was stupefied. Both Han Man and Lin Feng were staring at Jing Yun wide eyed. Was this really the shy girl from before?
“Why are you two looking at me like that?” said Jing Yun glancing at them and stamping softly on the ground.
“It’s nothing, don’t worry” said Lin Feng smiling and continuing as if nothing had happened.
Lin Feng and Han Man thought it was strange to see her so bold while still acting like a cute and innocent child. Han Man was looking at Jing Yun confused at the change he had seen. He had been really dumbfounded to hear Jing Yun say she wanted Lin Feng to protect her. How fearless was she to be so direct.
“Alright you can come with us too. We should be discreet and not go looking for trouble.” said Lin Feng quickly analyzing the situation before agreeing. There were many extremely talented Cultivators down in the gorge and to some extent it was frequented by Elite disciples. Elite disciples were all relatively proud and aloof. They would refrain from attacking ordinary disciples without being provoked. So with Lin Feng’s help, they were convinced that they could go down in the gorge without getting into too much trouble. Elite disciples could kill other disciples without repercussions from the sect. They had the power to do as they pleased.
Lin Feng had the bad luck of accidentally coming across both a ranked disciple who wanted to hunt him down and a pompous Elite disciple. His luck really was terrible.
After having all the details confirmed they all departed in different directions. Lin Feng went back to his room and continued to cultivate without stopping to sleep. Seeing how weak he was compared to others, had strengthened his willpower and he felt a flame ignite in his body as if it was screaming for him to be the strongest.
The morning after Han Man had come to pick up Lin Feng and they both immediately left to go and meet Jing Yun.
The Yun Hai sect was extremely large. The ordinary disciples’ rooms covered several districts and this area was the size of a small town.
Lin Feng and Han Man arrived to the place where they had agreed to meet with Jing Yun. They saw that Jing Yun’s face was pale and worried. There was a young boy standing in front of her talking with an evil look on his face.
“Jing Yun, what’s the matter?” Lin Feng asked while approaching at an increased speed.
“Get lost, you piece of trash! Can’t you see that I’m talking to Jing Yun? What makes you think you have the right to interrupt me?” said the young boy to Lin Feng while narrowing his eyes. He knew Lin Feng in the past and would often join in bullying him.
“Lin Feng, you are finally here!” said Jing Yun to Lin Feng smiling at him and ignoring the young disciple’s remark.
“Shall we go?” said Lin Feng mockingly while not even looking at the young boy. Han Man, Lin Feng and Jing Yun all turned to leave without even glancing back at the young disciple.
“Wait, wait, Han Man, Jing Yun” said the young boy while grabbing Jing Yun’s sleeve to stop her from leaving.
“Get lost. Can’t you see we have something to do? What makes you think you have the right to interrupt me?” Lin Feng said, throwing the young disciples words back at him while knocking his hand away from Jing Yun.
