As if he had seen through the worri

As if he had seen through the worries that clouded Sikong Zhaixing, the Ascension Sect’s sectmaster said, “Brother Sikong, you do not have to be too worried about it. Our two powers have already entered an alliance now. Not only is Chu Feng your Southern Cyanwood Forest’s disciple, he is also equivalent to being a disciple of our Ascension Sect. Our Ascension Sect will spare no effort to protect him.”

“That’s right, of course…” Hearing those words, Sikong Zhaixing nodded repeatedly. The worry in his heart immediately lessened greatly. He was an experienced individual, and knew that the Ascension Sect’s sectmaster was showing his sincerity, the sincerity of becoming allies with his Southern Cyanwood Forest.

“Sigh, in my opinion, these two children are very well matched. Don’t you think so, Headmaster Sikong?” Suddenly, Bai Ruochen’s mother said those words smilingly.

“Eh, this…” At this moment, Sikong Zhaixing’s expression stiffened. He was caught off-guard by the words suddenly spoken by Bai Ruochen’s mother, and did not know how to respond.

In fact, it was not limited to Sikong Zhaixing, as even the Ascension Sect’s sectmaster was opening his mouth wide in shock.

“Hehe, I’m just joking. Look at how shocked the two of you became.”

“I advocate the free love of youngsters, and would most definitely arrange a marriage for them.” Seeing their reactions, Bai Ruochen’s mother covered her mouth and laughed. Only then did Sikong Zhaixing and the Ascension Sect’s sectmaster heaved a breath of relief.

To be honest, Sikong Zhaixing truly felt that they were a perfect match too. Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen’s cultivations were truly well-matched. However, for two people to be together, they must be harmonious. As for Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen, they did not appear to have any passion for the other party at all. If the two of them were to be put together, it would not go too well.

However, after Bai Ruochen’s mother said those words, Sikong Zhaixing began to have an idea of secretly playing the matchmaker and putting the two of them together. After all, the Ascension Sect and their Southern Cyanwood Forest had now become allies. If the two of them were able to have a connection through marriage, it would be an even happier occasion.

However, when he looked to Bai Ruochen’s mother, he felt a bit of unrest. He do not dare to determine whether this woman was joking as she said those words, or whether she truly has the intention, because she was truly too difficult to see through.

Even though Bai Ruochen’s mother’s age was way younger than his and the Ascension Sect’s sectmaster’s, and she was truly of the younger generation when compared to them, she gave Sikong Zhaixing an extremely incomprehensible sensation. It was so much so that he felt a trace of danger from her, causing him to fear her heartily.

As for Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen, neither of them knew about the scheme that Sikong Zhaixing had. At this moment, the two of them had reached the deepest part of the tunnel.

The tunnel was no longer going straight down. Instead, it began to go across. Furthermore, the square-shaped tunnel was extremely spacious and carefully decorated. Even the illuminating stones on the either wall were especially bright and white in color, as opposed to the ordinary green, and illuminated the tunnel as if they were out in daylight.

Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen walked within the bright tunnel. They did not try to run to the end because there were paintings carved on the sides of the tunnel. They were paintings of people, beasts and battles. It seemed as if they were there to tell the story of an individual, and of that individual’s life.

Chu Feng and Bai Ruochen were involuntarily attracted to these paintings. This was a rare moment of tranquility for them. That was because the two of them knew that if they continued onward, they would likely not meet such a tranquil place, and dangers and difficulties would definitely welcome them ahead.

Suddenly, Chu Feng asked, “Miss Bai, why did you lie?”

“What are you talking about?” Bai Ruochen cast a glance at Chu Feng. She displayed an expression of bewilderment.

“You clearly reached the ninth floor in the Southern Cyanwood Forest’s Pagoda. Why did you say that you’ve only reached the sixth floor?” Chu Feng asked with a smile.

“What does this have to do with you?” Bai Ruochen once again cast Chu Feng a glance. After that, she quickened her speed.

Chu Feng remained calm after the two side glances from Bai Ruochen. He was already accustomed to this. Although this girl’s age was younger than his own, she was totally an ice beauty. For Chu Feng, among the women that he knew, likely only Tantai Xue was as cold as this Bai Ruochen.

However, at this moment, Chu Feng was laughing in his heart. Although Bai Ruochen did not tell him the reason why, she had indirectly admitted that she had reached the ninth floor of the Southern Cyanwood Forest’s Pagoda.
