He knew then that Nie Hengzhou knew nothing about the rumors, and had no lesbian feelings towards that Feng Yu.

The disciples who were chatting animatedly didn't dare to say anything more when they saw it was Chen Qifeng. They heard him scold, "Are you guys so bored? You don't even need to refine weapons. Have you finished all your tasks?"

The group of disciples scattered like birds and beasts, whispering to each other in confusion as they left.

"Uncle Chen, what's wrong?"

Normally, Chen Qifeng is a gentle person and has never been so harsh in his words.

"Could it be that something unexpected happened with Uncle Master Nie's relationship with a Taoist partner?"

"Please stop talking. Uncle Chen must be doing this for our own good. Let's just complete the mission as soon as possible."

They knew that Chen Qifeng worked at the Weapon Refining Peak all day and spent the most time with Uncle Master Nie, so he must be the person who knew him best.

"I remember that Feng Yu came to Cangwu Realm a few days ago. The reason Uncle Master Nie went to Spirit Beast Peak was because of his beast egg. He went there to ask the Peak Master for advice."

The rules of the Weapon Refining Peak were quite strict, and gossip was rare. However, since the protagonist of this rumor was their Acting Peak Master, and it was a major event like a couple's marriage, everyone was excited to say a few words.

Once they realized that the rumor might be false, they dared not say anything more about it.

Over at the Spirit Beast Peak, Feng Yu was anxiously waiting for the Peak Master in the main hall. The longer she waited, the more worried she became. She paced back and forth in the hall.

Ying Fulin walked into the hall and wanted to ask someone to call Feng Yu to see him, but he didn't expect that she was already in the hall.

Feng Yu saw the Peak Master walk in. She stopped and looked at him carefully, but found that she couldn't tell anything from his face.

Ying Fulin sat down in the main seat and adjusted his wide sleeves.

"Feng Yu, what's the matter with the rumor? Tell this Peak Master about it."

Feng Yu's eyes flickered: "I didn't spread it, and I don't know who spread it."

Ying Fulin's face turned stern. "Could it be that this Peak Master spread it? When you told me that you and Nie Hengzhou were in love and asked me to propose to the Sect Master, I didn't expect you to dare to lie to me."

Feng Yu raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes. She choked and said, "Peak Master, it was indeed me who spread the rumor. Please have mercy on me! I really like Senior Brother Nie so much."

Ying Fulin scolded: "Return Senior Brother Nie. He is now your Uncle Nie, and will be the head of the Weapon Refining Peak in the future."

Then he said in a gentle tone: "As a girl, do you really have no shame? You dare to spread such rumors. And you even took advantage of me, your master.

Did you know that Nie Hengzhou said he has absolutely no romantic feelings for you and asked you to deal with the rumors?

Feng Yu looked at her master blankly and said, "But, Senior Brother Nie was the one who took the best care of me back in Qingxuan Continent. Now he says there's no such thing as love between men and women?"

Ying Fulin asked, "Did he tell you explicitly that he likes you?"

Feng Yu lowered her head and said, "No."

Ying Fulin was furious: "No, you dare to tell me that you two are in love, are you kidding your master?"

Feng Yu just lowered her head and started crying.

"You go, you go tell everyone there is no such thing as a couples' ceremony."

Feng Yu looked at Master Ying Feng in disbelief: "Master, how can I speak?"

"You can spread the rumors as you wish. Don't think that this Peak Master doesn't know. If I had known this would happen, why would I have done it in the first place?"

Finally, he warned, "Don't imply that Nie Hengzhou is at fault. The fault lies entirely with you. I'll have people watching you do things. Once this matter is dealt with, you can retreat!"

Feng Yu didn't want to let it go like this. She begged, "Master, please let me go and say a few words to Senior Brother Nie...Uncle Nie! Otherwise, I won't be willing to give in."

Ying Fulin saw her stubbornness. He had wanted to protect her, but judging by Nie Hengzhou's expression, he knew he had no romantic feelings for Feng Yu. Since she still refused to give up, he'd let her bang her head against the wall.

Seeing her stubborn expression, he had no choice but to let her go. He said coldly, "Okay, go see him yourself. If he can change his mind, that's great. If not, you should deal with the rumors and go into seclusion immediately for six months."

Feng Yu agreed and retreated quickly.

The disciple guarding the temple gate saw tears on her face and her eyes were red, and knew that she must have been reprimanded by the peak master in the temple just now.

At this time, Qiying, a female cultivator from Spirit Beast Peak, came forward to greet her, "Master, we must quickly prepare the necessary items for the couple-forming ceremony. Time is running out."

Feng Yu looked at Qi Ying, her face pale, but she still pulled herself together and said, "I'm not busy. I still have things to do."

With that, he flew away on his sword.

Qi Ying saw her expression and watched her fly away before muttering, "What's wrong? Why are you crying when you're about to get married?"

The disciple guarding the gate said, "He was just scolded by Feng Tong."

Qi Ying asked with interest, "Do you know why?"

The disciple guarding the gate smiled faintly and said, "I don't know. Why do you want to know this?"

Qi Ying looked at his wary expression and said, "No, I just wanted to help Uncle Feng with his worries."

Finished talking and left.

Nie Hengzhou saw the two big guys in the main hall agreeing to deal with the rumors. He was worried that someone would interfere. As soon as he returned to the Weapon Refining Peak, he ordered people to pay close attention to the rumors.

He really hoped that this matter could be dealt with immediately so that he could go find Gu Liyue.

Unexpectedly, just as he arrived at the Weapon Refining Peak and sat down to take care of some matters, he heard the gatekeeper disciple Lin Weiran come to report: "Uncle Feng from the Spirit Beast Peak is here to see you."

There was a hint of ambiguity on Lin Weiran's face. Nie Hengzhou glared at him angrily. Lin Weiran inexplicably put away his joking thoughts, straightened his face, and imitated the new peak master's cold expression.

Nie Hengzhou then said with satisfaction: "Let her in. Don't retreat."

Seeing that Chen Qifeng was not in the hall, Lin Weiran knew that he had gone out to do something, so he agreed.

So he led Feng Yu into the hall and stood beside her.

Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, Feng Yu said, "Master Nie...Uncle, can you please excuse me for a moment?"

Lin Weiran glanced at Nie Hengzhou and stood there nervously.

Nie Hengzhou sat in the main seat and looked at her condescendingly, as noble as a god. "No need. There's nothing between you and me that can't be known to others. What brings you to this Peak Master today?"

Feng Yu glanced at Lin Weiran and knew that it must be Nie Hengzhou's order, and she could do nothing about it.

I felt Nie Hengzhou's distant attitude again, and my heart felt bitter.

"I came here today to ask Uncle Nie if he is willing to become my Taoist partner." Feng Yu gritted her teeth and asked the question she wanted to know.

Lin Weiran widened his eyes, looking surprised: Is this something he can hear?

It turns out that the two parties involved have not yet reached an agreement on the rumor that is circulating outside.
