Chapter 395 Hua Mengjie's Ignorance

"Mengjie, you really don't need to force yourself anymore." Li Qingfeng smiled slightly, his smile carrying a hint of helplessness and relief. "Since we don't have enough contribution points, we can only head back home."

Upon hearing this, Hua Mengjie's beautiful face revealed an undisguised look of disappointment and guilt.

She bit her lip tightly, as if trying to etch the self-blame deep into her heart: "But... Brother Qingfeng, it's all my fault. I was so sure that I could get that treasure, but now I've disappointed you because of my broken promise. But please believe me, I will definitely find a way to raise the required contribution points as soon as possible!"

"Silly girl, don't say that. This matter is full of variables. You have already done your best," Li Qingfeng said gently.

However, deep within his seemingly gentle gaze, a barely perceptible hint of resentment flashed by.

After a brief pause, Li Qingfeng seemed to have suddenly thought of a good idea, and his eyes became firm:

"Since Elder Chen Xuan is unwilling to exchange it for us in the conventional way, let's think of another way. Perhaps there are other ways to achieve our goal?"

"How about another way?" Hua Mengjie asked, puzzled.

“Yes, since Elder Chen Xuan needs contribution points, then we’ll use other methods to obtain peach blossoms.” Li Qingfeng smiled mysteriously.

Hua Mengjie and the disciples of the Mission Hall were somewhat puzzled, as they did not understand what other methods Li Qingfeng was referring to.

However, Li Qingfeng didn't linger with them and left with Hua Mengjie.

"Brother Qingfeng, the other method you mentioned is..."

"Look, the producer of this lucky peach blossom is Chen Xuan, and he has just joined the sect, and his relationship with you is the closest..."

"You mean..."

“That’s right! As long as Mengjie tries her best to build a good relationship with Elder Chen Xuan, we might even get free peach blossoms to use! Every day, isn’t that more ingenious than exchanging them at the mission hall?” Li Qingfeng laughed.

“Yes, Brother Qingfeng is right! But…” Hua Mengjie bit her lip slightly, a hint of hesitation on her face, as if she had some unspeakable words hidden in her heart.

After all, in her eyes, Chen Xuan was just a young, inexperienced boy of low seniority. For a proud woman like her to lower herself to actively fawn over or beg others was an extremely embarrassing thing for her.

"But what?" Li Qingfeng noticed Hua Mengjie's unusual behavior and asked gently.

Hua Mengjie was taken aback by Li Qingfeng's question, then quickly waved her hand and said, "Oh, no, it's nothing, Brother Qingfeng, don't ask. I promise, I will definitely try my best to get along well with Elder Chen Xuan, Brother Qingfeng, you can rest assured!"

"Well, since that's the case, then I won't linger any longer. As you know, as the head of a sect, I have many complicated matters to handle every day, and I really can't spare the time." Li Qingfeng sighed helplessly, then earnestly advised:

"Remember what I said, you must maintain a good relationship with Elder Chen Xuan. This is crucial for whether I can marry you openly and legitimately in the future!" After saying this, Li Qingfeng turned to leave.

"Okay, then Brother Qingfeng, you must come visit me more often when you have time!"

"It's only a matter of time before it happens between us, why rush it!"

"Hmm..." Hua Mengjie nodded with a blush, watching Li Qingfeng leave.

Li Qingfeng, after leaving the Flying Immortal Sect, quickly returned to his own sect.

"Hua Mengjie, what a useless woman! If you hadn't promised me you could get peach blossoms, do you think I would have wanted to go to that Flying Immortal Sect and be looked down upon by those useless disciples!" Li Qingfeng returned and vented his anger on his cave dwelling.

That's right, he's always been labeled as a gigolo, a label given to him by the disciples of the Flying Immortal Sect. Whenever he visits the Flying Immortal Sect, the disciples look at him like he's a monkey, which he finds hard to accept.

"One day, I will make sure your Flying Immortal Sect is completely wiped out!" After venting his anger, Li Qingfeng's expression grew even colder.

The next moment, the communication stone at his waist glowed slightly, and a message entered his ear.

"You're all ready, aren't you, Li Xingchen? You always thwart my disciple's plans. This time, let's see how your master deals with you!"

After saying this, Li Qingfeng's figure gradually disappeared from the spot.

……

Hua Mengjie, on the other hand, was standing in front of Chen Xuan's cave with a flushed face, looking conflicted.

She really didn't know how to please others, but she didn't want to disappoint Li Qingfeng even more.

Finally, she took a deep breath and knocked on the door of Chen Xuan's cave.

"Elder Chen Xuan, are you... are you there?" Hua Mengjie asked softly from outside the door.

"Huh? It's Master Hua? What brings you here? Are you here to exchange for the Peach Blossom of Life?" Chen Xuan opened the door and was somewhat surprised to see Hua Mengjie standing in front of it.

"Um... um..." Hua Mengjie blushed and stammered, "Why didn't I see Elder Lin Rou?"

"You mean her? She's been in seclusion cultivating lately, and she won't be coming out anytime soon!"

"Ah? Oh, I see!"

"Yes, does Master Hua have anything else to say?"

"..."

"Lord Huashan?"

"Elder Chen Xuan, just call me Mengjie. Calling me 'Mountain Master Hua' is too formal!"

Chen Xuan's gaze began to turn strange.

"Master, what's wrong with this woman? How come she's changed so much? She wasn't like this when she was in the Joyful Union Sect!"

"Ding, retrieving..."
