All beasts submit, and the peerless imperial princess is about to defy the heavens!

After organizing his thoughts briefly, Xue Feng began to recount what had just happened.

“During my fight just now, I noticed that Kuang Qian’s cultivation level seemed unstable. She is currently at the sixth level of the Golden Core stage, while I am at the seventh level. Logically speaking, there should only be a small difference between us, so she shouldn’t be this weak. But in a proper fight, she not only seems weak, but she also seems to be…”

"what?"

Why are you hesitating and stammering?

Xue Feng hesitated for a moment, then said, "I don't know if my guess is right, but I feel like she might have used some kind of unorthodox cultivation method."

"Not quite the orthodox path? So you mean the heretical path?"

Xue Feng nodded. "If my feeling is correct, that should be the case."

Feng Ning did not doubt what he said. Xue Feng must have his reasons for saying that. Kuang Qian must have a problem, but Xue Feng had never seen anyone like her before, so he was not sure.

But that doesn't mean this thing doesn't exist.

"Could it be that he has practiced some kind of shady cultivation technique?"

Xue Feng immediately shook his head. "No, if there were something wrong with her technique, it would be obvious from the moves she used. But I feel that her foundation is unstable, and there are signs that she is about to suffer a qi deviation."

"Foundation?"

“Yes, we normally cultivate step by step, from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core, rising one level at a time. But she doesn’t seem to be like that. It’s as if her cultivation was stolen. Anyway, it’s strange, and I can’t quite put my finger on it.”

Feng Ning was completely confused by what she heard, so she simply stopped thinking about it.

"Never mind, we can't figure it out just by thinking about it if we haven't seen her. Let's investigate properly next time we encounter her."

Xue Feng thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps we don't need to wait to see her again."

As he spoke, his gaze fell upon Teng Rou, who was sitting to the side.

Feng Ning immediately understood, "You mean... Senior Sister knows?"

"If there is one person in this world that Kuang Qian hates the most, it is her senior sister."

Afterwards, Xue Feng explained some lesser-known facts to her.

For example, Kuang Qian was inferior to her senior sister in every way, so she regarded her as a rival.

For example, she could only use her status to intimidate others, but she never expected that her senior sister had the support of the Tianxuan Sect.

For example, whenever people talk about the two of them, both being wood spirit roots and both sword cultivators, Kuang Qian can never beat her senior sister.

Moreover, Kuang Qian possessed a mutated wood spirit root, making her still a defeated opponent of her senior sister.

Over the years, every provocation I've had has ended in failure, which has only made me hate them more.

Teng Rou didn't take her seriously either, and every time she provoked her, she would just fight back.

But from some point onward, when Teng Rou looked at Kuang Qian, her eyes were filled with disgust.

From that time on, whenever Kuang Qian dared to provoke her, she would be beaten until she couldn't get up anymore.

After this happened a few times, she no longer dared to approach her senior sister.

But hearing the insults behind her, she still couldn't swallow her anger.

She secretly hired someone to deal with the senior sister, but unexpectedly, the senior sister discovered her intentions.

He and his fellow disciples beat up those people and threw them all at the entrance of the Liuyue Sect.

In the end, Kuang Qian made a vow to Heaven that she would never use any means to deal with Teng Rou, and only then did the matter drop.

But after this incident, she never dared to approach her senior sister again.

Teng Rou had enjoyed a few years of peaceful life.

It was only a few years ago, and they all know about it.

Teng Rou's rise to fame was a testament to this, making everyone afraid to disrespect her anymore, and allowing her to properly secure her position as the senior disciple of the Tianxuan Sect.

Of course, disciples of Zhulongyuan and elite disciples do not participate in these rankings.

Feng Ning exclaimed with deep emotion, "Senior Sister is truly amazing!"

As they were talking, they suddenly felt a chill down their spines.

Turning around, they saw Teng Rou looking at them with a half-smile.

"Did you enjoy the chat?"

Xue Feng immediately sat up straighter, and Feng Ning also looked at Teng Rou with a serious expression, forcing a smile.

She casually dispelled the formation and said with a smile, "Senior Sister, is there anything you need to tell me?"

Teng Rou glanced at them and said, "Get ready, it's time to go."

The two immediately got up and followed them eagerly.

On the way, Teng Rou approached Feng Ning and said in a low voice, "If you want to know about Kuang Qian, you can just ask me directly. Why bother asking that idiot?"

Feng Ning's lips twitched, and she asked casually, "If I ask, will you tell me?"

Teng Rou shrugged. "How do you know if I'm willing if you haven't even asked?"

Feng Ning was speechless. It was as if you could speak just because I opened my mouth.

She continued walking forward without answering her question.

Teng Rou followed her again, looking like she wanted to have a good chat with her about life.

Aren't you going to ask me?

Feng Ning's eyes darted around, and she stopped in her tracks. "Senior Sister, if I ask, are you really willing to tell me?"

A slight smile appeared on Teng Rou's usually expressionless face. "Give it a try."

"Senior sister, you may not know this, but my attitude towards enemies has always been to eliminate them completely. No matter what Kuang Qian's situation is or what tricks she has up her sleeve, she is an enemy in my eyes. Given the chance, I will kill her."

Then, she gave an innocent smile, "So whether I know those things or not is not important. You don't need to use this to test me."

She approached Teng Rou step by step until she was only half a step away.

"Or perhaps... what does Senior Sister want from me that makes her willing to do me this favor?"

Teng Rou looked at her face for a while and made sure that she didn't mean anything else besides her smile and question.

She looked away and walked forward.

"You're wrong. You don't have what I want on you."

Feng Ning's smile remained unchanged. "That's good. It's better for the relationship between us, as fellow disciples, to remain pure. If it involves interests or grudges, then it will be difficult to resolve."

Teng Rou chuckled softly, "Will you treat me the same way you would an enemy?"

Feng Ning listened to her words but did not reply for a long time.

Will you be my enemy?

However, Teng Rou didn't expect an answer from her. After speaking, she left on her own.

After that, they encountered several other groups of people and had some friction with them. They were all vying for resources, so there was no need to show mercy.

They took action without hesitation, overcoming all obstacles along the way, and reaped considerable rewards.

When she encountered another team, Feng Ning's smile returned.

They are all familiar old friends.
