Chapter 10: Is This Even Possible?

After Feng Xi wiped the blood off her face with a handkerchief, she leisurely stepped out of the room.

Upon opening the courtyard gate, she saw a handsome young man standing there.

He wore pristine white robes without a single crease, his hair tied high with a jade-green ribbon. His phoenix-shaped eyes were filled with anger as he glared at Feng Xi.

The young man scrutinized her for a moment, his anger now mixed with disdain.

“So you’re that useless Feng Xi? Do you know Master is risking his life hunting ice-elemental beasts in the Extreme Cold Icefield just to patch up your flaws? If anything happens to Master, you and I will have a reckoning!”

Feng Xi was taken aback. No wonder Xiao Baidao said he would find a way—he was planning to take the risk of hunting ice beasts.

The Extreme Cold Icefield was not only brutally cold but fraught with danger. Even a Golden Core cultivator was lucky to survive.

While Feng Xi was stunned, the young man continued:

“I really don’t understand why Master took in such an ugly, useless brat like you! Since you’ve somehow lucked into being my senior apprentice sister in Jun Wen’s sect, you should behave yourself. What are you doing in the library? Are you just looking to cause trouble? If you stir up any more nonsense, I won’t spare you!”

With that, the young man turned and began to leave.

After a few steps, he came back and handed Feng Xi a shiny green fruit.

“Here, little waste, a gift for you.”

Feng Xi smiled sweetly. “Thank you, Fifth Senior Brother.”

The young man snorted coldly.

“Don’t call me senior brother. I haven’t acknowledged a useless burden like you! Oh, and in a month, the Tianhen Secret Realm will open. All the major sects in the Northern Region will go. I warn you to stay put in the sect and don’t embarrass yourself!”

He left without waiting for a response.

Feng Xi watched his retreating figure. This was Jun Wen’s fifth disciple, Xiao Baidao, a prodigy of the sword.

He was arrogant but soft-hearted, had a mild cleanliness obsession, and judged people by their looks.

Tsk, tsk, quite the character—and blind! How dare he call her ugly?

Her appearance, though not exactly breathtaking due to her damaged dantian and frail constitution, was hardly unattractive. Once she recovered, she would be a true beauty.

But then again, if he weren’t blind, he wouldn’t be interested in Shen Zhi Lan.

In the story, Jun Wen fell in love at first sight with the female lead Shen Zhi Lan, becoming obsessed and reckless for her.

In the end, while gathering spiritual herbs for her, he was tainted by demonic energy and was beheaded by the female lead, his body discarded at the Demon Severing Cliff, leaving no remains.

A pitiful sycophant who ended up with nothing.

Feng Xi pondered briefly and approached Xiao Baidao.

“Master, I heard from Fifth Senior Brother that you plan to hunt ice beasts in the Extreme Cold Icefield?”

Xiao Baidao frowned. “Don’t listen to his nonsense. That’s not true.”

He cursed silently—his fifth disciple had a small mind andI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
