Liou Yuan was truly envious, as that was a Foundation Establishment Magical Artifact, and he didn’t even know if he would have the fortune to obtain one when he reached Foundation Establishment.

However, his face still showed a disinterested look.

His mouth was full of earnest words for Qiu Ming: "Young man, you still have to rely on yourself. You must let your father know that you, Qiu Ming, are capable, only then can you stand tall before him."

At this moment, Liou Yuan’s peripheral vision inadvertently caught sight of the front end of the Sun-Controlling Gourd.

The one originally standing beside Zhao Zhuoran, who hadn’t left the side of Mr. Zhao since they boarded this gourd Magical Artifact, Zhao Feiyue, was saying something to Zhao Zhuoran.

Then she left her original position and walked directly toward the tail end of the Sun-Controlling Gourd where the Outer Sect disciples were gathered.

Initially, Liou Yuan didn’t care, just casually glanced over.

Soon he realized something was amiss.

Because Zhao Feiyue’s sharp eyes were fixed on him and Qiu Ming during her walk.

"Something’s wrong!" Liou Yuan’s eyebrows immediately furrowed, his mind swirling, recalling his experiences at Five Extremes Mountain.

He didn’t remember offending this Thunder Acupoint genius in front of him, nor did he recall having any interaction with her.

"She probably isn’t here to cause trouble; big brother never said he offended the Zhao Family."

Thinking of this, Liou Yuan’s eyebrows relaxed, and he whispered to Qiu Ming, who had been chattering non-stop beside him: "Don’t speak, she’s coming for us!"

Qiu Ming indeed fell silent, staring with eyes as big as copper bells at the approaching Zhao Feiyue.

Liou Yuan saw his hand already gripping the Yellow Jade Axe, showing his full fear of Zhao Feiyue.

Liou Yuan was about to tell Qiu Ming not to be nervous.

Zhao Feiyue had already brought a fragrant breeze and arrived in front of the two of them.

Her tall figure under a tight outfit was curvy and exquisite, eyes unblinkingly fixed on Qiu Ming and himself, her expression seemed to smile yet not.

As she got closer, Liou Yuan realized she was as tall as he was.

This made Liou Yuan have to stand up from his seated position to avoid appearing so petite.

Zhao Feiyue saw Qiu Ming’s vigilance and said gently: "Mr. Qiu, there’s no need to be tense, little sister doesn’t bite."

Her voice was as clean and swift as her temperament, her speech unhurried and composed.

"Where would I be nervous?" Qiu Ming shamelessly replied, subtly removing his hand from the Yellow Jade Axe.

Zhao Feiyue didn’t respond.

Liou Yuan saw her sharp eyes linger on Qiu Ming for a moment before quickly shifting to himself.

"This must be the rumored younger brother of Mr. Liou, Mr. Liou Yuan."

"Nice to meet you; I’m Miss Zhao Feiyue."

After the battle at Little Cyan Valley, Liou Yuan was somewhat famous on the Fifth Peak.

Plus, his good relationship with Qiu Ming was no secret.

So Liou Yuan was not surprised by Zhao Feiyue’s direct mention of his identity, he replied with a forced smile: "Miss Zhao is too courteous; I’ve long heard Qiu Ming say Miss Zhao is exceptionally talented, far surpassing other Five-Star Star Acupoints, and indeed today proves him not wrong."

Liou Yuan wasn’t sure what Zhao Feiyue was up to, but in any case, he wasn’t going to ask before she spoke.

Best to utter polite words first.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Feiyue showed no change in expression upon hearing Liou Yuan’s words, her eyes lingered on Liou Yuan’s for a moment, then frankly replied: "Mr. Qiu definitely wouldn’t say such a thing."

Qiu Ming lost face just now, quickly coughed twice, and hastily said: "I indeed didn’t say; it was Liou Yuan who made it up."

Liou Yuan’s smile froze on his face, resentfully glaring at Qiu Ming.

Others might wish to dig a hole to hide in if embarrassed like this, but Liou Yuan was indifferent, slowly replied: "Oh, then maybe I heard wrong."

"Mr. Liou is indeed interesting." Zhao Feiyue’s smile finally revealed.

Her style was not like a girl’s at all, and her voice tended toward androgyny.

If not for her obvious gender traits, Liou Yuan would have thought she was a guy.

Unlike Liou Yuan’s roundabout ways, Qiu Ming asked directly and straightforwardly with a dull voice: "Miss Zhao is usually as elusive as a dragon, it’s rare to see you taking on a task at Shoushan Tower today."

"Your Zhao Family doesn’t lack such merit points either."

"Not lacking, just out with elders to train a bit." Zhao Feiyue liked Qiu Ming’s straightforwardness, as she too spoke openly, then asked Qiu Ming and Liou Yuan: "What about Mr. Qiu and Mr. Liou?"

"We lack." Liou Yuan grinned, openly showing his desire for merit points.

"Haha, indeed." Zhao Feiyue laughed heartily.

She had heard of Liou Zhen’s affairs and knew the Snow Shattering Sword’s recent misfortune, not everyone had family support.

As Liou Zhen’s younger brother, Liou Yuan naturally wouldn’t receive much assistance.

She laughed, no longer elaborating on this matter.

Instead, she made a proposal that surprised both Liou Yuan and Qiu Ming: "Since we’re all at Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer, why not join forces, so we can look out for each other during this task?"

"I have no objection." Qiu Ming was obviously tempted.

The Thunder Acupoint’s uniqueness had already made Zhao Feiyue well-known at Five Extremes Mountain, and Qiu Ming did not doubt her strength.

But with Liou Yuan present, he couldn’t immediately agree, instead turned his head looking at Liou Yuan.

Liou Yuan, cunning, looked at the straightforward woman before him, not beating around the bush, and asked: "My and Qiu Ming’s strength isn’t significant in this task, what’s Miss Zhao interested in about us?"
