Today, upon seeing Shi Feiyang with his straight and towering figure like a pine tree, eyes deep as an abyss, and a gentle smile akin to spring, she couldn't help but feel her heart flutter as if a little deer were joyously prancing inside it.

Unconsciously, her hands clenched her clothes tightly, her knuckles slightly whitening from the force, as she thought to herself: In these tumultuous times, meeting a man both heroically invincible and exceptionally handsome is truly Heaven's favor upon me. Shi Feiyang is precisely the legendary hero I've always admired and yearned for in my heart.

The Dangxin Leader stood robust and strong, like a towering mountain peak, exuding a commanding presence.

He strode confidently to the table, his hand effortlessly lifting a jar of fine wine, which seemed weightless in his grip.

He raised the wine jar high and said in a voice like a resonant bell: "Today, Hero Shi has traversed thousands of miles, crossing mountains and rivers to visit us, and it is truly our greatest honor! Come, everyone, for Hero Shi's gracious arrival, let's drink this bowl of fine wine, wishing him all the best during his stay with us, like an eagle soaring freely across the prairie skies!"

With that, he tilted his head back and downed the wine in one swift and bold motion, fully displaying the hearty spirit of a man from the steppes.

The crowd echoed his sentiments, raising their cups and drinking deeply.

In that moment, the fragrance of wine filled the tent, and the atmosphere was incredibly lively, as if the enthusiasm of those present might lift the tent itself.

Shi Feiyang stood up, his stature straight as a pine, and following the hearty and straightforward etiquette of the prairies, he clasped his fists and said in a clear voice: "I am deeply grateful for the leader's generous hospitality, which I shall remember always. If ever there is a need for my assistance, I will certainly give my all, and not disappoint the leader's kindness. The Heroic Sakura Association has always taken up the cause of chivalry, and hopes to join hands with your tribe to create peace."

However, amid the gathering, Shi Feiyang's gaze was sharp, like the brightest star in the night sky, and he keenly sensed something unusual among the tribe members.

Though everyone wore smiles, there was a faint undercurrent of unease beneath those smiles, like hidden swells under a calm lake, ready to stir up storms at any moment. Xie Wen subtly leaned closer to Shi Feiyang and lowered his voice, as if fearing others might hear, saying: "Grand Squad Leader, in my view, there seems to be a hidden agenda within this tribe, with undercurrents flowing that may conceal mysteries. We must not underestimate it. We are in a foreign land and must be cautious at every turn."

Shi Feiyang nodded slightly, a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes, like cold stars in the night sky, as he cautiously examined his surroundings, leaving no corner unchecked.

At this moment, a wrestler as burly and robust as an ancient behemoth suddenly stood up. He was over eight feet tall, with muscles bulging like rocks, hard as iron, resembling a towering hill that emanated an intimidating presence. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

His face was stern and resolute, his eyes revealing unyielding determination and a hint of challenge. He clasped his fists and said in a loud voice: "Hero Shi, I have long admired your unparalleled martial arts and worldwide fame. Though my skills are crude and unrefined, I also yearn to spar with you to broaden my horizons. I hope you will not hesitate to give me some pointers! It would be my honor to receive guidance from such a great hero."

Shi Feiyang smiled, with a warmth like the sun in spring, standing calmly and replied: "Since you have such refined interest, I shall gladly accompany you. However, let's exercise restraint, using martial arts to make friends, and avoid harming our amicable relations. The Jianghu is full of strife, and such opportunities for mutual exchange are indeed precious."
