Chapter 427: Chapter 427: Meeting at Piaomiao Mountain_1

Duan Meng noticed things were looking grim, and just as he was about to stand up and draw his sword, he was stopped by He Xuan who was beside him.

"Don’t panic, listen to Brother Ye!"

Lu Houde, who sat at the same table, also had a grim expression, secretly gripping his weapon tightly.

They were very clear that the Yitian Venerate and Muxue Venerate of the Pangu Sect were indeed top-notch experts.

Even if they joined forces with the unfathomable Ye Fei, it was doubtful they had the power to fight.

What’s more, this was the core territory of the Pangu Sect, concealed with thousands upon thousands of Pangu Sect minions.

In contrast to their wariness, Ye Fei slowly picked up his wine cup, gestured towards the Yitian Venerate and Muxue Venerate who were not far away, and revealed a carefree smile.

This was both a provocation and a greeting.

To the surprise of He Xuan, Duan Meng, and Lu Houde, the other side also raised their cup in a silent, tacit response.

"What are they planning to do?"

Lu Houde furrowed his brow and lowered his voice.

"We are the guests and they are the hosts," Ye Fei took a sip of wine and said with a slight smile, "When guests visit, tea should be served as wine. We should still pay our respects to the courtesy of the landlord."

Hearing this, Lu Houde and Duan Meng exchanged bewildered looks, taken aback.

What kind of joke was this?

Now, they were deadly enemies with a deep-seated hatred towards the Pangu Sect!

Yet, in the eyes of this Brother Ye Fei, how did it become a matter of host and guest?

But just because they didn’t understand didn’t mean the young and smart He Xuan didn’t.

Not long after, the previous shopkeeper came over in a panicked state, carrying a plate of pig’s trotter hurriedly.

"Gentlemen, this is our restaurant’s signature dish ’Rendezvous at Misty Peak’. I hope the esteemed guests will enjoy it!"

Upon hearing this, Duan Meng immediately frowned and said, "We didn’t order this."

The shopkeeper gave a sound, approached with a fearful look, and whispered, "It was sent by those two at the opposite table. I... I’m just..."

"I see!" Ye Fei nodded slightly and waved his hand to dismiss the shopkeeper.

After the shopkeeper scurried away, the group then looked at the so-called ’Rendezvous at Misty Peak’ with meaningful expressions.

As he was about to use the chopsticks to pick up some food, Ye Fei was stopped by Lu Houde.

"Brother Ye, be careful of trickery!"

"Yes!" Duan Meng also stared anxiously at Ye Fei, "They are top masters of the Pangu Sect, they definitely don’t have good intentions!"

Hearing this, Ye Fei looked at He Xuan with a smile that was not quite a smile.

"Do you think so too?"

He Xuan smiled faintly, casually picked up some chopsticks, and put a piece of the pig’s trotter into his mouth.

Seeing this, Duan Meng and Lu Houde were suddenly frantic.

Just as they were about to speak up and stop them, they saw Ye Fei also grab a pig’s trotter and start eating heartily.

Crazy!

Had both the young lord and Brother Ye Fei lost their minds?

This was something sent by two of the top masters of the Pangu Sect, and they dared to eat it without checking, and if there was poison, then the Tianhai Sect would be completely doomed.

"The taste is quite good!" Ye Fei smiled and looked up at He Xuan, "What do you think?"

"Rich but not greasy." He Xuan wiped his mouth with a napkin and said with satisfaction, "Tender and delicious, worthy of being the restaurant’s signature dish."

"Shopkeeper!" Ye Fei immediately called out.

The shopkeeper, who stood not far away like a frightened bird, hurriedly rushed over.

Ye Fei, with a smile, got up and threw down a stack of money.

"This is for the meal, including for those guests at the other table!"

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly gestured, saying in a low voice, "Guests, your bill has already been settled by those at the other table."

After hearing this, a profound look flashed across Ye Fei’s handsome face.

Then, he patted the cash placed on the table and gave He Xuan and the others a mysterious smile.

"Let’s go!"

He Xuan hummed in agreement, leading a bewildered Lu Houde and Duan Meng as they hurriedly left.

Only then did the Yitian Venerate and Muxue Venerate who sat not far away exchange looks.

"He truly is a clever man!"

"At such a young age, to possess such depth of thought is indeed rare in the world."

...

Misty Mountain!

Located on the outskirts of Ping Xiang City to the east, it was a deserted place over two thousand meters high, covered with shrubs and deep forests.

The area was shrouded in miasma, roamed by wild beasts, and even those arrogant disciples of the Pangu Sect did not dare to tread lightly.

At this moment, Ye Fei, accompanied by He Xuan and several others, took more than two hours of winding and turning to reach the mountain top.

Standing on the peak, they could nearly overlook the entirety of Ping Xiang City, and the only road up the mountain was clearly visible.

"No one followed us, right?" Ye Fei suddenly asked.

"There were some at first." Duan Meng chuckled in response, "But following your orders, they were all dealt with along the way!"

"You could deal with the small fry, but not necessarily the big bosses!" Ye Fei said with a smile that was not quite a smile.

Hearing this, Duan Meng and Lu Houde both looked startled.

"Come out!" Ye Fei took a couple of steps forward, still smiling, "Whether we fight or chat, it’s time to show yourself!"

To Duan Meng and Lu Houde, it seemed as if he was talking to the air, but the implication was clear.

Just as they were baffled, a strange laughter suddenly came from the grass behind them.

"Brother Ye Fei is exceptionally perceptive and supremely intelligent, I’m impressed, truly impressed!"

Hearing this, Duan Meng and Lu Houde immediately drew their swords and positioned themselves in front of the silent He Xuan.

Then, two figures flashed out from behind, and in the blink of an eye, the Yitian Venerate and Muxue Venerate appeared.
