Lin Feng turned and strode out of the square; his mind was filled with many insights that needed careful reflection.

In the Heavenly Vault World, where was there ever an opportunity like today to listen to a powerful mentor teach! Now, his whole perspective had broadened.

Since only Lin Feng was leaving the square, Mu Li noticed him immediately and couldn’t help but frown slightly.

She had come here to teach, yet Lin Feng was leaving, clearly disrespecting her.

However, she didn’t make things difficult for Lin Feng; after all, whether to listen to the lecture was every disciple’s freedom, and she had no right to demand that they attend.

Moreover, in her eyes, Lin Feng had even refused Huo Yuan, clearly an unreasonable person.

"No need for formality, everyone!" Mu Li gently waved her sleeve, indicating that the crowd should relax.

Yet, although Mu Li didn’t blame Lin Feng, someone else was looking for trouble with him.

"Stop right there!"

A sudden shout reverberated through the whole square, as a young man in purple at the front turned and glared at Lin Feng, commanding coldly, "Who told you to leave? Come back!"

Lin Feng heard this and frowned, halting his steps and turning to look at the voice.

This was a handsome young man, with fine features and fair skin, dressed in lavish purple clothes, resembling a graceful young noble.

Lin Feng’s gaze met the purple-clad youth’s, a sharp look flashing in his eyes.

This person was strong; Lin Feng couldn’t gauge his cultivation, but he could sense the youth had at least reached the Martial Emperor Realm’s Fifth or even Sixth Layer.

"I told you to come back, did you not hear?" The youth spoke again, coldly commanding with an imposing, overbearing tone that brooked no refusal.

Many of the other disciples on the square looked at Lin Feng with mocking expressions.

This kid had offended the wrong person; it seemed trouble was inevitable today!

Lin Feng heard this, his eyebrows furrowing and eyes narrowing slightly, filled with a chilling intent to kill, yet wary of the other’s strength.

"Taishi Xuan, what are you trying to do?"

At this moment, Mu Li spoke up, fixing her icy gaze on the youth, her voice exceptionally cold.

The youth heard Mu Li and turned to look at her, his expression returning to normal as he chuckled lightly, "Mu Li, this person dares disrespect you, I really can’t stand it, and I need to teach him a lesson!"

"Don’t cause trouble; let him go!" Mu Li shook her head.

In her heart, she was very frustrated; this Taishi Xuan, relying on his background, was reckless and unruly at the Divine Martial Academy.

More importantly, he pestered her incessantly, showing unusual care.

"Mu Li, I’m not causing trouble!"

The purple-clad youth, Taishi Xuan, shook his head, continuing, "Your presence to teach here is an honor for our South Garden. If he doesn’t want to come, that’s one thing, but to arrive and then leave is simply an insult to you!"

At this point, Taishi Xuan turned to stare at Lin Feng, speaking coldly, "Insulting Mu Li is the same as insulting me, Taishi Xuan. Without a lesson, he won’t learn!"

Taishi Xuan’s gaze, sharp as icy blades, continuously cut into Lin Feng’s body, incredibly fierce.

"Then you’d better have the ability to do it!" Lin Feng said calmly, though he had no confidence in defeating the youth, he wouldn’t swallow his anger and weaken his stance.

He didn’t want to provoke trouble, but he wasn’t afraid of it either!

"Oh! You’re pretty tough!"

Taishi Xuan saw Lin Feng dare talk back and raised his eyebrows, intrigued. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

In this South Garden, few dared confront him, but this unfamiliar disciple dared defy him, showing real guts.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Immediately, Taishi Xuan stepped towards Lin Feng, dark power emanating from him as if preparing to strike.

"Let me see how you can be so arrogant!" Taishi Xuan’s eyes glinted, spoke mockingly.

Seeing this, Lin Feng immediately grew alert, activating the five Divine Pills within him, ready to act at any moment.

"Stop!" Mu Li’s face turned icy cold, suddenly shouting, as a powerful Venerable coercion spread across the scene.

The overwhelming power was terrifying, like mountains and seas, surging endlessly.

In an instant, everyone felt their bodies heavy, as if gravity had increased a thousandfold, binding them motionless.

Mu Li was angry, Taishi Xuan had outraged her.

The other’s tyrannical behavior filled her with annoyance, and if it were someone else, she’d have acted already.

Then, Mu Li coldly warned, "Taishi Xuan, he is someone valued by Huo Yuan, don’t mess around!"

She invoked Huo Yuan’s name to intimidate Taishi Xuan.

Taishi Xuan’s status was so high that even she couldn’t deal with him; she could only use Huo Yuan’s name to pacify him and avoid further trouble.

As for Lin Feng, he was indeed valued by Huo Yuan, and Mu Li couldn’t let anything happen to him.

"Huo Yuan?" Taishi Xuan was suppressed by the mighty Venerable pressure, immediately stopping his steps, appearing stunned at the mention.

Then, Taishi Xuan glanced over Lin Feng with suspicion, realization dawning on his face, "No wonder you’re unfamiliar. Are you the one who refused to become Huo Yuan’s disciple?"

"So it’s him!"

"I thought he was someone else? Turns out it’s this kid!"

"Is his Artifact Refining Talent really that great?"

"Truly brainless!"

The other disciples on the square, hearing this, also realized with surprise, each casting curious looks at Lin Feng.

The matter of Huo Yuan wanting to teach Lin Feng Artifact Refining Technique had spread, mistakenly turning into Huo Yuan wanting to take him as an apprentice!
