My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

Chapter 281 Excessive Provocation

"Elder! Elder!"

"Please don't leave! I'm not joking, I'm serious... I understand the meaning of elder's training, and I can definitely endure it!"

Gu Lan turned away, pretending not to hear Chen Feng's call.

He feared he might not be able to restrain himself and continue to beat up this fellow.

And if even a bit of his power leaked out, Destiny Boy, used for Destiny cultivation, would probably be sent away today...

Ah, what a pity.

His personal involvement couldn't enhance Destiny.

It's truly regrettable... Gu Lan shook his head gently.

"Such a shame!"

"It must be because of my earlier fuss that the elder thought I was a softy and misunderstood me... I could still endure more training."

Behind him, Chen Feng also shook his head.

Since the elder was unwilling at the moment, he had no choice.

The bottleneck had loosened, and breakthrough was a matter of course, not to rush.

Advancing in cultivation was one aspect, tempering one's character was another; one couldn't neglect either.

Wait a moment!

"Could it be that I was too hasty just now, making the elder feel that my character is insufficient, and it's no longer suitable for him to train me?"

"The elder is using action to tell me that mindset is the foundation of cultivation... Haha, silence here speaks louder than words, truly worthy of being the only revered elder of the Tianji Pavilion!"

Chen Feng looked at Gu Lan's back and felt that his figure had never appeared so tall before.

To have such a senior planning for oneself in life is truly fortunate!@@@@

I must firmly grasp onto the elder's thigh, no matter what!

And not let the elder down!

...

A moment later.

Outside the Forbidden Mountain Range.

In the Star Picking Pavilion, a group of modestly dressed cultivators smiled and bowed incessantly to a handsome scholar-like cultivator, showing great respect to the King Stage cultivator behind him.

The two were Gu Lan and Chen Feng.

The head of the Star Picking Pavilion was an old man, whose strength was almost at the peak of the Immortal Stage.

"Young one, Ling Xuzi, pays respects to the elder."

"I am the current head of the Star Picking Pavilion. If the elder needs anything, as long as the Star Picking Pavilion can fulfill it, we will do our best to satisfy you."

Ling Xuzi behaved very politely and respectfully.

Before him stood not only a cultivator in the early stages of the Saint Stage but also a cultivator of the Confucian Dao!

Suddenly, Gu Lan heard something, and his gaze slowly fell outside the door. It seemed an unexpected visitor had arrived uninvited...

If the Star Picking Pavilion didn't have energy crystals, then these local sects must have them, right? Ling Xuzi was unaware of Gu Lan's thoughts and continued to explain, thinking he was dissatisfied.

"The junior has already submitted an application to the main hall. If the elder is not in a hurry, wait a few days, and the energy crystals will be delivered, then..."

Ling Xuzi's words were cut short as a sudden surge of spiritual power came from outside the door.

Boom!

The next moment, a figure flew backward, crashing through the doors of the Star Picking Pavilion. The figure was one of the reception disciples of the Star Picking Pavilion.

"Lord, it's those people from the nearby sects, they..."

He fell to the ground, blood flowing from his mouth, and before he could finish his sentence, he fainted.

Ling Xuzi quickly helped him up.

"Unforgivable! This is truly unforgivable!"

He angrily administered medicine to his disciple while glaring at the door.

At this moment, a group of cultivators from various local powers in the Forbidden Mountain Range slowly entered the Star Picking Pavilion.

"Hu San! Do you know what you're doing? How dare you openly attack our Star Picking Pavilion! Who gave you the courage!"

Seeing the newcomer, Ling Xuzi's face flushed with anger.

If he didn't consider the safety of his disciples, he would have rushed forward to confront them immediately.

"Ling Xuzi, last month you were supposed to hand over the cultivation resources, why haven't you done so yet?"

"You're doing business in our Forbidden Mountain Range. You have to abide by the rules of our Forbidden Mountain Range."

"If you don't follow the rules, don't blame us for being unreasonable!"

The leader, also at the peak of the Immortal Stage, clad in heavy armor and wielding a rune-covered treasure hammer, looked arrogantly at everyone present.

He glanced at Gu Lan and Chen Feng: "This is a grudge between us and the Star Picking Pavilion. Outsiders should leave quickly, otherwise... if there's any accidental injury..."

With a cold snort, he gently lowered the hammer in his hand.

Boom!

With a loud noise, a large pit was smashed into the ground of the Star Picking Pavilion.

Gu Lan lightly shook his fan.

Indeed, the energy crystals had been delivered!

Chen Feng was so enraged by his words that his nostrils flared, gritting his teeth: "Elder, these people are going too far, they simply don't regard us..."

"Do you want to take action?"

"If you don't, then I..."

"Sure, you go ahead."

Gu Lan raised his chin slightly, responding calmly.

"... "
