The few disciples felt their bodies lighten instantly, scrambling and rolling out of the crowd, almost using all their speed to vanish from sight.

After all this, Bai Yumo exhaled a cold breath. She turned to Bai Feng, a smile returning to her face. “Brother, the problem is solved. Let’s go back.”

Seeing Bai Yumo’s swift change of expression, Bai Feng couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Her mood swings are a bit too quick, aren’t they?

He never expected his sister to have such a terrifying side; it felt like he was getting to know her all over again.

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for using the strategy of 'driving away the tiger to catch the wolf' to scare off the luck child’s minions. Reward: 30 luck points, cultivation speed +3.】

Upon seeing the system notification, Bai Feng’s eyes narrowed.

It wasn’t just the luck points that caught his attention, but the phrase “the luck child’s minions.”

He had thought he was merely dealing with an extreme disciple, but it seemed he had attracted the ire of a luck child!

It made sense; if it were just an ordinary extreme disciple, how would they know about his late-night stroll with Bai Yumo? Who had told them?

‘What a hassle, to be targeted by a luck child so soon.’

It seemed best to stay indoors for the next few days, waiting for the sect leader’s arrangements on Qingzhu Peak.

…

“I understand. You can leave now.”

A tall man toyed with the teacup in his hand, nodding slightly before dismissing the disciple in front of him.

If Bai Feng were present, he would recognize this disciple as the one who had previously slandered him, claiming he had pressured Bai Yumo.

Once the Golden Core disciple left, the man turned to another man standing beside him. “Junior brother, it seems your observations aren’t thorough enough. You couldn’t even tell whether Bai Shimei was injured or poisoned by the Bai family.”

His voice was cold, and suddenly, he unleashed a powerful aura, sending the nearest man flying into the wall.

If Bai Feng were there, he would realize that this man was none other than Chen Shixiong, with whom he had clashed before.

The man coughed up blood, clutching his chest, fear and panic etched on his face. “Senior brother, I… I didn’t mean to…”

“Shut up. I’m not interested in your explanations.”

His eyes narrowed, cutting him off, but then his gaze softened as he reached into his storage bag and tossed a bottle of pills to him. “Here, take this and rest.”

“Thank you, Senior Brother.” The man quickly accepted the pills and swallowed them, his pale complexion improving slightly. “Senior Brother, does this mean we’re letting this go?”

“Letting it go? Not a chance.” He chuckled lightly, but there was no trace of humor in his eyes. “Since Bai Feng dares to approach Bai Shimei, he must die.”

Others might not understand, but as a member of the Ye family, he was privy to some of the Bai family’s secrets. Bai Yumo had no blood ties to the Bai family, and Bai Feng’s actions had undoubtedly touched his sore spot.

In his eyes, only he was worthy to be Bai Shimei’s Dao partner.

However, Bai Feng was indeed a threat. He believed Bai Feng had taken advantage of Bai Yumo’s youthful naivety, and he didn’t trust the Bai family’s explanations regarding the matter of digging bones.

The allure of the immortal bone was something even he found hard to resist, let alone a mediocre young master from the Bai family.

As a member of a prominent family himself, he understood how much disdain disciples of average talent faced in such families; their thirst for power surpassed everything else.

**Chapter 24: The Luck Child Radar Reacts Again**

“Ah, I just want to lie in bed and rot away…”

Bai Feng flopped onto his bed like a salted fish, bouncing slightly.

Now back on Qingzhu Peak, after everything that had happened today, his social energy was nearly depleted.

But he couldn’t afford to rest just yet; he needed to find a way to guard against that inexplicably fixated luck child.

Was there a way to prevent the luck child from taking action without having to gain luck points?

To that end, Bai Feng had to think:

First, this luck child was different from those he had encountered before; this was the first one to actively provoke him.

But the method was indeed a bit underhanded.

Then again, aside from someone like Lin Yan, a righteous luck child, there were certainly selfish ones, even those who were no different from villains, like a certain San.

Though he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he suspected that this new luck child was most likely a selfish type.

Such luck children were undoubtedly more difficult to deal with because they had no morals or bottom lines.

However, all of this was still speculation. He hoped he was wrong; perhaps the new luck child was someone similar to Lin Yan.

“First, I need to set up some self-protection measures.”

For instance, laying down several layers of formations, especially after being robbed by the demoness, his sense of security at home had significantly decreased.

If this new luck child was as unscrupulous as the demoness, they might really sneak into his home to cause trouble.

Although he was currently just temporarily residing on Qingzhu Peak, he couldn’t let the fear of waste deter him; he had learned his lesson from the demoness.

So, Bai Feng took out a smooth jade stone and placed it on the table, then continuously pulled out new materials.

“Set up a killing formation? No, that’s too conspicuous. I’ll layer a confinement formation and an illusion formation outside, then disguise it with a spirit gathering formation.”

Bai Feng toyed with the materials in his hands, pondering as he began to set up the formations.

…

In the following days, Bai Feng stayed cooped up in his room reading books, occasionally going to the library with Bai Yumo to borrow a few books on formations.

It must be said that the foundation of Tianjian Sect was indeed much deeper than that of the Bai family. He had thought the Bai family had a lot of formation books, but they paled in comparison to Tianjian Sect.

Moreover, the rewards from the system only included the most basic formations; to learn other formations, he had to seek them out himself.

“Yawn~~ I wonder when the sect leader and the others will finish their discussions.”

Bai Feng put down his book and stretched. He had thought he would only stay on Qingzhu Peak for two or three days, but it had almost been a week with no conclusion.

If it weren’t for the fact that he could borrow books from the library for free, he would feel like he had been forgotten by Tianjian Sect.

Meanwhile, in a small room where the sect leader and the peak masters of Tianjian Sect were meeting, a chaotic debate was unfolding.

A burly bald man rubbed his smooth forehead. “I believe Bai Feng should enter the Body Refining Peak!”

“Pfft! Shameless! You’re a body cultivator, and you want to snatch a formation genius? Are you planning to carve formations on your own body?”

“Why not! Maybe Bai Feng can create a new school of thought at our Body Refining Peak!”

“I remember Bai Feng has some talent in talismans; why not let him enter the Talisman Peak?”

“Why waste a more talented formation genius on your silly talismans?”

“Since the Body Refining Peak thinks they can handle it, I believe our Pill Peak can too. Who knows, we might create a new school of thought for pills inscribed with formations.” An old man stroked his beard, chuckling.

“Well, our Artifact Refining Peak has something to say too.”

“Shut up, all of you! Stop leading others astray!” A serious-looking middle-aged man frowned. “In my opinion, he should enter our Divine Sword Peak; sword formations are also a type of formation.”

“Hah, then Bai Feng should enter the main peak, Tianjian Peak. Can you outplay the Tianjian Peak in swordplay?”

“Don’t try to sow discord between me and my senior brother. Our Divine Sword Peak and Tianjian Peak complement each other; neither can be missing! Entering our Divine Sword Peak still allows him to enjoy the benefits of Tianjian Peak!”

“I think we should just have a match; whoever wins gets to decide where Bai Feng goes!”

The bald man cracked his neck, already tired of this endless ‘discussion’ that seemed to go on forever. At this rate, they might not reach a conclusion for a year.

Another person shook his head. “I think we should respect the disciple’s opinion and ask Bai Feng where he wants to go.”

Elder Chu Ningyan from Qingzhu Peak looked at the sect leader, who had been silent, with a somewhat helpless expression. “Sect Leader, do you have any plans?”

The sect leader stroked his beard and shook his head. “I’ve been paying attention to Bai Feng’s situation these past few days. His talent in formations is truly terrifying, and he’s incredibly diligent, spending all his time in his room reading formation-related books. I’m afraid none of us here can teach him anything.”

At this point, the sect leader couldn’t help but sigh.

As the foremost sect in the Northern Region, Tianjian Sect was powerful in sword techniques, body refinement, alchemy, artifact refining, and talismans, but they were sorely lacking in formations.
