Moreover, he was the only male in the group.

Li Ming felt a fire burning in his heart, not just because of Gu Yueqing's clothes, but also due to the unpleasant aura radiating from this person. Just looking at him was enough to make Li Ming want to curse him out and throw a punch.

The combination of these feelings nearly ignited the anger within him.

“What did you do to Senior Sister Gu?”

He drew his longbow, but before he could aim, two figures moved faster than him.

“Stop!”

“Don’t move!”

Bai Yumo and Yu Yao rushed forward, their swords—one high, one low—pointed at Li Ming's neck.

Even Su Lanqian stepped forward, quickly positioning herself behind Bai Feng.

Bai Feng looked at Li Ming, not offering an explanation. Instead, he pulled Su Lanqian back a step. “Senior Sister Gu, if I explain, he probably won’t listen. Could you help clarify?”

**Chapter 103: So, the Children of Fortune Attract Each Other, Right?**

Bai Feng knew that trying to explain now would only escalate the tension. It was better to let the parties involved handle it; he hoped this Child of Fortune would be receptive.

Seeing that Li Ming had no intention of attacking, Bai Yumo and Yu Yao sheathed their swords and quickly retreated to stand behind Gu Yueqing, just like Bai Feng.

Li Ming shot a fierce glare at Bai Feng before turning to Gu Yueqing, who was wearing Bai Feng's robe. He spoke softly, “Senior Sister Gu, feel free to speak. I won’t let them do as they please with you.”

“No, no,” Gu Yueqing quickly waved her hands, her mind racing. “We were just practicing techniques in the training ground when a little accident happened.”

She didn’t mention the portable array disk, as she had promised to keep it a secret. She hadn’t even told her mother, let alone a junior she had only met once.

“Senior Sister, they’re from the Tianjian Sect, right?”

Li Ming didn’t quite believe her. How could a practice session lead to this? How could they ruin clothes while practicing? Even if they accidentally destroyed her clothes, why was she wearing a man’s outfit?

Especially with so many female companions around him, he figured he was dealing with a lecherous scion.

He had heard that the Tianjian Sect was quite powerful, and he assumed that Senior Sister Gu was afraid of offending them, which was why she was forced to explain. So he continued, “Senior Sister, running away won’t solve anything; it will only make them bolder!”

Gu Yueqing: “Huh?”

Wait, Junior Brother, what are you talking about? I’m starting to not understand you!

Bai Feng felt a strong sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen this scene before.

Oh right, it was when he had just joined the Tianjian Sect.

But last time, it was Ye Tang sending his minions to stir trouble; this time, it was a chance encounter with a Child of Fortune.

Damn it, why did this Child of Fortune have to show up at such a convenient time?

At that moment, Gu Yueqing continued shaking her head, trying to explain, “Junior Brother, you’re misunderstanding. We were really just practicing. You know these things aren’t absolutely safe; accidents happen all the time.”

“Senior Sister…”

Li Ming clenched his fists, suspecting that the elders of the Tianjian Sect lived nearby, which was why she didn’t dare show her dissatisfaction.

If that’s the case, then he would help Gu Yueqing teach this guy a lesson.

So he turned to Bai Feng, “Since that’s the case, I’m quite confident in my abilities. How about we have a spar?”

‘That’s a pretty abrupt change of tone!’

Bai Feng couldn’t help but mentally scoff.

He didn’t want to fight a Child of Fortune; whether he won or lost, it would be disgusting.

So he waved his hand to refuse, “Sorry, I specialize in formations, not sparring. If you want to discuss formations, I’d be happy to oblige. Also, think about it—this isn’t a private place. Even if what you think happened did happen, do you really think City Lord Gu wouldn’t notice?”

Li Ming sneered. Wasn’t it just selling out his daughter for more benefits? He had seen this kind of thing before.

He continued, “So you’re saying you’re scared?”

‘Tsk, this Child of Fortune really doesn’t listen!’

But before Bai Feng could refuse again, a voice suddenly came from nearby, “Didn’t you hear what Brother Bai said? He doesn’t spar. If you want to fight, I’m up for it.”

In the next moment, Lin Yan landed in front of Bai Feng, a confident smile on his face. “Brother Bai, leave it to me! Let me teach this rude guy a lesson!”

Bai Feng: “…”

Another Child of Fortune? Do these guys attract each other or what?

“Who are you?”

Li Ming narrowed his eyes, surprised that this guy had so many lackeys.

“Remember, I’m Lin Yan,” he said, igniting his fiery fists. “Next time, think before you speak. There are so many rumors in this world because of people like you who just make things up! And I can’t stand rumor-mongers like you!”

‘So you’ve been eavesdropping for a while, huh?’

“Ha! A bunch of people turning black into white!” Li Ming shot back, nocking an arrow on his longbow and aiming it at Lin Yan. “Once I deal with you, I’ll go settle things with that guy.”

‘What’s there to settle? Can’t this Child of Fortune think for a moment?’

Surely, this Child of Fortune wasn’t the type without a brain?

Bai Feng could already imagine the smug look on the system’s face. No matter who won or lost between these two, he was bound to lose!

He silently turned to the bewildered Gu Yueqing. “Senior Sister Gu, can you stop them?”

“I don’t think I can. Although I haven’t interacted much with Junior Brother Li, I’ve heard about his temper. He’s very confident in himself, and even when facing criticism from other disciples or elders, he sticks to his views. I’ve even heard he often argues back at the elders.”

Gu Yueqing forced a smile, but she stepped forward, trying to mediate. “Junior Brother Li, stop! This is a misunderstanding. You two shouldn’t fight!”

But it seemed the two of them didn’t hear her at all, continuing to clash.

She wanted to intervene, but was blocked by an arrow and a burst of flames.

“Senior Sister Gu, once I deal with this guy, I’ll get you justice!”

“Don’t intervene! A guy who doesn’t listen should just be taught a lesson!”

Bai Feng watched the two already engaged in battle, feeling a headache coming on. Children of Fortune were like hedgehogs, impossible to approach. If he intervened now, he’d just end up pricked all over, and the system would definitely take the opportunity to shove more luck points his way.

After thinking for a few seconds, he turned to Yu Yao. “Should I go find City Lord Gu for help?”

Yu Yao shook her head. “With such a commotion, I’m sure our master and City Lord Gu already know. But since they haven’t shown up, they’re probably just watching the show.”

“…”

“City Lord Gu, aren’t you going to step in and stop them?”

Chu Ningyan sat in a small pavilion, sipping tea delicately.

“Let’s wait a bit longer,” City Lord Gu shook her head. “Young people tend to be hot-headed, especially when they’re in the heat of the moment. No matter what you say now, they won’t listen. It’s better to wait until they’re done.”

“That’s tough!” Liu Meng wasn’t optimistic about City Lord Gu’s approach. “They’re all proud individuals; even after a fight, they’ll probably still refuse to back down.”

“What can we do? Should I say my daughter accidentally blew up her clothes while practicing formations? If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe it myself.”

City Lord Gu sighed; it was hard for her too!

Chu Ningyan set down her teacup. “The Tianjian Sect can compensate for this incident.”

“No, I’m not complaining,” City Lord Gu quickly waved her hands. “Let the young ones handle their own matters. We just need to ensure it doesn’t escalate too much.”

“But this kind of handling often leads to bigger problems. I suggest we intervene sooner rather than later.”

Liu Meng shook her head. Having navigated the world of loose cultivators for many years, she had seen too many situations like this. If it were two ordinary cultivators, it would be fine; a stronger cultivator could mediate, and it would be resolved. The most troublesome were these proud geniuses; even she didn’t have a good way to handle them.

“Ugh, this is giving me a headache!” City Lord Gu rubbed her temples. “Fine, let’s do as Master Liu suggests and go take a look.”

Lin Yan was engulfed in flames, like a god of fire in the world. But upon closer inspection, one would notice numerous wounds on his body; the blood that dripped down was instantly evaporated by the flames.
