Why did it look like Fairy Chu Yuechan was angry at Fen Moli for attacking a junior? That junior had nothing to do with her...

Those were the most frequent questions people were asking in their minds. But one more shocking fact was that even Chu Yueli joined in despite being weaker than Fen Moli.

'...She is only making this worse by "helping" me...Although I appreciate her intentions but having two indifferent and cold beauties protecting me is making me perhaps even more famous than this entire tournament, in a wrong sense. I would have been able to deal with someone half-step at Emperor Profound Realm relatively easily but that might truly garner more than just attention from that Ling Kun of the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region. Still, I never said that dealing with him would be impossible...' Meng thought as his eyes were darting around, observing everyone's reactions with a tranquil expression.

Actually, the 5th move of 7 Moves of Ferocious Sun he has yet to perform in action against someone worthy enough, is the strangest move in this entire Profound Art...and in the future, maybe even the strongest. If Meng had to say how much he mastered the 1st and 2nd move until now, it would be around 40% adding that he already started with 10% since he created it himself therefore he had to have at least some experience with it. However, if he had to say how much he mastered the 5th move despite trying it out a few times on the way on some weak profound beasts...It wouldn't even amount to 1 % plus he himself was still a bit confused about how it works. Even when he first tried his 4th move, he already had enough proficiency in it to confidently say it was around 5 %. He was able to come up with it only by a chance and he never thought that it would even work out within this world's laws.

Most people were astonished while Heavenly Sword Villa's master, Ling Yuefeng received quite a big shock, he hoped to discover why Fairy Chu Yuechan would step in to help unknown junior...not to mention that junior was also quite rough with the disciple of her own Frozen Palace.

However, there were also people with very different reactions...

'TCH! Why does it seem like she is always getting in my way?!' Xuanyuan Yufeng who found Meng intriguing from the first time she noticed him looking at her with pity grew even more interested in him when she saw the means he used to defeat his opponents. But when she saw him injuring that beautiful disciple from Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace without any remorse, her interest in him only intensified...however...

'Chu Yuechan! Not only you are redirecting my husband's attention away from me, you are now even getting affiliated with a junior that intrigued me! Thankfully, it seems like Su Meng isn't too moved by her act...or her beauty.' Xuanyuan Yufeng thought, in the beginning, she kept an eye on Su Meng because she was suspicious that he knew about her insecurity but the more she observed this relatively nice-looking boy, she found him more interesting...be it his mysterious talent or sometimes overly too mature disposition for his age and one could even say noble air around him.

The mature disposition she discovered wasn't during the matches as he appeared more arrogant and hot-blooded but during the time between his matches when no one was really looking at him except for a few people.

"I believe that senior Fairies just couldn't stand how a senior dares to make a move against mere junior" Meng folded his arms and replied before releasing a tired sigh as his rage slightly subdued.

"Chu Yuechan, Chu Yueli, do you truly intend to protect this junior with a malicious heart no matter what?! He dared to cripple the second son of our sect master and also insulted great elder at the same time, please carefully think of consequences." Fen Moli questioned with narrowed eyes, saying that this action might deteriorate the relationship between 2 major sects.

"That's right, seniors, please think it over if this guy is worth the trouble." Fen Juecheng added with cupped fists.

The reason why Chu Yuechan moved to save Meng was that she owed him a favor and also, favor or not...She was extremely grateful to him for being able to officially step into Emperor Profound Realm without any price. She also thinks of Meng as a good person since he never looked at her with ulterior motives in his eyes. Even when he knocked her out for a little while, she could tell that he didn't touch her except for her shoulders, most likely to lay her on the bed. She could tell that he didn't even try to look under her veil therefore Meng has yet to even see her entire face. One more reason was that he intends to help her younger sister. There were simply so many reasons that she made a move even without thinking about it but she found it slightly surprising that even her younger sister joined despite knowing that she alone would be enough. However, Chu Yuechan immediately understood that her younger sister appeared together with her to show how important this matter is to them.

"Are you threatening our Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace? I very well know the consequences and I am very willing to face them!" Chu Yuechan immediately replied coldly, after what Fen Moli said, it became even a slightly personal and not just matter of protecting Meng.

Meng held his forehead as he felt nearing headache before he took a long deep breath

*SIGH* "Can we please stop this childish behavior?!" Everyone's eyes widened as they looked at the person who said that so aloud. It was Meng himself, holding his hands behind his back.

Even 2 Fairies that decided to step in and help him couldn't help but frown at his behavior.

"Fairy Chu Yuechan, Fairy Chu Yueli, I appreciate your righteous character and your kind intentions but let's face it...you are capable of protecting me only right now. It's quite evident that so Great Elder Fen Moli will send someone to kill me later, why a need to create any more tension between 2 sects when it won't really solve the problem itself?" Meng questioned with a tired expression.

"Su Meng...you-" Both sisters knew that this probably wouldn't solve the entire matter but what should they do? Just let Fen Moli attack him?

"Junior! You dare to even accuse me of doing such things?!" Fen Moli shouted, attacking him once again with his purple flames but they were instantly frozen by Chu Yuechan who also revealed her cultivation base, pressuring Fen Moli.

When she revealed her cultivation base of the 1st stage of Emperor Profound Realm, the crowd broke into an uproar. Feeling her dense aura, Fen Moli had no other choice but to step down and stop his actions.

"Great Elder Fen Moli, I am not accusing you. I mean...Do you really think that none of the people here are aware of what you will try once you can't get your hands on me during this tournament? Don't misunderstand me please, I am not trying to shame your Burning Heaven Clan. On the contrary, I am inviting anyone of your clan or even you yourself to come after me and try to kill me, I am perfectly fine with it, after all, acting all polite like there is no hatred between us...what are we? Children? Please feel free to say if you will send someone or you will come personally however..." Everyone was so dumbstruck by his words that there was complete silence except for Meng's voice and even Fen Moli kept quiet with a frustrated expression as Meng already saw through his first thoughts when he had to back out due to Chu Yuechan.

"-however, when I say you can come after me...I mean ME as Su Meng, a single person. I hope Great Elder Fen Moli understand this sentence and if not-" Meng said and narrowed his eyes, increasing the weight of his blood rapidly.

"I will gladly explain it more thoroughly!" Meng raised his voice while holding his hands behind his back, tightening his grasp and...*CRACK!* Cracks started rapidly spreading from Meng's legs across the entire arena like a never-ending cobweb.

"?!" This not only surprised Chu sisters and Fen Moli but even Ling Kun looked quite intrigued as he couldn't sense Meng using any profound energy to make the ground rupture like this. He was already informed by Xuanyuan Yufeng to keep an eye on Su Meng as she had connections to Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, however, he never really paid too much attention to him as he was focused on someone else...but, this scene caused him to grow more interested in him.

'Unfortunately, he is using spear which has no use at Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, however, I must commend his bravery for directly telling someone 3 realms above him to come after him once they are out of public's eyes.' Ling Kun thought that he was just arrogant but after seeing him so mysteriously rupture the ground in a radius of 100 meters, he couldn't help but think that Meng truly meant his words.

"Tch! What are you so arrogant about?! If it weren't for-" Fen Juecheng started shouting at Meng but Fen Moli quickly stopped him since Chu Yuechan was still there, protecting Meng and he had no idea how far she was willing to go for that boy.

"There is no need for our Burning Heaven Clan to secretly kill a mere Spirit Profound Realm junior." Fen Moli said aloud for everyone to hear before returning to his seat while Fen Juecheng went to apologize to Ling Yuefeng. He was visibly angered by Meng's words but he knew that as long as there was Chu Yuechan, he would be just humiliated if he were to try anything.

"...Fairy Chu Yuechan, Fairy Chu Yueli, thank you for your kind intentions" Meng said in a low voice as he slightly bowed to them.

'Kind intentions?' Both sisters could sense from his words that he didn't appreciate their actions at all but their intentions behind them. He was directly telling them that their interference was unnecessary!

'Just what kind of other secrets is he hiding?! To be able to talk so confidently between people of much superior profound strength...Also, the way he ruptured this arena, I couldn't feel him using any profound energy' Chu Yueli thought while looking at Meng with more cautious eyes. Both Chu sisters felt as if Meng was the one leading the conversation back then.
