NOVEL FROG Chapter 52
Qiao Feng didn't know they would come to Yanjing City in a group, but this was within his expectations.
In the forest, the palm wind whistled, carrying a scorching heat.
He stopped practicing and looked towards the direction of Yanjing City.
"There are still three days left. I wonder how Shangguan Haitang and Cheng Shifei will deal with it."
Frowning, Qiao Feng walked towards the town at the foot of the mountain.
It was called a town, but it was only a gathering place of 20 to 30 households, and could only be considered a village.
He went into the only noodle shop here as he had done a few days ago.
"Boss, two bowls of noodles."
""Okay."
The two of them said in a familiar tone, and Qiao Feng sat down at a table by himself.
He was not surprised that there was no one in the restaurant at mealtime, because most of them were passers-by, and only those who came to and from Yanjing City would stop here.
This place is at least 20 miles away from Yanjing.
Locals hardly come to the restaurant to eat, so it is normal that there is no one here.
But just when Qiao Feng thought he would finish his meal quietly as usual, he suddenly heard footsteps.
He immediately flashed a look of surprise in his eyes, but in the blink of an eye, his expression returned to normal.
The person who came was not low in martial arts, and the footsteps were light. There is a slight pattern, but he does not hide it deliberately. He is a master.
Qiao Feng glanced at the door inadvertently, but squinted his eyes, then picked up the tea bowl on the table and took a sip.
At the door of the shop, a woman walked in slowly. She was wearing a red dress that was very eye-catching, like a blooming flame.
Her long black hair was simply tied up with a red rope, and fell like a waterfall on her shoulders.
On her face that seemed to be carefully carved by the Creator, there was a hint of heroism between her eyebrows, and her pair of phoenix eyes blinked slightly, looking around the shop.
When she saw Qiao Feng, her eyes stayed for a few breaths, and then moved away.
"Please come in, what would you like to eat?"
The boss also noticed the people outside and ran out to greet them.
"A bowl of noodles." Her voice was as calm as water, yet it could stir up endless ripples in people's hearts.
"Okay, please wait a moment."
After a simple conversation, the woman flicked her skirt slightly to prevent the gorgeous red dress from dragging on the ground, and sat down at the table on Qiao Feng's left.
The two of them just sat there, as if their eyes were only focused on the tea in front of them, taking a sip every once in a while, without looking at each other too much.
"Dengdengdeng……"
Before the noodles were served, there were chaotic footsteps outside.
There were several people waiting outside, only a young man ran into the shop, and when he saw the woman in red, he hurriedly walked over with a serious expression and lowered his head.
He leaned over and whispered a few words in the woman's ear, and then saw the woman waved her hand, so he bowed and retreated.
Qiao Feng was not concentrating on eavesdropping, nor did he care about what they said.
But it can be seen that the man's restraint and fear in front of the woman were not pretended.
He must be a big shot from some force.
Qiao Feng thought so
"The noodles are ready."
The boss came out with two bowls of noodles and placed them on Qiao Feng's table.
""Thank you." Qiao Feng took the chopsticks and prepared to eat.
The boss had run a noodle shop for more than 30 years. The food was not as good as the delicacies in the big cities, but it tasted good.
However, before he moved his chopsticks, a slightly cold voice came out.
"Boss, give him both bowls of noodles. Where is my noodles?"
The boss quickly apologized and said,"Girl, wait a moment. Your noodles will be ready soon. This customer ordered two bowls of noodles."
"Oh... then hurry up." The woman restrained her momentum.
Seeing that there was no conflict, Qiao Feng started eating directly.
Judging from the temperament of this woman, she must be of high status, and her strength is not weaker than that of ordinary grandmasters. He had never heard of such a master in the martial arts world.
A red dress...
Qiao Feng thought in his mind.
Most women in the martial arts world wear white and light-colored clothes. Qianqian is quite unique, wearing pink.
This one is dressed in a fiery red like a blazing flame.
Qiao Feng paused while eating, and he really thought of someone at this moment.
Dongfang Bai.
But as the leader of the Sun and Moon Sect, why would she come to this small place to eat noodles?
It doesn't make sense.
But the comment of Tianji Tower is that she has a strange temperament and likes red... …
Qiao Feng was uncertain again.
He simply ate the noodles first, and everything else was empty. After finishing one bowl, he picked up another.
Soon, the noodles for the woman in red were also brought out by the boss.
She didn't say a word, just picked up the chopsticks and started eating. It was completely different from the scene Qiao Feng had imagined.
He thought he had eaten very quickly, but the woman came later and caught up with him. They both put down their chopsticks almost at the same time.
Qiao Feng put ten coins on the table and turned to leave the noodle shop.
The woman glanced at Qiao Feng's back, her eyes moved slightly, and she stood up to leave.
But when she saw the copper coins on Qiao Feng's table, she paused, felt around, and finally took out a thumb-sized piece of silver and threw it on the table.
"Hey... girl, there are too many, I can't find them all."
The boss just came out and saw them, and shouted
"No need to look for it."
She said without turning her head, leaving the boss in a daze.
Qiao Feng returned to the forest as usual to intensify his training.
These few days were the days when he practiced the most diligently in the past few months.
It was also the time when his martial arts strength increased the fastest.
The internal strength was integrated, and even if he integrated several internal skills, he did not feel the slightest bit of sluggishness.
In the evening, he caught a pheasant and prepared to improve the food. He plucked the feathers, threw away the internal organs, and simply touched some coarse salt from the noodle shop owner, and found mud and big tree leaves to wrap it up. A simple beggar's chicken was ready.
This was what he saw Huang Rong do.
Qiao Feng stood on the top of the mountain and looked around. The sky had completely darkened and it was quiet all around.
He had almost gotten used to this kind of life in the past few days. Looking at the gradually appearing starry sky, he felt that the air quality here was really good.
When the beggar's chicken was almost steamed, Qiao Feng immediately turned over the fire.
The moment the mud shell was smashed and the leaves scattered, a fragrance wafted out.
Qiao Feng took a deep breath.
"Not bad, it seems that the skills have not declined."
He was about to eat with relish, but suddenly frowned.
""Come out."
Qiao Feng shouted.
A sound of breaking wind was heard, and a red figure floated down from the treetops not far away in the night. His lightness skills were outstanding, and his red clothes looked so dazzling in the weak firelight.
""Why are you following me?"
Qiao Feng asked. This person was none other than the woman in red whom he had met during the day.
The woman in red slowly approached and said,"I just happened to pass by here. How can I say I'm following you? I'm just curious. You are quite good at martial arts, but why do you live in the mountains like a savage?""
"There is no reason. Some people like the hustle and bustle of the city, and some people like the quietness of the mountains and fields."
Qiao Feng replied calmly.
"I have a suggestion, why not listen to it?" The woman glanced at the shiny and fragrant pheasant in Qiao Feng's hand and said
"What proposal?"
"Since you have acquired unique skills, why don't you join me in conquering the martial world? I'll send people to take care of your food, clothing, shelter and transportation. Wouldn't that be a joy?"
Qiao Feng shook his head when he heard this."No need. I don't like the scheming life in the martial world."
Now, he had confirmed the identity of the person in front of him.
It was Dongfang Bai, the leader of the Sun Moon Sect.
"Really? How about we make a bet?" Dongfang Bai said again.
Qiao Feng continued to shake his head:"I don't want to"
"I won, you come with me, I won't restrict your freedom, you only need to help me occasionally, your status is second only to me, by the way, give me this chicken too."
She said to herself, it seems that she didn't hear Qiao Feng's words of not wanting.
Qiao Feng put down the roasted pheasant,"It seems that you are not only targeting me, but also my chicken."
"So you agreed?"
"So what if you lose?" Qiao Feng was no longer in a hurry to eat chicken. He stared at her and asked
"I am Dongfang Bai, the leader of the Sun Moon Sect. If you really lose, I will let you be the leader and I will be your subordinate.
Qiao Feng raised his eyebrows.
This woman is playing big.
""Okay."
Qiao Feng stood up and raised his hand to make a gesture of invitation.
