Chapter 116 The Beginning of Feng Dan’s Affection
Within the Golden Door Sect.
Feng Dan’s hand was tightly clutching the spirit stone that Jiang Ping had given her.
Normally speaking, if someone didn’t need it, they would have thrown this hot potato away long ago. If it was someone from a registered sect, they would definitely hand it over to the sect.
Not only would he be able to get rid of this hot potato, but he would also be able to raise his status within the sect.
If it was a secular rogue cultivator, most of them would give this spirit stone to a big shot who could absorb it that was above the nascent soul realm.
Since she wouldn’t be able to absorb it, keeping it with her would be a hidden danger for her. By giving it away, she would be able to make a nascent soul realm cultivator owe her a favor, and the benefits wouldn’t be any less than absorbing a high-grade spirit stone.
After Feng Dan obtained it, other than the person who gave it away, as well as Zi Yue, no one knew that she still had a high-grade spirit stone in her hand.
Feng Dan sat quietly in her room, clutching the spirit stone with both hands and holding it close to her chest.
As the door creaked open, Zi Yue walked in.
Feng Dan immediately hid the spirit stone that was in her hand.
Zi Yue shook her head helplessly.
“Don’t hide anymore, I know what you’re holding in your hand.”
“Why are you so disobedient? Even if you return the spirit stone, he won’t interact much with you.”
Feng Dan stammered, “I know… but…”
Zi Yue came to Feng Dan’s bedside and sat down next to her.
She held Feng Dan’s shoulders with both hands.
“Do you really like him that much?” Feng Dan glanced at Zi Yue and shook her head.
“I don’t know what it means to like him. I’m just a little disappointed.”
Zi Yue sighed and sat down beside her without saying a word.
After a long time, Feng Dan suddenly stood up.
“Let’s go. We’ll give this spirit stone to my father.”
Zi Yue stood up and smiled.
The woman who was still holding the spirit stone tightly also smiled bitterly.
The two of them came to the Golden Door Sect’s main study, and Feng Dan gently knocked on the door. After getting her father’s permission, she pushed the door open and walked in.
Zi Yue also followed in.
“What’s wrong, my precious daughter? It’s rare for you to take the initiative to enter the study.”
The sect master of the Golden Door Sect, Feng Chenghan, saw his daughter walk in and chuckled.
Feng Dan didn’t answer her father’s question. Instead, she walked forward, placed the high-grade spirit stone on the table, and turned around to leave.
Before Zi Yue had the time to react, she saw Feng Dan walking out.
She could only hurriedly greet Uncle Feng before trotting behind Feng Dan.
In the study, only Feng Chenghan was left dumbstruck staring at the high-grade spirit stone that was glowing with green light on the table.
The servant of the Golden Door Sect was about to report something to the sect master when he happened to bump into Zi Yue and Feng Dan walking out of the study.
The servant bowed and greeted his young miss and the daughter of the mayor’s mansion. However, the two of them ignored him and walked past him.
The servant didn’t think much of it. After all, he thought that it was normal for these young misses to have strange tempers.
After the two girls walked past, the servant walked into the study.
Seeing that the study door wasn’t closed, he bowed and walked in.
“Master, ever since the Blood Fang Gang was wiped out for no reason, the other forces in Fusheng City have been snatching the Blood Fang Gang’s properties.” “According to your instructions, after our Golden Door Sect interfered, those unrated forces have become more well-behaved.”
After saying that, the servant bowed and slowly stood up. After standing up straight, his gaze was instantly attracted by the stone on the table that was shimmering with a green light.

The servant’s eyes also widened, and his expression was the same as Feng Chenghan’s.
Feng Chenghan was called back from his shock by the servant’s voice. Seeing that there was an outsider in front of him, Feng Chenghan hurriedly put away the spirit stone.
Straightening his body, he said to the servant.
“Ahem, Zhou Zheng, when did you come in?”
The servant named Zhou Zheng immediately restrained the shock on his face and replied to Feng Chenghan that he had entered the study since the door wasn’t closed.
Then, he repeated to Feng Chenghan what he had just reported.
Feng Chenghan nodded and replied. “Great. I’ll leave this matter to you. You’ll be rewarded handsomely if it’s done well.”
“If there’s nothing else, you can leave first.”
Zhou Zheng bowed to Feng Chenghan again and then retreated out of the study.
After walking out of the study, Zhou Zheng’s mind was filled with the high-grade spirit stone that was placed on the desk just now.
It would be a lie to say that he didn’t covet it. After all, one high-grade spirit stone was enough for him to establish his own force in Fusheng City. Although according to his late-stage core building cultivation, this faction could not even be considered third-rate.
But at least it was better than being a servant who had to bow and scrape every day.
Zhou Zheng shook his head and no longer thought about these illusory things. After all, he was only a servant.
After Feng Dan and Zi Yue left the Golden Door Sect, they directly left Fusheng City and came to a lake called Yingri Lake outside the city.
The two of them liked to play in this area since they were young. The scenery was pretty good, and during each autumn harvest, the crabs in the lake grew very big.
The people in Fusheng City loved to eat crabs, and cultivators were no exception. There were many ways to cook them, and they could satisfy anyone’s taste. Therefore, every autumn, there would be many people surrounding Yingri Lake to catch crabs.
Ever since the two girls started cultivating, they relied on the fact that cultivators held their breath longer than ordinary people, so they often went down to the bottom of the lake to catch crabs.
At that time, no matter how long the two girls stayed at the bottom of the lake, their catches were not as fruitful as those ordinary people.
These ordinary people, who could not cultivate, used tools to weave crab cages out of bamboo.
The crab cages were tied with ropes, and there were pig livers placed inside. They were thrown to the bottom of the lake and left overnight. When the cages were pulled up the next day, the pig livers inside were replaced with fat crabs.
It was already autumn. Just like in previous years, Yingri Lake was surrounded by many people. Some of them were there to put crab cages, some were collecting the crab cages, while others were just there to watch the fun.
Along the way, the two people who had nothing to say came to the lakeside one after another. Zi Yue teased Feng Dan.
“What? Does Sister Feng want to catch crabs? It’s a pity that we’re not like how we were when we were younger.” “Now that our Golden Door Sect’s young miss is so slender and elegant, jumping into the water to catch crabs, I’m afraid that you’ll attract the attention of many handsome young
men.”
“Maybe those handsome young men will be dazed when they see Sister Feng’s graceful, drenched figure, and they won’t be able to stop salivating.”
Zi Yue said as she chuckled.
Feng Dan squeezed out a smile forcefully and said to Zi Yue.
“Yue’er, you don’t have to put in the effort to make me happy. Do I look sad to you?”
Zi Yue rolled her eyes at Feng Dan.
“Yes, yes, yes. Our Miss Feng is the most open-minded.”
Feng Dan pointed to a place where there were fewer people, where one could see the full view of Yingri Lake.
“Let’s go over there. Yue’er, sit with me.”
After saying that, she walked directly to the place she pointed to just now. Zi Yue responded with an “oh” and followed obediently.
