Chapter 615: Chapter 615: An Obvious Intention
Han Wei’s admiration immediately surged.
’As expected of my master!’
Even a private meeting with the Empress could somehow become an opportunity for enlightenment!
Li Feng, however, had no idea what was going through Han Wei’s mind.
He simply stood there in silence as he gazed into the setting sun.
His pure black eyes were filled with clarity as the warm orange light bathed his face, yet Li Feng felt strangely light.
"..."
His body felt as though a great weight had been lifted from it, leaving behind an unusual sense of emptiness.
"Haa..."
Li Feng slowly exhaled as he felt, for the first time in a long time... his balls were completely emptied.
’...I really have nothing left.’
Ever since he had gained so many stars within his body, there had never been a true sense of emptiness or peace inside him.
Of course, Li Feng didn’t hate it.
If anything, those stars gave him an almost endless supply of energy, meaning he could indulge himself and enjoy himself whenever he wished.
But this... this was different.
For once, his entire body felt completely empty.
Strangely enough, it was kinda peaceful.
Li Feng slowly raised both hands and pressed his palms together.
His expression was solemn... almost reverent.
He gazed toward the setting sun for a long moment before quietly muttering,
"Thank you, heavens..."
’Thank you for giving me the opportunity to discover that something as ordinary as a mouth could be so... monstrous in secret, depending on the owner.’
’Truly, the world is full of wonders.’
Behind him, Han Wei stared at his master’s face.
Li Feng stood there with his palms pressed together, his expression calm and profound as he gazed toward the setting sun.
He looked exactly like a monk who had just attained enlightenment after decades of meditation.
Han Wei’s eyes widened.
’Master really has reached enlightenment... I had better not interrupt him.’
With that thought, Han Wei quietly stood beside his master, not daring to say another word.
The two men remained in silence beneath the fading sunlight.
After a few minutes, Li Feng finally opened his eyes.
He turned his head and looked at Han Wei, who was still standing quietly beside him with his hands respectfully clasped behind his back.
Seeing how serious the fellow looked, Li Feng shook his head and asked directly,
"So, what did that guard give you?"
Li Feng already knew that a guard had given something to Han Wei earlier.
With his terrifyingly sharp senses, noticing the exchange had been as easy as noticing a leaf falling from a tree even when he was dealing with a sucking monster.
Han Wei blinked.
"You noticed?"
Li Feng gave him a flat look.
"Do you think I wouldn’t?"
Han Wei immediately wave his hand and became serious.
"Of course not, Master."
He reached into his robe and took out the item the guard had given him.
"Actually, I was just about to report it to you."
Han Wei immediately took out the item from his robe.
It was a card.
But calling it merely a card seemed almost insulting.
The material was dark and glossy, with delicate golden patterns running along its edges. Even under the fading sunlight, it reflected a faint, luxurious sheen.
Li Feng raised an eyebrow.
"What is this?"
Han Wei carefully handed it over.
"It was given to me by that guard."
Li Feng took the card and examined it for a moment.
The moment his fingers touched it, he could feel a faint spiritual fluctuation coming from the material.
He turned it over.
Several elegant characters were engraved across the surface.
And it read as... Autumn Pavilion.
Li Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly.
"Autumn Pavilion?"
Han Wei nodded.
"Yes. The guard said this was an invitation card."
"An invitation?"
"Yes, Master."
But then, Han Wei scratched his head.
"He didn’t explain much. He only told me that someone from the Autumn Pavilion wanted to invite you. Apparently, there will be a huge auction taking place tonight."
At those words, Li Feng looked at the luxurious card again.
’An invitation from the Autumn Pavilion... huh.’
Slowly, a faint smile appeared on his face.
’I guess someone is getting impatient.’
The Autumn Pavilion was clearly not an ordinary establishment.
Considering the timing, he wouldn’t be surprised if this place had some connection to one of the princes.
Before Li Feng could say anything else, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Oh? Did you say the Autumn Pavilion auction?"
Li Feng turned his head.
Behind him stood Fen Ling, her regal appearance as composed as ever.
Her crimson and gold robes remained perfectly neat, and her long black hair was still arranged flawlessly behind her.
She calmly raised a handkerchief and gently wiped the corner of her lips as she walked toward him, her expression completely natural.
Han Wei, who was standing nearby, couldn’t help but freeze for a moment.
This was the first time he had seen the Empress from such a close distance.
And she was even more beautiful than he had imagined.
Her features were elegant and refined, but there was something far more intimidating than beauty in her presence.
It was dignity... and power.
The feeling of someone who had stood at the highest position of the Fen Dynasty for countless years.
Even without deliberately releasing any pressure, Fen Ling’s presence made Han Wei instinctively straighten his back.
He lowered his gaze slightly, not daring to stare for too long.
’So this is the Empress...’
Han Wei had heard countless stories about her, but seeing her in person was completely different.
She didn’t need to raise her voice or display her cultivation.
Her very presence was enough to make him understand why countless cultivators and nobles treated her with the utmost respect.
And yet...
Han Wei secretly glanced at Li Feng.
’Master is actually this close to someone like her...?’
His admiration for his master increased once again.
Fen Ling noticed Han Wei’s respectful posture and simply smiled.
She didn’t seem to mind it at all.
After all, she had experienced this countless times before.
Nobles, ministers, cultivators, and even powerful figures from various sects had all reacted similarly when standing before her.
To Fen Ling, Han Wei’s reaction was nothing unusual.
She continued speaking calmly, completely at ease.
"Li Feng, if you have some free time, you should attend it tonight."
