Immortal Reincarnation Tribulation

Chapter 36 Night Visit to the Green Bamboo Garden

Before we knew it, time had quietly slipped away, and soon it was time for the moon to rise above the willow branches.

"Haha, I didn't expect Brother Du to be such a straightforward person, and his drinking capacity is also unparalleled. Most importantly, in the past twenty years, only you have understood the deliciousness of my roasted lamb leg. How wonderful!" Ye Feng held the wine jar, raised it sharply, and took a big gulp, his face already slightly red.

"Brother Ye's roasting technique is unique, making the outside crispy and the inside tender. What's rare is the special seasoning, which is not only extremely delicious, but also penetrates deep into the meat after being sprinkled on the lamb leg, resulting in a very even flavor. It's so much better than any roasted lamb leg I've ever had before." Du Fan had eaten quite a bit of this lamb leg and was now sincerely praising it. However, as he finished speaking, his expression began to darken, and he picked up his wine jar and took two big gulps.

"Oh? Brother Du, you've used this method before?" Ye Feng asked in surprise.

"Oh, no, I was drunk just now and said something inappropriate..." Du Fan felt bitter inside, as if being cut by a knife, but fortunately, his face was also flushed with alcohol, so no one could tell that he was drunk.

Ye Feng was already somewhat drunk and drowsy, so he naturally couldn't notice the other person's unusual behavior. He chuckled and then picked up the wine jar and took a small sip.

"The moon rises above the willow branches, and we meet after dusk. Brother Du, come with me. Now that we are brothers, you have to help me, whether you like it or not!" Ye Feng looked at the sky, and as if he had thought of something, his eyes suddenly lit up. He stood up abruptly, drank the remaining wine in the jar in one gulp, and then smashed it to the ground, shattering it into pieces.

"Huh?" Du Fan was taken aback.

"Let's go, brother, I won't hurt you." Ye Feng ignored Du Fan's surprise, grabbed him and walked out of the spirit garden, leaving the place in a mess.

"Brother Ye, here are your barbecue tools."

"No, I still have hundreds of sets in my Qiankun Ring."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Feng flicked his hand, and a cyan talisman suddenly appeared in his palm. With a wave of his hand, he slapped it onto Du Fan, and the talisman stuck firmly to Du Fan's body. He then grabbed Du Fan's arm and rushed out.

"Don't worry, this is a speed talisman."

Before Du Fan could react, he vanished like a gust of wind, and in a flash, he appeared five zhang away with Ye Feng.

"what……"

……

Half an incense stick's time later.

"Brother Ye, this matter... I still can't do it." Looking at the moon gate in front of him, which was seven or eight zhang in diameter, and the three dazzling characters "Emerald Bamboo Garden" on it, Du Fan's pupils shrank slightly, and he instantly sobered up a lot.

"How could I harm you? To tell you the truth, although the sect rules forbid male disciples from entering the Green Bamboo Garden, I don't care too much. If I'm caught by the deacons of the Enforcement Hall, I'll only get a warning at most. What I fear most isn't them, but the senior sister of the Green Bamboo Garden, Cheng Yu. This woman is rough and fierce, her cultivation is no less than mine, and she doesn't like me. Almost every time we meet, we fight. Don't laugh at me, Brother Du, but I'm really afraid of her. I've never gained the upper hand with her, and sometimes I even doubt if she's even a woman!"

"Don't worry, I've already scouted it out. That crazy woman went down the mountain early yesterday morning and won't be back today. So, Brother Du, you don't need to go yourself this time. I'll go in and deliver the message myself. You just need to keep watch here for me." Ye Feng quickly explained to Du Fan, while his eyes kept glancing towards the direction of the Green Bamboo Garden, looking impatient.

"Keep watch?" Du Fan was taken aback upon hearing this.

"Exactly. Although that crazy woman won't be back today, just in case, here you go. If there's any special situation, you must tear this talisman to shreds immediately. This talisman is called the Heart-Connecting Talisman. It comes in pairs. Once this talisman in your hand is destroyed, I will know immediately. Remember that, brother, I'm leaving!" Ye Feng patted Du Fan on the shoulder, and before the other party could say anything, he couldn't wait and his figure flashed and disappeared into the moon gate.

Du Fan opened his mouth, but before he could utter a word, Ye Feng had vanished. He could only shake his head with a wry smile. As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to him, and he who takes another's money is bound to him." Helpless, he could only choose an inconspicuous spot nearby to keep watch for him.

After a stick of incense had burned, Ye Feng still hadn't come out, and Du Fan couldn't help but worry. Just then, he heard footsteps approaching from afar, followed by indistinct voices.

"Junior Sister Cheng, this sect competition is different from the past. I hope you can supervise the daily cultivation of the junior sisters in the Green Bamboo Garden." A gentle male voice slowly came out.

"As the senior sister of Cuizhu Garden, even without the competition, I would naturally urge them to cultivate diligently. Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother Xue." A slightly rougher female voice then rang out. Her voice seemed devoid of emotion, but one could still faintly discern the respect she held for the man in her words.

"Senior Sister Cheng, is that junior sister Xia Rui, who just joined the Green Bamboo Garden, really that pretty? Senior Brother Ye Feng can't get her out of his mind. Huh? What are you doing here?" A melodious voice, as sweet as a nightingale's song, rang out, but before she could finish speaking, she saw Du Fan not far away and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Du Fan, who was standing under the trees, looked at the three people walking towards him in the distance and felt that something was wrong.

All three were dressed as inner disciples. The one in the middle was a tall man with an imposing presence and extraordinary demeanor. An invisible aura of righteousness emanated from his body, capable of instantly infecting others around him.

To his left was a rather robust woman, six feet tall, with a fierce look between her broad eyebrows. Her breathing was slightly heavy, and her limbs were thick, making her look exceptionally fierce. The tall man next to her appeared rather weak in comparison.

It was obvious that the pleasant female voice just now came from the girl of about thirteen or fourteen years old to the man's right. The girl was pretty and charming, and she was looking at Du Fan with her big, curious eyes, which kept moving around, giving her a very clever feeling.

Du Fan was naturally surprised, but even more nervous, so he slowed down the action of tearing the talisman in his hand.

"The Heart-Connecting Talisman!" Upon seeing the talisman, the burly woman whom the little girl called Senior Sister Cheng seemed to instantly realize a possibility. Her thick eyebrows shot up and her eyes blazed with fury.

"Huh, it really is the Heart-Connecting Talisman!" The little girl's gaze shifted downwards, and she immediately saw the Heart-Connecting Talisman in Du Fan's hand. Her beautiful big eyes kept turning around. When she saw that he was about to tear the talisman, a sly look flashed across her face. After a wicked smile, she raised her fair little hand and struck the talisman.

Du Fan felt a ripple in the air between his hands, and the Heart-Connecting Talisman in his hand instantly flew out and towards the little girl opposite him, leaving him no time to stop it.

"Tell me honestly, is that scoundrel Ye Feng in the Green Bamboo Garden?"

A deafening roar, accompanied by boundless fury, erupted from Senior Sister Cheng's gaping maw, shaking Du Fan so much that his eardrums nearly burst. A look of horror flashed in his eyes, and for a moment, he was so stunned that he forgot to speak or bow.

The righteous man looked embarrassed and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak. His eyes showed pity and reluctance when he looked at Du Fan.

"Are you an accomplice of Senior Brother Ye Feng?" The little girl glanced at the talisman in her hand, looked up at Du Fan, sizing him up and down, seemingly quite interested in him, and then playfully asked him.

"Judging from your expression, it goes without saying that's the case. Judging from your clothes, you're just an inner sect servant. How dare you disobey your duty and cause trouble in my Green Bamboo Garden with that fellow? I think you're tired of living!"

Another loud bang, like thunder, followed by a low roar. A massive figure flashed by and charged towards Du Fan with lightning speed. Wherever it passed, it stirred up howling waves and made an astonishing sound. In an instant, it was in front of Du Fan.

Just then, the woman clenched her right fist and punched out fiercely. Judging from the momentum, if Du Fan were hit by this punch, he would not only have no chance of survival, but would also die a terrible death.

Du Fan's hair stood on end instantly, a chill ran down his spine, and he felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him. The surrounding void tightened, and he was as if he were imprisoned by an invisible force, unable to move, and his breathing became labored.

A man and a woman in the distance were clearly taken aback. They knew this woman had a volatile temper and disliked Ye Feng, but they never expected her to kill an inner sect servant without hesitation. Although the death of a servant was nothing in itself, inner sect servants were different from outer sect servants. Each inner sect servant had a Foundation Establishment senior uncle who was a steward. As the saying goes, even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner.

The man sighed softly, and just as he was about to intervene, a loud whooshing sound suddenly arose beside Du Fan.

The woman surnamed Cheng, who was less than half a zhang away from Du Fan, suddenly narrowed her eyes, raised her thick eyebrows, and with a flick of her arm, transformed her fist into a palm, striking the seemingly empty space in front of her. A golden ring about a foot in size appeared out of thin air. The golden ring collided head-on with the woman's hand in mid-air, producing a violent boom, and an invisible shockwave instantly rippled outwards in all directions.

After a deafening roar, the burly woman was instantly sent flying backward, landing four or five zhang behind her, her face ashen as she glared ahead. At the same time, the golden ring trembled slightly, then hummed before transforming into countless golden rays that dissipated. A tattered golden talisman suddenly appeared the instant the golden light vanished, then turned to dust in a gust of wind and disappeared completely.

"You crazy woman, big, burly, obese, psychologically depraved, love-starved stupid woman! It's one thing to be arrogant towards me all the time, but now you dare to lay a hand on my brother? Do you really think I'm afraid of you?! Today I'll roast that fat of yours until it's oozing oil!"

Dressed in a white Taoist robe, Ye Feng, elegant and graceful, suddenly appeared not far from Du Fan, standing with his hands behind his back, his long hair moving without wind, anger already evident between his brows, coldly staring at the woman opposite him.
