Chapter 671: Chapter 671: The Portal Opens
Upon hearing Zhu Fei’s question, Qi Xuankai was momentarily stunned but soon felt a spark of joy in his heart.
Since Zhu Fei had posed this question, it implied that he had all but accepted their invitation.
Just as Qi Xuankai was about to respond, Meng Chengfeng interrupted directly:
"Since it’s about forming a team, the distribution of treasure should naturally depend on how much effort each person puts in, or wouldn’t it simply benefit those who want to freeload?" Brother Qi, isn’t that right?"
As he spoke, Meng Chengfeng’s gaze provocatively glanced at Zhu Fei, with a clear disdainful sneer that anyone could discern.
Qi Xuankai felt somewhat embarrassed; although he admitted that Meng Chengfeng’s proposed method of distribution wasn’t wrong,
it upset him that Meng Chengfeng had interrupted and targeted Zhu Fei in such a sarcastic manner right in front of their team leader.
Qi Xuankai kept quiet, but he was displeased inside.
Had he known this was Meng Chengfeng’s character, he wouldn’t have agreed to collaborate with him in the first place.
Now that Meng Chengfeng had joined his team, even if he didn’t want to cooperate with him, there was no turning back.
Moreover, Zhu Fei was possibly provoked by Meng Chengfeng’s words and would likely not want to join his team.
Thinking this, Qi Xuankai sighed quietly to himself, about to politely give Zhu Fei an out.
After all, regardless of their ability to cooperate, there was no need to completely offend someone, right?
But before Qi Xuankai could speak up, Zhu Fei nodded and responded directly, "Yes."
Then, Zhu Fei turned to Qi Xuankai and smiled, "Brother Qi, my name is Zhu Fei; I look forward to our cooperation and hope you will take good care of me."
Qi Xuankai was shocked; he had not expected Zhu Fei to still be willing to join their squad after what had just transpired.
Yet Qi Xuankai’s shock was momentary, and he quickly recovered, smiling warmly,
"That’s easy to say. Since Brother Zhu holds me in such regard, I certainly won’t let you down."
"Thank you, Brother Qi," Zhu Fei said, nodding with a smile.
In truth, Zhu Fei hadn’t taken Meng Chengfeng’s earlier attitude to heart.
Because, given the level of Meng Chengfeng’s current strength, he wasn’t even worth Zhu Fei’s consideration.
Thereupon, Zhu Fei once again exchanged greetings with the rest of the team members.
Except for Meng Chengfeng, who showed some displeasure, the others, Li Zhen and Guo Weiwei, were quite polite and showed no obvious distaste towards Zhu Fei.
"Brother Zhu, now that you have joined our squad, there are some matters I need to discuss with you," Qi Xuankai said solemnly to Zhu Fei after the greetings were over.
Zhu Fei was taken aback, unsure of Qi Xuankai’s meaning and why he wanted to communicate using their Primordial Spirits.
But quickly, Zhu Fei understood why Qi Xuankai had chosen this method.
According to Qi Xuankai, there was a Treasure Map Fragment on his person that pertained to the Frozen Forest.
As per the marks on this map, there was a location that potentially held vast treasures.
To enter this treasure location, the first requirement was to have at least five Cultivators at the Returning to Void Stage or above, who must attack the Prohibition there simultaneously.
Only by breaking that prohibition could they possibly enter the depths of the treasure to hunt for it.
And through this matter, it also precisely explained why Qi Xuankai and the others, already having four teammates, still wanted to invite Zhu Fei to join them for the real reason.
"Boom!"
Just after Qi Xuankai had finished explaining this matter to Zhu Fei, a loud noise suddenly erupted from the front of the valley where everyone was located.
The originally sealed giant glacier at that time suddenly cracked open, and then continuously split apart to both sides.
In no time, a massive portal leading to the interior of the Ice-Sealed Forest directly appeared before everyone!
"Brother Zhu, Brother Meng, Li, and Guo, let’s go!"
Seeing the portal leading to the interior of the Ice-Sealed Forest, Qi Xuankai immediately called out to everyone and then took the lead in flying into the portal.
Following him, Meng Chengfeng, Li Zhen, and Guo Weiwei also, not to be outdone, flew into the icy portal.
Only Zhu Fei, at that time, slightly furrowed his brow.
For he realised that the Cultivators who entered the icy portal were mostly in groups of five.
This immediately made Zhu Fei feel that the news Qi Xuankai had just conveyed to him was perhaps not known only to their group.
This treasure-seeking quest seemed not to be as smooth as imagined.
Although thinking this, Zhu Fei did not continue to delay and directly stretched his form and also rushed into the icy portal.
As soon as he entered the Interior of the Ice-Sealed Forest, Zhu Fei caught sight of Qi Xuankai and the others waiting for him not far away.
Meng Chengfeng’s face looked displeased and said directly to Zhu Fei, "Brother Zhu, if you truly fear danger, you could have told us openly, rest assured, knowing each other as we do, I think no one would mock you."
The implication of Meng Chengfeng’s words was that Zhu Fei was dilly-dallying, clearly able to come in at the first moment, yet he chose to be the last, making the four of them wait for him alone.
Of course, in this, Meng Chengfeng also harbored some ulterior motives.
For instance, the way Li Zhen and Guo Weiwei looked at Zhu Fei at that moment clearly carried a hint of disdain.
"Alright, Brother Meng, let’s talk less for now. Since we’re all here, let’s hurry and take care of the important matters first," said Qi Xuankai.
Qi Xuankai was rather decent as a person; after hearing Meng Chengfeng’s words, he first furrowed his brows slightly then immediately changed the subject.
He turned to look at Zhu Fei, "Brother Zhu, we’re going to head to that place right now, you shouldn’t have any objections, right?"
Zhu Fei’s expression appeared very calm at that time, as if he hadn’t taken Meng Chengfeng’s words seriously at all.
Indeed, that was the case—how could a mere Cultivator in the Perfect Returning to Void stage, an existence as insignificant as an ant, truly stir up any emotional fluctuations in Zhu Fei?
However, regarding Qi Xuankai who was before him, Zhu Fei did feel quite a bit of appreciation.
Thereupon he smiled and nodded at Qi Xuankai, "I have no issues here, Brother Qi. Whatever you wish to prioritize, let’s do that."
Throughout it all, Zhu Fei never gave Meng Chengfeng a direct glance, instantly causing a glint of cold light to cross Meng Chengfeng’s eyes.
Qi Xuankai didn’t think too much upon hearing this and directly nodded, "Alright, since that’s settled, then let’s head to that place right now."
With these words, Qi Xuankai still took the lead and flashed his body, flying toward a distant part of the snow forest.
