Chapter 226 Unexpected Banquet

The morning sun shone through the gaps between the leaves and onto the ground, and the square of the Soul Master Academy was bustling with activity. Qin Feng and his companions were woken up by the academy's steward early in the morning. It turned out that there was a special banquet today, and all students had to attend.

"Brother Feng, what's the background of this banquet? It looks quite grand." Zhang Meng asked curiously while adjusting his clothes. His sturdy body squeezed in a slightly tight dress looked funny no matter how he looked at it.

Qin Feng was tightening his tie. When he heard Zhang Meng's question, he smiled and said, "I heard that the new school director wants to meet us young and promising students. I guess he is another big shot. I hope this time it won't be like last time, when I was almost forced to become a disciple."

Ye Li was patiently helping Chu Tian adjust his bow tie. When she heard Qin Feng's words, she couldn't help but laugh: "It was really funny last time. Brother Feng was almost mistaken by that elder for his long-lost grandson."

Chu Tian looked helpless: "Don't laugh at me, that elder actually found his grandson later, and they both look a bit like Brother Feng."

"Hey, hey, I don't want to be said to be that old man's grandson!" Qin Feng waved his hands quickly and said with an exaggerated expression.

Just as everyone was laughing and joking, a figure suddenly appeared at the door. It turned out to be their mentor Ling Yun. He stood at the door, his eyes gentle but with a hint of seriousness: "Are you all ready? Today's banquet is very important, you must not cause trouble at the table."

"Got it, Teacher Ling, we will behave ourselves." Qin Feng agreed with a smile, but he was thinking in his heart, when has he ever behaved himself in such a situation?

The banquet hall was decorated magnificently, and the long table was filled with delicious food, and the aroma was overflowing. The students gathered in groups of three or four, some chatting, and some eating. As soon as Qin Feng and his friends entered the door, they saw a middle-aged man in a gorgeous robe standing in the middle, surrounded by people.

"Is that the new school director?" Chu Tian asked in a low voice.

Ye Li nodded: "I heard his name is Andy Lau, and he comes from a very famous family."

Zhang Meng stared at the barbecue on the table with shining eyes: "Wow, that meat looks so delicious!"

Qin Feng couldn't help laughing when he saw Zhang Meng's expression: "You foodie, you can't walk when you see food."

At this moment, the middle-aged man Andy Lau suddenly looked up at Qin Feng and the others, smiling and waving: "Young people, come on, come on, sit over here."

Qin Feng was a little surprised, but he still walked over with his friends. Andy Lau enthusiastically poured them some wine and motioned for them to sit down.

"I heard that you guys are all elites in the academy. You are really young and promising!" Andy Lau said with a smile, his eyes scanning back and forth between Qin Feng and Ye Li.

Qin Feng nodded politely: "Principal Liu, you are too kind. We are just ordinary students. How can we be called elites?"

Andy Lau waved his hand: "You are too modest. I heard that you have made great contributions in the fight against the Dark Sect, especially you, Qin Feng. You are so powerful at such a young age. I am really amazed."

Qin Feng smiled and said, "That's the result of everyone's efforts. I can't do anything by myself."

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the door, and a man in black rushed in with a panicked look on his face: "Oh no! Someone from the Dark Cult was spotted outside the academy!"

When Andy Lau heard this, his face changed and he immediately stood up: "Everyone, I need to go take care of something, you guys continue to enjoy."

After saying that, he hurriedly left the banquet hall. Qin Feng and his companions looked at each other, put down their tableware, and prepared to go out to see what was going on.

"Let's go and take a look, maybe we can help." Chu Tian said, already rubbing his hands, ready to do a great job.

Ye Li nodded: "Yes, the dark sect outside the academy must have bad intentions, we have to be careful."

Qin Feng stood up and patted Zhang Meng on the shoulder: "Stop eating, let's go."

Zhang Meng glanced at the barbecue on the table reluctantly and sighed: "Okay, but if there is no fight, I must come back to eat enough!"

They hurried to the outside of the academy and found that a group of people had gathered here. Andy Lau was standing on a big rock, directing the students to search everywhere. Seeing Qin Feng and the others coming, he nodded and said, "You came at the right time. Someone just saw a few spies from the dark sect sneaking into the academy. I need your help in the search."

Qin Feng nodded in agreement, and then took his companions to act separately. They searched carefully in every corner of the academy, and Ye Li's frost fox played an important role. Its keen sense of smell helped them find several suspicious traces.

Suddenly, a breeze blew by, and Qin Feng keenly sensed something strange. He looked back and found a dark shadow quietly retreating.

"Stop!" Qin Feng shouted and quickly chased after him. Seeing this, the black shadow turned around and ran away at a very fast speed. Qin Feng was not willing to be outdone and used Qinggong to catch up with him.

"Don't run!" Chu Tian and Zhang Meng were chasing closely behind.

The black shadow ran to a remote corner, and seeing that there was no way to escape, he suddenly stopped and turned to face Qin Feng and the others.

"You little devils are chasing us so closely." The black shadow said with a sneer, then he drew his weapons and prepared to fight.

Qin Feng drew out the Dragon Shadow Sword, with a cold light flashing in his eyes: "You people from the Dark Sect only know how to hide in dark corners and do mischief. Don't even think about running away today!"

The battle was about to start. The black shadow was extremely fast, constantly shuttling in the shadows, trying to find an opportunity to attack Qin Feng. But Qin Feng's reaction was just as fast, his Dragon Shadow Sword flashed with blue lightning, and every swing of the sword forced the black shadow to retreat step by step.

At this moment, Zhang Meng and Chu Tian also arrived and surrounded the black shadow together. Ye Li was far away, ready to provide support at any time. Facing the siege of four people, the black shadow knew that there was no way to escape, so he gritted his teeth and prepared for a last-ditch effort.

Suddenly, a strong light descended from the sky, and the black shadow screamed and fell directly to the ground. Everyone looked and saw Andy Lau descending from the sky, holding a huge sword in his hand, and the sword was shining with golden light.

"Solved." Andy Lau said lightly, then put away the sword.

Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief and walked forward to check on the black figure lying on the ground. He saw that he had lost consciousness, and his chest was pierced by Andy Lau's sword, and blood was dripping.

"This is the fate of the Dark Cult." Andy Lau said coldly, "Remember, the safety of the academy is the responsibility of each of us."

Qin Feng nodded, and had a new understanding of Andy Lau's strength. He knew that there were many strong people hidden in the academy, and the existence of these strong people was to protect the growth of these young students.

"Thank you, Director Liu." Qin Feng said sincerely.

Andy Lau smiled and said, "You're welcome. It's my duty to protect you. Well, let's go back. The party is still going on."

Qin Feng and his companions followed Andy Lau back to the banquet hall. Their mood became heavier because of the battle just now, but it also strengthened their determination to practice.

The laughter at the banquet rang out again, and Qin Feng looked at his companions, and a warm feeling rose in his heart. He knew that no matter how difficult the future would be, with the company of these companions and strong men, they would be able to overcome all difficulties and welcome a brighter future.
