I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1342: After the Disaster

Astonishment.

Total astonishment!

Upon grasping the horrifying reality, the young woman was so terrified that she couldn't form a full sentence!

Gazing into Yi Feng's starry eyes, she sensed she had come across a being even more fearsome than the tales suggested. A mere look caused her entire frame to shudder, her complexion draining to the whiteness of paper!

This was beyond her wildest expectations.

The seemingly weak scholar appeared in her view as an utterly dreadful presence. He hadn't stirred an inch, yet he had utterly robbed her of all resistance. She couldn't even rise to her feet.

In comparison to this man, the Martial Spirit realm amounted to mere insects.

How utterly frightening!

This individual...

Was it possible he was a Martial Emperor?!

Chen Yuxin refrained from delving deeper; her mind started to hum loudly.

Recalling her previous deeds and the haughty remarks she had uttered, waves of remorse flooded her heart like a torrent.

Those starry eyes.

She no longer had the nerve to meet them head-on, not even mustering the boldness for a quick peek. She remained rigidly seated, her breath nearly stopping!

Witnessing the girl utterly stunned.

Calmness at last settled under the ancient locust tree. Yi Feng ignored her completely. As in their initial encounter, he resumed pouring and tasting his tea, relishing the serene peace he deserved.

After a few sips of tea.

He gathered his tea utensils, rose unhurriedly, and wandered off at a relaxed pace.

The elegant white-clad silhouette floated away, his detached voice lingering in the air.

"The children should have arrived at the academy. I am going to teach my class now, so I will not keep you company any longer."

"After this class is over, you may leave."

The gentle, unhurried tone resonated like tolling bells at dawn and dusk.

Chen Yuxin appeared to awaken abruptly, the fear in her chest easing somewhat. Still, she remained immobile, speechless. It felt like she was trapped between realms, her soul wrapped in enduring remorse.

She stayed rigidly in place for a prolonged period, her gaze vacant and dull.

Roughly an hour passed.

The town mayor, the elderly clan leader, and several guards drew near.

Observing the young lady seated solo with a frosty demeanor, they assumed she was displeased. Worried about poor timing, the pair paused briefly before steeling themselves and presenting the roster with outstretched hands.

"Reporting to the young lady."

"Here is the conscription roster for our Qinghe Town. They are all able-bodied men of the right age. Please look it over, young lady."

The duo lingered in tense anticipation for moments, yet silence prevailed.

They glanced down and shared subtle looks, the strain in their gazes mounting. They couldn't decipher this young lady's mood whatsoever and didn't dare rise without leave, opting instead to bow and await in silence.

After several more moments of waiting, no response came.

Doubt crept into their expressions. Deep frustration gnawed at them inwardly, resenting her erratic disposition yet too afraid to voice it.

Noticing this, the guards wisely advanced, inclined in respect, and sought instructions.

"Miss."

"That man from just now, do you need us to capture him and bring him back? Whether he is willing or not, as long as you give the order, miss, we will definitely tie him up and bring him back to Ye City!"

Having voiced these sycophantic lines, the guards held their bowed positions quietly. As insiders, they grasped her intentions more keenly. Convinced their praise had struck true, a subtle hope flickered in their eyes.

Yet, after an extended wait.

Chen Yuxin showed no response.

This time, even the guards traded puzzled stares, utterly perplexed. They believed they had some insight into the young lady's psyche, but evidently, she remained inscrutable. She was indeed profound and unpredictable.

The group persisted in their bowed stances while waiting. The atmosphere grew intensely uncomfortable. All bore faces of profound reverence and refrained from speaking further.

The rigidly perched Chen Yuxin grew even more distressed.

Her bright eyes brimmed with iciness.

These fools actually plotted against that figure?

Wouldn't this invite catastrophe upon Ye City?!

As her anxiety peaked, a distant bell tolled softly from the mountain base.

"Dong, dong..."

Instantly, her body's blood and qi flowed anew, as though she had reentered the worldly plane!

She leaped to her feet, shock etched on her features. She examined her arms and legs, her confused eyes quivering without cease.

Her abrupt action startled the onlookers into deeper bows. All anticipated an outburst of fury!

The mayor and old clan chief inclined their heads in obeisance, their minds gripped by unease.

Unexpectedly.

Chen Yuxin uttered not a single additional phrase. In a chilly tone, she commanded the guards to depart swiftly. Before they could follow, the column of black-armored troops had already exited Qinghe Town.

Staring at the receding cavalry raising clouds of dust in their haste, the pair lingered at the entrance with bewildered countenances.

The old clan chief turned back in confusion and murmured softly.

"Mayor, why did she leave in such a hurry? Could it be that we did something wrong again and offended this young lady?"

The mayor shared the bewilderment, clutching the roster tightly and questioning everything.

"I do not know either..."

"I think our etiquette was comprehensive; we should not have offended her. This young lady truly has a weird temper and is hard to serve. I do not know why, but she did not even ask for the conscription roster. It is as if this matter of joining the army has just been brushed over?"

Upon hearing this, the old clan chief's eyes narrowed faintly, he twirled his beard, reflected deeply, and reminisced.

"Hmm..."

"If this old man saw correctly, when that Miss Chen entered her palanquin, a trace of panic seemed to flash in her eyes. Presumably, there might be some major event in Ye City. Aside from a major incident concerning Ye City, this old man really cannot imagine what else could make such a figure lose her composure in nervousness."

At these words, the mayor nodded approvingly, enlightenment dawning in his gaze.

"So that is how it is..."

"To my shame, I did not notice such details at all. It is still Brother Wei who is so observant. I am filled with the utmost admiration!"

The pair expressed their sentiments at length.

As the dust from the cavalry faded and peace returned beyond the town, they at last exhaled a deep, relieved breath.

"No matter what, our Qinghe Town has temporarily escaped a disaster. We were lucky this time, but who knows what will happen next time. Let us just hope that Ye City is safe, and that the commoners in the surrounding area can live and work in peace from now on!"

"This crisis seems to have passed for the time being..."
