After Dong-Ren-Qia's group walked away, the soldiers that surrounded his group began to get back in line. Dong-Tu remained still and looked at Dong-Chen with a warm eye…

"Uncle…"

"You don't have to say anything. But you should leave the city as soon as you can for your safety. Take your friends with you too. I can only do this much for you. It's too bad for me that you've been gone for so many years. You're now a grown young man.

Your mother would be very proud of you." Dong-Tu cut in to stop Dong-Chen from saying anything further. He suggested Dong-Chen and the group get out of the city because he was certain that Dong-Ren-Qia would come back for them…

"I don't think I can do that, uncle. I can only leave when my young master leaves." Dong-Chen rushed to explain before pointing his finger at Zheng-Fu, who was waiting for him nearby…

Dong-Tu had been curious about Zheng-Fu the first time Dong-Chen mentioned him. He wanted to know more about Zheng-Fu and how he got his nephew to work for him. But as he turned to look at Zheng-Fu, he felt Zheng-Fu's energy level, which made him exclaim…

"The ninth level of the Golden Core stage!?"

Dong-Tu's words startled Dong-Chen instantly. Then he got back to himself and turned to look at Zheng-Fu. He had to let out a wry smile out of shyness because he did not know Zheng-Fu's real energy level. He only knew that Zheng-Fu was very strong. Dong-Chen had recently reached the Golden Core stage, so it was impossible to know Zheng-Fu's real energy level…

Dong-Tu took a while before getting back to himself. Then he turned to look at Dong-Chen with a smile and said…

"Your young master is special. You're lucky that you get to work for him. I'm relieved for your mother. And you're at the first level of the Golden Core stage too?" Dong-Tu asked Dong-Chen with joy. He was happy for his nephew…

"Tee-hee! That's right, uncle. My young master helped me get to this point," Dong-Chen said out of shyness while scratching his head…

"Is that so? I see… Well, you should go. Your young master is waiting for you. I wish the best for you. And I hope we will see each other again." Dong-Tu had to get back to his duty, so he had to say goodbye to Dong-Chen with the utmost care. He felt sorry for not being able to help his nephew with anything…

"I wish the best for you too, uncle. See you again, sir." Dong-Chen was also sad that he did not have more time with his uncle. But he knew that both of them had their own duties to go back to…

Dong-Tu separated his way, so Dong-Chen went back to his group. He walked over to Zheng-Fu and cupped his fists with the utmost respect, saying…

"Thank you, Young master, for…"

"No need to say anything. Let's get going before it gets dark." Zheng-Fu waved his hand to stop Dong-Chen from saying anything further because he wanted to find something good to eat. He thought that the rest of the group would think the same way too…

After walking for a while, the group finally stopped at one of the taverns in the city. It was a medium-sized tavern, and it was full of people. More and more people came to this tavern because they gave full service from rooms to pleasure, which was the tavern's renowned service…

Rustle!

When the group got inside the tavern, Zheng-Fu, Dong-Chen, Xiao-Ming, Zhao-Ke, and Tian-Zhong looked for a table for all five of them. The rest also tried to get a table for themselves. Since there were about twenty of them in the group, they had to separate to other available tables. Zheng-Fu had Dong-Chen tell the worker what the group needed.

Dong-Chen asked the worker to bring them a set of food for each of their tables. Then he told the worker that the group needed one private room and two shared rooms…

The private room was for Zheng-Fu. The two shared rooms would be for the rest of the group. When the orders were placed, the group got back to chatting as usual. Zheng-Fu smiled while listening, the same thing he always did…

Not long after the order, the worker came back with food for everyone. The group started to eat because they were starving. It had been a long time since they got to eat this delicious food. Zheng-Fu encouraged them to order some more if they wanted to. He knew that one set of food should not be enough, judging from how starving they all looked…

Thud!

"Give the money to everyone in the group, Dong-Chen. I know they want to relax and enjoy the night," Zheng-Fu said while putting a bag of money on the table and then got back to enjoying the food…

Dong-Chen took the bag and opened it immediately. Inside the bag, he saw a large number of monster crystal coins. From what Zheng-Fu said to him, he knew that Zheng-Fu gave the group the money to get the pleasure service. It made him blush because he was still a virgin…

Grab!

"You're still a virgin, big brother! You must try it tonight. Hahaha!" Zhao-Ke also understood what Zheng-Fu meant. So, when he saw Dong-Chen blushing, he could not help but tease him. It made Dong-Chen even shyer…

"You!" Dong-Chen could not get back to Zhao-Ke because he actually had never tried the service, even though he was twenty years old…

Hahaha!

The group laughed at Dong-Chen's shyness, except for Zheng-Fu, who was busy finishing the dish quietly. He tried not to make eye contact with anyone because he had never tried the service either. He was close to having such an experience, but that was about it…

In one of the rooms at the Dong Clan…

"What did you just say? That kid came back to the city?"

"That's right, father. I met him by the city gates, so I intended to teach him a lesson, but Uncle Dong-Tu stopped me. That bastard even reviled you harshly before I left him too."

Dong-Ren-Qia rushed to tell his father about meeting Dong-Chen as soon as he got back to the clan. Dong-Ren-Qia's father was also Dong-Chen's. His name was 'Dong-Xi-Hu.' He was a captain who took care of the outer zone that was as big as half of In-See City. When he heard what his son told him, the man was so furious that he developed bulging veins all over his face…

"Tell me where that bastard is. I'll kill him!"

"I think they're at the Hundred Stars Tavern, father."

"Hundred Stars Tavern!?"

When Dong-Xi-Hu knew where Dong-Chen was, he ordered tens of soldiers to accompany him to the tavern. These soldiers were at the Golden Core stage. He especially picked these soldiers because he had heard from his son that Dong-Chen had reached the Golden Core stage.

He was startled to hear that, but he did not think that it was any problem because he had many soldiers who were at the Golden Core stage…

At the Hundred Stars Tavern, Zheng-Fu and the group were enjoying the food. The group had Zheng-Fu pay for everything. They felt like it was a wonderful night for them to let out their stresses after being in the forest with tons of men for a long time…

"I'm sorry, young master, for giving you trouble. I didn't expect to meet that Dong-Ren-Qia today," Dong-Chen said with guilt because he did not want to cause Zheng-Fu any trouble…

"Don't think too much about it. You're with me, so I'm not going to let anyone do anything to all of you. Just relax. And even though I don't know what really happened between you and that guy, I can roughly understand what it was. So, I'm not scared if they show up." Zheng-Fu replied to Dong-Chen calmly but warmly. His simple words consoled Dong-Chen deeply.

Dong-Chen wanted to thank him from the bottom of his heart. No one, except Uncle Dong-Tu, had ever been this nice to him since he was young…

Bang!

All of a sudden, the tavern's door was flung open by a group of soldiers. Tens of soldiers came in, followed by a middle-aged man who looked grim. Behind the man was Dong-Ren-Qia, who was completely arrogant and cared for no one…

"That's…!?"

Dong-Chen was shocked to see the middle-aged man because this man was his father. Then his eyes on him turned into hatred…

"That must be your father?" Zheng-Fu asked when he saw the middle-aged man before letting out a smile…

"Come on out, you bad son!?" Dong-Xi-Hu shouted for Dong-Chen when he walked into the tavern. Then he looked around before stopping his eyes at a table. He smiled cruelly and said…

"How dare you come back to this city? I told you to never come back here again!" Dong-Xi-Hu said while pointing his finger at Dong-Chen with an angry eye…

"Soldiers! Take that bastard to me! And put the rest in prison! If any of them resists, just kill them!"

"Yes, sir!"

When the soldiers heard the order, they charged Zheng-Fu and the group instantly. Dong-Ren-Qia let out an evil smile when he heard his father's order. He was glad to see Dong-Chen and his friends in trouble…

"That's Captain Dong-Xi-Hu, isn't it? Why is he here? And who is the bastard?"

The villagers and the people in the tavern were confused about what was happening. But when they saw Dong-Xi-Hu, they felt weak out of fear because the area was under his supervision. So, they turned to look at the group of young men that the captain was pointing his finger at, and they saw someone they remembered well…

*That is Dong-Chen, the other son of…"

Oops!

The man, who was about to finish the sentence, did not have a chance to do so when his friend tried to cover his mouth. His friend looked at him angrily…

"Are you crazy? Watch before you speak! Don't you see who's in front of you?"

The man's face turned pale instantly because he was very close to getting in trouble because of his words. His friends would be in trouble with him too. When he realized that, he forgot about what he wanted to say and looked at the group of poor young men instead…

"You guys and young master should not be in trouble because of me. They came for me."

"Don't say that, big brother. We're like family, so there's no chance that we'll leave you. If you have to go, then we'll go with you." Xiao-Ming stopped Dong-Chen before he could finish the sentence. He patted his chest to show how tight his connection with Dong-Chen was. The rest of the group nodded in agreement with him because they had been through life and death together…

Zheng-Fu did not say anything because he had already told Dong-Chen that he would help him in any case. That was because Dong-Chen chose to work with him, so he saw Dong-Chen as one of his family…

"Stay still, boys! If you don't, then you can't say that I didn't warn you!" one of the soldiers said while letting out an evil smile…

Sigh!

"How come it's so hectic today?! I thought I sneaked out to see something nice, but I got to see an adult trying to bully young men instead!?"

All of a sudden, everyone heard a loud sigh, followed by a sweet voice from one of the tables in the tavern. It was the voice of someone about seventeen to eighteen years old. The voice stopped the soldiers instantly. They turned to look at her instead. Zheng-Fu and the group, along with Dong-Xi-Hu and Dong-Ren-Qia, also turned to look at her…
