After Zheng-Fu brought Qi-Fu-Er into the Immortal Cave within his dimensional space, the girl kept walking along the wall as if she were shopping for jewellery. However, Zheng-Fu did not say anything because he understood that women liked to do this when they saw such beautiful things. And then, finally, they reached the depths of the cave.
Woooow!!!
"It's really beautiful. I've never seen anything as beautiful as this before!!" the girl said in a passionate voice and unconsciously extended her hand forward with her leg stepping out.
Grab!!!
"Wait, Qi-Er!"
"Huh...? What?" The girl turned around with a puzzled expression as Zheng-Fu called out to stop her.
"You shouldn't have walked in like that. You should choose the element that you…"
"I already knew about that... I have non-characteristic elemental spiritual energy. No matter what the element is, I can take it all!" The girl replied with a playful smile at Zheng-Fu before walking towards the centre of the various elemental spiritual stones; in other words, it was the well that Zheng-Fu used to absorb the energy.
Qi-Fu-Er's answer made Zheng-Fu's head clear. He never knew what kind of hidden elemental energy a girl had, and when he learned that the girl had the same one as him, he was relieved and did not say anything further. After a while, waiting for the girl to walk all over the cave, he said,
"You stay to cultivate here for some time, and I'll come to pick you up in the next three days."
Thud!
"And here are the necessary belongings. I have prepared everything for you. Is it still lacking something?" Zheng-Fu told the girl to cultivate here for three days, then he would come to pick her up, and, of course, he did not forget to bring some necessities for her, such as rice, clothes, and pyjamas. When she heard that, she just stood there in silence for a while before saying,
"Will you leave me alone?"
"…!!!"
The girl's question made Zheng-Fu startled. His face looked stunned. He had thought, at first, that he would encounter this question but then shook it off, for he had assumed that Qi-Fu-Er would not ask him like that anyway. But what he thought came true, so he was speechless.
"That's fine... It's alright, I understand. You can go, don't worry!"
"Well, I… Um... we can do it like this. I'd let the two fox monster beasts be your companions, alright? I noticed that you seem to be very close to them and that you like them a lot. Also, they could raise their level."
"Good! I like their tails because they are soft and fluffy, and they are also warm." The girl immediately agreed because she really liked the Brown Wind Fox Monsters' fluffy tails, and they seemed to like her as well, adding to Zheng-Fu's intention to increase their level now.
"Then in three days, I will come back to pick you up!" Zheng-Fu reached his hand out to grab the girl's chin, said in a sweet voice, and slowly walked towards the girl.
Wham!!!
"Stop! You always find a chance to take advantage of me!" The girl immediately pushed Zheng-Fu away before speaking with a fierce tone but a cute gesture.
Hehheh!
"Just a little bit... a little bit, let me? " Zheng-Fu said with a sad face.
"Not even a little bit!!!"
"Okay... Then I'll go, and I'll do it again next time, ha ha ha!"
"Crazy guy! You devil! Y... You opportunist!!!"
Before leaving, Zheng-Fu teased the girl again with a loud laugh and immediately flew out of the cave. As for the girl, when Zheng-Fu did that, her face suddenly turned red, shouting and cursing behind him. But inside her heart, she did not feel any fury or anger at him at all.
On the contrary, his words made her feel a lot better. As for Zheng-Fu, when he came out of the cave, he immediately left his space. Time had only passed for two hours; there were still many hours left before morning. So Zheng-Fu spent the rest of the time arranging something.
Ten lis outside the territory of the Tian-Tang Clan, on the towering tree, there was a group of ten black-robed men standing in disguise, gazing in the direction of the Tian-Tang Clan's entrance door. Each of them was at a high level on the Golden Core stage.
"Chief, why do we have to come to this rural family?" One of the black-robed men said with a puzzled expression that could only be expressed through his open eyes because the other parts of his face had been covered with a black cloth.
"You don't need to know about that... Just doing your task is enough!" said the black-robed man who was the chief. He did not turn to look at his underling because he was exploring the route and the number of guards who were guarding the entrances and various points of the clan. He simply replied indifferently.
"So, what kind of task is this?"
"You will... huh!?"
Grab!!!
But suddenly, another voice rang out as a figure appeared behind him without him realizing it. But it was too late as the black-robed chief prepared to turn around to see who it was because an outstretched hand grabbed its throat tightly before lifting his body.
A figure that appeared unexpectedly with a hand reaching out to grab the neck of the black-robed men's chief was Zheng-Fu. Something that he had to deal with was this thing. After he had come out of the dimensional space, he sensed a group of people who were secretly lurking around here, Zheng-Fu came out to check and found a group of black-robed men.
Ow!!!
"Just answer the question, and I will let you all go!" Zheng-Fu said, releasing the pressure on the elementary level of the Nascent Soul stage to press against the chief before asking, "Who sent you guys!?"
"E... e... even if you hire me... I... I won't tell you!" The black-robed chief immediately refused without any hesitation since he was trained to keep secrets.
"Is that so? Even if I hire you, you won't say? Oh... It's a pity that these ten intermediate-level stones can't hire you..." said Zheng-Fu, taking out one intermediate-level stone, looking down at it, then showing a regretful expression and shaking his head.
"Wait... wait!!! I'll tell you! I will!" When the black-robed chief saw the Qi energy stone in Zheng-Fu's hand, his eyes instantly lit up, causing him to forget that he was being strangled before he quickly agreed.
Thump!!!
"Well, if you just tell me who hired you, then I will immediately give you these stones." Zheng-Fu let go of the hand that grabbed the man's neck and relieved his pressure, allowing the black-robed chief to maintain balance. Then, he took out a bag of the Qi energy stone and showed it to them.
"Of course, Master... It's so simple. This matter's not difficult at all. The person who hired us was someone from the Mu Clan and the Jia Clan. They hired us to defeat the Tian-Tang Clan while…"
Slash! Slash! Slash!
"That's more than enough. No need to tell me the reason; I'm too lazy to listen! Sigh... Just human beings! They said they don't care about anything, but once they see the money, their mouths are all open."
After Zheng-Fu found out who was behind these people, he immediately killed those guys without them even realizing it. He did not need to let them go anyway. Besides, they already knew his identity; as long as someone gave them the money, they would say it all. So, Zheng-Fu killed all of them before retrieving their dimensional rings and treasure bags.
After returning to his room, Zheng-Fu immediately examined the items he had obtained from the black-robed men before exclaiming, "Wow! Not bad at all... They must be famous mercenaries. Considering the money and items they had, they must have taken quite a lot of work." Zheng-Fu was slightly shocked by the things he got from them.
All the items he obtained were hundreds of thousands of monster crystal coins. And there were also herbs, pills, weapons, two martial skills scripture scrolls, and general supplies. More importantly, the two martial skills scriptures he acquired were intermediate skills, which could tell how strong this group of black-robed men was.
"You guys, Mu Clan, Jia Clan! Wait and see. In the upcoming youth tournament, I, this guy, will make all of you aware of what is right to do and what is not!!!" Zheng-Fu snorted and muttered angrily, but he hid his emotions.
In a secret room...
"Do you think those people will succeed?" A middle-aged man spoke up among the group of people wearing hooded robes with face coverings.
"It must be successful. We have invested a lot in hiring them. Besides, this group of assassins is very famous. Each of them is at the high level of the Golden Core stage. No matter how great the Tian-Tang Clan is, they will lose quite a bit." The voice of an old man sitting opposite the man who had just spoken rang out.
"That's right... I hope this task will be successful."
"Sure, ha ha ha!!!"
Among these people were the elders representing the two clans that conspired to eliminate the Tian-Tang Clan. They had hired a good assassin from abroad, especially for this purpose. And the wages they had to pay for this work were not small at all. However, they did not know that the group of assassins they hired had already died at the hands of Zheng-Fu.
Back to Zheng-Fu's room...
After Zheng-Fu had dealt with everything, he immediately took out the two martial skills scriptures to see what skills they were. Because these two skills were the low level of intermediate stage skills, Zheng-Fu was very interested.
Flap!
Huh...!?
As soon as Zheng-Fu opened the first scroll, his face showed a shocked expression at once because it was an uncompleted ancient skill. When judging from the inside information, it could not even be called a battle skill. The alphabets inside were both extremely pale and faded, and there were also some missing parts.
But the only tactic that was left was already comparable to the low level of intermediate-stage skills.
"I'm wondering why it was a low level of intermediate-stage skill. That's because it's actually an ancient skill!!" Zheng-Fu spoke before keeping the first skill in place and continuing to open the second skill. After opening it, he put it back into his dimensional ring as well, with a happy smile on the corner of his mouth.
He considered that the skills he had acquired were at a pretty good level.
The first skill that Zheng-Fu learned was called 'Savage Fist Swallows the Sky.' And the second skill was 'Deceptive Shadow Sword.' At first, Zheng-Fu had to keep the first skill because it was not complete, and the second skill he would take to practice just in case he could improve it and then give it to Lang-Guang-Kuang and the rest of the squad to practice.
