"I'll go! I'll take on this task myself!"

"Young Miss!!!"

"Young Miss Xiao-Yue!!!"

At that moment, a young woman said in a sweet voice. She was actually the young woman in black that Zheng-Fu had met at the secret auction at the Nine Heavens Martial Arena and his Non-identify mountain.

"You want me to protect him, don't you? Therefore, I'll accept the duty of his protector. You guys can rest assured!" Actually, Xiao-Yue happened to pass by here, and she saw the five elders waiting for someone, so she took a peek.

Until she realized that the person the five elders were waiting for was the young man she had met. And out of curiosity, she eavesdropped and heard everything they were talking about, including the last sentence in which the elders said that they wanted her to protect Zheng-Fu.

"Err... We were just consulting. Didn't think to let Young Miss…"

"It's all right, Elder Gong-Jian. I've decided to accept this task. So please rest assured, everyone!" But the young woman still firmly insisted on her original answer.

"Then we have to entrust him to Young Miss Xiao-Yue as well. That kid's safety is very important. With Young Miss protecting him, we can feel relieved!" The First Elder said, after seeing that Xiao-Yue was determined to take on this duty.

"No problem, I'll do my best!"

Back to Zheng-Fu...

After Zheng-Fu departed from the Five Pillar Elders, he immediately headed towards Jiang-Long's residence. He did not know which house belonged to Jiang-Long. He asked a disciple who lived in a manor in the northern zone and went straight there. Jiang-Long's residence was located in the farthest part of this northern residential zone.

At Jiang-Long's residence...

"It's already been three months, Brother Tai-He! Brother Zheng-Fu hasn't returned yet. We should go find him. I was worried about him and wanted to see him!" Chang-Yue said impatiently. Since she had been waiting for Zheng-Fu for three months, she had yet to receive any news from him.

"Calm down, Chang-Yue. I think Master will be back soon," said Tai-He. He always tried to console and calm the little girl every time she was like this. But lately, it was not working because he had been saying this way too often.

"You say this every time. And it's already been three months! If Brother Zheng-Fu doesn't come back today, I'll go out and look for him myself!"

"And where is Little Angel going to look for me?"

At that moment, Zheng-Fu's voice sounded after Chang-Yue finished speaking.

Huh!?

"Master!"

"Brother Zheng-Fu!!!"

Thump!!! Thump!!! Thump!!!

"Brother is back! Brother is back!" When Chang-Yue saw that it was Zheng-Fu, she immediately ran towards him with a happy, smiling face.

"How are you? Are you stubborn during my absence?" Zheng-Fu was also very happy to see Chang-Yue's smile.

"Not at all, Brother! I've always been a good girl during your absence. If you don't believe me, you can ask Brother Tai-He. Right, Brother Tai-He?" She also forced Tai-He to help her speak with deadly eyes.

Umm!

"That's right, Master! Little Chang-Yue is a good girl and not stubborn at all. Not at all, sir!" Tai-He hurriedly helped Chang-Yue, but his tone at the end rose highly.

"Brother Tai-He!!!"

Ha ha ha!!!

"All right, Little Angel, now I'm back. You don't have to worry about me anymore. By the way, where is Senior Disciple Jiang-Long? Isn't he cultivating here?" Zheng-Fu reached out and patted her head before asking about Jiang-Long.

"Young Master Jiang-Long went out to cultivate at the Cultivation Tower, Master. After the Annual Disciple-Ranking Maneuver ended, Young Master Jiang-Long was successfully promoted to the ninth rank. And because of the move to ninth rank on the list, many people come to challenge the maneuver every day. At first, Young Master Jiang-Long accepted those challenges. But lately, it has become more and more, so he has..."

Hey!!!

"Jiang-Long, hurry pop your head out now! Today, I, Guang-Hong, will defeat you and take your ninth rank!" However, while Tai-He was speaking, a familiar young man's voice sounded out. He was Guang-Hong who was ranked thirteenth on the list and had fought Zheng-Fu and lost at that time.

"Did this bastard come again? Does he come here every day and isn't bored? Sigh!!!" Chang-Yue was displeased when she heard Guang-Hong's voice. Because this young man came here every day to challenge Jiang-Long to a maneuver. But because Jiang-Long was away, he went back and came again every day.

"Then shall we go out and welcome him?" In Zheng-Fu's eyes, Guang-Hong was now worth nothing, although Guang-Hong's level had increased from the last time.

"All right!!!"

After speaking, Zheng-Fu immediately took Chang-Yue and Tai-He out to the front of the house to welcome Guang-Hong who made an annoying yell.

Thump!!!

"Who is it that makes a noise in front of other people's houses like this? Oh! Is that Outer Disciple Guang-Hong that lost to me back then?" Zheng-Fu immediately greeted Guang-Hong cordially. However, his words might seem a little too cordial.

"You… you… you... Zheng-Fu!!?" When Guang-Hong saw Zheng-Fu's face, the arrogant expression that he had before suddenly disappeared and turned pale. "Zheng-Fu!!? How do you get here? And where is Jiang-Long? Call him out to fight me right now!" But before long, Guang-Hong regained his courage before showing another arrogant expression.

"Senior Disciple Jiang-Long is not here. So, you and your comrades should go back now. Standing and shouting to disturb other people like this is not good at all. Oh! Besides, your voice is so piercing that it annoys me a lot!" Zheng-Fu replied in a calm but deep-cutting voice.

"You! Damn! Who do you think you are? Guang-Hong, did you lose to this ugly face? Well! Today, your senior disciple will avenge you!" However, at that moment, another young man wearing an inner disciple robe stood behind him and spoke up before he stepped forward and acted like he was the winner and the most significant person there.

Huh?

"Are you going to deal with me? Just having an energy level at the eighth level of the Heavenly Foundation Building stage, do you think that you can defeat me? How ridiculous! Anyway, come on, if you wish! Show me what you can do with me?" When Zheng-Fu looked at this young man, he immediately knew the other party's cultivation level.

"You! Good! You got a sharp tongue, huh? Then don't regret it later!"

Yaaaaak!!!

[Impudence Sword Stance Skill]

Clank!!!

"That crazy bastard is definitely over! Senior Disciple has used his Impudence Sword Stance. After all, he has no way of escaping and will be crippled!"

"How arrogant of him! He's just an outer disciple, and he dared to oppose the inner senior disciple, so he has to face this!"

"This time, what do you think that person named Zheng-Fu will be like?"

"He would either have to be bedridden and healed or be crippled!"

"Ha ha ha! Fool Zheng-Fu, today I'll get revenge for what you did in that day's maneuver. No matter how talented you are, you won't be able to defeat my Senior Disciple!" Guang-Hong was very satisfied to see that Zheng-Fu was going to suffer a devastating defeat.

Both Guang-Hong and the people he had brought along thought that Zheng-Fu would have been seriously injured. And he would become crippled after the battle was over. But just as everyone was excited until their hearts stopped, Zheng-Fu, who had been standing still, stretched out his bare hand.

Blop!!!

"It's a good sword wave. But it's still not good enough to do anything to me!"

Cling!!!

Ah!!!

This caused the inner disciples and Guang-Hong's people to gasp. Because Zheng-Fu was able to use his bare hand to grab the Qi sword that was sent out from the Impudence Sword Stance and destroy it like it was a toy.

Yay!!!

"Brother Zheng-Fu is the most talented! Brother is the best!" Even Chang-Yue was excited. But she was confident that Zheng-Fu would be fine. And seeing that Zheng-Fu was able to grab the Qi Sword Wave and destroy it easily, her very cute smile immediately appeared, and she shouted with joy at the top of her voice.

"Master is so strong! He's very different from three months ago. This must be the result of Master's isolated cultivating!" Tai-He could not help but be dumbfounded. But he had already assumed that Zheng-Fu would become stronger after coming back from the isolated cultivation.

"Impossible! This is impossible! How could you do that?! That's my strongest stance. How could you just use your bare hand to destroy it?" Guang-Hong's senior brother shouted in disbelief before asking for a reason why it was like this, although he probably knew already.

"It's very easy to be like this because your abilities and mine are very far apart!"

Wooooooosh!!!

Argh!!!

Advanced Heavenly Golden Core stage cultivator!!!

Huh?

Advanced Heavenly Golden Core stage cultivator!!!

Hearing what the young man exclaimed about the true level of Zheng-Fu, the expressions of Guang-Hong and those following him instantly turned pale. Because the energy levels were too far apart, even if he had another ten inner senior disciples, they would not be able to help him.

"Senior Disciple Zheng-Fu, we were only joking with you, please don't mind us. We're going to get out of here now and never come back again. And this! My ten Heaven Core Created Divine Pills. Please accept it as a small favor, sir!" Seeing that the current situation was already bad, Guang-Hong's expression instantly turned to cringe. He took out all the Heaven Core Created Divine Pills he had and handed them over to Zheng-Fu as an apology.

Blop!!!

"If you spoke nicely from the start, it would've ended. But your friends must stay first. Because they haven't shown such sincerity as you!" Zheng-Fu immediately took ten Heaven Core Created Divine Pills and told him to go. But those who came with him could not go because they had not paid Zheng-Fu for his wasted time.

Oh!

"I'd be pleased to give all ten Heaven Core Created Divine Pills I have to Senior Disciple too!"

"That's right! We're pleased as well!"
