"It's a deal!"

Sigh!

"What an insidious kid you are, Little Comrade! You probably already know that I can't refuse this job. So, you deliberately said that to get me to accept your job! By the way, do you have any other conditions for this job?" Chen-Bing could not help sighing. He knew that Zheng-Fu purposely said that to encourage him to agree. And he also knew that building such a secret room had to have other conditions as well.

"The conditions are not difficult. I want you to find only trusted people to join your team. Because I want it to be the utmost secret. I'll use my house improvements to obscure people's eyes, but my main task is to build this secret cultivation room. I trust you, Master Chen-Bing! And I think you won't let me down. As for the price, it's up to you to offer. I'm willing to pay at any price!"

Zheng-Fu's conditions were not complicated. He simply asked Chen-Bing to help find truly trustworthy craftsmen to work together to build a secret training chamber for him. As for the price, Zheng-Fu was willing to pay without limit, leaving it entirely up to Chen-Bing to decide.

"All right! This matter is very easy. Everyone in my team can be trusted. As for the price, I'll go and evaluate it at the site. By the way, where is the place you want me to build?" Chen-Bing replied confidently. He believed in the honesty of his team members.

"This is the map to my house. It might be a bit far from the capital. So if you charge more, I don't mind," said Zheng-Fu as he took out a copy of his mountain map and handed it to Chen-Bing.

Huh?

"Are you staying on this mountain? Oh! You're awesome, Little Comrade. There aren't many people who have their own mountain. Most of them are famous people within this sect, or only the elite disciples of the sect, or the elders. Even a large clan can only own one mountain per clan. Who exactly are you?!"

When Chen-Bing looked at the map, he immediately realized that Zheng-Fu's residence was a mountain. And he knew that someone who had his own mountain like this must be an extraordinary person.

"I'm just a disciple of Heavenly Command Sect Academy. There's nothing more special than that. All right! I still have errands to run. Regarding the things that we talked about today, I hope that you'll not tell anyone. Especially a woman with good looks. If she comes to you and asks, don't tell her anything!" Zheng-Fu immediately excused himself. And before leaving, he emphasized to Chen-Bing that he must keep the matter top secret. Especially for Xiao-Yue, who might come here, it was absolutely forbidden to tell.

"You don't have to worry. I'll never tell anyone about this. We, Ten Thousand Mechanisms Shop, never disclose customer secrets to anyone. Unless the customer wants to tell them!" Chen-Bing replied with a serious expression.

"Thank you very much! Then, meet me at my mountain tomorrow!" Seeing Chen-Bing reply so confidently and earnestly, Zheng-Fu did not worry about it anymore. He then thanked Chen-Bing and left the Ten Thousand Mechanisms Shop.

Zheng-Fu then immediately headed towards the Sky Thunder-Heavenly Star Clan by riding Shi-Ling, the purple-winged lion.

Flap!!!

Ten minutes passed...

At the entrance of the Sky Thunder-Heavenly Star Clan.

Thud!!!

"Stop! This is the territory of the Sky Thunder-Heavenly Star Clan. Who are you and what are you doing here?" a guard watching the entrance of the Sky Thunder-Heavenly Star Clan shouted upon seeing Zheng-Fu riding a purple-winged lion and landing.

"I'm Zheng-Fu, Young Master Lan-Ye-Liu's comrade. I came here today to see Young Master Lan-Ye-Liu," Zheng-Fu politely replied to the guard.

"Young Master Lan-Ye-Liu's comrade? What's your name again?" The guard thought for a moment before asking Zheng-Fu again.

"My name is Zheng-Fu. I'm Brother Lan-Ye-Liu's Junior Disciple!"

"Oh! Then, you wait here first. I'll report to Young Master," the guard nodded and told Zheng-Fu.

"Thank you so much, Brother!" Zheng-Fu still had the same polite expression. And he smiled at all the guards there. His actions made all of them feel good about him because usually the people who came here would look at them with slight contempt or speak intimidatingly. Very few people had a polite demeanor like Zheng-Fu.

Five minutes passed...

"Younger Brother Zheng-Fu!"

At that moment, a shout of joy sounded from behind the Sky Thunder-Heavenly Star Clan entrance. The owner of the voice was none other than Lan-Ye-Liu.

"Younger Brother Zheng-Fu, you finally come. Do you know? I've been looking for you for the past three months. Where did you go?" When Lan-Ye-Liu arrived, he immediately shot Zheng-Fu a dozen questions because, for the past three months, he had been looking for Zheng-Fu in almost every corner of the sect.

"I cultivated in isolation for three months. By the way, do I disturb you today?"

"Not at all! It's good that you came today. Because Elder Pao-Da and Elder Chou-Bing were here too. They also want to meet you. Well! Let's go inside. If my father and the elders find out that you've come, they'll be very happy," said the young man. He could not wait to bring Zheng-Fu into his clan to meet his father, who was talking with Pao-Da and Chou-Bing.

"All right! Let's go in," Zheng-Fu nodded and agreed before he let the young man lead the way.

The fact that Lan-Ye-Liu came out to greet Zheng-Fu at the front gate, showed a very close relationship with him, and also said that his father or the current clan leader was waiting for him caused all the guards at the gate to stand still with their mouths agape because they did not think Zheng-Fu would be such an important person.

In the great hall within the main manor of the Sky Thunder-Heavenly Star Clan...

"Today, I'm very happy that the two of you came to visit me. But what a pity that the young man didn't come. I've always made my son look for him. But he hasn't found him yet," said a middle-aged man sitting on a large chair in the middle of the hall in a calm and deep tone.

"We want to meet him too! We came here today thinking that your son should have found Little Comrade Zheng-Fu. Unfortunately, he still hasn't been found!" Chou-Bing replied. He came here to ask about Zheng-Fu's news as well.

"I visit his tavern often. But the shopkeeper said he didn't meet with Little Comrade either!" Even Pao-Da felt sad because he still had a lot to discuss with Zheng-Fu.

"Never mind! I believe he'll definitely come back. And I've continually commanded my son to look for him. If I get news of him I…"

Creak!!!

"Father!"

"I brought Younger Brother Zheng-Fu now, sir!"

But before Lan-Fu-Jin, the Sky Thunder-Heavenly Star Clan Leader, could finish speaking, there was a loud sound of the door opening, and Ye-Liu's shout suddenly sounded. It caused Pao-Da and Chou-Bing to immediately stand up.

"Respect, Clan Leader Lan-Fu-Jin, Elder Pao-Da, Elder Chou-Bing, and all Elders, sir!" Zheng-Fu followed behind and stopped near Lan-Ye-Liu, clasped his hands above his chest, and greeted everyone politely.

"Little Comrade Zheng-Fu!"

"Little Comrade!"

"Young Master Zheng-Fu!"

"Zheng-Fu!"

Pao-Da, Chou-Bing, Lan-Fu-Jin, and Lan-Qing-Qi even exclaimed Zheng-Fu's name at the same time. Everyone wanted to meet Zheng-Fu, but no one knew where he had gone. They had not thought that today he would come to see them by himself.

"Young Master Zheng-Fu, why didn't you tell Lan-Ye-Liu first that you would come so we could arrange a feast to welcome you?" Lan-Fu-Jin asked politely. He changed his face back to how it was before.

"Please don't trouble yourself, Clan Leader Lan-Fu-Jin. I'm just an ordinary person who isn't famous or important. It doesn't even have to be a welcome party. Besides, I came today because I promised Brother Lan-Ye-Liu that I would come, so I can't go wrong with my words!" Zheng-Fu hurriedly rejected the feast because he did not want it to be a big deal. He had only come because of a promise made to Lan-Ye-Liu.

Ah!

"How can we do that, Younger Brother? I've already told you that Father and I will hold a thank-you feast. We'll never go wrong with our words either. Since you came today, then stay here one night, and tomorrow we can start the feast." Lan-Ye-Liu thought that he should hold Zheng-Fu on for another day so that they had time to prepare the feast.

"Don't do that, Brother Lan-Ye-Liu! I'm an easygoing person; I don't like anything that big. If you want to have a feast to thank me, then we can find a good place to sit and sip liquor and have a normal meal. Or find a place where we can perform the martial techniques to exchange our knowledge. I think someone would want to get a place like that," Zheng-Fu hurriedly refused Lan-Ye-Liu's thought. But he had an opinion that this time he should preserve the kindness and friendship of the Sky Thunder-Heavenly Star Clan members. He, therefore, offered a simple way for them to discuss their opinions because there seemed to be some people who wanted to ask him something.

"If we can get that, that's great. If you don't mind, I would like you to take a look at my Sky Thunder-Heavenly Star Sword Skill stances. Which one is better this time and last time?" When Zheng-Fu finished speaking, a middle-aged man, Lan-Ze-Ke, suddenly spoke up. He had always thought that Zheng-Fu would be able to help guide him to improve his Sky Thunder-Heavenly Star Sword Skill once again because he felt stuck in something.

"Why do you have to let Young Master Zheng-Fu take a look at it!? I can take a look at it for you, Third Brother!" Lan-Fu-Jin asked, curious as to why his younger brother had to let Zheng-Fu look at it, despite him and the clan's members being able to help him as well.

"Umm... That is, I..."

"Maybe it's because Master Lan-Ze-Ke wants to perform the Sky Thunder-Heavenly Star Sword Skill, which is a clan-specific skill, for Little Comrade Zheng-Fu to see. Even I was also thinking of performing my newly invented attack stance of the Sacred Divine Fortress Clan before Little Comrade!"

But while Lan-Ze-Ke was looking for an explanation, Pao-Da added to help him because he knew that Lan-Ze-Ke had also received advice from Zheng-Fu.

Oh!

"Yes, sir! It was exactly what Master Pao-Da said!"

Hmm!
