I started by controlling his master, and the protagonist begged me to slow down my kicking.

After leaving Biluo Palace, Cheng Ran arrived at the Sword Platform of Wenjian Peak.

According to the rules set by Gong Yueli, the disciples of Wenjian Peak must practice their swordsmanship at the sword platform every day starting at Chenshi (7-9 AM).

That's why you're guaranteed to see Ye Chen as long as you come to Jianping.

as predicted.

On the sword platform, a young man was constantly wielding his sword.

Sweat had soaked through his sword-wielding shirt, as if he had been practicing for several hours, but his face remained resolute.

Just by looking at his hard-working and diligent appearance, he has the air of a protagonist.

Clearly, he is the third junior brother, Ye Chen!

However, when Cheng Ran saw him, an inexplicable anger rose in her heart.

This brings us back to the incident a few days ago when he and the demoness were discussing swordsmanship in a small grove of trees. Normally, no disciples would pass by there.

According to the plan, all he had to do next was say that he had defeated the demoness in a direct confrontation.

They could then openly and legitimately receive the Holy Land's rewards.

But Ye Chen's luck was truly incredible!

He was baffled and went to urinate in that grove of trees.

Then he happened to see the scene where he had killed the demoness by absorbing her essence.

Moreover, after seeing this, he ran straight to the Holy Land Elder to report it without even putting his pants on properly.

He even brought in his senior sister Mu Yunxi, who had long disliked him, as an outside helper.

Ultimately, this led to Gong Yueli and the elders jointly sentencing him to confinement.

But that's not all.

What's even more fucked up is.

Ye Chen also received a Foundation Establishment Pill for his meritorious report.

That's really fucking his mom's fault.

You idiot!

Cheng Ran let out a long breath and then walked towards Ye Chen.

.......

Meanwhile, Ye Chen, focused on practicing his swordsmanship, didn't notice Cheng Ran at all.

He simply kept his eyes fixed on the wooden stake, focusing all his attention on wielding the sword in his hand.

"Hey, ha!"

The sword struck down, but only a shallow crack was left on the specially made wooden stake.

"Still can't do it...?"

Ye Chen clenched his fists, asking himself a question in his heart.

"Young friend, don't give up."

Just then, an old voice suddenly rang in my ears.

The sound came from the unremarkable ring on his hand, and only he could hear it.

However, Ye Chen's expression did not look good when he heard this voice:

"Hehe, Mr. Fu, it's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering."

"Young friend, don't be in such a hurry."

Inside the ring, the old man called Elder Fu spoke in a very calm voice:

"You're just holding a grudge against me for absorbing three years of your cultivation, aren't you? Relax, I told you that day that I would definitely make it up to you."

"I am a Nascent Soul Realm expert, do you think I'm lying to you?"

"snort!"

Ye Chen actually knew that Elder Fu really wanted to repay him.

If Elder Fu were truly an evil person, he would have already used that wisp of divine soul to seize his body, which was at the Qi Refining Realm.

"But my physical constitution is damaged now, you can't let me practice swordsmanship here!"

"Why not?"

Old Master Fu's voice was tinged with laughter, as if he had recalled something pleasant, and he asked in return:

"Which great master hasn't undergone countless trials and tribulations?"

"Besides, you've earned praise from that beautiful master for your diligent sword practice, which must have made you incredibly happy..."

"You're talking nonsense!"

Ye Chen paused in his movements, and his brow twitched involuntarily.

Although he denied it verbally, the old man was right. He did indeed have some different feelings for Gong Yueli, the beautiful master who had taken him in.

However, it was admiration, gratitude, and respect!

It's definitely not a secret crush.

It's definitely not because his master's beauty always makes him unable to take his eyes off him!

That was his master! How could he possibly have any rebellious thoughts?

He just wanted to reclaim his title as a genius, and then stand openly by his master's side, fighting alongside her!

"Alright, alright."

Old Master Fu interrupted Ye Chen's thoughts, for he understood the affairs of young people.

He said seriously, "I'll stop teasing you, kid. In fact, I've calculated that you'll encounter an opportunity soon!"

"What?!"

Ye Chen was taken aback upon hearing this, his eyes widening with excitement.

Opportunities are crucial to his path of cultivation!

Given the right opportunity, he could absolutely catch up with his former self who was once the center of attention and return to his peak!

He asked with unusual excitement, "Where is that opportunity?"

"I don't know about that, but judging from your luck, young friend, you should be able to meet him within the next few days."

Master Fu explained, but with each sentence, his voice grew softer:

"Alright, it's about time for this old man to retire. Good luck, young friend."

Until finally, the sound disappeared.

The ring also regained its dullness.

"Tch! That old man just likes to leave things unsaid..."

However, Elder Fu is a powerful figure in the Nascent Soul Realm, and Ye Chen trusts his judgment.

"A stroke of luck, huh? Okay!"

He secretly vowed to find that opportunity, and then soar to great heights, making those who looked down on him regret it!

However, the words had barely left his mouth.

But a mocking yet familiar voice rang out from behind:

"Junior Brother Ye, instead of practicing your sword properly, what are you muttering to yourself about?"

"Cheng Ran..."

Ye Chen turned around abruptly, but when he saw Cheng Ran, he couldn't believe his eyes.

That's impossible...

He clearly reported Cheng Ran. According to the Holy Land's regulations, a murderer who steals sexual essence should be imprisoned.

Moreover, ever since Cheng Ran was summoned to Biluo Palace by his master...

He was never seen again within the entire Wenjian Peak.

He couldn't possibly hide in the Azure Palace.

What exactly happened?

However, even though Ye Chen couldn't understand it at all, he didn't intend to ask.

After all, Cheng Ran always mocked him as a good-for-nothing, and he didn't want to talk to such a clueless jerk.

He sheathed his sword at his waist:

"none of your business!"

But unexpectedly, Cheng Ran on the other side did not make any sarcastic remarks this time.

Cheng Ran simply nodded slightly.

It seemed as if they didn't care about Ye Chen at all.

As for why...

Cheng Ran didn't want to be a brainless blondie who only knew how to mock.

That kind of thing can be left to passersby.

Besides, he still needs Ye Chen as a tool to help him find opportunities today, so it's right to be cunning and manipulative.

He said to himself:

"Junior Brother Ye, Master has given us a task."

"She said that since Senior Sister Mu went into seclusion, she hasn't inspected the peak for a long time, and she asked us to take a walk around there."

"What...?"

Ye Chen frowned.

He would be absolutely happy to patrol the peak with his senior sister or master.

But it was Cheng Ran.

He had long vowed to slap Cheng Ran in the face once he became stronger, and he couldn't wait to tie Cheng Ran to a tree and flick his penis!

But this was his master's order, and he couldn't refuse...

After a long pause, Ye Chen reluctantly said:

"Tch, let's go then."

......

The two set off immediately and soon patrolled the rear peak.

The back peak of Wenjian Peak is rarely visited, with lush and verdant forests, making it the most secluded place in the entire Wenjian Peak.

It's perfect for field battles; that's where Cheng Ran and the demoness fought.

However, when they passed a cave, Cheng Ran's expression suddenly changed.

Why is the spiritual energy here so abundant?

If you calm your mind and sense it, you'll find that the cave exudes a majestic spiritual energy.

He exudes an aura of authority without needing to be angry.

Ye Chen also noticed something was wrong. He walked to the cave entrance and found a sealing talisman pasted on the stone wall, its color faded and worn.

He recalled what Elder Fu had said and had a vague feeling that this was an opportunity!

"Senior Brother Cheng, shall we go in and take a look?"

"Can."

Upon entering the cave, the mountain path was initially rugged and narrow, but after a hundred steps, it suddenly opened up into a bright and spacious area.

But as the two ventured deeper into the road, they discovered it was a dead end.

No, that's not entirely true.

Because what blocked their view was not a stone wall, but a hidden door.

A lone lamp hung on the door, casting a dim yellow light that swayed in the breeze blowing into the cave.

Ye Chen's eyes were shining, and his hands were trembling with excitement.

It must be an opportunity!

Mr. Fu was right!

He rubbed his nose and said, feigning seriousness, "There's a ghost here. I think we should go in and take a look."

Having said that, he rushed forward and was about to push open the stone door in front of him.

But just as he took a step forward, he felt something trip him up and fell to the ground in pain.

Touching his burning buttocks, Ye Chen looked at the ground in the light.

It turned out that Cheng Ran had tripped him by sticking out his foot!

Moreover, Cheng Ran was standing with his hands behind his back, looking down at him without any intention of apologizing.

"Look, look, look at your head!"

"Such an important matter, one of us is at the Qi Refining Realm and the other at the Foundation Establishment Realm, can we even understand it?"

"Go to Biluo Palace immediately and ask your master to come and handle this matter!"
