The Condor Heroes: The Quanzhen Sect has produced a vengeful master!

At this time, within the Quanzhen School.

Zhen Zhibing was in the room, his eyes were glazed, and he was drawing Little Dragon Girl on paper with a brush in his hand.

"Since our last parting, I have never had the chance to see Miss Long again..."

Zhen Zhibing murmured.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and he quickly put away his drawing paper.

"Enter!"

The one who arrived was a fourth-generation disciple.

"Master! There have been some unpleasant rumors circulating recently, saying that the Headmaster has decided to pass the position of future headmaster to you!"

The disciple was somewhat worried as he delivered the message.

"Master, do you think we should report this matter?"

When Zhen Zhibing heard his disciple say this, he was taken aback. Ma Yu hadn't told him anything. How did this rumor spread?

Just as he was about to say something, his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the corner of the portrait he had hidden on the table.

An idea involuntarily arose in my mind:

Let the rumors spread. If everyone supports Zhen Zhibing, maybe the sect leader will actually do it?

If he becomes the sect leader, then... then wouldn't he have a chance to be with Miss Long...?

The thought flashed through his mind, and his eyes flickered slightly.

"You may leave. I will handle this matter!"

Unbeknownst to him, Zhao Zhijing was also listening to his disciple's report on the other side, and he too dismissed his disciple.

However, his expression appeared extremely sinister.

"Zhen Zhibing...how can he compare to me!?"

"My martial arts skills are superior to his, and I started learning earlier! What makes him think he can do that??"

"You just wait, this time I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"

...

A small town at the foot of the mountain.

Wang Jiuling and Yang Guo led their horses, disguised as ordinary people, walking down the street.

Along the way, Yang Guo was like a fish that had seen water.

"Master! There are jugglers up ahead!"

"Master! There's a vendor selling candied hawthorns up ahead!"

Yang Guo, who was naturally wild, had been staying on Zhongnan Mountain for more than two months and was now extremely excited.

Wang Jiuling didn't stop him. They needed to find out about the bandits first before making any plans; there was no rush.

So Wang Jiuling took Yang Guo around the town for a day. After Yang Guo had had his fill of fun, Wang Jiuling had also found out some details.

"Master! Those thugs are really arrogant!! They're so brazen!"

After leaving the home of a farmer who had been murdered by bandits, Yang Guo was furious upon hearing the crying coming from the house behind him.

They inquired about the bandits' whereabouts along the way, and when they arrived at the edge of this town, they heard something:

Among the bandits was a master known as "The Flower Seeker Who Travels a Thousand Miles to Find Fragrance," who had committed several crimes in and around the town within a month.

They specifically targeted unmarried daughters of wealthy families, sneaking in at night to commit beastly acts.

Moreover, this person is extremely arrogant. He will inform you in advance before committing the crime, and you should obediently accept it. If he is in a good mood, he will only pick flowers. If you resist and dare to report to the authorities, he will kill you.

Wang Jiuling and Yang Guo learned that the Flower Guest was planning to make a move against the daughter of the wealthy Li family on the outskirts of town that night.

"Let's go check out Master Li's house! If we can catch that 'Flower-Dweller,' maybe we can find those bandits!"

Yang Guo had been itching for a fight for a long time. The two of them made their way to the house of the wealthy Li. After knocking on the door, a servant opened the door and peeked out.

Seeing that it was two teenagers, he said:

"Gentlemen, the Li family is not receiving guests today!" he said, and then turned to close the door.

Wang Jiuling quickly cupped his hands in greeting.

"I am a good friend of Master Li. I have come to visit you today. Please allow me to announce my name. My surname is Wang!"

As he spoke, Wang Jiuling took out a small piece of silver and handed it to the servant.

Upon hearing that the servant was a friend of the master and had money, the servant's eyes softened considerably.

"Hold on!"

Soon, the gate opened again, and servants came out to invite the two inside.

After entrusting the horse to a servant to watch over it, Wang Jiuling led Yang Guo into the Li residence.

They soon met Master Li.

The atmosphere inside the Li residence was oppressive, and Master Li's face was etched with a faint sorrow.

Upon seeing Wang Jiuling and Yang Guo, he looked them up and down and then bowed.

"You two young heroes claim to be my friends? Forgive my poor eyesight, but you two..."

The wealthy man, Li, spoke gently, but his face was full of doubt. Wang Jiuling cupped his hands in greeting, directly revealing his identity as a member of the Quanzhen Sect and stating his purpose.

Upon hearing Wang Jiuling's words, Master Li immediately understood.

"So you're a master from the Quanzhen School! My apologies for my lack of respect!"

He was very polite, and his smile broadened. "Please wait a moment, esteemed Taoist priests. I have already sent people to prepare a feast!"

The three arrived at the reception room and were served tea.

"These two Taoist priests are so young yet so handsome; they truly deserve to be called masters of the Quanzhen School!"

Master Li smiled and personally served tea.

"I wonder if the other Quanzhen masters have arrived as well..."

Wang Jiuling smiled and shook his head.

"That's right, this time only my master and I came down the mountain!"

Upon hearing this, Master Li nearly dropped his teacup.

"What? There are only two Taoist priests?"

Wang Jiuling nodded, and Li Yuanwai's expression changed.

"This...this...this!"

"Oh, you two Taoist priests, it's not that I don't trust you! It's just that that lecherous thief is rumored to be highly skilled in martial arts and kills without blinking an eye!"

"If you are no match for them, you will likely lose your lives for nothing!"

Wang Jiuling had no choice but to explain that he was a third-generation disciple of Quanzhen and possessed some martial arts skills, but the wealthy man Li no longer believed him.

After arguing for a long time, and seeing that it was getting dark, Master Li had no choice but to arrange a guest room for them.

Inside the guest room, Yang Guo peered out of the door, then turned back and spoke indignantly.

"Master! There are two servants lurking suspiciously outside the courtyard!"

Wang Jiuling, sitting cross-legged on the couch with his eyes closed, heard this and said:

"Those were sent by Master Li to monitor us, you don't need to worry about them!"

Yang Guo became even angrier upon hearing this.

"We came here to help him! This is so disloyal!"

Wang Jiuling opened his eyes, smiled, and shook his head.

"It's not his fault!"

He slowly began to explain to Yang Guo:

"That lecherous thief is ruthless and vicious; if we resist, he will kill us. And to make matters worse, he's highly skilled in martial arts!"

"Didn't you notice today that the Li family didn't report it to the authorities? They must be afraid of angering that lecherous scoundrel."

Yang Guo nodded in agreement, finding Wang Jiuling's words reasonable. Wang Jiuling then added:

"We are both young and came alone, so Master Li naturally didn't think we could deal with the lecherous thief. He just didn't openly look down on us."

He gestured towards the door.

"It's getting late, and besides, he's concerned about the reputation of the Quanzhen Sect, so he can't just send us away. He can only arrange for us to stay and have his servants watch over us to prevent us from running away tonight and angering the lecherous thief!"

Yang Guo scratched his head and finally understood.

"Master, we've been underestimated! We should have shown him our skills earlier! Let him see what we've got!"

As he spoke, Yang Guo threw two punches at the air.

Wang Jiuling shook his head with a smile.

"Why waste our energy? As long as we can stay in the Li residence and listen to the commotion, those two servants can't stop us."

Yang Guo scratched his head, feeling that his master was really unusual.

She's the same age as him, but her mentality is completely like that of an elder.

Perhaps it was for this reason that Yang Guo, with his unruly personality, was willing to call out "Master".
