As dawn broke and the sun had not yet risen, a commotion arose from the servants' quarters...

"Get up and get to work, what are you sleeping for?"

"Anyone who sleeps in late doesn't get to eat..."

"Sleeping for so long, do you really think you're here to enjoy yourself?"

"A servant should act like a servant. Do you think you're some outer disciple?"

The shouts of hundreds of stewards echoed throughout the houses.

The servants, still half asleep, hurriedly got up and rushed out to line up without even washing up.

Although they were called menial disciples, their status was vastly different from that of outer disciples; they were essentially just servants doing the work.

Ye Chen vaguely heard some noises, woke up from his sleep, and reluctantly stretched, wanting to sleep a little longer...

"It's so noisy..."

He muttered something, opened his eyes, and suddenly froze.

Only then did he realize that he wasn't a bandit king in Black Cloud Stronghold, but rather a servant in the Azure Cloud Sect...

So what?

He came here to cultivate, not to work for others. He can simply refuse a salary...

Since discovering that he couldn't sense spiritual energy even if he found a cultivation technique, Ye Chen lost the idea of ​​continuing to work as a menial laborer.

He came here for the cultivation technique, and now that he's got it, why does he still need to do anything else?

Ye Chen yawned, then lay back down and continued his sweet dream...

In front of house number 1001...

Wang Hao's face turned ashen as he scanned the room, his expression grim.

"Why is one missing?"

"Is that kid still sleeping in there?"

He realized that the missing boy was the same kid he had disliked yesterday. A cold smile flashed through his mind as he decided to teach him a lesson to intimidate the rest of the servants.

One of the menial workers in the group looked up at Wang Hao and cautiously began to explain.

"Reporting to Steward Wang, he's not in the room; he didn't sleep there last night..."

"Not inside? Then where did this kid go?" Wang Hao's face darkened, and he frowned as he demanded.

He wondered if the kid had run away down the mountain overnight.

If that's the case, he really won't be able to settle personal scores under the guise of official business...

"Reporting to Steward Wang, he might be in the woods over there..." A lean young man suddenly spoke up, pointing to the woods not far away. "I saw him last night, it seemed like he thought the house smelled too bad, so he went over there..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Hao turned his head and looked over, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"You lot, go into the woods right now and find him. You have to find him, or none of you will get any food!"

Upon hearing this, the servants' expressions changed slightly, and they hurriedly ran towards the nearby woods, not daring to delay for even a moment.

Before long, a servant found Ye Chen, who was fast asleep.

"Manager Wang, the person is here..."

Upon hearing the shout, Wang Hao immediately strode over.

Upon entering the woods, he saw Ye Chen fast asleep on a large blue rock, and his face immediately darkened...

"Okay, okay, they're still sleeping..."

"Wake him up!"

Wang Hao roared angrily.

Before the servants could approach, Ye Chen, who was asleep, heard the noise and sat up alertly.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he looked up and met Wang Hao's sinister gaze, and frowned in displeasure.

"What's all the noise about? Can't a person get some sleep this early in the morning?"

Ye Chen muttered irritably.

Upon hearing this, Wang Hao's face instantly turned extremely ugly, and his eyes were fixed on Ye Chen.

"Kid, do you know who you're talking to?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen glanced at him and said with a disdainful expression.

"You're just a lowly manager, why are you acting so high and mighty? Anyone who didn't know better would think you were the sect leader of the Qingyun Sect..."

"You think you're so great just because we give you a little power? What are you doing acting so arrogantly in front of us?"

"I, the Great King, will not tolerate this menial task anymore..."

Now that he has cultivation techniques at his disposal, he can't possibly continue doing this menial work for even a day...

Upon hearing this, the way the servants present looked at Ye Chen changed...

This kid is too brave!

Are you out of your mind? How dare you speak to the manager like that?

Ye Chen had undoubtedly voiced the sentiments of many of the menial laborers, but with Wang Hao present, no one dared to utter a sound...

After all, they didn't have the courage to just quit like Ye Chen did.

Wang Hao's eyes were bloodshot with rage. He glared at Ye Chen with a ferocious expression, his spiritual energy surging around him, ready to explode at any moment...

"You're quitting?"

"The Qingyun Sect is not a place you can come and go as you please..."

"Now you have no choice..."

"I'd like to see how tough you are, daring to talk to me like that..."

He roared, and in a flash, he lunged at Ye Chen, raising his hand to deliver a palm strike...

A surge of spiritual energy roared out!

Seeing this, Ye Chen quickly dodged.

After last night's marrow cleansing and bone-strengthening, his body became lighter and faster than before...

Ye Chen easily dodged Wang Hao's palm strike, and his expression darkened.

"You're asking for it..."

Ye Chen snorted coldly and stopped being polite to Wang Hao.

The opponent is, after all, a cultivator; if the fight continues, he will inevitably suffer losses. We must act quickly to subdue him...

His gaze swept across the area, and Ye Chen immediately spotted an opening. Without hesitation, he lunged forward, clenching his fist and slamming it into Wang Hao's abdomen...

"Bang!"

"Snap!"

With just one punch, Wang Hao was sent flying like a cannonball...

While in mid-air, he spat out a mouthful of blood, crashing into the grass not far away. Several bones were broken, and he nearly suffocated...

The woods fell silent instantly...

The surrounding constables stared at Ye Chen as if they had seen a ghost, their faces full of disbelief.

They were all mortals without spiritual roots, and without any cultivation, they actually punched the steward, who was a cultivator, flying.

"Am I...am I seeing things?"

"Manager Wang... he flew out?"

"Holy crap, is this kid born with superhuman strength?"

"I heard that Steward Wang is at the fifth level of Qi Refining, how could he have been crippled by a single punch?"

"I must still be dreaming, am I?"

Ye Chen stood there stunned, looking down at his fist, equally shocked.

He is indeed born with superhuman strength, but he wasn't this strong before!

"Could it be that the pills I took last night are working again?"

After all, he hadn't sensed any spiritual energy yet, and was relying entirely on his own power.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen was overjoyed and couldn't wait to find a secluded place to continue taking the pills...

He looked up at the bushes not far away and walked straight over.

Wang Hao lay on a pile of weeds, coughing up blood. He struggled for a while but couldn't get up. As Ye Chen approached step by step, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes, and his previous arrogance vanished completely...

"No...don't kill me..."

"I promise I'll never do it again, please forgive me this time..."

Please!

Wang Hao was afraid that Ye Chen would kill him with one punch, so he hurriedly begged for mercy.

Seeing this, Ye Chen curled his lip in disdain, refrained from further violence, and instead squatted down to grope him...

His motto as a bandit was never to leave empty-handed!

They quickly found a familiar storage bag on Wang Hao...

"I'll keep this for you, no need to thank me..."

After saying that, Ye Chen got up and left...

Wang Hao: ? ? ?
