"Old Hong."

Huang Yaoshi's gaze fell coldly on Hong Yaoshi. "A spot has suddenly become available in my courtyard. It seems this lad will have no choice but to become my disciple."

Zhu Xiaobao, standing to the side, lowered his head, looking resentful, but dared not utter a sound.

Shen You turned her gaze and stared intently at Pharmacist Hong.

He couldn't disobey Huang Yaoshi at all, so he could only place his hopes on the old man.

But then Pharmacist Hong hesitated for a moment, then sighed, "In that case... congratulations, Elder Huang."

A chill ran through Shen You's heart in an instant.

He actually respected Pharmacist Hong quite a bit, but this gentle old man had disappointed him countless times.

"Damn it!"

Shen You's gaze then fell upon Huang Yaoshi, whose face was grim.

Does knowing that there's a dead end ahead mean you have no choice but to jump in?

Shen You felt the pressure from Huang Yaoshi was like a mountain pressing down on him.

At that moment, he felt a bit of empathy for the Great Sage who was suppressed under the Five Fingers Mountain by the Buddha.

Huang Yaoshi also looked at Shen You.

"Can you still stand up?"

He asked coldly.

Shen You snorted coldly, not wanting to show weakness in front of Huang Yaoshi. Even though his shoulder was split open and blood was still flowing, he gritted his teeth and slowly got up from the ground.

"very good!"

Huang Yaoshi nodded and said indifferently, "Kneel down before me!"

"Huh?" Shen You's eyes widened.

"Kneel down and acknowledge me as your master!" Huang Yaoshi glanced at Shen You sideways. "Although you can't be considered my disciple, you can still call me Master Huang!"

"You son of a bitch!"

Shen You laughed in extreme anger:

"You had me beaten half to death, and now you expect me to call you Master Huang?!"

"Aren't you going to call?"

Huang Yaoshi raised his palm, which was as white as jade, with an ominous black mist swirling around it.

"If you don't call me Master Huang and don't kneel before me, I'll beat you to death right now to cleanse the Huangfeng Academy of its corruption!"

Shen You felt a chill envelop her entire body, as if she were about to die under Huang Yaoshi's palm at any moment.

"Damn it!" Shen You cursed inwardly.

He had never felt so frustrated, not even when facing Wang Long.

This old ghost Huang's strength is unfathomable. No matter how much he cheats, he can't possibly be Huang's match.

Furthermore, with Pharmacist Hong offering no assistance, he was completely unable to resist this old ghost Huang, let alone escape from here.

But even so.

"You want me to kneel before you? No way!"

Shen You gritted her teeth and glared at Huang Yaoshi.

Suddenly an idea struck him. He collapsed to the ground, his face contorted in pain, and deliberately screamed in agony.

"Ouch, that hurts! I'm going to die! My shoulder is going to break! Ah, I'm dying!"

Shen You fell to the ground and rolled around in a rage. After a while, she even closed her eyes and "fainted".

A martial artist's vitality is certainly not that fragile. Although his injuries look serious, they are nothing to a martial artist.

But he was determined not to kneel, preferring to play dead on the ground rather than kneel!

Shen You thought to herself, "I'm already 'dead,' so this old ghost Huang can't possibly come and force me again, right?"

You can't force a "dead person" to kneel before you!

Suddenly, Shen You heard a gust of wind and a round little ball was bounced into his mouth.

Shen You was shocked and opened her eyes, about to spit out what was in her mouth.

But Huang Yaoshi coldly replied, "This is a 'Golden Toad Pill,' which can heal your injuries!"

Golden Toad Elixir?

Upon hearing the name, Shen You swallowed the pill in her mouth with a gulp.

He felt a warm current spread from his lower abdomen in an instant, and then it warmly concentrated on his shoulder. Black demonic energy burst out and actually glued his shoulder together, causing the wound that was almost split open to heal rapidly.

Immediate results!

This is Renxintang's precious medicine!

Before long, Shen You's injuries were completely healed, and she even felt that her physique had become better than before, with full energy and strength.

"Is your injury healed?" Huang Yaoshi asked.

Shen You could no longer pretend to be injured, so she slowly got up from the ground, nodded, and said, "Not bad, right?"

When he looked at Huang Yaoshi again, his opinion of him had changed somewhat.

So the old man could actually produce pills?

Then give me a lot more!

Huang Yaoshi suddenly snorted coldly, "Now that your injuries are healed, kneel down before me!"

Shen You's expression immediately changed again.

The people around also looked surprised.

Everyone then realized that Huang Yaoshi had kindly treated Shen You's injuries not to take Shen You as an apprentice, but to make Shen You kneel before him.

Since Shen You is showing signs of serious injury and is unwilling to kneel, why not just heal her injuries?

Based on this simple idea, Huang Yaoshi threw a "Golden Toad Pill" at Shen You.

"What a grand gesture!" exclaimed one of the apprentices in hemp clothing.

Just to make someone kneel, he throws out a "Golden Toad Pill." Such boldness truly befits Huang Banxian!

"Hahaha!!"

Shen You gritted her teeth and burst into a sinister laugh.

"You cured me, and now you expect me to kneel? I can only tell you, you're dreaming!"

"I kneel to heaven, earth, and my parents; I would even kneel to a lowly maidservant on the street if she has ever been kind to me!"

"But I'm not going to kneel before you, you old geezer!"

"I don't want you to treat me! Go ahead and break my shoulder again if you dare!"

Shen You roared at Huang Yaoshi.

"it is good."

Huang Yaoshi nodded.

He flicked out two streams of black energy from his hands, striking Shen You's shoulders.

Two "plop plop" sounds!

Shen You's shoulders were broken again, and she slumped down.

Everyone looked on in astonishment.

Huang Yaoshi acts as he pleases, and his unpredictable temper terrifies them.

"Not enough...!"

Shen You felt a piercing pain in both shoulders, but she still gritted her teeth and glared at Huang Yaoshi.

"If you want me to kneel before you, then break my kneecaps too!"

"good!"

Huang Yaoshi nodded again.

puff puff!

Two more soft cracks, and Shen You's kneecaps broke as well.

Shen You fell to the ground with a thud.

A tearing pain shot through my knee again.

But instead, he looked up at the sky and let out a ferocious laugh.

"Hahaha! That felt great! That felt great!!"

"Old ghost Huang! If you've got the guts, just kill me already!!"

"If I even frown, I'm no hero!!"

Shen You recalled that she had once told Aunt Dou, "I love the way you don't kneel."

At the time, it was actually driven by a bit of the recklessness and wicked sense of humor characteristic of a time traveler.

Now, I've become exactly the kind of person I described back then.

I refuse to kneel!

What can you do to me!

Seeing Shen You's appearance, everyone around her showed expressions of being moved.

Shen You's performance in the face of Huang Yaoshi was even more shocking to them than when they saw Shen You sever Wang Long's head with a single stroke.

No apprentice at Renxintang has ever dared to disobey the pharmacist.

But today, Shen You appeared!

All these years, there has only been one Shen You!

This Shen You is truly remarkable!

At this moment, Huang Yaoshi moved again.

A chill ran through everyone, who thought that Huang Yaoshi had reached his limit and was about to kill Shen You.

But then Huang Yaoshi bent down, leaned close to Shen You, and said coldly, "Want to die? Not a chance!"

"Fine, don't kneel if you don't want to! But since I've spoken, you belong to Huangfeng Academy from this day forward! No one... can take you away!"

His voice was chilling, sending shivers down everyone's spines.

Everyone knew that he wasn't letting Shen You off the hook. On the contrary, he was even more determined to make her suffer. He wouldn't even leave her the chance to die!

"That's it, take him away!" Huang Yaoshi straightened up and said.

"Old Huang, let me do it!"

Zhu Xiaobao then took the initiative to come closer.

He bent down, as if to lift Shen You up.

But at that moment, a sinister glint flashed in his eyes.

With a swift movement, he drew a dagger from his waist and was about to plunge it into Shen You's neck.

"Dare to take my place? Die!!" he roared furiously.

The incident happened so suddenly that everyone gasped in surprise.

Shen You stared at Zhu Xiaobao in astonishment.

"Why are you trying to kill me too? What right do you have to kill me?!"

Having been repeatedly humiliated by Huang Yaoshi, and now Zhu Xiaobao suddenly launching a deadly attack.

A surge of violent rage swelled within Shen You.

He grew angrier the more he thought about it.

I didn't do anything wrong from the very beginning.

He had only tried to curry favor with Guard Xue, which aroused Wang Hu's jealousy.

After teaching Wang Hu a lesson, he was pursued by Wang Long.

After finally killing Wang Long, he was humiliated by Huang Yaoshi.

Now even someone like you, Zhu Xiaobao, wants to kill me?!

"What right do you have to kill me?!"

Shen You roared in anger.

Just then, a fierce aura that had been hidden at the back of his tongue was suddenly unleashed.

That was the malevolent energy he gained from eating the flesh and blood of the demon beast that day, which Aunt Dou taught him to hide under the root of his tongue.

Guard Xue told him that this was a method that "contains evil spirits".

Whenever he was agitated and angry, this murderous aura would always stir up.

This time, with his limbs broken and unable to resist Zhu Xiaobao's sudden attack, his murderous aura finally exploded at the root of his tongue.

puff!

He exhaled a murderous aura.

A wisp of black smoke flashed by.

It pierced through Zhu Xiaobao's forehead in an instant.

Zhu Xiaobao looked stunned, and his eyes lost their light.

With a thud, he collapsed in front of Shen You.
