"What did you do today?"

After finishing the day's classes, Wang Dong saw Li Changsheng return. Her handsome face was full of curiosity as she hurriedly sat up in bed and asked.

"Why are you asking?"

Li Changsheng glanced at her. Rather than answering directly, he tossed the question back at her.

"I'm just curious!"

Wang Dong grinned and asked, "Also, what exactly is that old man's identity? What kind of status does he have at Shrek Academy?"

"A very high one. Even Inner Court Disciples have to listen to him."

Li Changsheng stretched and loosened his muscles before saying softly, "As for his exact identity, that's hard to say. You know that revealing it without someone's permission is impolite."

"I understand, I understand!"

Wang Dong nodded and did not press the matter further. Instead, she asked, "Then tell me what you did all day."

From what Li Changsheng had said, it was clear that he had gone to the Inner Court. Perhaps some powerful figure had taken a liking to him. Otherwise, how could someone who had only been enrolled for a few days be brought into the Inner Court? That would be ridiculous.

As far as she knew, even Li Changsheng's sister, Jiang Nannan, who was already a fifth-grade student, had never been to the Inner Court. It was obvious just how difficult it was to enter and become an Inner Court student.

"Forget it. I'm a little tired."

Li Changsheng waved a hand, putting on a refusing expression.

"How about this? Tell me, and I'll give you a thousand Gold Soul Coins."

Wang Dong's expression darkened. Realizing she would not get what she wanted without paying a price, she named an offer.

"Heh. Do you really think I, Li Changsheng, am the kind of person who sees money and loses all sense?"

Li Changsheng sneered disdainfully. "Sorry, you've got the wrong person. The education I received since childhood does not support me doing this!"

"Really? Are you that noble?"

Wang Dong narrowed her eyes. Still unconvinced, she continued, "I'll offer five thousand Gold Soul Coins!"

To her, money was merely something external, and it was what she lacked the least. After all, she had the entire Clear Sky Sect behind her.

"I already told you, don't—"

"Ten thousand!"

Before Li Changsheng could finish, Wang Dong raised the price again. "Final offer. If you refuse again, forget it."

"You really are a good judge of character!"

Li Changsheng immediately broke into a brilliant smile and asked, "What do you want to know? I'll tell you everything one by one!"

He had no choice. He was simply too poor right now—so poor that he could only squeeze his and Jiang Nannan's living expenses out of Wang Dong, this rich second-generation heir.

"Look at you. How are you any different from those people who only care about money?"

Wang Dong snorted, then said, "Nothing else. I just want to know what you went to the Inner Court for."

"Nothing much. I was just helping someone out."

Li Changsheng shrugged nonchalantly. "You know my martial soul has powerful defenses, so I was arranged to take part in a match."

"A match?"

Wang Dong's eyes immediately lit up. "What kind of match? Who did you fight?"

"Inner Court Disciples, obviously. Who else would it be? The dean? An elder?"

Li Changsheng rolled his eyes, utterly speechless.

"What was the final result? And how strong were the Inner Court Disciples?"

Wang Dong was excited. This was firsthand information, after all, and it would be highly beneficial when she joined the Inner Court in the future.

"Isn't that a pointless question? Once they've joined the Inner Court, how many of them could be trash?"

Li Changsheng looked at Wang Dong as though she were an idiot before answering, "As for the result... well, when I make a move, would I lose? Of course we won easily!"

"Keep bragging!"

Wang Dong looked skeptical and disdainful. "You beat Inner Court seniors? What a joke!"

As far as she knew, those who could enter the Inner Court were generally Soul Ancestors or stronger.

Li Changsheng was currently only a Soul Elder. Moreover, it had not been a one-on-one duel. Deep down, she did not quite believe him. After all, no matter how she looked at it, two Inner Court Disciples with flawless teamwork were not opponents that two soul masters who had never worked together could handle.

Even if Li Changsheng's companion could defeat either of them in a one-on-one fight.

"Just because I can't beat them doesn't mean someone else can't. Anyway, I won in the end. Whether you believe it or not is your business!"

After saying that, Li Changsheng walked up to Wang Dong and extended his fair right hand. His meaning could not have been clearer: pay up.

"What do you want?"

Wang Dong crossed her arms and snorted. "I need to know whether what you said is true or false first!"

"You mean I'm lying to you?" Li Changsheng's face darkened.

"Who knows? There's a saying: better safe than sorry." Wang Dong did not admit it outright, but her meaning was obvious.

"So?" Li Changsheng clenched his fists.

"Once I investigate and confirm it, I'll give you the payment!" Wang Dong acted as though she had not noticed.

"No. I want it now!"

Li Changsheng refused.

"If you don't give it to me, I'll take it myself!" Li Changsheng threatened.

"What are you doing? Trying to take advantage of me?"

Wang Dong's body trembled slightly. Then she instinctively retreated toward the corner of the bed.

"Believe me, I'll call for someone!"

Wang Dong smiled. "You wouldn't want others to see you getting handsy with me, would you? If that happened, you wouldn't be able to clear your name even if you jumped into a river."

"Heh."

Li Changsheng chuckled. Then, under Wang Dong's watchful gaze, he spread open his right hand.

The next moment, streams of Mysterious Yellow Qi filled the entire room.

"Y-you, what are you doing?"

Wang Dong was beginning to feel afraid, and even her voice trembled slightly.

"Why don't you try it and see whether anyone can hear you?" Li Changsheng said viciously as he walked toward her.

"Don't! Don't come over!"

Just as Wang Dong was about to resist, Li Changsheng pinned her to the bed, leaving her unable to move.

"Behave yourself!"

Li Changsheng reached out and smacked Wang Dong's butt. Then, from her stiffened body, he took out a Golden Soul Card.

"We agreed on ten thousand, but because you were dishonest just now, I'm charging twenty thousand this time. The extra ten thousand will count as your compensation to me!"

After saying that, he somehow produced a card reader!
