Don't You Trust Your Master Yet?

William finished speaking and then glanced at Zhao Hufeng.

"I'm actually the same age as you!"

Didn't he see what Zhao Hufeng was thinking? He must have thought he was some old monster like Fan Xinglu.

He would never admit to being an old monster! Even if you count the years he's lived in two lifetimes, plus the time he spent in the DanMachi World, he's only in his thirties at most.

Why should he be compared to a thousand-year-old demon?

"Varied...!"

"Alright, you may all leave now! I have something I want to say to him!"

When Zhao Hufeng heard William say that he was about the same age as him, his pupils trembled as if an earthquake had struck.

But just as he was about to say something more, Fan Xinglu interrupted him.

"Yes, Master!"

Wu Xiaohui bowed and left decisively; for him, only his master's orders mattered.

Everything else, whatever it may be, is none of his business!

"Then I'll be going now!"

Cecily covered the talisman on her chest with both hands, even forgetting about bowing.

There was no way around it! Although she now understood that William hadn't done it on purpose, she didn't want to experience that feeling again.

If Fan Xinglu hadn't kept quiet and didn't give her any instructions, she would have stayed far away from this dangerous man long ago.

"Yes, Master!"

Zhao Hufeng still seemed somewhat unwilling, but he couldn't disobey his master's orders, so he obediently stepped down.

In just one minute, only two people remained in the vast Huangchen Hall.

"Did you make any progress in martial arts this time, following the plan I gave you?"

For the past six months, Fan Xinglu had never inquired about William's situation; all she did was transfer money to William's account on time every month.

As for Star Power, Fan Xinglu didn't even mention it. Half a year ago, William's Star Power was almost comparable to hers.

There's no need to elaborate further now!

"Don't worry! You'll see my results in a few days!"

William's words were filled with self-confidence, as if he would never repeat the embarrassing situation of being suppressed by Fan Xinglu in close combat.

"We're really looking forward to it!"

P. S.: There might be some formatting issues. If so, I'll fix it when I have time. I was in a rush to finish it.

"Speaking of which, did the final battle of the previous 'Phoenix Festa' that I provided for you pique your interest even slightly?"

As Fan Xinglu spoke, she used her Earth-Shrinking Technique to move a mahogany chair from another room for William.

You mean that "Lone Poison Witch"?

William sat down directly on it, crossing his left leg over his right.

"Her poison is not directly perceptible, so its strength cannot be discerned!"

"But considering her use of Star Power in public last time, in terms of Star Power alone, she should be on par with you, Xinglu!"

"Of course, this is also related to the fact that you have only been reincarnated for three years and your body is still too young."

It's important to know that Fan Xinglu's current strength is far from reaching the peak she had in the previous era.

Her small stature limited her supernatural martial arts skills and immense Star Power.

"There's no need to add that last part; I'm not a petty person."

Fan Xinglu responded to William with a sneer, as if retaliating for the mockery he had shown William when he appeared.

I think you're quite petty.

William silently swallowed the words that were already on the tip of his tongue.

"But to be honest, although I agreed to participate in the 'Phoenix Festa,' I still don't know what its purpose is."

This martial arts competition, which is very popular all over the world, was like children fighting in William's eyes.

William really couldn't muster any energy for this; the only one he could play around with was that "Lone Poison Witch," but the stage limited his performance.

That's why he didn't want to participate.

"Because it's very interesting!"

Fan Xinglu opened the folding fan in her hand, using the other side, which was painted with a landscape picture, to cover her cherry lips.

That's right, no reason needed!

If something is interesting, she wants to do it and see it!

"Okay! Okay!"

William raised his hands, making a gesture of surrender.

He still owed this little girl a favor, and favors are always the hardest thing to repay.

Besides, Fan Xinglu didn't ask for anything too outrageous.

Moreover, he had promised the Todo Family that he and Kirin would participate in the "Griffon Festa".

Remembering the little girl he hadn't officially met in over half a year, William's lips curled into a knowing smile.

"Oh, right, Xinglu!"

"Help me get a temporary permit to enter and exit the Jielong later!"
