Yan Fulfilled His Promise and Submitted to Chu Hao [Please Vote, Monthly Tickets]

"Chu Hao!"

Just as Hu Liena was leading Chu Hao around Martial Soul Hall, familiarizing him with the routes and rules, a deep voice rang out.

A moment later, a man dressed in black robes appeared before Chu Hao and Hu Liena.

"Senior Du Feng!"

When Chu Hao saw who had come, he bowed respectfully.

No matter what, Du Feng was still the man who had saved his life.

He deserved Chu Hao's respect.

Hu Liena's eyes nearly popped out at the sight.

Heavens!

Who was this guy?

Chu Hao was actually bowing to him?

Did Martial Soul Hall have someone like this?

Why did his name feel a little familiar, yet she couldn't remember it?

"Kid Chu, what are you doing? Get up, quickly. You are now the disciple of the Pope. Your status is different."

Du Feng was very gratified by Chu Hao's actions. He hurried forward to help him up, then returned the courtesy with a deep bow.

Their statuses were different now. They were no longer on the same level.

"Senior, you saved my life. You deserve this," Chu Hao replied.

"That still won't do. Our Martial Soul Hall has a strict hierarchy. We must follow the rules and regulations."

"You are now the Pope's disciple, so you should be the one receiving our courtesy."

"From now on, don't call me Senior anymore. Just call me Old Du."

Du Feng had always handled people and matters with just the right measure.

Although he had saved Chu Hao's life, he could not misuse that connection.

Things should be done however they ought to be done.

With Chu Hao's current status, Du Feng still had to follow the rules and show him respect.

"All right, Old Du."

"Where are you headed?"

Seeing this, Chu Hao could only accept it calmly.

"I came to find you. The Grand Worship has already given orders for me to protect your safety personally," Du Feng replied.

"Oh? Is that so?"

"Then stay by my side."

Chu Hao was slightly surprised when he heard this and did not understand what was going on.

Logically speaking, he had already completely offended Qian Daoliu, so why would Qian Daoliu have Du Feng keep protecting him?

There had to be something fishy about this.

But that was fine too.

If Du Feng wanted to follow, then he could follow. It counted as getting a free fighter, so why not?

"Yes!"

Du Feng answered respectfully, then obediently stood behind him like a loyal guard.

Hu Liena frowned slightly at the sight.

Although she did not know who Du Feng was, she could vaguely sense that this man's cultivation was anything but simple. He was probably an expert.

She even guessed that he was likely an undercover agent Qian Daoliu had placed beside Chu Hao.

It seemed she had to tell Teacher about this.

"Xiao Hao, we've basically finished touring Martial Soul Hall. Let's go back," Hu Liena suggested.

"No rush. Let's go find Yan!"

Seeing that it was still early, Chu Hao naturally did not want to go back.

Since he had nothing else to do anyway, he might as well have Yan fulfill his promise first.

"Xiao Hao, why—why are you looking for him?"

"Are you still not planning to let Yan off?"

When Hu Liena heard that, she grew a little anxious, her expression extremely flustered.

He couldn't be going to cause trouble for Yan, could he?

What should she do now?

"None of your business."

"Lead the way."

Chu Hao could not be bothered to explain to her, and simply gave the order in a cold voice.

Since she had already chosen to submit, she should just behave and do as she was told.

What was the point of asking so many questions?

"All right!"

Seeing his indifferent attitude, Hu Liena felt terribly dejected as she led the way ahead.

She knew Chu Hao did not trust her at all.

There was nothing she could do. Who had told her to bring this on herself?

If she had not teased him from the start, and had not amused herself at his expense, things would not have developed to this point.

Just like that, the two of them stayed silent.

One led the way in front, while the other quietly followed behind.

Before long, the three of them arrived at Yan's residence.

At this moment, he was lying on the bed, having only just recovered a little soul power and stamina, while Xie Yue sat beside him and chatted.

"Brother, Yan!"

Hu Liena pushed the door open and walked straight in, greeting the two of them.

At first, when the two saw Hu Liena, there was still a hint of a smile on their faces.

But when they saw Chu Hao, their expressions darkened to the extreme.

"You... why are you here?"

Yan suddenly scrambled up from the bed and asked somewhat haltingly.

After that battle just now, Chu Hao had completely beaten the temper out of him.

"It's time for you to fulfill your promise!"

Chu Hao sat down on the tea table and said coldly.

Perhaps he was a little thirsty, because he casually poured himself a cup of tea and moistened his throat.

When Yan heard this, his expression changed abruptly and turned utterly ugly.

At this moment, he regretted it to death. Why had he made such a brainless promise?

And even let himself be dealt with however the other party wished!

How was that any different from handing himself over?

However, Yan was also a tough man who dared to take responsibility for his actions.

A loss was a loss.

He ought to fulfill his promise.

There was nothing to argue about.

Right now, he had only one thought, and that was hoping Chu Hao would not make things too difficult for him.

"A bet is a bet. Say it!" Yan said steadily.

"I want you to submit!" Chu Hao replied coldly.

Hearing this, Yan took a deep breath.

In truth, when Xie Yue had told him earlier that Chu Hao had forced Hu Liena to submit to him, he had already guessed what Chu Hao would make him promise.

Still, although he had prepared himself mentally, hearing it in person was still a little hard to accept.

After all, this concerned a man's dignity.

If he chose to submit today, it would be equivalent to handing his loyalty over to Chu Hao.

He was unwilling in every possible way.

But he had lost, and he had lost fair and square.

A real man kept his word. Once he said something, he meant it, without any excuses.

Since that was the case, he should have the courage to bear it.

Was it not just submission?

He, Yan, could still endure it.

"Fine. I choose to submit!" Yan replied readily.

Xie Yue was shocked when he heard this!

From his understanding of Yan, how could Yan possibly agree to submit to him?

"Yan, don't do anything rash."

"Do you know what this means?"

Xie Yue was truly anxious.

His closest sister had already chosen to submit, and that alone had been hard enough for him to bear.

Now his only good brother had also chosen to submit. How could he accept that?

One had to know that the three of them were the strongest among Martial Soul Hall's peers.

"Xie Yue, I know what you want to say."

"But do I have a choice?"

"A loss is a loss!"

"And I lost fair and square."

"As a man, I should have the courage to take responsibility."

"You're Chu Hao, right? From now on, I, Yan, submit to you."

"But there's one thing you need to understand."

"My submission to you doesn't mean forever."

"One day, I'll defeat you."

When Yan finished speaking, he slowly walked up to Chu Hao and knelt on one knee before him.

Du Feng, who had been waiting outside the door the entire time, heard these words and was full of praise.

Able to bend and stretch—now that was a real man.

He had not expected Martial Soul Hall's younger generation to still have someone so bold and forthright.

Not bad. He was a true man.

For Chu Hao to gain his loyalty, it could also be considered that a worthy item had found its rightful owner.

"Yan!"

Seeing Yan's decision, Hu Liena called out softly with a complicated expression.

For some reason, she suddenly felt that Yan finally had a bit of manliness to him.

"You can't beat me now, and you won't be able to beat me in the future either."

"Xie Yue, I'll give you one chance now."

"Submit, or be my enemy!"

Chu Hao was very satisfied with Yan's submission.

Next, only Xie Yue remained.

As long as he made Xie Yue submit, it would be equivalent to obtaining Martial Soul Hall's Golden Generation.

This would be his first step toward dominating the world.
