By a lake straight ahead, several burly martial artists had gathered around a baby-faced girl, blocking her path with vicious expressions.
"You dare train on our exclusive turf? Got a death wish?"
"Exactly! A Yellow Tier martial artist prancing around an area reserved for Black Tier cultivators? Tired of living?"
"She's pretty enough. We could take her back as a child bride."
Surrounded by them, the baby-faced girl had gone pale, her face filled with fear.
"Isn't that Jianrencheng?" a martial artist beside Jun Wangchen suddenly asked.
"I heard he just advanced to mid Black Tier a few days ago. He's gotten a lot stronger, but I didn't expect him to start bullying girls so soon."
Another man shook his head. "Say what you like, he's arrogant, but he has the strength to back it up. That girl has only herself to blame for provoking him."
"Oh, please. All she did was practice her punches by the lake for a bit. If you ask me, Jianrencheng probably took a fancy to her looks and deliberately picked a fight."
"I don't think she's that pretty. She's not even as good-looking as you."
"Get lost, you damn pervert."
Listening to their conversation, Jun Wangchen frowned and walked toward the group.
Up ahead, Mo Xiaofei's little face turned pale as she looked at the vicious men before her.
"I'm sorry, I... I didn't know this was where you trained. I'll leave right now."
"Hold it!" Before Mo Xiaofei could leave, Jianrencheng reached out to stop her.
"Think you can just walk away? You must really think nothing of us."
"N-no, that's not..." Mo Xiaofei collapsed to the ground in fright, trembling all over.
"I really didn't mean to practice on your turf. Please let me go."
"Let you go?" A sneer
