I am Liu Guanyi!

Before Zhang Chulan could react, he was already on the other side.

Even the little Taoist attendant froze, let alone the Outsiders behind him, whose expressions grew more spectacular from one to the next.

"Tele... teleportation?!" one Outsider shrieked.

"...What move was that just now?" The young Taoist on the left swallowed, his voice dry. "Earth-shrinking? An illusion? I... never saw his foot rise or land."

"That wasn't lightness kung fu." The older Taoist looked grave. He drew a deep breath and lowered his voice.

"There wasn't even a stir of wind. That technique... was very strange. Go check his credentials and see what school or sect he belongs to."

"Mommy, I want to go home! The world's getting scarier by the day!"

Clearly, the little move Wang Zhuo had just demonstrated had already left this group of Outsiders deeply shaken.

If they honestly asked themselves, what chance would any one of them have against an enemy like that?

That Void-Stepping Fold alone was already beyond their understanding.

"Hmph, I don't think it's anything special. I, the Bandit King, have never been afraid of anyone." The scruffy Outsider wore a proud expression, clearly refusing to concede.

Even Xu San was momentarily at a loss for words.

"This young man... even I can't make heads or tails of his techniques. How strange."

"Why worry about all that? It's a big world, with all sorts of birds in the woods. There might even be some old monsters waiting to become immortals."

Xu Si responded with a cigarette in his mouth, "Anyway, this kid seems interested in joining Nadutong. Bringing him in as muscle wouldn't be bad. Even if he can't fight, his traveling technique is top-notch."

Compared to them, the person most shocked was Zhang Chulan himself, who had experienced it firsthand.

He still hadn't recovered from the shock. The sensation of covering ten thousand miles in a single step when Wang Zhuo pulled him across kept lingering in his mind.

"Shr... Shrinking the Earth to Inches... Bro, just what kind of immortal are you?"

"Could you give your little bro a hint?"

At that, Wang Zhuo merely flashed his teeth. "Liu Guanyi, from Nadutong!"

"Holy shit, you're already borrowing their name to throw your weight around?!"

"Tsk, what do you mean, borrowing their name? Aren't I a Nadutong employee? Xu Si just agreed."

"Come on, come on, let's hurry over and watch the fun."

Wang Zhuo put an arm around Zhang Chulan and headed toward the gathering point with him.

"Look at him. He really doesn't care who he runs with." Smoking his cigarette, Xu Si couldn't help making a teasing remark.

"Hmph, people like him are the most unpredictable factor. You don't know where he came from or what he wants. I'm going to look into his background. If he's an Outsider, there's no way we won't find anything."

Not long afterward, Xu San would regret this decision more than he had ever regretted anything.

When they arrived at the gathering area, "overcrowded" no longer sufficed to describe it. Adults, elderly people, children-everyone was there. There were even vendors selling popcorn and cotton candy nearby.

"What the hell? Is this still the Luotian Grand Ceremony?!" Zhang Chulan was utterly dumbfounded.

Wang Zhuo paid it no mind. He returned with stir-fried noodles and handed Feng Baobao a box. "Outsiders are people too. How are they supposed to live without earning money? On thin air?"

"Wow, that makes so much sense I can't even argue."

Zhang Chulan took the noodles and started eating. Xu San and Xu Si didn't refuse either. After all, turning him down for no reason could easily rub him the wrong way.

At the very least, they absolutely couldn't fall out with him before getting to the bottom of his background.

As everyone squatted in a corner eating noodles, a familiar voice came from nearby.

"Hey! Everyone from Nadutong, remember me?" A white-haired boy in sportswear walked over, smiling as he waved at the five of them.

"Hehehe, Chulan, remember me?"

"Feng XingTong-the one you scared into pissing himself. We hadn't even fought."

Feng XingTong made no attempt to hide that glorious episode of his. Grinning, he came right up to them, acting every bit the old friend.

Feng Shayan rolled her eyes beside him. "You've actually got the nerve to bring that up? Even if you aren't embarrassed, I am..."

Feng Shayan's gaze drifted uncontrollably toward Wang Zhuo.

Those nicely defined muscles~

And that tall, straight figure~

And that handsome, chiseled face~

And that silvery-white hair~

Even without him taking off the blindfold, I can tell he's an absolute hottie!

He looks so much better than those hulking muscle monsters at the gym!

And this guy is definitely super strong!

Wang Zhuo, however, was entirely occupied with his noodles. Sauce even splattered as he ate, accidentally landing on her sportswear.

"Ah, sorry, sorry~"

"Sis... murder is illegal!" Feng XingTong clenched his buttocks in fright, afraid his older sister would suddenly lash out and kill someone.

Yet the expected fury and roaring never came. Instead, there was a kind of gentleness he had never heard before.

"It's all right. I don't mind." A blush spread across Feng Shayan's cheeks, and she instinctively tucked her hair behind her ear.

"'All right'...?"

What the fuck was that supposed to mean?!

Feng XingTong's and Zhang Chulan's minds were both in turmoil.

So you'd been treating people differently based on who they were all along!

Gentle with the ones you liked, fists flying at the ones you didn't!

Zhang Chulan roared inwardly, This goddamn rotten society! Your principles follow your facial features, huh!

Plastic surgery!

I'm going to Country H for plastic surgery right now!

Wang Zhuo lightly waved his index finger in front of Feng Shayan, and the stains on her clothes vanished instantly.

Spatial powers?!

Feng Shayan's pupils abruptly contracted. With her innate spatial ability, she knew this sort of technique all too well.

But such minute precision-teleporting the grease stains off the clothes rather than the fabric itself-was enough to show just how terrifying his spatial techniques were.

It was no different from using a machete to fit a heart stent in a paramecium.

She could never have achieved that level herself, much less had the patience to research how to use spatial abilities to remove stains from clothes.

"Whoa, handsome, how did you learn that move? Teach me, please?!"

"Then I won't have to wash my clothes anymore!" Feng XingTong's eyes filled with shock and delight, without the slightest understanding of the profound technique involved.

Feng Shayan smacked her younger brother on the head with a slap! "Sorry, this stupid little brother of mine is always so clueless. Please excuse him."

"My name is Feng Shayan, and my younger brother is Feng XingTong. Pleased to meet you."

"Hehehe, handsome, I'm Feng XingTong. We still don't know your name!"

Seeing the somewhat expectant looks in the siblings' eyes, Wang Zhuo immediately straightened his back and began ostentatiously reciting a poem:

"On a winding, desperate road, heaven and earth close in; calamity upon calamity leaves life and death hanging by a thread."

"Life drifts like willow fluff upon the wind; in clouds or mud, my resolve remains as one."

He returned Feng Shayan's greeting. "I am Liu Guanyi!"
