The air remained silent for a long time.
Yu Weng finally sighed and said slowly, "I don't know how you figured that out, kid."
"I heard a while ago that you beat Yu Chuan was ranked eighteenth on the Fengyun Ranking, really badly, and my heart skipped a beat."
"His off-campus mentor is Cheng Qing, the youngest elder of the Hengshan Treasure Pavilion in Jiangnan Province."
"You might not be familiar with this name, but in Jiangnan Province and among us veteran Fifth Tier martial artists, she's known for her audacity."
"Relying on the Hengshan Treasure Pavilion's high regard for her, she doesn't even take ordinary Sixth-Tier Martial Artist seriously."
"He once defeated the Supreme Elder of a small Mountain Gate, causing him to die on the spot. This was because the elder was a Hardened Body Martial Artist in his youth, and he was spurred into accepting the challenge."
"She also rose to fame with this battle."
"The Hall Master of that Mountain Gate was wary of the Hengshan Treasure Pavilion behind it, and in the end, the matter was left unresolved."
Yu Weng was in a bad mood. As he wiped the bloodstains from his beard, he said helplessly, "Cheng Qing, to put it nicely, is straightforward; to put it bluntly, he can't hold back even the slightest thing."
"I heard you beat her disciple so badly he couldn't get out of bed for months, and you were furious at the Hengshan Treasure Pavilion."
"I was worried that she might secretly harm you, which is why I went there immediately to negotiate, hoping to resolve the matter peacefully and avert disaster."
As he spoke, the old man's face became more deeply lined, and his cloudy eyes showed a clear seriousness, indicating that he cared a great deal about the matter.
Ye Li seemed to be deep in thought, then asked, "Did it fail?"
"It failed."
Yu Weng sighed again, and he seemed to have aged considerably.
He licked his dry lips, then smiled wryly and said, "I try to reason with her, but she tries to fight me with her fists."
"Cheng Qing said that as long as you can defeat her, she will not only refrain from seeking revenge, but is also willing to give you her ultimate skill, [Glazed Treasure Body], to cultivate."
"Of course, I'm not stupid. Cheng Qing has been at the eighth level of the Fifth Tier for quite some time now."
"Youth has an advantage in boxing, and besides, this old man isn't good at close combat..."
At this point, a hint of embarrassment appeared on Yu Weng's face.
After pondering for a while, he said again, "I spent several days at the Hengshan Treasure Pavilion before I finally changed the condition to [withstanding ten punches from her without backing down]."
"How many punches did you manage to land?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Li casually asked.
"Eight Fists..."
Yu Weng's embarrassment deepened. "And this was only achieved when she deliberately humiliated me, and didn't use her full strength in the first few punches..."
Ye Li nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
They didn't say anything harsh.
The old man may be useless, but he did his best.
Not to mention, it was essentially for his safety, but he ended up sacrificing his own safety in the process.
The only downside is that he only just realized that Cheng Qing had actually been thinking about him all along.
To avoid disappointing her.
Once this matter is settled, I'll go to Jiangnan Province.
Ye Li looked up and sighed casually, "Come back and recover from your injuries soon. I have a way to help you break through."
"What can you do...?"
Yu Weng shook his head, both amused and exasperated. For martial artists of their rank, it was quite normal to be stuck at the first level for several years, a dozen years, or even decades.
He only broke through to the sixth level a few years ago, and the seventh level is still a long way off.
Without a doubt, this was a white lie told by the other party to get me back as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Yu Weng felt a warmth in his heart and said:
"You'd better stay on campus during this time. At most, you can carry out one Blue Mission within the city. Don't take on any missions that are too far away."
Ye Li said softly, neither confirming nor denying, "I'll hang up now, I need to rest."
"Don't disregard what I'm saying!"
"Uh-huh."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Li undressed and got into bed, only to find that he was wide awake.
My already restless mood grew even more agitated.
The thought that a renowned martial arts master was thinking of him made him feel uneasy.
"..."
After patiently lying down for a while longer, I finally managed to get some rest.
Ye Li got dressed, stood up, and walked straight out of the room into the courtyard.
The refreshing evening breeze caressed him, but it did nothing to calm his burning emotions.
Within sight.
The bright moonlight shone on the earth, casting a thin layer of silver veil over everything.
Ye Li imagined what Cheng Qing looked like in his mind, and an alluring blush spread across his face.
Of course, he was the one who slapped him.
"No..."
Ye Li let out a soft breath, then strode towards the courtyard gate. "I really can't wait any longer."
There are only 20,000 points of Malice Points left in the backend.
Let alone advancing to the sixth rank, even if he were to obtain the Spirit Nurturing Method from Zuo Qingyu now, he wouldn't be able to cultivate it to perfection and nurture a superior Martial Infant.
Ultimately, it comes down to that simple reason --
Number of defects!
At such a critical moment, how could I possibly be thinking of taking a night's rest and then going to the various Martial Arts University tomorrow to earn a little extra money?
I'm really a bit dizzy.
First of all, Zhu Zhengchuan is already a leading figure among the younger generation of Huaxia.
However, he was only at the Fourth-Tier Peak, and the points he could generate had decreased significantly.
Furthermore, after seeing themselves defeat Zhu Zhengchuan in such a crushing manner, would those Martial Arts University still have the courage to accept the invitation?
The answer should be given a big question mark.
In conclusion, changing our route to Jiangnan Province now is the best decision we can make!
Otherwise, once the news reaches Hengshan Treasure Pavilion in Jiangnan Province, Cheng Qing might change his mind after hearing it...
Thinking about this...
Ye Li, whose physical body was clearly no longer afraid of water or fire, couldn't help but shiver.
Damn, this idea is absolutely terrifying!
There's no time to hesitate any longer...
Ye Li moved like the wind, arriving at Zuo Qingyu's courtyard in an instant, and then knocked on the gate.
Soon, Zuo Qingyu, her brows slightly furrowed, opened the courtyard gate. "What is it?"
She was dressed in an elegant blue robe, though her hair was slightly disheveled.
Very good, the Qingyu is also not asleep.
Ye Li nodded inwardly and got straight to the point:
"The Hengshan Treasure Pavilion in Jiangnan Province is going too far. Elder Cheng Qing within the sect is plotting against me."
Hearing the boy's calm narration.
The sleepiness in Zuo Qingyu's eyes vanished instantly, and a majestic aura emanated from her body.
Of all the martial artists Zuo Qingyu had ever met, Ye Li was definitely the one she found most pleasing to the eye.
This is quite a rare thing.
She already considered the boy a kindred spirit and planned to protect him with her own wings until he grew up.
Cheng Qing of the Hengshan Treasure Pavilion
What audacity!
"Real?"
Zuo Qingyu's voice was so cold it was frightening, sending chills down one's spine.
"Real."
Ye Li nodded, his calm voice carrying a hint of madness:
"The old man has already been beaten up by them, I plan to confront them head-on tomorrow morning."
