Everyone was completely bewildered by Du Kang and Ma Huicao, staring at them blankly.
It's fake, it must be fake, these two must be plotting something!
Although Du Kang and Ma Huicao were not as Son of Heaven talented as Fuyao and Li Qingfeng, they were still among the top young geniuses in the Heavenly Mountain Holy Land. Why would they flatter a boy of unknown origin like this?
The surprise in everyone's hearts lasted only a moment before their faces returned to a look of schadenfreude.
Even Fuyao looked at the two with suspicion and asked, "Senior brothers, have you... already met Young Master Yang?"
"We've met, more than just met, we hit it off immediately, it's like we've known each other forever." Du Kang smiled sincerely at Yang Zhen and said, "Right, Brother Yang?"
Yang Zhen put his arm around their shoulders and said with a smile, "Yes, we hit it off immediately and are now good friends."
Fuyao was indeed beautiful, but spending all her time walking around with another woman meant she could only get a cursory look at the scenery and restrictions of the Heavenly Mountain Holy Land. How could that possibly satisfy Yang Zhen's curiosity?
Many of the talented disciples in the holy land are arrogant and look down on others. Although Yang Zhen wanted to learn more about the Heavenly Mountain Holy Land, he never thought of befriending any talented disciples.
In Yang Zhen's view, the encounter with Du Kang and Ma Huicao was quite dramatic.
Last night, Yang Zhen was wandering around aimlessly when two guys suddenly appeared in front of him, their smiles so genuine that even Yang Zhen couldn't tell if they were real or fake.
After trying to get to know them, Yang Zhen was completely impressed by their extensive knowledge; they were practically two instruction manuals for the Heavenly Mountain Holy Land.
Moreover, the three of them agreed that next time they would take Yang Zhen to a place that all disciples of Tianshan had to go to. As long as they could get through this place, Yang Zhen would be able to do whatever he wanted in the Heavenly Mountain Holy Land.
Yang Zhen liked to walk sideways, and the feeling of being talked about wherever he went made Yang Zhen to punch people.
I'm not going to beat anyone up. At most, I'll find an opportunity to show off and let everyone know my true strength.
And here comes the opportunity!
Yang Zhen looked at Du Kang and Ma Huicao with a curious expression, his smile so innocent it was astonishing.
"Brother Du Kang, Brother Ma Huicao, that place you were talking about last night..."
"Which place?" A hint of curiosity flashed across Fuyao's face, but for some reason, she suddenly had a bad feeling.
Du Kang glanced at Ma Huicao, then smiled and said to Fuyao, "Senior Sister Fuyao, we had a very pleasant conversation yesterday. Brother Yang is very interested in the Heavenly Absolute Tower of our Heavenly Mountain Holy Land, and he wanted us to take him there first thing this morning."
" Heavenly Absolute Tower?"
Before Fuyao could speak, the expressions on the faces of the surrounding disciples became incredibly interesting, and quite a few of them even ran away in a flash.
Yang Zhen watched the group of disciples scrambling and stumbling without changing his expression, and couldn't help but nod. It seemed that this Heavenly Ladder Tower was indeed extraordinary; this reaction had already explained everything.
Fuyao's expression also turned somewhat grim, and she said in a deep voice, " The Heavenly Ladder Tower is a forbidden area of Heavenly Mountain Holy Land. Without orders from an elder or higher, you are absolutely not allowed to enter it."
As she spoke, Fuyao took Yang Zhen's hand and was about to leave when she said in a deep voice, "Young Master Yang, we agreed to go to the back mountain to see the snow this morning. How can you go back on your word?"
Yang Zhen was stunned, not expecting Fuyao to stop him.
Du Kang and Ma Huicao were not about to let Fuyao take Yang Zhen away. They stopped the two of them, saying, "Senior Sister Fuyao, this is probably not appropriate. We made an agreement last night. How can you force us to do something against our will?"
Fuyao was taken aback, then looked at Yang Zhen with a serious expression and asked, "Young Master Yang, what is your opinion?"
Yang Zhen pondered for a moment, then said, "I think..."
"Hmph!" Fuyao snorted lightly, gave Yang Zhen a deep look, and said, "In that case, good luck!"
With that, Fuyao left without looking back.
Yang Zhen stared blankly as Fuyao left, then shook his head and sighed, "Women's minds are really hard to fathom!"
Du Kang and Ma Huicao exchanged a glance, then grabbed Yang Zhen's arms on either side and laughed heartily, saying, "Women's minds are always a bit hard to fathom. Let's forget about Senior Sister Fuyao and hurry over there. The Heavenly Ladder Tower will definitely not disappoint Brother Yang."
Yang Zhen nodded, showing considerable interest in the Heavenly Ladder Tower the two had mentioned.
The three of them headed towards the Heavenly Ladder Tower, causing an uproar throughout the entire Heavenly Mountain Holy Land.
"Is Yang Zhen going to challenge the Heavenly Ladder Tower?"
"This is outrageous! Doesn't he know the difficulties of the Heavenly Ladder Tower?"
"This is going to be interesting! Didn't anyone tell Yang Zhen that Senior Brother Li Qingfeng is currently inside the Heavenly Ladder Tower?"
"This is a provocation against Senior Brother Li Qingfeng!"
"What provocation of Senior Brother Li Qingfeng? That's a complete joke!"
"Hurry up, let's go see the joke!"
More and more disciples of the Heavenly Mountain Holy Land ran joyfully toward the Heavenly Ladder Tower, and Yang Zhen's name spread far and wide throughout the Heavenly Mountain Holy Land.
After returning home, Fuyao grew increasingly angry. She snorted coldly and said, "Overestimating yourself! The Heavenly Ladder Tower is the most difficult to break through among all the trial grounds of the Heavenly Mountain Holy Land. Even I couldn't reach the sixth step. Without cultivating the corresponding Cultivation Method, you can't even enter the gate. This is clearly a conspiracy by Du Kang and Ma Huicao. That bastard... he couldn't even understand my good intentions! Serves him right for being schemed against!"
She grumbled as she walked out of the room and headed towards the Heavenly Ladder Tower.
"It's one thing for you to lose face, but it's for the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable to lose face. Let's see how you handle that!"
This matter could be a big deal or a small deal, depending entirely on how Yang Zhen handles it. However, after thinking it over, Fuyao decided to stop this absurd thing from happening.
The Heavenly Ladder Tower in the Heavenly Mountain Holy Land is the most dangerous of the training grounds for the disciples of the Heavenly Mountain Holy Land. It is said to have been passed down from ancient times, and no one knows its origin. However, over the past tens of thousands of years, it has been almost completely refined by the Heavenly Mountain Holy Land, and all its dangers have been sealed away.
Nevertheless, the Heavenly Ladder Tower is not a place that ordinary disciples can enter. Fuyao was absolutely right; even she couldn't climb to the sixth floor of the Heavenly Ladder Tower. Without the valve of the Heavenly Mountain Holy Land, one cannot even enter the Heavenly Ladder Tower. Du Kang and Ma Huicao certainly wouldn't tell Yang Zhen this.
If Yang Zhen is informed, how can we still laugh at Yang Zhen?
So many fellow disciples have come after receiving the news. If Yang Zhen backs down now, wouldn't Du Kang and Ma Huicao become a laughingstock?
Fuyao grew increasingly anxious. Elder Yan had entrusted her with receiving Yang Zhen; how could she allow Yang Zhen to become a laughingstock among the other disciples of the Heavenly Mountain Holy Land?
When Fuyao arrived near the Heavenly Ladder Tower, she only saw a group of dumbfounded disciples of the Heavenly Mountain Holy Land, but Yang Zhen was nowhere to be seen.
Fuyao's face darkened. She walked over to Du Kang and Ma Huicao and asked in a deep voice, "Where is Yang Zhen?"
"We're... we're in." Du Kang looked like he was questioning the meaning of life.
Fuyao's face was ashen as she stared intently at Du Kang, saying each word slowly and deliberately, "You dare to lie to me?"
