Seeing that Buse showed no sign of anxiety, Sect Leader Kang Da did not arrange for an immediate departure. After concluding the discussion and settling Buse, he sent a message to the Jia-Chou Military Stronghold.

Jiang Qing finished his sermon a few days ago and has not yet gone into seclusion for cultivation. He should be able to receive the message and return to the sect soon.

Based on Kang Dabao's own speculation, Jiang Qing must have gone there to accompany the Crown Prince in his studies.

It should be noted that although the Cloud Horn Prefecture Court still has the words "Cloud Horn" in its name, it actually governs five prefectures: Jing, Yun, Ye, Pu, and Ding. Therefore, calling it a prefecture is somewhat inappropriate. Perhaps "Earl of Nan'an's Residence" would be a more suitable title.

However, Kuang Liuting does not yet have the authority to establish his own government or military headquarters. It may be necessary for him to change his name and title only after the current Kuang Liuting bestows a title upon him after he has reached the Core Formation.

However, according to the information Fei Shuhe obtained from his confidante in the Palace of Imperial Repose, this matter of nobility was of great importance, and was being hotly debated among the imperial relatives, nobles, and high-ranking officials.

A final decision can only be made after Kuang Liuting returns and we see the reaction of the Palace Master of Billowing Dream, who has long been stationed at the outer sea.

Therefore, the Cloud Horn Prefecture Court now governs five prefectures. Even if these five prefectures cannot be described as rich, they should still have many outstanding talents under the age of one hundred.

Jiang Qing's disadvantage lies in his young age, which is why Sect Leader Kang Da doesn't think highly of him.

However, the latter also sees this as a good thing. If Jiang Qing were to actually step into the arena and fight against Funeng, Kang Dabao would inevitably feel uneasy again.

By the time Sect Leader Kang Da returned to Green Lotus Courtyard, Fei Shuhe had already received the news.

Upon first meeting, the noblewoman of the Fei Household showed no sign of panic. She simply handed Kang Changxi, who was clinging to her feet, to Yu'er to take away. Only when she leaned close to the Sect Leader Kang Da to speak did a hint of urgency appear in her voice:

"Is the undertaking of the rotating khenpo, as stated by Buse, already set in stone and cannot be changed?"

"What, you're still thinking about handing her over?" Kang Dabao's tone was much more relaxed, even a little dishonest. He grabbed his wife, who was standing close by, and was about to whisper sweet nothings in her ear when she pushed him away, followed by a sharp rebuke.

"And let's be serious. In my opinion, what's wrong with going to Bo Prefecture and handing Yuan Xiyue over before you go into seclusion?! She earned her title of Mingfei through her own hard work, and now that she's achieved her wish, isn't that exactly what she wanted?!"

Moreover, going to the Great Snow Mountain doesn't necessarily mean becoming a flesh and blood puppet; perhaps one day one will actually rise to prominence and attain the Golden Core.

The Sect Leader Kang Da only noticed that his wife had lost her former elegance and grace, but gained a touch of innocent loveliness. He then smiled faintly and did not answer her question.

Fei Shuhe was annoyed by her reaction. "Do you know what kind of institution Original Response Temple is? In the past, I thought that I was just grabbing an ordinary fortuitous opportunity for you to become a Khenpo. Even if someone came to us, I could ask my uncle to step in and smooth things over for you."

Little did we know that Funeng had already caught the eye of Chan Master Gelie. He was one of the most outstanding late-stage True Person of our time; even meeting the Emperor and the Palace Master of Billowing Dream would be a matter of respect. How could our humble family possibly provoke him?!

What Fei Shuhe said has already spread throughout Shannan Circuit recently, so how could Kang Dabao not know it?

Seeing her obvious anxiety, Sect Leader Kang Da could only suppress his smile and say calmly, "With the Earl of Nan'an absent, who in the Cloud Horn Prefecture Court can change the decisions made by my Boyue?"

Fei Shuhe's momentum faltered, and he was about to speak when Kang Dabao interrupted him, saying, "People cannot be bound by formalities. The state court will not allow it, and neither will my Boyue."

"I don't know which sycophantic person advised me to come here this Buse, just to be on the safe side and guard against this matter."

When asked about Buse, Kang Dabao was also surprised, because this Original Buddha Sect, the chief secretary of the Sima Office, had actually cultivated from a mid-stage True Cultivator to the current Foundation Establishment Peak realm in just over thirty years.

Buddhist practice has always emphasized sudden enlightenment and emptiness, achieving Buddhahood on the spot, or being Buse or accumulating knowledge and experience before unleashing it. Therefore, it is not surprising that such a person has such a destiny.

Whenever Kang Dabao recalled the scene when he was saved by the Daoist Black Shoes, he felt something was strange.

Moreover, the moment Sect Leader Kang Da met Buse, he felt that this monk was unfathomable. Kang Dabao had only ever felt this way before when he was cultivating on the bodies of Golden Core cultivators like Chu Yanran and Fei Nanying.

Suppressing his distracting thoughts, Kang Dabao pulled Fei Shuhe up and comforted her gently:

"Now we have no choice but to submit to orders. It seems that Funeng is just a slightly more skilled Buddhist cultivator. Even if he has received guidance from Gelie and has some good fortune, he is still not a Buddhist disciple of Original Response Temple, much less Golden Core cultivator or False Core. We are both at the Foundation Establishment, so what extraordinary abilities does he have? Do you think we can really defeat him in a one-on-one battle?"

"No, I'll find a way to stop my uncle from punishing me. It just means I'll have to plead with my aunt again."

The Sect Leader Kang Da found it amusing to see Fei Household, clenching her teeth. She thought to herself that young women were indeed less composed. Thus, when faced with such a major event involving the entire clan, Fei Shuhe completely lost her usual reserve and composure.

His behavior was just like Kang Dabao's when he refused to go back to Ying Prefecture with Fei Nanying to visit Fei Ye Shui, he was so indecisive. If it were any other time, Fei Shuhe would never have said such irrational things.

Kang Dabao held her soft hand tightly to calm her down, then said gently, "Uncle, it's difficult to blame you, but the She Mountain Hall cannot be ignored, nor can the Sima of the Earl of Nan'a Sima Office. No matter what, we can't hand this person over."

Only then did Fei Shuhe calm down a bit. Feeling somewhat uncomfortable with Sect Leader Kang Da's intimate gesture, she withdrew her hand, her face showing embarrassment and annoyance. "I think you're just reluctant to part with it, aren't you?"

"How could I, your husband, be such an unwise person?"

Wen Yu ignored him and forcefully broke free from his embrace, leaving Kang Dabao with only the lingering fragrance on her hands.

The latter did not stop her, but watched as the cool moonlight shone on Fei Shuhe's hurried steps, before murmuring to that beautiful figure, "Perhaps, she seems a little reluctant to part?"

After reading it, he shook his head and sneered, "But in this world, how can I decide whether I'm willing or not?"

Looking up again, he was greeted by a sky full of stars and dazzling light. After gazing at it for a while, Kang Dabao felt a surge of pride welling up inside him from this magnificent sight. "I never dared to imagine before that I would one day be able to compete with the disciples of a great sect."

At this point, Kang Dabao paused, bowed his head and sighed softly before letting out a faint laugh, "It's alright, it's alright! All these causes and effects are fortunate; I have no fear, no fear!"

Ten days later, Xuanwei City was quite lively, mainly because few of the talented individuals summoned to the state court traveled with such a light and simple entourage as the likes of Sect Leader Kang Da.

Even ordinary people of their status, no matter how simple their conduct, would need at least a few dozen people to accompany them. If you add in those who are fond of superstition and excitement, then there would be even more.

There were at least one or two thousand wealthy cultivators who came, which meant that many merchants in Xuanwei City had already made a profit before the start of the Xuanwei Dharma Assembly.

However, Kang Dabao and his two companions arrived together with Buse, but they were not attracted by the bustling scene in this great city. Instead, they went to Simaguan Temple together.

It was only on this occasion that Sect Leader Kang Da was able to see Fei Nanying's true form again after a long time.

Fei Nanying is much more unfathomable than before. It is said that after each True-Grade Golden Core is formed, the cultivation period is usually ten years, and even sixty years of seclusion is not uncommon.

Unfortunately Fei Nanying into a life of hardship, burdened with several crucial duties, making it difficult for him to properly cultivate himself.

Therefore, the reason why Kang Dabao was unable to see him before was not necessarily entirely because Boyue did not want to see him again and was just an excuse. The latter did indeed have many times when he was in seclusion and was really too busy to be there.

"Not bad," Fei Nanying to Sect Leader Kang Da. After saying just a few words, he had no intention of reminiscing and ordered his attendants to take Kang and Jiang away and settle them in.

As for Yuan Xiyue, who looked unwell the whole way, two Foundation Establishment old women came to meet her.

Kang Dabao recognized them as the two old women who served by Fei Household's Granny Liu. He was about to say a few words to Yuan Xiyue when the two old women stepped forward and stopped him.

The two brothers didn't argue, but Fei Nanying added, "No need to remind her, her fate has nothing to do with her. It all depends on how the nine of you on the field act."

Now that their master Boyue had finally spoken up, Sect Leader Kang Da naturally had to ask, "Has Boyue already decided that this young man has secured a place?"

Fei Nanying feigned surprise, saying in astonishment, "It was you who brought this trouble upon yourself by taking off your trousers. This time, I've coordinated all parties to create such a big commotion, isn't that also doing my part for your family? In that case, how could this matter be without you?"

Everyone knew that Fei Nanying's joke was completely inappropriate, and Kang Dabao couldn't take the blame for it. After all, regardless of Yuan Xiyue's current allegiance, none of the Cloud Horn Prefecture Court dared to let Funeng take her away so easily.

However, Kang Dabao dared not argue, and simply bowed again, saying, "Then I will go down first. If Boyue needs anything, just let me know."

"I know, I won't stand on ceremony with you." Fei Nanying waved his hand, then ignored Kang Dabao and asked behind him, "Have the three members of the Yang Household arrived yet? It mustn't be."

After seeing Kang Dabao and Jiang Qing leave, Fei Nanying instructed his men, "Pass down the word: tell those good-for-nothings in the clan not to provoke Kang Dabao."

"Yes, I just discussed this matter with my brothers and uncles in the clan a few days ago. Kang Dabao, after all, my son-in-law, and with that relationship, and considering how long ago he offended Ancestor Ye Shui, not to mention that even Ancestor Ye Sui was magnanimous and didn't hold it against him, it's really pointless for us younger generation to still nitpick his mistakes."

"You lot, still clinging to Kang Dabao's mistakes?" Fei Nanying glanced sideways at his nephew, who had just moved from Ying Prefecture to work, and said sarcastically, "Do you really think I sent that kid here just to make up the numbers?"

"This, Uncle."

"This Shannan Circuit is not as peaceful as Capital Circuit. If you don't curb your arrogant ways, you'll get your heads chopped off sooner or later." Fei Nanying's words alone made the young True Cultivator pale.

But he showed no sign of remaining silent, and continued, "Since I came to the She Mountain Hall, apart from those False Core elders and retainers, I'm afraid only the brothers Bofeng and Zhongyun can put up a fight against them. But if the two of them cannot join forces, their chances of winning may not be great."

"Hmm," the young True Cultivator exclaimed in surprise upon hearing the sound.

The high regard Fei Bofeng and Fei Zhongyun held in the Fei Household was evident from the fact that these two sons, born into the family and bestowed with the surname, were treated as close relatives by Clan Elder Dongwen and were granted the "Immortal Wei Thirteen-Story Ascension Method," a technique traditionally reserved for the Fei Household's direct lineage.

Not to mention, the Ying Shan Army that Jun Tianqin brought from the Fei family's Yingzhou ancestral lands was in the hands of the two brothers when neither he nor Fei Nanying were around. Even the fake alchemists in Sheshan Hall rarely managed to get their hands on it.

Given their backgrounds, the fact that these two brothers could rise to such high positions in the Fei Household suggests that they had already cultivated to the Foundation Establishment Peak and secured a spot as a Golden Core seed.

It's a pity that both of them are over a hundred years old and cannot participate in this round of battles, otherwise it would have been much safer.

Therefore, their status among their peers goes without saying. However, when it comes to their abilities, Fei Nanying said that they were still slightly inferior to the unremarkable mid-stage cultivator from before, which puzzled the young True Cultivator.

"You disagree? You don't believe me?"

"Your nephew wouldn't dare,"

"Since you dare not, does that mean you already have one?" Fei Nanying glanced at his nephew again and said:

"Let me say this again: there have been many foreign visitors lately, so don't cause any trouble. Otherwise, if I find out, I'll send you all to Liangxi Circuit to fight those Demon Beasts for sand. Those beasts won't know your lineage or your social standing."

"After I leave, I will make sure to remind my brothers and uncles of the things the head of the family has instructed me to do."

"In about three days, everyone will be assembled. After you go down, make sure to give instructions to each of the guests. When Elder Tianqin returns from the Cold Crow Mountain Range, he will select and review them. Tell them to prepare well."

"Nephew understands."

Kang Dabao had just seen the maidservant sent by Han Ningyue out of the room when he and Jiang Qing unfolded the brocade that Han Ningyue had given them.

The paper was covered with densely packed seal characters, recording the names of the outstanding talents who had come for this selection process.

Kang Dabao reviewed them one by one, and from his current perspective, apart from himself and Jiang Qing, there were only a few people who needed to be paid more attention to.

"Cao Xianlu, originally a lowly servant in the Savage Ghost Sect of Capital Circuit, Huang Prefecture Province, later enlisted in the army in Liangxi for half a century. He achieved the Ice Leaf Foundation Establishment and was accepted as a disciple of the Savage Ghost Sect's leader, who taught him the sect's supreme martial Cultivation Method, the 'Ghost Tiger Suppressing Prison Art,' and the dual cultivation of body and spirit. He is currently a general in the Ying Mountain Army, known for his decisive and ruthless killing."

Kang Dabao glanced again at the bold characters behind the name: It is said that Cao Xianlu made great contributions when the Ying Mountain Army captured Rogue Cultivator Golden Core Lie Zijun in Ying Prefecture last time. He should not be regarded as an ordinary Foundation Establishment.

"Yang Wuwei, the seventh son of the Ye Prefecture Yang Household in Shannan Circuit, learned the Yang Household family's clan-protected Cultivation Method, 'Azure Scale Mountain-Bearing Art,' from a young age and has been preparing to Core Formation core for ten years. Half a century ago, he led one hundred Qi Refinement disciples of the Yang Household and fought against False Core cultivator from a collateral branch of the Yang Household for three days without defeat."

Kang Dabao pondered for a moment, "The two direct descendants of the Yang Household family are of poor quality. After so many years of cultivation, it seems that only two or three have emerged from the Foundation Establishment, and they are all stuck in the early stage. Therefore, Yang Wuwei can be considered a pillar of the Ye Prefecture Yang Household."

"Fei Enxing, the direct grandson of False Core Fei Donggu of the She Mountain Hall, a cultivator with Single Spirit Root, has mastered the Vast-Tier Superior-Grade sword technique 'Reed Wind Three Turns'. During the last Fei Household competition, he was punished for losing to Kang Dabao, who used a talisman beyond his rank."

Afterwards, he devoted himself to cultivation. When he emerged from seclusion last year, he was invited by the eldest son of the Yang Household to become sworn brothers with seven disciples from major sects around him. Since the place of the alliance was in Ao Mountain Ridge, the seven of them called themselves the Seven Heroes of Ao Mountain and ranked themselves according to their skills.

At that time, Fei Enxing outshone several Foundation Establishment cultivators who had been cultivating for years, and was only slightly inferior to the eldest son of the Yang Household who had already reached the False Core. At less than a hundred years old, he ranked ahead of all the Golden Core disciples, becoming the second eldest among the seven. This quickly became a popular story in the surrounding area.

Although Kang Dabao was the winner of the last small competition, he remembered that Fei Enxing was only about to reach the Foundation Establishment Late Stage at that time.

In less than twenty years, his cultivation has already reached the Foundation Establishment Peak! The speed of cultivation of Single Spirit Root cultivator is truly enviable to Mixed Spirit Root cultivators like Kang Dabao, who can barely compare to Triple Spirit Root -root cultivator.

It seems that although Fei Enxing's Dao Foundation has only reached the Green Leaf stage, his cultivation is already much faster than Fei Enhua, who was previously highly regarded by the Fei family's senior cultivators. Given the Fei family's resources as a first-rate family, if they are properly nurtured, Fei Enxing may not necessarily fail to form his core in the future.

Besides the three mentioned above, there was another person who beckoned Kang Dabao to look at him.

"Qin Sufu, a disciple of Yin Hongying, a rogue cultivator from Yunjiao Prefecture, is a second-tier low-grade talisman master. In the 424th year of the Qianfeng reign, he was appointed as the military commander of the Sima Mansion in Yunjiao Prefecture, a position he has held ever since. Later, he married the eldest daughter of the Yue family in Hancheng and was taught the Yue family's millennium-old mid-grade cosmic-level cultivation technique, the Three Revolutions Cold Jade Technique."

Under the painstaking cultivation of Yue Lin, the head of the Yue Household, for many years, he has now reached the Foundation Establishment Late Stage. In the battle to pacify Ding Prefecture a few years ago, he and six other True Cultivator assisted the fake Sima Gun Shilu of the state court, and together they killed Yuting Pill Master of the Hongyi Sect, and were awarded the highest merit.

Upon seeing this, Sect Leader Kang Da couldn't help but sigh. Roughly calculating, this fellow Daoist was less than ten years older than him.

The reason he was able to achieve such good fortune after being cultivated by the Yue Household is not only because his Dual Spirit Root are exceptionally outstanding, but also because he must have other extraordinary qualities. Otherwise, given Yue Lin's behavior, he wouldn't have been so foolish as to invest so much in someone from another family.

Kang Dabao thought to himself, "Brother Qin is indeed a disciple favored by Lord Shan. Even I can't catch up with him in terms of cultivation. Only such an outstanding person can make these aristocratic Aristocratic Clan offer some real treasures to win people's hearts. I think as long as he continues to advance so rapidly, he shouldn't have to worry too much about becoming a marginal figure in the state court in the future."

He then thought, "If I can win this battle against the abbot of that temple, my Boyue will surely be able to overcome all opposition and be more willing to invest more resources in me, won't he?"

Therefore, this round of battles with the Khenpo is also an opportunity for Kang Dabao. If he can regain Fei Nanying's trust, he, the Sect Leader Kang Da, and his disciples will be able to be a little more stable in this great tide.

Although Chu Yanran is close to her family, she is ultimately all alone. In the face of adversity, she may be able to protect herself with her Golden Core cultivation, but she will find it extremely difficult to ensure the safety of the Chongming Sect.

Judging from this instance alone, if Funeng had chosen a female cultivator close to Chu Yanran as his consort, she would have had little chance of stopping him and would most likely have been forced to watch helplessly as she was led away.

"The remaining brothers are Yang Wudi and Yang Wuxin from the Yang family, and Zhou Yun, the top disciple of Wu Feng, a rogue cultivator at the Golden Core stage, who is somewhat worthy of attention. As for the others, they are all about the same, and there are reasons for who should be ranked higher or lower."

Thinking of this, Kang Dabao shifted his gaze to Jiang Qing beside him, "I wonder how much my Little Sanzi has improved now, and whether he can compete with those high-level disciples mentioned above."

"However, why didn't my Tai Shui send me information about the abbot's abilities as well? Right now, I only know that he is Golden Core disciple and has cultivated to the 'Pure Lotus First Ground Aspect,' but what else is there? Could it be that even the Fei Household can't find out?"

Kang Dabao's doubts remained unresolved, but fortunately, the three-day period passed quickly.

During this period Kang Dabao and Jiang Qing also welcomed and saw off many talented individuals from various companies who came to participate in the selection process.

The two got along quite well with them. Although the cultivators had very different personalities and ways of doing things, there were none of those arrogant and domineering young masters. Therefore, the discord that Sect Leader Kang Da had worried about beforehand did not happen in the end.

As the morning bell rang, the cultivators, led by the soldiers of the Sima Office, landed at the training ground outside the city.

Just as everyone had taken their places, Juntian Bird and a group of high-ranking officials from the state court arrived from the other side of the sky.

Although the old bird had concealed its form, its eyes were still as large as cartwheels. After coldly sweeping over the various talents radiating different spiritual lights in the training ground, it turned to Fei Nanying and asked with a sneer, "These are the outstanding talents from the five states that you've spent so many days selecting?"

These words were quite harsh, and everyone in the training ground harbored a bit of pride. However, seeing that all the elders of the various families were present, and that the speaker was the patriarch of the Ying Prefecture Fei Household, they suppressed their anger and kept quiet.

Fei Nanying forward and replied, "Elder, please calm your anger. The matter arose suddenly, and in the rush, this was all we could find."

"Are there no people coming from Five Old Mothers Mountain?"

"His family suffered a mishap during a trial more than forty years ago, resulting in the loss of most of their elite disciples. As a result, they are currently facing a talent gap, and it's difficult for them to field ordinary individuals. If they were to send a disciple to fight, it might be a loss of face."

"Heh, they probably fear that even their current Daoist disciple wouldn't be able to defeat Funeng, so they're using this as an excuse. Oh well, if their family hadn't been afraid of their lineage ending after Old Man Yueyin's death, they wouldn't have boarded the ship so quickly. But judging from their current generation, they probably still won't be able to protect this Nascent Soul sect."

"Master Zong is wise."

"Stop flattering me! Quickly summon back those elite youths from the Ying Prefecture clan. Look at the people in the She Mountain Hall now, how dare you laugh at the lack of promising young talents at Five Old Mothers Mountain?"

"If it weren't for you, the position of the She Mountain Hall as the direct lineage would have been hard to maintain, and it would have been only natural for it to become a distant branch. After all, we once had a Golden Core cultivator as a predecessor; how could the family's descendants have withered away like this?"

At this moment, even if Juntian Bird was quite critical and his words were wrong, Fei Nanying did not argue with the old bird, but simply bowed deeply.

After reprimanding Fei Nanying, Juntian Bird snorted coldly, then faced the training ground and loudly proclaimed:

"After three breaths, those who obtain the feather shall remain in the arena, while the rest shall disperse and return home to cultivate diligently, hoping that next time they come out, they will not disgrace their elders as they have today."

This selection method was clearly unexpected by all the cultivators present. Although it was surprising, they dared not refuse and immediately bowed in agreement.

Afterwards, the cultivators in the arena felt a cold wind brush their faces. After a moment, the cold wind dissipated, and nine people with feathers on their shoulders appeared as messengers.

Kang Dabao removed the golden feather from his shoulder but didn't examine it closely. Instead, he first looked around.

The nine people who received the feathers were largely as he had predicted: Cao Xianlu, the three members of the Yang Household, Zhou Yun, and Qin Sufu were among them. What surprised him slightly was that Fei Enxing was not selected.

Of the remaining three feathers, Kang Dabao and Fei Wen, a illegitimate member of the Fei Household with whom he had previously had a relationship, each took one, while the last one fell on Jiang Qing's shoulder.

What surprised Sect Leader Kang Da even more was that Fei Enxing still dared to defy him.

Elder Zong!

The moment those two simple words were uttered, the cultivators present could sense the astonishment and resentment in Fei Enxing's heart.

"Shut up! This matter was decided by Elder Zong, how dare you, an ignorant brat, utter a single word?!" Fei Nanying shouted angrily, and was about to use his power to throw Fei Enxing out.

Unexpectedly, Juntian Bird stopped him with a word:

"Wait!"

The old bird gave Fei Nanying another cold look, and after a long while said, "You seem to have spoiled your family too much. Even at this point, you still want to make concessions for them?!"

The latter's face darkened, and he was about to explain when Juntian Bird turned to Fei Enxing and asked, "In your opinion, which of the nine people here can you defeat?"

Fei Enxing had clearly seen Fei Nanying's signal, but now that he was in such a precarious position, his pride wouldn't allow him to back down.

He didn't shy away from Juntian Bird's sharp gaze, scanning each of the nine people remaining in the arena.

His pride wouldn't allow him to pick on Jiang Qing, the weakest opponent in the arena, to fight. Besides, he had already been thinking about finding someone to avenge his previous humiliation.

Upon seeing Sect Leader Kang Da preparing to disappear into the crowd, Fei Enxing's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he pointed a finger. "Elder Zong, I can fight this man."

Kang Dabao's retreating steps faltered, and then a look of helplessness appeared on his face.

Juntian Bird and the surrounding Golden Core cultivators had different expressions, but in the end, he only sneered at Fei Nanying, "The descendants of the She Mountain Hall certainly have good eyesight."

After speaking, without waiting for Fei Nanying's reaction, it called Kang Dabao closer. After the latter respectfully bowed again, the old bird finally spoke:

"I, your ancestor, am not afraid of losing face. While you're having a cup of tea, teach this unworthy scion of the Fei Household a good lesson. Let him set a good example for me and correct their arrogant attitude. I want to see when they'll be able to pick up the face they've lost!"

(Sorry, something came up and I'm a little late.)
