At the same time, in a courtyard of the Canglan Sword Sect, two people were sitting opposite each other. One person was speaking passionately, gesturing wildly with his hands, clearly very emotional. It was Huang Qing, who had left early before.
“Big Brother, this Ren Pingsheng is definitely my nemesis. If it weren't for him, I might have secured a top three position this time. I don't care; you must help me get rid of him so that I can feel at ease.”
“I didn't expect that kid to grow so quickly and actually take first place among the outer disciples. I really underestimated him back then,” Huang Feng said with a troubled expression.
“Big Brother, you need to eliminate him sooner rather than later. Once he becomes an inner disciple and his strength increases, he will definitely seek revenge on you,” Huang Qing's tone was full of encouragement.
“What you say makes sense; I can't be careless. Once he becomes an inner disciple, I will naturally deal with him. I won't give him any room to grow!”
“Big Brother, are you planning something?” His tone was uncertain but hinted at a glimmer of excitement.
“Hmph, although the sect rules state that disciples cannot harm each other, isn't there the Life and Death Platform to resolve conflicts? Once he becomes an inner disciple, I will immediately challenge him,” Huang Feng said fiercely. His words were quite satisfying, as if Ren Pingsheng would soon cease to exist.
“Haha, with Big Brother's cultivation at the ninth level of Qi Refining, it will be as easy as stepping on an ant! I need to break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining quickly so that I can watch the fight in person. Big Brother, I'm out of pills!” Huang Qing said happily, not forgetting to ask for pills.
“Things like Gathering Qi Pills will be less effective once you become an inner disciple. So after your breakthrough this time, it's better to calm down and focus on your cultivation!”
“Don't worry, Big Brother! Once you help me get rid of that Ren Pingsheng guy and my mind is free from burdens, even without pills, I can still cultivate well! You know my talent is not bad.”
“With good talent, you must make good use of it and strive to become a strong warrior in the future. In a couple of days, I'll have someone send them to you.” After chatting for a while longer, the two parted ways.
Ren Pingsheng had no idea that someone was preparing to harm him behind his back. However, even if he knew, he would have to wait until he became an inner disciple to have a chance to resolve it.
On the way down the mountain, six figures flickered occasionally; it was Ren Pingsheng and the other five. Ren Pingsheng had only practiced for a little over an hour that morning when Chu Xiao dragged him out and called Kong Zhan and Fei Hou along with four others to head towards Canglan City together.
“It’s still early to go to Canglan City; even if we hurry there, it won’t be time for lunch yet,” Ren Pingsheng said somewhat frustratedly. He had originally planned to practice the Gale Sword Technique but had only practiced three moves before being pulled away.
“Hehe, practicing every day is boring. It’s just right to go stroll around Canglan City and relax,” Chu Xiao immediately chimed in with a look that suggested he had foresight.
“Brother Chu has a point; I haven’t had a chance to explore Canglan City yet!” Kong Zhan said with a smile beside them, also looking interested.
“You’re always looking for fights or challenges. I’m afraid once you enter the Canglan Sword Sect, you won’t even leave the mountain!” Wei Ziqi said with amusement.
"Uh, I've really never been down the mountain!" As soon as a few people heard this, they burst into laughter.
"This Canglan City is so prosperous, much better than the small town I lived in before." After wandering around the city for a while, Kong Zhan looked full of admiration. The city he lived in was a level four city, which could be considered a small town with a population of about three to four hundred thousand. Naturally, it couldn't compare to this level three city.
"Of course, this place has a population of several million, so it's naturally bustling. Since we're out today, you can take your time to explore," Fei Hou said with a gentle smile, clearly familiar with such cities.
"And here you can find all kinds of weapons and Elixirs. I've heard that occasionally there are magical artifacts for sale, but those are quite rare," Liu Wuyun also seemed familiar with the place, indicating he had been here a few times.
"Then I'll go check out the weapon shop and broaden my horizons," Kong Zhan said, his interest piqued at the mention of weapons.
"Then let's each go to places that interest us and see if there's anything good," Fei Hou said with a smile upon seeing the situation. The group laughed and parted ways.
About two hours later, close to noon, everyone returned to Canglan Tavern with their findings. Ren Pingsheng held a book in his hand filled with legends and anecdotes. He found it very interesting and decided to buy it.
"Waiter, bring me some good wine and dishes, especially your Celestial Fragrance Wine; bring me two jars first." As soon as Chu Xiao entered the tavern, he shouted immediately.
"Sure thing, sir! Please have a seat. Good wine and dishes will be here shortly." The six of them found a table and sat down; there were some people in the tavern but not too many.
"Why not go upstairs? Isn't it quieter up there?" Ren Pingsheng asked curiously.
"Haha. You don't understand this. The first floor has more people eating and drinking, so you often hear some interesting stories," Chu Xiao said disdainfully as he explained the reason.
"It seems you come to places like this often; I didn't expect that," Wei Ziqi remarked in surprise.
"Of course! Back in the day, we also... coming here often isn't unusual; it's just a tavern."
"Oh really? It seems you have some stories to tell. Not simple at all," the others chuckled. Although he only spoke half of it, they could guess something from it.
"What's so funny? The food and drinks are here; let's eat quickly. I haven't tasted this Celestial Fragrance Wine in a long time; I'll have a glass first." Chu Xiao said impatiently and was instantly captivated by the wine.
"Haha, I'll have a glass too! Wine is great!" Kong Zhan also helped himself without hesitation.
"Drink slowly; no need to worry; there's more after this," they chatted and laughed together. This Canglan Tavern truly lived up to its reputation as the largest in the city, with top-notch food and drink.
"You're not simple, daring to come to our Canglan Tavern and dine and dash." A sudden argument broke out nearby, drawing the attention of the six.
"Hmph, I would dine and dash. If it weren't for my... my money being stolen, I wouldn't owe you a meal." A handsome young man, dressed in a silk robe and holding a Folding Fan, appeared quite refined. He didn't seem like someone who would dine and dash.
"No matter how well you speak, if you don't pay today, don't think you can leave." The waiter had an unyielding attitude.
"What... what kind of attitude is this? How about this, I'll leave my Folding Fan here as collateral; it's enough to cover a meal." The handsome young man's face flushed as he hesitated before speaking.
"A broken fan is of no use to me. If you don't pay up, I'll have someone teach you a lesson."
"How can you be so unreasonable? My money was really stolen. I have no money to give you."
"No money, huh? It seems that if I don't teach you a lesson, you won't understand the consequences of our tavern." The waiter's face was stern as he was about to shout for help.
"I'll pay for him; how much is it?" Suddenly, Ren Pingsheng shouted from not far away, even surprising himself.
"Ah! You're going to pay for him? Don't be fooled by his fancy clothes; he dares to dine and dash without shame. You're truly kind-hearted."
"Enough with the nonsense; just tell me how much it is." Kong Zhan said irritably while drinking.
"Oh, it's a total of five taels of silver. Thank you, sir!" The waiter wore a fawning expression.
"May I ask your name? Thank you so much for helping me out; I'm truly embarrassed!" The handsome young man stepped forward and clasped his fists in gratitude.
"No need to take it to heart; it was just a small effort," Ren Pingsheng replied with a smile.
"Exactly, exactly, no need to worry about it. But I feel like I've seen you somewhere before; don’t we know each other?" Chu Xiao suddenly spoke up with some confusion.
"Ah... oh, maybe I resemble your friend?" The handsome young man glanced at Chu Xiao, his expression slightly changing before he quickly regained his composure.
"Maybe so. I suppose you're not him; he wouldn't come all the way out here."
"By the way, judging by your attire, you must be disciples from a nearby sect!"
"We are disciples of the Azure Wind Sword Sect. May I ask for your name, young master?" Ren Pingsheng replied.
"Uh, you can just call me Chu Gongzi. For now, I'll leave this Folding Fan with you. Next time we meet, I'll redeem it," the handsome young master said seriously.
"No need for that, it's just a matter of a few taels of silver."
"No, you helped me this time, so I can't be ungrateful. In the future, if we meet again, you can use this Folding Fan to ask me for a favor within my capabilities. Well, I have things to attend to, so I'll take my leave now. I hope to see you again soon!"
After saying that, he left without giving them a chance to refuse, placing the Folding Fan on the table as he departed. The others were momentarily stunned, and by the time they reacted, he had already vanished.
"What just happened? How did he leave his fan behind and disappear?" Chu Xiao blinked, still somewhat confused and unable to grasp the situation.
"I don't know either, but since he left it behind, you should keep it. You might find it useful later!" Fei Hou said after taking a sip of wine, looking somewhat intrigued.
"Could he be the young master of some major power? Otherwise, why would he say that holding this fan could allow him to do something for us in the future?" Wei Ziqi remarked surprisingly.
"That shouldn't be the case! Forget it; let's just drink and not think about those things. There's no point in pondering over these strange occurrences," Ren Pingsheng said while stroking his chin. Who knows if they would encounter him again? There was no use in worrying about it.
"Haha, you're right. We finally got out; let's drink! Cheers!" The group then put the matter aside and raised their cups, quickly downing several glasses of Celestial Fragrance Wine.
Meanwhile, at the lord's mansion in Canglan City, the handsome young master was chatting and laughing with a middle-aged man. It seemed that Wei Ziqi's guess was indeed correct; he was someone of significant standing.
