"I'd like to see if you dare to kill me!!"

Village Chief Liang was really going all out. So many outer disciples had been promoted in the village, and none of them dared to disregard him.

Of course, he only said this because Xu Han was present.

Although Xu Han had sent all his servants to town, he still treated the old man with great respect and would come to visit him from time to time.

He refused to believe that Xu Han would stand by and watch someone die. With his cultivation at the sixth level of Qi Refining, how could he not defeat a fourth-level cultivator?

Sure enough, before Liang Ze could get close to the front line, Xu Han stopped him.

"Junior brother, Elder Liang is the uncle of Senior Brother Liang from the inner sect. You've finally made it to the next level... don't ruin your future so easily!"

Seeing this fire control technique combined with the previous water shield, Xu Han hesitated for a moment.

Otherwise, given Ye Feng's arrogant attitude, he would have already taken him down.

Ye Feng sighed inwardly.

This sect... in the end, it's all about human relationships and worldly wisdom.

I don't care about myself, but Yang Fu is getting old. If I offend everyone, it will eventually implicate him.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng waved his hand to disperse the fire line, then cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Xu Han.

"In that case, I wonder which mountain this Senior Brother Liang has entered? I'd like to visit him when I have time and have a discussion with him."

"Which...which mountain peak?"

Xu Han was speechless. He turned to look at Old Man Liang, and the two of them stared at each other in bewilderment.

Kou Ying, who was standing nearby, spoke up at the opportune moment.

"Senior Brother Xu, this is Senior Brother Ye Feng from Qingcao Peak, a disciple of Uncle Li Qinghe... an inner disciple!"

Kou Ying's voice wasn't loud, but it was like a thunderclap from a clear sky.

The crowd watching from outside were practically bowing down in admiration.

"Inner...inner disciple!"

"He's entered the mountain peak and become an inner disciple who has reached the Foundation Establishment stage!!"

...

Everyone now saw Ye Feng no longer as a naive young man; he was now clearly a reclusive master.

Just getting a single outer gate was enough to excite them like winning the lottery.

Inner disciples...that's like the richest person in a province or city you see on TV.

Not to mention joining the mountain peak as a Foundation Establishment disciple,

To this village, that status was no different from Wang Congcong's in his previous life; even standing close by was considered advantageous...

Xu Han was stunned,

Liang Ze took several steps back, his old face trembling as he looked at Yang Fu, who was equally surprised, and couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Although his nephew Liang Kuan had already reached the eighth level of Qi Refining, he would often talk to him about how the disciples who had become disciples and entered the peak were doing.

If entering the inner sect means that reaching the Foundation Establishment stage is as easy as having one toe, then...

The disciple who became an apprentice and entered the peak stepped halfway in.

With a master guiding them, how can the disciples who still have to rely on their own efforts compare?

"Xu Han from the Formation Hall greets Senior Brother Ye! I apologize for any offense I may have caused you earlier!"

"Junior Brother Xu, you're too kind! Ignorance is no excuse!"

Xu Han was very pragmatic and adopted a humble attitude, while Ye Feng was certainly not a petty person either.

Ye Feng had long wanted to get to know the people from the Array Formation Hall, not just those specializing in array formations.

He also wanted to get to know the Talisman and Weapon Halls.

Having a cheat ability to exchange for rare spiritual materials is perfect for building connections.

These people usually have their own small sales circles. Once you break into those circles, you won't have to worry about selling your pills.

For a moment, the two exchanged polite words, creating an awkward atmosphere.

Xu Han was even more impressed by Ye Feng's approachable nature, and frequently praised him.

However, because Ye Feng's spell level was too high, and he cast it without leaving a trace, even he couldn't tell what level Ye Feng was at.

Of course, even if it's only the fourth level of Qi Refining, that still makes one a close disciple, someone rarely seen even in the outer sect...

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Ye Feng changed the subject.

“Junior Brother Xu, Junior Sister Kou and I actually came down the mountain on a mission, and we saw the three of them bullying my elder. This is the only relative I have, like my own grandfather. Tell me, does he deserve to be bullied?”

Yang Fu, watching from behind, felt greatly gratified to see Ye Feng chatting so easily with Xu Han, a senior outer disciple.

The young master has grown up. Even if he dies, it won't matter; he won't be bullied...

In the blink of an eye, he heard Ye Feng say that he was like a real grandfather to him, and he was so excited that tears streamed down his face again.

Even if Ye Feng only said that for show, he still felt he could die without regrets...

Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Xu Han's face showed a hint of embarrassment. If Ye Feng hadn't intervened, he might have made a grave mistake.

However, since it involved the other three outer disciples, he couldn't make a direct and arbitrary decision. He could only turn his gaze to Liang Ze, who was standing to the side.

The once arrogant village chief, Liang, had been watching silently for a long time. Seeing that the two were turning their gazes towards him...

Village chief Liang, who upheld justice and was unafraid of powerful figures, coughed lightly.

"Ahem... What are you all still standing there for? Arrest them both!"

"Arrest again?" The guards were somewhat confused, yet dared not disobey orders.

Their masters or family members are still just menial disciples; let alone inner disciples, even outer disciples on duty outside could easily deal with them.

Upon hearing the village chief's instructions, they could only lower their heads, as if they had been deaf.

"What are you all waiting for? Zhang Changgui, Li Er, you've illegally occupied land and bullied others, arrest them!"

As she spoke, she gave Ye Feng a fawning smile, and seeing Ye Feng nod, she was greatly encouraged.

"And Ouyang He on the ground, the three of them conspired to bully the inner disciple's close relatives, they should all be handed over to the town!"

In the end, those who are opportunistic tend to live longer.

Even if Ye Feng disliked such a person, he had to admit that with someone like that around, Yang Fu would definitely be able to enjoy a life of leisure.

The matter has finally been settled.

No one paid attention to Li Er and Zhang Changgui's screams and pleas for mercy as they were dragged away; instead, many people jumped out to criticize them.

Those who had been oppressed before all stood up; there was no need to even collect evidence.

Seeing how sensible the "village chief" was, Ye Feng reciprocated by leaving his contact number and promising to establish "diplomatic relations" with Liang Kuan in the future and to communicate more when they had time.

After seeing everyone off, Ye Feng and Kou Ying helped Yang Fu tidy up.

Apart from the blood-stained ones, all the other rice grains were collected.

"Afu, you should move to town. I'll buy you a small courtyard in a few days."

"No need, no need, this place is fine, and it even has spiritual energy. Everyone says it can extend your life by a few years, something you can't trade for!"

Yang Fu said with a smile, then gave Ye Feng some more instructions.

"Now that the young master has money, he must use it sparingly and not waste it... Also..."

At this point, a hint of hesitation appeared on Yang Fu's face.

"Now that I've killed Ouyang He, the young master's marriage is probably in jeopardy..."

"Don't worry, even if you didn't kill him, the marriage still wouldn't go through," Ye Feng said casually as he cleaned up.

Yang Fu's face lit up with surprise. Before, when he brought this up, Ye Feng would always be furious. Now, Ye Feng had truly grown up.

Thinking of this, Yang Fu moved closer.

"Young Master, this... your junior sister, I think she's very good, you two..."

In Yang Fu's view, the fact that the two of them did tasks together and even helped him, an old man, with farm work meant their relationship was definitely not ordinary.

"What are you saying? I only met him for the first time today. You seem quite robust, old man, you could easily take on three people at once."

"How about I buy you a yard, and find you three or five strong, healthy older women? Maybe they can give you ten or eight babies next year. What do you think?"

Yang Fu was outmaneuvered and blushed with embarrassment.

Not only him, but Kou Ying also walked further and further away. Fortunately, it was late, and she was already quite dark-skinned, so her blushing wasn't noticeable.

My ears are burning a bit...
