At this point, Bai Tianrui gave the man a deep look, "Senior brother...you will help me, right..."

Upon hearing this, Pan Mingzhe's fingertips trembled slightly, and a faint smile suddenly appeared on his usually expressionless face. He seemed to be amused as he said, "Interesting... Are you... threatening me?"

"Tianrui wouldn't dare!" Bai Tianrui lowered his head and gritted his teeth. "However... if Senior Brother stands by and does not help, and Master forces me, and I, being clumsy with words, say something, then who knows what might happen..."

"Hahahaha..." Pan Mingzhe finally burst out laughing, "Bai Tianrui, Bai Tianrui, after all these years, this is truly the first time I've seen you in a different light... Of course I'll help you, because... you're my own junior brother!"

Seeing the man's appearance, Bai Tianrui felt a chill run down his spine. He quickly stood up, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said, "Then... then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Brother! From now on, Junior Brother will follow your lead!"

After saying that, he quickly fled the room.

Inside the room, Pan Mingzhe's face was gloomy. He waved his hand lightly, "Go... find out what this 'Piggy Hero' is all about!"

...

On the other side, Shen Yunhao brought Pang Shunan back to the inn where he had arranged to meet Ma Tianyu. The young man was still immersed in the sadness of "heartbreak" and remained silent.

As evening approached, Ma Tianyu burst through the door, his face flushed with excitement, clearly having made quite a haul.

"Hey? Brother Shen, Miss Mu! You're back so early?"

"What..." Shen Yunhao looked at him teasingly, "Brother Ma, have you seen quite a few beautiful women?"

"Hey! Don't make fun of me, bro. You think it's easy to go around asking around for pretty girls?"

"..."

Mu Shuangshuang wasn't in a high mood. She just stood by the window, watching people come and go on the street outside, lost in thought.

Ma Tianyu glanced at Mu Shuangshuang, then at the distraught Pang Shunan, blinked, and asked in puzzlement, "Huh? What's wrong, Brother Pang? You look so pale. Did you see your childhood sweetheart?"

"Alright, Brother Ma!" Shen Yunhao quickly stopped him, "Let's not talk about that, let's talk about something good! Which beautiful women did you see today?"

"Ice Fairy Ning Yuyao!"

"puff--"

One sentence made Shen Yunhao spit out his drink, his face full of disbelief, "What? You said Ning Yuyao is in the city?"

On the other side, Mu Shuangshuang immediately turned her head, a look of surprise on her face.

"What the hell?!"

At this point, Ma Tianyu immediately showed a look of regret, "I found out that this Ice Fairy was in Linxian City a few days ago! What a pity, we're too late. She already took the Lingxiao Flying Boat to Wanren City yesterday! Alas, what a missed opportunity!"

"Oh? Ning Yuyao has already set off?"

Shen Yunhao stroked his chin and asked again, "Brother Ma, where did you find out about this?"

"You think I'm the only one in the world who cares about the Ice Fairy?" Ma Tianyu scoffed, hands in his pockets. "A beauty of Ice Fairy's caliber would attract countless people's attention the moment she appears in public! Naturally, she'd be remembered very easily..."

As he said this, Ma Tianyu subconsciously glanced at Mu Shuangshuang.

It seems to mean:

Isn't your partner the same?

If you're so capable, make her take off her veil and walk around the streets. Even if she's not the Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect, the whole city will know about it immediately!

"All right……"

Shen Yunhao was still a little puzzled. Given Ning Yuyao's personality, it was unlikely that she would appear in public. He wondered if it was a mistake or something else, but she was recognized by passersby.

"By the way, Brother Shen, what exactly happened to Brother Pang? You better tell me clearly!"

Seeing that he couldn't hide it any longer, Shen Yunhao had no choice but to briefly recount Bai Tianrui and Chi Dandan's sordid affair, as well as how Bai Tou forced the other party to return the money and apologize.

"What?!" Upon hearing this, Ma Tianyu slammed his hand on the table, sending the teapot flying high into the air. "Outrageous! This pair of scoundrels! Ungrateful! Worse than pigs and dogs!"

He was so angry that his beard bristled, and he pointed at Pang Shun'an, furious at his lack of ambition. "Brother Pang! Look at this! What did I tell you before? Women! Especially women with some looks who have entered the immortal sect, they're very cunning! You just wouldn't believe me! Now do you believe me?"

Pang Shunan remained silent, only lowering his head even further.

"Alright, Brother Ma, they've suffered enough already, why are you adding fuel to the fire?"

"Damn it! If this weren't Linxian City, I would have fought those two scoundrels to the death!"

Shen Yunhao knew that this was Ma Tianyu's impulsive words. Even if this was not Linxian City, in front of the powerful Baihe Temple, this man would not act on a whim!

"The problem now is that those two have suffered a great loss and will surely hold a grudge. It's not safe for Brother Pang to stay here or return to Yunzhou alone!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Tianyu immediately calmed down and pondered, "Brother Shen is right! Brother Pang, it's too dangerous for you to go alone. Why don't you... come with us to Wanren City? The Sword Tournament is very lively, it's a good time to relax and get away from this unlucky place! At least with us here, Baihe Temple can protect you..."

Pang Shunan raised his head, intending to refuse, but after glancing at the faces of Shen Yunhao, Mu Shuangshuang, and Ma Tianyu who were all looking at him, he mechanically nodded, sighed, and said in a hoarse voice, "...Okay."

Shen Yunhao immediately said, "Then that's settled! We don't need to linger in Linxian City any longer. Tomorrow morning, we'll take a flying boat straight to Wanren City!"

...

Pan Mingzhe's orders were extremely efficient; within just half a day, a detailed intelligence report was presented to him.

Pan Mingzhe frowned deeply as he looked at the three large characters "Shen Yunhao" on the intelligence report.

"Tsk tsk tsk... We even ran into a celebrity, the Moon Palace... the North Sea Dragon Palace..."

He muttered to himself, his eyes flashing with light and shadow.

The forces behind Shen Yunhao are too powerful; once you provoke them, the consequences will be endless.

However, at this moment, his gaze shifted to another name in the intelligence report, and a cruel smile slowly curved his lips.

"Senior brother..." Bai Tianrui stepped forward and asked with anticipation.

"GG ​​Bond...we can't move for now."

Pan Mingzhe said calmly, "He... is someone you absolutely cannot afford to offend!"

"What……"

Upon hearing this, Bai Tianrui turned deathly pale with shock. "This...how could this be...then I am..."

Pan Mingzhe glanced at him indifferently, "Tsk tsk, but it concerns the reputation of Baihe Temple, we can't ignore it..."

At this moment, the man smiled faintly, "Whether you want to keep your status as a core disciple or not depends on what you do next..."

Bai Tianrui was slightly taken aback. "Senior... what do you want to say?"

"First of all... that piece of junk can't be kept any longer!"
