"Alright, alright, go back now. Xie Zhou, Luo Fantian, you two come with me for a moment."
Lingfeng waved his hand, summoned Xie Zhou and Luo Fantian, and then walked directly towards the Frost Palace.
"Xie Zhou, what were you saying just now!"
Luo Fantian scratched his head, making Xie Zhou feel a little embarrassed.
"That Xiong Yue was never a good person to begin with. We're just teaching him a lesson and letting others who look down on us see what happens when they bully us."
Xie Zhou couldn't explain it clearly to Luo Fantian in just a few words, so he decided to keep it as simple as possible.
"Xie Zhou, do you know your mistake!"
As soon as Xie Zhou stepped into the gates of the Frost Palace, Ling Feng's overwhelming aura pressed down on him.
With a "thump," Xie Zhou immediately knelt down on both knees.
"What wrong have I done! Does the sect leader's disciple have to be bullied by this kind of Sword Sect bully?!"
Xie Zhou gritted his teeth and persevered, refusing to give in.
His lips were bleeding from being bitten.
"Immortal Venerable, this matter has nothing to do with Xie Zhou. It's all my fault. Xiong Yue is my enemy. Xie Zhou was standing up for me and that's why he fought Xiong Yue!"
Upon seeing Xie Zhou's state, Luo Fantian knelt down and hurriedly said...
"If I am not here, who in this sect can guarantee your safety!"
Lingfeng waved her sleeve, and the force pressing down on Xie Zhou disappeared immediately. Xie Zhou leaned back, but she managed to support herself and got up with trembling legs.
"Leaving aside the first point, since Master is in the Frost Palace, if the sect leader's disciple is so weak and bullied, people will look down on him, and in the end, it will be you who loses face, Master!"
Xie Zhou was quick-witted, but Ling Feng narrowed his eyes.
"If we're going to die, what's the point of fighting for pride?"
Lingfeng let out a long sigh.
"Master just wants to tell you that the world is dangerous and beyond the comprehension of a child your age. This Xiong clan chief is extremely petty. Today you have hurt his precious son. If you encounter him in the future, you must be extremely careful."
Xie Zhou thought Ling Feng would be angry, but to his surprise, Ling Feng not only wasn't angry, but also gave Xie Zhou and Luo Fantian a piece of advice.
"Thank you for your teachings, Master."
"Thank you for your teachings, Immortal Venerable."
Luo Fantian and Xie Zhou spoke in unison.
...
"Xie Zhou, Xie Zhou, calm down. The Immortal Venerable just wanted to tell us that when you don't have enough strength, the best approach is to lie low."
Luo Fantian followed behind Xie Zhou, and now he seemed to be Xie Zhou's follower.
"Don't worry, I'm not angry. I'm just thinking about how I can become even better."
Xie Zhou smiled.
"Hey, system, I just broke someone's bones, which is a bad thing, right? Hurry up! Give me some points! Do you have any cultivation techniques? Give me a couple right now!"
Xie Zhou hadn't even returned to his room when he started urging the system.
"Oh, beep... Successfully accomplished a bad deed, add 50 points, current points: 3550. Not enough points for cultivation techniques, cannot redeem."
The system was clearly getting impatient.
"What! What?! Only fifty points! At least give me 500! This is truly a disaster!"
Xie Zhou exclaimed that it wasn't worth it.
"I didn't make the judgment on this. I also need to see what the higher-ups say, right?"
The system sighed, indicating that it was powerless to help.
"Tch, I knew you couldn't be trusted!"
Xie Zhou rolled his eyes. This was the umpteenth time he had rolled his eyes at the system.
"You can only get more points by stealing Luo Fantian's resources or doing bad things to Luo Fantian. Any other bad things will only get you 50 points."
The system reminded Xie Zhou.
"Alright! I'm going to go beat up Luo Fantian right now!"
Xie Zhou rolled up his sleeves.
...
Late at night, Luo Fantian, still half asleep, was dragged out of bed by Xie Zhou.
"Xie Zhou, what exactly do you want to do by dragging me out so late?"
Luo Fantian rubbed his eyes, dozing off, looking listless.
"You sneaked off to sleep at night instead of training properly! Do you still want to become stronger?!"
Xie Zhou immediately launched into a tirade of abuse at Luo Fantian.
"So, do I look like I'm doing something wrong?!"
Xie Zhou stared longingly at the system.
"Ding... Insulting Luo Fantian has damaged his self-confidence. 100 points added. Current points: 3650."
The system notification sound appeared quickly.
"Great! Yes! How many points does the best cultivation technique for mental power cost?!"
Xie Zhou asked.
"Around ten thousand, I guess."
"Okay!"
Xie Zhou looked at Luo Fantian, who was still dozing off, and was overjoyed.
"Senior Brother Luo Fantian, I think we are too weak right now, don't you think?"
Xie Zhou looked at Luo Fantian.
"Yes, in the Sword Sect, our abilities are not outstanding, and our cultivation is average."
"In that case, shouldn't we step up our efforts to hone our skills?"
Xie Zhou asked another question.
Luo Fantian was now somewhat sober.
"what are you up to?"
He suspected something was amiss, but Luo Fantian probably never imagined the torment Xie Zhou was about to inflict upon him.
"If our cultivation level is low, we can only improve by constantly absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. But if our combat strength is low, we can hone our skills by sparring with people who are stronger than us."
"Senior Brother Luo Fantian, please give me your guidance!"
As he spoke, Xie Zhou threw a punch at Xie Zhou's face.
"Show mercy!"
Luo Fantian was still rubbing his sleepy eyes when, as soon as he opened them, a fist appeared in front of him.
"Wow!"
Luo Fantian leaned back, narrowly dodging Xie Zhou's fist.
"Now that we need to train our bodies, how can we do so without getting beaten up!"
As she spoke, Xie Zhou tossed a stick to Luo Fantian from somewhere, and she also took a stick for herself.
"Great! You can even earn points by improving your strength!"
Xie Zhou muttered something to himself.
What are you saying?
Luo Fantian was already bewildered when he was dragged out in the middle of the night, and now he was inexplicably stuffed with a stick and told to spar with Xie Zhou.
"It seems like nobody's even asking Luo Fantian whether he wants it or not!"
The system trembled with fear at the sight of Xie Zhou's ruthless and insane nature.
"I said he misses me, and he misses me! Don't forget! I'm the villain! I'm the villain! Charge!"
Xie Zhou raised his stick and struck Luo Fantian.
"ah?"
Luo Fantian stood there dumbfounded, before he could even raise the stick in his hand, he was struck on the head.
"Ah, this..."
Xie Zhou didn't hold back this time; he attacked with full force.
"Um... are you alright...?"
"I'm fine...I'm okay..."
"Okay, I'll continue..."
Holy crap, you're serious?!
