Chapter 116 -116 Warning
“Senior Brother Liu, there is something I must report to you.”
Atop the Martial Courtyard’s summit within the White Cloud Sect, a man sat cross-legged on a large rock, facing the rising sun, casting a long, straight silhouette, while another man stood behind him, speaking respectfully.
The seated man was none other than Liu Shixuan, the unsurpassed prodigy of the White Cloud Sect, a direct disciple of Bao Dongsheng.
He stepped into the Soul Nurturing stage at twenty, reached the second stage at twenty-two, the third at twenty-four, and now at twenty-seven, he was already at the fourth.
Each breakthrough he made set a record in the White Cloud Sect, unparalleled by his predecessors.
...
The sect’s disciples were saying that if Bao Dongsheng could live another thirty years, then it was very likely that Liu Shixuan would inherit the position of Sect Master.
—Even without that, the position of the third generation Sect Master would definitely belong to him.
He was that much of a freak of nature.
Thus, even though Lu Zhihang was also at the Soul Nurturing stage, standing in front of Liu Shixuan, he still felt oppressed and couldn’t help but feel a strong sense of awe.
“Speak.” Liu Shixuan said indifferently.
“Yes.” Lu Zhihang nodded, “Recently, the Little Princess has been getting very close to someone named Shi Hao.”
Of course, he knew that Liu Shixuan was quite fond of Bao Ya’er, treating her as a forbidden treasure, strictly forbidding any man from approaching her, or else they would certainly face Liu Shixuan’s wrath.
“Oh, what is the background of this Shi Hao?” Liu Shixuan asked.
“He is a senior apprentice from the Pill Yard.” Lu Zhihang hastily replied, “These past days, the Little Princess has been using the excuse of being interested in the Alchemy Dao to go to the Pill Yard daily, to see that Shi Hao.”
Liu Shixuan’s body trembled slightly, and upon opening his mouth, he actually exhaled a strand of purple qi.
Lu Zhihang watched, his heart trembling as he said, “Congratulations, Senior Brother Liu, on mastering the Purple Mist Divine Skill!”
The Purple Mist Divine Skill was an extremely profound technique within the White Cloud Sect with formidable power, but since the predecessor who practised it two hundred years ago passed away, no one else had been able to master this technique.
This exhalation of purple qi against the sun was the sign of mastering the Purple Mist Divine Skill.
It could be said that, with this Purple Mist Divine Skill alone, Liu Shixuan could completely dominate his peers.
“Send someone to warn him off.” Liu Shixuan said indifferently.
Actually, he hadn’t fully mastered the Purple Mist Divine Skill yet, which was why he couldn’t leave this place and needed to continue absorbing the strand of purple qi from the rising sun.
“Yes,” Lu Zhihang quickly nodded, “I will arrange it.”
A mere Pill Yard apprentice, did he really require the intervention of a Soul Nurturing direct disciple like himself?
…
Shi Hao returned to the White Cloud Sect, business as usual, still spending his days at the Pill Yard, and he finally discovered that since Bao Ya’er had started visiting him frequently, the other girls had stopped providing for him.
Strange, why was this happening?
He didn’t understand, but didn’t care either, because Bao Ya’er had taken over the task of feeding him, “casually” bringing him food every day, which was even more exquisite and delicious, so he stopped worrying about other matters.
Of course, Shi Hao was not someone who only knew how to take advantage of others; he would also give Bao Ya’er things like bone-setting cream or Hemostatic Powder in return, never owing favors.
This was what Shi Tianyang had taught him.
Apart from your parents, there is no one in the world who is kind to you for no reason, so such a contribution must demand a return.
Shi Hao never owed favors, always repaying with something he considered equivalent.
Rustle rustle rustle, someone walked in.
At first, Shi Hao thought it was Bao Ya’er, but he immediately realized something was wrong—the footsteps were too heavy, completely different from Bao Ya’er’s light steps.
He turned his head to look, and saw a young man, probably not more than twenty years old, with a proud look on his face.
“Shi Hao!” the young man called out, “You don’t need to know who I am, and you’re not worthy to know! I’m here today just to convey a command from Senior Brother Lu, and that is, stay far away from the Little Princess!”
“Who?” Shi Hao asked, his face full of confusion.
The young man was momentarily stunned. You don’t know who the Little Princess is?
What a joke, you have been rubbing shoulders with the Little Princess for so many days and yet you don’t know who the Little Princess is?
Keep acting, just keep acting!
“The message has been sent, take it as you will.” He couldn’t be bothered to speak further and turned to leave.
“Wait a minute.” Shi Hao spoke up.
Hmph, scared now, are you?
The young man turned around, looking at Shi Hao: “What, begging for mercy now?”
Shi Hao walked towards him: “You come to my turf, threaten me, and think you can just walk away?”
Huh?
The young man was taken aback, what’s going on?
You’re not begging for mercy?
But where did you get the courage from?
“So what do you want to do?” the young man said coldly.
Shi Hao smiled: “I don’t like to make threats with words because I always use my fists to solve problems.”
“Haha, hahahahaha!” The young man was taken aback but then burst into loud laughter, finding it hilarious. A mere disciple of the Pill Yard thinking he could threaten a Martial Courtyard disciple with force.
The Pill Yard, the Martial Courtyard, just from these two names, is there any suspense?
“What, you want to beat me up?” the young man said coldly.
Bang!
Shi Hao’s fist had already swung out; he had already said, he liked to solve problems with his fists.
The young man was a Primary Level Martial Sect, already quite formidable in his own right, but compared to Shi Hao, how big of a gap could there be? How could he possibly withstand it?
He was promptly pressed to the ground and pummeled, screaming miserably.
How could this be?
He was shocked and furious. Was this really a Pill Yard apprentice?
Clearly younger than him, why was his Combat Power higher than his?
At the same age, a Pill Yard disciple stronger than a Martial Courtyard disciple, wasn’t that a joke? And now, he was even much older.
“Get lost!” Shi Hao threw him out of his house and then thought for a moment before saying, “Call that Senior Brother Lu over to apologize. Otherwise, I’ll go find him myself.”
Hiss, aren’t you being a bit too arrogant!
The young man didn’t say anything, lacking the strength to back up tough words was just asking for humiliation.
He left in a rage, evidently to tattle.
“What?” Lu Zhihang listened to his story and couldn’t help but chuckle, “Is there really such an amusing thing?”
Daring Senior Brother Lu to apologize?
Where does he get the courage?
“Senior Brother Lu, shall we go over and finish him off now?” the young man suggested, filled with resentment after being beaten by Shi Hao.
Lu Zhihang thought for a moment and then smiled, “No, since he made that boastful claim, let’s see if he dares to come to our Martial Courtyard!”
A Pill Yard apprentice, daring to come to the Martial Courtyard to issue a challenge?
Courting death!
“Spread the word of Shi Hao’s challenge, make sure he can’t escape the embarrassment.” Lu Zhihang gave another order.

“Yes.” The young man also revealed a malicious smile, this was like putting Shi Hao on a hot seat. If you come, you’ll surely be beaten back. If you don’t, you’ll be the joke of the entire White Cloud Sect.
One thing Lu Zhihang didn’t mention was that he knew Shi Hao was highly favored by Sun Yiming. Therefore, if the battle took place in the Pill Yard, it would be troublesome if Sun Yiming intervened.
Even though Sun Yiming wasn’t particularly strong, he was still the dean of the Pill Yard, a position that demanded respect, a title Lu Zhihang himself would have to respectfully address as the Dean.
