Flea hurriedly chimed in, "Leader Yang is awesome!"
"It wasn’t easy..."
Yang Ge sighed deeply, his eyes smiling softly as he spoke, "That guy, for the sake of the Ming Sect, ran all over the place, went through life and death, and finally got his wish!"
Understanding the situation, Flea responded, "Indeed, it wasn’t easy. Back when the three sects were in chaos, Leader Yang was always at the forefront for Ming Sect. If it weren’t for him blocking the Five Poisons Cult’s assault, they might have already advanced into Jiangzhe..."
Yang Ge nodded in agreement... Others might think that Yang Tiansheng’s position as the Sect Hierarch of the Ming Sect was due to his close friendship with Yang Erlang and the connections of the Yang Family and the Xiang Family.
However, Yang Tiansheng’s martial skills were undeniably genuine. If not for his extensive real combat training, how could he have transformed from an ordinary Qi Sea expert to a top-level expert close to the Grandmaster realm in just five or six years?
"By the way, Second Master, there’s another matter..."
Flea took out a scroll from his bosom, respectfully handed it over to Yang Ge with a bow, "This is this year’s ranking of the heroes of Jianghu. Please have a look."
"Oh?
Yang Ge, surprised, took the scroll, "Three years already? Has it been that quick?"

Flea: "Yes, Second Master, it’s been three years since you first entered the rankings!"
"Time really flies..."
Yang Ge remembered the past when he defeated ’Sword Expert’ Duan Yu in Hangzhou and made it onto the list of great heroes. It felt as if it happened just yesterday... Ah, it seemed like Wei was the first to congratulate him on becoming the new Sword Expert.
He shook his head a bit sentimentally, slowly unrolled the scroll, and the first name he saw was "Divine Monarch" Yang Erlang.
"I should step aside."
Yang Ge said with lack of interest, "Later, scratch my name off to make room for the younger generation."
Flea glanced at his youthful and handsome face, thinking ’You aren’t old at all,’ but obediently responded, "Yes, Second Master, I’ll send a message about it immediately."
Yang Ge continued reading: "Eastern Sword" Li Qing, "Southern Saint" Peacock, "Western Path" Fei Yun, "Northern Monk" Walker.
"Eh?"
He curiously asked, "Why is only Li Qing on the list? What about Yan Shijun from the Five Poisons Cult?"
Flea succinctly replied, "Everyone agreed at the tower that Sect Hierarch Yan, at best, has the strength of the first among the lesser heroes, not enough to be listed alongside you top-level experts."
Yang Ge laughed, "Your Jiulong Tower is still so petty..."
Flea chuckled nervously, not daring to respond.
Yang Ge continued to read, "Qin Hero" Yan Shijun, "Chu Hero" Yang Tiansheng, "Zhao Hero" Cheng Dingjiang, "Qi Hero" Xiang Wudi..."
"Huh? Xiang has not fought anyone for a long time, right?"
Flea: "The year before last, Young Master Xiang once teamed up with Leader Yang in Jinling to besiege a high-ranking expert from the Five Poisons Cult. At that time, Young Master Xiang’s martial arts were already at the threshold of the lesser heroes."
Yang Ge: "I see..."
He skipped the remaining three lesser-known heroes, jumping directly to the list of the twelve great heroes, indeed seeing Li Jincheng replacing Xiang Wudi as the "Spear Expert."
Compared to the major changes among the seven heroes, the changes among the twelve great heroes were minimal. The people who were there before were still there; those who filled the vacancies were mostly from the previous Yi-Long list... It could be said there were no surprises, no excitement.
Instead, the Yi-Long list had completely changed, with many names Yang Ge found particularly familiar: Shi Ping, Xiang Qinhu, Ma Sandao, Xia Yiwei...
He furrowed his brows and pointed at these names, "These people... aren’t they all those who went overseas with us back then?"
Flea was stunned for a few seconds before suddenly reacting, hastily waving his hands, "Don’t worry, Second Master, they all genuinely fought their way onto the list during the chaos in the southern martial arts world. If you hadn’t asked, I wouldn’t have even thought of the fact they had all accompanied you on your journey to combat the evil forces..."
Yang Ge looked at him skeptically, "Really?"
Flea protested, "Even if you don’t trust me, you have to trust the three-hundred-year reputation of our Louwailou!"
Yang Ge thought for a moment, slowly relaxing his brows, and scanned down casually, only to see on the Divine Weapon list, the Cold Moon Blade ranked third; on the Hundred Flowers list, a bunch of highly similar ethereal names were dizzying, completely indistinguishable...
His eyes swirling, he rolled up the scroll and stuffed it back into Flea’s arms, "I have no other objections, just remove my name and the Cold Moon Blade from this thing."
Flea, caught between laughter and tears, received the scroll, hesitated for a long while, and then whispered, "Second Master, who in Jianghu doesn’t know, who isn’t aware of your name? Even if we remove your name from the list of great heroes, it wouldn’t help much?"
"I don’t care, just remove it!"
Yang Ge grumbled, closing his eyes, "I’ve barely had a few peaceful days; don’t start causing trouble again..."
Flea:...
