"I'll fucking call you a servant!" Ah Can suddenly sprang up and punched Liu Jiang in the face, causing him to bleed profusely from his nose.
Liu Jiang's Golden Core Realm protective spiritual power had no effect on A-Can. Bai Ke raised an eyebrow. As a body cultivator, he really did have some tricks up his sleeve.
No wonder his adoptive parents felt so at ease having Ah Chan by their side; besides his unwavering loyalty, Ah Chan's strength seemed to be a major reason as well.
"Stop! Stop it, Brother Can, I was wrong, please stop... I'm a Golden Core cultivator, I'm of great use to Senior Brother Bai, Senior Brother Bai, please make this bastard stop!"
Liu Jiang cried out for A-Can to stop, saying that being approached by a body cultivator was a nightmare and he couldn't break free from the other's control.
Seeing that Liu Jiang still couldn't see the situation clearly at this point, Bai Ke couldn't help but shake his head and shout in a low voice, "Ah Can!"
Liu Jiang looked at Bai Ke with hope, waiting for the other to utter the word "stop," but to his surprise, the damned man said, "Haven't you eaten? How can this kid still talk?"
He looked at Bai Ke, who was smiling at him, with a look of horror. "You...you don't want to compete for the position of Holy Son?"
"Of course I want it! But not to fight for it, I want to take it! Do you understand? Anyone who dares to lay a finger on that position, except for me, I'll kill them!"
Bai Ke crossed his arms in front of his lower abdomen and replied slowly and deliberately. Although his voice was calm, it contained an air of domineering power that held the power of life and death.
"You...you madman!" Liu Jiang stared blankly at Bai Ke. "Even if your cultivation surpasses all others of this era, even if you become a holy son, do you still intend to be a tyrant?"
Bai Ke laughed heartily upon hearing this, stood up, pointed to the door, and said, "Haha, if anyone disagrees, so what if I become a tyrant?"
He sneered at Liu Jiang, who was lying on the ground, and said, "Since ancient times, the victor is king and the loser is a bandit. If I am invincible in the world, who would dare to question me under the throne?"
"You...you're a madman!" Liu Jiang seemed to be in utter despair, lying motionless on the ground, just staring blankly at the sky and muttering to himself.
"Haha, what's wrong, Junior Brother Liu? Are you still planning to take advantage of my influence?" Bai Ke said with a sinister smile.
Liu Jiang's body trembled violently, and then he lowered his head and remained silent. So, so he knew everything, Liu Jiang thought to himself with a self-deprecating smile.
"Too clever by half, you've lost your life. Junior Brother Liu, I don't know what you've been through to develop your current personality."
Bai Ke looked at the dejected Liu Jiang, shook his head slightly, and then said, "I'll give you one last piece of advice: in the path of cultivation, if you don't advance, you regress; it's better to take the direct path than to seek it through crooked means."
After saying that, he took Ah Can and left. Liu Jiang lay on the ground, muttering, "I'd rather be straightforward, straightforward... straightforward! I was wrong, I was wrong..."
He lay on the ground, pounded the earth with his fists, and burst into tears, crying, "I was wrong, I was wrong..." Then he rushed out of the room and kowtowed several times in the direction Bai Ke had left.
The other disciples who were watching the commotion were confused and thought that Liu Jiang had offended Bai Ke and was being punished by him. They all left him as if he were a plague god, pointing and whispering about him.
Seeing this scene, and recalling how they used to surround him and fawn over him, responding to his every command, Liu Jiang felt a sense of desolation.
"Is it true that only one's own strength matters most, rather than taking the straight path? So this is what you wanted to teach me, Senior Brother Bai. Liu Jiang has learned a lot!"
"Young master, why bother to enlighten that kid? In my opinion, he's a two-faced scoundrel. Let's just ignore him."
Ah-Can followed Bai-Ke and said indignantly, clearly extremely dissatisfied with Liu-Jiang's previous behavior of trying to please both sides and waiting for a better price.
"It's alright! After all, we are all disciples of my Tian Ce Palace. As the chief disciple, I should at least fulfill my duties as a senior brother!"
Bai Ke waved his hand and chuckled. A-Can, completely convinced, followed Bai Ke closely and praised, "Young Master is indeed kind-hearted. That kid should set up a longevity tablet for you!"
"Haha, Ah Can, has your mouth been coated with honey today?" Bai Ke pointed at Ah Can and laughed heartily.
"Hehe... Young Master, what are you saying?" Ah Can scratched his head and smiled rather憨厚ly.
"Alright, enough of this small talk. Where's Xin'er? Have you heard anything from her while I was in seclusion?"
Bai Ke and A Can stood outside Baihua Valley, gazing at Tianxiu Peak, which stood gracefully in the mountain mist, as if they could see that charming and lovely girl.
Ah Can curled his lips, knowing that his young master was going to ask about Miss Xin'er, but he still quickly replied, "Miss Xin'er broke through to the Golden Core stage a few days ago and is currently in seclusion to consolidate her realm."
"What? Xin'er has reached the Core Formation stage?" Bai Ke exclaimed in surprise, "Ah Can, you're not lying to me?"
"Young Master... Miss Xin'er isn't some dull-witted idiot. It's perfectly normal for her to break through to the Golden Core stage after so long of training, okay?"
Ah Can explained somewhat helplessly, "Don't assume that Miss Xin'er's cultivation level is the same as that boy's just because she has a relationship with Ling Feng from the outer sect."
Miss Xin'er is far superior to him. It was Miss Xin'er who first joined my Tian Ce Palace before recommending this kid to the sect.
Otherwise, why would their small place deserve the attention of the sect, which would specifically reserve a disciple spot for them?
After thinking for a moment, Ah Can said to Bai Ke, "By the way, young master, there's something rather strange about Ling Feng."
"Hmm? What is it? Tell me slowly." Bai Ke's spirits lifted. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. Even if he is the protagonist destined to win, he will beat him until he doubts his existence if he tries to steal his woman.
"Ahem, it's nothing major. When I was investigating Ling Feng, I heard that he wasn't always as talented as he is now."
However, after Miss Xin'er was taken away by Elder Tian who happened to be passing by, she disappeared for a while. When she reappeared, it was as if she had suddenly gained enlightenment and became a renowned genius.
"You mean, Ling Feng suddenly became incredibly talented?" Bai Ke tapped his fingers lightly in the air, making a "tap-tap" sound, as if he were tapping on something solid.
Ah Can looked at the void where Bai Ke had struck with awe, and then said, "I don't know either, but there's no smoke without fire. This kid probably has some secrets."
"Hmm, well done. Regarding Ling Feng, you need to continue to send more people to investigate. I need to know all of this kid's movements."
Ah Can bowed in agreement. Then Bai Ke stretched and turned to Ah Can with a smile, saying, "Never mind, we won't disturb Xin'er's seclusion. Let's find a place to settle down first."
