Fairy, don't be afraid, I, Wang Daqi, am truly an honest man.

"Achoo, achoo achoo!!"

Wang Daqi, who had just returned from Shen Ruyan's cave, sneezed several times in a row.

"Who's talking about me behind my back?"

Wang Daqi scratched his head, puzzled.

"Sigh, Daqi, we can't find Senior Sister for the time being. It seems we're not destined for the Hanyu Palace repair job!!"

On the way back, Xu Yan felt a little disappointed.

Wang Daqi rubbed his nose, gave a simple, honest smile, and comforted her, "Wife, don't think like that. Gold always shines. Let's go to the mission hall and see if we can get a more reliable job than this."

Although Xu Yan still felt regretful, her mood calmed down a lot after hearing what her husband said.

The two linked arms and walked towards the outer gate mission hall.

Before I even reached the door, I heard a cacophony of laughter and curses coming from ahead.

A large crowd had gathered at the entrance of the mission hall, pointing and whispering.

"Please, Senior Brother Zhao, this medicine is life-saving; it cost us all the spirit stones we've painstakingly saved up..."

A voice trembling with sobs came from inside, and Wang Daqi's brows furrowed sharply.

That's Zhang Zhong'an's voice!!!

He and Xu Yan exchanged a glance, then hurriedly pushed through the crowd and squeezed in.

In the open space in front of the mission hall, Zhang Zhong'an and Ma Wenzheng were kneeling on the ground in a sorry state.

In front of them, several white porcelain medicine bottles were smashed to pieces, and pale green liquid was splattered all over the ground, mixed with dirt, and was completely ruined.

A dark-skinned, squinting young man in a gray robe was arrogantly stepping on a piece of ointment and grinding it vigorously.

This person was none other than Zhao Dong.

Behind him stood several outer disciples with fierce faces, all wearing mocking expressions.

"A life-saving medicine? That's the kind of medicine that trash like you should be using?"

Zhao Dong spat and cursed viciously, "I was walking here perfectly fine when you two blind bastards bumped into me and dirtied my new Taoist robe. Can you afford to pay for it?"

"Zhao Dong! You're talking nonsense! You're clearly doing this on purpose..."

Ma Wen was so angry that his face turned red. Just as he was about to argue, Zhao Dong kicked him in the shoulder, causing him to fall to the ground.

"Damn it, you think you can yell at me just because you've latched onto that Xu Yan? Believe me or not, I'll tear your mouth apart!" Zhao Dong pointed at Ma Wen and cursed.

"stop!"

Wang Daqi rushed forward and stood in front of Zhang Zhong'an and Ma Wen.

His face was terribly gloomy, especially when he saw the medicine scattered all over the ground.

These medicines were originally bought for Li Dahu, who was seriously injured.

Li Dahu was beaten so badly by Zhao Dong and his gang that he couldn't get out of bed.

Now their medicine is being wasted by Zhao Dong.

"Oh, isn't this the new disciple?"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Zhao Dong not only did not stop, but instead let out a sarcastic laugh.

"Make up for the medicine and apologize immediately," Xu Yan stepped forward and scolded in a coquettish voice.

Zhao Dong laughed exaggeratedly, as if he had heard the funniest joke ever: "Hahahaha! Did you hear that? An outer disciple wants me to apologize?"

He took a step forward, his eyes filled with venom, and lowered his voice, saying, "Xu Yan, you've been expelled from the inner sect!! Don't think that just because you've hooked up with Senior Sister Shen Ruyan, I'll be afraid of you. In the outer sect of Lingyun Peak, my elder brother Zhao Feng is the rule!! Would Senior Sister Shen offend my elder brother for your sake?"

After he finished speaking, his sly eyes darted around Xu Yan's beautiful face and curvaceous figure.

"Tsk tsk, but speaking of which, you've become more and more beautiful since I last saw you."

Zhao Dong licked his lips, a greedy glint in his eyes.

"I pursued you back then, didn't I? Too bad you were blind. You ignored me, your future inner disciple, and chose this Spirit Farmer who can't do anything but work. Now do you regret it???"

"regret?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yan was not frightened at all; instead, she seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world.

She raised an eyebrow and retorted sharply, "Zhao Dong, take a look at yourself in the mirror! Don't even mention comparing yourself to you, even compared to your older brother Zhao Feng, my Daqi is a hundred times better than you. If it weren't for your inner disciple brother backing you up, you wouldn't even be worth a hair on my man's head on Lingyun Peak! What makes you so arrogant?"

"You!?" Zhao Dong's face turned black with anger, and his hand trembled as he pointed at Xu Yan.

He laughed in fury, his gaze turning sinister as he looked at Wang Daqi: "Fine, fine, not even a hair on his head can compare! Xu Yan, I've heard about him before. This Wang Daqi used to work at Wanhua Peak, dealing with fertilizer and manure all day long!!! He's just an ordinary spirit farmer, a piece of trash who can't be helped. I could crush him with a single finger!"

The surrounding disciples gasped, their gazes toward Wang Daqi now tinged with disdain.

"Hmph, as long as I'm better than you, that's enough. No matter how much you talk, you can't compare to my Daoist partner's abilities," Xu Yan retorted.

"Oh, really?"

Zhao Dong took a step forward, arrogantly raising his chin, and sneered at Wang Daqi, "Kid, I don't know what you're capable of, but for Senior Sister Shen's sake, I'll give you a chance. Now kneel down and say 'Senior Brother, I was wrong,' and this matter will be over. If you want to find work in the outer sect in the future, I might give you a break if I'm in a good mood, how about it?"

Wang Daqi's originally calm gaze gradually turned disdainful. He patted the dust off his clothes and said indifferently, "Fine, you kneel down and kowtow to apologize to my two brothers first, and then compensate me for the medicine you just stepped on at ten times the price. I might consider not holding this against you."

He pointed to Ma Wen and Zhang Zhong'an behind him, who looked as if they had lost their parents.

"You fucking kidded me!"

Zhao Dong was furious, feeling that his self-esteem had been greatly insulted.

He strode forward abruptly, his right hand transforming into an eagle claw, carrying a gust of wind, attempting to shove Wang Daqi's shoulder and embarrass him in public.

Little did he know, just as his hand was about to touch Wang Daqi, Wang Daqi, as if he had anticipated it, flipped his wrist and gripped Zhao Dong's hand tightly like an iron clamp.

"I saw it all! He attacked first!!"

Wang Daqi suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs.

He is indeed honest most of the time, but that's because he doesn't get offended!

But if someone makes the first move, he won't let anyone bully him.

Before Zhao Dong could react, he swayed and, using the momentum of the other's forward movement, suddenly raised his foot and kicked Zhao Dong hard in the abdomen.

A muffled "thump!"

Zhao Dong was like a kite with a broken string, flying four or five meters away and crashing hard into a stone pillar in the mission hall, the pain almost making his eyes pop out.

"You...you're asking for it!"

Zhao Dong clutched his chest as he got up, his face flushed.

He realized he had been careless; he hadn't expected this useless spirit farmer to be so strong.

"Die, you son of a bitch!!"

Zhao Dong roared, his spiritual energy surging wildly, and a faint gray light flickered in his palm.

This was clearly the use of some kind of external martial arts technique, rushing towards Wang Daqi without regard for anything else.

Wang Daqi stood motionless, a faint blue light flickering deep within his eyes!

Azure waters and golden eyes!

In his eyes, Zhao Dong's seemingly swift movements were perfectly clear.

Every node and every flaw in the flow of spiritual energy within the body was clearly visible.

He didn't even bother to use his spiritual power; just as Zhao Dong rushed in front of him, he slightly shifted his body and delivered another precise kick!

This kick landed squarely on Zhao Dong's ribs, where his spiritual energy was most vulnerable.

"Aww!!!"

Zhao Dong screamed again and flew out, this time falling even harder, knocking out one of his front teeth.

Everyone around was stunned.

A low-level outer sect spiritual farmer.

He actually kicked Zhao Dong, a fourth-level Qi Refining cultivator, flying twice, just like kicking a soccer ball?!

Is this still considered trash?

"Useless trash! What are you all standing there for? Get him together and cripple him! My big brother will take responsibility if anything happens!!"

Zhao Dong lay on the ground, frantically directing his henchmen behind him.

The burly disciples exchanged glances and were about to surround them.

"Stop! Who gave you the audacity to start a brawl in front of the Mission Hall?"

A clear and authoritative female voice boomed like thunder, followed by a graceful purple figure rushing from afar—it was Shen Ruyan!
