Heaven rewards diligence, but there are always fairies plotting against me.

As night falls, the moon rises above the willow branches.

Chu Changfeng swept up all the food that Gu Ling Shuang had brought, like a whirlwind.

After eating and drinking his fill, he wiped his mouth, looked at Gu Ling Shuang sitting to the side with slightly flushed cheeks, and suddenly grabbed her soft hand.

This time, it wasn't Gu Ling Shuang who brought it up, but Chu Chang who, for the first time ever, took the initiative to pull people into the house.

There was no way around it; the newly mastered "Invincible Vajra Skill," enhanced by his extremely Yang physique, had an incredibly strong aftereffect.

Chu Chang felt his whole body burning hot, his blood rushing through his meridians like boiling magma, and his anger was so intense that he could melt a piece of black iron with his bare hands.

Before Gu Ling Shuang could react, Chu Changshun led her into the house, and the door slammed shut with a creak.

An hour later.

"Ah Chang... I... I can't hold on any longer..."

The usually aloof and proud Miss Gu, who always wanted to take the lead in cultivation, was now pleading for mercy with a hoarse voice and tears welling up in her eyes.

She really couldn't hold on any longer.

In the past, when the two were together, she was usually the one to take the initiative, but tonight Chu Chang was like a tireless golden war god.

The terrifying defensive power brought by the "Invincible Vajra Skill" and the domineering heat of the Extreme Yang Physique combined perfectly, making Chu Chang not only as hard as iron, but also with inexhaustible energy, and his combat power soared exponentially.

Outside the small courtyard, unnoticed by them, Lin Ruoxue stood quietly beneath the dappled moonlight on the treetops.

Hearing the commotion coming from inside, the usually outspoken senior sister had a strange expression, and the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily.

"This Gu Ling Shuang... is she really that incompetent?" Lin Ruoxue shook her head helplessly and muttered a curse inwardly.

Seeing the commotion inside, which seemed poised for another three rounds, Lin Ruoxue had no choice but to cough lightly and channel her inner energy into the room, calling out, "Junior Brother Chu, are you busy?"

The sound penetrated the wooden door and reached the ears of the two people inside.

Hearing Lin Ruoxue's voice at this moment was like grasping at a lifeline for Gu Ling Shuang.

With her last ounce of strength, she hurriedly nudged Chu Chang and whispered urgently, "Junior Brother Chu... quick, Senior Sister Lin is looking for you! You... you should go out and see her first!"

Chu Chang was almost done by then.

Hearing his senior sister outside, he got up, still feeling a bit unsatisfied.

He nimbly got out of bed, put on his clothes, tidied himself up, and then pushed open the door and went out.

Under the moonlight, Lin Ruoxue crossed her arms and looked at Chu Chang, who was radiant and in high spirits, with a half-smile.

Especially when she saw Chu Chang's shoulders, which seemed even broader and stronger than during the day, and the faint scorching yang energy emanating from his body, Lin Ruoxue's beautiful eyes flickered slightly. She rolled her eyes at him, annoyed, and teased, "You little rascal, you really don't know how to cherish a lady. You don't even know how to be gentle with your senior sister. You've caused such a commotion. I was sweating bullets for her outside the courtyard."

"Uh... I'm sorry, senior sister..." Chu Chang said awkwardly.

"Okay, walk with me for a bit, I need to tell you something."

Lin Ruoxue stopped her earlier teasing, turned her head, and took small, graceful steps to walk ahead.

Chu Chang wiped his nose and obediently followed.

The night breeze carried away much of his heat, but as Lin Ruoxue walked ahead, she could still vaguely feel the intense yang energy emanating from the young man behind her. This made her heart skip a beat, and she subconsciously quickened her pace.

She was filled with emotion, realizing that being with Chu Chang had given her a strong urge to improve herself.

This is truly unbelievable.

"Ah Chang, I really didn't expect that you could get first place in this assessment." Lin Ruoxue turned her head slightly, the moonlight shining on her complex face.

She was genuinely shocked.

Originally, she estimated that Chu Chang's aptitude was average, and at most he would barely pass and get a mediocre ranking to get into the Enforcement Hall.

But who would have thought that this kid not only passed, but also pulled off a series of upsets, defeating all those arrogant geniuses and taking the top spot.

Chu Chang scratched his head. "Senior sister, I was just lucky to run into everyone being so accommodating. By the way, what brings you to me in the middle of the night?"

Lin Ruoxue stopped and turned around, looking at him seriously: "You are already a trainee disciple of the Enforcement Hall, but according to the rules of the hall, new disciples must choose a formal Enforcement Hall disciple as their captain, and all future tasks and training must be carried out under the guidance of this captain."

Chu Chang, quick-witted, immediately understood and tentatively asked, "Captain? Is he someone like Song Qing?"

"That's good." Lin Ruoxue nodded, her brows furrowing slightly. "I know you and Song Qing had some friction before the assessment. I didn't expect that guy to be so narrow-minded. Even though I warned him, he still targeted you. So this time, I plan to have you find someone else to avoid his protection."

"The others? Who are they?" Chu Chang blinked his big eyes, looking innocent and harmless.

"One of my good sisters, Xu Shuang," Lin Ruoxue said, a slight smile playing on her lips. "She and Song Qing are both captains in the Enforcement Hall. And in terms of actual cultivation and combat power, she's even three points stronger than Song Qing. Most importantly, she's fiercely independent and extremely protective of her own."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chang outwardly maintained a humble and flattered demeanor, but inwardly he was overjoyed.

This is like a pillow delivered just when you're about to fall asleep!

Not only can they perfectly avoid that treacherous Song Qing, but they can also directly latch onto Xu Shuang, who is an even stronger and more desirable partner.

With Lin Ruoxue as my best friend, wouldn't I be able to legitimately "take shelter under a big tree" in the Enforcement Hall?

Chu Chang was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Thank you so much, Senior Sister! That's wonderful!"

"Don't get too excited yet!"

Seeing Chu Chang's grinning face, Lin Ruoxue poked his forehead with her delicate finger, pouring cold water on his enthusiasm, "My senior sister isn't someone to be trifled with. She's known in the Enforcement Hall for her iron-fisted impartiality and strict enforcement of the law. Even if I introduced you, if you make a mistake, she'll still punish you severely without any leniency!!"

Chu Chang rubbed his forehead, revealing an honest and simple smile: "Don't worry, Senior Sister, I understand. I, Chu Chang, am a very law-abiding citizen and will never let you down."

"I don't believe you." Lin Ruoxue rolled her eyes at him, then carefully explained a few more rules of the Enforcement Hall. Afterwards, she took out a letter of introduction sealed with sealing wax from her bosom and handed it to him. "Here, take this. Report to Courtyard No. 3 of the Enforcement Hall first thing tomorrow morning! Don't be late."

"Alright!" Chu Chang carefully put the letter away.

…………

…………

The next morning, as the sun rose.

Chu Chang yawned, feeling refreshed. The heat from yesterday's "Invincible Vajra Skill" had completely subsided, transforming into a surging power that filled his limbs and bones.

This puzzled him; he hadn't expected that practicing this technique would cause him such intense heat every time.

In other words, you have a really bad temper!

Fortunately, Gu Ling Shuang was there, so the two of them could benefit from each other's company.

Otherwise, I really couldn't handle it.

At this moment, he strolled over to the Hall of Law Enforcement.

This Enforcement Hall occupies a vast area within the sect, divided into twenty courtyards.

There's an unwritten rule in the Enforcement Hall: the earlier a courtyard's number comes up, the stronger it is, and the more resources it receives.

This No. 3 courtyard is clearly a place where only the elite of the elite can stay.

As soon as Chu Chang stepped into the gate of Courtyard No. 3, he felt a chilling aura.

There were already about thirty people standing in the spacious training ground.

These disciples were all tall and straight, with deep auras. At a glance, their cultivation levels were generally around the eighth or ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm.

Among them, at the very front, there were several people whose cultivation level was at the Qi Refining Realm!

In the Hall of Law Enforcement, disciples at the Body Tempering Realm are still only apprentices.

Once you break through to the Qi Refining Realm, you can be promoted to a formal law enforcement disciple, and you can truly ride your sword down the mountain to subdue demons and monsters, and stand on your own.

Chu Chang's arrival instantly attracted the attention of many people.

Most people looked at this unfamiliar young man with scrutinizing and inquisitive eyes.

At the very front of the crowd stood a woman with delicate features but hard, cold lines, her hands behind her back.

Her posture was as straight as a pine tree, and she exuded a powerful and imposing aura that drew attention.

Without even looking, just by the powerful aura that made her stand out even among those in the Qi Refining Realm, Chu Chang knew that this woman must be Xu Shuang, the good friend Lin Ruoxue had mentioned.

Chu Chang immediately stepped forward and respectfully handed over the letter of introduction that Lin Ruoxue had given him the night before: "Chu Chang, a trainee disciple, greets Senior Sister Xu. This is my first time reporting for duty."

As soon as he spoke, the previously noisy training ground fell silent.

Brush brush!

Pairs of eyes, filled with strangeness, inquiry, and even suppressed laughter, all fixed on Chu Chang.

This is not because he got first place in the assessment.

Rather, it's because Chu Chang has recently become very famous within the sect.

He knocked Wang Jianren flying into the latrine!

Not only did the person go in, but it is said that the strange artifact in Wang Jianren's hand also fell into the cesspool.

This truly smells absolutely terrible in the literal sense.

According to sources, Wang Jianren spent the entire night soaking in the river yesterday, and his skin was almost rubbed off.

But today, when someone passed by him, they could still smell a faint, suffocating sour smell.

The culprit behind all of this is none other than Chu Chang, who appears harmless and has a simple, honest smile.

Xu Shuang did not immediately accept the letter of introduction, but instead narrowed her eyes slightly and coldly scrutinized Chu Chang.

"You are Chu Chang."

Xu Shuang's voice, cold as a knife, echoed in the marble-paved courtyard: "Do you know you're late?"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding temperature seemed to drop several degrees.

To everyone's surprise, Xu Shuang didn't even open Lin Ruoxue's letter of introduction before turning cold, showing no intention of giving this person with connections any face at all.
