Immortality begins in the Great Wilderness Grotto Heaven

He hit Feng Ping just yesterday.

Today, this fellow brought Fang Xu to block the door; he clearly has ill intentions.

Who is Fang Xu?

He is now widely recognized as a cultivation genius by both the outer and inner disciples of Zhengyang Martial Arts School.

He entered the Blood Refining Realm in less than two months of martial arts training, and in just half a year, he completed a transformation of his Qi and Blood and began to temper his skin membrane.

Even though Zhou An had not had much interaction with him before, he had heard many disciples say that this person was the future of Zhengyang Martial Arts School.

In the future, the banner of Zhengyang Martial Arts School will surely fall on this person's head.

"Of course, we've come to offer our congratulations."

Seeing the wariness in Zhou An's eyes, Fang Xu smiled slightly, showing no intention of intimidating him, and instead spoke loudly.

"As the fifteenth formal disciple to enter the Blood Refining Realm this year, Junior Brother Zhou has greatly boosted the morale of our Zhengyang Martial Arts School."

"Those who offer unsolicited favors are either treacherous or thieves."

Hearing Fang Xu's flattery, Zhou An sneered inwardly, but his gaze then turned to Feng Ping.

really.

This person still had that arrogant demeanor, like a dog that had found its master to vent its anger on, about to bark.

Besides this person, the others following behind Fang Xu also looked at him with great interest.

"I heard from Junior Brother Feng yesterday that you two had some disagreements during your sparring session."

As the saying goes, it is better to resolve enmity than to create it. Since we are both inner disciples of Zhengyang Martial Arts School, how can we fight privately within the school?

Moreover, today is also the day for those holding official positions within the sect, and countless wealthy and powerful families will be coming.

Rather than become a laughingstock in front of outsiders, my two junior brothers would be kind enough to give me face and let's shake hands and make peace.

As they were talking, Fang Xu noticed that Zhou An didn't make a move, so he immediately waved to Feng Ping behind him.

"Junior Brother Feng, as a senior brother who joined the sect earlier, you should set an example and demonstrate the demeanor of a senior brother."

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Ping's expression changed.

"Senior Brother Fang, I..."

"What, you don't want to give me this face?"

Seeing Feng Ping's unwilling expression, Fang Xu's voice immediately turned cold.

"Junior Brother Zhou finally entered the inner sect, and instead of congratulating him properly, you created a rift because of a moment of loyalty."

"Now you won't even shake hands and make peace, it seems you harbor a lot of resentment towards me."

"Junior brother... I wouldn't dare."

Seeing Fang Xu's cold gaze, Feng Ping's expression darkened, and he quickly lowered his head to submit, but his back teeth were clenched so tightly they made a grinding sound.

He originally thought that Fang Xu had brought so many people to help him get revenge.

But to his utter surprise, the other party actually asked him to bow his head first.

However, despite Fang Xu's unusual assertiveness, Feng Ping did not have the courage to defy him in front of everyone.

"Junior Brother Zhou, I was too rash yesterday. Please don't take it too seriously."

Faced with Zhou An's bewildered yet slightly surprised gaze, Feng Ping cupped his hands in a fist salute.

"Senior Brother Feng, there's no need for that. Our relationship is just a friendly exchange; there's no reason for any animosity between us."

Zhou An raised his hand.

To be honest, this situation was quite unexpected for him.

Judging from Feng Ping's behavior, he is most likely here to cause trouble.

How did things suddenly turn into an apology?

Inviting someone to drinks and then accepting their help as a dog?

In an instant, a variety of thoughts flashed through Zhou An's mind.

He tried to read Fang Xu's thoughts from his face, but the latter really seemed like a senior brother who was upholding justice. His smile remained unchanged, and his attitude became even more friendly.

"It would be best if there were no grudges. In another half hour, the official start of the appointment ceremony will begin."

Although my junior brother only became a formal disciple yesterday, he is already on par with Junior Brother Feng.

Perfect timing, my senior brother is coming back this time too.

Let the junior brother be the first to appear.

Firstly, it will put my senior brother's mind at ease, and secondly, it will let the merchants who come to observe the ceremony know the unity of my Zhengyang Martial Arts School.

"Senior Brother Fang, isn't this against the rules?"

Before Zhou An could react, one of the men following Fang Xu frowned and spoke.

"In the past, when displaying products to merchants, we would start from a high position, but now it's the opposite?"

This not only goes against the traditions of my Zhengyang Martial Arts School, but also risks being looked down upon by outsiders, which would be counterproductive.

"That's right, Senior Sister Xu reminded me of that before."

The merchants who came this time were no ordinary people; the Chen family business, which had connections with the inner city, would send people to attend the ceremony.

Now is the time for us to show our skills. Junior Brother Zhou may be quite strong, but he has only just begun his Blood Refinement stage.

While they were happy to see Feng Ping suffer a setback, they didn't mind Fang Xu showing goodwill to this newly initiated disciple.

But since it concerns my own interests, I can't just let it go like this.

As for the eldest brother...

The eldest disciple graduated a long time ago.

They might show great respect on ordinary days, but this temporary assignment concerns their future, and it can be decided in just a few words.

After all, the Chen family business has resources in the inner city. If they can establish good relations with them in advance, it will definitely be of great help to their future martial arts.

Ordinary blood-training martial artists are one thing.

But Zhou An is not only good-looking, but he can also make Feng Ping suffer. If he makes his appearance first, they might not get a chance.

After all, the number of people each merchant can appoint is limited.

"This is just my suggestion. Since my fellow disciples have objections, let Master make the final decision."

Seeing that everyone present objected, Fang Xu was not annoyed, but simply said calmly.

"Furthermore, have you fellow disciples considered this?"

If Junior Brother Zhou gets a standing ovation first, we senior brothers who go on stage later might get a better price.

As he spoke, Fang Xu's gaze immediately fell on Zhou An.

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Brother Fang. Regardless of the outcome, I will respect Master's arrangements."

Despite the hostile gazes directed at Fang Xu, Zhou An remained fearless and spoke with neither arrogance nor servility.

Whether this senior brother Fang Xu genuinely meant well for him or wanted to use this opportunity to put him in a difficult position, it didn't matter.

Ultimately, what truly matters is the martial artist's own strength.

For example, the arrogant Feng Ping couldn't even utter a word of resistance in front of Fang Xu, whose strength far surpassed his own, and was completely silenced.

"As long as I am strong enough, I can kill any conspiracy or trickery with a single punch."

After saying goodbye, Zhou An headed straight for the pharmacy.

Seeing this, Fang Xu did not stop or pester him, but watched him leave with a smile.

"Senior Brother Fang, are you really planning to give him the first chance to showcase his skills?"

After Zhou An's figure disappeared from everyone's sight, Feng Ping took a deep breath and questioned him in a deep voice.

"It seems Junior Brother Feng is angry with me."

Seeing Feng Ping's clenched fists, Fang Xu smiled wryly.

"But it's alright, Senior Brother is coming back."

What does our senior brother's return have to do with us? We have no hope of taking over the martial arts school in the future.

Everyone looked puzzled.

"Our eldest brother is on duty at the city defense bureau most of the year. He doesn't come back so easily unless it's a holiday... He rarely comes back, so how can we let him down?"

Taking in everyone's gazes, Fang Xu shook his head, left a comment, and turned to walk into the martial arts hall.

"Um?"

"City Defense Command!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Ping seemed to realize something and suddenly looked up at Fang Xu's departing figure.
