"Zhou Shucai. It's not your first time committing a crime, but this old man knows that you are still young and needs to be changed. This is not the first time for you. But this is the first and last time for this old man. "If you do it again, the next time I see you, I won't forgive you!"

Zhou Shucai never thought that this benevolent looking old man in front of him would actually have such strength.

Even if he could not see through's true strength, Zhou Shucai could still clearly feel the strength of Qiu Fuzi's strength.

Amidst his shock, he felt a chill run down his spine, and his legs subconsciously softened as he stuttered: "This junior knows his wrongs, this junior knows his wrongs, please forgive me."

"No need for forgiveness. Today, the one who attacked was this old man. If you do not change your nature, if you continue to be like this, you will definitely end up suffering in the future. "

"Yes, yes." This junior will definitely remember Senior's teachings … "

From start to finish, Zhou Shucai didn't even dare to raise his head to look at Qiu Fuzi.

What a joke, the coercion on Qiu Fuzi's body was not something he could look down upon.

"You can go."

Qiu Fuzi lightly waved his hand and stopped looking at Zhou Shucai.

Seeing that, Zhou Shucai heaved a sigh of relief, immediately getting up from the stage, and ran off without looking back.

Shang Zifeng looked at Qiu Fuzi, his thoughts running amok.

He wanted to say something to express his gratitude, but the words would not come out of his mouth for some reason.

Maybe Qiu Fuzi shocked him too much.

Although his strength was slightly weaker than Four Elders's, his aura was exactly the same.

As a former disciple of Yuxu, he could clearly feel it.

This caused Shang Zifeng to involuntarily connect Qiu Fuzi and the Yuxu Sect.

He suppressed the astonishment and doubt in his heart.

In the end, Shang Zifeng only cupped his hands towards Qiu Fuzi and thanked him without saying anything else.

Qiu Fuzi shook his head slightly, turned around and returned to his seat.

It was as if nothing had happened, as if nothing had happened at all. It was just as indifferent and imposing as before.

Shifting his gaze away, Shang Zifeng turned around and said to the bookkeeper who was still in a daze: "Since the duel with Zhou Shucai is over, it's not good for me to stay here any longer, let's part ways here."

"Is Young Master Shang not planning to participate in this competition?"

"Thanks for the invitation, but I'm not interested in it."

He then turned to the three teachers and said politely, "Seniors, this junior still has some matters to attend to. I have no choice but to withdraw from the competition. Please forgive me."

It was entirely voluntary whether or not he would participate in the competition.

There were also cases where competitors left midway due to a lack of knowledge.

He was already used to it.

Therefore, although the three teachers were unwilling, they still shook their heads. "If that's the case, then I won't force you to stay." "Go ahead."

Hearing that, Shang Zifeng cupped his fists towards Qiu Fuzi and jumped down the stage.

When Zhou Shucai suddenly took action just now, he was extremely shocked. Even Wang Dazhuang who was watching the competition from the bottom of the stage subconsciously pulled out the blade on his back.

But Zhou Shucai's attacks were fast, and unexpected, so it was too late for them to stop him even if they wanted to, they could not help but cry out.

If the sound could shatter a person's bones, Zhou Shucai would definitely not even have bones left.

From Wang Dazhuang's point of view, Shang Zifeng had only challenged him at his request.

If something bad happened to him because of this, he would be unable to sleep or eat at all for the rest of his life.

But just as the sharp fan was about to pierce through Shang Zifeng's heart, to their surprise, Qiu Fuzi suddenly made his move.

Just like that, in the nick of time, Zhou Shucai was sent flying, saving his life.

This caused their hearts, which had almost stopped beating, to come back to life.

The gaze they used to look at Qiu Fuzi was also a little more respectful.

However, what they did not know was that even if Qiu Fuzi did not attack, Zhou Shucai would not have harmed even a hair on his head.

Although Shang Zifeng was not very strong now and he did not have the corresponding technique, he was still able to handle a true warrior of Zhou Shucai's strength with ease.

After bidding farewell to Wang Dazhuang, Shang Zifeng went over to Snowball without even glancing at her, and directly left.

Seeing that, the shadow behind him also cupped his fists towards Wang Dazhuang and the youth who was fighting with him just now. Holding the pitiful snowball, he followed closely behind, afraid that Shang Zifeng would disappear without a trace.

After the several people left, the match did not end because of this small episode. Under the bookkeeper's arrangement, the match continued.

Looking at Shang Zifeng's leaving figure, Qiu Fuzi stroked his beard, his eyes flashing, and thought to himself: "This little brat, just now, he was looking at me with his eyes … Did you see through my strength? "

With that thought, Qiu Fuzi immediately rejected it.

The boy in front of him was very young. He was only around twenty years old. How could he have such a terrifying cultivation?

"Old Qiu, what's wrong?" Is he interested in that kid as well? "

At this time, Teacher Ji, who was sitting by the side, noticed Qiu Fuzi's serious expression and suddenly asked.

They were well aware of Qiu Fuzi's strength, so they were not as surprised as the others when Qiu Fuzi erupted.

Hearing that, Qiu Fuzi shook his head and laughed, it was unknown if he was laughing at Shang Zifeng's arrogance or his shocking thoughts just now.

"From the looks of it, Elder Ji has his eyes on that lad?" This young man is talented and nimble. If he were to carefully carve it, he would definitely be able to accomplish something in the future. However, if it's just that, it's not enough for me to have the idea of taking him in. "

Teacher Ji strongly agreed.

Not to mention the Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, White Tiger, and the disciples of the Black Tortoise Academy who were all ranked in the top four, they were all extremely outstanding, possessing inhuman talent.

Even with their own cultivation, they were considered the upper echelons of the current Five Great Sects and the Zhen Wu Great Clan.

Even the Unparalleled Academy, who was ranked last, was a top-notch talented girl, and was heroic and unyielding.

Right now, Shang Zifeng had only matched up against a few of them, his performance was not bad, but it was not in a range that they could accept.

Teacher Zheng suddenly interjected, "I don't think so. Did you notice that when Zhou Shucai attacked that brat just now, he did not seem to be panicked at all? "

Recalling the scene from before, Qiu Fuzi's brows deeply knitted, "You mean …"

"If I'm not wrong, that kid should have a certain level of strength. Although it is not high, but to me, it is more than enough to deal with Zhou Shucai. "

Pausing, "This kid is interesting! "Ah, you attacked too quickly …"

Teacher Ji shared his thoughts, while Teacher Zheng nodded his head in agreement.

Anyone of these three teachers had a profound cultivation base.

However, in terms of character, Qiu Fuzi was not as calm as the other two.

Hearing that, Qiu Fuzi laughed, "If he is truly as outstanding as you have said, I am not afraid that he will run away."

Six-Eyed looked at each other. The three of them understood each other and smiled at the same time … When he arrived at a secluded corner, Shang Zifeng suddenly stopped and turned around to look at the shadow that had been closely following him. His gaze fell on snowball who was in his arms, and said with a frown: "How long do you want to stay in his arms? Aren't you going to come back? "

Snowball sniffed and carefully glanced at the shadow. "Shua!"

She jumped into Shang Zifeng's embrace, afraid that Shang Zifeng would leave her behind.

Seeing that Snowball appearing to be more obedient than before when he was in his arms, Shang Zifeng felt a little better.

Only then did he look at the shadow.

Previously, he was still on guard against the follower, thinking that this person definitely had an ulterior motive for following him. He might even be hiding his strength and could harm him at any time.

However, just now, he was able to see through Qiu Fuzi's strength with a glance, and when facing a shadow, he did not feel a trace of profound energy's fluctuation, nor did he feel any strength from Zhou Shucai.

This made him a little surprised.

Did he overthink things?

Was this person really just an ordinary person?

Shang Zifeng questioned himself, the current him was dressed poorly, and had no money on him, just as Zhou Shucai had said, he was no different from a beggar.

If one were to say that the shadow had other intentions for him, even Shang Zifeng himself would not agree.

"Speak, why have you been following me all this time?"

Shang Zifeng really didn't want to waste anymore time with him.

He still had other things to do, so he felt uncomfortable following such an eccentric person around.

The lackey chuckled. "Brother Shang, look at what you're saying." You saved my life in the woods. To repay you for saving my life, I made the most important decision of my life. That is to acknowledge you as a big brother. From now on, you are my big brother. Wherever you go, little brother will follow you. He would not refuse it no matter what it took! You see, there are two other clothes. Pick a suitable one for yourself, so that others don't tell you that you want a meal! "

The lackey immediately took the clothes he stripped from the remaining two bandits and passed it over to Shang Zifeng, as if he was going to change his clothes.

Shang Zifeng felt a burst of cold sweat and goosebumps all over the ground.

He stepped back a few steps and made a "stop".

the gesture.

"Wait a minute, according to what you're saying, you're going to follow me forever? Won't you go home? Aren't you going to look for your parents? Also, for no reason at all, you chose a stranger as your big brother. Do you think your father would agree to let you do this? Does your mother agree? Does your brother agree? "

Originally, Shang Zifeng was only teasing him teasingly. He only said this because he wanted this troublesome guy in front of him to stay away from him.

Unexpectedly, as the words left his mouth, the happy expression on his face gradually turned sad.

He muttered, "As early as when I was six years old, I had no home. For the past ten years, I've roamed the streets alone, living a life without any fixed abode. No family, no parents, no brothers, no friends. "There is only myself …"

Hearing this, Shang Zifeng's nose turned sour, and he immediately became awkward.

He had never expected that a casual sentence would have such an effect.

He could not help but say apologetically, "I …" "I didn't mean to …"

"I'm fine. I'm already used to this. "

The lackey chuckled and waved his hand. He immediately put on a smile.

Even Shang Zifeng himself sighed at the speed of the change in his expression.

Even though Shang Zifeng was still wary of followers, and even though he did not know why this person was following him around, his intuition told him that this youth in front of him had no ill intentions.

Right now, he was also traveling alone, so it was not bad to have another companion.

Seeing that Shang Zifeng had loosened his grip, he immediately followed behind and laughed, "Brother Shang, your highness, little brother Ying Tian, is only 16 years old this year."

Hearing Ying Tian call him Big Brother Shang, Shang Zifeng suddenly thought of Shang Ziyu.

In an instant, he felt as if something had touched his heart, causing him to feel warmth in his heart.

He was even more impatient to go to Tianji Pavilion to take a look.

"Shang Zifeng, twenty this year. Seeing that you are one year younger than my third brother, if you don't mind, you can call me second brother from now on. "

Shang Zifeng was not a reckless person, the reason he recognized this weirdo was because Snowball did not reject him.

From this, it could be seen that Ying Tian was not an evil person.

After all these years, although Shang Zifeng did not completely understand the spirit soul of the snowball, he still knew a lot.

If Yingtian was a traitor or someone with ulterior motives, Snowball would definitely view him with hostility at the first possible moment.

To this point, Shang Zifeng had already verified it from many things.

Especially the lonely expression that Ying Tian had just now, Shang Zifeng was unable to think of any way to refuse it.

Ying Tian was overjoyed when he heard this. Just as he was about to say something, a voice suddenly came from behind. It was an extremely different atmosphere.

"What a good 'brother in trouble'!" I wonder if you guys can still feel such brotherly affection in the face of death? "

The sound of sparse footsteps followed. Shang Zifeng and Ying Tian only saw a black mass of people moving around, and in the blink of an eye, the entire corner was completely blocked.
