Chapter 63: Forget It

"Please allow me that, young master!" Elder Zhen Peng repeated his request.

By this point, everyone was staring at Xiang Shaoyun, their eyes filled with all sorts of emotions such as envy and doubt.

Xiang Shaoyun coughed before finally giving a reply. "Fine, in view of the sincerity you've shown, just follow me around in the future. Your aptitude is really nothing special, but I suppose you can improve with some guidance. It won't be difficult for you to reach the peak of Skysoar Realm. But of course, you need to work hard if you want to reach an even higher level."

Bang!

The words slammed into the minds of the others, giving them a sensation that they were going to faint soon. A tiny Astral Realm cultivator was going to guide a new King Realm cultivator? Shouldn't it be the other way round? That was no different than a tiny brat claiming to teach an adult, something that completely toppled common sense.

"Many thanks, young master!" Elder Zhen Peng replied deferentially.

The people were now even more stunned. They were even starting to wonder if Elder Zhen Peng had been possessed or something. Why was he listening to this kid?

Xiang Shaoyun glanced at the crowd and said with a shrug, "Alright, alright, don't look at me like that, guys. Your aptitudes are even worse. I won't even accept you fellows as my underlings. Forget it."

Everyone's faces darkened.

What the hell is this? Screw this kid!

everyone cursed inwardly.

They were elders of the Martial Hall Palace, experts at the Transformation Realm. And a kid was speaking to them with such contempt? That was an insult!

"Elder Zhen Peng..." Yang Gaochuan did not know what to say anymore.

Elder Zhen Peng waved his hand and said, "Leave, all of you. Don't spread the news that I've broken through. Deal with the aftermath as you see fit." He paused slightly before adding, "Of course, the matters of Martial Hall Palace will still be of my concern."

He only added the final sentence to placate these people. Sure enough, everyone heaved a breath of relief when they heard his guarantee. They were worried that Elder Zhen Peng would focus on being this kid's underling and ignore everything about the Martial Hall Palace from then on.

After Elder Zhen Peng said all he had to say, they saluted him and left one after another. It was at this moment that Xiang Shaoyun called out to Yang Gaochuan, "Palace master, please stay."

"Oh, ki—uhm. What do you need?" Yang Gaochuan asked. He no longer dared to call Xiang Shaoyun "kid".

"Where are my rewards? I've passed the sixth limit room! Don't leave without giving me my rewards!" Xiang Shaoyun said, stepping forth.

"Sure, sure, I won't skimp on your rewards. Just go take whatever you need from the Weapon Hall and Medicine Hall. I will also get someone to pass 100,000 points to you as reward," Yang Gaochuan quickly said.

Xiang Shaoyun now had the backing of Elder Zhen Peng. Where in the Martial Hall Palace couldn't he go? And what in the Martial Hall Palace couldn't he enjoy?

"Oh, nice. That's it, then," Xiang Shaoyun said in satisfaction. He indeed needed a large amount of resources for his cultivation. If the Martial Hall Palace was able to fully open up to him, he would be able to at least triple his cultivation speed. To the side, Zi Changhe smiled helplessly as he watched on. He did not even know what he should say about this Xiang Shaoyun anymore.

Freak?

Yes, that was the most fitting description for Xiang Shaoyun. Zi Changhe still remembered how Xiang Shaoyun had bragged about what an incredibly talented genius he was when he first joined. Now, he finally believed that Xing Shaoyun hadn't been bragging. What he had said was the utter truth. That much was obvious after Xiang Shaoyun reached the second stage of the Astral Realm.

And with some unknown method, Xiang Shaoyun had even managed to trick Elder Zhen Peng into becoming his underling. But no matter what, that still proved how extraordinary Xiang Shaoyun was. Zi Changhe now deeply believed that Xiang Shaoyun was an extraordinary person. He even started to feel as if Xiang Shaoyun no longer needed him as a senior brother.

Right this moment, Xiang Shaoyun walked toward Zi Changhe and said, "If there's nothing else, let's go, senior brother. I'll demonstrate the Lightning Spear Technique once when we get back. I think I'm already at the level you requested."

Zi Changhe blanked out when he heard that. He had never expected that Xiang Shaoyun would still call him senior brother.

"Why are you blanking out? Are you nervous because Old Peng is here? Don't worry, just pretend he's an ordinary elder," Xiang Shaoyun consoled.

Zi Changhe cursed,

Kid, even if you know that, you shouldn't have exposed me like that!

He immediately recovered and shouted, "Go back and show me!"

"Haha
