  A warm draft blew noisily across the path as everyone turned to look dumbly at the 14, 15 year old tender-looking Daoist.

  "Haha! If your dad is really a governor, why would you need to be here as a monk!"

  Su Bai laughed aloud. This joke was really too hilariously ridiculous. How could there be a governor who was so idiotic to send his son to suffer in the mountains?

  "Little Daoist, don't you know that monks are not supposed to utter falsehoods? Are you sure you can tell such lies?"

  Wu Xiaoli was also giggling madly. She felt that this little Daoist was really too cute.

  "Enough, we're not patient enough to continue bickering with you. Tell your abbot to come out and talk about our compensation!"

  As if she had become embarrassed by Lin Qingya's scolding, Wu Xiaoli retracted her laughter. All of a sudden, she didn't feel like continuing berating the young Daoist anymore.

  "Let's go."

  Bei Feng shook his head with annoyance. This was the first time he'd seen anyone behaving so arrogantly that they would dare to try to blackmail Mount Longhu. Truly, the ignorant were fearless!

  "Of course, Virtuous Sir."

  The young Daoist hurriedly ran back to Bei Feng and continued leading the way, completely ignoring Su Bai and the rest.

  "Hey, little Daoist, if your father is the governor, who's the father of this fellow? To be able to order the son of a governor around like that, his father must be some godly character!"

  Su Bai grew angry as he watched the little Daoist disregarding himself. With a few quick steps, he stepped in front of Bei Feng and scowled at the two unhappily.

  "Little Fellow, do you know what you're supposed to do in this kind of situation?"

  Bei Feng looked at the little Daoist who was at a loss of what to do and sighed lightly. He felt like he should give him some pointers today. Otherwise, if the latter left Mount Longhu with his personality, he would definitely get torn apart by the shameless people outside until even his bones were picked clean!

  "Hey! Didn't you hear me?! Call your abbot out here immediately! Otherwise, today's matters will not end so easily!"

  Su Bai felt exceedingly agitated and insulted on seeing that the little Daoist did not even cast a single glance at him.

  "I'm not sure…… "

  The young Daoist swiveled his eyes past the enraged Su Bai and looked up at Bei Feng uncertainly.

  "Sometimes, when people refuse to listen to reason, you just need to give them a good beating. There's no one who will not listen to reason after a beating! If that happens, it's because they haven't been beaten hard enough for them to listen to reason. You just need to give them another beating and try again!"

  Bei Feng told the young Daoist seriously with all the demeanor of a wise teacher. A look of confusion flashed across the young Daoist's eyes as he attempted to carve this precious sentence gifted by an esteemed Xiantian Lord in his heart.

  Bei Feng chuckled lightly as he flicked the slightly confused youngster on the forehead. Why is this kid still unable to understand his word?

  "What are you doing dazing out then? Beat them up!"

  Bei Feng rubbed his palms gleefully as he egged the boy on.

  "I'll give you…… "

  "HA!"

  As Su Bai stood there fuming and issuing threats, the little Daoist suddenly gave a loud shout and mustered his Qi to his chest. With a single move, he sent a small fist right into Su Bai's face!

  "Bam!"

  Su Bai was caught completely unprepared and was sent sprawling to the ground by that punch. Although the little Daoist had been born with a weak and sickly constitution, and was sent to Mount Longhu to learn cultivation, his body had already strengthened considerably after such a long time of training. Right now, his strength far exceeded a regular person's!

  That one punch almost knocked Su Bai out. He remained sitting on the ground with stars swimming around his eyes, unable to gather his senses for half a day.

  "You…… this little monk is beating people up?! I'm going to raise a report against you!"

  Wu Xiaoli ran up to Su Bai in a flustered manner to check on his injuries. Although one side of his face had swelled dramatically, there was nothing else wrong with him. Seeing this, Wu Xiaoli flew into a frenzy and rushed forward, grabbing the young Daoist by the robes.

  "There's no need to be overly considerate when dealing with this kind of female. Just give her a slap and be done with it."

  Bei Feng was like a persistent three-horned devil, appearing right behind the innocent young Daoist and guiding him with sinister suggestions at every turn.

  "Pa!"

  A crisp slapping sound rang out loudly through the venue as Wu Xiaoli remained standing on the same spot in shock. A scorching heat emanated from her face, causing her to cup her hands around her cheek. Half a second passed before she began bawling noisily.

  "Isn't this much simpler and more convenient?"

  Bei Feng smiled lightly as he looked at the exuberant young Daoist.

  "Virtuous Sir is really amazing!"

  The little Daoist nodded his head repeatedly like an adorable newborn chick. His gaze held traces of worship as he looked up at Bei Feng.

  "How can you lead a kid like that astray and teach him to beat people up?!"

  Lin Qingya stamped her feet and berated angrily as she stooped down to comfort Wu Xiaoli.

  Seeing this, the young Daoist quickly stepped forward as a fierce glint flickered in his eyes. Coughing awkwardly, Bei Feng placed on hand on the young Daoist's shoulder and stopped him.

  "With regards to beating people up, you still have much to learn. You must understand who should be beaten up, and who shouldn't be beaten up, who can you beat, and even when to give out a beating! Not everything should be solved with your fists either. Your fists should only be thought of as a method to solve problems, while relying on your brains is still the most important!"

  Bei Feng continued guiding the young Daoist patiently. He didn't really intend to let the youngster think that violence is the solution to everything!

  The little Daoist appeared even more confused at this point as he nodded his head uncertainly.

  "Respected greetings, Esteemed Lord!"

  "Ming Ze, why aren't you thanking the Esteemed Lord for his guidance?"

  The events here had already been noticed, and a middle-aged Daoist was strolling over with two younger Daoists trailing behind him. The middle-aged Daoist bowed lightly to Bei Feng before turning to the young Daoist.

  "Master!" Ming Ze called out in surprise. He did not expect that his master would actually turn up here.

  "It's fine, I quite like this kid too."

  Bei Feng felt a little breezy in his heart. After all, this person was the real master of the little Daoist.

  The Qi accumulation in the middle-aged Daoist's body had already reached a peak level, and he could break through to the Xiantian realm at any time. Even at Mount Longhu, this person's status should not be low.

  "You guys actually dare to hit people! I'm going to make sure that this broken monastery goes bankrupt!"

  Su Bai was blazing with fury as he caressed his cheek. Everything had gone his way smoothly ever since he was born. When had he ever been treated like this before? If word spreads that he'd been smacked to the ground with one hit by a 15, 16 year old boy, how was he supposed to raise his head in the streets ever again?

  "Master, this person says that his dad is the vice mayor of Lingxi city, and wants us to compensate them for something."

  Little Daoist Ming Ze still felt quite wronged even now. After all, he'd been scolded so fiercely by this two people for no good reason.

  "Alright, master understands. Bring the Esteemed Lord up first. I'll handle the matters here."

  The middle-aged Daoist rubbed Ming Ze affectionately on the head and instructed with a casual tone.

  The middle-aged Daoist actually felt rather helpless about the personality of this disciple of his. If it was several hundred years ago, he would definitely be a very good seedling suitable for cultivation. Alas, times had changed.

  Right now, it was fine if the boy remained on Mount Longhu, where there were numerous seniors to look after him. But he can't expect the boy to remain on Mount Longhu forever, right?! Sooner or later, he would have to go down the mountain and experience the world outside! With that sort of character, he would be tricked and swallowed whole by the vicious people of the world in an instant!

  After witnessing the innocent boy getting led astray so easily by Bei Feng, the middle-aged Daoist also felt that it was somewhat inappropriate. But, this was still a good start at least.

  "Master, I'll bring the Esteemed Lord to the Abbot first."

  Ming Ze bowed respectfully to the middle-aged Daoist before leading the way for Bei Feng.

  From the start to the end, Bei Feng had never truly spared a proper glance at Su Bai and Wu Xiaoli. Since they had nothing to do with him, he naturally did not want to bother himself with a few strangers he met on the road.

  As for whether or not Mount Longhu would be able to take care of the threats, he was not worried at all. This was the lofty Mount Longhu after all! Just the status of some of the people in the temple was enough to scare most people to death!

  Under the lead of young Daoist Ming Ze, Bei Feng quickly arrived at a yard.

  The yard was not very big, and a single towering ancient tree stood in the middle of it. Right now, the leaves on the tree was completely yellow. As a gust of wind blew past, large fistfuls of leaves would flutter off the branches.

  A refreshing smell of plum blossoms lingered in the yard, causing one to feel a sense of peacefulness. Although the yard was small, it had a unique style of its own. It was hard to imagine that such a simple yard was part of the residence of Mount Longhu's Abbot!

  "Abbot, the Esteemed Lord has arrived!" Young Daoist Ming Ze stood respectfully outside the door and announced.
