Xia Qingchen smiled, thought about it, and then nodded.

A martial exchange meet wasn’t of much use to him, but it would be an eye-opener for Grudgy.

That night, he brought Grudgy back to the martial pavilion.

…

At the mass burial site in the suburbs.

There was a lone grave that didn’t even have a tombstone. Li Weifeng, who had been missing for very long, dug it out, exposing a headless corpse.

He carried out the corpse, breaking down in tears. “Zong`er!”

The person who had been buried here was Li Weifeng’s son, Li Yaozong, who had been suspected of colluding with bandits.

Li Weifeng managed to successfully break free from the martial pavilion’s pursuit and officially joined the bandits.

Three months later, he returned to the suburbs and dug out his son who had been beheaded.

“Martial pavilion, Xia Qingchen, Lone Cloud City… I, Li Weifeng swear that I’ll get you to pay back with blood!”

A bolt of lightning flashed, making his face appear like a vicious ghost.

The next day!

The sky was dark.

The cold wind of the early winter came with a drizzle, and it was spine-chilling.

However, it was very warm in the martial pavilion’s Peony Garden.

Everyone from the martial pavilion’s elite senior students, except for the Four Heroes, had arrived.

They were enthusiastically sharing their knowledge of martial arts and even sparring occasionally.

“Senior Zhou, you’re saying that this time around, it won’t be the young pavilion lord who will be giving us guidance personally, but that his teacher will be the one coming?” a student asked.

Zhou Xuelin nodded.

“Sssss! Then, wouldn’t he be a reputable person of at least 100 years old?”

Given Shen Jinghong’s status, how many people in the entire city had the right to become his teacher?

“It should be,” Zhou Xuelin said with certainty, revealing an admiring gaze. “When his teacher comes later on, we must welcome him respectfully.”

“We understand!”

It was clear that Zhou Xuelin had quite a high status amongst them.

Drip——

A single rain droplet slid down from the pavilion’s roof and then silently dropped onto a bamboo hat.

The person wearing the bamboo hat slowly walked into the pavilion. He took off his hat and shook it gently.

A puppy that had pure white hair followed behind him. It shook its body endlessly after it entered the pavilion, rattling off the rainwater that had dampened its body.

“What the hell? We, the senior A class students, are having a gathering here. Why is someone unrelated coming here?” A student was splashed by a bit of rainwater in the face.

“Don’t you have eyes to see? Scram!” The person with the bamboo hat was naturally Xia Qingchen who had come as agreed.

He took a faint look at the students here, then shook his head slightly. “A disorderly mob!”

There wasn’t a decent student here at all.

Xia Qingchen wasn’t really willing to give guidance to them.

“Xia Qingchen?” Zhou Xuelin recognized him and her elegant brows furrowed. She wore a cold expression and said, “You haven’t had enough humiliation at the Fire Lake and came running here to get more?”

She was still under the assumption that Xia Qingchen had fled in a sorry plight after cultivating at the Fire Lake for two days.

“Leave. You didn’t have the right to enter the Fire Lake, and this martial exchange meet is not something that someone like you can attend easily either.” Zhou Xuelin was ‘straightforward and outspoken’ as usual.

Xia Qingchen threw her an indifferent glance.

“If you don’t know how to speak, then you can choose not to. No one is treating you as a dumb.” Xia Qingchen’s brows raised slightly.

He disliked this arrogant woman.

Zhou Xuelin shook her head, wearing a contemptuous gaze. “You really can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. You treat another person’s goodwill as ill intent. People like you deserve to struggle in D class, amongst a pile of trash, never to be able to succeed in life.”

The moment she spoke up, the other students started to join her, reprimanding Xia Qingchen.

There were even people who had wanted to raise a hand against him.

“Forget it!” Zhou Xuelin pretended to be magnanimous. “It’s good to let this thing who doesn’t know how big the world is to watch the martial exchange meet from the side. He’ll be able to see the gap between us and himself!”

“Senior Zhou is too lenient!”

“That’s right. He had clearly gotten the news and come uninvited to snoop in on our martial exchange meet. Why do we have to treat a person who takes advantage of others like this well?”

Everyone piped in, concluding that Xia Qingchen was a despicable guy who would steal experience and martial skills.

Zhou Xuelin waved her hand. “Given how deep and unfathomable our martial arts are, he won’t be able to learn them even if he were to look at them a 100 times. Don’t worry!”

She then waved her hand at Xia Qingchen. “It’s fine for you to snoop, but please stand further away and don’t affect our exchanges.”

She wore a disgusted expression as if she was chasing off a fly.

Xia Qingchen continued to wear an indifferent expression, undisturbed by the humiliation.

“Let me introduce myself. I’m Xia Qingchen. I’m neither here to snoop on your inferior martial arts experience, nor am I here to put up with your attitudes.” Xia Qingchen hung up the bamboo hat on the wall and slowly walked to the center of the pavilion.

He looked around at everyone before saying calmly, “I’ve been asked to come and give guidance to you bunch of trash.”

From his perspective, it was true that these senior students could only be seen as trash.

His words immediately incurred everyone’s wrath.

“Did you guys see that? He wants to snoop on our martial exchange meet despite having such an attitude?” Zhou Xuelin’s expression was icy-cold, and she shook her head. “You don’t know what’s good for you! Shaoxuan, chase him away!” The young man called Shaoxuan stood up. He was 18 years old and at the ninth radiance-level of the minor constellation stage.

He couldn’t bear the sight of Xia Qingchen from the start and quickly went up to perform a flying kick, wanting to send Xia Qingchen flying.

Xia Qingchen’s gaze turned cold. “Before fighting against me, take on my dog first. Only people who can win against it have the right to receive personal guidance from me.”

Dog?

Shaoxuan was stunned and his vision suddenly blurred, a furry white ball pouncing toward him.

He was taken by surprise and quickly used his arms to put up a block.

However, he was still too late.

His face was kicked harshly by a pair of dog legs.

Under the huge force, Shaoxuan was forced to stumble backward, coming to a stop only after crashing onto another student.

There were two obvious paw prints left on his face.

His nose was bleeding profusely as well.

He staggered up back to his feet, lowered his head, and saw that a snow-white dog was squatting on the ground, scratching its ear with its right front leg.

“You… you’re indulging your dog to commit vicious acts!” Shaoxuan said angrily.

Grudgy blew the earwax on its paw and spat, saying, “Be more respectful when you speak. What dog? Please address me respectfully as Master Dog!”

Ahhh!

Everyone was taken by shock.

“A dog that can speak!”

Shaoxuan was very surprised. He looked at Grudgy in disbelief. “You’re a spirit pet?”

Usually, only spirit pets with high intelligence could understand the human language.

“Heh!” Grudgy pouted unhappily. “Don’t you understand dog language? I’m asking you to call me Master Dog!” Shaoxuan’s countenance turned grim!

To think that he was being reprimanded by a dog.

“I’m going to beat you to death!” Shaoxuan mobilized his inner force, kicking out toward it.

Grudgy didn’t dodge, its eyes shining with despise. “Foolish human. You know nothing about strength!”

Saying this, it casually put out one of its legs, meeting Shaoxuan’s attack head-on.

Bang——

What took everyone by surprise was that even though both parties clashed head-on with their inner forces, Shaoxuan was the one that was at a disadvantage, being sent out flying by a dog’s kick and thrown into the rain.

“A spirit pet at the ninth radiance-level of the minor constellation stage!” Everyone had thought that Grudgy was just an ordinary spirit pet that could speak, similar to how parrots were like. They hadn’t expected that Grudgy was a cultivating spirit pet.

At its level, it could no longer be called a spirit pet; maybe a ‘demon pet’ would be more accurate.

As the name suggested, these were pets that had become demons!

Amidst everyone’s surprise, Grudgy quietly drew back its leg, looking up and sighing, “Sigh, it’s the loneliest to be invincible!”
