Chapter 148

One-On-One Fight

“Tomorrow? Are you kidding me? If you don't hand Li Chengfeng over by today, I will throw you off the cliff!” Senior Brother Zhou warned with a grin.

Yibai couldn't fake his laughter anymore. He wailed, “Brother Zhou, please spare us! You don't have to do this!”

Senior Brother Zhou sneered and was about to hit them, when suddenly he heard an angry shout, “Stop it!”

Senior Brother Zhou was taken aback. He turned to look and saw two men walking over. One of them had an attentive gaze and an air of confidence to him. It was definitely Li Chengfeng.

Tongqiu saw Chengfeng approach and immediately pointed at him while shouting, “Brother Zhou, that's Li Chengfeng! Please let us go!”

Chengfeng couldn't be bothered with the two guys at Senior Brother Zhou's feet. They had neither the spine nor guts. He had no idea why the two of them didn't follow everyone else and defect to Hidden Brocade Court.

Although he despised the pair's lack of guts, there was something he hated even more, and that was Senior Brother Zhou's bullying of people weaker than him!

Senior Brother Zhou sized Chengfeng up. He noticed that the uniform that Chengfeng was wearing didn't have a single stripe. He laughed c.o.c.kily, “You're Li Chengfeng?”

Chengfeng sneered, “I don't believe we've met before, Senior Brother Zhou. How may I help you?”

Senior Brother Zhou released his foot from Yibai, turned to Chengfeng and said, “You're the one who injured Huang Nishang?”

It was this moment, Chengfeng realised this was about revenge!

Chengfeng replied, “No, that was Grand Senior Sister's doing!”

This senior brother Zhou, whose name was Zhou Jieyi, was a promising young cultivator of the Hidden Modesty Court. He entered the sect just before Chengfeng. After ten years of effort, he went from an ordinary pleb to a foundation building cultivator.

Although he was quite talented, he started training late as his family was unable to support his expensive training expenses. Although he dedicated much of his time and efforts to completing the various tasks of the sect, they were not as fruitful as he had hoped.

Until one day, he discovered that a senior from the Hidden Modesty Court and a senior sister from the Hidden Beauty Court had become partners, he no longer had to worry about not having enough to pay for training. He had an epiphany: looks like there are methods for impoverished people like me to train!

That is… if he partnered with a rich senior sister!

This time there weren't many newcomers from the Hidden Beauty Court, but the most noticeable one was Huang Nishang. She spent her money generously, furthermore, she was stunningly beautiful. With those traits, she was the most sought after in Hidden Beauty Court.

If he could partner up with her, he could train for another thirty years!

But everyone else had the same idea. If Zhou Jieyi could think of it, naturally everyone else could too. As soon as she entered Hidden Beauty Court, she was surrounded by her fellow cultivators. Although he had decent skills and looks, his chances with her were very slim.

But Zhou Jieyi was smart, and smart people know how to take shortcuts. After learning that Nishang had been whipped by the Grand Senior Sister, he immediately rushed to Hidden Beauty Court to visit her.

But the whip left a mark on her body. How could she, a vain girl who cherished her appearance, allow herself to be seen with such a disfigurement?
