Chapter 384: The Robbery of Pang Feiyun (4th edition) (2/2)

As for whether Renzhen Cuo regarded him as an enemy that she would fight against using the strength she developed under Zhou Bao, it was simply not one of his concerns. The disparity between their levels of mastery was so wide that it made any kind of plotting a joke. As long as he maintained his power, Renzhen Cuo would not have the courage to betray him. Even if he lost his strength one day, it would not be a person with Renzhen Cuo's level of mastery that caused the trouble.

To speak the truth, he felt a little indifferent about this piece of territory, but as time went by, he helplessly sensed that as his power grew stronger and stronger, he had to bear more and more burdens. Putting Jiang Xiao and the rest aside, just his family alone made him regard his piece of territory more seriously. Perhaps old Zhou Bao did not request anything from him, but as his own power grew stronger and stronger, he was susceptible to more and more influences. His family's life and safety were issues that he had to care about and his wife could not be disregarded as he wished.

All of this inevitably caused Zhou Bao's wholehearted thought-training practice to fail as that was all channeled to common matters.

”Looks like I'm just a layman after all who isn't open minded and can't let go!” Sitting behind a heavy rosewood desk, his fingers tapped lightly against the thick table. He listened to the heavy sound of his taps to relieve his nervousness due to stress.

Suddenly, his fingers stopped in mid-air. His brows furrowed slightly, his head also lifted slightly, and he looked out the door.

”I'm not sure which friend has arrived ceremoniously. Please show yourself!”

”The Divine Wind Palace, the School of Five Virtues, Pang Feiyun!”

A white figure appeared with a brief introduction of himself outside the library of Zhou Bao's study room.

”Pang Feiyun?!” Zhou Bao's squinted slightly. The guy named Pang Feiyun was a young man, a very young man. His youth was not based on his appearance. There were many strong men and women in the world who had undergone plastic surgery but looked very young when they aged. And the young man standing in front of Zhou Bao was evidently not an aged man for he carried the ostentatious aura of youth and its prideful spirit. These signs showed that he was a young man, not an old-aged tree trunk who had undergone plastic surgery.

”The School of Five Virtues, huh, I have actually heard of it. I wonder why Your Excellency Pang Feiyun has arrived here today!” Zhou Bao raised his eyebrows, shooting a provocative glance at Pang Feiyun. He did not welcome him into his house nor greet him politely.

The anger in Pang Feiyun's eyes flashed briefly before dissipating. But even a fool could see that he was suppressing his anger.

”I have come this time with all due respect to the Second Supervisor to discuss a matter with you!” Pang Feiyun briskly took huge strides toward the desk of Zhou Bao, sat down in the first chair, raised his chin up high, and eyed Zhou Bao fiercely.

”It seems that we have nothing to talk about!” Zhou Bao shook his head. ”I know that you and that idiot Master of Golden Lights have made a stupid deal to steal my Yin and Yang Dust Formation's formation map. But let me tell you that is only a dream!” Zhou Bao spoke in an understated tone, but the effect was surprisingly good.

Pang Feiyun's reaction was entirely within the expectations of Zhou Bao. Pang Feiyun swiftly stood up and pointed his fingers at Zhou Bao as if he had something to say. But, for a long time, his fingers trembled an uncountable number of times. As the direct disciple of Yi IV in the School of Five Virtues, Pang Feiyun was an expert young man. Pang Feiyun's status in the Penglai Region was extremely noble. Even the prince and princesses from the Li Dynasty were only small figures next to him. Together with his qualifications and his years of cultivation, he was the top one among the youth in the Divine Wind Palace. Naturally, he developed the habit of feeling superior to everyone else so that even his bones could be said to be made of pride. In all the years of his life so far, there had never been anyone who rejected him outrightly or even snubbed him so subtly like Zhou Bao had.

”Don't point at me like that and don't look at me with that strange look. As a disciple of the Divine Wind Palace and a subordinate of the School of Five Virtues, you should learn to respect others. When you visit someone, you should at least greet them. And when you make demanding requests you should maintain a humble attitude, rather than sting and snub others like you have. That's not good!”

”Brat, you are asking for death!”

This condescending attitude finally infuriated Pang Feiyun completely. Without a thought, he swiftly punched at Zhou Bao's head.

”You are the only one who is looking for death!” As he watched the incoming blow, Zhou Bao reached out and touched Pang Feiyun's fist with the tip of his finger.

There was no trace of a sound. Zhou Bao's touch was like a black hole that directly engulfed the force that Pang Feiyun had struck with. Pang Feiyun froze slightly and his eyes flashed with a hint of astonishment. His body seemed to be lifted by a vigorous force before he flew back violently. Like a burlap sack, he fell heavily in the yard in front of the house. He bounced on the ground and completely stopped moving. For a moment, there was only exhalation but no inhalation in Pang Feiyun's body.

”Take him away and throw him out of the house!” Zhou Bao's gentle order summoned two strong servants from the darkness who took Pang Feiyun away.
