When the elder checked out the people in Zheng-Fu's group, he did not feel that anyone in the group was particularly special, except for Zheng-Fu. He was a little startled by Zheng-Fu's high energy level, which did not match the way he acted because he was sitting like he did not care about the world. He was also the youngest one in the group…
"That's quite something. He is this young but could cultivate the energy up to this level. That's like a rare genius. Where did he come from?" The elder forgot himself and let out what he thought about Zheng-Fu quietly. However, that was still loud enough for the soldier who was close to him to hear. Then the elder walked up to Zheng-Fu's group…
"That elder's coming toward us. What should we do, Young Master?" Dong-Chen asked Zheng-Fu when he saw that the elder was coming to his group. He wanted to know what he should do, not because he was scared of the elder. The rest of the group seemed a little afraid, but they would not surrender to anyone either…
"You guys don't have to do anything. I'll take care of him." Zheng-Fu replied to ensure that no one said anything unless he told them to do something…
Thud!
The elder reached Zheng-Fu's table. The soldiers also surrounded the group and looked at everyone in the group at once at the same time…
"Ahem! Can you tell me where Lady Guan-Ying-Ping went? If you tell me, I'll reward you well." Thud! The elder took out a cloth bag, put it on the table, and said, "But if you try to withhold the information, you'll be severely punished." The elder released the pressure energy to stress out the kids in the group after he finished the sentence….
"Ugh!"
The pressure energy from the elder turned the four men's faces pale. They had to swallow air the minute they felt some kind of energy suppressing them. It made it hard for them to breathe. However, Zheng-Fu was not affected by the suppression at all. He was still relaxed as usual and started to release the Qi energy wave to protect the people in his group when he saw that everyone was in a bad place…
"Huh…"
The elder was a little surprised to see that Zheng-Fu did not feel strange at all with his pressure energy. Not only that, but he also projected the Qi energy wave to protect the people in his group…
"Excellent!"
The elder stopped suppressing the people in Zheng-Fu's group while saying the word 'excellent' to Zheng-Fu. He then stroked his beard while looking at Zheng-Fu and saying…
"You're quite talented, kid! A person my age never wishes to stop your growth, so why don't you tell me where Lady Guan-Ying-Ping is? I think you know well that it's not wise to be difficult. If you tell me, you'll be rewarded with money. Don't you think that's nice?"
The elder complimented Zheng-Fu and warned him at the same time. He wanted Zheng-Fu to think that it was not good to go against the chief commander, who was so powerful. The only two people who were more powerful than him were the King and the Viceroy. Zheng-Fu should know that a kid like him would not be able to fight with the father of Lady Guan-Ying-Ping.
So, rather than asking to be arrested and tortured, he should think about the money. Money was always better than being in pain…
"We're just commoners, grandpa. The honorable Lady Guan-Ying-Ping would not have anything to do with us. She just came over to teach us a lesson. We don't know about the hiding place or anything like that. Everyone in the tavern saw that she ran to the back of the tavern. And as for the thing that I gave her, it was just…"
"You horrible kid!"
As everyone was paying attention to the conversation between the chief butler and Zheng-Fu, all of a sudden, they heard the voice of a young woman shouting at someone. When they turned to look, they saw a middle-aged man with a big body and a horrifying and respectable look coming from the back of the tavern…
"Chief Commander!?"
Thud!
All the soldiers in the tavern knelt the minute they saw that middle-aged man. They all called him 'Chief Commander' at once. The elder was the only one who did not kneel because he was in a state of confusion about seeing the middle-aged man…
"Why are you here, Chief Commander? But I thought I heard Lady Guan's voice."
The elder did not have a chance to ask any questions when the middle-aged man, who was called 'Chief Commander', stopped in front of him and Zheng-Fu. The man stared at Zheng-Fu as if he wanted to kill him…
"Why did it turn out this way? Did you try to trick me? How can I go strolling looking like this?"
The middle-aged man who was called 'Chief Commander' was actually Guan-Ying-Ping. She turned into a man after she took the pill that Zheng-Fu gave her. After she ran to the back of the tavern, she took the pill and started to change into a man immediately. At first, she turned into a good-looking man, which was exactly what she wanted to be…
However, while she was in the process of turning into that handsome man, she heard the shouts of the soldiers who were looking for her. That made her think of her father instantly. As a result, Guan-Ying-Ping turned into his father instead. When she saw that she had turned into her father, she was angry with Zheng-Fu instantly. So, she ran out of the back to yell at Zheng-Fu…
Now everybody in the tavern stared at the middle-aged man and wondered why the chief commander had a voice as beautiful as a young woman's voice. The people who saw the situation from the beginning felt like going crazy. The whole thing was too strange for them to make sense within a short period of time…
"My Lady!?"
When the elder got back to himself, he exclaimed Guan-Ying-Ping's identity out of shock. He looked at the chief commander in front of him in awe…
"That's right, Chief Butler! It's me!" Guan-Ying-Ping replied without looking at the elder one bit because her eyes were fixed on Zheng-Fu with rage…
"But why are you looking like…"
"It's because of this horrible kid!" Guan-Ying-Ping said while pointing at Zheng-Fu, but she did not know that her look with the gesture was completely funny in the eyes of others. What the people in the tavern saw was a big-bodied, horrifying-looking man pointing at a boy with the manner of a young woman…
"Oops!"
A lot of people could not help but want to laugh, but they had to withhold it by covering their mouths. They knew that if they let out just a single laugh, they would meet their death. But even though no one showed it, Guan-Ying-Ping could feel it. And that made her even more furious…
"Hey, My Lady, you can't blame me. I'm not responsible for that. It's because of yourself." Zheng-Fu stood up to give her a clear response instantly…
"Because of me!? If it were not for your silly pill, I wouldn't have turned into this. It's because of you and you alone!" Guan-Ying-Ping did not want to give up, even though Zheng-Fu was right. He did explain to her that she would turn into the person that she thought of after taking the pill. And she did think about her father while the pill was working its magic.
That was why she looked like her father now…
"Silly pill!?"
When the elder heard about the pill, he was immediately interested in knowing what it was. He wondered how a pill could change someone into another person. If he had not heard a young woman's voice, he would not have known that the chief commander in front of him was actually his Lady Guan-Ying-Ping…
"Besides, what exactly do you want from me? I don't have any remedy for that. You have to wait until the pill wears off. It should be about two shichens as I told you." Zheng-Fu could guess what Guan-Ying-Ping wanted. He actually knew how to stop the effect of the pill, but he lied to the young woman because he wanted to play with her…
"What!?"
When Guan-Ying-Ping heard that, she felt desperate instantly. It would be hell for her to look like her father for the next two whole shichens. She just wished to go out, take a walk in the market, and enjoy the city. Looking like her father prevented her from doing so…
"I won't accept that! You must turn me back to myself; otherwise, I'll have my soldiers arrest you and your friends. You will be in prison until I change back to myself. No! You and your friends will be in prison until I'm satisfied!" Guan-Ying-Ping did not believe that Zheng-Fu could not help her, so she started to threaten him with her power…
"Tsk! All rich people or powerful people like to threaten weaker people. That's disgusting!" Zheng-Fu started to curse Guan-Ying-Ping when she began to use her power to threaten him. That made her falter immediately…
Zheng-Fu's words were like thunder that struck her heart. She had always refused to use her power to hurt other people, but she did it this time with Zheng-Fu. She felt like a thousand needles were piercing her heart. And that hurt…
"Sob… Sob… Sob… I hate you!"
Guan-Ying-Ping, who looked exactly like her father, started to cry. She cursed Zheng-Fu under that muscular body before running out of the tavern without caring about anyone…
"My Lady!"
The elder exclaimed shockingly when he saw his Lady Guan-Ying-Ping running out of the tavern. The man was worried about her, so he ran after her. In a way, it would not be a good sight to let the body of the chief commander run and cry like that on the street…
If the villagers or the enemies saw that, the chief commander's reputation would be dampened. The elder thought that he could come back to take care of Zheng-Fu's group at any time later on. As long as the group was still in town, the chief commander would be able to teach them the lesson…
"Go get me the carriage! I'll go get Lady Guan-Ying-Ping!"
"Yes, sir!"
After that, the elder soared off at great speed on the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage. That was faster than the speed of Guan-Ying-Ping, so it was not difficult for him to catch up with her. He just had to rush out right away, so she would not be out of his sight…
