"Are you saying that these two elders are the Elder Immortal Flute Master and the Elder Lady Immortal Harp Master!?"
"Tha...T...T...T... that's right!!!! Both of them are the Elder Immortal Flute Master and the Elder Lady Immortal Harp Master, who were famous in the old days!" Zheng-Fu put his index finger forward, thumb pointed up, and pouted his lips before nodding and replying.
"Not just in the old days!!! I'm still famous these days, kid!!!" When Elder Yan heard Zheng-Fu's words, his displeased face appeared, along with his scolding of Zheng-Fu, but he did not look serious. It seemed more like Grandpa was scolding his grandson.
"Hehehe... Still famous, alright!" Zheng-Fu raised his hand to scratch his head with a dry laugh and smiled at the elder.
"Hehe! Come on, old man, don't think too much. What Zheng-Fu said was right. Because we left the martial arts world and have been in solitude, not being involved in it for many years, it's normal that just a small minority of people still know us." The elderly woman laughed warmly as she comforted Elder Yan, who was enraged at Zheng-Fu's words.
"Tsk!!! Later, Kid. I'll get back to you. If it wasn't for my wife's request, then…" Elder Yan said, glaring at Zheng-Fu. But his expression did not look scary at all.
"Yes, yes, yes alright! Elders were famous in the... nowadays. Hehe!!!"
You!!!
Elder Yan lost his posture once more when he was teased by Zheng-Fu again. But he had not thought of doing anything since, throughout the journey to this In-See City, Zheng-Fu had teased him many times until he did not know what words to choose to curse him.
"Zheng-Fu! Don't be disrespectful to the two elders." However, Kong-Shi did not think the same way as Zheng-Fu or the Elder Lady, so he immediately scolded Zheng-Fu.
"You must be this kid's father?" As soon as Kong-Shi finished speaking, Elder Yan immediately walked toward Kong-Shi and asked.
"Ye... yes... yes, Elder Immortal Flute Master!" When Elder Yan asked, Kong-Shi did not hesitate, hurriedly clasped his hands in respect, politely replied, and immediately nodded.
"Ah... You don't have to overthink it with your child and me because I don't care too much about it." Elder Yan stopped speaking and looked at Zheng-Fu slightly before turning back to Kong-Shi and continuing, "You have a good child.
He is both gifted and intelligent, as well as very talkative until the cattle fell asleep," said Elder Yan, with a smile on the corner of his mouth as if he was satisfied with something.
Tsk!!!
"Once you gain the upper hand, you talk too much, Elder!" Zheng-Fu muttered in his throat as soon as he heard what Elder Yan praised him with his father since within the compliment was hidden a little curse, but Zheng-Fu caught up.
"Ah, thank you, Elder, for the compliment. In fact, my son…"
"Father, I'm hungry. Let's get something to eat. I believe the two elders must be hungry as well... Right?" Zheng-Fu hurriedly cut off Kong-Shi immediately. He did not want his father to say anything more and turned to ask the two elders with eyes as if to ask for their opinions, but in fact, it was more of a compulsion.
"Um..."
"Yes, yes! We've traveled a long way to get here. My wife and I are hungry now... Kid, bring me some sun-drenched meat with fine liquor and some fried vegetables for my wife." Although he knew he was being forced, it was not with bad intentions, and he also knew that, so he acted accordingly
"Yes, sir, Elder. I will provide you with the best meat!" Having finished speaking, Zheng-Fu immediately walked towards the kitchen to bring out the high-level monster beast meat for the chef to cook.
After a while, the food made from high-level monster beast meat was finished and served. And as the kitchen door opened, the mouthwatering aroma of food instantly wafted through the first floor. And with such an appetizing smell that made saliva flow into everyone's noses, the sound that was made was definitely the sound of saliva being swallowed down his throat.
Gulp!!!!!!!
"I can't... It smells so good!"
"Hurry up, cook. Hurry up and serve it now!"
Yum!!!!!
"Mmm! So tasty!!!"
Yum!!! Yum!!! Yum!!!
The joyful cries of the Tian-Tang Clan after taking the first bite of the high-level monster beast continued to grow louder. And soon, all the dishes were gone so quickly that everyone had to order more. And a lot of food was brought out uninterruptedly, without seeming to run out at all. Of course, the ingredients Zheng-Fu gave were enough to feed the whole city.
The happy night finally passed. The morning came, and the second round of manoeuver had arrived...
At the Manoeuver Arena, in the area of the Tian-Tang clan...
"There are so many people!" said Elder Yan, excited as if a child had taken a field trip. He remembered that the manoeuver in the old days was not quite this big.
"The reason why a lot of people come here might be the winning prize of this manoeuver, Elder Yan," Mo-Zi said humbly to Elder Yan.
Winning prize!?
"And what is it?" Elder Yan asked again.
"For the winning prize this time, it seems the City Lord announced that the winner of the manoeuver would receive a high-level sword with a hidden spirit and also obtain ten intermediate-level Qi energy stones, as well as another million monster crystal coins, sir.
But what made it the most attractive was an egg of the Frenzy Wind Eagle monster beast, which is the king-rank monster beast of the In-See Tribe. That's all." Kong-Shi added more about the award for this year's manoeuver with humility because, anyway, Tian-Tang Clan would definitely get all of them.
"Other things are already interesting. But this king-rank monster beast egg is the most interesting. Didn't think that the In-See City Lord would have it in his possession!?" The elderly woman, hearing about the prize that the winner would receive this time, found it hard to believe because each of them was extremely valuable.
It was difficult for a small city lord like this to have so many resources.
"Looks like someone is staring at you now!" Suddenly, in Elder Yan and Elder Lady's heads, Zheng-Fu's voice was heard. "Huh...? Oh! Really, this level of energy is...!" As soon as they heard the warning from Zheng-Fu, the two of them hurriedly used their psychics to check. And they both found that someone with an energy level not inferior to theirs was staring at them.
But both of them did not show any gestures to let the other party know they realized they were being watched. They just normally talked to the others as usual. Then the gaze that was staring at them left before Elder Yan sent a sound wave back to Zheng-Fu, "Second level of Immortal Stage martial cultivator?
You are a martial cultivator of the same level as us, but why wasn't I able to sense its existence in the first place?" Elder Yan asked Zheng-Fu suspiciously about how he could not detect the mysterious person in the first place.
"That's because he might be using some kind of magic to hide his energy level. So, we can't touch it. But no matter how he hides it, he can't escape my psychic unless he is one level higher."
Zheng-Fu thoughtlessly replied. In fact, he had been aware of it ever since he entered this city, but he did not care much. And it was not just this mysterious man that he sensed. There were also four other people who he recognized were not in this county.
"Hehehe! The cocky boy likes to talk a lot. I really want to see how witty you are!" Elder Yan replied, displeased with Zheng-Fu's boastful words.
"Alright... if you want to know, after finishing this match, let's exchange some advice." Zheng-Fu sent a sound wave in response with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"You!!!"
"What's going on? Elder Yan!?" Kong-Shi, who was beside Elder Yan, saw his strange expression and asked curiously.
"Ah!! Well... No, nothing. It's just that one fly is flying and disturbing!" Elder Yan replied to Kong-Shi. However, his gaze landed on Zheng-Fu for a moment, then quickly turned around and smiled at Kong-Shi.
"Teasing the old one is really fun. Haha! As for children, the elderly, and pregnant women, I'm bold with them. But who is that black-robed man? Why does his aura of energy look so familiar?" As Zheng-Fu tried to check who the mysterious man was, he could feel the aura of the Qi energy that he was familiar with. But no matter what he thought of it, he could not remember where he had seen it.
Dang!!! (The sound signal to start the race)
Ahem!!!
"Good morning, all spectators. Then comes the moment that everyone has been waiting for: the manoeuver on the second day. In this second round, competitors in all four arenas will be selected from one hundred youths down to only ten from each arena.
And with such a small number, of course, within the clan, there might be some battles amongst themselves to compete for one of the ten positions that will go through to the next round."
Yay!!! Yay!!! Yay!!!
"Go ahead! Let's get it. Let's get it. Horny Bear, let's start the manoeuver!!!"
"Go all out, Most Horny Bear. Take the full form in this round. But if you keep talking too much, you won't be able to talk anymore, Brother Bear!"
The audience cheered and urged the handsome Brother Bear on stage to hurry to announce the start of the manoeuver. They already wanted to watch it now. For this round of the manoeuver, not only would the competitors have to fight with other clans, but they would also have to fight amongst themselves to be amongst the top ten who would advance to the third tier.
"Since everyone is demanding so much like this, I would like to announce that the second round of the manoeuver will begin now!!!"
Dang!!!!!
As soon as the signal sounded, all the competitors in each arena began to fight fiercely. However, the fourth arena remained silent as before. No one thought of moving anywhere. Everyone could only turn to stare at each other. But ten kids stood still, not showing any expression like the others. And these ten kids were Zheng-Fu's Ten Young Demigods Squad.
"There'll be only ten kids left in this battle to get through to the next round, which we also know that we don't have the chance to pass.
But anyway, we don't think we'll give up!" Suddenly, Tian-Qi's voice rang out as a ready gesture, including the four other youths who tightened the area around her, grouping into a group of five, staring at the Ten Young Demigods Squad, who stood still, ignorant of anyone.
