Chapter 11

Zi Chen looked in the direction of the voice and saw an old man in sackcloth looking at him.

"Steward Zhang."

Zi Chen recognized the old man. He was the steward here. His surname was Zhang and he was very easy-going. Although his position was not as high as the inner disciples, it was higher than the outer disciples.

Some of the disciples who went out would come here to collect some things.

The old man quickly walked over and whispered to Zi Chen, "Where have you been all this time? You actually disappeared for a few months."

"I went out to train for a period of time. I didn't bring back these things." Zi Chen took out many animal skins from the bag on his back.

"You have to be careful. Recently, Wang Meng has been looking for you and Zhao Can. Oh right, you are back. Why didn't Zhao Can come back?" Steward Zhang took the animal skins and whispered.

Although he was not very talented and was old, Steward Zhang was very kind. His words were full of concern.

Zi Chen smiled faintly and said, "Zhao Can is dead."

He said it casually, as if the person who died was a cat or a dog, and not his good brother.

Steward Zhang was old and shrewd. He glanced at Zi Chen and patted him on the shoulder.

Zi Chen, who was always kind, was actually so calm when talking about his brother's death. Steward Zhang obviously saw something.

"You have to be careful. I think they are not here with good intentions." Steward Zhang said this and left with Zi Chen's bag.

At this moment, two youths walked in from outside. When one of them saw Zi Chen, he said in a strange tone, "Oh, isn't this Zi Chen? I haven't seen you for a few months. You are still alive?"

"What's the matter?" Zi Chen turned around and looked at the two of them calmly.

"Hmph, what can we do for you? We are not from the same world as you. It is Brother Meng who is looking for you. I really don't know what kind of luck you have to make Brother Meng so concerned about you." The other youth curled his lips.

Of the two people in front of him, the taller one was called Fu Jie, and the shorter one was called Chi Ming. Just as the two of them had said, they had no prior contact with Zi Chen.

This was because they were all following Wang Meng, and Wang Meng was Wang Xiong's younger brother. They had never interacted with each other before, but now that they had come into contact with each other, it was obvious that it was because of the 055 year old Snow Ginseng.

"Let's go."

Seeing that Zi Chen did not move, Fu Jie's voice became much sharper.

"Where are we going?" Zi Chen looked at Fu Jie.

"Of course I'm looking for Brother Meng."

Fu Jie said impatiently, "I really don't know what kind of luck you have. What kind of dog shit did you step on to make Brother Meng look for you by name?"

"I don't know where I stepped on a pile of dog poop, but I know that the dog poop that the two of you stepped on must have come from Wang Meng's front door. Moreover, it is as smelly as your mouths." Zi Chen coldly glanced at the two of them and said mockingly.

After he finished speaking, he ignored the two of them and left.

"Hold it right there."

After being ridiculed by Zi Chen, the two of them turned extremely ugly. Fu Jie's body flashed and blocked in front of Zi Chen.

At the same time, Chi Ming also followed closely behind. True Energy was emitted from his body as he coldly glanced at Zi Chen.

"True Energy Level Five?" Zi Chen looked at the two of them and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"That's right, True Energy Level Five. You'll definitely enter the inner sect. Kid, I'm sure you know the difference between the inner sect and outer sect.

If you offend us, you won't even know how you died. "Fu Jie sneered with an arrogant look on his face.

As more and more people arrived, they naturally noticed this scene. When they heard Fu Jie's words, their eyes were filled with envy.

"This Zi Chen actually offended Senior Brother Fu Jie. He's really courting death."

"That's right. Senior Brother Fu Jie and Senior Brother Chi Ming are both going to become inner sect disciples."

Some people even mocked Zi Chen from afar to curry favor with Fu Jie and Chi Ming.

"Haha, Zi Chen, I'll give you a chance to kneel down and apologize. After that, follow us to find Brother Meng obediently." Hearing the voices around him, Chi Ming laughed even louder. His expression was extremely arrogant.

To an outer sect disciple, entering the inner sect was their greatest wish. Being an inner sect disciple was also a high and mighty position.

Many people who came to join in the fun had pity in their eyes. Offending Fu Jie and Chi Ming was equivalent to offending Wang Meng. Offending Wang Meng was equivalent to offending Wang Xiong. Zi Chen's path was almost cut off. Even if he entered the inner sect, it wouldn't be easy.

"That's right. Kneel down and apologize. After that, tell everyone who's the real dogsh * t." Fu Jie sneered.

"Idiot."

Zi Chen couldn't be bothered with the two of them. He looked at them as if they were idiots and said disdainfully, "Kneel down and apologize? Who do you think you are? Trash."

The surrounding crowd was dumbfounded.

Under such circumstances, Zi Chen had many choices. He could either apologize, be tough, or remain silent. However, they never expected that Zi Chen would retaliate with such vicious words. Furthermore, he retaliated so thoroughly.

He directly said that the two of them were worthless.

"You!"

Zi Chen's reaction was naturally out of their expectations. At this moment, the arrogance on their faces disappeared and was replaced by anger. Extreme anger and a murderous intent. The aura of True Energy Level Five locked onto Zi Chen. It was obvious that they were about to attack.

"Why? Do you still want to attack me? I'll give you some guts. Let's see if you dare." Zi Chen said coldly.

In the Nimbus Martial Ancestor, fighting was prohibited. Outer sect disciples didn't even have the right to participate in the battle. Even if there was a big conflict, it couldn't be fought within the sect.

Although Fu Jie and Chi Ming were both at True Energy Level Five and could definitely enter the inner sect, they hadn't participated in the assessment and were only outer sect disciples.

Therefore, the two of them were furious and their eyes were spitting fire. However, they couldn't do anything to Zi Chen.

Thus, Zi Chen strode away confidently.

The farce ended just like that. Fu Jie and Chi Ming had suffered a setback and were burning with anger. However, no one came forward to curry favor with them.

"Hmph, wait and see."

The two of them snorted and left after saying some harsh words.

Zi Chen returned to his own house. There were two rooms in his house. Although they weren't big, they were relatively well-equipped. There were tables, chairs, benches, and beds.

Zi Chen's house was next to Zhao Can's house. In the past, because the two of them were close brothers, they tried to find a way to live next to each other. Unfortunately, when he thought of Zhao Can again, Zi Chen's face was calm, but his heart was cold.

"Zi Chen, get out here."

Not long after Zi Chen returned to his house, an angry shout came from outside. Zi Chen wasn't familiar with this voice before, but now he knew that it was Fu Jie's voice.

Fu Jie came with a fierce momentum and was very arrogant.

When Zi Chen walked out of the house, he realized that it wasn't two people, but three.

Besides Fu Jie and Chi Ming, there was an even younger looking youth. Looking at this person's age, he seemed to be younger than Zi Chen.

"Wang Meng."

Zi Chen naturally knew who this person was. He was Wang Xiong's younger brother. For Wang Meng, Wang Xiong had come to the outer sect many times. In the past, Zi Chen had seen him from afar, but they had never interacted.

At that time, Wang Meng was high and mighty, and Zi Chen was just a passer-by.

"Why aren't you obediently coming over when you see Big Brother Wang Meng?" Seeing that Zi Chen stopped at the door, Chi Ming couldn't help but shout.

"What's the matter?" Zi Chen was still indifferent.

Because of Zhao Can's betrayal, these people who had never interacted with him before came looking for him and kept finding trouble with him.

After surviving that disaster, Zi Chen was no longer an ordinary person. He didn't care about simple Stage Five True Qi cultivators.

"So you are Zi Chen. You have quite the character." Wang Meng's lips curled into a faint smile. Under his childish expression, there was a mature and steady tone.

Zi Chen didn't speak, waiting for the other party to continue.

Wang Meng didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I think you know why I am here. It is for that 055 year old Snow Ginseng."

After saying this, Wang Meng stared at Zi Chen.

"Snow Ginseng? What Snow Ginseng?" Zi Chen played dumb.

The indifferent expression disappeared, and Wang Meng's eyes were filled with anger. After all, he was just a youth. He wasn't shrewd enough and was easily angered. "Are you playing dumb with me?"

"I don't know what you are talking about." Zi Chen said indifferently.

"Hehe, good, very good. You will soon know what I am talking about." Wang Meng sneered, then turned around and left.

The Nimbus Martial Ancestor had its own rules. Perhaps the inner court disciples didn't need to follow them, but the outer court disciples had to. Even Wang Meng couldn't. Therefore, he left because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to control himself and attack Zi Chen. Even though he could settle this matter later, it wasn't worth it for a single Zi Chen.

Therefore, he left.

"Teach him a lesson." Before leaving, Wang Meng said indifferently.

"Okay, no problem." The two nodded, excitement in their eyes.

…

The next morning, when Zi Chen walked out of his room, he smelled a foul stench. Immediately after, Zi Chen retracted his foot as fast as lightning.

Because in front of his door, there was a yellow thing that emitted a strong stench.

"Poof!" "Poof!"

At the same time, Zi Chen heard the sound of water splashing. Looking in the direction of the sound, Zi Chen saw a green clothed disciple wearing a mask at the side of the room. He was using a gourd to scoop out some feces yellow liquid from a wooden barrel and splashing it on Zi Chen's room.

Because the contents of the wooden barrel were too smelly, every time the green clothed disciple splashed the liquid, he frowned and his Adam's apple moved, as if he was having difficulty swallowing.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Zi Chen shouted at the green clothed disciple. At the same time, he was about to go forward and teach him a lesson.

Who would have thought that his sudden roar would give the other party a big fright. His hand accidentally shook, and his feces and urine accidentally leaked out, staining his wrist and sleeves. Immediately, the other party had a feeling of wanting to vomit.

"What are you doing?"

Zi Chen shouted angrily again as he carefully walked out of the room.

The green clothed disciple was very flustered. He resisted the urge to vomit. When he saw Zi Chen coming, he quickly scooped up some liquid from the wooden barrel. The gourd filled with liquid shook again, and in an instant, a scoop of feces and urine flew in an arc towards Zi Chen.

After that, the green clothed disciple threw down the wooden barrel and the gourd and flew into the distance.

The wooden barrel spun a few times and then flipped over. Everything inside poured out, and immediately, an even more pungent smell wafted out.
