Chapter 23: Signing Up for the Gym(1)

"Hello, senior," Fang Yuan greeted the boy.

He wasn't much older than Fang Yuan but since his cultivation was higher, he became a senior.

"Since you are such good friends with that Li Haoping bastard, will he become angry if I beat you here?"

Fang Yuan's heart skipped a beat. As expected, the boy had no good motive in approaching him. Li Haoping was the target but since Fang Yuan was a good friend he became a way to the target.

Fang Yuan neither wanted to get beaten nor let his friend get in harm's way, so his mind hurriedly worked for ways to get out of the situation.

His eyes suddenly lightened up when he saw a familiar figure.

"Senior, I have to meet that senior. Please forgive me for my rudeness."

Fang Yuan respectfully stated and then rushed toward the familiar face, but before he could even complete the step, a heavy hand grabbed his shoulder, and he almost stumbled.

Fortunately for Fang Yuan, he had spoken in a loud voice, so the familiar face turned around and also noticed Fang Yuan. He was none other than Shengong Linfang. After completing the purchase of the wood, Shengong Linfang went to buy some high-quality meat to celebrate the news of the high-quality first-grade tree.

He immediately understood the situation, looking at the ugly expression on Fang Yuan's face. Seeing that it was a good opportunity to warm up the relationship with the former, Shengong Linfang didn't waste any time and approached the bus station.

The boy also noticed Shengong Linfang, but he only sneered. He didn't think Fang Yuan would know someone very influential when his friend was Li Haoping.

"Hehe, do you think that guy will save you?"

The boy sneered and immediately pulled back his hand, which jerked Fang Yuan's shoulder, and the latter fell down.

Fang Yuan couldn't help but groan as he crashed to the hard surface with a rough landing. The boy only grinned and was about to kick the fallen, but the stranger had reached him first.

Shengong Linfang easily nullified the boy's force and picked him up effortlessly. With only a simple movement, he could crush the throat of the boy, ending his life.

Fortunately for the boy, there were rules and regulations strictly enforced across the continent, so he was safe from dying a horrible death.

"Don't let it happen a second time," Shengong Linfang said with a smile, and to further show the majesty of his word, he took out the token he received from the Shenhai sect.

The boy's eyes shrank in horror since if he had known earlier, he wouldn't have dared to do anything like that even in his dreams.

"Sorry, senior. Please spare me. It will not happen again."

The boy almost had a crying expression as he pleaded. At the same time, the cloth between his crotch started to turn wet.

Shengong Linfang threw the boy disgustedly and then gave a hand to Fang Yuan to stand up.

Fang Yuan simply sat there, frozen with a wondrous expression. The turnaround happened so quickly.

When he came around, he couldn't help but vow to become stronger. As long as he was strong, no one else would dare bully him or his loved ones.

"Thank you, senior," Fang Yuan sincerely thanked Shengong Linfang.

He didn't want his family to worry about him, so not getting beaten was the best outcome of the situation. As for the favor he owed to Shengong Linfang, Fang Yuan didn't worry much about it. He would pay it back once he became strong, and as long as he had the Broken Pagoda, he would become powerful.

The boy had immediately escaped once he was thrown away. He didn't want to anger the senior from the Shenhai Sect, and he also needed to tell his friends about it.
