After Mie-Xiang-Qi left for around one shichen and a half, she returned once again in a long purple robe that was beautifully decorated with diamonds and multi-colored gems. This made her look better and more charming. Even Zheng-Fu felt mesmerized when he saw her like this.

Seeing Zheng-Fu stunned as he looked at her, Mie-Xiang-Qi kept a cold expression and did not show any reactions. Before she took Zheng-Fu to join the banquet that night. And when the two of them arrived at the banquet, they turned out to be the stars of the event.

Because Zheng-Fu had a handsome face and his energy level was very high. As for Mie-Xiang-Qi, although she was much older than Zheng-Fu and had already passed her youth, she still looked good and charming like a young woman in her early twenties. As for her energy level, it was not low. Therefore, when the two of them came together like this, many people thought that they were a couple and looked very suitable for each other.

At the same time, clan leaders also came to welcome Zheng-Fu in chaos. Many people tried to praise and flatter Zheng-Fu and gave him various gifts. Zheng-Fu did not reject those words and gifts at all. And he also thanked them.

Several minutes passed before Zheng-Fu could sit at his table. The table set for him already had De-Song-Yang and a group of men sitting, waiting for him. From what Zheng-Fu had guessed, these people would definitely be major clan leaders and high-ranking clan leaders under the Sacred Heavenly Star Divine Sect.

Flap!

"Young Master Zheng-Fu!!!"

The major clan leaders and important people of the Sacred Heavenly Star Divine Sect all stood up to pay respects to Zheng-Fu, even though he was younger than all of them. Because he was such a strong person at the Deity stage, everyone wanted to approach him. Therefore, the rule that said the strong was king always applied.

"You guys don't have to be so formal. Make yourself comfortable." Zheng-Fu smiled at those people before sitting down.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

"We're honored that you have accepted our invitation," the handsome middle-aged man said politely as he sat down. He was one of the people who went to Heavenly Cloud Mountain the other day.

"Yes! We thought you wouldn't come. But since you came, I'd like to represent everyone in drinking for you. I hope you don't mind!" The fat man who had also gone to the mountain stood up and added in a humble tone. Before he raised his tumbler of liquor to drink for Zheng-Fu.

Cheers!

Hah!

"Shouldn't the duty of representing everyone to drink to me belong to Sectmaster De?" Zheng-Fu did not have a good impression of this fat man from the beginning. Therefore, he reprimanded him without consideration.

Ah!

At the end of Zheng-Fu's words, the fat man's expression suddenly turned distorted. He did not expect Zheng-Fu to be so disrespectful. But even though he was dissatisfied, he could only suppress his emotions. And when he saw that Zheng-Fu was not interested in him, he sat down with the tumbler of liquor in hand.

"Come on! Then I'd like to represent everyone in drinking for Young Master Zheng-Fu!" De-Song-Yang saw that the situation was not good. So, he did not hesitate to interrupt so that the banquet could continue.

Cheers!

Cheers!!!

Zheng-Fu smiled at the corner of his mouth after he drank the whole tumbler. He knew that De-Song-Yang must have known what he was thinking. Otherwise, De-Song-Yang would not have intervened.

"Young Master Zheng-Fu, may I ask you again, are you that young genius from the Heavenly Command Sect?" a middle-aged woman sitting at the table asked, looking at Zheng-Fu with a sweet gaze.

"If you think I am, then I am. But if you don't think I am, then I am not! I also don't know if I'm like that because that's what other people call me," Zheng-Fu said with a shrug, not paying any attention to that middle-aged woman. His eyes looked only at Mie-Xiang-Qi.

Hah!

After that woman asked, the others also began to ask Zheng-Fu questions as they wanted to know. But Zheng-Fu only answered some of them. Because some of those questions were so detailed and in-depth that Zheng-Fu could not answer them.

Two shichens passed...

"It's been a long time since I came here. I think it's time for me to go back. See you all later!" After two shichens with nothing but eating, drinking, and answering stupid questions, Zheng-Fu was also bored and thought he should go back. And after saying goodbye and not waiting for anyone to say anything, his figure suddenly disappeared.

Flap!

Ah!!!

Everyone present at the banquet was shocked and speechless. They could only lower their heads and prepare to return as well. After all, the important person at the event was no longer there.

"I have work to do as well. So I'll excuse myself first!" Mie-Xiang-Qi thought that this banquet was very boring. She therefore excused herself as well, leaving De-Song-Yang alone to take care of the guests.

"Wait a minute, Elder Mie!"

De-Song-Yang tried to hold back Mie-Xiang-Qi. But Mie-Xiang-Qi also left, leaving behind only the scent of her dress.

Sigh!

'Why do the two of you have such similar personalities? If you want to go, just go and ignore me!' De-Song-Yang wanted to cry out loud as he was left with those people.

"It's all right, Sectmaster De. Anyway, we've had our hopes fulfilled. Besides, he didn't seem to like this party very much. Just him having the honor of joining is more than enough!" the handsome middle-aged man said encouragingly. He knew that De-Song-Yang was feeling uncomfortable.

Umm!

"Then, for me, this banquet must end for now. I also have to excuse myself." In fact, De-Song-Yang did not have to think too much. Because he was not the host of this banquet. But it was the leaders of major clans and high-ranking clans who joined together. He was just a representative to invite Zheng-Fu to attend the event. So, he stopped thinking too much and asked to leave as well.

"If so, let me walk you away, Sectmaster De!" the middle-aged woman suddenly offered to accompany De-Song-Yang to the exit. And there was a hint of mystery hidden in her expression.

"All right! But I'll go myself after reaching the exit!" De-Song-Yang also knew that this female clan leader had something hidden in her actions. But he still allowed her to walk him away.

"Thank you!"

Flap! Flap!

De-Song-Yang then stood up and walked out, followed closely by the middle-aged woman with a youthful appearance, not paying any attention to anyone else.

"She must definitely use this opportunity to ask Sectmaster something! Damn it! Women are always good at deception. I don't know why her family made her a clan leader instead of her younger brother!" The fat man could not help but curse behind her back in dissatisfaction. Even though he liked women and was very lustful. But he did not like this woman. Because she always conflicted with him.

"Why are you thinking too much!? After all, she couldn't get anything from Sectmaster. Most likely, she could just walk away, and Sectmaster would just leave!" The handsome middle-aged man did not think much of it. He did not care what the middle-aged woman did. What he wanted had already been accomplished. He came here only because he wanted to build a good relationship with Zheng-Fu.

Tch!

"No matter what, I won't give up!" The fat man realized that he could not do anything and thought about leaving the banquet and ignoring the other clan leaders while muttering as he walked away.

Sigh!

The next morning...

After Zheng-Fu returned to Da Clan's mansion, he immediately entered his room to continue cultivating energy. Before time had passed until the morning of the next day, which was the day he had resumed his journey. And on this day, Da-Ye and the people in Da Clan all came out to send him off in unison.

"Thank you, Young Master Zheng-Fu, for taking care of us and restoring dignity to our Da Clan. We'll never forget this grace!" Da-Ye, on behalf of the clan, expressed his heartfelt thanks. He felt that it was Da Clan's good fortune to have met Zheng-Fu. He and everyone in Da Clan would continue to teach and tell their future generations of Zheng-Fu's grace.

"I did what I was supposed to do. And I did it because of mutual benefit. So, you don't have to think of it as a grace. And another thing, I have prepared a present for you all. You can take a look at the guest room where I'm staying. All right! Now it's time to leave. I have to say goodbye for now!"

Zheng-Fu smiled and felt good about Da-Ye's gratitude to him. However, he had sympathy for the Da Clan. Even though he assumed he was doing it in exchange for the benefits he wanted. He also gave Da Clan some high-level Purple Heaven Crystals and martial arts techniques that he had improved to be stronger. Including thousands of third-level and fourth-level energy booster pills. He had left those things at the guesthouse where Da-Ye had let him stay in the first place.

"Thank you, Young Master Zheng-Fu!"

Umm!

"Alright! Let's go, Jin-Tian!"

"Yes, sir, Master!"

When everything was finished, Zheng-Fu and Jin-Tian immediately left Heavenly Cloud City and headed south to find the secret land of the last Monster Deity.

However, not long after Zheng-Fu left the city, he suddenly felt two energy waves secretly following him, leaving a distance of about ten li from him. And he knew who those two were. So, he stopped and spoke loudly, "Elder Sister Mie. If you want to go with me, you can tell me nicely. You don't have to stalk me like this! Or have you fallen in love with me?!"

"What the hell, fallen in love...? Oops!"

When Zheng-Fu shouted out loud, he had set his voice to be heard as far away as Mie-Xiang-Qi and Fei-Yue were, but only Mie-Xiang-Qi could hear. And Mie-Xiang-Qi's reply suddenly sounded. However, she had not finished her words as she realized that she had fallen into Zheng-Fu's trick.

Whoosh!!! Whoosh!!!

Thump! Thump!

"I really didn't think it would be Elder Sister Mie. I just had fun and shouted. But you really replied. You startled me, you know!? By the way, why are you secretly following me?" Zheng-Fu still pretended to be clueless as he asked Mie-Xiang-Qi. He found joy in teasing her and making her angry.

Tch!

"What fun do you have!? If anyone hears this, what will they think? Won't I be damaged? And how can you not let me reply to you? As for the matter of secretly following you, I was actually just going on a journey to gain experience. But it just so happens to be the same route as you!" Mie-Xiang-Qi hurriedly defended herself.

Oh!

"So, where are you going?"

"I… I'll… I'll just keep going on my journey. Just that!"
