"I was right, Chu Nan did just enter the Scripture Pavilion!" said a delighted fat man beside the youth in luxurious clothing, eager to claim credit.

Led by the youth in luxurious clothing, the group quickly approached Chu Nan.

The youth in luxurious clothing looked at him with contempt, arrogantly raised his chin, and coldly asked, "Are you Chu Nan?"

"That's right." Chu Nan slightly frowned, then inquired, "And who might you be?"

Chu Nan could be sure that he had never met this youth in luxurious clothing, and seeing the hostile demeanor, he was momentarily puzzled as to when he might have offended him.

The fat man beside the youth in luxurious clothing bellowed, "How dare you! Not recognizing a genius from the Battle Academy, Young Master Zhang Baitian, are your eyes eaten by dogs?"

Understanding dawned on Chu Nan; so he was dealing with a martial artist from the Zhang family.

First Zhang Baimei, now Zhang Baitian, the strength of the Zhang family in the Cyan Profound Martial Academy, or should one say the Cyan Profound Mansion, is indeed significant.

He looked at the fat man and said, "Whose pig is barking here?"

"You brat, dare you insult me! Believe it or not, I can cripple your cultivation right here!" The fat young man flushed with anger immediately cursed at Chu Nan.

The fat young man had only a cultivation level of the fourth stage of the Yang Wheel, such opponents were not even worth Chu Nan's attention. He said coldly, "I'm talking about pigs, why are you barking like a dog unless you think you're a pig?"

Upon these words, the martial artists behind Zhang Baitian couldn't help but chuckle, and the fat young man, feeling humiliated, stepped forward to teach Chu Nan a lesson.

However, at that moment, Zhang Baitian admonished, "Xie Long, stand back, don't interfere with my affairs!"

Upon hearing Zhang Baitian's rebuke, Xie Long shuddered and promptly stepped back to stand behind him.

Then Zhang Baitian said, "It's you who, with just a worthless piece of paper, wants to make my sister your maid?"

The Zhang family is a large clan equivalent to the Lin family within the Cyan Profound Mansion, and Zhang Baimei, being a direct descendant, is expected to become a maid for an inferior from the Commandery City.

This is something intolerable in the eyes of the lofty Zhang Baitian.

Chu Nan had long guessed their purpose, so he said, "That's correct, the bet was proposed by her, and she lost. According to the agreement, it's only natural for her to be my maid."

A flash of anger crossed Zhang Baitian's face. He didn't care about what Zhang Baimei did, but he could not allow the Zhang family to be humiliated.

Therefore, Zhang Baitian stated, "With a mere worthless piece of paper, you wish to disgrace my Zhang family? You think too highly of your meager talents!"

"Tear up the bet yourself, end all ties with Zhang Baimei, or don't blame me for being ruthless with you."

Killing intent burst from Zhang Baitian's eyes, his words full of coercion.

Chu Nan frowned and then sneered disdainfully, "Zhang Baimei is my maid, a word from you for me to tear up the bet seems too cheap, doesn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Long first showed his displeasure. He stood out and said, "Bastard, just the fact that Senior Brother Zhang is willing to speak with you is already giving you enough face, yet you dare to negotiate terms. It seems you don't want to stay at the Cyan Profound Mansion any longer!"

"Can't reach an agreement? Then forget it..." With that said, Chu Nan was about to leave.

He wasn't bothered about Zhang Baimei, nor was he concerned about canceling the bet, but Chu Nan disliked the other's arrogant attitude.

Just because of a strong family background, they think they can act superior? Chu Nan despises such second-generation heirs who bully others with their power.

Zhang Baitian's expression turned somber, a flicker of killing intent flashed in his eyes, and he once again blocked Chu Nan, asking, "What terms do you want?"

Chu Nan's eyes lit up. The Zhang family is a major clan within the Cyan Profound Mansion, possessing all manner of treasures.

If he could exchange the worthless Zhang Baimei for something valuable, why wouldn't he?

So after a bit of pondering, Chu Nan said, "Zhang Baimei is a martial artist at the third stage of the Yang Wheel and could become a mainstay in your Zhang family in the future."

"I don't want to make things difficult for you. Give me a demon beast corpse at at least the sixth stage of the Yang Wheel, dead no more than three days, and I will restore her freedom."

Chu Nan knew that strength is the hard truth; the best method for cultivating the Desolate Profound Transformation is to absorb the blood essence of powerful demon beasts.

Zhang Baitian himself is a martial artist of the sixth stage of the Yang Wheel; with his strength, slaying a demon beast of the sixth stage would pose no problem. Thus, Chu Nan's request was considered reasonable.

A demon beast at the sixth stage of the Yang Wheel, the Zhang family could easily provide.

But contrary to Chu Nan's expectations, Zhang Baitian frowned, his face turning livid, and said, "Chu Nan, don't be too excessive. How dare you, with your status, to propose such terms to the Zhang family!"

Slaying a demon beast of the sixth stage of the Yang Wheel, not to mention for the Zhang family, even Zhang Baitian himself could handle it with ease.

The condition also seemed effortless to him. However, being able to do it and being willing to do it are different matters. In Zhang Baitian's eyes, a mere Chu Nan from Commandery City had no right to make such demands.

Then Zhang Baitian waved his hand, and the corpse of a demon beast at the first stage of the Yang Wheel fell in front of Chu Nan: "Don't even think about the corpse of a sixth-stage demon beast. Accept this and tear up the bet!"

Chu Nan looked at the corpse Zhang Baitian tossed almost as if granting alms and saw that the corpse was rotting. This was clearly an attempt to humiliate him.

At this moment, Xie Long sneered and said:

"What are you standing there for? Being given a corpse of a demon beast at the first stage of the Yang Wheel is already an honor. You should be kneeling and begging Senior Brother Zhang for forgiveness, then stuffing the bet down your throat!"

Immediately, Zhang Baitian's retainers behind him laughed heartily, not taking Chu Nan seriously at all.

A flash of fierceness crossed Chu Nan's eyes as he lifted the demon beast's corpse with one hand.

Xie Long sneered and said, "That's right, now you know how it is."

But just as he finished speaking, Chu Nan's cold gaze locked onto Xie Long and said, "Since you like to talk so much, why not take it home and hug it for a good chat!"

Then Chu Nan flung the whole demon beast's corpse like a massive boulder towards Xie Long with a loud rumble.

Xie Long, with just a cultivation of the fourth stage of the Yang Wheel, was no match for Chu Nan.

He couldn't even react before his body was crushed beneath the massive demon beast's corpse, the sound of bones shattering echoed, and he lay on the ground wailing ceaselessly.

Zhang Baitian, witnessing this scene, widened his eyes, glaring angrily at Chu Nan, "How dare you make a sneak attack in the Battle Academy, especially assaulting one of my men!"

Chu Nan shrugged and clapped his hands, saying, "Me making a move? Then you're mistaken."

"The condition you proposed, I disagree with, so naturally, I'm just returning the demon beast's corpse to you. I didn't expect your lackey to be so weak, not even able to catch a demon beast."

Casually tossing a few herbs worth one or two gold coins at Zhang Baitian's feet, Chu Nan said, "Forget it, why not, here are some herbs. Take them back to treat his injuries."

"After all, in my view, you are only fit to use herbs of this level."
