"En!" Fang Han nodded his head, and then he took out a golden order badge from his chest pocket, on it was written a 'Fang' character, and handed it over to Ye Feng, "Brother Ye, we are all brothers, so there is no need to say any other words of thanks, this is our Fang Family's order, seeing the order badge is like seeing our family's order, please accept it no matter what, if you need us, in the future, and you are not in a good position, just take this order plate, and we will do our best!"

"Then I won't be unreasonable!" Ye Feng did not hesitate to accept the token, after all, with his current strength, he could get to know more powerful forces, so he could only do his best, and continued, "See you later!"

"See you later!" The three of them clasped their fists.

Ye Feng turned around and left, and quickly rushed towards the Gu family.

When the sky was getting dark, Ye Feng finally came back. Fortunately, his strength had increased a lot, otherwise, it would be very difficult to reach this 100 mile journey in the day.

"This trip will last for three to four days. I wonder if Gu Ling Lung and the others will be suspicious?" As soon as he felt this kind of worry in his heart, the door was knocked, and Gu Ling Lung's moving voice sounded. Immediately, Ye Feng broke out in a cold sweat, it was like he was afraid of something, after all, he had just killed the person who met Gu Ling Lung, and he could not help but be nervous.

Ye Feng thought for a while and then quickly opened the door.

"Eh? Where have you been these past few days? It caused me to be worried to death! " Gu Ling Lung's beautiful face suddenly brightened up, she hastily grabbed Ye Feng's arms and cheered.

"I …" Ye Feng pretended to be sad and said, "These few days I was not in a good mood, so every day …"

"You get up early and come back late? Just to avoid me? " Gu Linglong's pretty face slightly changed.

"Ugh …" Ye Feng did not know how to use an excuse, but he did not expect that Gu Linglong would say it like that, so he followed what she said.

"Did Gu Ling'er shock you with her words that day?" You think you don't deserve me, so you intentionally avoided me, right? " Gu Ling Lung asked in a displeased tone.

Ye Feng quietly nodded his head, but he did not expect that Gu Linglong would help him find an excuse, but thinking about it, even if he disappeared, no one would care about him, only Gu Linglong would notice him.

"Aiya, seriously, you don't care what Gu Ling'er and the others say. In short, I … I'm really sincere to you …" Gu Ling Long's face suddenly turned red. She turned around slightly and said shyly, "I don't care if you're trash or not, I only know that you're good to me!"

"Really?" Ye Feng was startled, he did not expect Gu Linglong to suddenly become so direct, so he took the opportunity to ask, "I am just a good-for-nothing, with your looks and talent, even if you are a young talent from a big sect, you might not be able to match up to me, why would you like me?"

"Do you need a reason to like someone?" Gu Ling Lung suddenly turned around, and looked at Ye Feng with a tender and affectionate look in her eyes and asked.

"You don't need it?" Ye Feng was startled when he was asked about this. In his previous life, he was a person who knew nothing about love. In this life, he was even more confused about love.

"All in all, like is like. There is no need for any reason, it's just a feeling!" Gu Linglong gave Ye Feng a flirtatious look and said, "Forget it, I don't want to talk to you about the wooden fish. I have something important to tell you."

"What business?" Ye Feng asked.

"Gu Haoyu is about to come out." Gu Linglong said.

"Ah?" It's only been half a month, why is he coming out? " Ye Feng asked in surprise.

"I don't know what kind of luck that guy got, but he actually managed to break through into the first stage of Qi Condensation while in confinement. He's eighteen this year, and after a period of time, the Heavenly Sword Palace will send people down to collect the offerings, so my foster father wants him to train more during this period of time to consolidate his cultivation, so he can be recommended to the Heavenly Sword Palace when he hands over his offerings." Gu Linglong said.

The Misty Continent was divided into many regions, and there were a few powerful sects in the region where Luo He City was located. Heavenly Sword Palace was the closest sect to them, and Luo He City, Ye City, and other lands thousands of miles around were all under Heavenly Sword Palace's jurisdiction. Every year, various families had to pay tribute to Heavenly Sword Palace and provide their disciples with resources.

The Heavenly Sword Palace was a huge sect that strictly accepted disciples. Only those who managed to break through into the Refinement Realm before the age of eighteen and had high moral standards could be recommended to the Heavenly Sword Palace for the test. Those who passed the examination could become outer sect disciples first and only after a few years of observation could they become official disciples.

It could be said that as long as one was able to enter Heavenly Sword Palace, not only would they be able to bring glory to their ancestors, they would also have a vast future, and the entire family would be able to receive unparalleled glory and greatly increase their strength. Thus, practically all the families would spare no effort in nurturing such a disciple.

"That guy is really lucky!" Ye Feng said, but in Gu Ling Lung's eyes, she thought that he was afraid.

"Don't worry, Gu Haoyu has only just broken through to the first level of Qi Disciple stage. If he really fights with me, he might not be much stronger than me. I won't let them bully you again!" Gu Linglong said confidently.

"I think that Gu Haoyu will restrain himself because of the lesson last time, so you don't have to worry about me." Ye Feng smiled, if it was in the past, he would definitely not be so opposed to Gu Linglong, but ever since the fierce battle with that mysterious man, he felt that asking Gu Linglong to protect him was no different from letting a sheep into a tiger's den.

Ye Feng and Gu Ling Lung chatted for a while before he used his body's discomfort as a reason to send Gu Ling Lung off. He then closed the door and the window, first taking a hot bath, then having a good night's sleep, he was really tired these days.

Two days later, after Ye Feng had completely refined and absorbed the remaining few metal type spirit cores, the "Golden Spirit Method" was also about to be successfully cultivated. As the level of the method continued to increase, the difficulty of the method also increased.

On this night, just when Ye Feng was doing his best to break through the last barrier of the 'Golden Spirit Art', a shout suddenly came from outside the door, waking Ye Feng up from his cultivation state. He sighed with regret, he was only missing that one layer of paper and was about to have a breakthrough, but was startled by the outside world and had no choice but to stop.

"What happened?" Just as Ye Feng finished his sentence, a black shadow flashed and rushed directly in front of him.

"Hmm?" Ye Feng's eyes congealed, and was about to counterattack, but he saw that the black shadow was being chased by a group of Gu Clan disciples, and Gu Linglong was among them. He forcibly stopped his impulse to attack and could only watch as the black shadow controlled his throat.

"Brother Ye …" Gu Linglong's pretty face changed drastically, and the others also started to panic.

"All of you, stop or I'll kill him immediately!" The black masked man held a sword in one hand, and his other hand was around Ye Feng's neck. He was also carrying a big bag on his back.

"This voice is so familiar!" Ye Feng did not panic. With a man's skill, he should be at the sixth level of the Pulse Condensation period, and even if Ye Feng did not enter a crazy state, he would soon break through to the fifth level of the 'Five Spiritual Body Arts'.

"Little thief, you don't even get to see our target clearly when you catch him. Ye Feng is famous for being trash in our Gu family, and you have no means to protect him!"

"Hahaha, that's right. If you know what's good for you, then let him go. We can't possibly disregard all those spirit stones and magic treasures just for a piece of trash!"

"Quickly hand over the bag in your hands, or we might spare your life!"

Several people suddenly rushed out from the crowd and surrounded the man in black. From the looks of it, they were not worried about Ye Feng's life or death.

"Damn it!" Why did I capture you, a trash! " Hearing this, the black-clothed man clenched his teeth in anger, and fiercely pinched Ye Feng's neck to scare him, "Quickly beg for their mercy, otherwise, I will strangle you to death!"

"Stop! "Brother Ye …" Gu Ling Lung immediately shouted in panic, "Brother Ye is still in that guy's hands, don't do anything reckless!"

"Right, don't act recklessly. Get out of the way, or else I will kill him immediately!" The black clothed man roared like a drowning person grabbing onto a lifesaving grass.

"We can't get out of the way!" One of the disciples yelled, "That bastard stole the offerings from Heavenly Sword Palace! If he gets away, we won't be able to report back to Heavenly Sword Palace!"

"That's right, Ye Feng's life is not as precious as so many offerings!"

"Not to mention Ye Feng, even we, who are the true disciples of the main branch, cannot compare to this many offerings. Do you know how serious the consequences will be if we do not hand over the offerings on time?"

The rest of the people chimed in.

"I only know that it was a human life. We can still go look for the offerings. If anything happens to Brother Ye, do you guys feel good about it?" Gu Linglong argued.

"It's just a piece of trash, what's the big deal."

"His life in this world is suffering. If he can die because of this matter, it can be considered a worthy death!"

"Everyone, be careful. Don't let that guy escape. Prepare to attack!"

A lot of people answered, at this moment, Ye Feng truly saw the coldness of human nature, seeing how low his status in the Gu family was, no matter what reason Gu Linglong was trying to protect him, it made him feel gratified.

Ye Feng is a companion of yours who grew up with you. Don't forget that he is the foster son of the Great Elder, and even though he has lived with a dog for so many years, he should still have some feelings for him. That black-clothed man roared, he raised his sword and fiercely slashed at Ye Feng's thigh, and suddenly, a bloody wound appeared.

"Hiss!" Ye Feng was in so much pain that he sucked in a mouthful of cold air. However, his tough character was still something he could endure. He wanted to see whether this group of people would really care about his life for those offerings.
