Zhang Yilin rolled his eyes. "Do you want me to give it to you?"
Tang Junsheng spread his hands. "No, I don't have the time to manage this mess. You should have your brat manage it."
Zhang Yilin was speechless. "The Yan Shu Sect was founded by both of us. Don't you feel any sense of cherish for it?"
Tang Junsheng shook his head. "No."
Zhang Yilin was completely exasperated with Tang Junsheng and teased him, "Shorty!"
"Oh, you're asking for it, aren't you? How dare you mention those three words." Tang Junsheng rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight.
Zhang Yilin quickly begged for mercy. "No, no, no. I can't beat you right now."
Tang Junsheng sighed and shook his head helplessly. How could he still be like a child at his age?
"By the way, help me find something out," Tang Junsheng suddenly said.
Zhang Yilin nodded. "What is it?"
Tang Junsheng spoke. "Help me find out about Yu Shuntian!"
Zhang Yilin frowned slightly. "Elder Yu? He's a super expert from the previous generation, still holding the fifth position on the Black List, unshakable. Why are you asking about him?"
Tang Junsheng recounted the night he met Yu Shuntian and Qiangzi.
Zhang Yilin pondered after listening. "Elder Yu hasn't shown himself for many years. Why would he come to this Fengtian Conference?"
Tang Junsheng offered his guess. "Do you think Yu Shuntian might have a relationship with Yu Daochen?"
Zhang Yilin shook his head and denied it. "Impossible. As far as I know, Yu Shuntian is not married, so he can't possibly have any offspring."
After speaking, Zhang Yilin shook his head again. "But then again, it's not impossible. Given Elder Yu's status and strength, hiding his offspring isn't entirely out of the question."
"If Yu Daochen is indeed Elder Yu's descendant, then..." Zhang Yilin trailed off.
Yu Daochen's strength was evident to all. If he also had Yu Shuntian backing him, within five years, a super family would emerge that could stand on equal footing with the major sects in the martial world.
"It doesn't matter. Even if it's true, Yu Daochen won't be able to cause any major trouble," Tang Junsheng said with a faint smile.
Zhang Yilin nodded. "I'll investigate this matter as soon as possible."
Outside the Daohua Xiang Inn, Yu Daochen and Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at the deserted road, feeling a bit lost.
"Um, should I call Ma Danna to pick us up?" Yu Daochen tentatively asked.
Before he could finish, Zhang Xiaoqiang interrupted him. "I think we should just walk back. It's only a five or six-hour journey, and I, Zhang Xiaoqiang, can still walk it."
Yu Daochen looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang's nervous expression and shook his head helplessly.
It seemed Ma Danna's driving had left a deep impression on Qiangzi.
Suddenly, Yu Daochen's expression turned serious, and he turned to look at the dark corner ahead. "I think we might not be able to go back for now."
Zhang Xiaoqiang also sensed something was wrong and immediately drew the copper coin sword from his waist. "Yo, you're hiding well. Even I didn't notice you. The opponent looks like a master."
"Buddy, stop hiding and show yourself. Come on out and give us your name," Zhang Xiaoqiang said, gripping the copper coin sword tightly as he looked at the dark corner.
Yu Daochen instinctively reached for the Kanglong Mace at his lower back.
If the other party had hostile intentions, he and Qiangzi could definitely handle them.
From the dark corner, a figure slowly emerged.
Zhang Xiaoqiang was ready to fight, but when he saw who it was, he was stunned. "Lu Ping?"
Yu Daochen was also a bit surprised. He had expected an enemy, but he hadn't expected it to be the young man Qiangzi brought along.
"Why aren't you sleeping in the hotel for tomorrow's competition? What are you following me for?" Zhang Xiaoqiang asked, looking confused.
The small car that had been following them earlier must have been Lu Ping.
Lu Ping didn't hide anything. "The Sect Leader instructed me to protect Elder Zhang. I saw you leaving, so I followed."
Yu Daochen looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang beside him.
Zhang Xiaoqiang shook his head, his expression completely bewildered.
He hadn't heard any instructions from the Sect Leader. When he left, he only heard Tang Junsheng tell him to keep Lu Ping with him, but he hadn't received any orders for Lu Ping to protect him.
"But it's good that you followed. At least we don't have to walk back," Zhang Xiaoqiang said, preparing to follow Lu Ping to where he had parked.
"Wait a moment."
Yu Daochen suddenly called out to the two who were about to move.
Zhang Xiaoqiang turned and looked at Yu Daochen with confusion. "What's wrong, Master Yu?"
Yu Daochen shook his head and asked an unrelated question. "Lu Ping, have you met your Sect Leader?"
Although Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't know what Yu Daochen was trying to do, he turned to look at Lu Ping beside him.
Lu Ping shook his head. "No. Ever since I joined the Yan Shu Sect, I haven't seen what the Sect Leader looks like."
Yu Daochen nodded. "I see. It's nothing. Let's go."
Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't ask Yu Daochen why he asked that and followed Lu Ping to where he had parked.
Lu Ping's parking spot wasn't far. The three got into the car. Zhang Xiaoqiang sat in the passenger seat and instinctively fastened his seatbelt, his hand gripping the armrest.
