Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Umm!

"That's how it is... Hah! What did you say!?"

Ma-Yuan-Tian immediately jumped up from his seat when he heard that. He didn't think that this weak and non-energy young man would be involved in the Great Deity Stage cultivator's energy level promotion incident.

"You heard correctly. I was involved in that incident!" Zheng-Fu reiterated his answer to confirm that Ma-Yuan-Tian did not hear it wrong.

Flap! Flap!

As soon as Zheng-Fu finished speaking, two men in black robes appeared from the shadows and stood on Zheng-Fu's left and right sides. At the same time, they unleashed the Great Deity Stage energy waves as Zheng-Fu ordered.

Ah!

When Ma-Yuan-Tian saw that, he was stunned and even more confused. He was originally sure that Zheng-Fu was just an ordinary person, but now Zheng-Fu had two Great Deity Stage cultivators as guardians. Moreover, the two guardians seemed to be stronger than him, even though they were at the initial Great Deity Stage.

"I know you have many questions you want to ask me, but let me ask Master Ma first. Did you come here to capture someone or just investigate?" Zheng-Fu knew that Ma-Yuan-Tian had many doubts about him, but first, he wanted to know what purpose Ma-Yuan-Tian had come there.

"I was assigned to investigate the energy wave fluctuation that occurred just now, and I did not come to capture anyone," Ma-Yuan-Tian quickly regained his senses and answered Zheng-Fu's question with a serious expression.

"Now that you know what happened, what are you going to do next?" Zheng-Fu continued to ask questions with an unfathomable smile.

"That depends on your answer, ...who exactly are you?" Ma-Yuan-Tian felt that this young man looked very different. He was nothing like when they first met. The person in front of him now was calm, cold, and mysterious, as if he were not the same person who was in prison.

"I'm me. You don't need to know where I come from. Just know that Miss Su and I know each other well and are close!" Zheng-Fu knew that his answer was not very good, and it would make Ma-Yuan-Tian dissatisfied with him, but he still chose to answer like that. Because he did not want Ma-Yuan-Tian to interfere with him.

Umm...

"Well, I understood. Then I'll take my people back. But if you do anything that violates the rules of this city even a little bit, ... we'll definitely have a longer talk!"

Ma-Yuan-Tian clearly understood what Zheng-Fu meant. It wasn't that he was not afraid of Zheng-Fu's guardians to the point of not wanting to investigate the truth, but because he knew that this young man did not have any malicious or dangerous intentions.

"If that's the case, then I'll gladly do it, Division Head Ma!" Zheng-Fu replied with a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth. If Ma-Yuan-Tian really chose not to give in and stubbornly wanted to investigate his background, he would not just sit back and would order his two clone figures to deal with Ma-Yuan-Tian and his subordinates.

However, Ma-Yuan-Tian took a step back, so Zheng-Fu did not need to play hardball.

"Then I'll see you..."

"Su-Ying-Er, didn't you say you were going to follow me to watch the forging of the Deity Weapon? Let your underling see them off. You don't have to go yourself," Zheng-Fu interrupted before Su-Ying-Er could finish.

Hah!

Su-Ying-Er could only stand there in shock. She did not understand why Zheng-Fu would say that, since he had not let anyone with him in the smithy before.

"Miss Su, you go with him. We can go back by ourselves. Next time, I'll come apologize to you for coming here without prior notice this time!" Ma-Yuan-Tian should have been angry, but he was not. He smiled with satisfaction as if what Zheng-Fu said was right.

"Don't say that, Division Head Ma! Actually, it should be me who welcomes you all so well. I really apologize to you!" Su-Ying-Er did not know what to do. All she could do was play along with Zheng-Fu's lines and answer Ma-Yuan-Tian as best as she could.

"Forget it! Then I'll take my leave!"

Everyone, go back!

After bidding farewell to the owner of the place, Ma-Yuan-Tian ordered his subordinates on the periphery to withdraw and all go back.

A few minutes later...

"Zheng-Fu, why did you say that to Division Head Ma? Aren't you afraid of angering him? You also know he's a member of Ma Clan, one of the six major clans of the city. If he..."

"He definitely won't be angry with me. Don't worry." Zheng-Fu was sure that Ma-Yuan-Tian would not be angry with him. He believed that Ma-Yuan-Tian knew as well as he did that if the two of them got too close, the one who would be affected or have problems would be Ma-Yuan-Tian himself. And Zheng-Fu did that to avoid any trouble.

Hah!?

"Why do you look so confident? What secret do you have..., tell me!" Su-Ying-Er felt that Zheng-Fu had not told her the whole truth. And she wanted to know what Zheng-Fu was hiding.

"You'll find out soon. Now that there's nothing, I'll go back to the smithy!" Anyway, Zheng-Fu did not tell the truth because he wanted to tease Su-Ying-Er. After he finished speaking, he immediately walked away without waiting for Su-Ying-Er to respond.

And then time passed until that night's banquet had begun. The venue was the Demon's Hill City Governor's Residence. It was a grand banquet that invited all the powerful and influential people in Demon's Hill City to attend.

Clip-clop! Clip-clop!

"There are many important and powerful people gathering at the banquet tonight, and you're a Su Clan member who has some power. Why don't you go with them?"

Zheng-Fu had already studied the data of the various clans in Demon's Hill City from Su-Ying-Er's introduction. That made him know that the Su-Clan was a mid-level clan that was considered to have some power, although not much. And few clans dared to mess with them.

"It's because I don't want to be with them. I'll withdraw from the clan today. So, I... ask you to come with me!"

Of course, that was Su-Ying-Er's purpose. And she had already said it in front of Zheng-Fu, but he did not pay any attention and could not remember it. But that did not matter. She was willing to say it again and again until Zheng-Fu remembered what she said.

"Are you sure you want to withdraw from your clan? Because if you withdraw, Heavenly Treasure Clouds Hall might be in danger." Zheng-Fu only frowned slightly before asking Su-Ying-Er back seriously.

I... I...

In fact, Su-Ying-Er was also worried about that matter. Because her power was not comparable to Su Clan. If she left the clan at that time, even if Su Clan did not move, the other clans would definitely not let her store go.

Hmm!

"Well! I'll help you as much as I can. But if it's too much, I suggest you abandon your store and start a new one!" Zheng-Fu knew that it was very difficult to accept that matter. However, he did not want to interfere too much. So, he suggested an alternative for her, even though it was the last option that no one would choose if it were not necessary.

Umm...

A few minutes later...

Neigh! Neigh! Neigh!

"We're here at City Governor Residence, sir, Young Miss!"

Soon after, the carriage arrived in front of the City Governor's residence, and the guards immediately ran over to greet them. Because that carriage had the emblems of Heavenly Treasure Clouds Hall and Su Clan on it.

Normally, ordinary people could not enter unless they had an invitation card. But for major clans and famous clans, just having the clan's emblem was enough.

"Don't think too much. Let's go inside!"

Umm!

After the carriage entered the courtyard area within the City Governor's residence, Su-Ying-Er and Zheng-Fu got off the carriage and walked into the event, with the waiter that the City Governor had arranged to lead them to their seats.

"Isn't that Miss Su from Heavenly Treasure Clouds Hall?"

Umm!

"Then who's the man next to her? Isn't she engaged to the Young Master from Hong-Sen Clan?"

"This is a big deal! I heard that the Hong-Sen Clan is about to become the seventh major clan in Demon's Hill City. They won't let themselves lose face!"

That's right!

"I can't wait to see what happens next!"

When people saw Su-Ying-Er coming with Zheng-Fu, gossip immediately started. Because many people there knew Heavenly Treasure Clouds Hall well, although it was not that great, it was famous for its rare antiques from the ancient ruins, which were of the highest quality in the city and the surrounding cities.

But they were more interested in the young man who came with Su-Ying-Er. Everyone knew that the Su Clan wanted to strengthen their relationship with the Hong Sen Clan, which was about to become the city's seventh major clan, so they had agreed to marry Su Ying Er to the Hong Sen Clan's Third Young Master, regardless of whether Su Ying Er agreed.

"It seems that you're quite popular, right? Look! Everyone is talking about you." Zheng Fu wanted to make Su Ying Er feel better, so he teased her.

You!

Zheng Fu's words made Su Ying Er feel much better. She was no longer stiff and relaxed a lot. As her mood improved, her previously pale face slowly returned to its usual bright and lovely state.

Zheng Fu and Su Ying Er's intimate actions and gestures made people pay more attention to them and talk about them even more. Especially those who were dissatisfied with the Hong-Sen Clan, they did not hesitate to take that opportunity to slander and destroy the Hong-Sen Clan's reputation immediately.

Apart from those people, other groups were also interested in Zheng-Fu. They all quickly sent people to investigate Zheng-Fu's background out of curiosity. Since this young man had the two initial Great Deity Stage cultivators as his followers, he naturally caught the attention of the powerful people.
