Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!

"We’re so familiar with each other, yet you ask me to take my hand away after I just put an arm around your shoulder?" Chen Pingping was indignant. "You should know, I even gave you the material for the Heaven Tao Divine Weapon!"

"..."

He had chopped off only a small piece of the Fusang Tree branch to give to the Fairy.

It was better not to mention this.

The corner of the Fairy’s mouth twitched as she said indifferently, "Because you deceived me, the Fusang Tree branch is compensation."

Chen Pingping asked sheepishly, "Have you found a way to dissolve it yet?"

The Fairy replied, "No!"

Chen Pingping felt a bead of sweat. Truly dull.

With a shrug, Chen Pingping asked again, "What’s the background of that guy?"

"A disciple of the First Court of Fairy Valley, a scholar."

"He doesn’t seem all that impressive."

"Yes! Not impressive."

"He’s been looking at you all this time. Should I teach him a lesson?" Chen Pingping narrowed his eyes.

"That would be acceptable!" the Fairy nodded.

Heh heh! Young man, you’re in big trouble now.

Chen Pingping rolled up his sleeves, ready to teach the scholar a lesson. But unexpectedly, a slight fluctuation of aura that inadvertently leaked from the scholar shocked him.

The Lord Realm!

He froze for a moment, then retraced his steps.

The Fairy asked, "Not going to teach him a lesson?"

Chen Pingping: "..."

Unless it was a battle where he could overwhelmingly crush his opponent, he didn’t want to make a move. A Lord fighting another Lord could potentially expose him. Forget it!

With a smile, Chen Pingping said, "It’s so cold outside, let’s go in and talk!" Saying that, he grabbed the Fairy’s hand and strode into Xuanhe Sect.

The crowd behind them was dumbfounded.

Just now it was an arm around her shoulder, and now he’s directly holding her hand? Oh my goodness!

The scholar cursed under his breath as he followed them inside.

"Brother Chen, wait for me!" Jiang Ni’er said helplessly.

The Fairy did not resist Chen Pingping’s actions. However, once they were inside Xuanhe Sect, she immediately drew her sword.

The icy-cold edge of a three-foot longsword was pressed against Chen Pingping’s neck, killing intention emanating from it...

Startled, Chen Pingping asked with a grave expression, "What do you think you’re doing?"

The Fairy sneered. "You also seem to be called Chen Pingping."

"What do you mean?" Chen Pingping’s heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained unchanged. His eyes widened in feigned anger as he retorted, "There are plenty of people in the world named Chen Pingping. What’s so strange about me being called Chen Pingping?"

"You come from Heaven Martial, and the Chen Pingping from Wuji Sect also comes from Heaven Martial."

"So what?" Chen Pingping was flustered. That damn old hen! he cursed inwardly.

"I’ve divined that people from Wuji Sect will appear here to plunder the heritage of Xuanhe Sect. And you just happen to show up at this exact time," the Fairy stated icily. "Therefore, you are Chen Pingping from Wuji Sect..."

The senior members of Xuanhe Sect who had followed them in, including the scholar, all stared intently at Chen Pingping.

His name is Chen Pingping?

He comes from Heaven Martial?

In an instant, the atmosphere of the entire scene changed.

Chen Pingping continued to quibble, "Calm down, please. Listen to my sophis— Er, no, listen to my explanation! I’m really not the Chen Pingping from Wuji Sect."

The Fairy sneered again.

"Have you ever seen the Chen Pingping from Wuji Sect?" Chen Pingping asked.

"No!"

Good that you haven’t, Chen Pingping thought with relief.

"What did you say?" the Fairy asked, her tone chilling.

"What I mean is, if you’ve never met Chen Pingping from Wuji Sect, how can you be so sure that I’m him?" Chen Pingping said, panicking for a moment that he’d almost let the truth slip.

Thankfully, his quick wits allowed him to smooth it over.

Before the Fairy could respond, he added, "I have a witness." He pointed to Jiang Ni’er, who was standing beside him.

Instantly, all eyes turned to her.

Jiang Ni’er’s crystalline eyelashes fluttered. She looked troubled but still explained, "Yes, Brother Chen is not the Chen Pingping from Wuji Sect."

"To tell you the truth, I also have a score to settle with Chen Pingping from Wuji Sect, a deep-seated hatred..." As he said this, Chen Pingping gritted his teeth, his eyes turning red. "It all started when I was very, very young..."

Yes, very young.

Then, one day, the powerful Chen Pingping of Wuji Sect suddenly descended upon their village, slaughtering all the villagers, including his parents.

Chen Pingping survived by hiding in a dog hole.

Ever since, he’d been training relentlessly for revenge, but Chen Pingping of Wuji Sect was too strong.

He had no choice but to bear the humiliation and bide his time.

One day, Chen Pingping of Wuji Sect ascended to the Nine Heavens, and to avenge his family, he followed.

He learned from an elder that Chen Pingping of Wuji Sect was likely to appear at the Xuanhe Sect, which was why he had hurried over.

Chen Pingping spoke with such fervor that spittle flew, continuing for a good ten minutes. His performance was stirring and poignant.

When he spoke of the death of his fellow villagers, his face filled with sorrow; when he mentioned the slaughter of his parents, his anger was uncontrollable, yet he was powerless, able only to watch them fall in pools of blood.

"I hate it!" Chen Pingping clenched his fists and shouted angrily. "I hate that I’m not strong enough!"

Everyone was moved. This poor child, they thought, his experiences are just too tragic.

However, the Fairy remained unmoved, her expression as cold as ever. "Do you think I’m stupid?"

Chen Pingping looked sheepish.

"You demonstrated strength at least at the Lord Realm when you fought in Soup Valley. So, killing Chen Pingping of Wuji Sect would be as easy as flipping your hand. You wouldn’t have waited until now," the Fairy said icily.

As she spoke, she pressed her longsword further against his neck.

Chen Pingping exclaimed in alarm, "It’s a misunderstanding! Although I possess that kind of strength, my actual cultivation realm isn’t high enough. I can only forcibly elevate my power temporarily. But Chen Pingping of Wuji Sect is a genuine Lord!"

"Isn’t Chen Pingping of Wuji Sect at the Imperial Dao Realm?" The White-Robed Elder frowned.

Damn it! Chen Pingping thought. Which bastard is spouting such nonsense?

Chen Pingping was flustered but continued, "Yes, he is indeed at the Imperial Dao Realm, but his true combat strength is that of a Lord."

"Oh?" The Fairy smiled. "Is there any difference between that and your current state?"

Standing at the Imperial Dao Realm, yet able to unleash the combat strength of a Lord.

What was the difference between this Chen Pingping and the Chen Pingping from Wuji Sect?

In that moment, Chen Pingping’s extraordinary wits were rendered useless. He was astonished to discover that the people of this world seemed to have very detailed information about him!

Chen Pingping cursed inwardly, If I find out who leaked this information, I swear I’ll skin them alive!

"Do you have any other explanations?" The Fairy’s killing intention flared.

"Wait..." Chen Pingping silently wiped away a cold sweat and said, "Chen Pingping of Wuji Sect has several pets. It’s said that wherever he goes, those pets always follow closely behind him."

At this, everyone looked confused.

Chen Pingping froze for a moment, a bad premonition rising in his heart.

No way, this can’t be happening! Had that damned informant not told them that Chen Pingping from Wuji Sect has pets? He had been counting on that to bluff his way through!

The Fairy’s expression grew even colder, an icy menace radiating from her. Her sword quivered as if she would strike him down in the next moment. She asked frigidly, "If you don’t admit it now, I will kill you on the spot."

Chen Pingping felt like he could cough up blood! As if she wouldn’t kill him even if he admitted to being Chen Pingping from Wuji Sect! He’d seen far too many instances of women being fickle, saying one thing and meaning another, and turning hostile in an instant. He absolutely wouldn’t fall for it.

At that moment, the White-Robed Elder spoke, "I believe there’s something fishy about this situation."

Chen Pingping felt a surge of hope. "Yes, exactly! Something is very fishy!"

The White-Robed Elder continued, "If Chen Pingping of Wuji Sect infiltrated Xuanhe Sect, it must be to coordinate with other Wuji Sect experts from both inside and out."

Chen Pingping: "..."
