Chapter 3257

Wu Feng was reminding himself to be honest; times were different now, and one careless move could offend someone. By then, let alone absorbing the power in the land of opportunity, he would lose his own life here, and to be killed by a Qi Refining stage cultivator would be too shameful.

However, after arriving at the Three Caves Temple, Wu Feng still couldn't help it, simply because when he and Sima Rui went to say they were here to apply as disciples, that arrogant clerk told them they hadn't paid the registration fee.

Sima Rui was weakly defending himself there, but he was scolded by the clerk until he couldn't even lift his head, and could only lower his head and shed tears.

And as for Wu Feng, although he didn't say a word, he really found it hard to endure these things.

After all, the registration fee had definitely been paid; both he and Sima Rui were certain of it.

That clerk, it seemed, was just acting in bad faith, wanting to extract benefits from the two of them.

After all, Wu Feng and Sima Rui were young, and they had come down from that very inferior carriage; it was very obvious that they were small characters without any background, easy to bully.

Although the clerk's status was not high, he was still a person belonging to the cultivation sect, the Three Caves Temple, and his status was far higher than that of Wu Feng and Sima Rui.

"Please, we really have no money left. We have already paid the registration fee; please let us in."

"No, you didn't pay. I don't have it here. Wu Feng, and your name, Sima Rui, are both on it, aren't they? Look, see for yourself, is it there?"

That clerk was putting on all sorts of airs toward the weak Sima Rui, making Wu Feng feel a surge of anger in his heart; he even wanted to take action.

However, Wu Feng ultimately did not take action.

Wu Feng's cultivation was restricted, but his observational skills were not constrained, and he clearly sensed that this bastard clerk's cultivation was close to the Foundation Establishment stage.

In the past, Wu Feng's underling's underling might not have even looked at such cultivation, but now, Wu Feng could only be treated this way by such a person.

Wu Feng suppressed his emotions, thinking of a way to handle the situation at hand.

Wu Feng's eyes drifted to someone nearby.

This person looked about the same age as Wu Feng and Sima Rui, with an extremely handsome appearance and a very kind demeanor.

This person seemed to have some background; the clerk only took one look at the roster and let this person in, with a very good attitude.

Thus, Wu Feng went over and blocked this person's path.

Wu Feng cupped his hands toward this person and said, "I am Wu Feng; may I ask for this young master's honorable name?"

This person also smiled politely, cupped his hands, and said, "I am Zhou Cang. Little brother, there is no need to be so polite. May I ask what business you have with me?"

Wu Feng lowered his voice and explained their predicament.

Zhou Cang smiled, took a few spirit stones out of his pocket, handed them to the clerk, and whispered a few words.

The clerk nodded repeatedly, then came over and said to Wu Feng and Sima Rui, "You two are lucky. In the future, you must listen well to Young Master Zhou; otherwise, I won't let you off, understand?"

Upon hearing this, Sima Rui stared blankly at Zhou Cang, not even knowing what to say.

And Wu Feng just nodded at the clerk without speaking.

Although the clerk was dissatisfied, he still let Wu Feng and Sima Rui in.

The three of them walked side by side.
