Chapter 32

"Brother-in-law, you call that 'a little friction'?"

Bai Chengliang's eyes widened as he spoke.

When they were chatting earlier, he had learned about the grudge between Yang Yu and Fu Qinghuan.

That was far more than a little friction; it was a life-and-death, irreconcilable enmity!

"What exactly happened between him and the Saintess?" Li Wei was even more curious.

Bai Chengliang looked at Yang Yu: "Brother-in-law, can I say it?"

Yang Yu nodded and said: "It's fine, a maid is not an outsider."

Li Wei said gloomily: "I thank you, Young Master."

Only then did Bai Chengliang say to Li Wei: "Before my brother-in-law came to Ning City, Fu Qinghuan forced him to kneel and broke his hands and feet... If my sister hadn't come to the rescue, my brother-in-law would probably have been smashed to pieces at that time."

"To save me, Bai Zhi was also seriously injured," Yang Yu said in a deep voice. "This debt will be settled sooner or later."

Li Wei said with a pounding heart: "You actually ended up in such a state with the Saintess? But wanting to settle the score with her is too difficult. Do you know what cultivation the Saintess has?"

"What cultivation?" Yang Yu said.

Li Wei took a deep breath and said: "King Realm."

"Coming to play with Daji?" Yang Yu blurted out.

"What?" Li Wei was bewildered.

Yang Yu: "Nothing, a reflex."

Li Wei: "Inexplicable... How can you be so calm after hearing her realm? She is at the King Realm; how easy is it to seek revenge on her?"

Bai Chengliang was also startled and said: "Fu Qinghuan is at the King Realm? Are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure; my master and I have had contact with her. I couldn't see through her, but my master could..." Li Wei sighed.

She was a very proud person and never submitted to other geniuses.

But when facing Fu Qinghuan, she genuinely felt inferior. It seemed that no matter how hard she tried, it was impossible to compare to the Saintess.

"King Realm, it didn't disappoint me."

Yang Yu exclaimed.

A few days ago, Bai Zhi had used the power of a Treasure Tool and, at the cost of serious injury, managed to block two moves from Fu Qinghuan.

Afterward, Bai Zhi had guessed that the Saintess was at least at the ninth layer of the Spirit Sea Realm, perhaps higher.

And above the Spirit Sea Realm was the King Realm.

But logically speaking, the possibility of reaching the King Realm at such a young age was not high.

Theoretically, martial artists have a total of seven major realms.

Body Tempering, Opening Meridians, Mysterious Transformation, Spirit Sea, King Realm, Saint Realm, Emperor Realm.

People talk about the first four realms quite a bit.

But realms beyond that are rarely mentioned because they are too difficult to reach.

The King Realm is also called Martial King.

Such experts certainly exist, but most are old seniors who have worked hard for half a lifetime to reach it.

How old is Fu Qinghuan?

She's not even twenty yet.

For martial artists in this age group, being able to reach Opening Meridians is actually considered very excellent.

Looking at the entire continent, most common people find even Body Tempering to be a luxury. In many small places, the Opening Pulse Realm is basically enough to walk sideways.

If one can reach the Mysterious Transformation Realm at twenty, they are either exceptionally gifted or have enjoyed excellent resources.

For example, Bai Chengliang; although his talent is far inferior to Bai Zhi's, he was born well and, relying on family resources, was able to reach the third layer of the Mysterious Transformation Realm.

And young people who can reach the Spirit Sea Realm often have to possess both top-tier talent and resources, like Li Wei and Bai Zhi.

As for the King Realm.

Wanting to reach the King Realm at twenty?

It's too difficult, so difficult that it's simply unrealistic.

Yet Fu Qinghuan reached it...

But Yang Yu was not panicked at all.

So what if she's at the King Realm?

Can she hang a cheater?

…………

"No? You're not afraid at all?"

Li Wei found Yang Yu's expression incredible.

Yang Yu said as a matter of course: "What's there to be afraid of? She's at the King Realm; I'll just cultivate to the Saint Realm."

Li Wei was completely speechless.

Saint Realm?

Why don't you just fly to the sky!

There are only five Saint Realm experts in the entire Great Xia, and they are all big shots who shake their regions and rarely take action.

How is it that in your mouth, the Saint Realm sounds like child's play?

Is that something you can reach just by thinking about it?

"Whatever you say, as long as you're happy."

Li Wei felt that ignorance is bliss and couldn't be bothered to say anything more.

Yang Yu didn't say anything more either.

Having confirmed Fu Qinghuan's cultivation this time, he could consider it a small goal.

Before reaching the King Realm, don't be reckless.

Just at this moment, the carriage's speed suddenly slowed down.

"Young Master, the road ahead is blocked."

The coachman said somewhat helplessly.

Bai Chengliang was dissatisfied and said: "Who is it, blocking the road in the middle of the night?"

Saying this, he lifted the door curtain.

The originally wide main road was gathered with dozens of people, forming a large circle, truly blocking the road completely.

In the middle of the crowd was a young man dressed in gorgeous clothes, sitting cross-legged, eyes slightly closed, breathing in Xuanqi.

"Are you people from the Ximen family sick? Running to the middle of the road to cultivate in the middle of the night!"

Bai Chengliang cursed.

Seeing that young man, he recognized the origin of this group.

"Ximen family? Judging by your tone, you don't have a good relationship?" Yang Yu asked curiously.

Bai Chengliang explained:

"There are three major families in Ning City: the Bai family, the Jiang family, and the Ximen family. Jiang Han, whom we met earlier, is from the Jiang family. The one sitting in meditation in front is called Ximen Kun, the young master of the Ximen family."

"In reality, the relationships between the three major families are not good; after all, there is a competitive relationship. However, the Ximen family has been more prominent in recent years and is also annoying. This Ximen Kun especially likes to show off; I can't stand him the most."

Yang Yu agreed deeply: "He really likes to show off, running outside in the middle of the night to do performance art."

Bai Chengliang shouted again: "Ximen Kun, you're blocking the road!"

Although he was very unhappy, with so many martial artists from the Ximen family around, it was best to avoid conflict if possible.

"So it's Young Master Bai, my apologies. Please wait a moment, Young Master Bai; we will leave very soon."

Among the Ximen family members, a middle-aged man stood out and apologized with a smile.

Bai Chengliang remembered this person; he was the Ximen family's steward, Chen Qiming, who was relatively smooth.

One doesn't hit a smiling face; Bai Chengliang's tone softened slightly as he said: "How long do we have to wait?"

Chen Qiming said: "That's hard to say; wait until my young master pulls out the Divine Sword, then you can pass."

"Pulling a sword? Who knows how long he's going to pull for; are you expecting me to wait here forever?"

Bai Chengliang was unhappy.

If it were just a short wait, he could give them some face.

But to keep waiting like this, why should he?

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Ximen Kun suddenly opened his eyes and shouted angrily:

"Why are you shouting so loudly? I was just about to build up a good state, and you've ruined it all!"

Bai Chengliang was even more displeased and said very impolitely:

"You blocked the road, and I've already been very tolerant, yet you're barking like a dog? Heh, the worse you are, the more you show off. 'Building up'? You're building up a fart! How many times have you pulled it? Have you no self-awareness?"

Ximen Kun's face turned red as he said: "What do you mean 'failure'? I was laying the groundwork for success. Today I am well-prepared, and it is a sure thing; I will definitely pull out the Divine Sword in one go!"

"Chengliang, what does this 'pulling the sword' mean?" Yang Yu asked with some curiosity.
