Chapter 352: 352. It only cost a little bit.

The master and apprentice were both using harsh tactics, determined to teach this scoundrel a deep lesson.

However, Fang Zhou was clearly at a disadvantage. His face was a bit pale, and his breathing was heavy, while Ling Xiaoyue remained composed, showing much more endurance than Fang Zhou.

“No way! This scoundrel’s level is higher than mine. There’s no need to talk about fairness and justice when dealing with her; ganging up is the truth.”

Fang Zhou silently thought to himself. He didn’t reveal the golden substitute but instead summoned the long-unused Hu Lai Left Hand.

Ling Xiaoyue noticed that Fang Zhou had an extra hand and immediately shot him a protesting look. This brat promised a one-on-one, but he’s cheating?

Fang Zhou replied with a look, who said anything about a one-on-one with you?

With the extra hand, he was evenly matched with Ling Xiaoyue for a while, but gradually both of them couldn’t hold on. Their butts almost went numb from the pain; a little more pinching and they’d be ruined.

“Let go!”

“You let go first!”

“Let’s let go together!”

The master and apprentice counted to three together, then released and jumped apart, each occupying one end of the wine pot.

“Hiss!”

Fang Zhou rubbed his butt with his hand, inhaling sharply from the pain, while Ling Xiaoyue did the same, rubbing her own butt.

As she rubbed, Ling Xiaoyue cursed, “You rebellious disciple, using such harsh tactics against your master, have you no humanity?”

Fang Zhou snorted disdainfully, “You’re the same!”

Seeing Ling Xiaoyue resisting in this way, Fang Zhou was absolutely certain she did something wrong.

But with her virtue, what kind of misdeed could she have done?

Fang Zhou guessed slightly and instantly glared at her angrily, “Did you secretly spend my money?”

“No!”

“No? Do you dare to swear?”

Due to their mental connection, Ling Xiaoyue really couldn’t lie to Fang Zhou, so she guiltily averted her eyes, raising two fingers, “This master only spent a tiny bit.”

Damn, only a fool would believe you just spent a little.

Fang Zhou was furious, angrily scolding Ling Xiaoyue, “I’ve worked hard to earn money, sweat, and toil, and you dare to steal and spend my hard-earned money while I’m away? You’re still a master like this? Doesn’t your conscience hurt? Do you even deserve to live in this world?”

Ling Xiaoyue was infuriated by the scolding and retorted angrily, “Rebellious disciple, this master only spent a little of your money, is it worth such a fuss? Does our master-disciple relationship not mean more than a little money?”

Fang Zhou pulled out a copper coin from his pocket and threw it at Ling Xiaoyue’s feet, “It’s worth just this much.”

Ling Xiaoyue was finally enraged and lunged at Fang Zhou, baring her teeth and waving her claws.

The master and apprentice wrestled fiercely on the wine pot, using all kinds of sneaky moves like poking eyes, jabbing chests, and grabbing groins.

In the end, Ling Xiaoyue’s skills prevailed, pinning Fang Zhou beneath her.

“Brat, think you’re something now that you’ve grown wings, huh? No matter how strong you become, you’ll always be your master’s defeated subordinate, meh hahaha!”

Ling Xiaoyue laughed triumphantly, while Fang Zhou, pinned helplessly beneath her, was left with tears of humiliation.

He silently vowed that one day he would repay this a thousandfold, stuffing Ling Xiaoyue under his butt like a rag to cleanse today’s shame.

After laughing for a while, Ling Xiaoyue realized she couldn’t stay here any longer, hastily kicking Fang Zhou off the wine pot.

“Disciple, your master has important matters to attend to. I won’t be home for a while, so let’s meet outside Refining Immortal City!”

Ling Xiaoyue waved goodbye to Fang Zhou, then controlled the wine pot, turning it to fly beyond the Mountain Protection Array.

Fang Zhou couldn’t stop Ling Xiaoyue, helplessly watching her flee.

Just then, Yu Qing arrived hurriedly, with Six-Wa standing behind her.

Earlier, when they parted, Fang Zhou had entrusted Yu Qing with a task, asking her to take Six-Wa back to Moon Viewing Peak to ask Cheng Xing and the others about what Ling Xiaoyue had really done.

Seeing Six-Wa’s expression now, Fang Zhou immediately felt something was wrong.

When Six-Wa jumped on Fang Zhou’s back and told him what Ling Xiaoyue had done, his face instantly twisted in rage, and he let out a roar filled with fury toward Ling Xiaoyue’s fleeing direction!

“You stop right there!!!”

Fang Zhou chased out beyond the Mountain Protection Array, only to see the wine pot with Ling Xiaoyue already a black dot in the sky.

He summoned the Xuanyuan Sword, raising it with both hands, and filled it with Innate True Qi, turning it golden. Countless golden Sword Qi gathered, forming a massive heavenly Sword Qi, the golden sword light piercing the sky.

“Sword Slash!!”

Fang Zhou shouted angrily, swinging down the Xuanyuan Sword, launching his strongest attack.

The golden sword light transformed into a terrifying golden torrent, fiercely shooting toward the distant Ling Xiaoyue.

The sea of clouds around was swept clean by the surging wind waves, leaving both Feng Qin and Yu Qing, who were watching from the sidelines, shaking in the wind.

Both were shocked to see this scene; it was their first time witnessing Fang Zhou’s personal attack, though it was the second time they had seen the golden sword light.

Compared to Yu Qing, Feng Qin, who was at the Innate Realm, was more surprised by Fang Zhou’s sword. She could clearly sense the power of this sword was something even she couldn’t withstand.

At this moment, everyone in Cloud Mountain City could see the golden torrent raging through the sky, turning all light into pure gold.

All the clouds in the sky were cleared by this sword, becoming transparent and blue.

Once the golden sword light vanished, Ling Xiaoyue’s figure disappeared with it, but no one believed she was truly destroyed by her apprentice’s sword.

Fang Zhou also knew this. He stood expressionlessly, a dark aura surrounding him, scaring Six-Wa behind him.

Yu Qing could only smile wryly, but these were matters between master and apprentice; she didn’t know how to console them.

Fang Zhou showed Yu Qing a kind smile, “It’s okay, I’m just mad at Ling Xiaoyue, I won’t take it out on others.”

He was a reasonable person, getting angry but not venting on irrelevant people.

Yu Qing felt a chill run down her spine at Fang Zhou’s smile, as if it hinted at a looming darkness.

Fang Zhou left with Yu Qing, while Feng Qin hesitated at the back. She wanted to go up to Fang Zhou to settle a debt since Ling Xiaoyue still owed her a hundred Silver Scale Jades.

But seeing Fang Zhou’s demeanor, Feng Qin suddenly thought it better to wait for another time, not wanting to provoke him now.

…

High in the clouds, a wine pot was flying leisurely.

“That brat really has grown wings, hitting so hard! Next time, I’ll have to hang him up by his butt.”

Ling Xiaoyue lay on the wine pot, crossing her legs, not forgetting to complain about Fang Zhou’s mercilessness toward her, his master.

She suddenly thought of something and sat up, picking up the copper coin Fang Zhou threw down earlier and putting it in her pocket.

“A penny is also money, made a profit, haha!”
