"How dare you! Unruly! Rude! "
Du Rufeng was so angry that his face turned green. He had never considered the possibility that Shen Zhenyi would dare to refuse to kneel.
Of course, there was no such rule when it came to rewards in the inner city. It was purely his intention to give Shen Zhenyi a show of strength.
He didn't expect Shen Zhenyi to be so stubborn. How could he get out of this situation?
If it was a normal situation, he would have already killed him, but … the Abandoned Sword Villa had just made a great contribution. If he acted like this, he was afraid that he would be implicated.
He could only settle for the next best thing.
"Come on, smash the door of the Abandoned Sword Villa!"
Du Rufeng screamed. His subordinates hesitated for a while, but in the end, they couldn't disobey the will of their superiors.
Cynanchum Chinense's almond-shaped eyes widened. She proudly stepped forward, pulled out her sword and shouted angrily, "Damn fatty, I'd like to see who dares to make a move!"
Chu Huoluo didn't care if he was an Inner City Patrol Inspector. She wasn't afraid of anything. Why would she care about such a fat old man?
"You … You … What did you say?"
Du Rufeng had never been pointed at and scolded like this before. He was so angry that he almost jumped. He waved his hand and wanted to slap this reckless little girl to death.
But just as he reached out, someone next to him chuckled and stopped him. A cloud floated by and casually held the hand of this inner city inspector.
"Brother Du, calm down. Miss Chu has made a great contribution at the city gate. She can't be touched casually."
A middle-aged scholar with a jade-like face stood in the air and cupped his hands toward Du Rufeng from afar.
"Teacher Guo!"
"Even Teacher Guo is here!"
"It seems that the inner city also values the Third Young Master Shen very much!"
Everyone cheered and was full of reverence.
Guo Song was a legendary figure born in the 19th outer city. He fought against ferocious beasts and was a chivalrous person. His reputation spread throughout the 19th outer city. He had just broken through to the fourth level of the True God Realm a few decades ago and was chosen to enter the inner city because of his strength.
Now, even though he was no longer in the nineteen outer cities, his reputation did not drop in the slightest. Whenever he was mentioned, the people of the nineteen outer cities would all praise him, taking pride in him. They did not directly call him by his name, but instead called him "Mister Guo".
He didn't expect him to come to the Abandoned Sword Villa as well. Now he was relieved. Even if Teacher Guo went to the inner city, he was an upright person and would definitely protect the Abandoned Sword Villa.
Du Rufeng's face turned cold. His triangular eyes were like that of a poisonous snake. He laughed and said, "Guo Song, do I need your approval to punish a few disrespectful juniors?"
He was born and bred in the inner city, so he usually didn't think much of Guo Song. However, the two of them had similar strength and status, so Guo Song couldn't do anything about it.
Guo Song smiled faintly. His attitude was calm as he twirled his beard. "Sir Du is the Patrol Inspector of the inner city. Of course, you have the right to punish. However, the reason we've come today is to reward the Abandoned Sword Villa. This is a joyous occasion, and Teacher Yan has also instructed that we must not mess this up. "
He faintly mentioned the official mission, and Du Rufeng trembled. He knew what Guo Song meant. The nineteen outer cities, the Abandoned Sword Villa, and the Third Young Master Shen were originally not important, but they couldn't bear the attention of others.
Although there were some people who urged him to deal with Shen Zhenyi, at least he couldn't do too much on the surface.
Du Rufeng snorted coldly. "If that's the case, please do it for me, Sir Guo. If they don't want to come out, how can this reward be given? Do we have to deliver it to them? "
He didn't mention that he was the one who wanted them to come out and greet him, which led to this mess. Now he could only blame Shen Zhenyi for not coming out to receive the reward.
Guo Song knew his temper, so he didn't care. He only smiled and said, "I dare not trouble Sir Du with such a small matter. I will take care of it."
He slowly descended and walked to the entrance of the Abandoned Sword Villa. Many people had already come forward to kneel and salute him, calling him "Teacher," "Benefactor," and so on.
Guo Song answered them one by one and nodded with a smile. He could even call out the names of many people. Even if he didn't know them, he knew that they were the son or disciple of someone. His attitude was extremely amiable.
"This is a good person," Cynanchum Chinense muttered.
She put away her sword and looked at Guo Song with interest. As a martial artist in the fourth level of the True God Realm, he should be high and mighty. However, this person was approachable and didn't seem to be proud of his strength. Just this point alone made him better than many others.
Guo Song walked to the entrance of the Abandoned Sword Villa and looked up at the bronze sword symbol. He nodded slightly and said to Cynanchum Chinense, "The three of you have killed the Ferocious Beast and made a great contribution. The inner city wants to reward your master. Please send a message and ask the Third Young Master Shen to come out."
He spoke politely. Cynanchum Chinense nodded and said, "Wait here." She turned and walked to the door.
Shen Zhenyi was taking a bath.
He was soaking in the big wooden basin with steam rising. His eyes were slightly closed and he seemed to be enjoying it.
Zi Ningjun and Princess Long were waiting at the door. Cynanchum Chinense hurried over and greeted them, "How is it? Is Master going out? Now there is an old man who is quite respectful. Master, why don't you go out and receive the reward? "
If Guo Song heard this, he would be so angry that he laughed. Although he was old, his appearance was only that of a middle-aged man. His skin was rosy and his hair was black. He was tall and straight. How could he not be considered an old man?
Cynanchum Chinense casually called him an old man but did not care.
"No need."
Shen Zhenyi's voice came from the room. He said lightly, "I am too lazy to see them. Please ask your Eldest Senior Sister to go out and receive the reward from the inner city. No matter what it is, there is no need to argue. Just get it. "
The people in the inner city were deceitful and scheming. Shen Zhenyi was too lazy to pay attention to them.
This time, he just wanted to save the people of the 19th outer city and let his three disciples borrow the blood of the Sword Extinction to experience the mystery of higher martial arts. Now that both of his goals had been achieved, he did not care whether there was any reward or not.
Shen Zhenyi could see through people's hearts. He knew that the people in the inner city were more afraid and suspicious of him now. Since that was the case, why should he be so kind to them?
He did not have to show up personally for such a small matter.
"This … is not good, right?"
Princess Long was a little worried, but Zi Ningjun was obedient to his master. He had already agreed and turned to go out.
"No problem."
Shen Zhenyi smiled and shook his head. He immersed himself in the water and closed his eyes thoughtfully.
Zi Ningjun walked to the door and bowed slightly to Guo Song. "Where is the reward? Master asked me to come and get it."
In the air, Du Rufeng was so angry that his face was crooked. Fortunately, it was Guo Song who went. If he had gone, he would have lost all his face. Guo Song wanted to win over the Abandoned Sword Villa because of his face, but now he was asking for humiliation.
He was angry, but he was also gloating. He could not stop sneering.
Guo Song was also slightly surprised. He thought that with his identity, Shen Zhenyi would come out and see him anyway. He could say a few words of flattery and encouragement. Naturally, he could get the relationship between the two families closer and plan for the future.
He did not expect that the Third Young Master Shen would not play by the rules. He actually did not go out?
