"Seeing that you're good with words, I won't argue with you. I'm here to tell you something. Just now, my father received a letter from the Royal City. Your father … might be unlucky."
Zhou Yang's expression tightened. The thing he was most worried about had happened.
"What's the content?" Zhou Yang asked anxiously.
"This is top secret. How could I have seen it? If not for my father inadvertently leaking some information, even I wouldn't have known." Tang Yuewu suddenly lowered her voice and whispered in Zhou Yang's ear, "Don't tell my father, I snuck out."
After speaking, Tang Yuewu's face reddened and she hurriedly retreated a few steps. After a while, she stammered, "I … I'm leaving. You're on your own."
Looking at Tang Yuewu's beautiful back view, Zhou Yang didn't have the slightest bit of appreciation. He hurriedly informed Guo Zhanxiong and the First Madam of the matter, but this time, they didn't discuss it with him.
Zhou Yang was very clear that Guo Zhanxiong was protecting him, not allowing him to get involved in this matter.
"My strength is still too low …"
For the entire night, Zhou Yang was unable to meditate. Only the next morning did he find out that Guo Zhanxiong had already left for the Border City.
As the general of the County City, he actually left for the Border City. This meant that the situation in the Border City was extremely dangerous. Once the Border City was breached, Zhou Zhantian would be the first to bear the brunt.
"With my strength, I can't control the situation, let alone the overall situation. Now, I can only protect myself …"
On the way back to the Institute of Martial Arts, Zhou Yang's mind raced. In the end, he had no choice but to prepare for the worst.
Once his father was punished, the Ye Clan and the Xu Clan wouldn't let him off. Only by protecting himself could he think of a way to save his father.
After arriving at the Institute of Martial Arts, he went straight to the Duty Hall to collect the 150,000 Rising Star reward.
The Rising Star reward was only for the first time. No matter how much his future net worth was, he could only collect 150,000.
"Look, the new net worth ranking is out. This time, Zhou Yang's name is going to resound throughout Jiangnan."
"Yeah, I didn't expect Zhou Yang to be the possessor of an Earthly Fiend Lord Astral Soul. Not only that, it's ranked 13th out of the 72 Astral Souls, the Magma Giant God Astral Soul.
"That's right, Zhou Yang's performance on the day of the exam shocked the entire Jiangnan County. Now, everywhere there are people talking about Zhou Yang, the Zhou Clan is like the sun in the sky."
"You can't say that. I heard that the border town is in a state of emergency. Even General Guo went there. I'm afraid General Zhou is in trouble …"
There were waves of discussions in the Martial Arts Arena, and all of them were talking about the Zhou Family. Zhou Yang wore a cloak and hid in the crowd, so he did not attract much attention.
A moment later, a few Deacons took the red list and pasted it on the stone tablet. The crowd immediately burst into an uproar.
"One million, it's actually one million, terrifying!"
"Obtaining a reward of one million with the strength of the Saturn Realm is simply unimaginable …"
"I'm afraid this is still a conservative estimate. One must know that in the entire 8 cities of the Jiangnan Country, including Zhou Yang, there are only 4 people who possess a primary Astral Soul."
"What's even more interesting is that out of the four main Astral Souls, there are two from the Middle County City. One is Xu Pengfei, and the other is Zhou Yang. These two are actually opposing each other. In the future, there will be a good show to watch …"
Zhou Yang couldn't help but smile when he heard this. Three months ago, he was still a famous piece of trash in the county city. Now, he was a genius that everyone praised.
"Look, it's Elder Song. What is he doing here?"
At this moment, someone exclaimed.
Zhou Yang looked over and saw that Elder Song had indeed brought a group of Deacons to the Martial Arts Arena.
"Disciples, the Elite Hall Trial is about to begin. All elite disciples can register at the Deacon's Residence within 10 days. Those who pass the test will be able to enter the Scholar's Hall to participate in the Martial Warrior Assessment …"
Elder Song's words caused another uproar.
The Elite Hall Trial!
"Let's go and register. If we can become a Martial Warrior, we might be able to participate in the Young King Tournament at the end of the year. That's a grand event that happens once every five years. It's good to show our faces."
"Let's first pass the Elite Hall Trial."
The group of disciples talked as they walked towards the Deacon's Hall, and Zhou Yang indeed walked towards Elder Song.
"Elder Song, it seems that you still owe me something!"
Although the voice was soft, it still attracted the attention of some people.
"It's Zhou Yang. My god, Zhou Yang is actually here."
"Geniuses are indeed different. They don't even care about Elder Song."
"That's only natural. Did you see Young Master Xu Pengfei putting Elder Song in his eyes?"
The disciples who had left started to turn back. Over a thousand of them surrounded Elder Song and Zhou Yang.

Elder Song's countenance was extremely unsightly as he angrily stated, "Zhou Yang, I know you are a genius of the County, but you have to know that I'm an Elder. Don't you know how to respect one's elders?"
"Elder Song is too serious. When did I not respect you? I'm only here to ask you for something that originally belonged to me." Zhou Yang laughed.
"What do I, an Elder, owe you?" Elder Song disdainfully retorted.
"High-grade Xuanwu Stone." As the sound of Zhou Yang's voice faded, Elder Song's countenance changed.
"Elder Song shouldn't have forgotten the words I said back then. I said that you would return it to me. Don't tell me you still think that I borrowed someone else's help to clear the wooden puppets?"
After hearing Zhou Yang's words, the crowd finally understood the whole story. They couldn't help but nod their heads.
With a primary Astral Soul, it wasn't difficult to clear the wooden puppets.
Elder Song's countenance was somewhat pale. After a long while, he took out the Xuanwu Stone and tossed it to Zhou Yang. "Why would I covet your things? Take it."
After speaking, Elder Song gritted his teeth and left.
Zhou Yang held onto the high-quality Xuanwu Stone, his heart filled with thoughts of the Elite Hall.
The Elite Hall, the Son of Samurai test, as well as the Youth King Tournament at the end of the year.
"Zhou Yang, someone wants to see you."
Lin Wanqing strode over from the crowd. After speaking, she turned and left.
"Someone wants to see me too …"
Zhou Yang furrowed his brows and followed closely behind. Other than the Ninth Madam, he couldn't think of anyone else.
As they walked past the back mountain, Lin Wanqing didn't speak a single word. Zhou Yang knew why she didn't speak, but he didn't want to talk about it.
His agreement with Xu Yunfei was just a matter of pride. He had no intentions of marrying Lin Wanqing.
"Alright, we've arrived. You can enter by yourself."
After a while, Lin Wanqing stopped in front of a small house under a waterfall.
Zhou Yang didn't remember there being such a place in the back mountain. He wanted to ask who it was so that he could be prepared, but Lin Wanqing had already left.
Helpless, he could only take a deep breath and walk towards the wooden house.
Before the person arrived, he could already smell a faint fragrance. From this fragrance, he could tell that the person in the house was a woman.
"May I know why you're looking for me?" Zhou Yang stopped at the door and asked.
"Come in, I've been waiting for you for a long time …"
