“Brother Chen, who is this?”
Kong Dun Ling's gaze swept over Bai Qian Li, a trace of hostility flashing in his eyes.
Bai Qian Li's expression shifted slightly, a powerful aura locking onto his presence.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
A sound like waves crashing echoed through the void.
Understanding dawned in Bai Qian Li's eyes, a smile appearing on his lips.
The Confucian Dao River, the Great Sage Confucius!
“Brother Bai, you're quick! You finished the terrain survey so soon!”
Chen Fan turned his head and introduced with a smile.
“Brother Kong, this is Brother Bai Qian Li. Don't let his gentle demeanor fool you.
He is skilled in combat, knows the heavens above and the earth below, and is incredibly wise!
Brother Bai, this is Kong Dun Ling, from the Kong family in Lu, he came to assist today!”
Chen Fan looked at Kong Dun Ling with admiration, impressed within.
Truly, a thousand-year old family! They get information quickly!
Chen Fan wouldn't believe for a moment that Kong Dun Ling came to apply for a job.
It was obvious this was someone sent by the Kong family to observe the situation.
After all, the education of humanity has always been the Kong family's utmost concern.
Chen Fan making the Yao race accept human rules, that's education.
“Brother Chen, you flatter me. A small hill, it seems the Kong family has high hopes for you!”
Bai Qian Li clasped his hands in a salute, speaking with elegance.
Chen Fan's eyes lit up upon hearing this, his respect for Kong Dun Ling increased threefold.
The Kong family truly are the Kong family, they have such grand plans!
His academy, it's saved!
Chen Fan couldn't handle those unruly kids.
“The sky and the evening clouds merge, a thousand miles away, my thoughts drift, Brother Bai has a good name.
Water nourishes all life, Brother Bai, is your surname Bai, given name Ze, and courtesy name Qian Li?
By the way, though I study literature, I also have some skill in martial arts!”
Kong Dun Ling's eyes narrowed, also looking at Bai Qian Li with a warning.
Bai Ze, the first of the ten Yao Generals, the strategist and advisor of the Yao race!
Kong Dun Ling couldn't help but sigh as he thought about Bai Ze arriving even earlier than him.
A Saint, always a Saint!
The Yao race, though fallen, still stands strong with the support of a Saint.
Humanity, though the protagonist of the heavens, with Three Emperors whose status is comparable to Saints.
But humanity still can only be the puppets of various forces.
Humanity's Great Sages are born, yet those sent from the Fire Cloud Cave are slower than the Yao race.
“Damn, Brother Kong, that name is dangerous, it carries a big karmic consequence!”
If they weren't strangers, Chen Fan would have covered Kong Dun Ling's mouth with his hand.
You can't just casually say that name!
This is the Primordial World, a being like Bai Ze, just a thought is enough for him to perceive.
Chen Fan had never seen Bai Qian Li actually make a move, so he just assumed he was that human strongman.
As for Zhang Tian Shou mentioning that Bai Qian Li was incredibly powerful.
Chen Fan hadn't taken it to heart. In mythical stories, the Seven Fairies aren't known for their combat abilities.
Bai Qian Li “…”
Kong Dun Ling “…”
They looked at each other, nodded at the same time, and then both laughed.
“Hahaha, Brother Chen, you worry too much, a being like that wouldn't care about our words!”
Kong Dun Ling smiled, giving Bai Qian Li a look, and continued.
“Isn't that right, Brother Qian Li?”
“Of course, Brother Dun Ling!”
Bai Qian Li rolled his eyes, and Chen Fan suddenly understood.
“You two, you know each other?”
“We don't, but we have been spiritually connected for a long time!”
Bai Qian Li pulled out a folding fan from somewhere, admiration in his eyes.
Humans truly have a natural advantage!
Kong Qiu, how many years has it been since he was born, he has already stepped into the Quasi-Saint realm.
Moreover, he has made good progress within the Quasi-Saint realm.
“I dare not, this junior has grown up listening to the stories of your great name!”
Kong Dun Ling bowed to Bai Qian Li with junior's etiquette.
Chen Fan nodded, not surprised.
Kong Dun Ling is the next generation cultivated by the Kong family, Bai Qian Li is a human elder.
The junior knows the elder's reputation, the elder has heard of the outstanding junior's name.
Reasonable, justified, logical!
“Ha, it's just a name, my abode is the Fire Cloud Cave!”
Seeing Chen Fan's fear of Bai Ze's name, Red Boy felt a surge of disdain.
Such a person, how can he be qualified to have my teacher serve him.
“Fire Cloud Cave? You are Red Boy!”
Chen Fan was stunned, he took a big leap to shield Bai Qian Li behind him, warning.
“Brother Bai be careful, this child is no ordinary child.
Brother Bai, you hold him off first, we'll find Nezha to subdue him!”
Bai Qian Li turned his head in a sorrowful way, looking at Chen Fan.
I thank you!
Seeing Chen Fan's fear, Red Boy put his hands on his waist, looking very arrogant.
But he didn't notice a pair of majestic eyes, slowly descending from above his head.
“Fire Cloud Cave?”
“That's right!”
“Very good, today your master will teach you what it means to respect your teacher and elders, what it means to be polite!”
A big hand descended, grabbing Red Boy's neck.
Next, Red Boy was pressed onto Kong Dun Ling's leg, a ruler appeared in his hand.
Slap!
“Ouch, it hurts… Old geezer, I’ll…”
Slap!
“You dare hit me… Ouch…”
Slap slap slap!
“Master, I was wrong, I know I was wrong!”
“Do you know where you went wrong?”
Looking at the ferocious Kong Dun Ling, Chen Fan walked out from behind Bai Qian Li.
Good, even Red Boy can be subdued, he's definitely going to be able to handle the kids in the village!
Just right, I'll send Nezha to study there too.
“Achoo, who's talking about me? Did Li Jing find out I'm gone?”
Outside Zhao Family Village, several earthen kilns appeared out of thin air.
Nezha lay comfortably on a reclining chair, maintaining the purple flame of snake teeth above the kiln.
Shaking his head, Nezha stretched and said.
“Da Zhuang, go get me another plate of snacks, remember, I want the ones made in Chen Fan's pot!”
In Chang'an City, in front of a fortune-telling stall, a fisherman nervously rubbed his hands.
“Master Yuan, are you sure, at the third quarter of the last hour today, three miles downstream of the Jing River.
I can really catch a thousand-pound fish? And there's a golden carp?”
“Of course, if not, you can just smash my stall! But remember, the golden carp is mine!”
Behind the fortune-telling stall sat a middle-aged Taoist, skinny in appearance but spirited in expression.
The fisherman was overjoyed, quickly bowing repeatedly to the fortune teller.
“Got it, got it, Master Yuan, just wait for my good news!”
Yuan Shou Cheng watched the fisherman leave, strands of light and shadow flashing in his eyes.
Soon, the light and shadow disappeared, Yuan Shou Cheng's face turned pale, and he muttered softly.
“The curtain has risen, another lost soul.
Who told you to be the strongest dragon soul under the Four Sea Dragon Kings!”
