"You, you..." Lin Feng pointed at Shen Yuanbao and said in a trembling voice, "Who are you?"

Shen Yuanbao looked at Lin Feng's horrified expression, and his heart was filled with the pleasure of revenge. He slowly opened the colorful glazed umbrella, and suddenly, a powerful aura emanated from the umbrella, covering the entire arena.

"You are not worthy of knowing who I am!" Shen Yuanbao said coldly, "Now, kneel down and beg for mercy, and I will consider sparing your life!"

Lin Feng looked at the colorful glazed umbrella in Shen Yuanbao's hand, and his heart was filled with despair. He knew that he would not be able to escape today.

At this moment, Shen Yuanbao suddenly put away the colorful glazed umbrella and a playful smile appeared on his face.

"Forget it, I'll give you a chance." Shen Yuanbao looked at Lin Feng and said slowly, "I won't use any magic weapon, I'll just use my body to fight you. As long as you can survive ten moves from me, I'll let you live. How about that?"

When Lin Feng heard Shen Yuanbao's words, he was stunned at first. No magic weapon? Then I won't fight with you!

Lin Feng suddenly said: "I give up!"

Everyone in the audience sighed, and Raymond Lam took advantage of the chaos to escape...

At this time, Steward Ge stepped forward and announced that the martial arts competition for marriage was temporarily over.

"Why don't you two come back with me to the Ge family?"

"Whether you are going to the Ge family or not, just give me a straight answer." Shen Yuanbao glanced at Lu Yun with a hint of impatience in his tone.

Lu Yun sighed helplessly. Fatty Shen was good in every way except that he was too impatient and would do anything he said. He turned to look at Ge Wen, who was looking at him eagerly. His round eyes were full of expectation, as if he would burst into tears the next second if he said he couldn't go.

"Go, go, all go." Lu Yun rubbed his brows, "You are already like this, how can I say no?"

"Haha, I knew Brother Lu is the best!" Ge Wen smiled happily upon hearing this. He put his arm around Lu Yun's shoulders and dragged him out. "Come on, let's go now. I've asked the housekeeper to prepare the best wine and food. I must treat you well today!"

Lu Yun was dragged away by Ge Wen, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He could only look at Shen Yuanbao behind him and said, "May the best come to you." Shen Yuanbao rolled his eyes and followed him resignedly.

The Ge family is a big family in Huazhou, and they have been doing business for generations and are very wealthy. As the only young master of the Ge family, Ge Wen has been spoiled since he was a child, and his temperament is inevitably a little arrogant. However, after spending these few days together, Lu Yun found that although Ge Wen appears to be careless on the surface, he is very kind in his heart, and he is very loyal to his friends, so he also sincerely regards him as a friend.

As soon as the three of them arrived at the main gate of the Ge family, they saw a group of servants who had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Ge Wen, they immediately bowed and saluted in unison: "Welcome home, young master!"

Ge Wen waved his hand casually, pointing at Lu Yun and Shen Yuanbao and introducing them, "These two are my good brothers, Lu Yun and Shen Yuanbao, go and prepare the wine and food, I want to entertain them well!"

"Yes, sir." The servants responded respectfully, and then began to prepare in an orderly manner.

Lu Yun looked at the magnificent mansion in front of him and secretly sighed in his heart that the Ge family was indeed wealthy and powerful. One could tell their importance in Huazhou just from this mansion.

Ge Wen brought the two of them to his own courtyard. As soon as they sat down, the servants filled the table with sumptuous food and wine.

"Come, come, try our Ge family's specialty dishes. They are made by the chef we invited from Tianxianglou!" Ge Wen greeted the two enthusiastically.

Lu Yun and Shen Yuanbao were not polite either, they picked up their chopsticks and started eating. Seeing this, Ge Wen nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, why are you being polite to me? Come on, drink!"

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Ge Wen finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked, "Brother Lu, Brother Shen, you said you had been to the secret cave in Xiwuzhou before. What was it like inside the secret cave?"

Shen Yuanbao put down his wine glass, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why, do you want to go?"

"Of course I want to go!" Ge Wen looked longing, "I heard that the secret cave is full of treasures and various ancient secrets. It would be great if I could go in and see it for myself!"

"Then why don't you go?" Shen Yuanbao looked at him with a smile.

Ge Wen was like a deflated ball. He said dejectedly, "My parents won't let me go. They say it's too dangerous."

Lu Yun nodded in understanding. Ge Wen was the only child of the Ge family, so naturally they took great care of him and it was reasonable for them not to let him take any risks.

"That secret cave is indeed dangerous." Lu Yun said calmly, "Not only are there various dangerous restrictions and mechanisms inside, but there are also many powerful monks who fight over anything they don't agree on, and killing people for treasures is common."

"Moreover..." Lu Yun paused and said in a low voice, "I heard that deep in the secret cave, there may be a saint-level strongman!"

“Saint?!” Ge Wen exclaimed, his eyes widened. “Is this true? That’s a legendary existence!”

“I don’t know whether the legend is true or not, but I did feel an extremely powerful aura deep in that secret cave, which is definitely not comparable to that of a quasi-saint.” Lu Yun said solemnly.

"Hiss..." Ge Wen took a breath and became even more curious about the secret cave. At the same time, he was more eager to go in and find out what was inside.

"Brother Lu, just tell me what the secret cave looks like?" Ge Wen pulled Lu Yun's sleeve and begged.

Lu Yun pondered for a moment, and finally decided to tell him some of the things he could say. After all, Ge Wen had no ill will towards him, and he didn't want to spoil his fun.

"That secret cave is actually an ancient relic..." Lu Yun slowly narrated his experience in the secret cave. Of course, he did not mention a word about the treasure map. After all, he still understood the principle of not showing off one's wealth.

Ge Wen was fascinated by what he heard and wished he could follow Lu Yun to explore the secret cave immediately.

"Brother Lu, you are so amazing!" Ge Wen looked at Lu Yun with admiration, "If I had your ability, my parents would definitely let me go!"

"You, don't dream." Shen Yuanbao hit him mercilessly, "With your level of cultivation, you won't even be enough to fill the gaps in other people's teeth."

Ge Wen immediately lay on the table dejectedly like a defeated rooster, muttering: "I also want to improve my strength, but the speed of cultivation is too slow..."

"The path of cultivation requires gradual progress. There is no such thing as overnight success." Lu Yun said calmly, "You already have a good talent. As long as you work hard, you may achieve something in the future."

"Hey, Brother Lu, it's so easy for you to say that..." Ge Wen sighed, his tone full of helplessness.

At this moment, a slightly sharp voice came from outside the courtyard: "Wen'er, why did you bring the guests to the courtyard? Why don't you go to the garden?"

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged couple walked in. They were Ge Wen’s parents, Mr. Ge and Mrs. Ge.

As soon as Mrs. Ge entered the room, she looked up and down at Lu Yun and Shen Yuanbao with a bit of scrutiny in her eyes. She had heard that her son was beaten outside, and she had been worried until the housekeeper came back and reported that the young master had taken the elixir from his friend and his injury had improved. Only then did she feel relieved.

However, she still had some doubts about these two "friends" who suddenly appeared. She only knew that they were from Tongxianzhou, but she had no idea where they came from. She was worried that her son was inexperienced and was deceived. After all, similar things had happened before.

Mr. Ge seemed quite calm. He patted his wife's hand, signaling her to be patient. Then he smiled and said to Lu Yun and Shen Yuanbao, "You two young friends have come from afar. It's really hard. Please take a seat."

Lu Yun and Shen Yuanbao stood up and saluted: "Master Ge, Madam Ge."

"Wen'er, hurry up and serve tea to the guests." Mrs. Ge glared at Ge Wen with a hint of reproach in her tone.

"Oh, okay, okay." Ge Wen quickly asked the servants to serve tea. At the same time, he secretly observed the expressions of his parents, feeling a little uneasy.

Mr. Ge and Mrs. Ge sat down on the chairs and seemingly casually exchanged a few words with Lu Yun and Shen Yuanbao, but in fact they were secretly observing their words and actions.

"I wonder where your two young friends learned their lessons from?" Mrs. Ge asked casually.

Lu Yun and Shen Yuanbao looked at each other. They had already thought of an answer to this question. After all, the purpose of their trip was not convenient to reveal, so they announced to the outside world that they were just casual cultivators.

"Madam Ge, we two don't have a master. We are just casual cultivators." Lu Yun answered neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Oh? An independent cultivator?" A hint of doubt flashed in Mrs. Ge's eyes. It's not easy to be an independent cultivator these days, not to mention that these two people are so young, but they have such a high level of cultivation. They don't look like unknown people at all.

Mr. Ge also frowned slightly. Although he was not as meticulous as his wife, he also felt that the two people were a little suspicious. However, he changed his mind and thought that his son had been well protected by them since he was a child and rarely had contact with the outside world. Now that he had finally made two friends, he should not interfere too much to avoid hurting his son's feelings.

"I see." Mr. Ge said with a smile, "You two young friends have such achievements at such a young age. It's true that heroes emerge from youth!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Ge." Lu Yun said lightly.

Mrs. Ge wanted to ask something else, but Mr. Ge secretly pulled her sleeve, signaling her not to ask any more questions.

"Okay, Madam, don't ask any more questions. It's rare for the children to get together, so let them have a good chat." Mr. Ge said with a smile, "Let's go for a walk in the garden. It's time to stretch our muscles."

Although Mrs. Ge was somewhat reluctant, she could not say anything more and could only follow Mr. Ge and leave the yard.

"Dad, Mom, take care!" Ge Wen quickly stood up and saw them off.

After his parents walked away, Ge Wen finally breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to look at Lu Yun and Shen Yuanbao and asked in a low voice, "My parents didn't say anything, did they?"

"No." Lu Yun shook his head, but he secretly became alert in his heart. It seems that the Ge family is not so easy to fool.

Seeing that his parents did not make things difficult for them, Ge Wen felt relieved and continued to chat with Lu Yun and Shen Yuanbao.

"Brother Lu, you haven't finished yet. What else is in the secret cave?" Ge Wen asked curiously.

Lu Yun smiled helplessly and was about to continue speaking, but his face suddenly changed. He stood up abruptly and looked outside the yard with sharp eyes.

"What's wrong?" Seeing this, Shen Yuanbao and Ge Wen also stood up and looked in the direction Lu Yun was looking.

Outside the yard, a black shadow flew towards them at an extremely fast speed and was close to them in the blink of an eye.

"Oh no, there's danger!" Lu Yun's face darkened and he shouted loudly.

"Alas, why is cultivation so difficult? When I first broke through to the Heavenly Rank, I thought I was invincible. But now I've been stuck at the Quasi-Saint level for several years without any progress!" Ge Wen said as he took a sip of wine irritably.

Lu Yun sat opposite him, sipping tea calmly. When he heard Ge Wen's complaint, he just smiled faintly: "The path of cultivation is against the will of heaven, how can it be that easy? Look at me, haven't I been stuck in the middle stage of Quasi-Saint for a long time?"

"Brother Lu, I don't believe what you said," Ge Wen curled his lips, "How old are you this year, and you are already in the middle stage of Quasi-Saint? In the entire Qingyun Continent, there are so many geniuses like you that you can be counted on one hand. Besides, you have the support of Tianyuan Sect behind you, and the cultivation resources are so abundant. Unlike me, I can only rely on the pitiful savings of my family. Sigh..."
