One person: After starting with the academic atmosphere, I'll take down Xia He!

Seeing that Ma Long was trying to extort money from him, Ma Xianhong reluctantly nodded.

"Brother!"

So, what do you suggest we do to solve this?

How can I ever apologize to you!

"Humph!

You know perfectly well what's going on, give me your thing!

Seeing that he had relented, Ma Long naturally rose to the challenge.

"Forehead……

Brother Ma Long, this isn't quite right.

Let's ask the victim, Daoist Wang Ye, for his opinion!

Ma Xianhong scratched his head awkwardly and looked at Wang Ye.

"Since Village Chief Ma is willing to apologize, I can't continue to put on airs."

Okay, then, you forge me a genuine protective magic weapon too, just make sure it's not too weak.

Wang Ye revealed his thoughts, expressing his envy of Feng Baobao's use of the glass beads.

"Oh!

Master Wang Ye is so easy to talk to, what's so difficult about this?

Just kidding, I have a Bodhisattva pendant here, its effects are comparable to the glass beads I had before.

Consider this a gift to Daoist Wang Ye as an apology.

As Ma Xianhong spoke, he took out a pendant from his personal pouch and handed it to Wang Ye.

"Tsk tsk..."

Wang Ye quite liked it, but it was a Bodhisattva pendant!

"Village Chief Ma!"

How am I, a disciple of the Three Pure Ones, supposed to wear this?!

"what!

Oh, that was my oversight. Here!

I'll get you another one.

Ma Xianhong looked embarrassed and tried to take the pendant, but Ma Long intercepted it.

"Ugh!

If the king doesn't like it, then give him another one.

I quite like this pendant; look how exquisitely it's carved!

Ma Long played with the jade pendant in his hand, enjoying the cool warmth coming from his palm.

"Junior Uncle!"

Be careful what you say!

"Are you courting death again?"

Wang Ye was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly stopped him from making his bold statement.

Ma Long didn't think much of it and put the pendant around his neck.

"Old Ma!"

"Quick, don't be stingy. Just consider it giving Wang Ye two protective magical artifacts, what's the harm?"

Seeing that Ma Xianhong remained unmoved and seemed to have no intention of taking out any more protective artifacts, he urged him on.

"Brother!"

This isn't a two-yuan wholesale store; I'm sending out protective amulets by the basketful.

Even with the most exquisite craftsmanship, these high-end goods still require a great deal of my effort to produce.

"I know, I know, I only want two of you, why are you being so stingy!"

Helpless, Ma Xianhong pulled out another cross-shaped pendant, which Ma Long immediately reached out to snatch.

"This won't do, I'll try another one."

But Ma Xianhong nimbly dodged it; he knew the cross absolutely could not be given to Wang Ye.

"Hey!

"Found it. This little gourd will be given to Daoist Wang Ye."

He rummaged around for a while and finally took out a jade gourd pendant, which he handed to Wang Ye.

This pleased the king greatly, and he happily wore it around his neck.

"Alright, I've made amends."

Brother, let's sit down!

Ma Xianhong breathed a sigh of relief and was about to invite the group to sit down when Ma Long stopped him again.

"Old Ma, who told you it's over?"

I won't forgive them!

Seeing that Ma Long was still relentless.

"Brother, what are you doing!"

"Since Daoist Wang Ye isn't pursuing the matter, please let me off the hook."

"Old Ma, don't feel wronged!"

You sent six top-tier cultivators to attack me, and that bastard Zhang Kun even ambushed me.

This matter cannot be glossed over.

Give us an explanation!

"What!?

And this thing?

Village Chief Ma, you're really being unfair! Your junior uncle treats you with the utmost sincerity.

How could you repay kindness with enmity!

At the very least, shouldn't we offer up the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements as compensation?

Wang Ye knew what Ma Long was looking at, and although he was very reluctant, he still chimed in.

"Forehead……"

Ma Xianhong was an honest man, and after being spoken to like that by the two of them, he really lost face.

"Brother Ma Long!"

It was my fault, let's do this.

Let's have a contest. If you can beat me, I'll offer you the Divine Craftsmanship with both hands!

how is it? "

When Ma Xianhong suddenly proposed a contest to determine the winner, Ma Long became suspicious.

"Why?

Old Ma, you should compensate me with the Divine Craftsmanship Manual for what you did.

Why should I fight you again?

Ma Long, who was always confident, felt inexplicably intimidated by the tall and imposing Ma Xianhong, who was over thirty years old. He was probably more cautious after being slapped by the old master and the puppet earlier.

"Um... although that's really unfair."

However, I reserve the right of final interpretation!

Ma Xianhong blushed and murmured.

I go!

"Old Ma, you!"

OK, OK!

"I beat you, you can't go back on your word now, right?"

Ma Long, feeling helpless, repeatedly confirmed the information.

"Rest assured, with so many witnesses, I will keep my word!"

"Brother, let's get started!"

As Ma Xianhong spoke, he began to roll up his sleeves, ready to fight, but Ma Long quickly refused.

"What are you doing? What are you doing?"

Taking advantage of someone's misfortune!

"Old Ma, I've been fighting for so long, and now you want to challenge me?"

"if not?

"Brother, what do you want?"

Ma Xianhong looked at Ma Long hesitantly.

"how?

I'm exhausted right now and definitely need to rest for the night.

"Let's settle this once and for all here tomorrow morning."

"what!

Are you sure about this, bro?

Ma Xianhong smiled meaningfully and asked again.

Marlon was taken aback. What did he mean by that?

Deception?

Are you trying to scare me into attacking now?

Ma Xianhong is an honest man; he wouldn't play these roundabout games.

"Old Ma, I'm so tired."

Let me rest for the night, and we'll fight again tomorrow morning!

"Hahaha!

Alright! My friend, you can rest well.

I'll teach you a good lesson tomorrow morning!

Ma Xianhong laughed heartily, watching Ma Long and the other two return to their residence.

After walking several hundred steps, Feng Baobao suddenly turned around, startling Ma Xianhong.

Everyone was stunned when they saw Feng Baobao rushing over.

Unexpectedly, she went to get the supplements that Ma Long hadn't finished eating, and then she chased after him.

"have to!

My dear great-aunt, you have such a good memory!

Back at his lodgings, Ma Long finished all his food under Feng Baobao's care.

"That's enough!"

What else?

"If there's nothing else, just leave. Let me get some sleep. Didn't you know you had a fight planned?"

"Junior Uncle, are you confident about tomorrow's battle?"

I think Ma Xianhong came prepared.

He threatened to teach you a lesson.

Wang was also somewhat worried. He felt that Ma Xianhong wouldn't make such a claim out of thin air; he must have something to rely on.

"I'm a little confused by what Lao Ma is doing."

I hadn't heard of any special methods he might have used, so I really can't guarantee anything!

Ma Long hesitated, for what Wang Ye said was exactly what he had in mind.

"It's nothing!"

You go to sleep well, I'll sneak over tonight and bury him!

Seeing the two looking worried, the quick-witted Feng Baobao stepped in to help them out.

"Big sister!"

You can rest now!

"This is a trivial matter; Junior Uncle can handle it. There's no need for such fuss!"

Wang Ye quickly stopped Feng Baobao, knowing that this woman meant what she said and that if he didn't keep an eye on her, she would take action.

“Baby, there’s no need to bury him.”

Old Ma is a good person, and things haven't gotten to that point yet.

Ma Long raised his hand to stop Feng Baobao and explained.

"Old Ma's 'divine craftsmanship' must refer to mechanical arts and weapon crafting."

It doesn't seem that strong!

"I possess two extraordinary skills, Feng Hou and Tong Tian; why would I fear his Divine Hundred Refinements?"
