"Senior Brother Wei, calm down." Fan Wubing imdiately activated the Great Oblivion Heart-Burning Technique to help him calm down.
Wei Changkong composed himself, "Junior Brother Wubing? What are you doing here?"
Li Zhengqing's eyes lit up, "So you're Fan Wubing. I've heard a lot about you."
Heard a lot?
Fan Wubing knew well that his fa had only recently risen in the past month. He briefly explained what had happened.
Wei Changkong imdiately retorted angrily, "I'll say it again, I didn't breach the contract! I'm not the one who injured the debt collectors from your Treasure Heart Pavilion!"
Li Zhengqing said, "Personally, I believe you, after all, we've worked together many tis. But the Heaven and Earth Bank, to minimize individual employee interference, adopts an evidence-based approach. The evidence we've collected so far indicates otherwise."
"Soone must have impersonated !"
"That's outside the scope of our pavilion's responsibilities," Li Zhengqing said. "If you can provide evidence, the pavilion will naturally waive the compensation demand. We can also offer so rewards. After all, the Heaven and Earth Bank allows no provocation."
Fan Wubing suppressed Wei Changkong, his gaze firm, "So if we find the impostor, we can waive the compensation, right?"
Li Zhengqing looked at him with interest, "Of course."
"Do you want them dead or alive?"
Li Zhengqing raised an eyebrow, his smile widening, "Life or death is irrelevant. Even if it's total annihilation, evidence is all that matters. According to the rules of the Heaven and Earth Bank, I'll give you three days."
"Alright."
Fan Wubing didn't hesitate and left the Treasure Heart Pavilion with Wei Changkong.
Just as they left, a woman walked in. She said, "Manager Li, the Heaven and Earth Bank doesn't have this so-called three-day grace period rule."
Li Zhengqing, holding a book, smiled, "As a manager, I have extra authority."
"Using that authority here, won't it..."
Li Zhengqing said, "That young man is worth the anticipation."
"Fan Wubing?"
"Yes. Most people from Little South Continent are uninteresting, but it's rare to find such an intriguing young man, so let's watch."
"Manager Li, do you think highly of him?"
"It's not who thinks highly of him. It's the Wangxian Pavilion that thinks highly of him."
"Isn't the Wangxian Pavilion on Changsheng Continent?"
"Exactly. It's quite worth the anticipation that the high and mighty Wangxian Pavilion would take notice of soone," Li Zhengqing said as he put down the book, "Two days ago, I received so very interesting information."
"What?"
"In the southeast, in Canglang Country, a Peak Nascent Soul demon cultivator appeared. Guess who dealt with it?"
"A demon cultivator at the Peak of Nascent Soul must at least be a Fetal Movent Realm cultivator, right?"
Li Zhengqing shook his head, "No. It was Fan Wubing. And it was instant killing."
The woman was taken aback, "This... Fan Wubing is a Fetus Movent Realm cultivator? Fifteen years old, Fetal Movent Realm?"
Li Zhengqing chuckled, "If he were truly just a fifteen-year-old Fetal Movent Realm cultivator, he wouldn't catch the attention of the Wangxian Pavilion. His cultivation level should be around the Fourth-Layer Nascent Soul, at most the fifth layer."
The woman was shocked, her voice trembling, "Middle Stage of Nascent Soul, instant killing a Peak Nascent Soul demon cultivator? My god... is this true?"
"Of course, the Wangxian Pavilion's interest in him is largely because he excavated the roots of the Peach Blossom Spring."
"I've heard about that."
Li Zhengqing laughed, "So, the Wangxian Pavilion is eagerly anticipating Fan Wubing's arrival to the Changsheng Continent. They want to test his abilities. After all, Little South Continent isn't considered much of a proving ground. Many small places have produced brilliant talents, but once those talents reach a larger world, they quickly beco diocre. Whether Fan Wubing is a true genius remains to be seen."
"Let's wait and see."
...
In Yunyong City, at a street corner.
Wei Changkong looked guilty, "Sorry, Junior Brother Wubing, for making you co all this way."
Fan Wubing shook his head, looking at Wei Changkong, "Senior Brother Wei, tell what exactly happened?"
"Junior Brother Wubing, you have to believe , I would never do such a thing. Soone must have impersonated to fra . The Treasure Heart Pavilion claims I severely injured their debt collectors at the Yunyong High Slope, but I wasn't even there at that ti."
"Then where were you?"
"About a month ago, I was hunting monsters in the Purple Heart Mist Forest near Yunyong High Slope to earn money, and I had nearly gathered enough for the loan. Then, I suddenly felt a unique sensation, a feeling as if I was about to comprehend a heavenly opportunity. Such feelings are rare, so I risked the loan's overdue penalties and went into seclusion on the spot. That seclusion lasted a month and a half."
"Did you break through?"
"No." Wei Changkong laughed bitterly, "After going into seclusion, I completely lost that sensation. Trouble never cos alone, and as soon as I ca out of seclusion, the Treasure Heart Pavilion found . I resisted a little and was imdiately subdued with over a dozen Soul Capturing Talismans. That's what you saw."
"How could it be so coincidental? Coming out of seclusion and getting caught imdiately?"
"I'm not sure either."
"Could it be that the Heaven and Earth Bank orchestrated this?"
Wei Changkong shook his head, "The Heaven and Earth Bank is a major power. Although this is just a branch in Little South Continent, the ones in charge are directly transferred from the headquarters and are supervised by them. It's impossible for them to do sothing like that."
"Then perhaps you've offended soone? Soone framing you?"
"I haven't offended anyone lately."
Fan Wubing said, "To deceive the Treasure Heart Pavilion's ability to find people… it would an that the impostor must have almost perfectly imitated your aura and had a very realistic disguise. They must have had direct contact with you, right?"
"Aura imitation?"
In this aspect, Fan Wubing indeed had considerable experience.
Wei Changkong racked his brains, "In the past six months, I've been traveling alone, rarely having much contact with others… It can't be soone from the Eternal Immortal Sect trying to harm , right."
"In any case, let's first go to the scene at Yunyong High Slope."
"Alright!"
The two then left Yunyong City, heading towards Yunyong High Slope not far away.
