anwhile, Yan Xiaohu, who had been guarding outside, suddenly felt a slight tremor in the ground and heard a faint dragon’s roar coming from inside the manor.
He imdiately beca extrely anxious. The people guarding the main door were also shocked, and two of them left to investigate.
Just as Yan Xiaohu was about to force his way in, he suddenly saw a sneaky figure slowly appear. The figure had a piece of clothing over his head, his belly bulging, and was cautiously inching towards the main door.
Oddly, the gatekeepers didn’t see a thing.
"This is fucking ridiculous!" Yan Xiaohu couldn’t help but curse.

The note above Yan Xiaohu’s head quickly changed from [The Badass Junior Brother] to [God-like Junior Brother].
Once Zhou Qing had snuck out, those guarding the door seed to receive an order and imdiately shut the gate and activated the Restriction Barrier.
"Fourth Brother!" Yan Xiaohu hurried over.
Zhou Qing tore off the clothing from his head, his face pale.
The cost of using the "Silver Dragon Hand" was too great.
"Hurry up!" After pulling an old hen out from his bosom, Zhou Qing hurriedly fled with Yan Xiaohu...
Very soon, news spread that soone had broken into the manor rented by the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect last night and spied on more than forty female disciples bathing.
Up until now, the peeping tom hadn’t been caught, but investigations confird that he wasn’t a male disciple from Cyan Feather Immortal Sect and that he had co prepared.
Soon, portraits started being swiftly printed, and the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect vowed that they wouldn’t let this matter rest.
The reason being that there were five core disciples in the hot spring that night, and their reputations couldn’t be sullied in any way.
Zhou Qing slowly opened his eyes, the top-grade spirit stone in his hand had dimd considerably.
"Finally recovered!"
After putting away the spirit stone, Zhou Qing reflected on last night, feeling quite fortunate.
He almost got himself caught; he vowed never to act so impulsively ever again.
Then, he looked at the old hen sleeping soundly beside him and smiled bitterly.
Stretching his hand out, a spirit egg appeared.
This egg had been laid in his bosom during their escape last night, and its purity was better than the last one.
It was probably due to being fed top-grade spirit stones directly.
"This can’t be absorbed carelessly; it needs to be saved for crucial monts!" Zhou Qing murmured to himself, then carefully stored it away.
Just then, there was a knock at the door, followed by Yan Xiaohu’s hearty laughter.
"Fourth Brother, hurry up and take a look at this. It’s so funny. Is this how creepy you looked last night?"
As soon as Zhou Qing opened the courtyard gate, Yan Xiaohu rushed in holding a portrait.
When Zhou Qing looked at it, his face imdiately darkened.
The portrait depicted a sleazy figure, half-slumped with a piece of clothing over his head, clutching an old hen tightly.
Seeing Zhou Qing’s full-faced embarrassnt, Yan Xiaohu couldn’t help but tease, "This portrait has gone viral in Fla Dragon City. Nearly everyone has a copy. Of course, most of the n admire you greatly, all guessing who the masked man might be."
Zhou Qing’s expression changed.
He instinctively looked at the old hen; it seed he couldn’t take it out for a stroll anyti soon.
Yan Xiaohu, overco with curiosity, asked, "Fourth Brother, tell , how did you manage to make those people not see you last night? I pondered it all night without figuring it out."
Zhou Qing felt completely miserable and didn’t have the mood to explain.
Many people had seen him taking the hen out, plus it had gone missing last night.

Before Zhou Qing could speak, the system prompts sounded continuously in his mind.
It had to be Lu Yaoyao, Li Daoxuan, Senior Sister Shi Zhen, and Second Uncle who found out. He was bound to just five people, and the note for Senior Brother Yan hadn’t changed at all.
This ti, he was utterly humiliated.
"You two troublemakers, get over here now!"
Just then, their master’s voice, Mo Xingjian, echoed simultaneously in their ears.
It was clear; Old Mo was furious.
The two exchanged glances, trembling in fear.
"One word: deny everything!" Yan Xiaohu said.
Zhou Qing nodded repeatedly.
They couldn’t admit to any of it, or they’d be forever branded as peeping lunatics.
Why am I so unlucky?
"Wait a mont!" Just as they took a few steps, Yan Xiaohu seed to think of sothing. Zhou Qing had just stopped when a punch the size of a sandbag landed on him.
Caught off guard, Zhou Qing’s nose bled profusely, and he fell to the ground.
"Senior Brother Yan, what are you doing?" Zhou Qing cried out in pain, tears streaming.
Yan Xiaohu clapped his hands, seemingly satisfied with his work.
"I saw Cyan Feather Immortal Sect people heading up the mountain as I ca over. When your face swells up, they won’t recognize you." Yan Xiaohu said earnestly.
Zhou Qing got up, stunned, and took out the portrait, pointing at the clothing over his head, yelling, "I didn’t even show my face!"
Yan Xiaohu froze, his face turning red.
He had forgotten in his haste.
"Sorry, sorry. You can raise your heels to appear taller. Then even if they identify you, they won’t suspect you." Yan Xiaohu slapped his thigh, coming up with another idea.
Zhou Qing looked down, thinking this seed sowhat reliable.
Soon after, when Zhou Qing, with his red nose and awkward gait, entered the main hall, he imdiately saw disciples from Cyan Feather Immortal Sect, and even the gatekeeper from last night.
Their master Mo Xingjian sat at the top, his face dark.
"It’s them!"
Before they could salute, a disciple of Foundation Establishnt Realm Great Perfection imdiately pointed at Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu.
"What’s going on? What happened? This junior brother looks familiar, but I can’t seem to rember." Yan Xiaohu said innocently, looking at everyone.
The Foundation Establishnt disciple reported to Senior Sister Cui, "Senior Sister Cui, last night was when both tried to break into the manor, saying they were looking for a hen."
Cui Yingying imdiately glanced at them.
When Zhou Qing saw her face, his heart skipped a beat.
She was the Golden Core Realm expert who attacked him first last night, her aura no weaker than Senior Brother Yan’s.
Yan Xiaohu snapped his fingers in realization.
"I thought this junior brother looked familiar. Turns out we t last night. Bravery can’t be forced; good, good. We reflected later that breaking into soone’s place at night was indeed inappropriate. Fortunately, my brother and I took advice and left for the sect imdiately after!"
Yan Xiaohu lied smoothly.
The Foundation Establishnt disciple scratched his head, looking at Cui Yingying again.
After all, they didn’t enter, and the elders confird that the manor’s restrictions weren’t tampered with.
Cui Yingying didn’t speak but scrutinized Yan Xiaohu’s physique before dismissing him.
Then she looked at Zhou Qing.
Her brows furrowed, Zhou Qing’s heart raced, but she slightly shook her head, and his hanging heart finally settled.
She then saluted Mo Xingjian, "Master Mo, it wasn’t them."
Mo Xingjian was stunned.
Cui Yingying said, "The intruder was thinner than Senior Brother Yan and shorter than Junior Brother Zhou. I acted impulsively."
Mo Xingjian laughed, waving his hand.
"No worries. If these two were the culprits, I would never let them off easily!" Mo Xingjian said sternly.
Cui Yingying and the others expressed their gratitude, then she asked, "May I ask Junior Brother Zhou a question?"
"Ask away!" Mo Xingjian said.
