"The Li clan has too much power!"
A person drinking smashed the table in half. The other people inside the room weren't startled. In fact, they were annoyed!
"So, what's the next plan?"
One of the people inside the room was dressed mysteriously. He was the only one not drinking.
"Well, the first is a fail..."
"Why would you mistake the trash's hair to his father's?!"
"Well, even if we successfully made the powder, it's not like a bunch of commoners can defeat Li Fu."
The person sitting quietly suddenly spoke up.
"Hahaha, a bunch of weak trash!"
The people around the broken table whispered to each other.
"Who is this foreigner?"
.....
The administrator stared at Li Bai for a while. It seems like he hasn't got out of his daze yet. The guard, however, walked towards Li Bai.
"Li... Li Bai?"
Li Bai looked around the room more, not knowing where he was. Unfamiliar with the place, he started asking the guard.
"Yes, it is I. Now, where are we?"
The guard was startled. He didn't expect Li Bai to casually respond like that. He expected Li Bai to be more shook.
Li Bai waited anxiously for the guard's answer. He got impatient and found another person behind the guard, planning to ask him instead. When he looked, he found a door behind the other person. It looked like that person was protecting the door, leaning on it.
The administrator finally regained his senses and saw Li Bai walking towards him. Li Bai was, of course, popular for his weakness, so it was only natural that he recognized him immediately.
Li Bai tapped the person blocking the door and spoke.
"Excuse me, sir. Where am I?"
Li Bai was confused as well. He was supposed to end up on the stairs. Why was he in this mysterious dark room? Did someone pick up the ring?
The administrator didn't like discriminating but in the way that he treats all people badly. As such, he also didn't treat Li Bai well and pushed him away.
Li Bai was annoyed by this arrogant guy. I asked nicely, didn't I? He was tired of putting up this nice guy shtick. He thought of a plan to get rid of this nuisance in front of him.
He went back into the ring, disappearing yet again in front of the guard's eyes, but this time, the administrator too bore witness. The administrator rubbed his eyes and picked up the fallen ring.
He furrowed his eyebrows and threw it out of his room. He then snatched the bottle of Marking Pills from the guard's hand, then sat on his chair again, returning to his original sinister position. He was in a bad mood today.
As soon as the guard noticed that the bottle has been stolen from him, he opened his mouth. Just as he did, however, the administrator waved his hand.
"Get out!"
.....
The ring ended up outside of the tall tower, what with all the power the administrator threw the ring with. It continuously rolled until it reached the outer part of the Zhou clan's marketplace.
The ring hovered again and everyone that was present witnessed this weird phenomenon. Li Bai slowly appeared, but this time, with a beautiful woman.
He had brought Jin He along to get rid of any nuisances that got in his way. Jin He, after all, was at the peak of the Godly Mark realm. Only a handful of people in the country could handle her.
Every one of the males stared at Jin He, making her feel disgusted. They drooled at the sight of this girl, second only to Li Bao.
"Master, let's get out of this place quickly."
Li Bai hastened his steps until he made it back to the Li clan's territory. He walked back to the gate with Jin He in tow.
The guards stationed at the gate saw Li Bai coming and readied to open the gate, albeit hesitantly. They saw another figure with Li Bai, a beautiful woman. They almost drooled but held back and maintained control of themselves. Why are there so many beauties?
"Young master, who is this?"
Li Bai got nervous. He didn't know how to explain it to the guards, so he just gestured to Jin He to come closer.
"What is it, master?"
"Ummm, please come back inside the ring."
"That is fine with me."
Jin He immediately disappeared, with the ring glowing briefly. Li Bai acted dumb and looked towards the guards again.
"Who? Who are you talking about?"
"Huh?"
The guards couldn't believe what they were seeing, or rather, what they were not seeing. The woman had disappeared! The guards rubbed their eyes and looked again, only to end in disappointment.
"*sigh* Please pardon us..."
The guards let Li Bai in while contemplating the beautiful lady that they saw. "A mirage", they thought. They were too tired and thought that they started seeing things.
Li Bai walked to the mansion, specifically, his father's office. He knew he couldn't keep this a secret from his father. Besides, he was planning to take in a bunch of disciples anyway, why not start now?
He arrived at his father's front door and knocked.
"Father..."
"Come in."
He went into the room and sat on a chair.
"Father, I have someone to introduce to you."
Li Fu was concerned. Li Bai never had any friends. He never showed interest in getting some either. Now, who could he possibly want to introduce?
"She's my disciple."
Disciple?! Li Fu was shocked at this. After all, Li Bai is weak. Why would anyone want to become his disciple? He wasn't trying to be mean, but rather, he was trying to be realistic. Wait... 'she'?
Li Bai let Jin He out of the ring.
"Father, this is Jin He."
Li Fu was even more shocked! A beautiful woman such as herself, a disciple of his young son?!
However, like before, Li Fu didn't want to show any of his emotions and maintained his stern expression.
"Uh, son. What's her cultivation level?"
"Fifth Level Godly Mark 50-gems."
Li Fu fainted.
