Sensing the abundant Profound Qi s within Divine Fault, Du Shaofu revealed a slight smile on his face, hoping to make another breakthrough as soon as possible. If he could break through to the Pulsating Stage, his strength would probably be able to take a huge leap as well.
However, Du Shaofu hadn't forgotten Zhen Qingchun's words either. There was no need to rush to break through on the Innate Stage and level; the most important thing was to lay a solid foundation. Those super huge clans and the descendants of the ancient schools would never let their descendants break through too quickly. The foundation was the most important.
Otherwise, with the resources from the great clans and ancient schools, it would be sufficient to nurture many experts of the younger generation. However, once these experts reached a certain level of cultivation, it would be difficult to advance any further.
Inside the Lanling Prefecture, within the rear courtyard, Du Shaofu was called by the servant to eat breakfast, and just as he entered the hall, his eyes lit up.
A twenty-one to twenty-two year old girl was standing in the hall. She wore a long green dress, and her hair was tied up in a bun, accentuating her peerless appearance. Her eyebrows were slender, and her expression should have been gentle and gentle, but her eyebrows were slightly creased.
"How familiar."
Du Shaofu looked at the beautiful lady who was sizing her up. She did not move her eyes, and felt that she was somehow familiar with her.
Abruptly, Du Shaofu saw the faint bite marks on the lower lip of the beautiful woman, and his eyes widened in shock, "So you're actually this beautiful while pretending to be a woman."
Hearing Du Shaofu's words, it was hard to discern the least bit of emotion on Ouyang Shuang's impeccable face. Her red lips were tender, yet there was not a hint of a smile that could topple empires, and that cold demeanor was undoubtedly telling a stranger to stay away from Du Shaofu. She simply did not seem to recognize Du Shaofu at all.
"Shaofu, what's wrong with your nose?"
Yuan Shanshan walked over and saw Du Shaofu's injured nose the moment she entered the hall. She immediately asked anxiously as her heart ached.
"Aunt Shan, I accidentally bumped into it." Du Shaofu looked at Ouyang Shuang who was seated beside him without leaving a trace, and then replied Yuan Shanshan.
"Child, how could you be so careless? Your nose was injured so badly. Yesterday, your sister had her lips bitten as well. You two children!"
Yuan Shanshan let out a helpless sigh, then lovingly introduced Ouyang Shuang to him and said: "Come, let me introduce your sister to you. What I mentioned to you yesterday, is that she's three and a half years older than you.
"Sister Shuang." Du Shaofu immediately pretended to be extremely polite and arrived beside Ouyang Shuang, seeming to be extremely intimate and passionate.
"Yes."
Ouyang Shuang had no choice but to nod slightly in agreement. She had already known about this kid's identity from her mother, but she was a little surprised. This fellow's father was actually the person her father often mentioned, a person who was once famous.
"Sister Shuang, it can't be that you don't like me, why are you being so cold to me?"
Du Shaofu looked at Ouyang Shuang earnestly and said: "Is there anything that I don't like that I can change?"
The moment Du Shaofu finished speaking, he looked at Ouyang Shuang and scolded him gently: "Girl, how can you be so unenthusiastic towards your little brother? Your little brother has just arrived at the Lanling City, you can't bully your little brother."
Ouyang Shuang instantly stood up, and a smile appeared on her beautiful face. This smile was enough to topple cities, and she said to her mother: "Mother, I'm not cold towards my little brother. I was just thinking about cultivation.
"That's good. From now on, you must take care of your little brother. Don't let your little brother suffer any grievances." Yuan Shanshan earnestly said to Ouyang Shuang, then revealed a satisfied smile on his face.
"I will."
Ouyang Shuang nodded, then turned around with his back facing his mother, and looked at Du Shaofu. His face immediately sank, and within his large eyes, there was obvious rage and warning in his voice, which was exceptionally gentle. "Little Brother Shaofu, I will definitely take good care of you in the future."
How could Du Shaofu not see that Ouyang Shuang was obviously holding a grudge against him? He shifted his gaze and said: "Sister Shuang, then you won't hit me in the future, right?"
"Silly child, why would big sister hit little brother? If your sister dares to bully you, you tell me and I'll take care of her." One after another, they lovingly stroked Du Shaofu's forehead.
"Sister Shuang, you heard it. If you bully me, I will tell Aunt Shan." Du Shaofu weakly smiled as he spoke to Ouyang Shuang.
"You ?" Ouyang Shuang stomped his feet in anger, but because his mother was present, he could not do anything.
The servants in the manor had long since arranged for breakfast, which consisted of all kinds of exquisite snacks and porridge. Du Shaofu, on the other hand, wolfed down quite a few of them.
For cultivator, as one's cultivation grows stronger, it doesn't cause one to feel hungry. It is said that once one's strength reaches a certain level of cultivation, they will be able to completely leave the valley and won't have to eat anymore.
Du Shaofu now clearly felt that there was no problem even if he ate for a day now, but after seeing what he ate, he still couldn't help but covet it.2
Ouyang Shuang sat upright, and only tasted it lightly before stopping, and did not eat much.
On the other hand, Yuan Shanshan watched Du Shaofu from the side. He was afraid that Du Shaofu would not be full and so he continued to make Du Shaofu eat more.
Not long after, Ouyang Shuang took advantage of the situation and left.
Du Shaofu chatted with the Aunt Shan for a while before he left as well. Halfway there, he met Huang San and found out that Han Xin had come looking for him due to the Lanling Prefecture.
"He came to Lanling Prefecture for me, not mansion lord?" Du Shaofu had a face full of suspicion. After all, this was a Lanling Prefecture, not a Du Family.
"Young Master Shaofu, that's exactly what Han Xin said. I arranged for him to wait in the side chamber. Huang San especially said one sentence, and said: "He was carried here, that Lin brat was probably beaten up by Han Xin after we beat him up in the end. He looks pretty miserable, and is more or less dead."
Du Shaofu pondered for a moment, then said to Huang San: "Go and tell that Han Xin, I don't have time to see him."
"Young Master Shaofu, that Han Xin came should be here to explain the matter of the City Guard last night, I'm afraid." Huang San said.
"I know, but this has nothing to do with me. I'm not actually a person of Lanling Prefecture, so I won't interfere in this kind of matter." Du Shaofu nodded his head, how could he not know the purpose of Han Xin's visit.
It was with great difficulty that he managed to extricate himself from yesterday's matter. Now, Du Shaofu was not willing to get involved anymore.
Yesterday, Du Shaofu's original intention was to protect Murong Youruo and Dai Xingyu, but later on, because of Murong Youruo's message, they went to the Garden of Zhou. Now that he found out that Murong Youruo was protecting them, there was nothing to worry about.
"Then what if Han Xin doesn't leave, what if he comes to find Lord mansion lord?"
Huang San was a little worried that the matters last night would be made known to the City Lord.
Du Shaofu smiled lightly and interrupted Huang San's words, saying: "mansion lord is in closed door cultivation, and even if he wanted to, he wouldn't be able to find me. Furthermore, he won't look for me, and if he wants to look for me, it's his father.
Huang San nodded, as if he understood something, and said: "Young Master Shaofu, what about the captain of the City Guard s last night?"
"Didn't he pass it to the Lanling Prefecture private army? I believe the Head Zhang and the rest will know what to do." Du Shaofu said.
In the Lanling Prefecture, Du Shaofu didn't know what to do. He wanted to cultivate, but there was no suitable place for him to do so.
At noon, Du Shaofu left the Lanling Prefecture and went to the old house to find Dai Xingyu. The King Scale Demon Tiger still stayed in the old house.
It was just that when Du Shaofu arrived at the old house, he was stunned for a bit. He did not expect that Ouyang Shuang was also there, wearing the same woman's outfit from the morning.
"Roar!"
The King Scale Demon Tiger growled softly, as though it was facing an amnesty.
"Brother Shaofu." Dai Xingyu cordially arrived at Du Shaofu's side.
When Ouyang Shuang saw Du Shaofu, unhappiness gushed out from his eyes. As if Du Shaofu owed him hundreds of thousands of cultivation coins, he asked: "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to see Xingyu." Du Shaofu shot a glance at Ouyang Shuang, and said in his heart: Isn't it just biting you, grabbing at places that I shouldn't have, if only you had bitten me too.
"I didn't expect all of you to be one family. This really surprises me. If I had known this would not have happened last night." Murong Youruo gracefully walked to stand between Du Shaofu and herself, smiling with an apologetic gaze.
"It doesn't matter." Du Shaofu said generously, but Ouyang Shuang, who was at the side, stared fiercely at Du Shaofu.
Murong Youruo looked at Du Shaofu and said: "Shaofu, you came at the right time, we were planning to walk on the streets, why don't you come along too, how about it?"
"Alright, Brother Shaofu will accompany us. We aren't afraid of encountering bad people anymore." Dai Xingyu immediately said happily.
