Chapter Seventy-Nine: Provoking Trouble

  The conference began with a long string of complex opening ceremonies and then entered the main topic - the control yuan teacher competition.

  This conference is divided into three stages of competition, namely the primary selection match, the preliminary round and the final. Each round will select a corresponding number of people to participate in the next stage of the competition, layer by layer, until the final selection of ten people who have the opportunity to participate in the National Royal Conference.

  This primary selection match was also the most participated competition, with all kinds of players, and their strengths were uneven. At this time, the scene was crowded with people, and various shouts rose one after another. However, the fighting scenes didn't have any attraction to Du Fei, who felt sleepy while watching. Unable to bear it anymore, Du Fei pulled Zong Ji Tian and left the viewing platform.

  The two of them found a place to drink tea, sat down and ordered a pot of tea to drink.

  "Haha, Jin San brother, what's wrong with you? Why didn't you continue watching the match?" asked Zu Ji Tian with a smile.

  "Hey, just sitting inside watching those guys compete is really boring. It's more comfortable to come out and have some tea. Do you think it's interesting?" Du Fei asked.

  Zuji Tian didn't respond, but instead smiled all over his face as he opened a folding fan and gently fanned himself. Du Fei saw Zuji Tian's carefree appearance and was also left speechless, picking up his teacup to drink the bitter tea.

  "Wow, look quickly, aren't you the most popular candidate for this year's championship?" A surprised voice came at this time. "Wow, it really is him, let's go take a look." Another voice responded to the previous surprised voice.

  Du Fei also heard the conversation earlier and looked up to see a few young men and women walking towards him from a short distance away, wearing the same clothes as the people on the viewing platform earlier. Compared to the previous group of people, they seemed even more arrogant and proud, with their heads held high and striding towards the teahouse where Du Fei was sitting. As they passed by, several people around them revealed envious glances. Du Fei also took a glance and felt that the person's aura was relatively stable and strong, and he also sensed that the other party's cultivation was above his own. However, he didn't dwell on the other party too much, continuing to drink his tea. For Du Fei, the level of one's cultivation couldn't completely explain their combat strength.

  Those young men walked past Du Fei, one of whom was a flattering young man who shouted at Du Fei: "Hey, put your feet away and don't block our lord's way."

  Du Fei felt a surge of anger upon hearing this, but just as he was about to erupt, he was stopped by Zu Ji Tian. Du Fei saw several young people walk over to the spot next to him and sit down, whereupon the tea shop owner greeted them with a smile all over his face.

  "Bring us your best tea and some of the most expensive food in your store, quickly! Don't waste our time." A man who looked to be around 17 or 18 years old said haughtily to the shopkeeper.

  "Yes, yes, everyone please wait a moment, I'll go and instruct the kitchen." The shopkeeper said with a bow.

  Several people didn't respond to the shopkeeper's words at all, as if it was a matter of course. Several people started talking.

  "Hey, I thought you'd already been admitted to the Royal Academy, why are you still participating in this provincial competition?" The speaker was the man who had ordered the shopkeeper around.

  "I didn't want to come either, but I had no choice. The master said that this time we must steadily and safely maintain our first place in the Zhongde City competition, so I have no choice but to participate." As he spoke, the man was fiddling with his fingers, with an extremely arrogant attitude, and this person was none other than Jue Er.

  "Haha, I think the master is worrying too much. Our Sino-German Academy's strength in this province, who can compare with us? I think it will be the same this year." The man said.

  "Agreed." everyone said in unison.

  "That's right, I also told Master that, but he still insisted on me coming back, can't help it!" Nian Ju raised his head and looked down at the crowd, saying: "I heard that Tian De Academy has a few students participating in the competition this year, and their strength is extremely outstanding. Those people are geniuses who appear only once every few decades within Tian De Academy. In order to be on the safe side, Master asked me to participate in the competition."

  "Oh, so you're referring to those few guys who are known as the Three Chivalrous Heroes of Tiān Dé?" the man said.

  "Oh, it's them. How did you know about them, Wenfeng?" Yan Jue tilted his head and looked at Wenfeng with a curious expression.

  "Hehe, I've heard of you, Junior Brother. Those are just rumors spread by well-meaning people. How can that De Academy compare to the one our Senior Brother is in?" Wen Feng said with a flattering tone.

  "Haha, it's you who can talk." The tone of this flattery was particularly loud and clear, and Nian Jue was delighted, with a joyful expression on his face. Everyone else saw Nian Jue's happy appearance and couldn't help but laugh along with him.

  "Hey, but I heard that among them there's a girl who is quite lovely. If you meet her, Brother Wen, you must have a gentle and caring heart." Wen Feng said with a smile.

  "Haha, if it's really like what you said, Brother Wen, then at that time I'll only have to cherish and pity her." Nian Jue also smiled with a hint of lewdness, and upon hearing his words, the group burst into another fit of loud laughter.

  "A group of idiots who don't know the height of the sky or the thickness of the earth." At this time, a very discordant voice came over, and it was Du Fei. Du Fei had also heard the conversation between several people earlier and felt a wave of nausea, but he couldn't hold it in anymore and spoke out. However, Kouyuan Shi's ears were originally quite sensitive, and Du Fei's words just now were completely heard by several people.

  With a loud "slap", Wen Feng slammed his hand on the table, stood up and glared at Du Fei, scolding: "Where did this rubbish come from? How dare you be so arrogant in front of me?"

  "Who are you scolding?" Du Fei asked.

  "Shut up." said Wen Feng. Just as Wen Feng finished speaking, Du Fei burst out laughing, and Zu Ji Tian was also amused by Wen Feng's words.

  But Wenfeng's anger was also reflected in his actions, as he prepared to take action against Du Fei, but was pulled back by Nian Jue. Wenfeng looked at Nian Jue, who signaled for him to sit down. Only then did Wenfeng reluctantly sit down, still visibly angry and glaring at Du Fei.

  "Haha, I'm saying, this friend of yours, you must be a Yuan Shi too, are you from Tian De Academy?" Nian Jue looked at Du Fei with a seemingly smiling yet not quite smiling expression.

  Du Fei didn't respond to Nian Jue's words at all, and just continued drinking his tea. Nian Jue saw that Du Fei wasn't giving him any face, and his face twitched involuntarily, his expression becoming somewhat angry. To know that Nian Jue was originally a proud person, and from a young age had been the teacher's favorite, with people fawning over him everywhere, who had ever treated him like this before? Thinking of this, Nian Jue said in a somewhat cold voice: "If you don't want to answer, then please tell me why you insulted us just now."

  "Hey, I'm saying, are you the one who heard me scolding you? What did I scold you for?" Du Fei tilted his head and glanced at the young noble.

  "You" was speechless with rage at Du Fei's response.

  "Little kid, I see you don't dare to admit it. If you don't admit it, let's see how I'll deal with you today." Wen Feng saw that Yan Jue was being bullied by Du Fei and couldn't take it anymore, so he took the opportunity to scold Du Fei for trying to curry favor with Yan Jue.

  "Ah, you want to fight? Come on, I've never been afraid of anyone." As he spoke, Du Fei stood up and rolled up his sleeves. Meanwhile, Zu Ji Tian still had a smile on his face as he watched the scene before him.

  "Looking for death." Wenfeng let out a loud shout and threw a punch at Du Fei. But Du Fei calmly caught Wenfeng's fist with one palm, tightly grasping his hand, and Wenfeng felt the power of Du Fei's palm, bending down in pain and kneeling on the ground, wailing. The crowd saw that Du Fei had easily neutralized Wenfeng's punch and also stood up alertly, ready to take action. But just then, the young master opened his arms to stop the crowd, saying: "Young man, your strength is not bad, I think you've also joined this competition, right?"

  Du Fei's eyes sparkled as he said with a smile: "That's right. What? You want to try it out with me now?"

  "Hmph, no need for that. I'm just telling you, if we meet again in the future, you'd better be careful. I won't take action against you now, as it would be unbecoming to fight in a place like this. I want to beat you until you beg for mercy in front of everyone, so come and register your name." Yan Jue looked at Du Fei with a self-satisfied expression.

  "Oh, is that so? Remember, my name is Jin San. If you can really beat me to the point of begging for mercy, then I'd be more than happy to oblige. Let's meet on the field at that time." Du Fei replied fearlessly.

  "Hmph, Jin San, I'll remember you. Let's go." Nian Jue said as he turned around and walked away with the others, disappearing from Du Fei's line of sight.

  Du Fei immediately sat down and picked up the teacup to take a sip of water. Looking at Zu Ji Tian beside him, who was staring at him with wide eyes, he asked: "What's wrong, do you have an opinion?"

  "Haha, no. Just checking if your hand was hurt by someone." As he spoke, Zujitian stretched out his hand and placed it on Du Fei's forehead.

  Du Fei's face sank as he asked, "What are you doing?"

  "Hehe, nothing, just checking if your brain is fried." Zu Ji Tian said with a smile.

  "I think you're looking for a fight." As he spoke, Du Fei stood up and raised his hand, making a gesture as if to hit someone. Zu Ji Tian also immediately leaned back in his chair, shaking his head and laughing: "Hehe, Brother Jin San, calm down, calm down, let's talk this out." Du Fei withdrew his raised arm and returned to his seat, while Zu Ji Tian sat up straight with a smile on his face, looking at Du Fei and saying: "I say, Brother Jin San, those people didn't provoke you, why did you go and stir them up?"

  "Look at him, your grandfather's, I just can't stand these self-righteous guys who don't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth." Du Fei said to Zu Ji Tian with a straight face.

  "Haha, Brother Du Fei is indeed a heroic person with heroic words. I admire you from the bottom of my heart." Zu Ji Tian said as he cupped his hands in respect towards Du Fei.

  "You're back again, what I dislike most about you is that you're so gentle like a woman." Du Fei said in an unpleasant tone.

  "Hehe, get used to it, get used to it." Zu Ji Tian smiled.

  "Never mind, let's not talk about it. Don't let a few clowns ruin our tea-drinking mood. Come on, have some tea." As he spoke, Du Fei picked up the teapot and poured tea into Zu Ji Tian's cup.
