Avenue Stowaway

Kong Fang practiced until it was almost dark, then he stood up, took out the Xingyun Boat from his storage ring, and maneuvered the Xingyun Boat to fly quickly towards the Qi Sect.

The plain where the Dragon King dropped Kong Fang off was only a hundred or two hundred miles away from Qi Zong, so Kong Fang didn't spend much time getting back. It was only just getting dark at that time.

When they were still a few miles away from Qi Zong, Kong Fang controlled the Xingyun Boat to land on the ground. After folding up the Xingyun Boat, Kong Fang carefully walked quickly towards the mountain where Huoyun Hall was located.

On the mountain behind Huoyun Hall, in front of Kong Fang’s courtyard.

Fangtou was blocking the door with a determined look. Two or three meters in front of Fangtou stood two people, one of whom was Li Sen, the nominal senior brother of Huoyun Hall, who was full of resentment due to jealousy. Standing next to Li Sen was Yin Wanshui, who followed his lead.

"Fangtou, get out of my way." Li Sen said in a commanding tone.

"You are just a follower. We came here to find Junior Brother Kong Fang. What's the meaning of you always blocking our way? Is this what your master taught you?" Yin Wanshui smiled grimly and teased Fangtou with words.

Fangtou, who looked honest, refused to give in and said in a stern voice, "Brothers, please go back. Brother Kong said before he went into seclusion yesterday that he had some insights into the method of refining weapons recently and wanted to take the opportunity to study it carefully. No matter who comes during this period, he will not see them." After that, Fangtou shut up. He looked straight ahead, ignoring Li Sen and Yin Wanshui as if they were air. His body did not move, blocking the small door of the courtyard tightly.

Li Sen's eyes widened, his face full of anger. "I came here three times today, and you stopped me three times. Do I need your consent, a servant-like follower, to meet my own junior brother? Besides, Junior Brother Kong will compete with Su Yun in weapon refining tomorrow, so how could he be in seclusion today? He must have come out of seclusion now. Go and inform him that I came to exchange weapon refining methods with him. Although my weapon refining level is not as high as Junior Brother Sun Hao's, I have rich experience in weapon refining, which will definitely help Junior Brother Kong. No matter what, we are all disciples of Huoyun Hall, and we can't let the people of Tianji Hall suppress our people of Huoyun Hall."

"You are right. I am a servant, but I am Senior Brother Kong's servant, not yours. I only listen to Senior Brother Kong. No one can disturb him before he comes out of seclusion." Fangtou's voice became colder, and a hint of anger appeared on his face.

Although the status of followers and servants is not much different, both of them need to take care of their masters and do things for their masters. But Kong Fang never treated Fangtou as a servant, but always treated him as a junior brother. He not only did not let him do anything, but also took great care of him. Fangtou always remembered these favors in his heart, but he was not able to help at all, which made him feel very guilty. This time, he finally had the opportunity to do things for his senior brother, so how could he be afraid of Li Sen and Yin Wanshui, the two inner disciples, and back off.

"You..." Li Sen pointed at Fang Tou angrily, and was so angry that he couldn't speak for a moment.

Li Sen and Yin Wanshui did not come here to exchange weapon-making methods with Kong Fang. Li Sen, who wished that Kong Fang could not make weapons, would not tell Kong Fang his own weapon-making methods for reference. His real purpose of coming here was to disturb Kong Fang's mind and make him lose to Su Yun in tomorrow's competition.

Kong Fang, as a disciple of Huoyun Hall, was defeated by a disciple of Tianji Hall. Elder Qingfan certainly did not value Kong Fang as much as before. Kong Fang, who had lost, might not be able to bear the blow and give up on himself, and his weapon refining ability would stagnate forever. Even if all these could not come true, Li Sen was not afraid, because he had a backup plan. As long as Kong Fang lost, he could make sure that Kong Fang could no longer stay in Huoyun Hall.

Therefore, Li Sen came early this morning to implement the plan, but what he didn't expect was that Fangtou blocked the door and refused to let him in, so his plan had to be put on hold.

Li Sen came again at noon, but still failed to get through the door. Seeing that it was getting dark, he knew that his plan would be ruined if he could not see Kong Fang again. Li Sen was anxious, so he asked Yin Wanshui to come and give him some advice.

"Brother, this dog servant must be deliberately blocking us from seeing Junior Brother Kong. Junior Brother Kong might not even know we are coming. Otherwise, given our relationship as brothers, how could Junior Brother Kong refuse to see us?" Yin Wanshui said sinisterly.

Hearing this, Li Sen's eyes lit up and he said, "Junior brother is right, it must be like this."

Fangtou's expression changed, "What do you want to do?"

"What? Why do I need to tell you, a servant?" Yin Wanshui glanced at Fangtou with disdain and said, "If it weren't for the fact that you are Junior Brother Kong's servant, I would have killed you long ago. How dare you speak in front of us inner hall disciples? You really don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is."

"Junior Brother Kong, I heard that you will be competing with Su Yun from Tianji Hall in weapon refining tomorrow, so I have come to discuss weapon refining methods with you so that you can help our Huoyun Hall defeat Tianji Hall and bring glory to our Huoyun Hall." Li Sen suddenly cast a spell and shouted.

"Shut up." Fangtou's face changed drastically.

Fangtou knew very well that Kong Fang was not in the courtyard at all. If Kong Fang could not come out after Li Sen cast a spell and shouted, it would definitely arouse suspicion. After all, the courtyard was not big, and even a loud shout could be heard by people in the courtyard, let alone casting a spell and shouting.

Li Sen's voice echoed inside and outside the courtyard. After waiting for a while, the courtyard was still quiet and no one responded to Li Sen's words.

Li Sen's face darkened. "Does Junior Brother Kong dislike me so much? Or maybe Junior Brother has become more skilled in refining weapons and looks down on my refining methods, so he doesn't even want to see me."

The courtyard was still quiet, without any sound coming out.

"Shut up right there." Fang Tou suddenly shouted, "Senior Brother Kong is in retreat. Are you trying to kill him by yelling like this? I'm going to tell Elder Qing Fan that you have bad intentions and are deliberately disrupting his retreat."

Fangtou's face turned red with anxiety. If Li Sen continued to shout like this, the fact that Kong Fang was not in the courtyard would be exposed.

Hearing that Fang Tou was going to find Elder Qing Fan, Li Sen suddenly became nervous and felt a little uneasy. He had indeed come to find Kong Fang with bad intentions. Once Elder Qing Fan knew about this, not only would he be unable to carry out his plan, he might even be punished.

"You, a lowly servant, actually dare to ask the inner-hall disciples to shut up. I think you are tired of living. Today, I will teach you on behalf of Junior Brother Kong, so that you can understand what hierarchy is." Yin Wanshui sneered, rushed over, clenched his fist, and the fire power burst out from his fist, the momentum was very terrifying.

Yin Wanshui has been practicing for several years, and the soul refining methods and cultivation techniques he obtained are much better than Fangtou's. His strength is simply not something Fangtou, who has only practiced for half a year, can contend with. In addition, Fangtou has no defensive methods, so if he is hit by Yin Wanshui, he will be seriously injured.

Fangtou's face changed. At this time, he could only retreat into the small courtyard to avoid Yin Wanshui's attack. But once he retreated into the small courtyard, Li Sen and Yin Wanshui would definitely follow him in. He could stop the two at the door, but he couldn't stop them after they entered.

Fangtou suddenly clenched his teeth, his eyes became extremely determined, and he suddenly opened his arms and grabbed the walls on both sides of the door, trying to use his flesh and blood body to block Yin Wanshui's attack.

"Senior brother said that we must not let anyone know that he left the courtyard, so no one can step in. Even if I die, I will stop them for senior brother." Fangtou roared in his heart, staring at Yin Wanshui who was attacking him.

"If Fangtou loses a hair, I will chop off one of your hands. If Fangtou is injured, I will take half of your life." Suddenly, a cold and murderous voice was heard from the courtyard.
