"Alright, Instructor Zhu, I have fulfilled my mission!" Zhang Hao looked at Zhu Yuncai and smiled slightly.
Zhu Yuncai carefully examined her birthmark. Indeed, her birthmark was completely gone. She immediately looked at Zhang Hao with great joy and said, "It's really gone! That's great!"
This birthmark had troubled Zhu Yuncai for many years. Now that it was gone, Zhu Yuncai felt very happy. Looking at Zhang Hao's eyes, her gaze softened considerably.
"Alright, I, this instructor, keep my word. You helped me eliminate this birthmark, so our previous grievances are now completely settled," Zhu Yuncai said, looking at Zhang Hao.
"Alright then, I'll be going!" Zhang Hao didn't want to interact with this Zhu Yuncai any further right now.
Although this Zhu Yuncai was incredibly beautiful, Zhang Hao didn't really want to continue interacting with her. What if she suddenly got the urge to castrate him?
"Wait!"
Zhu Yuncai called out to Zhang Hao again. Zhang Hao's heart turned cold, and he thought to himself, 'As expected, she's really not letting me go?'
"Thank you!" Zhu Yuncai said to Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao let out a sigh of relief. Just as he reached the door, with his back to Zhu Yuncai, he said, "Instructor Zhu, that place of yours is really beautiful."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuncai's cheeks immediately flushed. She stomped her foot fiercely and said, "Hooligan..."
Being teased by a student was the first time for Zhu Yuncai.
For the next period of time, Zhang Hao focused on consolidating his martial arts theory. For him, if his martial arts theory was solid, it would be of great help in improving his strength.
Before participating in the Martial God Ranking challenge, Zhang Hao planned to go to the Outer Courtyard to see Dou Bi, Ying Da, Yun Qiuyu, and others.
One day, Zhang Hao was practicing Martial Skills in the courtyard when suddenly, a familiar figure came to visit. It was Ning Xue.
"Ning Xue, why are you here?"
Zhang Hao stopped his punch and stood, looking at Ning Xue with slight surprise. Since Ning Xue entered the Inner Courtyard, they hadn't seen each other for a long time, but he didn't expect her to come visit him now.
"If I didn't come, you might have forgotten about this girl by now!" Ning Xue said to Zhang Hao with a hint of resentment.
Zhang Hao gave a sheepish smile. He quickly said to Ning Xue, "What are you saying? Do I look like that kind of person? It's just because I entered the Inner Courtyard and there's been a ton of things to do. But, Lord Ning Xue, will you accept my apology?"
"Hmph, seeing as you seem sincere, I'll forgive you then," Ning Xue said to Zhang Hao with a giggle.
Zhang Hao looked at Ning Xue and smiled, "Ning Xue, why do you have so much free time to come today?"
Ning Xue smiled slightly and said, "Because I'm bored. Compared to the Inner Courtyard, I prefer going to the Outer Courtyard."
"Alright then! Let's go to the Outer Courtyard together. It's been a few months since I entered the Inner Courtyard, and I wonder how Ying Da and Dou Bi are doing now. I miss them quite a bit," Zhang Hao nodded and said.
"Then what are we waiting for! Let's go! You heartless fellow, you probably entered the Inner Courtyard and got involved with Zhu Yuncai, Ye Yunshang, and a few other enchantresses, having such a good time you forgot about home, didn't you?" Ning Xue let out a cold snort.
Zhang Hao gave a sheepish smile and said to Ning Xue, "What are you talking about? Are you jealous?"
Ning Xue jumped up like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on. She said to Zhang Hao with great disdain, "Are you crazy? Me, jealous? Only if the sun rises from the west."
Zhang Hao brought Ning Xue, Song Sitian, and a few other girls to the Outer Courtyard.
In the Outer Courtyard, the three of them, Zhang Hao, arrived at Ying Da's residence. They walked straight in.
"Who are you?" A burly Martial Warrior looked at Zhang Hao and shouted.
Zhang Hao was slightly taken aback and asked the burly Martial Warrior, "Isn't this where Ying Da lives? Why are you living here now?"
Zhang Hao looked at the burly Martial Warrior and asked in a deep voice.
The burly Martial Warrior let out a cold snort and said, "That was a month ago. This residence is mine now. Who are you people? If you don't leave now, I won't be polite."
Zhang Hao sneered and said, "I'd like to see how you won't be polite to me."
"Seeking death!"
The burly Martial Warrior threw a punch, smashing towards Zhang Hao's head.
Zhang Hao let out a cold snort, neither dodging nor evading, and met the punch head-on.
With a "boom," an explosion sounded. The two fists met head-on in the air, colliding with each other.
The burly Martial Warrior let out a scream, his entire body retreated several steps, and his arm was bloody.
Zhang Hao swept forward like a shadow, grabbed the burly man by the neck, and said coldly, "Tell me, where is Ying Da, and how did you obtain this residence?"
The burly Martial Warrior's expression changed drastically. He spoke to Zhang Hao with fear, "I... I'll tell you. I obtained ownership here through a challenge."
"Slap!" "Slap!"
Zhang Hao gave the burly Martial Warrior over a dozen slaps. He roared, "Bastard, you dare to lie to me! With your Great Martial Master Seventh Level cultivation, you actually challenged the residence of a Great Martial Master Second Level Martial Warrior? Are you messing with me?"
Immediately, a cold aura erupted from Zhang Hao's body. He looked at the burly Martial Warrior and asked, "You can choose not to speak, but I will let you experience the power of the Bone Dislocation and Muscle Separation Technique."
Saying this, Zhang Hao poked the burly Martial Warrior's body with a finger.
"Ah!"
The burly Martial Warrior began to scream violently.
This Bone Dislocation and Muscle Separation Technique was a pain comparable to the Ten Great Tortures. The burly Martial Warrior's face was twisted in pain as he rolled on the ground. Soon, he couldn't bear it anymore. He quickly said, "I'll tell you... I'll tell you..."
The burly Martial Warrior quickly confessed everything truthfully. It turned out that after Zhang Hao entered the Inner Courtyard, the Tianlong Alliance people couldn't deal with Zhang Hao, so they started targeting the people around him. Dou Bi and Ying Da's residences were challenged by other Martial Warriors. According to the Tianlong Alliance's rules, Martial Warriors' living environments must be obtained through challenges. Ying Da and Dou Bi suffered consecutive defeats and have now completely lost their right of residence. They are currently living in a thatched hut in the Outer Courtyard.
Hearing this, Zhang Hao was instantly furious. It was the Tianlong Alliance people again. This Tianlong Alliance was truly persistent like a vengeful spirit. They couldn't deal with him in the Inner Courtyard, and now they were actually targeting his friends. Zhang Hao immediately became very angry.
Zhang Hao immediately threw the burly Martial Warrior out.
"Ning Xue, Sitian, let's go find Ying Da!" Zhang Hao said in a cold voice.
Song Sitian and Ning Xue exchanged glances. From Zhang Hao's voice, they could tell that Zhang Hao was extremely angry at this moment.
Outside a thatched hut in the Outer Courtyard, Zhang Hao looked at the dilapidated dwelling before him. The surroundings were very desolate, and the mud walls of the dwelling were mottled and simple, even worse than a beggar's dwelling.
"Damn it..."
Zhang Hao led Ning Xue and Song Sitian into the dwelling. They found white smoke curling up inside the house, along with a strong smell of medicine. Two men were lying on the bed, and a girl was boiling medicinal soup nearby.
"Qiu Yu?" Zhang Hao was slightly surprised.
