“Sorry, my pet is not for sale.” Kent replied while staring at Zi Chen, who is creating a drama.
Zi Chen gazed at Kent for a long time, thinking of how to subdue him. “Boy, are you sure you want to defy me?” Zi Chen uttered with bloodshot eyes.
Kent’s seriousness faded after listening to the threat from Zi Chen. “Sophie, it will be better if you explain this to your brother. He might think I’m fooling him if I say the truth.” Kent spoke with Sophia, who stood beside her brother, Zi Chen.
“You…” Zi Chen took a step forward with a fierce look. “How dare you mock me?” Zi Chen raised a threatening finger.
“Brother, don’t be an unreasonable man. Even if he wants to, Kent can’t sell his pet to you. The Fire Kirin acknowledged him as master.” Sophia hurriedly stood in between her brother and Kent.
“Bull shit… Sophie, how can you believe his nonsense? Boy, it’s better if you sell me your pet. Otherwise…” Zi Chen laughed with an evil grin, threatening Kent with an eye glare.
But Kent ignored him and began helping the Ronin family old man gather his things. Lucy, who knew Zi Chen as the number one disciple of the Eternal Sun sect, stood beside Kent with a worried face.
Angered by Kent’s actions, Zi Chen turned towards the head servant and said, “Toss this young man and his allies outside and imprison this Fire Kirin in the dark cell. If we don’t feed the Fire Kirin, it will automatically subdue like a dog.”
Hearing Zi Chen’s command, the head servant called for the other servants. Just as they took a step forward, Sophia blocked them while holding her Zither.
After seeing the zither in Sophia’s hands, the servants ran without even looking back. The head servant even rolled down to escape. As the servants of Chen family, they know the magical power of Sophia. Even though she is not as strong as her brother Zi Chen, she is proficient in mob combat, and she alone can face a hundred lower realm Magas.
“Sophie, what are you doing?” Zi Chen roared angrily as he hurriedly blocked his sister, who was preparing to play the Zither.
“I’m just doing what you did. I also know how to be unreasonable. So, behave yourself and act like the Chen family, young master.” Sophia replied with an angry glare.
While the siblings were arguing, Kent was staring at Sophia with wide, open eyes. Till now, he thought she was a scholarly, gentle girl. But he never expected this fierce side in Sophia’s character.
Lucy, who already knew about Sophia for a long time, felt relaxed from the moment Sophia took out her Zither.
As the old man was already finished gathering all his things, Kent and Lucy bowed to the old man in respect before waving a good-bye. Sitting on the moth, the old man slowly left the Chen family’s surroundings.
“Lucy, don’t forget to visit the healing sun peak after coming to sect. I have a few rare herbs to feed your pet.” Sophia said, waving a good-bye.
As Kent and Lucy sat on the Fire Kirin, it breathed golden fire and rose into the air with a long, fiery streak. With a cold smirk, Zi Chen walked away from his site.

Silver Leaf Town… Stokes family estate
Inside his house, Fatty Ben is happily filling his stomach with the delicious food prepared by his mother. As he is leaving for the capital soon, his mother didn’t hesitate to spend a lot of money to cook a large number of food items. For the past two days, eating and sleeping have been the only habits of Fatty Ben.
His father, Liam, had already sold several family properties and lands and gathered a large amount of gold coins for Ben. Till now, the count has reached 30,000 gold coins.
The marriage arrangement between Fatty Ben and the Song family first lady also called off. Even though the Song family made a big fuss about it and asked for compensation, Liam used his family name to break the marriage arrangement without paying a single penny.
In the last few days, Ben didn’t even place his foot outside the house, which saved him a lot of trouble.
Two figures, covered in black robes, lurked in one corner, waiting for the perfect moment to capture Fatty Ben. Those two figures were none other than Zambu and Fire Lotus.
“Fire Lotus, how long are we going to hide here? Listen to me; we will capture that fat guy and drag him out of his house. My one punch is enough to get the truth out of his mouth.” Zambu said it in a frustrated tone.
“Young master, please be patient. We will wait until tomorrow morning. If he still hides inside, then we will attack.” Fire Lotus suggested thinking of ways to drag Fatty Ben out of the house.

Golden Bamboo City…
On the top floor of the Moon Light Delicacy, Kent and Lucy sat opposite each other at a large dining table. Since one hour, Lucy has been speaking nonstop about Zi Chen and his sister Sophia. Kent, who got busy eating, continued to nod his head while she was talking.
“Lucy, how long is the Eternal Sun sect from here?” Kent asked suddenly, putting a full stop to her narrative.
“On your pet, we can reach it in one hour.” Lucy replied with a twitch.
“Then what about the Autumn Wind sect?” Kent asked again, thinking of Thea and Mia Snow.
“It’s just five moments away from here. Do you remember the large mountain at the center of Golden Bamboo City? That is where the Autumn Wind sect lay.
Along with these two sects, a third sect lay towards the north-western side of the city. That is the Jade Mountain sect, which is famous for body cultivators who practice earth element-based spells.” Lucy replied while grabbing a desert from Kent’s bowl.
