Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1058: Talking with San-Kong-Tian

'How is it possible that he has been in this room all this time without me being able to sense his presence at all? Even a Deity Monarch Stage cultivator on the same level as me would have a hard time hiding and escaping my detection. What about him!? He's only at the Deity Apprentice Stage!'

San-Kong-Tian, who was hiding in a dark corner in this dormitory, spoke up after he watched Zheng-Fu since the latter returned. Because he wanted to come and see to make sure where exactly Zheng-Fu had gone. But when he arrived, he sensed that Zheng-Fu had returned. However, he did not come to meet the young man directly. Instead, he hurriedly hid himself and listened to Zheng-Fu's explanation of where he had disappeared.

San-Kong-Tian was stunned when he heard Zheng-Fu say that he had not gone anywhere. He would never believe those words. However, he did not detect any signs of deception in his eyes or expressions when Zheng-Fu spoke. Everything that the young man expressed was very natural. That made San-Kong-Tian not discern whether Zheng-Fu was lying.

Back to Zheng-Fu's room...

"You guys, please stop asking me. Anyway, I still stand by my original answer, that I didn't go anywhere but stayed in my room to cultivate energy. Look! My energy has increased by one level!" As he finished speaking, Zheng-Fu also unleashed an energy wave that was one level higher than when he had disappeared, confirming that he was really in the room for energy cultivation.

Ah!

"Are you able to level up so quickly?" Yun-Xiang-Kong was extremely envious of Zheng-Fu for being able to level up energy so quickly. Because for him, it took three to four months to advance one more level. The fastest he could do was in two and a half months, but there had to be enough resources for him to cultivate.

"It's because I'm lucky." Zheng-Fu smiled as he raised his hand to rub the back of his head, pretending to be embarrassed. Before he continued, "By the way, what happened in the past month?"

"Over the past month, our force has been on a top-secret mission. It's a secret mission that only official members can participate in. We, therefore, have no right to participate. And many people who went on that mission were injured and killed. But there hasn't been any announcement from the Elder Council about what exactly happened. However, I think…"

Ahem!

Hah!?

"Respect, Force Leader!!!"

But before Zhe-Chun could finish speaking, San-Kong-Tian suddenly appeared with a cough, interrupting Zhe-Chun from finishing his speech. He did not expect the young man to know this well because the incident was forbidden from being discussed again until the Elder Council made an official announcement.

"Respect, Force Leader! You come here, do you have anything for us to do, sir? Zheng-Fu took a step forward and greeted San-Kong-Tian politely. His demeanor was very calm and cool.

"You don't seem surprised to see me. Or do you already know that I'm here?" San-Kong-Tian observed Zheng-Fu's expression and was shocked to see that Zheng-Fu looked so calm and stable. It was as if Zheng-Fu already knew he would come.

"Why did you ask like that? How could I have known that you would come to see me? I wasn't shocked because I'm a calm and collected person. By the way, what business do you have to come to see me, sir?" Zheng-Fu understood the meaning that San-Kong-Tian wanted to convey. And he would never be fooled or give any clue away before he changed the topic to ask about the purpose that San-Kong-Tian came to him.

"Erm...! First of all, may I speak to you privately?" San-Kong-Tian turned to look at Zhe-Chun and Yun-Xiang-Kong back and forth, indicating that he wanted to speak with Zheng-Fu privately.

"Then we'll excuse ourselves first, Force Leader!"

Both Zhe-Chun and Yun-Xiang-Kong understood and knew that they should not stay there any longer. They hurriedly excused themselves from the room and closed the door.

Bang!

"They're all gone. Force Leader, is there something important?" Zheng-Fu did not think San-Kong-Tian would have something so important to discuss with him that even required a private conversation like this. He could not guess what it was.

"This matter is crucial! You must have heard what Zhe-Chun said about the secret mission. Normally, a new member like you wouldn't have the right to know. But you're an exception. Because I heard that you can get through Murky Valley alone. You also got Four Arms Mole's monster soul from there. And I assume you have the remains of the Savage Scaled Snake King with you, right?"

San-Kong-Tian had already examined this matter very well. He knew the dangers of Murky Valley. Although it was not a dangerous place for him, it was dangerous for a new force member like Zheng-Fu. He sent someone to investigate and found that the Savage Scaled Snake King had been killed. There were also some Genuine Deity Stage monster beasts missing. He, therefore, suspected that it was all Zheng-Fu's action.

"Regarding the Four Arms Mole Monster, I admit I got it from there. But I wasn't the one who killed it. Because at the time I met it, it was almost dead. And when I was about to kill it, it suddenly died. Then its soul floated up before me. So, I picked it up. As for the Savage Scaled Snake King's remains, I don't have them. But if it's a normal Savage Scaled Snake Monster Beast, I have several of them. Because I fought with them a little when I entered. Just those ordinary ones made me almost unable to survive!"

Zheng-Fu would never accept this. But regarding Four Arms Mole Monster, he had to accept it. Because he had given it to Zhe-Chun and had also told him where he had gotten it. Therefore, he had to make up a lie, hoping San-Kong-Tian would believe him.

"Is that so?" San-Kong-Tian tried to catch Zheng-Fu as he spoke. But no matter how he observed, he did not find that Zheng-Fu was lying. So, he could only shake his head helplessly, before asking further, "Then which route do you take to pass through Murky Valley?" This question would be the thing that would confirm his thoughts.

"I took the normal route. Which route had few monster beasts, I took that one. And when I traveled there and back, there weren't many monster beasts, so I was able to easily dodge them." Judging from the previous question, Zheng-Fu guessed that San-Kong-Tian would have asked this question. So, he was able to answer without hesitation as if everything had actually happened. But in reality, he was not lying because when he was traveling, no monster beasts really stood in his way. Except for the flock of Savage Scaled Snake Monster Beasts and their king.

Umm!

"By the way, what does this have to do with the secret mission, sir, Force Leader!?" Of course, Zheng-Fu would not allow San-Kong-Tian any more time to come up with the other questions to reproach him. Changing the subject, he asked about the secret mission that San-Kong-Tian wanted to talk to him about.

Sigh!

"I came to you because I thought you would have the ability to conceal yourself. Because this secret mission required someone with that kind of ability to break through a large group of monster beasts. But since you were only able to pass through Murky Valley because of luck, then I have nothing to discuss with you."

San-Kong-Tian did not say anything else. At first, he thought that Zheng-Fu would have the greatest camouflage ability or technique. Because he knew the abilities of the Savage Scaled Snake Monster Beasts well. If Zheng-Fu could get past them without having to fight them, then he was capable enough to carry out this mission for them. But when things did not go as he thought, he had nothing to say.

Of course, if Zheng-Fu knew what San-Kong-Tian was thinking, he would laugh until his stomach hurt. Because in reality, he could not escape the detection of those Savage Scaled Snake Monster Beasts. But he survived because he chased and killed every single one of them.

"Then I'll walk you downstairs, sir. Because I want to go get something to eat!" Zheng-Fu lightly nodded to San-Kong-Tian to show that he understood, before cutting off the conversation because he was hungry and wanted to get something to eat.

"All right! Then let's all go down together!" San-Kong-Tian did not expect Zheng-Fu to say such a thing. Still, he did not refuse.

The two of them immediately came out of the room and walked downstairs. When they reached the ground floor, the members of the Third Dormitory were curious and gossiping all around. No one thought that the Force Leader would come to Zheng-Fu himself like this. Even the members from other dormitories heard this news and came to see it with their own eyes as well.

"That's really Force Leader!"

"Why did Force Leader come to see that new kid?"

"Or is that the new kid who disappeared for a month without being found?"

Hah!?

"Is that him?"

Many questions arose at that time. They all talked about various things. Some said that Zheng-Fu was the Force Leader's secret son. Some said that Zheng-Fu was a relative of the Force Leader's clan. Some even thought about the scandal that Zheng-Fu and the Force Leader were dating. But of course, no one would bring this matter up for discussion elsewhere for fear of being severely punished.

"I'm going now. Next time, if you disappear again, please tell others first so that we won't be too worried about you!" Before leaving, San-Kong-Tian had some final words. As he finished speaking, his figure then immediately disappeared from Zheng-Fu and the other members.

"Then how do I tell the others, Force Leader? Since I really didn't disappear!" Zheng-Fu smiled in his heart as he muttered softly. Of course, he knew that San-Kong-Tian must have heard what he said.

Blop!

"Zheng-Fu, what did Force Leader say to you?" After San-Kong-Tian left, Yun-Xiang-Kong immediately rushed over and asked Zheng-Fu.

"Bring your ear closer and I'll tell you!" Zheng-Fu beckoned Yun-Xiang-Kong to bring his ear closer to him.

"What's it? What's the matter?" Yun-Xiang-Kong did not hesitate and immediately moved closer to hear what Zheng-Fu had to say.

"Force Leader told me not to interfere in other people's business!"

"You! You said I..."

Ha ha ha!

Zheng-Fu, Zhe-Chun, and the other members of the Third Dormitory all laughed with delight at Yun-Xiang-Kong's pouting expression. Because his face looked so funny when he was teased.

"How is it, Yun-Xiang-Kong! You like to interfere in other people's affairs. Get scolded sometimes, so you'll know how to behave!" Zhe-Chun did not miss the opportunity to add insult to injury, Yun-Xiang-Kong. He immediately taunted Yun-Xiang-Kong with satisfaction.

You!

"Come on! Next time, don't be nosy about other people's affairs!"

Zheng-Fu!

Ha ha ha!
