Shen Wang clutched his chest and said speechlessly, "We are in love..."

Bang!

He was kicked away again, and Liu Da Rong scolded, "You're just taking advantage of the situation!"

"I'm also your disciple now, why the different treatment?"

Shen Wang replied unhappily, "I'm not bad either, alright? Besides, this is keeping the good things within the family, better than letting Yun Shu be harmed by someone like Xie Xianlong, don't you think?"

Liu Da Rong thought it made sense and could only grumble, "You're just lucky, kid."

Shen Wang got up and said with a smile, "It's just fate. Before saving her, I had only met her once, never thought we'd become a married couple."

"Ah, maybe it's destiny."

Liu Da Rong waved his hand, no longer hitting Shen Wang, and glanced at him, "Although we can't be completely sure if what you said is true, your story holds up, so I'll formally accept you as a named disciple today. Once the investigation results come back, it will be announced publicly."

"Why don't I continue acting under the name Wang Sheng? I'm innocent anyway, and having an extra identity helps protect my family."

Shen Wang made his request, keeping Wang Sheng's identity, so even if he offended someone, his family would still have some protection.

"Are you afraid the Xie Family will destroy your Shen Family?"

Liu Da Rong asked back, "Not necessarily, your Shen Family is after all an affiliate of the Celestial Travel Sect, Xie Family wouldn't need to take drastic actions."

"Who would know if they act secretly?"

Shen Wang shook his head, "Only we need to know my true identity, and when I have enough strength, I will reveal it then."

Liu Da Rong pondered for a moment and nodded, "That's fine for now, but when these issues are resolved and you have enough strength, you must reveal your true lineage."

"Of course."

Shen Wang said, "Once I reach Core Formation, I won't be too afraid."

"You're quite confident, kid. Talking about Core Formation so assuredly."

Liu Da Rong chuckled; he was barely starting to accept Shen Wang as Zheng Yunshu's man, and seemed a bit more amiable.

"Without this confidence, how dare I marry your precious disciple."

Shen Wang smiled, with the system in place, not just the Golden Core, as long as he doesn't die, he can reach Immortality.

"Hmph, then contact Yun Shu now, I want to talk to her."

Liu Da Rong gave Shen Wang a glare.

"Alright."

Shen Wang wasn't afraid of being exposed, he had already briefly discussed it with Zheng Yunshu before coming to help gain her elder's trust.

He took out the Ten Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Talisman, he didn't have the Communication Spirit Jade before, it was too expensive. He just bought it and hadn't synced it with Zheng Yunshu and them yet.

Activating it, the Talisman lit up, and then he said, "Shu'Er, I've met your master, use the Communication Spirit Jade to assure him."

His voice was sent through the Talisman, and it started to burn along with it.

This device only allows one-way transmission, a relatively simple function, while Communication Jade allows real-time conversation.

After a moment, the jade pendant at Liu Da Rong's waist lit up, and then a clear but slightly stuttering voice came through, like a child who did something wrong, "Master... Master, it's Yun Shu, I'm doing well, how about you?"

"I'm not well, I'm about to be angered to death by you."

Liu Da Rong snorted, but his heart was relieved as long as his silly disciple was okay.

"Master, why are you angry? Is it because I didn't go back to learn the Array? But I'm married now."

Zheng Yunshu said dazedly.

"Hmph, you married and didn't come back?" Liu Da Rong rolled his eyes.

"No, it's just that I'm afraid Xie Xianlong and his people will attack me, and I dare not return."

Zheng Yunshu explained the reason.

"How dare they, I haven't settled the score with them for what Xie Xianlong did to you!"

Liu Da Rong snorted coldly.

"But master, you can't beat them, Xie Xianlong's uncle is the Vice Sect Leader."

Zheng Yunshu's words were straightforward, making Shen Wang almost laugh out loud.

Simultaneously, he felt a chill in his heart; the Xie Family's influence was formidable, at least among the top in the Hundred Refining Sect.

Liu Da Rong's face turned green, "You silly girl, you really want to anger me to death."

Still, this manner of speaking was unmistakably his silly disciple, still this naive.

"Don't be angry, master, or you'll get fat."

Zheng Yunshu consoled.

Liu Da Rong puffed up even more, "Alright, we'll talk about these matters later. Stay at his place for now."

"Mm-hmm." Zheng Yunshu said obediently, you could imagine her nodding like a pecking chicken from the sound of her voice.

"Ahem, by the way, how many months along is that little one in your belly now?"

Liu Da Rong inquired.

"A month or maybe two?"

Zheng Yunshu was uncertain, "I don't know how to calculate it."

Liu Da Rong sighed, "Take care of your health and focus on safely delivering the child first before considering Core Formation."

"Mm-hmm."

Zheng Yunshu responded obediently again.

Liu Da Rong ended the conversation without asking more.

He knows Shen Wang's words can't be entirely true, but as long as Zheng Yunshu is alright, he wouldn't press further.

After all, the person is in this kid's hands.

"See, I wasn't lying to you, she's all healthy and in great condition now."

Shen Wang said with a light smile.

"How do I know you haven't imprisoned her, forcing her to say all this?"

Liu Da Rong didn't agree, but although he said that, there wasn't any anger, clearly joking.

"How could I bear to, if you doubt it, find an opportunity to see for yourself."

Shen Wang shrugged, "I'm just afraid you can't leave the Sect."

"You, too direct like Yun Shu."

Liu Da Rong sighed, "Some people are indeed watching me, and I can't get away right now, or it would lead a group of people over to you."

"Then forget it, she's pregnant now, there can't be any accidents."

Shen Wang said seriously, "This matter, father and son, we can handle it ourselves."

"I like to hear words like that from you, but your abilities are not enough; you can only deal with their underlings."

Liu Da Rong had appreciation in his gaze towards Shen Wang; what he said was in line with his liking.

"I have a question, why can they target us based on suspicion alone? What justification do we have for such a low status in the Array Refining Pavilion?"

Shen Wang raised his doubt.

"Our Array Refining Pavilion isn't the strongest, but it's not the weakest either. At least I control about thirty percent of the Arrays in this Sect. Their suspicion is just a guise."

Liu Da Rong glanced at Shen Wang, "I won't hide it from you, this matter is related to factional strife within the high-level, to be precise, the Vice Sect Leader is deliberately oppressing and wooing to compete for the next Sect Leader's position."

"Oppression?"

Shen Wang contemplated.

"Yes, initially it was to woo us, offering benefits to promote the marriage between Xie Xianlong and Zheng Yunshu, to completely bind our Array Refining Pavilion to their chariot. After all, Zheng Yunshu was designated by me as the next Pavilion Master, and being Dao partners with Xie Xianlong would mean our Array Refining Pavilion joined them."

Liu Da Rong disclosed something Shen Wang didn't know.

"I see, but fortunately, our Yun Shu has her own personality, not liking that bastard Xie Xianlong."

Shen Wang couldn't help but smile in satisfaction.

"It's not only Yun Shu, even I don't like it, so I refused outright. As a result, they chose to use force, and when that failed, this path was completely cut off, they chose suppression."

Liu Da Rong's gaze turned colder, "Their actions made me see their true nature, even less likely to associate with them."

"Right, following such people, who knows, they might ruin the Hundred Refining Sect."

Shen Wang nodded; the Hundred Refining Sect leans towards commercial operations, valuing harmony and making money through peace, not unrighteousness and tyranny.

"Now that you understand the situation, do you still dare to get involved?"

Liu Da Rong looked at Shen Wang with a faint gaze.

"Why wouldn't I dare? With you backing me, it's better than being a loose cultivator with no backing outside."

Shen Wang shrugged; he dared to fight the Yun Family as a loose cultivator, so what fear does he have clashing with factions in the Hundred Refining Sect with a backer?

"Good, you've got guts!"

Liu Da Rong smiled, "Then continue to act as Wang Sheng and deal recklessly with their underlings, win within the rules, not only standing up for me but you'll also gain many benefits."
