After Wu Shan left Ye Feng''s cave residence, he flew straight to the Law Enforcement Hall.
Upon reaching his destination, he descended from the sky.
The disciples around him greeted Wu Shan one after another.
"Senior Brother Wu Shan."
"Greetings, Senior Brother Wu Shan."
Wu Shan couldn''t even be bothered to glance at these disciples and walked straight into the Law Enforcement Hall.
Many disciples were angry at Wu Shan''s arrogant demeanor but dared not speak out.
After all, this was the Law Enforcement Hall, and Wu Shan''s father was the deputy hall master.
The current hall master was in seclusion, so the deputy hall master practically had free rein. Who would dare provoke Wu Shan?
Wu Shan wasn''t there to see his father; he was just bored and wanted to find his Dao companion, Zhou Dandan.
Even though he had several secret Dao companions in the Law Enforcement Hall, he was tired of them and wanted to visit Zhou Dandan, his distant Dao companion, for a change.
Coincidentally, as soon as he entered the hall, he saw Zhou Dandan approaching.
Wu Shan smiled, "Dandan, it''s been a while. Did you miss me?"
Zhou Dandan rolled her eyes, "Don''t say such things in public."
"Oh? Then I''ll come to your cave residence, and we can talk slowly." Wu Shan grinned mischievously.
Zhou Dandan shook her head slightly, "I''m afraid I can''t. I need to go to the Nine Peaks to deliver the Outer Sect Competition reward to Li, the true disciple."
Wu Shan was somewhat displeased, "What''s the rush? It''s getting dark; you can deliver it tomorrow."
Zhou Dandan replied seriously, "It''s fine for ordinary outer disciples, but Li Qinghai is a true disciple and cannot be neglected."
If any of his other Dao companions dared to defy him like this, Wu Shan would have been angry long ago.
But Zhou Dandan was a serious and principled cultivator.
Wu Shan liked Zhou Dandan''s demeanor. He had gone to great lengths to create a persona of being devoted to win her over.
So, Wu Shan suppressed his displeasure and smiled slightly.
"Alright, let''s go. I also want to see what this true disciple is like."
"Okay, let''s go."

...
A stick of incense later.
Wu Shan and Zhou Dandan arrived at the Nine Peaks.
Seeing a light in one of the houses, they walked over.
In front of the wooden house, Zhou Dandan gently called out.
"Is the true disciple Li here?"
"One moment."
Li Qinghai''s voice came from inside.
Soon, the door opened.
Li Qinghai glanced at the two people in front of him.
"And you are?"
Zhou Dandan handed over a storage bag with a polite smile.
"True disciple Li, this is your reward for the competition."
Li Qinghai accepted the storage bag, "Thank you."
Wu Shan, standing aside, didn''t like Li Qinghai.
Firstly, because Li Qinghai was delaying his dual cultivation with Zhou Dandan.
Secondly, because Zhou Dandan was being overly polite to Li Qinghai!
This made him very unhappy!
So, Wu Shan looked at Li Qinghai disdainfully and sneered.
"True disciple Li, you''re quite lucky. With just a Qi Refining tenth level cultivation, you became a true disciple. Truly enviable."
Hmm?
Li Qinghai looked at Wu Shan, frowning slightly. He could hear the contempt in Wu Shan''s tone.
He doesn''t even respect a Qi Refining tenth level?
It should be noted that he had just recently broken through to the Qi Refining tenth level.
If they had come a few hours earlier and seen him at the Qi Refining ninth level, wouldn''t they look down on him even more?
Back when he was an outer disciple, Ye Feng didn''t take him seriously, which was understandable.
But now, he was a true disciple of the Nine Peaks.
If he were mocked and didn''t retaliate, it wouldn''t just be his face that was lost, but the face of the Nine Peaks as well!
So Li Qinghai''s eyes narrowed slightly, and he put on a harmless smile.
"Oh? May I ask which peak''s true disciple you are?"
"I... I''m not a true disciple." Wu Shan felt a bit embarrassed and quickly added, "My father is..."
Before Wu Shan could bring up his family background, Li Qinghai interrupted him.
"Oh, so you''re just a junior brother." Li Qinghai said indifferently, acting as if he was ignoring him.
This attitude seemed to say, you''re not a true disciple, so you''re not worthy of speaking to me.
Wu Shan clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves, his eyes filled with resentment and humiliation as he looked at Li Qinghai.
True disciples, regardless of their strength, held a status in the sect that was above all other disciples.
This was an indisputable rule!
Li Qinghai was using his status as a true disciple to suppress him, and Wu Shan had no way to counter it.
But his background was no weaker than Li Qinghai''s!
Wu Shan said coldly, "True disciple Li, my father is an elder of the Law Enforcement Hall. I think you should show me some respect."
"An elder of the Law Enforcement Hall? That''s impressive!" Li Qinghai nodded slightly.
Wu Shan snorted, thinking Li Qinghai had backed down.
Who knew Li Qinghai would add another sentence.
"Then why didn''t your father make you a true disciple? Is it because you didn''t want to, or because he couldn''t?"
!!!
"Li Qinghai!!"
Wu Shan was instantly filled with rage, shouting angrily.
The aura of a late Foundation Establishment cultivator surged at that moment.
This time, he wanted to crush Li Qinghai with absolute strength.
He wanted Li Qinghai to know that in the face of absolute power, all verbal disputes were futile.
However, just as his aura rose.
"Hmph!"
A cold snort came from another room.
This snort, seemingly containing immense power, instantly dispersed all of Wu Shan''s aura.
Wu Shan felt like a leaf in the ocean, at the mercy of others.
This was the power only an Elemental Infant elder could wield!
It was Elder Jian Jiu!
Damn, he had been so angered by Li Qinghai that he forgot about Elder Jian Jiu''s presence.
Wu Shan trembled slightly, cold sweat pouring down his body.
Fortunately, Jian Jiu disdained to deal with such a minor disciple, and the pressure of the Elemental Infant elder quickly dissipated.
Wu Shan gasped for air, feeling as if he had narrowly escaped death.
Jian Jiu''s pressure had only affected Wu Shan.
Li Qinghai felt nothing, but seeing Wu Shan''s sweaty and terrified face, he was slightly puzzled.
However, after thinking it over, he could guess that Jian Jiu had intervened.
But he didn''t mind disgusting Wu Shan a bit more.
So he cleared his throat and said slowly.
"Forget it, as a true disciple, I won''t bully the weak. No need to be so scared."
"…"
Wu Shan''s eyes widened in anger, wishing he could perish together with Li Qinghai.
No wonder Ye Feng wanted to kill this Li Qinghai!
This guy really deserved to die!
But Wu Shan clearly forgot that he was the one who provoked Li Qinghai first.
Of course, with his usual domineering personality, Li Qinghai''s resistance was an unforgivable offense!
Only if Li Qinghai disappeared from his sight would his Dao heart be at peace.
But as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, trying to kill someone in front of an Elemental Infant cultivator was no different from seeking death.
Wu Shan took a deep breath, glared fiercely at Li Qinghai, and then turned to leave.
Zhou Dandan, looking apologetic, said to Li Qinghai, "True disciple Li, I''m really sorry. I hope you don''t take it to heart."
Wu Shan''s voice came from afar, "Aren''t you coming?"
Zhou Dandan gave Li Qinghai a slight bow and then turned to follow Wu Shan.
