"I told you, my patience is limited!"

Su Chen's calm voice rang out once again.

Zeng Bowen shuddered violently upon hearing this voice!

Recalling the scene that just transpired, he was still full of apprehension; he hurriedly struggled to kneel down and then said:

"I'm sorry, I was talking nonsense earlier, I apologize!"

After saying this, he felt an immense humiliation; he, the respected Sect Master of the Tiancang Sect, was forced to kneel by a stranger, which could be considered a great disgrace!

Everyone witnessing this scene was somewhat shocked!

This was something they absolutely hadn't anticipated!

"Alright, alright!"

Zhou Ying, being a servant with a timid nature, and a kind-hearted girl, quickly said upon hearing the words.

"Alright, now you can leave!"

At this moment, Su Chen waved his hand and said.

Zeng Bowen's subordinates felt like they'd been pardoned from a major offense upon hearing this, and quickly helped Zeng Bowen up, then headed toward the staircase exit.

As they reached the stairway, Zeng Bowen turned back to glance at Su Chen, and then turned his head with a trace of gloom flashing in his eyes!

Kid, you dare to make me kneel and apologize; I'll definitely make you pay tenfold, a hundredfold!

..........

After a short while, Su Chen, Ji Ping, and Zhou Ying also left, with Ji Ping competing to compensate for the items damaged in the tavern with Su Chen!

"Brother Su, I really didn't expect you to be so powerful!"

Once outside, Ji Ping exclaimed with a smile:

"It's true that real talents hide their abilities!"

Based on Su Chen's earlier performance, he speculated that Su Chen's strength might be at the perfection or even great perfection stage of the Condensation Pill Realm!

"Just so-so."

Su Chen smiled casually.

Dealing with someone at the minor perfection stage of the Condensation Pill Realm, he felt absolutely no pressure!

"But Brother Su, today you acted a bit impulsively; you made Zeng Bowen lose so much face, and he's from the Tiancang Sect, they surely won't let this go easily!"

Ji Ping thought for a moment and solemnly said.

If Su Chen hadn't been here today, Ji Ping would not have easily agreed to Zeng Bowen's humiliation of Zhou Ying!

Moreover, Zeng Bowen's humiliation of Zhou Ying was largely because of him!

However, it wouldn't have gone as far as Su Chen took it because Zeng Bowen is the Young Sect Master of Tiancang Sect!

"Su Chen, I dragged you into this."

Upon hearing Ji Ping's words, Zhou Ying said apologetically, knowing Su Chen got involved because of her, therefore attracting trouble with Tiancang Sect!

"We're friends, right?"

Su Chen heard this and smiled, not worrying much, even if Tiancang Sect intended revenge, he didn't mind!

However, this casual remark from Su Chen somewhat touched Ji Ping's heart, thinking to himself: This young man is indeed worthy of befriending!

"Ah, when all is said and done, today's incident started because of me, I caused trouble for you two."

Ji Ping sighed and said.

"By the way, Brother Ji, what exactly is the conflict between you and Zeng Bowen?"

Su Chen casually asked; he could clearly see that initially Zeng Bowen was targeting Ji Ping!

"This is a long story."

Ji Ping glanced at Su Chen and said.

He then briefly explained the situation to Su Chen; it turned out, there had been a conflict of interest between the Ji Family and Tiancang Sect concerning some matters, which lasted for one or two hundred years, and extended to the younger generation!

Furthermore, the Young Sect Master of Tiancang Sect lived a debauched lifestyle, often forcibly taking young women and bullying the weak, which Ji Ping strongly disapproved of!

These reasons combined naturally made Ji Ping and Zeng Bowen have an even bigger fallout!

In addition, their levels of cultivation were similar, making today's incident completely understandable!

"Brother Ji, Xiaoying, I think I should move out in a couple of days."

Su Chen contemplated and said.

He didn't want to bring trouble to others, so moving out would be better.

"Brother Su, that's really unnecessary."

Ji Ping clearly understood Su Chen's intentions and smiled:

"Given the family relationships, it's impossible for the Tiancang Sect to come after someone in the Ji Family; even if they do, they're just seeking trouble unwillingly!"

"Rest assured, it won't bring any trouble to our Ji Family; the two families have already had conflicts for so many years!"

Ji Ping continued:

"But, you should still be careful on your own in the future!"

"Let them come if they want to."

Su Chen casually laughed; as long as he didn't bring trouble to others, it was fine.

"By the way, I have some matters to attend to, so I'll head out first; you and Xiaoying can enjoy your time."

Ji Ping said; he had originally come to the market with some business to attend to.

According to what he thought, even if the Tiancang Sect intended to act, it probably wouldn't be so quick!

"You go ahead, we'll just wander around."

Su Chen smiled and said; Ji Ping nodded with a cupped fist gesture and then walked off in another direction.

Su Chen and Zhou Ying continued to casually wander around the market...

Zhou Ying was probably somewhat concerned about the previous incident, but Su Chen had already put it aside!

..........

The two strolled until dusk before deciding to return home.

As it was getting late, they slightly quickened their pace, and reached home in about an hour.

"You returned in perfect time; dinner is just ready."

Jiang Ping said with a smile as she saw the two return.

A while later, Su Chen ate dinner together with Zhou Ying's family.

After dinner, Su Chen returned to his room.

Once back in his room, he began contemplating the "Wind Shadow Step"!

Recently, he had made a breakthrough with the "Thousand Hand Seal," and his cultivation reached the Condensation Pill Realm; now, he planned to spend more time on the "Wind Shadow Step"!

He certainly hoped to achieve breakthroughs in the "Wind Shadow Step"!

No matter what level of cultivation, speed is an important part of overall strength!

Su Chen had a deep understanding of this!

Before coming to the Ruin Realm, he had already spent a long time meditating on the "Wind Shadow Step" and gained quite a few insights, though he hadn't truly made a breakthrough yet!

The next morning, after breakfast, he went outside of the Ji Family residence, finding a relatively quiet place.

Since he felt some insight from meditating on the "Wind Shadow Step" last night, he came to practice it.

Before long, his silhouette darted around like a phantom, moving at extreme speed!

After an hour or two, he halted; his forehead had a slight sheen of sweat!

Despite the lengthy experimentation, no breakthrough was achieved; he contemplated for a bit and then stood up to head back.

However, he wasn't too disappointed, believing it would naturally succeed like the "Thousand Hand Seal"!

Before making breakthroughs with the "Thousand Hand Seal," didn't he fail multiple times?

The path of Martial Arts is never smooth; no matter how great the talent, it's impossible to reach the pinnacle in one step!

Su Chen understood this truth very well!
