A tour guide pointed at a towering rock not far ahead to tourists who came to visit out of admiration, explaining, "Originally, there was no such rock here. Later, however, the local people, to express their respect for Cao Mengde and gratitude for his manuscripts falling into their hands, spontaneously built this massive Jieshi rock, fifteen meters high and thirty meters in circumference, under the direction of the County Magistrate at that time..."

There were also quite a few tour boats on the Yangtze River, and of course, some fishing boats.

In an inconspicuous small boat sat a young girl and an old man.

The girl was extremely pure and beautiful, with an aura as if she were a fairy untouched by the world.

She was none other than Tuoba Fengyi, who had twice "gifted" treasures to Xu Hao!

She looked at the elder before her with her big, sparkling eyes and said, "Grandfather, how do you think Brother Hao will win this duel?"

Tuoba Fengyi's grandfather chuckled, "Child, although Fein's strength may not be great, he is, after all, a figure on the Heavenly List. Is he so insignificant in your eyes?"

"Of course, he's not even my match, so he surely can't be Brother Hao's opponent!" Tuoba Fengyi said matter-of-factly.

But if anyone heard her words, they would probably be stunned instantly.

She actually claimed that Fein, ranked one hundredth on the Heavenly List, was no match for her!

She looked no older than sixteen or seventeen!

Yet her grandfather's words were even more startling, as he said Fein's strength was indeed not very impressive!

What terrifying strength did this grandfather and granddaughter possess?

Tuoba Fengyi's grandfather gazed into the distance and said, "Fein is just the beginning. In the future, his enemies will become more numerous and powerful. If he can withstand the pressure, his strength will improve rapidly; otherwise, he will fall!

Don't be fooled by that old guy following Xu Hao in the shadows. It seems like Xu Hao is safe and won't face life-threatening danger, but later on, that old guy may not be able to handle those few old men."

His words were very serious, clearly not meant in jest.

"Hmph! Brother Hao will definitely not fail!" Tuoba Fengyi snorted, pouting unhappily.

"Alas! The world is unpredictable! Now that those strong ones have left, only a few of us old ones are left in this world. The struggle among the younger generation must happen soon, or they're likely to be overwhelmed by the pressure. Xu Hao is the best catalyst; he's the one who stirs up the most trouble," Tuoba Fengyi's grandfather said worriedly, though he couldn't resist teasing Xu Hao a little.

"Grandfather, what kind of pressure are you talking about?" Tuoba Fengyi asked curiously.

"The time is not right, and it cannot be said. You young people are the hope. I will subtly warn Xu Hao not to resort to deadly force so casually."

"Ah? Many of those people want to kill Brother Hao. Does Brother Hao have to spare their lives and await certain death?" Tuoba Fengyi said, somewhat annoyed.

"Ah, daughters grow up and are difficult to keep at home. That's not what I mean! Those who harbor murderous intent against Xu Hao are not qualified to participate in the decisive battle. Even if they meet their end, it doesn't matter. We need elites, true elites!"

Tuoba Fengyi's grandfather seemed to feel he had spoken too much and said, "Alright, that's enough said. Just wait and see."

"Alright." Tuoba Fengyi pouted, somewhat unwilling, even though her grandfather spoiled her, there were many things she had no right to know, at least not now.

...

This time, Xu Hao did not refuse the company of Liu Ruyan and the others.

Although their faces always carried smiles, chatting and laughing in the past two days, Xu Hao knew in his heart that they were all worried about this decisive battle.

After all, the opponent is a renowned powerhouse from the Heavenly List!

Whether one can make it onto this list is a considerable distinction.

Although Xu Hao kept saying there was no issue in defeating Fein, they all felt he was trying to keep them from worrying too much.

Xu Hao himself wasn't entirely confident either.

He was well aware that there would be many forces working against him secretly.

Zhao Yanhong continued to drive as usual, and they weren't in small cars but in spacious and comfortable RVs.

Accompanying Xu Hao on this trip were Liu Ruyan, Qin Yao, Anna, Chen Suyi, Ruyue, Chu Xiaoxiao, Miranda, and the driver Zhao Yanhong.

All of them were top beauties!

Along the way, the women in the car kept talking, their voices overlapping like a lively aviary, lifting Xu Hao's spirits.

They arrived at Jieshi Town and found it was already packed, more like a bustling city than a small town.

As Zhao Yanhong was about to park the RV in a spot near the riverside, a golden Lamborghini suddenly swooped in from the side and snatched the parking space!
