"I’m not just worried about Guan Shan. Actually, I don’t think he’s much of a threat. It’s Yin Lulu you need to watch out for," Yang Junming said.

In fact, he had privately inquired about Yin Lulu’s character. She was quite well-known in Tuo Shi, so it was relatively easy to gather information about her. Thus, Yang Junming had thoroughly understood Yin Lulu’s personality.

A woman who always seeks revenge and has a venomous mind should not be offended. The key issue is that her background is not simple. If she really wants to do something, he’s not sure what might happen.

"This woman is really strange. I don’t even know when I offended her," Su Changfeng said helplessly. Today’s encounter with Yin Lulu left him bewildered by the hatred in her eyes.

In reality, there was no interaction between him and Yin Lulu; they’d only met once. He didn’t think he had done anything to offend her, but her attitude was as if they had some deep-seated enmity.

"What’s so strange about that? Women are inherently strange creatures, especially these spoiled princesses. It’s not unusual not to know how you offended them."

"Over the years, with Yin Zhengyuan’s pampering, she has never had any regard for anyone. No matter how outrageous her actions, Yin Zhengyuan always handled it for her, which made her even more willful. I’m just worried that Yin Lulu might retaliate against you and do something during the competition." Yang Junming sighed helplessly.

Hearing Yang Junming’s words, Su Changfeng was a little surprised. This guy must have really gone to the mountains to hide. When it comes to talking about women, he seems to have it all figured out. Looks like he’s someone with stories to tell!

"Yang Junming, it seems you have a lot of stories to share. Next time, tell me about them; I could use some experience," Su Changfeng said with a playful smile.

"With a relationship as good as yours with your wife, how many people would be envious. What more experience do you need?" Yang Junming said, his eyes filled with evident envy.

Initially, Yang Junming had followed Su Changfeng because of his daughter’s matters. However, the longer they spent time together, the more he realized the charisma of Su Changfeng.

Of course, this charisma wasn’t just for women; even as a fellow man, one could also be drawn to Su Changfeng.

Just Su Changfeng’s unwavering loyalty to Shen Hanxue was enough to earn Yang Junming’s admiration.

One should know that with Su Changfeng’s strength and status in the worldly realm, if he wanted, many women would flock to him. Many men couldn’t resist such temptation and would fall into it.

However, Su Changfeng was different. Even with enough capital, he still held onto the love in his heart, controlling his desires for one woman. That’s not something everyone could easily do.

"Of course, I need it. The more experience, the better the relationship can be," Su Changfeng chuckled.

Yang Junming glared at Su Changfeng, saying, "What you really want to know isn’t experience, is it?"

Realizing his intentions were uncovered, Su Changfeng awkwardly scratched his nose. After all, Yang Junming was an old fox, immediately seeing through his thoughts.

"You’ve been separated from your daughter for so long. What exactly happened during that time is something I’m really curious about. Besides, she’s clearly your daughter, yet you know so little about her. That’s really strange," Su Changfeng said.

Upon hearing this, a flicker of pain crossed Yang Junming’s eyes as if he remembered something, and a sadness appeared on his face.

After an unknown period of silence, Yang Junming finally spoke, "At that time, I was completely consumed by my pursuit of Martial Arts, dedicating almost all my thoughts to it. So when I knew I could join Tuo Shi, I was very excited."

"So in your excitement, you abandoned your family?" Su Changfeng asked.

"At that time, she was just pregnant," Yang Junming said with difficulty.

"Damn, Yang Junming, that’s really irresponsible!" Su Changfeng said incredulously. Leaving behind a pregnant woman, just thinking about it feels desperate.

Even if obsessed with Martial Arts, it shouldn’t go to such lengths, right? It’s no wonder Tuo Shi held such allure for Yang Junming. No wonder he knew so little about his own child, he hadn’t even seen his daughter’s face!

"Once you truly understand Tuo Shi, you might understand my decision. I made this choice not just for myself, but for more important reasons," Yang Junming said.

"Is it related to Tuo Shi’s secrets?" Su Changfeng asked, frowning.

Yang Junming nodded, saying, "I believe if you were in my position, you’d make the same choice as me."

"That’s absolutely impossible!" Su Changfeng responded dismissively, "Even if the world were falling apart, I could never abandon my wife and kids. Such a thing isn’t something any real man could do."

This sentence was evidently a jab at Yang Junming, but he seemed unbothered and even smiled, saying, "What if leaving is the only way to protect them?"

Hearing these words, Su Changfeng’s expression suddenly turned solemn.

Only by leaving could he protect them?

That means Yang Junming back then seemed to have no choice in the matter. But this also connected to Tuo Shi’s secrets. So, Tuo Shi probably exists to protect some peace or possibly to combat something.

Originally, Su Changfeng was a staunch atheist, but after witnessing the power of the skull, he realized there might be things in the world he didn’t know of. Although they might not be gods or spirits, they should be extraordinary.

"It seems like Tuo Shi is facing no ordinary opponent," Su Changfeng remarked.

"Trying to extract information?" Yang Junming teasingly looked at Su Changfeng, eyes full of laughter.

Su Changfeng silently thought that old foxes were indeed cunning; it wasn’t easy to extract information. He shrugged indifferently and said, "I’m just asking casually. I believe I’ll find out soon enough. Given that, is there any need for me to pry information from you?"

"Tomorrow is the final assessment. If you pass, you’ll get to take the Infinite Cave trial. Once you pass the Infinite Cave, you’ll naturally know all the answers. But whether you’ll come out of the Infinite Cave alive will depend on your skills," Yang Junming advised.

As for the Infinite Cave, Su Changfeng had asked around. Although they didn’t know exactly what kind of place Infinity Cave was, it was said that in the past ten years, no one had survived the Infinite Cave trial. In recent years, no one even had the courage to attempt the Infinite Cave trial.
