Mu Tian’s heart trembled. What did Su Changfeng mean? Was he hoping they could also improve their strength?

But why would Su Changfeng give them such a precious thing? He felt that their friendship hadn’t reached that level yet.

"Su Changfeng, are you planning to kill us?" Wu Wen suddenly spoke up. He probably thought the fruit was poisonous and believed Su Changfeng intended to harm them.

"You’re overthinking. It really isn’t poisonous; otherwise, I wouldn’t be alive now. Back in the Infinite Cave, I relied on it to satiate my hunger," Su Changfeng said.

"Such a good treasure, why are you willing to give it to us?" Mu Tian glared at Wu Wen irritably and then turned to Su Changfeng.

Su Changfeng sighed deeply and said earnestly, "I hope you promise me one thing. No matter what happens in the future, no matter what happens in this world, you must stay by Shen Hanxue and Ye Nianhai’s side. Even if you have to risk your life, protect them well."

In Tuo Shi, Su Changfeng indeed had no other candidates. He wasn’t comfortable entrusting others, and after thinking it over, only Mu Tian and Wu Wen seemed suitable.

Although their current strength was lacking, with the help of the fruit, they could certainly become stronger in a short time. If they could push themselves further, there was hope of becoming Heavenly Level masters.

"Given your current strength, why don’t you protect them yourself?" Wu Wen asked again.

Mu Tian was angry enough to want to smack him; he had already warned Wu Wen not to speak carelessly, but it seemed Wu Wen didn’t take it to heart.

"Su Changfeng, do you have a very troublesome task to undertake, perhaps very dangerous?" Mu Tian asked.

"Yes," Su Changfeng nodded and said, "During this period, I cannot guarantee what will happen, nor can I determine how soon I’ll return, so I found you. Rest assured, eating this fruit will greatly boost your strength, but I hope you keep it confidential."

Wu Wen couldn’t help but ask again, "Do you trust us that much?"

Mu Tian almost wanted to kill him. Was this guy stupid? Such an unparalleled opportunity was right before him, yet he hesitated and fussed; wasn’t he just making trouble needlessly?

Boom!

Mu Tian suddenly knelt down.

Wu Wen was dumbfounded, looking at Mu Tian in disbelief and asking, "Master, what’s wrong with you? What do you mean by this, it’s so sudden!"

Mu Tian ignored him, staring straight at Su Changfeng and said, "I, Mu Tian, swear, I will protect them both well. As long as I have a breath left, I will ensure their safety!"

Only then did Wu Wen understand Mu Tian’s intention. His kneeling was an allegiance to Su Changfeng; helplessly, Wu Wen also knelt down, as the fruit Su Changfeng presented was indeed enticing.

"You’d better remember this: never try to betray me; I’m not someone who forgives easily." After Su Changfeng finished speaking, he threw down the fruit and left.

Mu Tian and Wu Wen exchanged looks and then, without hesitation, consumed the fruit.

Although Su Changfeng had stayed in Yellow Level for a while, it was merely a stepping-stone for him. He had little emotional ties here, so after meeting Mu Tian and Wu Wen, he intended to leave but was stopped en route.

"Yin Lulu, it seems you really like it here. Isn’t Lingxiao Pavilion good enough? Do you have a Miss’s quirk to experience life at the grassroots level?" Su Changfeng frowned, looking at Yin Lulu who appeared suddenly.

Of course, he didn’t know Yin Lulu had been punished by being sent to Yellow Level, so he wasn’t intentionally mocking her.

But these words sounded very unpleasant to Yin Lulu’s ears, and she felt Su Changfeng was deliberately ridiculing her.

Tightening her fist, Yin Lulu looked at Su Changfeng and said, "Su Changfeng, you truly have skills, actually coming out of the Infinite Cave alive. Seems you’ve got quite the luck!"

"If you’re willing, you can try it. If you survive the Infinite Cave, you won’t need to rely on Yin Zhengyuan’s status to bully others anymore," Shuang Changfeng said with a smile.

Yin Lulu wanted to shred this man right before her. Given her strength, she was inferior even to Yellow Level members and naturally wouldn’t send herself to die in Infinite Cave; she didn’t even dare to think about it.

"Su Changfeng, don’t bully people too much. Even if I’m now a Yellow Level member, I’ll return sooner or later. What are you? I’m the daughter of the Lingxiao Pavilion Squad Leader." Yin Lulu gritted her teeth and said.

Su Changfeng was clearly shocked and asked, "What? You’re a Yellow Level member now? I haven’t heard. Didn’t Yin Zhengyuan cherish you a lot and send you to Yellow Level?"

"Su Changfeng, I’ll kill you!" Furious, Yin Lulu tightened her fist and charged at Su Changfeng.

Su Changfeng agilely dodged, and Yin Lulu’s attack missed. He curled his lips and said, "With your current strength, it’s better not to embarrass yourself outside. Haven’t you heard, I’m already a Heavenly Level master; you think you can beat me?"

Yin Lulu almost fainted in anger. When she first met Su Changfeng, he was merely a lowly Yellow Level then. In just a month, he skyrocketed to a Heavenly Level master.

With such disparity in status, her arrogance seemed even more like a joke.

It’s no exaggeration to say, Su Changfeng was now a presence admired by everyone in Tuo Shi, and the proud son of heaven Guan Shan meant nothing in his eyes.

And then there was her, the once conceited daughter of the Lingxiao Pavilion Squad Leader, now reduced to Yellow Level.

Though she was still Yin Zhengyuan’s daughter, the gap between them was as wide as clouds and mud.

However, knowing she couldn’t defeat Su Changfeng, Yin Lulu didn’t make futile struggles, glaring stubbornly at him with her beautiful eyes.

"Su Changfeng, go ahead and be smug. Sooner or later, one day I’ll fiercely stomp you beneath my feet!" Yin Lulu said with gritted teeth.

Su Changfeng shrugged indifferently and said, "Yin Lulu, aside from being the Lingxiao Pavilion Squad Leader’s daughter, what do you have to show for yourself in Tuo Shi? I know you look down on me, but I am stronger, and that’s a fact!"

"From now on, I’ll train with all my might. I believe that with my talent, I’ll definitely kill you, this worthless being!" Yin Lulu said vehemently.

Talent?

Su Changfeng couldn’t help but laugh. Even Guan Shan wasn’t qualified to talk about such things before him.

Moreover, he had more than just talent; the skull and the fruit’s effect created the current Su Changfeng. Even against Yin Zhengyuan and Elder Wu, he had the courage to fight.

As for the outcome, he couldn’t be certain, as he didn’t know what his limits were, nor did he know how formidable Yin Zhengyuan and Elder Wu were.
