Jun Changxiao concluded the hellish training ahead of time in order to lead the disciples to Liyang City. 

This was mainly because he wanted them to rest and adjust their conditions before facing their opponents. 

“Qianqian.” On the road, Jun Changxiao asked her, “These few days, I only saw you cultivate in the array.
How is your strength?”

Lu Qianqian lightly responded, “It is okay.”

Used to this woman’s indifferent responses, Jun Changxiao didn’t bother her with any more questions.
Instead, he focused on Xiao Zuiji, who was following them with his head bowed. 

This fellow was definitely thinking of Liyang City and how he would have to face the cityfolk and the Xiao Family. 

“Zuiji.” Jun Changxiao walked over and patted his shoulder.
“You are a man, so you should boldly face the world.”

“En!”

Xiao Zuiji shouted a confirmation, his jet-black pupils twinkling with firm determination. 

These several people arrived at Liyang City as dusk was approaching. 

Just that, before they had even gone inside the gate, several cultivators were already looking in their direction.
More specifically, they were looking at Xiao Zuiji. 

“Isn’t that the Xiao Family’s waste?”

“He’s really participating in the competition!”

“I thought it was just a rumor, but it’s true!”

“Tsk tsk.
Without his root or cultivation base, such a loser dares to participate? Is he not afraid of being humiliated?”

Hearing the people ridicule and gossip about him, Xiao Zuiji clenched his fists and lowered his head. 

“Xiao Mo,” Jun Changxiao called out.

Su Xiaomo said, “Here!”

Jun Changxiao pointed at the two cultivators who had just called Xiao Zuiji a loserl.
“Some people are trying to shame your junior brother, what should you do?”

Su Xiaomo did not say anything.
Nimble as a fleeing rabbit, he was already half-way to the two cultivators.
Within the next second, he had kicked the cultivator on the left into the air. 

Shua!

He then rotated in the other direction and pointed his toes.
With one leg sweep, he kicked the other cultivator right in the face. 

Putong! Putong!

At the same time, the two cultivators simultaneously hit the floor. 

He rushed, he stopped, then rushed again.
He hit two people at different times, but they fell together.
The whole process looked smooth and easy. 

Su Xiaomo gracefully landed on the floor and clapped his hands.
“A junior brother is a brother-in-arms.
Shaming him is shaming me.”

“Good job,” Jun Changxiao nodded in satisfaction. 

Li Qingyang whispered from the side, “Sect Head, this is Liyang City.
Isn’t acting here a bit improper?”

Jun Changxiao responded, “This is outside the city, we did not violate any laws.”

“Makes sense,” agreed Li Qingyang.
Why hadn’t he thought of that himself? If he had known, he would have acted first. 

The two trampled upon cultivators stood up.
One had a clear footprint on his face and was seething with anger.
However, even if he felt indignant, he did not dare speak up. 

They were from the city, but had no influence, so speaking out would definitely have consequences. 

Jun Changxiao swept a glance at them, lightly saying, “If you dare shame my Ironbone Sect’s disciple again, you won’t see the sun tomorrow.”

With a flick of his sleeve, he led the disciples into the city. 

On the way, Xiao Zuiji’s clenched fists slowly loosened.

“Sect Head, Senior Brother Su, thank you.”

Su Xiaomo walked closer and put a hand on his shoulder.
Grinning, he said, “We are from the same sect, there is no need for thanks.”

Xiao Zuiji smiled. 

Since being registered for the competition, this was the first time he had smiled.
It was such a bright smile too. 

It doesn’t matter if the people of Liyang City look down on me, it is also fine if I look down on myself.
But I have Sect Head, I have many senior brothers and sisters.
They have never thought of abandoning me, and that is enough…

After crossing through the shadow of the city gate, the world was a patch of bright sunlight. 

Xiao Zuiji seemed to no longer be inherently dispirited, the haze surrounding his heart lightening up. 

“The youngster just now had such quick footwork!”

“He didn’t even use spiritual power, why was he so fast?”

“That was an Ironbone Sect disciple?”

“In my opinion, he’s probably their top disciple.”

“So he was Qingyang City’s number one genius?”

“Right! Qingyang City’s number one genius joined the Ironbone Sect.
If it was him, that would make sense.”

As Jun Changxiao brought his disciples away, the cultivators discussed, mistaking Su Xiaomo for Li Qingyang. 

“Qingyang City’s number one genius?”

Among the people on the intersection was a youth in gray robes.
He smiled as he said, “I hope we can meet in the competition.”

An old man beside him said, “He-er, the boy’s footwork was rigorous so his strength is definitely not normal.
If you meet during the competition, don’t be careless and underestimate him.”

“I know, I know,” the youth named He-er grumbled.

“Elder, that Ironbone Sect only has Li Qingyang, but they dare to send others to participate.
They sure got guts,” another disciples piped up. 

The elder was quite discreet and whispered, “The people who dare to attend the competition all have ability.
If you run into the boy from a moment ago, be careful.”

“Yes,” several disciples chorused. 

However, these people did not know that the boy in question was Su Xiaomo, not Qingyang’s City’s number one genius. 

The competition was going to be held the day after tomorrow, so Jun Changxiao led his five disciples to look for an inn.
But as they walked through the streets, because of Xiao Zuiji, they drew the attention of many people. 

Phrases like ‘waste’ and ‘direct descendant of the Xiao Family’ flew through the air.
His name kept appearing here and there, the cultivator’s often filled with loathing and disdain. 

“Zuiji,” Jun Changxiao said.
“Do not care about them, as they are just a group of dogs.
Wait until they experience your strength, they will come over groveling and wagging their tails.”

Xiao Zuiji resolutely responded, “Sect Head, I will make them grovel before me with my own strength.”

“Sect Head, Junior Brother, don’t insult dogs like that!” Su Xiaomo cried out. 

Jun Changxiao nodded.
“Doggos guard the house, are loyal and devoted, acting as good companions for mankind.
Indeed, I should not insult them like this.”

The cultivators on the road heard their words and immediately became angry. 

Su Xiaomo glanced at them, before saying with a smile, “Sect Head, this Disciple really enjoys it when there are people who dislike me but know they can’t kill me.
It’s like they just swallowed a fly.”

Jun Changxiao added, “More like they just ate shit.”

“Xiang?” [1]

Su Xiaomo didn’t really understand.

Li Qingyang didn’t understand either.
But based on Sect Head’s tone, he judged that this ‘xiang’ was definitely not a good thing.

Jun Changxiao and Su Xiaomo joked with each other, causing the cultivators who had called Xiao Zuiji a loser to become infuriated.
But the city regulations forbade fighting. 

It was quite fortunate that there were such regulations, otherwise with the great Sect Head Jun’s temperament, he would have already led his disciples into beating people up. 

Soon, the group had found an inn and were just about to go inside.
From behind them came a ‘yo yo’ sound.
Turning around, they found a brocaded man surrounded by servants. 

“Bei Jian!”

Xiao Zuiji’s eyes were dark. 

“Bei Jian?” Jun Changxiao’s expression was a little weird.
“If you combine those two characters, doesn’t that make ‘cheap’? This name is just like the previous Ai Family’s Ai Zou.” [2] 

The youth in brocaded clothes named Bei Jian swaggered over.
“Yo yo, isn’t this Qingyang Commandery’s millennium rare talent? After not meeting for several years, your bearing is even more impressive.”

“Sect Head, let’s go.” Li Qingyang was disinclined to deal with him. 

Bei Jian said, “Yo yo, we are old acquaintances, but you’re leaving without chatting?”

Su Xiaomo scratched his head.
“Sect Head, this person keeps yo-yo-ing.
Is he sick?”

Jun Changxiao said, “Perhaps.”

As they said this, the five disciples walked into the inn.
Outside, Bei Jian yo-yo-ed again, “Xiao Family’s great genius, this young master will also participate in the competition.
If we meet, let’s nicely compare notes.”

“Who was that?” asked Jun Changxiao. 

Xiao Zuiji responded, “Bei Family’s direct descendant.
Five years ago, he harassed a girl in broad daylight and I punched him.”

Jun Changxiao touched his nose.
“If I hear his nonsense phrase again, I might vomit.
If you meet him in the competition, beat him for this Lord, beat him so badly his parents won’t recognize him.”

“Yes!”

[1] JCX says 吃了翔.
Usually people will say 吃翔, which is a slang for ‘eat shit’.  The character 翔 is pronounced as ‘xiang’ and out of context, would mean ‘soar’ or ‘wheel’ 

[2] The guy’s name is 贝戋 (Bei Jian).
The character 贱 , meaning ‘cheap/inexpensive’ is literally the two characters 贝 and 戋 put together.
The joke is that the guy is dressed in expensive clothes but is basically named ‘cheap’.
