Other cultivators might not know how to control their power when dealing with mortals, but Matthew knew it all too well.
When he wandered in human world, not all mortals in the human world were cooperative. He had also encountered a few tough nuts who refused to offer their women to him voluntarily.
Being favored by him was clearly a blessing for mortal women, yet there were some who didn’t know how to appreciate it.
He could only teach them a little lesson and intimidate them without killing them as long as he grasped the right strength.
While he was thinking about it, accompanied by a sharp sound of breaking the air, a sharp blade struck straight at his face, interrupting Matthew’s wandering thoughts.
A strong sense of crisis drove his limbs. He raised his sword to block, and his fingers suddenly went numb. Even half of his arm lost its sensation.
His sword fell from his loosened hand. He was suddenly shocked in his heart. He immediately bent down and rolled to avoid the blow.
Then came an even more ferocious attack, forcing him to scurry around with his head in his hands. He didn’t even have the extra energy to think about why his opponent wasn’t a mortal.
Nyx hadn’t seen Kian fight with others much. She squinted her eyes and observed for a while, then cautiously asked Greg for confirmation, “Kian will win, right?”
Kian was clearly at an advantage, and in terms of cultivation, he was also better. But the battle between cultivators was too complicated. She wasn’t sure if Matthew would suddenly take out some strange treasures or use some evil magic to boost his strength.
Greg held the little rabbit in his palm and rubbed it. Hearing this, he chuckled softly with his chest vibrating.
Kian would definitely win. There was no suspense about this.
Or rather, with just one sword strike from Kian, the outcome would be crystal clear. What Kian was doing now was just humiliating Matthew.
In the arena, Kian stood still, and Matthew fled in a panic, just like a particularly funny comedy.
There was a hint of admiration in Greg’s eyes.
At first, he didn’t like Kian’s temperament. Greg thought Kian was too forbearing and lacked edge. Now, Kian was courageous. At least he wouldn’t allow anyone to bully Nyx.
Among those who dared to fight on the training grounds, even if they weren’t evenly matched, they could still fight back and forth for a few rounds before.
But Matthew just fled, wriggling on the ground. Still, he couldn’t dodge it. His hat was cut off by a sword, and with his hair loose and a look of panic on his face, he shouted, “I surrender…”
If he had been a little slower just now, it would have been half of his head that was cut off.
Dignity and face were not as important as life.
The sword blade stopped three centimeters in front of Matthew’s forehead. Kian retracted his long sword, but his sword spirit seemed not to have had enough fun. It still wanted more and let out a threatening hum in dissatisfaction.
Matthew had been pushed to the limit and couldn’t bear any more intimidation. He slumped to the ground in despair. “I’ve

already surrendered. You can’t kill me…”

The onlookers all burst into laughter because they had really never seen such a spineless guy. Matthew was not only weak in strength but also a coward.
Several of Matthew’s cronies had already slipped away when they saw the situation was bad. Most of the students and teachers from Feather Sun Palace who had come after hearing the news had also left.
However, Hector Pearson, the master of Feather Sun Palace, couldn’t leave because he had to clean up Matthew’s mess. He witnessed Matthew’s misery and felt so ashamed. His face turned stern, and he didn’t want to admit that this was his disciple.
Hector thought, ‘Is it too late for me to expel him from the sect now?‘
There were faint gazes towards him all around. He felt as if there was a fire burning on his face and was extremely ashamed. However, in the next moment, an even more embarrassing scene appeared in front of him.
Since the contract had been formed and the outcome had been determined, Matthew felt a powerful force that he couldn’t resist pressing on him. He involuntarily knelt on the ground and crawled towards Kian in front of him.
Kian was not fond of letting people crawl under his crotch. He frowned in disgust and dodged.
Since the winner refused to accept that, this punishment could be regarded as having been fulfilled. Matthew’s body stiffened, and then he began to bow to Kian under the drive of the contract.
There was an uproar all around. Hector was stunned and couldn’t believe his eyes or what Matthew was doing.
He had only heard that Matthew had a conflict with someone and was going to have a duel on the training grounds, but he didn’t know that this was the consequence of losing the duel.
The punishment after losing was too humiliating. It was simply trampling on the face of their Feather Sun Palace.
“You arrogant bastards!” Hector was furious and rushed toward Kian, apparently intending to kill him.
Greg’s expression suddenly turned cold after seeing that.
Before he could take any action, a seemingly soft force came through the air and punched Hector away.
“Elder Cyan.” Nyx’s eyes lit up.
She had learned the skill of using spiritual power to punch her enemies away from Cyan.
Greg retracted his hand that he had stretched out halfway and lowered his eyes to gently tap the little rabbit’s head. “Did you tattle?”
No wonder he had just seen Nyx playing with the communication talisman.
“Do you think I can’t handle this matter?” His tone was a bit sour, but he didn’t notice it himself.
Nyx flattened her ears and pretended not to hear it to avoid direct answer to his words.
Greg was a top–notch master. He could handle any matter. But they had only met twice and were not very familiar with each other. They were also not relatives, so Nyx thought it would be better to leave this matter to her teacher to solve.
“Elder Cyan?” Hector stabilized his body in a sorry state and looked at Cyan in surprise.
Feather Sun Palace was just a very small sect. Even as the master, he rarely met the elders of the Celestial and was not very familiar with them. Moreover, since their statuses were worlds apart, Hector had to submit to Cyan.
Hector’s previously high spirits immediately shrank by half.

He reluctantly forced a smile, bowed to Cyan, and explained, “Sorry, I know that the Celestial forbids casual fights. It’s all because my disappointing disciple lost the duel and was forced to kneel. That’s why I, as his master, had to protect him.”
As he spoke, he glared at Kian and said, “As an Upright Cultivator, we have no enmity with each other. Yet he humiliated his opponent like this. This young man has a bad nature…
“Is that so?” Before he could finish, Cyan interrupted him and said indifferently, “But I heard that it was your disciple who molested my student and then challenged her dual cultivation partner to a fight.”
Hector’s expression froze. He didn’t know that such a thing had happened.
The terrifying thing was that Hector knew Matthew’s lechery, so Matthew was probably really capable of causing such a big disaster.
The sword cultivators who had watched the whole process nodded in agreement one after another, “That’s right. That’s exactly what happened.”
Hearing the chorus of agreement in his ears, Hector almost fainted. He knew that it was most likely true.
He really wanted to leave immediately and no longer cared about this matter, but Matthew was after all a disciple of Feather Sun Palace and his own disciple.
“Even if he was at fault first, he shouldn’t have been forced to kneel. You leave no face for Feather Sun Palace,” Hector continued to defend helplessly.
“Who said he was forced?” Greg sneered and said. He looked down at Hector and Matthew and said, “That was the punishment he proposed himself. I just made a contract for them.”
Hearing this, Cyan turned his head and cupped his hands to greet, “Greetings, Mr. Campbell.”
Facing this situation, his shock was no less than that of others. His mind was almost blank.
Greg had never meddled in such a trivial business, but today he suddenly took care of the dispute among the younger generation and was still holding Nyx in her rabbit form.
In just a short while, Nyx’s fur had been messed up. She flapped her four short legs and wanted to go to Cyan, but was firmly held by Greg.
Cyan hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and reached out to take his little apprentice over. He also exchanged some pleasantries and expressed his gratitude, “Thank you for taking care of her.”
Greg ignored him completely and didn’t show any intention of handing Nyx over to him.
After a moment of stalemate, Cyan awkwardly retracted his hand and showed a helpless expression to Nyx.
He thought, ‘Nyx, hold on a little longer. I can’t beat Mr. Campbell and rob you from him, after all.’
After Hector saw Greg, his face had already turned ashen, and he stood there motionless.
To him, Greg was a legendary figure. He had always wanted to flatter Greg, but he never expected that their first meeting would be in such a situation.
Hector felt that he was doomed. At the same time, he cursed Matthew, the jerk who dared to harass women casually, in his heart.
Matthew had not only offended Cyan but also Greg.
Not to mention stopping Matthew from bowing, Hector himself now wanted to kneel and beg for mercy. He shed a ton of tears in his heart and regretted defending Matthew.

Perhaps he shouldn’t have accepted Matthew as his disciple in the first place.
Hector opened his mouth. Before he could speak something to make amends, he heard Cyan’s cold judgment.
“Your student lost the duel, and as the master of a sect, you disgracefully wanted to retaliate and hurt Matthew’s opponent. Feather Sun Palace is not suitable to participate in the Sect Competition. Leave within today,” said Cyan.
The situation had escalated to a severe extent, which was beyond Nyx’s expectations.
But she didn’t speak up to mediate because what Cyan said made a lot of sense.
Victory and defeat were common on the training grounds. Hector had just attacked Kian without distinguishing right from wrong. He might not refrain from attacking other participants for other reasons in the future.
“No, please don’t do this to us!” Hector begged in a panic, “I won’t do that ever again. I swear…”
No matter how much he swore, Cyan remained unmoved.
Since Hector’s plea for mercy was unsuccessful, he quickly changed his attitude and roared angrily, “You’re being personal You can’t speak for the Celestial!”
Hector was right, but the other elders all supported Cyan.
The elders rushed over after hearing the news. After listening to the whole story, they judged the case according to Cyan’s intention without hesitation and unceremoniously drove the people from Feather Sun Palace out.
On the territory of the Celestial, they couldn’t tolerate the fact that someone dared to molest and harass the students of the Celestial and even tried to attack the teachers of the Celestial.
Feather Sun Palace was invited to participate in the Sect Competition for the first time. They had been happy for only half a day, and then they were driven away in disgrace.
The culprit was Hector, so the elders had some complaints. The disciples didn’t dare to speak out in anger and could only vent their anger on Matthew, who had caused the trouble first. They surrounded him and started to mock him.
“I heard that you bowed a hundred times, Matthew. Is that fun?”
“Mr. Campbell said that the idea of bowing was your own. I really can’t tell that you have such a kink.”
“Come on, kneel down for us, too.”
In the past, Matthew would already have taken revenge on these people, but now he was like a lost soul, full of dejection, and didn’t even have the strength to fight back.
In full view of all those onlookers, he had lost all his face.
Although he had saved his life, he felt as if he were dead. He even thought it would be better to die.
Everything had started because of Nyx, and he should have hated her.
But because of the huge gap in their statuses and cultivation, he didn’t even have the courage to hate. Every time he remembered the fear of being shrouded in death, he couldn’t help but shiver.
He didn’t dare to hate Nyx. Along with that, he also developed a sense of fear towards those beautiful mistresses in his inner quarters. His lecherous courage had been completely shattered.
So, the first thing he did when he got home was to send all his mistresses away.
Driving away the insignificant Feather Sun Palace didn’t have any impact on the preparation of the Sect Competition. It just

added some topics for after–dinner conversations.
When it came to the most discussed topics, this matter didn’t even rank. After a few days, the heat of this matter hard subsided. What everyone was more interested in was the canteen of Herb Peak.
The deliciousness of the dishes would be discovered sooner or later, and the reputation of Her Peak Canteen quickly spread.
It was crowded with disciples from various sects all day long. Ernest and a group of canteen servants had already been extremely busy but still couldn’t meet the demand.
A renowned figure like Greg naturally didn’t need to queue up to get the dishes from Herb Peak Canteen in person.
Nyx lent him her private room, so he could ask someone to deliver the food for him.
But Nyx herself didn’t appear in the canteen for several days and instead stayed at home and didn’t go out
She was avoiding Greg.
That day, Cyan talked to her and asked her how she had met Greg. She answered truthfully, but Cyan was shocked.
する
“His dual cultivation partner? Where did Greg get a dual cultivation partner?” Cyan was afraid that he was behind the news. so he found Warren from Sword Guild to confirm. The answer he got was the same.
Warren had never heard that Greg had a rabbit demon as a dual cultivation partner either.
This was a bit of weird. Nyx felt something was wrong and wanted to know if Greg had taken a fancy to her and if the words he had said before were hints.
Although she didn’t think so because Greg treated her more like a child than a lover, she couldn’t trust her hunch too much and needed to analyze it specifically in combination with the information.
Anyway, it wouldn’t do her any harm to hide for a while.
She had been intimate with Kian for a long time last night and didn’t fall asleep until dawn. Nyx slept in a daze until the afternoon. When she regained consciousness, she heard the cold sound of weapons colliding outside.
She was stunned for a moment and immediately woke up. She got up in a hurry and rushed out the door. Then, Nyx found that two people were fighting. The sword energy was blasting, but they tacitly avoided Nyx’s home and spirit field.
In order not to cause damage here, Greg had set up an overly small barrier. He couldn’t even fully display his sword skills when practicing, and there was a bit of irritability in his sword strikes.
Kian had a hard time coping. He couldn’t avoid them in time, and a strand of his hair was cut off.
Nyx was startled and instinctively pounced towards him, but was bounced back by the barrier and rolled back a few times softly.
The sword practisers stopped their movements at the same time.
In the next instant, Greg waved his hand to remove the barrier and squatted down to catch Nyx. But a pair of hands was faster than him and protected Nyx in his arms. He only had time to poke her rabbit ears.
“You’ve been avoiding me?” Although it was a question, Greg used an affirmative tone and squinted his eyes at Nyx
He hadn’t seen this Nyx for several days, and her partner hadn’t gone to practice sword either. So he couldn’t hold back and
came to her door himself.
Nyx subconsciously burrowed into Kian’s arms and said a little guiltily, “No, I’ve been too busy these days.”

“What have you been busy with?” Greg didn’t let her go and asked in detail.
The vegetables in the spirit field didn’t need to be taken care of all day long. The trivial matters of the canteen were managed by other responsible people, and Nyx hadn’t signed up for the Sect Competition either.
She thought hard for a while but couldn’t come up with a legitimate reason. So she just gave up and said, “Busy falling in love.”
Since she had chosen to let things slide, she confidently stuck out her head and said, “You also have a dual cultivation partner. You should know what I’m talking about.”

“Speaking of your dual cultivation partners, where is yours? Isn’t she coming to participate in the Sect Competition?” Nyx boldly sounded him out. “Why don’t you introduce her to me?”
