Due to the trial at White Tiger Academy officially starting the day after tomorrow, Xing Peng, staying in the cultivation room, dared not attempt prolonged meditation. Instead, he planned to cultivate here for two days before going out.

  While he was in the cultivation room, Xing Kuangfeng was searching everywhere for Xing Peng. When he finally learned that Xing Peng had entered the fourth floor of the Martial Tower, his face looked terrible, and his heart was filled with shock and awe.

  "Xing Peng actually entered the fourth floor of the Martial Tower, this... this is simply unbelievable! In just a short month, how could his strength have increased so quickly!"

  He clenched his fists tightly, feeling a strong killing intent towards Xing Peng. Today, after meeting with Old Black, he made another trip to Heavenly Extremity Peak, conducting a thorough search. At the summit of Heavenly Extremity Peak, he found numerous claw marks left by Xing Peng practicing the 'Nine Yin God Claw'. From those claw marks, Xing Kuangfeng vaguely guessed something - Xing Peng's martial arts might not have been from discovering some treasure but were taught by someone.

  Otherwise, Xing Peng would definitely not be practicing martial arts at the summit of Heavenly Extremity Peak. When he sent Xing Peng to the summit of Heavenly Extremity Peak, he was certain Xing Peng knew no martial arts at all. As for how Xing Kuangfeng recognized those claw marks as caused by Xing Peng's martial arts practice, it was because Xing Peng had once used such claw techniques during the family's trials.

  "What to do, what should I do now! Now that Xing Peng is meditating inside the Martial Tower, it's impossible for me to uncover his secrets from him. His rise has been too sudden, and no one knows anything about him, making it impossible for me to investigate him..." Xing Kuangfeng's expression was very gloomy, his brows twitching constantly as various thoughts spun in his mind, eventually leading him to sigh in resignation.

  He dared not storm the Martial Tower, and as for sending someone to assassinate Xing Peng inside the Martial Tower, that was even more impossible. If Xing Peng hadn't gone to the fourth floor, he might have had a chance to have someone kill Xing Peng. But now that Xing Peng had gone to the fourth floor, his chances were slim.

  To enter the fourth floor of the Martial Tower, one must at least possess the strength of the late stage of the Earth Level. Although he had been lurking in the Xing family for years, he had not built up any base of support within the Xing family and had always kept a low profile, lacking the manpower to dispatch. If it weren't for the sudden mission to kill Xing Peng at Heavenly Extremity Peak, he wouldn't have encountered such trouble.

  "It seems, no matter what, I must leave the Xing family this time. Once Xing Peng grows up, my end will surely be miserable..."

  Although Xing Kuangfeng's strength had reached the Heaven Level, his strength was not the most top-notch among the Xing family. He did not dare to break the rules of the Martial Tower.

  Over the years, lurking in the Xing family, Xing Kuangfeng had understood that the most dangerous place in the Xing family was indeed the Martial Tower. Despite only being manned by an old man, no one dared to act recklessly in the Martial Tower.

  In over a decade, Xing Kuangfeng had once witnessed the unimpressive old man take action once, and after that, he became wary of the old man.

  At that time, Xing Kuangfeng saw with his own eyes the old man kill a Heaven Level late-stage martial artist who had sneaked into the Martial Tower with a single palm strike. That was a Heaven Level late-stage martial artist, much stronger than him, a mid-stage Heaven Level martial artist.

  If even a late-stage Heaven Level martial artist could be killed by the old man, Xing Kuangfeng, a mid-stage Heaven Level martial artist, dared not act recklessly in the Martial Tower. If he dared to cause trouble in the Martial Tower, he was sure he wouldn't be able to leave the Martial Tower alive.

  The next day, in the afternoon.

  Xing Peng came out of the Martial Tower. As he walked out, anyone who saw him looked at him differently. Although Xing Peng had already shocked many by winning first place in the family's trials, causing his generation and some family servants to worship him, many direct descendants of the Xing family over twenty years old were still indifferent.

  However, now that the news of Xing Peng entering the fourth floor of the Martial Tower had spread within the family, everything had changed. Being able to enter the fourth floor was enough to prove Xing Peng's strength was not inferior to the previous generation of the Xing family's direct descendants. Not only was he not inferior, but he was also much stronger than most of them, putting pressure on them. Some people who previously did not pay much attention to Xing Peng had to reconsider Xing Peng's position in their hearts.

  Xing Peng did not pay much attention to the attitudes of the people around him. After two days of meditation, his strength had improved significantly. Now, he had fully entered the peak of the late Earth Level, on the verge of breaking through to the Heaven Level at any moment.

  "Xing Peng, you're finally out. If you hadn't come out, I would have had to send someone in to call you!" As soon as Xing Peng stepped out of the Martial Tower, a young man in black clothes approached him. This person was named Xing Tianyi.

  "What do you want?" Xing Peng stopped and looked indifferently at Xing Tianyi. He had not had much contact with this Xing Tianyi in the past.

  "The family head asked me to call you to see him." Xing Tianyi said sharply.

  "To see him?" A trace of confusion flashed in Xing Peng's eyes, then he nodded and said, "Got it, I'll go there in a bit." After saying that, he left Xing Tianyi behind and walked back to his own courtyard.

  Back in his courtyard, his personal maid, Xiao Yue, was sitting beside a stone table in the garden, propping her chin with her jade hand, staring blankly at a rockery not far away.

  When Xing Peng approached, Xiao Yue immediately woke up, stood up respectfully, and greeted him with joy, "Young Master, you're back!"

  "Yep! Go and prepare some hot water for me. I need a bath!" Xing Peng nodded and smiled.

  "Yes, Xiao Yue will prepare it for the young master right away. Please wait a moment..." Xiao Yue nodded excitedly, then dashed off.

  Seeing this, Xing Peng smiled wryly, feeling increasingly sentimental about the rules of this world. The personal maid arranged for him by the Xing family now, Xiao Yue, was not only beautiful but also had reached the mid Human Level in strength. If in his previous life, a beauty like Xiao Yue knew about the martial arts Xing Peng practiced, let alone serving Xing Peng, she wouldn't even be interested in talking more with Xing Peng. Yet, in this world, she became his maid.

  After only a short wait, Xiao Yue, along with others carrying hot water and a bath tub, arrived at Xing Peng's room. After the servants had set everything up, Xiao Yue sent them away.

  "Young Master, do you need me to help you scrub your back?" Xiao Yue shyly looked at Xing Peng, her eyes filled with a hint of anticipation.

  Xing Peng glanced at Xiao Yue, originally intending to shake his head, but upon seeing the look of anticipation in Xiao Yue's eyes, he eventually nodded. Following Xing Peng's nod, Xiao Yue actively began to help him undress.

  Speaking of which, this was the first time Xing Peng had been served by someone since he had memories. In the past, because his father was not often at home, no one really treated him seriously, and he had never been served by anyone. Such treatment, which was most normal for young masters of ordinary families, was something he had never experienced.

  As Xiao Yue undressed him, a blush involuntarily crept onto Xing Peng's handsome face, making him feel somewhat self-mocking.

  In his previous life, he was an old virgin, and in this life, he was still a novice. This treatment was indeed a first for him.

  In an awkward state for Xing Peng, Xiao Yue quickly stripped him of his clothes, then served Xing Peng into the bath tub. As Xing Peng entered the large bath tub, Xiao Yue suddenly did something that made Xing Peng's pupils contract.

  Xiao Yue suddenly untied her belt, then with a slight effort of her delicate hands, her dress slid to the ground, revealing her exquisite, smooth, and fair body. Underneath her dress, she wore nothing at all.
