"Damn! You want to teleport to the bed? What are you trying to do? You think I won''t strangle you?"


    Ye Fan, frustrated, rushed forward and grabbed Gu Changsheng by the neck, shaking him vigorously.


    "So rude! Too rude... Young Master Ye, as Confucius said, ''A gentleman should serve with courtesy''... Such lack of ancient teachings..." Gu Changsheng, gasping for air as his neck was being choked, still managed to squabble!


    "..." Ye Fan truly was at his limit, and from a distance, he felt as though he could smell the sourness.


    This Gu Changsheng must have gone mad from all that reading, right?


    During a moment of distraction, Gu Changsheng waved the brush in his hand and swiftly drew a formation in mid-air, causing Ye Fan to suddenly feel emptiness in his hands!


    The next moment, Ye Fan was astonished to find that Gu Changsheng, whom he had just been holding, had disappeared?


    And to appear instantly behind Ye Fan!


    This Gu Changsheng even waved his brush, seemingly intent on drawing something on Ye Fan''s back?


    Damn!


    Ye Fan was genuinely astonished!


    This Gu Changsheng had something up his sleeve; his transfer method via formations showed some resemblance to Ye Fan''s Change of Seasons, as well as Teleportation Trait, or even the Demon Shadow Illusion Body.


    It was indeed fortunate that it was Ye Fan who encountered Gu Changsheng today. If it had been someone else, the eerie change of position by Gu Changsheng might have scared them half to death.


    After all, if Gu Changsheng suddenly appeared behind an enemy and stabbed them, they would be severely injured if not dead.


    With Ye Fan''s current strength as a Fourth Grade Martial Saint, evading such a sudden attack was not difficult.


    However, Ye Fan was also curious about what exactly Gu Changsheng intended to draw on his back.


    Humph!


    "Puppet Zombie!"


    With a flick of his wrist, a sheet of Puppet Zombie Paper appeared, instantly transforming into Ye Fan''s likeness and taking his place, while Ye Fan used Teleportation to silently position himself behind Gu Changsheng.


    Given Gu Changsheng''s attitude toward those outsiders just now, Ye Fan no longer considered Gu Changsheng an enemy.


    "Is that so? What would you do if I do not agree, Young Master Gu?" Ye Fan looked at Gu Changsheng mischievously, his face expressionless.


    Gu Changsheng was stunned, then bowed again to Ye Fan, "I beg you, Young Master Ye, grant me this favor! I must win this championship... I really have no other choice. My father battled a powerful figure from Europa in the past and subsequently suffered a chronic illness. He urgently needs an Eighth Rank Elixir Pill for his treatment, which is part of the prizes for this championship. I must obtain it to heal my father, otherwise, he may not live many more years!"


    "I beg you, Young Master Ye, I am kneeling for you!"


    Gu Changsheng spoke earnestly, actually preparing to kneel before Ye Fan.


    Is that what this is about?


    Ye Fan also couldn''t help but heave a long sigh!


    About the deeds of Gu Tang, the leader of Red Tiger Domain, Ye Fan had also heard.


    Gu Tang held sway over the Northwestern Region, deterring enemies from outside the region in his time. He was indeed a mighty figure who made his enemies tremble with fear, and indeed, he was said to have been injured later on.


    The royal family allegedly had Elixir Pills that could assist Gu Tang with his healing, but for some reason, they had always refrained from giving them to Gu Tang.


    Now, they were using the Elixir Pills as a prize for the Military Martial Arts training instead of giving them to Gu Tang.


    "A man''s knees are precious, do not kneel!" Ye Fan said calmly with a smile, reaching out to support Gu Changsheng, his lips twitched slightly, his mind already having made a plan.


    "Does this mean Young Master Ye agrees?" Gu Changsheng looked hopeful and expectant as he gazed at Ye Fan.


    But Ye Fan shook his head, "No! What I am curious about is, if I still do not agree, what would you do then?"


    Gu Changsheng''s face fell, and he heaved a helpless sigh, "Young Master Ye, please don''t play games with me! It''s not the act of a gentleman... If Young Master Ye still refuses to step back, then I will have no choice but to draw a circle to curse you... Why don''t you check your back to see if there is something there?"


    Gu Changsheng''s wrist flickered, starting to activate the Formation!


    In an instant, Ye Fan felt a powerful, ancient force from the Puppet Zombie Paper attaching itself there, beginning forcefully to turn the paper and bowing his torso towards the ground!


    "But rest assured, Young Master Ye, I will control myself! I won''t interfere in any of your other battles and won''t let you lose too miserably... My apologies, my apologies... I''m sorry, Young Master Ye, I desperately need this shared championship, I need that Elixir Pill!"


    Gu Changsheng continued to bow deeply to Ye Fan, "I also understand the royal family''s intentions, they just want to see my father, this old tiger, wither away... Sigh..."
