「The next morning.」
Mountain rain pierced through the steaming mist, drizzling down onto the slopes of Immortal Mountain.
"Ma Beiqiu, get your ass out here!"
Suddenly, a shout like thunder erupted on Golden Lotus Peak, giving the Second Elder, Ma Beiqiu, who was lecturing his disciples, quite a scare. He hurried outside to see the Fifth Elder standing there with a group of people, looking quite menacing. Perhaps the Fifth Elder was so enraged that even the fine rain dared not approach him.
"Fifth Elder, why are you so incensed this early in the morning?" Ma Beiqiu asked, puzzled. "Is it because Feng Zhengyuan refused to spar with Tang Heng?"
"Spar my ass!" the Fifth Elder got straight to the point. "Last night, Tang Heng came to your Golden Lotus Peak looking for Feng Zhengyuan, but he never returned. Did you detain him?"
"Detain him?" Ma Beiqiu was even more puzzled. "Certainly not. I didn't see Tang Heng last night either!"
