Roger said confidently and laughed heartily.
"I'm currently on par with Philemon and the others, and they are my rightful opponents. Not a nobody just at level three of Energy Gathering Realm. I won't kill Austin, but he should be punished. Tell your men to give Austin as much trouble as they can. I won't let him lead a comfortable life!"
"Yes, sir! I'll convey your instruction to my men immediately. We won't give Austin a chance to make trouble again!" the young man said respectfully.
"You may leave now. I'm going to take the time to practice. I intended to attend the Five Sects Competition in the next two years, so I must take my time. If you don't have anything important, don't come and bother me," Roger ordered.
"Yes, sir! May you succeed and defeat Philemon soon!" the young man said in flattery.
Roger nodded, enjoying being flattered very much. He shook his sleeve and then a small black bag flew out. He handed it to the young man and said, "Take it. If you're loyal to me all the time, you'll get a lot of benefits when I succeed."
Roger then closed his eyes and continued with his meditation.
The young man politely took the small black bag and pinched it. A look of joy appeared on his face. Knowing that he shouldn't stay there any longer, he immediately stepped out from the cave.
Meanwhile, in another cave of the Sun Mountain, two young women sat face to face.
One of them was at the age of fifteen or sixteen years old. She had a delicate facial profile and starry eyes, and her frame was slim and lithe.
If Austin were here, he would have immediately recognized that this girl was Denali.
The young woman sitting in front of Denali had coiled her beautiful hair in a bun. With crescent brows, beautiful eyes, a small nose, and slim frame, she looked incredibly charming.
However, with an emotionless face, she looked as cold as ice. Even the temperature in the cave seemed had dropped more due to her coldness.
"A grunt disciple named Austin saved your life, is that right? But he is a man of mental deficiency. So, how could that even be possible?" the young woman asked emotionlessly.
"Yes. That night, the rogue brought me to a glade and was about to rape me. Fortunately, Austin showed up in time and saved me."
Denali's face turned pale at the thought of what had happened to her that night.
"A mentally disabled grunt disciple named Austin? I think I know this guy. But I'm not so sure if we're talking about the same person. The man I know used to be an outer disciple, and he became a grunt disciple after he got some mental problems," the young woman said coldly.
"Yes! It's said that Austin was degraded to a grunt disciple from an outer disciple. So you know him too?"
Denali cried out.
"Of course, I do! He used to rank first among tens of thousands of outer disciples, so everyone knew him. I used to admire him, too," the young woman continued.
Denali was a little surprised because she never expected that Austin used to be such a powerful and known man.
Thinking of how amazing Austin had been, the young woman lost in her thoughts.
"However, it's said that he suddenly went crazy. How did he save you? Does it mean he's pretending to be crazy? But why has he played a fool and let everybody bully him for three years?
He must have been planning something big. Otherwise, he wouldn't have endured so many humiliations! Denali, I know he saved you and you owe him your life. But whatever happens, do not contact him again! He can be a scheming person," the young woman reminded.
"He might have his own reasons. We didn't do anything to him before, so I think he won't do anything to harm us. Don't you think so?"
Denali asked cautiously. The young woman was her cousin, and Denali had always respected and feared her cousin since she was a child, and she seldom disobeyed her wishes.
In spite of that, it was hard for her to consider Austin as an evil man after he had saved her.
"Denali, you're naive and you can't understand how dangerous people can be. Since your dad entrusted me to take care of you, I'm responsible for your safety. Just do as I told you!" the young woman said coldly, seemingly a little annoyed.
Denali dared not to protest her again. "I understand," she answered in a low voice.
"Let's stop talking about him, shall we? I might attend the Five Sects Competition in the next two years on behalf of our sect, so I need time to practice. You should also try your best to improve your cultivation level in vital energy. That's the most important thing," the woman added.
"I will do my best!" Denali answered obediently.
When Denali heard that her cousin would attend the Five Sects Competition on behalf of their sect, she couldn't help admiring her.
