However, Zhou Jing did not know anything about the Wu Mountain Sect at all. Even if he knew, he would not bother as well.
“So you’re from the martial world.” Zhou Jing nodded without changing his expression.
Seeing that Zhou Jing did not react, Ye Heng snorted in his heart, but he did not show it on his face.
“I’ve heard that you’re an expert who has attained the Dao. You have divine powers and profound spells, and you can walk on water without falling. I’ve practiced martial arts for many years, but I didn’t know that there was such a method in the world. It’s really an eye-opener. I only feel that I’ve lived in vain for the past 20 years. I admire you a lot, so I want to toast to you. I wonder if you’re willing to give me face?”
“Great words!”
Zhou Jing replied casually. He felt that this person’s words were filled with needles and seemed to have ill intentions. He immediately made up his mind to see what the other party would do.
Hearing this, Ye Heng walked up with a smile.
Zhou Jing raised his cup and clinked it against his.
However, the moment they touched cups, a strange force came and stuck to his cup.
Zhou Jing immediately sensed the abnormality. Looking at Ye Heng’s smiling expression, he immediately knew that the other party was probably using his inner strength to test him or make him embarrass himself.
His heart skipped a beat, but he did not use his physical fitness to break the technique. He simply played along and pretended not to know, allowing Ye Heng to do as he pleased.
On the other side, Ye Heng silently circulated his inner strength. He did not feel any feedback from Zhou Jing’s force, as though the other party was just like an ordinary person, and his heart immediately calmed down.
“Not only is this person a cheat, but he doesn’t even know martial arts…”
At this moment, he was not making things difficult for Zhou Jing. He was just testing if Zhou Jing had any martial arts skills.
If this cheat knew martial arts, it would not be so easy to expose his “divine power”. Thus, he had prepared a few plans as countermeasures.
However, since this person did not know martial arts, there was no need to think so much. Ye Heng simply turned his probing into making things difficult for him.
Pak!
The wine cup in Zhou Jing’s hand immediately shattered.
Under the guidance of inner force, the wine splashed directly at Zhou Jing.
If he was drenched and embarrassed, this person’s “expert” demeanor that he spent so long to maintain would be exposed.
This thought flashed through Ye Heng’s mind, as the corners of his mouth curled up. He prepared to watch Zhou Jing fall into his trap.
However, in the next moment, his eyes almost popped out.
Huu!
Zhou Jing did not move. A whirlwind appeared out of thin air, sweeping up the wine in front of him and trapping it in midair within a vortex.
Immediately after, Zhou Jing opened his mouth, and the wine turned into a water arrow, flying straight into his mouth.
At this moment, Zhou Jing wiped his mouth elegantly and said in a meaningful tone,

“Little brother, your toast is quite the intense one.”
The scene fell silent.
Where am I? Who am I? What am I seeing?!
The scene just now was not something hidden nor was it happening at the speed of light at all. Everyone present saw it clearly and their jaws almost dropped.
Ye Heng, having the “VIP spectator seats” felt the impact even more thoroughly. His face was filled with disbelief, almost doubting his entire existence.
Even though he was the closest and could see the clearest, he could not see any traces of a Sect’s techniques from his movements.
It was as though a gust of wind appeared out of thin air and swept away the wine.
Ye Heng had practiced martial arts for many years, and it was not as if he had never seen an expert in the martial world. He knew that internal energy could never do such a thing.
Could it be that it was not a trick but a real divine power?!
This was impossible!
Ye Heng’s throat moved, and his heart was in a mess. He stood rooted to the ground with his wine cup still raised, not knowing how to respond. His legs were a little weak.
At this moment, Ye Shunzhong finally reacted. He was furious and pointed at Ye Heng as he roared out,
“How dare you! What are you doing! I…”
Zhou Jing suddenly raised his hand and stopped Ye Shunzhong. He deliberately stared at Ye Heng expressionlessly, until the other party’s forehead was covered in sweat.
“Little brother, since you toasted me, I’ll toast you back.”
“W-What?”
Ye Heng did not manage to react to his words properly.
In the next moment, his body suddenly floated involuntarily and was swept up by a gust of wind, flying out of the main hall.
Zhou Jing also stood up and followed him out.
The people from the Ye family jumped in shock and hurriedly chased after them.
As soon as they arrived in the courtyard, everyone saw Ye Heng rolling in the air, unable to land on the ground due to the strong wind. He was constantly moving up and down.
“Daoist! Daoist Sir, I was wrong!”
Ye Heng was scared out of his wits and screamed in fear. He wanted to struggle, but he had nowhere to use his strength. He could only struggle helplessly in the air.
Zhou Jing pretended not to hear and said calmly.
“This divine power of mine can control the Thunder Duke, Mother of Lightning, the Wind Generals and Cloud Soldiers. It’s mysterious and ever-changing. Since Little Brother admires my divine power, I’ll let you taste it.”
Actually, what did Bill know about lightning? He could only control the wind!
However, since he had to brag, he naturally had to exaggerate. Only by exaggerating would others not be able to determine his true background.
How could Ye Heng not know that Zhou Jing was punishing him? He hurriedly shouted in panic.
Seeing this, Zhou Jing retracted his magic power.

Ye Heng fell to the ground in the courtyard, still in shock. He touched his chest and felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
Before anyone could speak, Zhou Jing cut them out by indifferently speaking,
“On account of that you did not have any evil intentions, I’ll only punish you slightly. However, I see that you’re not very welcoming of me, so I won’t force you. I’ll leave now.”
With that, Zhou Jing left without hesitation.
At this moment, the people from the Ye family finally recovered from their shock. They were shocked and rushed forward to persuade him to stay.
“Daoist Ling Fengzi, what are you talking about? Our Ye family is honored that you’re willing to stay here. How can we not welcome you?!”
“It’s just some juniors messing around. Daoist, don’t take it to heart.”
“Ye Heng! Get over here and kowtow to the Daoist!”
Many of the Ye family members fought to speak. They were extremely enthusiastic, like two different people compared to their previous cold appearances.
After witnessing Zhou Jing’s mysterious methods with their own eyes, everyone knew that they had made a huge mistake. Ye Shunzhong was right. This person was really an expert, and he was the kind of expert who was extremely powerful!
How could they let go of such a strange person?
Many of the Ye family members regretted their bad attitude just now and ignored the expert. However, they could not be bothered that they were flattering him only at this point. Their attitudes were as humble as possible. They smiled brightly like blooming chrysanthemums and tried their best to persuade Zhou Jing to stay.
The other party had already lived in their house and formed a good relationship. If they angered such an expert and chased him away, they would be at a huge loss!
Ye Shunzhong was angry that his family had made an unnecessary move and almost ruined his efforts. He hurriedly followed by the side and advised,
“Daoist, don’t be angry. They don’t know how capable you are, so they have doubts. I apologize to you on their behalf. I hope that Daoist will let me do my best as a host.”
Hearing this, Zhou Jing stopped and pretended to think for a while before nodding heavily,
“Alright, since we were fated to begin with, On account of your words, I won’t hold it against you.”
“Daoist, you’re noble and upright. We’re ashamed!”
Everyone was overjoyed and hurriedly offered a series of good words to welcome Zhou Jing back to the banquet.
This time, the atmosphere became extremely enthusiastic. Everyone took turns to toast Zhou Jing in fear and trepidation.
At this moment, no one felt that Zhou Jing’s cold attitude was inappropriate. They only felt that this was the nature of an expert. They were flattered to be able to speak to Zhou Jing during the toast and were so excited that their faces turned red.
Ye Heng picked up his wine again and trembled as he spoke with a cramped expression,
“Daoist, Daoist Ling Fengzi, I didn’t know who you were in person and had the intention to play with you. I offended you, Daoist. I was really blind and didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth. I hope you can forgive me.”
Zhou Jing waved his hand and chuckled,
“It’s fine. I don’t care anymore. However, your inner strength is quite good for your age.”
Hearing this, Ye Heng’s body trembled.
As expected, how could such an expert not know martial arts? He had long discovered his little tricks, it was impossible to hide it from him!
Ye Heng became even more respectful.
Zhou Jing dealt with the enthusiastic Ye family members casually, but he nodded to himself.
He had originally planned to show off in front of the entire Ye family and suppress them, turning those who suspected him into supporters.
