"Bad guys always have a foul smell around them."

Hearing Lee Tao's words, Deng Lun couldn't help but laugh loudly.

"You're only half right, Young Master Lee Tao. Whether they are good or bad people, they would always have a foul smell lingering in them." Deng Lun corrected.

"After all, good and bad are determined by each other's own perspective. They are extremely subjective and cannot be a fact at all." He added.

Lee Tao nodded his head in agreement.

"Your logic is indeed reasonable, Deng Lun. However, what I'm curious about the most is… How did you know I would be here?" Lee Tao asked as his expression turned solemn.

Throughout his journey, Lee Tao had made sure to leave no trace behind. 

Of course, he had long known that Liu Ying's profound qi was marked in him, but he didn't mind her method since she only wanted to know if he's safe.

However, he didn't discover anything else except that and he knew Liu Ying wasn't the traitor either.

Meanwhile, Deng Lun held a sinister expression as he tilted his head to glance at Deng Lijuan instead.

"Seems like you are still alive huh," Deng Lun asked with a fierce expression.

Deng Lijuan held a confused look as she glanced at his father.

"W-Why are you speaking like that, father?" Deng Lijuan asked in a somewhat shocked tone.

The current appearance of her father was unlike anything she had ever seen before.

"Don't call me father, Deng Lijuan." Deng Lun snorted coldly. "You are not even my real daughter. Just a dumb girl I picked up along the road, thinking that you will be useful in my career." 

Deng Lijuan was dumbfounded as she found her breathing becoming more difficult.

Things were happening way too fast for her to even comprehend what's happening.

"Alright, enough of the melodrama and shocking revelation. I just want my refund, okay?" Lee Tao snapped his fingers and brought them back to the main topic.

"Whether Deng Lijuan is your daughter or not, the fact remains that my 3 silver coins have been scammed by you. Hence, hand it over and you can continue your dramatic play." 

Deng Lun ignored Deng Lijuan's reaction as he returned his attention back to Lee Tao.

"Young Master Lee Tao, I know you have easily defeated someone in Lin Cai's level, but don't think you can defeat me either. We have studied you for long enough." Deng Lun chuckled softly.

Lee Tao raised an eyebrow.

'Xiao Chu, have you investigated his identity yet?' Lee Tao sent a mental transmission to Xiao Chu.

He had been curious about Deng Lun's identity ever since he first saw him.

There was just something familiar about him and his mother, but he couldn't connect the dot.

'After a few hours of investigation, I can determine that Deng Lun had cultivated a special type of technique- one that is similar to your mother, Liu Ying.' Xiao Chu replied.

Lee Tao nodded his head as he finally got some gist of the situation.

"It seems like you know about my mother," Lee Tao said as he glanced at Deng Lun. "I suppose you are from a sect that my mother used to be in, right?"

Deng Lun curled his lips upward as he clapped his hand in admiration.

"As expected of someone being born by Liu Ying. Didn't expect my identity to be revealed this quickly." Deng Lun laughed heartily.

"Oh please, spare me the praises. You are like a piece of cow poop trying to smear on my clean clothes." Lee Tao sneered coldly.

Accepting his compliments was enough to make him vomit. 

After all, only a piece of shit like him would adopt a daughter and then proceed to treat her like trash after her usefulness is over.

"I'm glad my mother left her sect. Otherwise, I might be a little bit afraid of what she will turn into." Lee Tao shrugged his shoulders as he glanced at the lifeless Deng Lijuan.

She was the only one confused at this whole situation where her father is not really her father. And that she was merely a disposable pawn used by Deng Lun.

"Since you did cook me a decent scrambled egg dish, then I shall be generous to wipe this memory away from you." Lee Tao patted her shoulder as he made an eye signal to Xiao Chu.

Within a few seconds, Xiao Chu altered the memories of Deng Lijuan as she fainted from the process.

Meanwhile, Deng Lun waited patiently as he smiled at Lee Tao.

"Are we done with the idle chat now?" Deng Lun asked.

Lee Tao nodded his head.

"Indeed we are… I just can't wait to trample the shit out of you and find out how you knew I'll be here." Lee Tao smirked.

Without hesitation, Lee Tao made an explosive step as he propelled himself toward Deng Lun.

Deng Lun's eyes flickered in excitement as he was going to enjoy this battle.

BANG!

A loud sound echoed throughout the Chiyun Tavern as Lee Tao and Deng Lun's profound qi collided together.

Soon, the building of the Chiyu Tavern started to collapse. Debris began falling off from the ceiling as the fighting continued to turn intense.

"Hahaha, I have never seen such a talented youth in my life. Alas, it's a shame that you are the traitor's son." Deng Lun snickered coldly as his eyes turned fiery red.

"Plasmatic Shot!"

Deng Lun screamed aloud as he blasted a wave of profound qi toward Lee Tao's direction.

Lee Tao narrowed his eyes as he quickly exuded a powerful aura.

"Hmph, just some fancy name without substance. Reverse Force!"

A large barrier was cast by Lee Tao and Deng Lun's eyes turned wide open.

"What the crap?!! That's fucking cheating!" Deng Lun cursed aloud when he witnessed his Plasmatic Shot get rebounded.

However, that wasn't the worst case either.

And that was because his own Plasmatic Shot was being rebounded back to him.

"Have a taste of your own medicine, Deng Lun."
