While Fu Yang and Ming Ze were looking for a way to get to the other side, Yu Feng was taking care of his juniors.
As the oldest among them, he was the one in charge.
Currently, they were training inside the house. Due to the sighting of a 7-Star Black Panther in the forest, it was dangerous to go out at this time, especially when their master had been gone for a week.
Yu Feng looked at the sleeping Shi Wen on the rocking chair. Ever since the two of them finished jogging around the living room, Shi Wen immediately sat down, and slumber took over him.
Meanwhile, Fu Cheng was excited for the next exercise, but after a few minutes, he slumped down on the floor, trying to catch his breath.
"Fu Cheng! You've only done two sets, there are 3 more to go! Don't just lie down there!"
"But... I'm tired, I'm just gonna rest."
He had only been jumping for a few minutes with the skipping rope, but he already felt too tired.
Those few minutes were hell for him, slowly torturing his legs and knees.
How did developing the body before starting cultivation be so torturous? Wasn't there another way, an easy one so he can immediately start cultivating?
"You can rest for 30 seconds in between reps, not the whole hour. How can you develop strength in your lower body by being like that?"
Yu Feng felt really tired of babysitting. One was only enthusiastic at the start, while the other would sleep right after jogging.
He really hoped that his master would return soon. He also needed guidance for his cultivation too.
While they were training inside the house, an announcement was broadcasted throughout the Elder's subdivision.
"Attention to all the Elders of the Heavenly Cosmic Sect, a meeting will take place at the Elder's Auditorium in 30 minutes. All Elders are required to attend or send a representative. Failure to attend will result in a salary cut for the whole year. Thank you."
As soon as he heard the announcement, Yu Feng was speechless. It seemed like he would be the one to attend this meeting in place of his Master.
Shi Wen was too young, and Fu Cheng hadn't even started cultivating. They would surely crumble in front of the might of many experts all at once.
However, he didn't know what to do. This would be his first time attending such a meeting, and his master wasn't even here to guide him.
"Fu Cheng... I will just go and attend the meeting. When Shi Wen wakes up, take care of him and don't even think of going out."
Hearing that Yu Feng was going out, Fu Cheng nodded very fast. He would spend this time resting as he was really tired.
After giving his instructions, Yu Feng went out while looking through his Energy Phone to search for the meeting place on the map.
However, as soon as he looked towards the sky, he saw at least 20 Elders flying with their Flying Bikes. He didn't need to use the map on his Energy Phone anymore; he would just follow them.
While following them, a mature looking Elder noticed him.
"You're Fu Yang's disciple, right? Come with me. You'll be late if you go on foot."
Without hesitation, Yu Feng nodded and accepted the Elder's proposal. He didn't want to be late for the meeting and risk being viewed negatively.
Yu Feng sat down on the passenger saddle of the Elder's Flying Bike. Although it was a bit uncomfortable, he didn't complain.
"Hold on tight. We don't have seatbelts, you see."
Confused by the Elder's words, he held onto the pointed part of the saddle with both hands. When the Elder saw his actions, he gave a small nod and pedaled with all his might.
They were way behind the other Elders, so the Elder had to pedal with all his strength to catch up.
Yu Feng was taken aback by the sudden increase in speed. If he didn't hold onto the saddle tightly, he might have flown away already.
Even though the Elder was going too fast, he didn't voice any disagreement. In his current position, he didn't have the right. He might get kicked out while they were flying.
As soon as they got near the crowd of Elders pedaling their Flying Bikes, the Elder slowed down his pace to join the crowd.
"Oh, Elder Su, where did you go?"
'So the Elder's name is Elder Su.' Yu Feng mentally noted the name of the Elder he heard in between the conversation.
"Elder Wen, I saw our Youngest Elder's disciple walking, so I thought, why not go together, right?"
Getting the response from Elder Su, Elder Wen resumed looking in front of him to avoid getting into an accident with another Elder.
"That's good. I wonder what the meeting is all about."
Elder Wen was always in his office inventing new technology, so he hadn't heard the news about the 7-Star Black Panther.
"Elder Wen, you should go out of your intention room once in a while. You're not up-to-date with the recent news!"
"Outside news doesn't amuse me. They're usually the same."
As they continued their chatter, they soon arrived at their destination.
The two put their Flying Bikes inside their Spatial Rings and went to take a seat in front of the Elder's Auditorium. Elder Su invited Yu Feng to sit together, but as soon as he heard that they wanted to sit in front, Yu Feng rejected the invitation.
He didn't want to attract any attention to himself and as the only disciple that would seat in front, he definitely will become the center of attention from the other Elders.
Slowly, the whole Auditorium began to fill up. Soon, the seat beside him was also occupied by two fellow disciples. On his left was a burly young man, and on the other side was a long-haired guy with white blindfolds.
Although he was curious why the guy was wearing those blindfolds, he didn't ask any questions to satisfy his curiosity.
Soon, an Elder with a long white beard and a bald head appeared at the center. It seemed like he would be the one presiding over the meeting.
"Good afternoon, everyone. We are gathered here today because of the recent appearance of the 7-Star Black Panther on the Sect's grounds..."
Throughout the meeting, the Elder narrated what happened according to the witnesses.
"... Although there seems to be no movement from the 7-Star Black Panther, let's all be careful. Black Panthers are good at blending within the shadows."
Though the meeting was boring, Yu Feng still diligently took notes with his Energy Phone. He would send a summary of the meeting to his Master later on.
Seeing Yu Feng taking notes, the burly man couldn't help but peek at his phone.
"Are you taking down notes to send to your Master? Send me a copy too."
