After resolving the previous incident, they proceeded towards the Residency hall. They strolled around for a few minutes, navigating through the building numbers until they eventually reached the designated house indicated on the token.

Wang Ming's eyebrows furrowed as his gaze fell upon a group of people congregating in front of the house which was on his token. Noticing a young man holding two women in each of his arms, he slowly started to approach the group with steady steps while listening to their conversation

"I've heard that this is the last unclaimed numbered house. I want this one, Elder Gu, Elder Min," the man proclaimed arrogantly, his tone filled with entitlement. The elders in charge seemed to be fawning over him, while one of them wore a frown, disapproving of his actions.

"Of course, Disciple Fan Yu, you are indeed one of the few worthy individuals to occupy this room," replied Elder Gu with a smile, clearly showing favoritism.

"Elder Min, do you have the token? Please unlock the door for Young Master Fan Yu," Elder Gu instructed, while Elder Min's voice trembled with nervousness.

"N-no, Elder Gu, it appears that the token has been assigned to a new Outer Court Disciple," Elder Min stammered, his voice filled with uncertainty. This revelation caused Elder Gu's face to contort with rage.

"Elder Gu, I thought my family had paid a significant amount of Spirit Stones to secure this house for me. Are you trying to deceive my family? If they find out about this, they will have your head. So, hurry up and rectify the situation. I don't have all day," Fan Yu mentally conveyed with an arrogant and angry tone, causing cold sweat to appear on Elder Gu's back.

"Which family does this new Outer Court disciple belong to?" Elder Gu asked, his attempt to conceal his nervousness evident. Fan Yu also paid close attention, aware that there were families more powerful than his own, and provoking such a character could potentially endanger his life.

"Wait, let me check," Elder Min responded, retrieving the record of the house's owner.

"It appears to be someone named Wang Ming," Elder Min said, his voice tinged with confusion. In contrast, Elder Gu's face lit up with ecstasy, while Fan Yu wore an even more arrogant expression.

"I have never heard of the 'Wang' family before, so they must be poor or weak cultivators," Fan Yu remarked, dismissively. Elder Min couldn't help but look at Fan Yu as if he were an idiot. If someone had been granted permission to reside here, they must possess strength or have influential connections, he concluded that Wang Ming was someone formidable.

"Indeed, it must be so," Elder Gu said, wiping the sweat off his forehead.

"Hmm, I will wait here for the time being, I am certain he will eventually make his way here, and then I will take the token from him," Fan Yu declared arrogantly.

"But what if he refuses to surrender the token to you?" Elder Min inquired.

"Do you truly believe he would dare to defy me? I am a member of the esteemed Fan Family, and my elder brother holds the esteemed position of a core disciple within this sect. If he dares to withhold his token from me, I shall ruin his cultivation and shatter his legs," Fan Yu sneered, a malicious smile etched on his face. Elder Min could sense that this confrontation would not end well for Fan Yu.

Suddenly, their attention shifted towards a person accompanied by three captivating women approaching them. Fan Yu's eyes lit up upon seeing the otherworldly beauty of the women, and lust overcame him.

"May I inquire as to who you are? Are you a newly arrived disciple of our sect?" Elder Min asked.

"Yes, respected elder, I am Wang Ming, and these are my companions. I have come here to locate the house that has been assigned to me," Wang Ming replied respectfully, revealing the token engraved with the assigned house number.

"How dare you!" Fan Yu erupted before Elder Min or Elder Gu could utter a word.

Wang Ming turned his head towards Fan Yu, having overheard their conversation, but he acted as though he were oblivious

"Who are you?" Wang Ming asked, clearly perplexed by the situation.

"I am a member of the esteemed Fan Family. Hurry up and hand over your token to me. I have decided that I will be taking residence in this house from now on," Fan Yu declared arrogantly, expecting Wang Ming to immediately beg for forgiveness.

"But the elder entrusted this token to me. Why should I hand it over to you?" Wang Ming inquired, causing Elder Gu beside him to gasp in astonishment.

"Boy, he belongs to the Fan Family. Do you not understand the implications?" Elder Gu scowled, his frustration evident.

"So what if he belongs to the Fan Family?" Wang Ming retorted, causing Fan Yu to seethe with anger.

"How dare you speak in such a manner? Are you mocking me and the esteemed Fan Family?" Fan Yu exclaimed, expecting everyone to cower and grovel upon hearing his family name.

"I believe I am not," Wang Ming calmly responded, further fueling Elder Gu's fury.

"Disciple, immediately hand over the token, or I shall have you expelled from the sect!" Elder Gu snapped angrily, and Elder Min could sense that something ominous was about to unfold.

"I will offer you a choice. Surrender your cultivation immediately and hand over the three women by your side, and perhaps I will spare your life. Otherwise, don't expect to leave here alive," Fan Yu threatened, a malicious smile playing on his lips.

" Hehe, I couldn't agree more" Wang Ming chuckled

"I was under the impression that killing was strictly forbidden in this place. And do you honestly believe you can carry out such actions with the presence of the elders?" Wang Ming replied, raising an eyebrow in disbelief.

"I won't do a thing because his family holds significant power, and he can act with impunity. Might makes right, boy," Elder Gu sneered, confident in his statement.

"I see," Wang Ming calmly responded as he observed the smug expressions on both the elder and the disciple, before making a decision

" Hehe, I couldn't agree more" Wang Ming chuckled
