“Elder Xu, since the disciples of the Lingjian Sect are so eager to fight, could I perhaps spar with him?”
Chen Yu smiled genially at Elder Xu.
Elder Xu felt a chill run down his spine under Chen Yu’s gaze and struggled to put his discomfort into words.
On the other side, the man in green clothes felt overjoyed at hearing this.
“Master, since this junior brother is also interested, why not let your disciple compete against him?”
The man in green looked at Elder Xu, pleased with himself as if his goal had been achieved.
However, as soon as he finished speaking,
Slap!
Elder Xu slapped him across the face, the blow landing heavily on the man in green’s cheek.
The man in green touched his numb face, stunned in place, his mind buzzing, his thoughts blank.
Around them, the other disciples stood frozen, not quite understanding the scene before them.
The man in green challenging Chen Yu was supposedly a great opportunity to humiliate Chen Yu and promote the might of the Lingjian Sect.
So why was Elder Xu so angry? Why had he publicly slapped his disciple?
At that moment, the man in green regained his composure, his eyes wide with shame and astonishment as he stared at Elder Xu, feeling aggrieved.
Why would his master strike him, especially in front of so many people?
“Yan’er, guests should be treated with respect. As a disciple of the Lingjian Sect, how can you provoke our guest?”
Elder Xu immediately rebuked him, looking very annoyed.
In secret, Elder Xu sent a voice message to the man in green: “You unfilial disciple, do you realize what you’re doing? By challenging Chen Yu, you’re bringing disgrace on yourself; as your master, I am saving you!”
Elder Xu’s heart ached; though he had struck his disciple, it was for his own good—he was saving him.
Elder Xu felt his intentions were misunderstood.
Only after hearing his master’s voice message did the man in green begin to calm down.
Could it be that this disciple from the Yunyue Sect was truly formidable, and he was no match for him? That must be why his master was stopping him— to protect him.
Wait!
“Master just said this young man’s name is Chen Yu!”
A wave of realization hit the man in green.
Chen Yu? Wasn’t he the Yunyue Sect disciple who had joined forces with Ye Luofeng, fended off Elder Chai, and fled with two treasures?
If the man before them was indeed Chen Yu, then having acquired the Moon Spirit Ore Mother, it was quite possible for his cultivation to have surged past his own.
It must be so; Chen Yu might have already broken through to the Early Innate stage.
“My apologies for my earlier words,” said the man in green, though he did so reluctantly.
Yet to Zhang You and the other disciples, this scene suggested something else entirely.
Clearly, Elder Xu was protecting this outsider disciple, even publicly disciplining his own disciple.
Feeling pity for the man in green for having such a biased elder as his master, their hearts aligned with the wronged disciple.
Regardless, Elder Xu held a high position within the sect, and none of them dared openly question his actions.
Except for one person—Zhang You.
Zhang You’s master was none other than Elder Qiu, a Supreme Elder within the sect.
Even if Zhang You insulted Elder Xu, Elder Xu wouldn’t dare retaliate against him.
“Elder Xu, Yan’er only wished to spar with this guest. By protecting an outsider disciple and publicly striking Yan’er, are you not being unfair?”
Zhang You’s gaze fixed on Elder Xu.
When he learned that Ye Luofeng was Chen Yu’s maidservant, he felt as though the sky had fallen, overwhelmed with distress.
At this point, the man in green stood up to challenge Chen Yu, an act that touched Zhang You.
But as it happened, Elder Xu had slapped the man in green in front of them all.
Zhang You felt he needed to stand up for his brother, to voice his grievance.
Elder Xu’s expression stiffened.
He had just managed to explain things to his disciple and settle the matter.
But Zhang You, the sect’s Leading Disciple, had to complicate things!
Elder Xu was tempted to slap Zhang You too, but remembering that Zhang You’s master was Elder Qiu, he restrained himself.
“Zhang You, it was just that Yan’er was too impulsive, which is why I stopped him. Now that Yan’er has calmed down and realized his error, how can you say I am being unfair?”
Elder Xu forced his anger down and spoke gently, then gave a meaningful look to his disciple.
“Brother Zhang, my master is right. I was too presumptuous just now; I should not have made such demands of Brother Chen!”
The man in green chuckled.
Yet, seeing this exchange, Zhang You grew even more indignant.
To him, it seemed Elder Xu must have pressured Yan’er into speaking this way.
As Elder Xu’s disciple, Yan’er naturally wouldn’t dare to defy his master’s will.
This made Zhang You even more sympathetic toward the man in green.
He could not swallow the insult.
“If Junior Sister Ye willingly follows you, you must indeed have extraordinary talent within the Yunyue Sect. Coincidentally, I have always been curious about the strength of Yunyue Sect disciples; would you be willing to enlighten me?”
Zhang You’s faced hardened as he looked at Chen Yu, his eyes brimming with a fighting spirit.
He was determined to defeat Chen Yu and vent his frustrations.
Witnessing this, Elder Xu felt deeply troubled.
He had just stopped his own disciple, and now the Leading Disciple of the Lingjian Sect was challenging Chen Yu.
He would rather have his own disciple be embarrassed than see the Leading Disciple of the Lingjian Sect humiliated by Chen Yu.
But Zhang You was Elder Qiu’s disciple, and he was set on challenging Chen Yu; how could Elder Xu stop him? freeweɓnovel.cѳm
“Not interested,” Chen Yu replied coolly.
To be honest, he didn’t have much time to waste “enlightening” others.
Besides, he didn’t like Zhang You. Why should he bother giving guidance?
Upon hearing Chen Yu’s words, Elder Xu breathed a sigh of relief.
However,
“Aren’t you being a bit too dismissive? I am the Leading Disciple of the Lingjian Sect. Do you mean to say that I, Zhang You, am not worthy to be your opponent?”
Zhang You’s anger intensified, his expression turning fierce.
“I kindly asked Brother Chen to impart a lesson or two,” that was just a polite way of speaking.
But Chen Yu actually responded that he wasn’t interested, making it seem as if Zhang You were a junior really asking Chen Yu, an elder, for advice.
“Not worthy!”
Chen Yu answered truthfully.
Currently, in the Lingjian Sect, the only one deemed worthy to be his opponent was probably only the Supreme Elder staying behind here.
Hearing these words, Zhang You almost burst with fury, his hands trembling, even wanting to draw his sword and stab directly.
“Hmph, this is the Lingjian Sect. Today, no matter what, you must have a match with me!”
Zhang You shouted angrily.
From childhood to adulthood, he had never been so humiliated.
Seeing Zhang You say such words, Elder Xu no longer stopped him.
He only hoped that Zhang You, through this failure, would recognize his shortcomings and work even harder in the future.
“Ah!”
Chen Yu sighed, somewhat helpless.
“If I win, you leave Junior Sister Ye of your own accord!”
Zhang You set the condition.
His purpose in challenging Chen Yu was naturally to rescue Ye Luofeng.
“And if you lose?”
Chen Yu asked. Without any benefit, he was too lazy to instruct Zhang You.
“Heh, if I lose, I am willing to become your servant.”
Zhang You sneered.
Him? Lose? How could that be possible!
As the chief disciple of the Lingjian Sect, how could he lose to a disciple of the Yunyue Sect?
Elder Xu, standing nearby, almost jumped out of his skin upon hearing this. The sect’s chief disciple becoming someone else’s servant, how could the Lingjian Sect show its face to anyone after that?
“I’m not particularly interested in that.”
Chen Yu revealed an embarrassed expression.
Zhang You was stunned for a moment, Chen Yu had actually refused!
It was as if he wasn’t even qualified to be Chen Yu’s servant!
“How about this, if you lose, your sect will agree to a small request of mine, as for the request, I’ll tell you later.”
Chen Yu thought for a while before speaking.
“Fine!”
Zhang You didn’t care about what Chen Yu said, as long as Chen Yu agreed to his challenge.
“Let’s go, we’ll fight on the martial arts platform, a fair and public match!”
Zhang You sneered.
He was determined to defeat Chen Yu in front of everyone, to thoroughly humiliate this arrogant kid.
Subsequently, a group began to move, heading towards the sect’s martial arts platform.
“No, I must tell Elder Qiu about this!”
Elder Xu thought to himself.
He handed this task over to his disciple.
On the way, Zhang You looked towards Ye Luofeng and patted his chest, as if saying, “Leave it all to me, I will surely rescue you.”
Ye Luofeng just shook her head, sighed softly, and stopped looking at Zhang You.
Soon, the crowd arrived at the martial arts platform.
At that moment, there were two disciples sparring on the platform, drawing quite a crowd of onlookers.
“Why has Brother Zhang come here?”
The arrival of Ye Luofeng, Zhang You, and the others immediately sparked discussion among the crowd.
Upon careful inquiry, they learned that Zhang You was actually going to compete in martial arts with a disciple from the Yunyue Sect!
Wasn’t this a blatant humiliation of the Yunyue Sect disciple? What was even more strange was that the Yunyue Sect disciple had agreed.
“There’s going to be a good show.”
Many Lingjian Sect disciples looked like they were sitting back to enjoy the show.
Soon, the sparring between the two Lingjian Sect disciples on the platform finished.
Whoosh!
Zhang You leaped and landed on the martial arts platform, his sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes giving him an extraordinary bearing, drawing screams from many female disciples.
“Come on up!”
Zhang You stared at Chen Yu, his voice cold.
“Chen Yu, don’t go too hard on him.”
Ye Luofeng made a small request.
After all, Zhang You was the sect’s chief disciple, and she often sparred with Zhang You while she was at the sect.
Chen Yu didn’t respond, stepping onto the martial arts platform.
However, that scene was also witnessed by Zhang You, who placed a hand on his aggrieved chest, and secretly vowed to teach Chen Yu a lesson later, to make Ye Luofeng see him in a new light.
“Ha ha ha, this disciple from Yunyue Sect is bold indeed, daring to compete with Brother Zhang!”
“Brother Zhang is our sect’s chief disciple, a direct disciple of the Supreme Elder, his cultivation has reached the peak of the Early-stage Innate, it is said that he has cultivated the ‘Heavenly Sword Technique’ to the eighth layer, and at full power, he could defeat someone in the Innate Middle Stage!”
…
“How about this, if you withstand three moves from me, then you win, and I will agree to your condition.”
After reaching the platform, Chen Yu began.
He always felt that competing against a junior in the Qi Transformation Realm was a bit like bullying, so Chen Yu gave the opponent a chance.
But as soon as these words came out, the crowd erupted in an uproar.
“This kid is too arrogant, I’ve roamed the sect for so many years, and this is the first time I’ve seen someone so arrogant!”
“Brother Zhang, give him a good thrashing!”
Scorn and calls for punishment rained down like a deluge.
“Ha ha ha, three moves?”
Zhang You’s expression twisted, he laughed wildly, then through gritted teeth, he coldly agreed, “Fine!”
He had already decided that within three moves, he would trample Chen Yu underfoot.
