80 -078: Call Me Back
The next morning, Xiao Ye awakened from his cultivation, feeling that his skills had improved significantly.
A mere thought caused the True Qi in his Dantian to surge wildly.
“My Innate True Qi still shows no signs of liquefying.
It seems it will take some time to step into the Innate Realm Fourth Level.”
“However, once I enter the Inner Sect, I can cultivate indefinitely in the Chongyang Secret Realm, greatly shortening the time needed for True Qi to liquefy.” Xiao Ye smiled slightly.
There’s no denying it, the Chongyang Secret Realm holds an immense allure for him.
“Let’s see how Big Mouth is doing.” Xiao Ye opened the door and walked out.
In the courtyard, Yu Fang, Li Wufeng, and Long Shaojie were having breakfast.
After Xiao Ye finished eating, he greeted the three and left.
He first went to the Treasure Hall.
With the eighteen thousand points from Wang Tianxiang in hand, he exchanged some treasures useful for Shao Yan, and then headed straight to the area where the Registered Disciples resided.
The Chongyang Mountain Range spans a vast area, and in the Chongyang Sect, Registered Disciples hold a low status and can only live on the outskirts of the mountain range.
They usually handle the sect’s chores, akin to servants.
On the outskirts of the Chongyang Sect Mountain Range, many dilapidated wooden cabins stood, exuding a musty odor.
The environment was extremely poor.
Inside one of the wooden cabins, a young man sat cross-legged on a wooden bed.
If Xiao Ye were here, he would surely recognize him as Shao Yan.
Currently, Shao Yan looked much thinner, with unkempt hair, and his robes bore many footprints.
His exposed skin was bruised, looking rather miserable.
“Those bastards dared to bully me!
Once I advance to Innate and become an Outer Disciple, I’ll beat them so badly even their parents won’t recognize them!” Shao Yan moved his body, triggering his injuries.
The pain made him grimace and curse incessantly.
“Damn it, this place is really unfit for humans.
There’s endless work every day, not even leaving time for cultivation!”
“I’m only at the Postnatal Realm Ninth Layer Middle Stage now, and I have no idea when I can enter the Outer Sect and see Ye Zi.”
“Ye Zi, brother, I’m having such a rough time here.
Why don’t you come and see me?”
…
Even though Shao Yan was alone in the cabin, he remained his talkative self.
Bam!
At that moment, the cabin door was suddenly kicked open, and a man and a woman walked in.
“Zhu Yi!”
Shao Yan’s expression changed, gritting his teeth as he uttered the name.
“Shao Yan, today’s work will be left to you.” The blue-robed youth swaggered in, his voice casual.
Beside him, a seductive woman in a red dress that seemed to dance like flames stood.
Upon hearing those words, Shao Yan clenched his fists until they cracked.
Every day, Registered Disciples of the Chongyang Sect have many chores to complete.
The youth named Zhu Yi often dumped his and the woman’s chores onto Shao Yan, and if Shao Yan didn’t comply, it would result in a physical beating.
Zhu Yi’s strength was originally higher than Shao Yan’s.
Moreover, he had an elder brother who had become an Outer Disciple long ago and was reputed to be at the peak of the Outer Sect, making Zhu Yi dominant among Registered Disciples, untouchable by anyone.
The injuries on his body were precisely from being beaten by Zhu Yi.
Zhu Yi’s lips curled into a sneer, “What?
Do you still want to resist?
Do you want to get beaten again?”
Fury surged within Shao Yan, but he could only forcefully suppress it, standing there in silence.
Seeing Shao Yan’s demeanor, Zhu Yi’s sneer grew more disdainful, deliberately provoking, “I heard you have a friend named Xiao Ye, a Son of County level genius.
Why don’t you have him back you up?
Maybe my brother would even fear him?”
Poof!
The girl beside him giggled, “Brother Yi, stop joking.
Xiao Ye is just a worthless nobody.
He’s struggling to survive in the Outer Sect, how could he compare to your brother?”
This seductive girl, her features exquisite, was Hong Wu, who had once been rejected by Xiao Ye.
After becoming a Registered Disciple, she quickly allied herself with Zhu Yi, thriving among the Registered Disciples.
“Bitch!” Hearing Hong Wu mock Xiao Ye, Shao Yan couldn’t hold back any longer and cursed angrily.
“It’s a good thing Ye Zi rejected you.
You’re just a slut for everyone, what right do you have to speak about Ye Zi?”
Hong Wu’s face changed dramatically, rendered speechless with rage.
“Courting death!”
Zhu Yi’s eyes turned cold instantly.
He stepped forward, unleashing a powerful aura, and punched towards Shao Yan.
Bam!
Shao Yan raised his palm to block, but due to their significant disparity in strength, he was sent flying by a single punch.
Swish!
Zhu Yi swiftly charged, flipping Shao Yan over with a kick, followed by a brutal beating.
“Kneel and apologize to Hong Wu, or I’ll kill you today!” Zhu Yi shouted coldly.
“Hehehe…” With a bruised and swollen face, Shao Yan laughed wildly, a craze in his eyes, “That slut insulted Ye Zi.
Make her kneel and apologize to Ye Zi; otherwise, as long as I, Shao Yan, have a breath left, I’ll make sure to kill that slut!”
“Looks like you’re seeking death!” Zhu Yi’s eyes gleamed with cold light, and a True Qi-filled palm shot towards Shao Yan’s head.
If this palm landed, Shao Yan would undoubtedly be killed.
But before this moment arrived, Xiao Ye had already reached the mountain’s outskirts.
He asked someone for directions to Shao Yan’s residence, and when the Registered Disciple saw Xiao Ye’s Outer Disciple attire, he immediately became respectful and detailed the route.
“Big Mouth, I’m here to see you.” Xiao Ye followed the directions provided by the Registered Disciple and arrived at the cabin where Shao Yan lived.
At this moment, Shao Yan’s wild laughter echoed from within the cabin.
Xiao Ye’s expression changed.
He rushed in like a gust of wind, just in time to see Zhu Yi’s palm descending on Shao Yan’s head.
Boom!
Xiao Ye’s eyes shot out a chilling light.
A powerful Innate True Qi erupted, shattering the table and chair inside the cabin into pieces.
What is a friend?
After the entry test, when he went from a revered genius to a mocked pariah, only Shao Yan stayed by his side.
That is a friend!
Shao Yan, a verbose fellow, but a genuinely sincere friend!
“Get out!” Xiao Ye raised his hand and unleashed a burst of Innate True Qi, sending Zhu Yi flying across the room, crashing against the wall with a resounding thud.
This sudden turn of events left Hong Wu and Shao Yan stupefied.
“Xiao Ye?” Hong Wu murmured.
“Ye Zi!” Shao Yan excitedly scrambled up, clutching Xiao Ye’s hand.
“I thought I’d never see you again in this lifetime.”
“What took you so long to see me?”
“Do you know how miserable I’ve been?”
Shao Yan still had plenty to say, but to Xiao Ye, those words were heartwarmingly familiar.
As Xiao Ye’s gaze fell on Shao Yan, a monstrous killing intent surged.
How did Shao Yan turn from the cheerful person he once knew to this battered figure that barely resembled himself?
The bruises and internal injuries were haunting.
“Tell me, what happened.” Xiao Ye suppressed his inner rage and asked in a deep voice.
Shao Yan did not hold back, recounting his experiences over the past year.
Perhaps he had held it in for too long, as tears glimmered in his eyes.
After listening to Shao Yan’s story, Xiao Ye’s aura surged with fury as he gazed at the now-recovering Zhu Yi.
Under Xiao Ye’s gaze, Zhu Yi couldn’t help but shiver, yet at the thought of his brother, he regained his nerve.
“Kid, I know you.
You’re Xiao Ye, right?
I advise you not to lay a hand on me; my brother is Zhu Fei!” Zhu Yi shouted.
But upon hearing this name, Xiao Ye showed not a trace of fear.
Instead, he grabbed Zhu Yi, tossing him before Shao Yan.
“Let me go!
My brother is Zhu Fei, the number one in the Outer Sect!
If you dare touch me, I’ll have my brother kill you!” Zhu Yi bellowed.
Boom!
Xiao Ye coldly lifted a foot, stomping Zhu Yi, who was struggling to get up, flat on the ground.
Zhu Yi spat blood as the ground shook slightly.
“Big Mouth, however he hit you, hit him back for me!” Xiao Ye turned to Shao Yan.
Shao Yan quickly shook his head, “Ye Zi, let him go.
If I hit him, it’ll be hard for you to continue in the Outer Sect.”
“I said, hit!” Xiao Ye stated coldly.
That indisputable tone left Shao Yan momentarily stunned, then a maniacal gleam appeared on his face.
“Damn it, I’ll hit him!
Afterward, our brothers can just leave the sect!
I’ve held back for too long, it’s time to vent!”
Shao Yan’s eyes turned red as he fixed Zhu Yi with a vicious glare and, with a shout, charged forward.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
For a moment, the cabin was filled with dull thuds.
Shao Yan’s fists pounded into flesh, eliciting continuous screams from Zhu Yi as blood splattered.
“Mad, they’re absolutely mad.
They’re not afraid of Zhu Fei’s revenge?” Hong Wu stood aside, dumbfounded by the spectacle.
This frenzied beating lasted for a stick of incense’s time.
Zhu Yi’s face swelled like a pig’s head, ribs snapped who knows how many times, leaving him gasping for air.
“What a relief, such a relief!” Shao Yan felt refreshed after venting a year’s worth of frustration.
“Ye Zi, thank you!” Shao Yan expressed his gratitude to Xiao Ye sincerely.
Xiao Ye smiled slightly. freёnovelkiss.com
After venting, the cheerful Shao Yan of old seemed to have returned.
“I’ll definitely make my brother kill you!” Zhu Yi’s voice trembled as he lay on the floor, eyes filled with unending hatred.
After venting, Shao Yan calmed down completely and hurriedly told Xiao Ye, “Ye Zi, you need to leave quickly.
I’ll take the blame for this.
I never wanted to stay here anyway; being expelled from the sect isn’t a big deal.”
“But you’re different.
You’re an Outer Disciple with a bright future ahead.”
Yet Xiao Ye showed no intention of leaving.
Instead, he brought out a stool from the cabin, sat down calmly, and then glanced at Zhu Yi.
“Alright, I’ll give you two hours to go get your brother.
I want to see if he dares to kill me.” Xiao Ye’s words left Zhu Yi stunned, followed by an ecstatic expression.
“Alright, just you wait!” Supporting himself on Hong Wu, Zhu Yi left this remark, limping out of the cabin and swiftly leaving.
“Ye Zi, are you crazy!” Shao Yan’s face was filled with anxiety.
Zhu Fei has been in the Outer Sect for a long time and is the undisputed number one, reaching the late-stage of the Innate Realm Third Level.
How could Xiao Ye, just a year into the sect, possibly compare to him?
“It seems these Registered Disciples are unaware that I’ve passed the Puppet Tower.” Xiao Ye sneered inwardly.
He was eager to see if that number one in the Outer Sect dared to make a move against him.
