Beast Taming Chapter 48: Unexpected Provocation

"I don't accept it!"

These three short words were like three heavy artillery shots blasting in everyone's ears, awakening everyone who was intoxicated.

Everyone looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw a white man standing in the center of the hall, looking up with determination, staring directly at Hua Ruo who was sitting on the highest seat.

Shi Yan frowned greatly. What's wrong with this guy? How dare he make trouble in public?

"I didn't expect that such a great show would be staged right at the beginning of the ceremony." Qi Liuzhi said to Ji Zichen and Lin Dai with a smile.

Without waiting for anyone to speak, Tang Xi slammed the coffee table, stood up and shouted, "Yu Xinxia, ​​what kind of place do you think this is? Do you think you can mess around like this?"

There was a soft "puff" sound, and the people around laughed when they heard that a grown man had been given such a feminine name.

Yu Xinxia secretly glared at those people and looked at Tang Xi in surprise, her eyes full of confusion.

Hua Ruo, who was sitting in the first seat, glanced at Tang Xi thoughtfully, and her smile gradually faded. "Yu Xinxia? Yu Xinxia from Huajin Mansion?"

"It's me!" Hearing the master calling him, he responded quickly.

"You said you are not convinced, but why?" Hua Ruo asked.

Before Yu Xinxia could speak, she found that Tang Xi stood up and said to Hua Ruo: "Master, the apprenticeship ceremony has not yet been completed, why don't you take this lunatic into custody first..."

Hua Ruo glanced at Tang Xi and said, "Our Huajian Sect is not a one-man show. Since he is dissatisfied, why don't you listen to him?"

Tang Xi felt embarrassed and had to retreat, but no one saw the mysterious smile on her face when she turned around.

Yu Xinxia looked at Tang Xi in confusion, not knowing why he wanted to stop her. "Didn't we agree on this at the beginning..."

At this time, Hua Ruo's voice came, interrupting his thoughts, "Yu Xinxia, ​​why are you dissatisfied? Tell me."

Yu Xinxia took a deep breath, pointed at Shi Yan, and said loudly: "He is only at the third level of Huamai. How can he be qualified to be called the master's disciple?"

The sound spread throughout the hall like the sound of a bell. Everyone was stunned at first, and then they started to shout, "The third level of Huamai, no way!"

"Is Sect Leader Hua crazy or did I hear wrongly to accept a waste of the third level of Huamai as his disciple?"

Tang Xi looked at Hua Ruo who was sitting in the first seat and chuckled to herself, "Hua Ruo, Hua Ruo, aren't you very capable? Let me see how you deal with this!"

At the same time, Qi Liuzhi laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe. "The third level of Huamai, it's really interesting. This person is at least twenty years old. He looks quite normal, but I didn't expect him to be a waste!"

Ji Zichen smiled and didn't answer, but his eyes were full of disdain.

"Brother Ji and Brother Lin, do you think Hua Ruo is blind to accept a loser as his disciple, or does he have some talent in some area?"

Qi Liuzhi showed a manly smile and said.

"Maybe!" Ji Zichen smiled. This kind of insignificant person is like the sand in the desert. You won't remember him even if you see him once. Ji Zichen had long forgotten that he had seen him in Kong Hai Qianfu, and his eyes at that time were exactly the same as now, but Shi Yan remembered it in his mind.

People inside and outside the hall were whispering and talking, and some were even pointing fingers at Shi Yan.

"I'm the only one who didn't catch the Sect Master's eye and had his competition cancelled. Turns out to be a waste at the third level of Huamai!" someone in the crowd shouted.

Shi Yan watched coldly, standing on the main hall, enduring the criticism of thousands of people without wavering. He looked at everyone below and memorized the faces of everyone who looked down on him deeply in his mind.

"Today, I, Shi Yan, am still a Huamai cultivator and I will let you point fingers at me. But tomorrow, I will make all of you look up to me!" Shi Yan's voice was not loud, but it sounded like thunder and spread throughout the hall and outside the hall, and a sense of momentum arose spontaneously!

Suddenly, the noisy noise in the hall came to an abrupt end, like the sound of a piano being cut off. Everyone looked at him in surprise, stunned by his aura.

Hua Ruo looked at Shi Yan with appreciation and smiled in her heart.

Qi Liuzhi, Ji Zichen and Lin Dai looked at each other and laughed loudly, "Brother Shi, you have ambition, you have ambition!" But then, they changed the subject, "Although you have lofty ambitions, other than ambition, I don't see why Sect Leader Hua would accept you as his disciple."

Everyone in the hall felt that what Qi Liuzhi said made sense. Ambition and dreams are something that everyone here has, so why is it that only you, Shi Yan, can become the master's disciple?

"The decision made by the Sect Master has her reasons. Does the Sect Master need your consent before accepting a disciple?" Mingxiang was an outer disciple and could only stand outside the hall. Although she knew that she had no right to speak here, she still spoke out in support when she saw Shi Yan being besieged by so many people.

"That's right, can't the leader be his own master?" Some outer disciples of Huajian Sect also spoke up.

Shi Yan looked at Mingxiang and the outer sect sisters with gratitude, "It's really not in vain that I've been so kind to you all!"

"Yes!" Everyone then remembered that it was the leader of the Huajian Sect who wanted to accept disciples. The standards for accepting disciples were naturally set by her herself. No matter whether one was qualified or not, as long as she thought it was qualified, it would be fine. Why should they have the right to interfere?

"How dare you! Do you have the right to talk in this hall?" Tang Xi saw that the situation was not right, his face darkened, and he shouted at the outer disciples outside the hall.

"That's not true. We are all Huajian disciples, so they naturally have the qualifications to speak!" Second Uncle-Master said. Tang Xi looked at Second Uncle-Master hatefully. Although Mingxiang was an outer disciple, she was her disciple after all, so she would naturally protect her.

Qi Liuzhi squinted his eyes and looked at the scene in the hall, thinking to himself, "It turns out that the Huajian Sect is not a monolithic entity." He glanced at Yu Xinxia standing in the hall, smiled slightly, and thought that he should find something to do. So he walked out of the line and stood beside Yu Xinxia, ​​opened a folding fan and fanned it slowly, and said with a smile: "Hello, Master Hua, seniors, although I, Qi Liuzhi, am not a disciple of the Huajian Sect, but this is related to the future of this brother next to me, I must come out to seek justice."

When Tang Xi saw Qi Liuzhi step out to speak for Yu Xinxia, ​​his eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly said, "What kind of justice do you want? Speak out for everyone to hear and comment. Our Huajian Sect is not an unreasonable place."

Seeing Yu Xinxia stunned on the spot, Qi Liuzhi pushed him and whispered in his ear: "Brother Yu, if you have any objections, you can speak up now. If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again!"

Yu Xinxia looked at Qi Liuzhi with gratitude, clasped her hands together, and said, "There are many people here who have higher cultivation than him, and there are also one or two people with great potential and comprehension. Why did you choose him and not any of us?"

Qi Liuzhi added, "As the chief disciple of Donghu Palace, although I cannot participate in the disciple selection competition of Master Hua, I am still quite curious about the requirements for selecting disciples. I also want to hear how Master Hua selects disciples."

When Qi Liuzhi came out, Shi Yan observed him from time to time. Every word he said was likely to represent the Donghu Palace behind him, or the voice of the Donghu Palace. Donghu Palace in Zimu Liuhua Domain was slightly better than the Yunxiao Sect, Tongjian Sect and other large sects, but it was much stronger than the Huajian Sect, which was in the middle to lower level. Therefore, he, Donghu Palace, didn't need to care about other people's opinions when he wanted to do something to the Huajian Sect.

Shi Yan secretly calculated that except for a few sects that had a long history of friendship with Huajian Sect, the rest of them had some greed for Huajian Sect, just like looking at the food on the plate and the meat on the chopping board. Before today, he had never worried about the future of Huajian Sect, but from the moment he stood in the hall today, he suddenly found that he had developed some interest in the future of Huajian Sect, but considering the current situation, it would be more appropriate to say that he was worried.

Although Hua Ruo had been silent since the beginning and was looking at everyone in the hall, it did not mean that she had nothing to say. She just didn't bother to say anything.

The ancestors of the sect all stood on her side, and Dali Dayi naturally stood by her side. The reason why she didn't say anything and let them jump around in the field was just to observe the big picture from a small perspective. She wanted to see how many forces were unfriendly to her side.

"My Huajian Sect has its own standards, just like your Donghu Palace has its own standards. How can my Huajian Sect explain this to your Donghu Palace?"

Qi Liuzhi raised his eyebrows and said loudly, "Master Hua, this is what you did wrong. You opened the door to recruit disciples. Although we are here, you want to drive us away without giving us any reason. Isn't this a bit unfair? Don't you think so?"

Everyone immediately started to cheer, "Yes, Brother Qi is right!"

Tang Xi looked at Hua Ruo with a smile, his eyes full of amusement.

"Then what do you say we should do?" Shi Yan took a step forward and looked around at everyone calmly.

"It's very simple!" Qi Liuzhi folded his fan and said, "Brother Yu, please!"

Yu Xinxia nodded at him and looked at Shi Yan, "If you can show us your strength that can impress us, we will naturally admit defeat!"

"..." Shi Yan was about to speak, but was interrupted by a sudden laugh coming from outside the hall, "Hahahaha!"

"Who do you think you are? How dare you bet with Brother Shi?"
