Chapter 123 Reactions from All Parties
Sun Zhangtian knelt for a long time without daring to get up, but he never stopped flattering her.
He knew this master somewhat; he was someone who thought himself generous, but was actually narrow-minded. Perhaps he was used to everything going smoothly for him, because if anything displeased him, he would immediately change his attitude.
At the same time, if you can always stroke him in the right direction, you can get great benefits from him.
Sun Zhangtian begged for forgiveness, admitted his mistakes, and flattered him for a long time, but it was all to no avail, and his mind cleared up considerably.
Is this guy really angry because he fed the bear with those scum from the Dark Arena?
Definitely not.
Luo Zixiao is still his backer. If he really hated this kind of thing, he wouldn't have done it.
Sun Zhangtian initially thought that Luo Zixiao had been reprimanded because someone had come to tell him he had lost face. But now, thinking about it, if that were all, Luo Zixiao wouldn't have killed his bear, nor would he be so furious!
In an instant, Sun Zhangtian's heart tightened.
Something's not right!
He could roughly guess that it was probably Zhong Cai, that white lotus tea, who went back and gave Wu Shao a piece of her mind, and then complained.
But what else did those two love-struck fools do? With their abilities, what could they possibly accomplish?
Sun Zhangtian pondered the matter repeatedly in his mind, but still couldn't figure out the reason.
After pleading for a while, he said with some pain, "Master, it's all my fault. I've hurt you. I have nothing more to say, I only beg you to tell me which senior it was..."
At this point, Sun Zhangtian seemed overwhelmed with emotion, choked up, and unable to continue speaking.
·
If Sun Zhangtian continued to only beg for mercy, Luo Zixiao would actually feel better.
But now that he asked that question, Luo Zixiao was reminded of the time he was brutally beaten.
Luo Zixiao took a deep breath.
How come he never noticed before that this kid was so clueless!
·
...Actually, we can't blame Sun Zhangtian too much.
He was just putting on an act, trying to shift the blame onto the person who complained, since Wu Shaogan already annoyed Luo Zixiao!
By creating the atmosphere that "my master and I are on the same side," he also wanted to take the opportunity to find out if anything else had happened.
But Sun Zhangtian never imagined that his proud and vain master would be beaten up like that in front of countless people!
He's really hitting a nerve!
Therefore, Sun Zhangtian's hesitant manner infuriated Luo Zixiao.
Luo Zixiao is a Spirit Transformation Realm expert who has lived for so many years. How could he not see through his little scheme?
In that instant, he suddenly closed his eyes and reached out to grab Sun Zhangtian.
Sun Zhangtian suddenly felt a chill.
The next instant, he found that the level six treasure robe he was wearing close to his body had been forcibly floated out.
It fell into Luo Zixiao's hands.
Sun Zhangtian's pupils contracted, and he blurted out, "Master—"
·
This is a top-grade level 6 defensive armor. It can not only withstand various attacks from cultivators who have reached the Palace Building stage, but it can also weaken the attacks from cultivators who have reached the Spirit Transformation stage. It is an outstanding mystic artifact.
It was given to Sun Zhangtian by Luo Zixiao for self-defense after Sun Zhangtian became his disciple.
This also shows that Luo Zixiao values Sun Zhangtian highly—after all, not every senior mentor has the financial resources of Sang Yunchu and the strength of Jiang Chongguang.
However, precisely because it is so precious, Luo Zixiao only allowed Sun Zhangtian to use it for the time being, and did not let him refine it.
So now all Luo Zixiao needs to do is wave his hand, and the treasured garment will return to its original owner.
Sun Zhangtian never expected that his protective weapon would be taken away, and he was in disbelief for a moment.
Without this treasure, his safety—
·
Luo Zixiao sneered, "Even if you come back with me, you won't need this item anymore."
Sun Zhangtian was terrified!
Judging from Luo Zixiao's tone, was he going to arrest him and lock him up?!
He still has so many plans to complete! How can he be locked up!
Before Sun Zhangtian could say anything more, everything went black.
Then, he knew nothing more.
With a flick of his sleeve, Luo Zixiao took Sun Zhangtian into his Dao Palace.
Then he went outside.
·
There were guards outside the hidden arena, and when Luo Zixiao arrived, he did not conceal his presence.
Therefore, the Dark Arena hurriedly summoned a Spirit Transformation expert—fortunately, Silver Cauldron City is a Level 3 city, and there are Spirit Transformation experts in the Dark Market here.
Seeing that Luo Zixiao was in a hurry and was looking for his own disciple, the Spirit Transformation expert did not dare to disturb him, but simply watched from the side.
Now Luo Zixiao has strode away again, still without saying goodbye, and this Spirit Transformation cultivator also remains motionless.
After Luo Zixiao leaped away, Hua Ling from the Dark Market entered the private room that originally belonged to Sun Zhangtian.
In an instant, a bloody smell wafted over.
Behind the Dark Market Spirit Transformation cultivator were Palace-Building cultivators from the Dark Arena, Sun Zhangtian's personal steward, and the Dark Arena manager, among others.
They all discovered the mass of flesh and blood in the corner together.
It is exactly the shape of a rare and powerful bear that has been shaped by hand.
Dark Market Spirit Transformation remained calm as his gaze swept across the private room.
There was no loss.
Because the soundproofing array here is at a lower level, he had vaguely heard a few indistinct words when he used his hearing slightly earlier.
It's roughly saying that the disciple has disgraced the family.
The Dark Market Spirit Transformation asked, "What did that Azure Dragon disciple do here?"
The manager of the Dark Arena nudged Sun Zhangtian's personal steward.
The steward dared not hide anything and told him everything.
The Dark Market Spirit nodded: "In that case, it has nothing to do with us, so we don't need to bother with it."
Hearing this, the others breathed a sigh of relief.
The arrival of a powerful cultivator at the Spirit Transformation stage, fuming with rage, was truly frightening. It would have been better if they hadn't come looking for trouble.
Otherwise, even if the Dark Arena has a deep foundation and nothing serious will happen to it, these lowly underlings are still in great danger...
·
The Spirit Transformation cultivator in the dark market also had some business to attend to, so since he had nothing else to do, he left.
Then, the manager of the Dark Arena gestured to several of his trusted confidants.
The trusted confidants understood and dispersed.
They wouldn't publicize it extensively, but Sun Zhangtian's activities at the Dark Arena still made him quite famous.
It's definitely not going to continue now, and there's probably some speculation among the wrestlers.
Therefore, it's necessary to release some information to explain things and avoid causing any trouble.
·
Sun Zhangtian's arrest has indeed cut off the source of income for many wrestlers.
Some contestants who had been considering the matter more are now regretting their decision because the channel is no longer available.
However, the wrestlers who can think for so long are generally very thoughtful, so even if they regret it, they won't complain too much, they'll just say that they overthought things and missed their chance.
There was also some private discussion.
"No matter how flamboyant a disciple of a prestigious family may be, he is like a chick in front of his master."
"I told you long ago, such a powerful force wouldn't let its disciple be so arrogant. We had to seize the opportunity quickly! You didn't believe me! Now you see, he's been arrested! I think this Young Master Sun will be punished when he gets back!"
"The Azure Dragon Academy has always had a good reputation, and Young Master Sun's methods are rather strange..."
"What's so weird about it! All I want is resources!"
"Tsk, if you're unlucky, forget about getting resources, you'll just have to feed them to rare beasts!"
"Speaking of Young Master Sun's rare beast, it seems that his master couldn't stand it eating people, so he killed it on the spot..."
"Hey, don't even mention it! I once saw that ferocious bear by chance, and wow! You wouldn't believe it, its eyes were nothing but ferocity, completely different from the rare beasts we usually see. It was practically a bloodthirsty savage!"
"They're fed human flesh, and they've eaten countless amounts of it in the six months they've been in the Dark Arena. How could they not be bloodthirsty?"
"To be honest, I was both envious and a little scared about what Young Master Sun was up to. Now that it's over, it's good that I don't have to keep thinking about it and not dare to do it..."
"Too……"
Under the conscious control of the black market, it did not cause a major uproar.
While some independent cultivators were indeed unwilling to accept it, they quickly accepted the reality amidst public opinion.
Let's just consider it... a limited-time opportunity.
There's nothing we can do if we can't catch it.
To say they resent the Azure Dragon Academy for taking people away?
That's not true.
In the past, when they were training outside, whenever they encountered any great opportunities, as long as the disciples of famous sects were present, they were almost never involved. At that time, they were mostly just unwilling... Now that Canglong has taken away their own disciples, they really don't have much of a thought for it.
·
In a corner of the dark market, a weasel-faced young man squatted on the ground, listening to the spittle flying from the mouths of those around him.
His expression remained unchanged, but his heart was pounding.
Sun Zhangtian was probably captured because of the two Azure Dragon Gold Medal Disciples he was hosting...
The others in the hidden arena didn't notice, but he had been standing by the side the whole time and witnessed firsthand the two gold medal disciples' dissatisfaction with Sun Zhangtian.
Zhang Si kept his mouth shut.
He won't mention it at all.
·
Of course, because Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan were very high-profile when they came to issue the bounty, many people in the dark market knew their background.
The fact that the two of them went to the underground arena was also discovered by someone.
Some people might suspect that they went back to report the news because they felt that Sun Zhangtian's actions were inappropriate.
After all, they left the Dark Arena very quickly, and not long after leaving Silver Cauldron City, Sun Zhangtian's master came to arrest them.
However, there is no evidence for this.
Even if there is evidence, what can you do?
They're just fellow disciples who feel it's a disgrace to their school.
In the end, at most some of the fighters would secretly feel dissatisfied, but they would still be helpless and could only feel dissatisfied.
At the same time, many other contestants also discovered the extremely high bounty left behind by Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan!
An even bigger undertaking than Sun Zhangtian's.
And he's also very upright.
...Is this what a true disciple of a prestigious family is like?
·
On the other hand, Sun Zhangtian, who had been captured and taken back to his residence, also learned the reason from his beautiful concubine who came to visit him.
Now I know why Luo Zixiao was so angry.
Sun Zhangtian's face flushed red and then turned pale, like a palette of colors.
He roared inwardly: How could this be!
Sun Zhangtian never imagined that the Mirror Master, who was a loner in the original book, would not only become a disciple after turning into a love-obsessed person, but would also have his master intervene?!
That's incredible!
And that white lotus tea, how lucky is it? It actually managed to get Master Sang to come and question it personally!
As for the two of them distorting the truth when they filed their complaint... Sun Zhangtian only regretted that he had underestimated their malice and made a mistake.
·
With this two-pronged approach, Sun Zhangtian naturally understood the reason for Luo Zixiao's anger.
Even Sun Zhangtian would find it unbearable to encounter such a thing, and would deeply resent the disciple who brought it upon him.
Sun Zhangtian felt a chill in his heart.
He knew very well that he would probably have a hard time getting anything good out of Luo Zixiao after that.
However, Luo Zixiao still has great value.
For now, he can only endure it and hope that he can get some relief after a while.
Sun Zhangtian decided to behave himself for now.
At this moment, he had lost all interest in enjoying beautiful women. He waved his hand, dismissing the concubine who was gathering information for him.
The beautiful concubine bowed, quietly withdrew, and closed the door.
·
After leaving the house, Luo Qiuyun walked around several short corridors and turned several corners before entering a small courtyard.
A tall, beautiful young man stood under a tree in the courtyard. Noticing Luo Qiuyun's movement, he turned around, quickly walked over, grasped her soft hands, and asked anxiously, "How are you? Did the young master hurt you?"
Luo Qiuyun hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Yu Lang, I'm fine." She spoke softly, her eyes full of affection, "Young Master was probably a little flustered and didn't pay attention to me, only telling me to leave."
Yu Wenli breathed a sigh of relief and said with a slight relaxation, "Thank goodness, thank goodness."
The two exchanged a knowing smile, their expressions tender and affectionate.
Luo Qiuyun said in a low voice, "You should take good care of yourself these days. If the young master asks you to serve him later, you should be careful not to incur his wrath."
Yu Wenli nodded gently: "I will definitely keep an eye on it."
The two were very affectionate as they walked hand in hand into the house and sat on the edge of the bed.
The two discussed the matter carefully.
"Young Master has temporarily lost the Peak Master's favor, and it's likely that you and I won't gain anything by following him. Unless Young Master summons us now, we should both keep to ourselves and not show our faces."
“What Yu Lang says is true. I just hope that after some time, the Peak Master can calm down. Otherwise, if the young master’s future comes to an end, it will be even more difficult for you and me.”
"It's a pity that we've encountered such a young master; we're truly unlucky."
"How can you say it's not good? Although you are not a good person, I am still very satisfied to have met you, Yu Lang."
"Yes, yes, I misspoke. It is my great fortune to have met you, Qiu Yun!"
"Yu Lang, there's no need to worry. Although we're both facing difficulties now, we've both mastered that technique. Between us..."
"Dual cultivation is possible."
Luo Qiuyun nodded shyly: "Yes. Although it's slower than the cultivation method of the young master, it's still very good for both of us."
Yu Wenli was also very happy: "Yes, yes!"
Luo Qiuyun said softly, "Don't be afraid, Yu Lang. I was chosen to be given to you, so I have some status in the Luo family. If you really... for the sake of the Luo family, I can probably survive. At that time, you can come back with me and marry into my Luo family. That's a way out for you."
Yu Wenli smiled as she thought about marrying Luo Qiuyun in the future: "If that's the case, I'd rather the young master become useless."
Luo Qiuyun gave her lover a reproachful look, but felt very sweet inside.
·
A few days later, the concubine and the master, who had developed feelings for each other, dared not leave the room.
There was no other reason than that many things were happening again, and many people were coming and going, all going to this mansion to "chat" with Sun Zhangtian.
In the past, whenever Sun Zhangtian returned, there were always people visiting him.
However, the visits back then were always very cordial, but nowadays, they all seem to lack goodwill.
Luo Qiuyun and Yu Wenli carefully inquired about the information and learned the reason.
It turns out that in just a few days, a lot of canceled orders for pills have been sent to Xiaoyao Peak, and there is also clear news that the Mei Family Mountain Range has decided to sever ties with the Xiaoyao Peak lineage for five hundred years!
What exactly is the reason?
It is said that Sun Zhangtian humiliated Sang Danshi's only disciple outside, and when Sang Danshi came to ask for an apology, the peak master even protected Sun Zhangtian, which made Sang Danshi feel humiliated as well.
...The entire Xiaoyao Peak lineage was furious.
They dared not express their dissatisfaction with Peak Master Luo Zixiao, only complaining in their hearts, but they harbored deep resentment towards Sun Zhangtian.
If Sun Zhangtian hadn't been so careless with his words, would he have offended Master Sang?
Five hundred years!
For five hundred years, they have lacked an excellent path to alchemy; how much will that affect their cultivation!
·
Despite the large number of alchemists in the Azure Dragon Academy, including more than a dozen level seven alchemists.
But Master Sang is the most outstanding one. When faced with an unfamiliar level 7 pill formula, other level 7 alchemists may find it difficult to refine medium to high-grade pills and have to hone their skills for many days before they can advance further. However, Master Sang can often produce high-grade pills after only a short time of learning the formula, and occasionally even produces top-grade pills.
The higher the grade of the elixir, the more difficult it is to obtain.
The difference between top-grade pills and other pills is enormous!
Removing impurities from high-grade elixirs is extremely difficult!
The Mei family faction has also been diligently refining elixirs.
Perhaps because they developed by relying on alchemists, they are not deeply rooted in the Azure Dragon Academy at present. Therefore, they try their best to accept and complete most of the orders from outside. They are easier to talk to than other alchemist factions, and the quality of their pills is usually better—to build their reputation for high-quality products.
Alchemists from other factions have too many orders on hand, and they rarely accept orders from cultivators they are not familiar with. Even if they do accept orders, they don't know how many years they will have to wait in line!
The difficulty of obtaining the elixir has increased at least tenfold!
Moreover, if even Master Sang has severed ties with a faction, shouldn't other alchemist factions give him some face?
Within their Xiaoyao Peak faction, it's likely that only disciples who had prior connections with alchemists could still obtain suitable pills; other disciples would find it difficult to even make acquaintances with alchemists.
This is not simply a matter of cutting off the supply of elixirs to the Mei family faction.
Most alchemist factions would scrutinize the Xiaoyao Peak lineage!
Sun Zhangtian is truly despicable!
·
Luo Zixiao slammed his fist on a table and smashed it, filled with rage.
At the same time, he was filled with regret.
If he had known that Master Sang would do this, he shouldn't have protected Master Sun!
Luo Zixiao took a deep breath.
He was really stupid. He was already wondering why Master Sang would personally come to his door just because a junior was ruining the reputation of Canglong. Why didn't he think about it more?
Normally, even if Master Sang Dan was dissatisfied with Sun Zhangtian's behavior, he would at most send him a message, remind him to be careful, and that would be it.
Over the years, there have been many disciples of the Azure Dragon Sect, and some have gone astray. Although Sun Zhangtian's actions were excessive, they were not the most excessive. Why did Master Sang Dan come here specifically to have him discipline them?
He should have known then that it must also be related to Master Sangdan himself!
If he had noticed earlier that the disciple Sang Danshi had taken in was Zhong Cai, he would have made some connection between Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan, and he wouldn't have just said that he had brought Sun Zhangtian back; he would have left some room for interpretation in his words.
If he had been more polite, Master Sang would have naturally brought up Zhong Cai's matter, and he certainly wouldn't have been so protective of Sun Zhangtian—punishing Sun Zhangtian would have been enough to satisfy Master Sang.
Master Sangdan wouldn't do that... at least there's no reason for him to do it.
Luo Zixiao threw another punch, slamming it into the ground to vent his anger.
I should have known Jiang Chongguang would come soon too—
He had already had Sun Zhangtian arrested!
Maintenance my ass!
·
However, Luo Zixiao did not expect that things were far from over.
A few days later, at the beginning of the month, a senior sister who was in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation realm came to his door, wanting to "spar".
Luo Zixiao wanted to refuse, but her senior sister directly took action, raising her longsword and bombarding the defensive formation.
Many people came to watch the spectacle.
Luo Zixiao had no choice. If he continued to hide in the defensive formation, he would be like a coward, losing all face.
So he had no choice but to step forward and fight his senior sister with all his might.
Senior sister's combat strength is outstanding, her swordsmanship is extremely strong, and the secret techniques she has comprehended are also extraordinary. She even has a slight suppression effect on him...
Luo Zixiao naturally lost.
At the same time, he was pierced by his senior sister's sword thirty-six times, but none of the swords hit his vital points, so the damage to him was not significant.
However, it was very humiliating.
I could sense that my senior sister was going easy on me, and her disappointment... as if she was disappointed that I wasn't strong enough.
Luo Zixiao felt a lump in his throat and couldn't speak.
He went back to heal his wounds, and was repeatedly tormented by the events of the battle.
Luo Zixiao felt that this matter was a bit strange. After all, he hadn't had much interaction with his senior sister in the past. Why would his senior sister suddenly challenge him?
This is very similar to what Jiang Chongguang did back then.
Luo Zixiao wanted to investigate, but he was too ashamed to do so, and he tossed and turned all night.
Ten days later, another senior brother in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation realm came to visit.
I'll spar with him again, beat him until he's covered in dust, injure him, or make sure his injuries aren't serious.
Luo Zixiao was even more embarrassed.
In another ten days, there will be another senior sister...
Another ten days later, there's a senior brother...
It's simply become a pattern!
On the first day of each ten-day period, someone arrives promptly to take on the challenge!
·
What's even more ridiculous is that at one point, two people actually came to challenge them.
Luo Zixiao recognized them at a glance: one side was not affiliated with any fixed faction, while the other side belonged to Jiang Chongguang's faction and was Jiang Chongguang's junior sister.
However, this junior sister was persuaded to leave by someone else.
Because this junior sister's cultivation level is one level lower than Luo Zixiao's, she might be able to fight him, but she still can't beat Luo Zixiao up—Luo Zixiao is not weak at the mid-stage of the Spirit Transformation realm.
In the following few visits, powerful figures from other factions continued to come.
But there were one or two other times when they were from Jiang Chongguang's faction.
Among Jiang Chongguang's junior brothers and sisters, there were also those at the mid-stage of the Spirit Transformation realm or above. Although fighting Luo Zixiao was more difficult than fighting other late-stage Spirit Transformation cultivators, his combat power was higher than Luo Zixiao's, so he was still able to survive under Jiang Chongguang's tutelage and even managed to injure Luo Zixiao.
That time, the injuries were less severe, but the humiliation was far greater.
·
After accepting challenges many times, Luo Zixiao, though too embarrassed to inquire around, could still learn the reasons from some gossip in the peak and the identities of those challengers.
It turns out that Master Sang felt that cutting off the supply of pills was not enough. Perhaps he was inspired by the beating he received from Jiang Chongguang, and he did not hesitate to hire other late-stage and peak-stage experts to beat him by increasing his pill orders!
Jiang Chongguang seemed to have been inspired by Sang Danshi's practice of hiring substitutes to fight, and he invited his fellow disciples from the same faction to join!
Perhaps it was his fellow students who were inspired and took the initiative...
This is absolutely outrageous!
·
Luo Zixiao wanted to back down, but he was already at this level. His repeated defeats and continued fighting could be attributed to his strong will. If he really avoided fighting, how would he be able to recruit disciples in the future?
If members of a faction leave because they cannot share the hardship of being stuck with the pills, it is their fault—even if the root cause is Sun Zhangtian, the faction itself should still share the hardship.
But if he avoids battle, many disciples and mentors who already want to leave can find an excuse to shift the blame onto him, saying that it was already inappropriate for the disciples to make such a mistake, and that the peak master was so cowardly and dared not take responsibility. How could they stay? It would be a disgrace to associate with him!
Luo Zixiao had no choice.
We have no choice but to endure the beatings.
He could wait a while longer, until the resentment in the peak dissipated, and until more people in the academy felt that this action was excessive, before he could react.
By then, Sang Yunchu and Jiang Chongguang's factions should have vented their anger enough and should have stopped.
·
Even if the Azure Dragon Academy is vast, the events that have occurred on the Free and Unfettered Peak during this period should have spread far and wide.
None of the disciples expected to witness such a dramatic conflict between the Spirit Transformation Instructors.
The disciples, filled with curiosity, inquired among themselves and spread the news...
The truth, which was roughly the same, was soon learned by everyone.
At the same time, the names Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan became even more widely known.
Many of their stories have also become known to a wider audience.
Various discussions resounded almost daily in every corner of the college.
·
"Hey, don't you think Instructor Jiang and Danshi Sang went a bit too far with Instructor Luo?"
"This whole thing was caused by Instructor Luo's poor teaching. The two instructors can't possibly hold a grudge against a junior, can they? So naturally they're going to cause trouble for Instructor Luo! Instructor Luo himself is usually quite...unruly. If the two instructors hadn't come to his door, he probably wouldn't have taught that Sun Zhangtian much."
“You’re right! Instructor Luo really doesn’t have any scruples when accepting disciples, and his disciples are all very…free-spirited.”
"Haha! That's quite a subtle way to put it!"
"However, Instructor Jiang and Alchemist Sang were too ruthless. Instructor Jiang beat Instructor Luo so badly; he was really fierce. Alchemist Sang was even more ruthless, directly cutting off the supply of pills! The consequences were quite serious. I heard that many people in the Xiaoyao Peak lineage have lost their pill orders. It's not just the Mei family faction that has taken back their orders; some others have also had their orders withdrawn!"
"That's right! If they want more pills in the future, they'll have to scramble to buy them at the trading hall. Low-level pills are fine, but high-level ones are in much higher demand. The trading hall might only have a few available every ten days or half a month, and there are many people competing for them, so I'm afraid they have no chance."
"You don't understand. I think Master Sang Dan did the right thing!"
"What do you mean by that?"
"What Sun Zhangtian did, isn't it disgusting? It's absolutely disgusting! And yet the Xiaoyao Peak lineage doesn't take it seriously at all, and it's even spread! How prestigious were we when we went out before? Sun Zhangtian was still a top disciple! If even top disciples are like this, what do people outside think of us ordinary disciples?"
"That's unnecessary..."
"Think about it carefully. If Sun Zhangtian of Xiaoyao Peak does this, and we don't keep them in check, will their entire faction think it doesn't matter? Master Sang's move is to make an example of them! To clean up the atmosphere of the academy! To tell us disciples that we cannot act so recklessly."
“What you said makes some sense, but I still think it’s more about avenging my disciple…”
"Master Sang hired other senior instructors to challenge Instructor Luo; that's how you vent your anger. As for cutting off the pills, I think it's mainly for the sake of the academy. Think about it, if we don't rein in these reckless factions, and instead provide them with pills to boost their strength, what will their strongest members do outside? Now that they've lost their pills, their progress has slowed down, and it's time for them to calmly examine themselves. Master Sang is truly amazing!"
"Forget it, which of Master Guan Sang's purposes is more important? It doesn't affect us anyway."
"Speaking of which, I don't quite understand why Junior Brother Wu doesn't personally challenge Sun Zhangtian? Wouldn't it be better to personally beat Sun Zhangtian up on the fighting stage?"
"Junior Brother Wu is the number one person to be blessed! What's the meaning of him directly challenging Sun Zhangtian, who isn't even on the list? Wouldn't people who don't know the situation laugh him to death?"
"They'll find out eventually..."
"What's so hard to understand? We should only think about ourselves. Would we want to associate with someone like Sun Zhangtian?"
"...I really don't want to."
"Isn't that the end of it? Junior Brother Wu isn't willing either."
"The root of this whole thing is that Junior Brother Wu and Alchemist Zhong witnessed Sun Zhangtian doing something disgusting, and they were both very unhappy about it. Then Sun Zhangtian even humiliated them. In this situation, do you think Junior Brother Wu would be willing to personally beat him up? He wouldn't even bother to look at him!"
"It really is..."
"Therefore, Instructor Jiang and Master Sang Dan directly held Instructor Luo accountable, and as Instructor Luo's disciple, Sun Zhangtian should also be disciplined by Instructor Luo himself."
"By the way, how is Sun Zhangtian doing now?"
"It seems like he was just confined at home before, but later I heard some rumors that every time Instructor Luo was challenged, Sun Zhangtian would be locked in a formation by Instructor Luo. He must have suffered a lot."
"Hahaha……"
·
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan remained on Duobao Peak, except for one trip to Canglong City to retrieve the Silver Armored Soldier at the peak of the Palace Building realm who was outside. They never left their own peak.
Originally, Wu Shaogan said he would send out a silver-armored soldier at the peak of the Fusion Realm, but there was no need for that at all.
Meanwhile, news from outside the peak continued to reach us.
In addition to the two masters sending a memorial stone every now and then, Shao Qing and Qiao Ming would also visit.
After they each became disciples, Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan had virtually no contact with them anymore.
Everyone needs to focus on their cultivation; there's not much time for chatting.
This time, things must have gotten really big, because it reached the ears of these two friends, and they came knocking on their door one after another.
We had arranged to come together.
Shao Qing and Qiao Ming were roughly equal in status and strength within their respective factions, so they interacted quite frequently.
They often sparred with each other, finding each other evenly matched, and their skills improved considerably. Their friendship also deepened considerably.
Although they don't necessarily go out together all the time, they are very likely to travel together whenever something happens.
·
The puppets brought fragrant tea and fruit, filling the table and treating the guests to a good meal.
Zhong Cai sipped her tea, while also observing Shao Qing and Qiao Ming.
Shao Qing and Qiao Ming already knew what kind of person Zhong Cai was, so they didn't care about being stared at. Instead, they would occasionally glance at Wu Shaogan, as if teasing him to see if he would feel jealous.
Wu Shaogan and Zhong Cai sat together, their expressions intimate, clearly not caring about anything.
Shao Qing took a sip of tea, shook his head and smiled, "The outside world is in complete chaos, but you two seem to be enjoying a peaceful life."
Zhong Cai raised an eyebrow: "They are jealous that Lao Wu and I have a master who protects us."
Shao Qing's lips twitched slightly.
Speaking of a master's care, almost all of them who have become disciples are cared for by their masters. However, no master would take such care at the expense of a Spirit Transformation Realm expert, nor would they take turns slapping each other in the face like this.
Qiao Ming was quite familiar with the two of them, and asked curiously, "Everyone outside is saying that Instructor Jiang and Alchemist Sang are so angry because Master Sun humiliated you two, but..."
He didn't finish his sentence because he didn't know how to continue.
The rumors circulating outside are all insults, but nothing specific, and nobody knows what kind of insult could have enraged them so much.
There are really a lot of curious people.
·
Privately, Shao Qing and Qiao Ming had actually studied how Sun Zhangtian could humiliate them.
With Sun Zhangtian's strength, there's no way he could do anything to them, right?
Wu Shaogan remained silent.
Zhong Cai snorted, "Of course he can only humiliate with words."
