Hua Xiangyun and her classmates had only been at school for a short time and were picking up their books when they heard someone outside come and tell them that someone was looking for them.
Without a second thought, Hua Xiangyun knew it was the Tianzhen Sect.
I slowly placed the books on the classroom desk before heading to the school gate.
These were the same familiar faces again. Hua Xiangyun laughed, "You're really persistent. Tell me, what's going on with you guys?"
“We are your elders,” Song Shi said, looking at Hua Xiangyun with displeasure. “Didn’t your master tell you how to respect your elders?”
Hua Xiangyun chuckled and shook her head, "I did tell you, but you don't seem to be considered elders."
Don't give me this nonsense. Everyone knows the situation on both sides perfectly well.
To put it bluntly, which you might not like to hear, this is nothing more than someone who couldn't make it on the outside and is now trying to freeload.
They started pressing the issue relentlessly, and Hua Xiangyun showed them no mercy, as if she had never shown them any mercy before...
"That's outrageous!" Tian Yu's face flushed red, feeling embarrassed that someone had seen through his secret.
Comrade, you think we have ulterior motives, that we've been pestering you and that we're after your house.
Hua Xiangyun: "You also think we're fine, so why are you being questioned about our relationship?"
After all, we were planning to force our way through the exit yesterday; if we had ulterior motives…
He was pampered growing up, and when he went abroad, his family brought so much wealth with them. He also had his fellow students supporting him. He had never been treated like this before.
"You sharp-tongued brat, you owe him the worst mouth, you should watch your mouth." Song Shi clenched his fist, feeling regretful. He should have beaten her up the moment they met.
That made Xiaojia even more wary; those people looked menacing, as if they were there to claim kinship.
I also hinted to my fellow disciples that we should wait and see how things develop.
"Reception?" Hua Xiangyun laughed even more softly. "Are they sure they're here to make a fool of themselves? You've even heard your master mention who they are, and just because they're talking about it, you think you can take them home and treat them like royalty?"
Lai Yonglin raised an eyebrow at Ma Jinhui, "You noticed that none of those people are hard of hearing. I already said you know them. Who would bring a group of familiar women home for no reason?"
"You scoundrel! You've directly accused us of fraud and deception. Even Tian Yu, who had been holding his head high the whole time, stopped in his tracks. 'Hmph, those seven, master and disciples, are taking advantage of your Heavenly Array Sect's resources. At worst, we'll be polite to you, otherwise…'"
Since both sides knew each other, Lai Yonglin could say whatever he wanted. Those people were just making things difficult for him, so why should he hold back?
Was what that male classmate said really true? Was he really up to no good?
"You are his elders. Just because you are from the same school as his master, and he is your personal disciple and only disciple, are you supposed to treat you badly?" Song Shi was really annoyed. This morning, a few people had already ordered two bowls of porridge. If they kept going up, how could they possibly keep up?
"Oh, so you're not here to freeload? If you just want to pay your respects to my master, then you've come to the wrong place. I don't know when my master will return. Why don't you wait for her at her doorstep?"
Those around were stunned. They wondered if the person was crazy to talk about master and disciple and sects.
Hua Xiangyun looked at those people with a wicked smile, thinking they really knew everything, even resorting to threats and intimidation.
As for hospitality, that's even more embarrassing. You're just a student, how can you afford such a high cost for them?
Hua Xiangyun was tired of hearing the same few sentences over and over again, so she simply pointed us in the right direction.
They're all classmates from the same school, and they both got into that university. Even if there are no problems with the political background check, it could still cause their classmates to suffer.
They claim to be elders, but can they at least provide proof?
Right now, I'm just thinking that making a big fuss won't do us any harm. It's fine if Wu Chenxi, who has been hiding all along, shows up eventually.
"Don't pretend to be clear-headed, everyone," Song Shi said, no longer caring about maintaining his image, pointing at Hua Xiangyun. "When his master comes back, if he finds out how he treated his elders, he will definitely expel him from the sect."
They're all dishonest and shady. They should find some work to do, at least something menial, to support their families, instead of swindling and cheating everywhere."
"Be careful with them. After all, do you have the habit of picking up a familiar person and taking them home to serve? They're definitely not having an easy time. There's no police station at the intersection behind here. They might need me."
When Hua Xiangyun saw that scene, anger flashed in her eyes. "They all know what they are talking about. They must have lost something. They should have gone straight to the police. Instead, they were just chatting with you outside."
“You’ve come all this way, and that stranger is familiar with the place. At least he’ll settle you in first. As for me, we’ll talk about it when his master returns.” Ma Jinhui, who was in front of Song Shi, stepped forward to act as a peacemaker. Since a hard approach was not feasible, they could only try to appease him.
However, Tian Yu presented evidence that he had no kinship with Hua Xiangyun.
Yes, it's ridiculous to immediately claim someone as an elder upon entering the house, when they've already met them before...
No handwritten letter from your master? Or no household registration certificate?
The security guards nearby had already lowered their guard; after all, this was outside the school, and if anything happened, we would be held responsible.
If the master truly cared about those people, how could he possibly interfere or even avoid them?
Tian Yu looked at you with a gloomy expression. "He definitely wants to downplay this. Do you have any objections?"
Your ancestors have absolutely no connection with us. If you really want to claim kinship, it would take us even longer to go back and check the family tree.
Couldn't one of your classmates go to the back and report this to the police for you? Do you think those people have questionable backgrounds? Maybe they're a human trafficking or fraud ring?
“Those of them are all from the same hometown, which means they moved away very recently. If they go back to their ancestral home to search, they might mistakenly claim kinship with strangers,” the staff member could only advise.
The students passing by, who were not yet guards, all kept a close eye on those people. They wondered if those women, who were short and small, really had no good intentions towards the male students.
The more everyone listened, the more interesting it became, and two students immediately volunteered to run towards the intersection behind them.
These days, swindlers and con artists are getting more and more sophisticated; they're finding ways to cheat people out of their homes.
The group arrived at the front of the line and checked both parties' ID cards to make sure there were no issues.
Hua Xiangyun and the others pointed out a clear path: anyway, their master's return date was uncertain—it could be a month, a few months, or even longer; who knows…
Lai Yong felt that his personality had been slightly violated, and he showed a fierce look to Hua Xiangyun.
The guards also came out at that time and stood in the seven positions. It's not like those people can just leave whenever they want.
He thought that since your elders were around, they couldn't just arbitrarily accuse you, and if they wanted to cheat you, they would at least find a bad excuse.
