367 Meeting Wang Xiaofei Again (1/2)

With a creak, the big phoenix tree collapsed. The gigantic tree crown hit the ground and completely blocked off the entrance of the village. The few brawny guys were shocked. They quickly dodged so that they would not be hit by the branches of the big phoenix tree.

”You destroyed an ancient tree in our village with a blow. Do you even have respect for us, the Bi Clan Manor House?” A youth stared at Mo Wen angrily. His expression was unkind. When he was young, he used to play under this ancient tree. He had sentiments for this big phoenix tree at the entrance of the village. Now, this tree was struck by an unexpected calamity. A perfectly good tree had been ruined.

The other few members from the Bi Clan Manor House were staring at Mo Wen angrily, too. They merely asked the youth to demonstrate his Cultivation. There were many methods he could have used to do so. Mo Wen could have simply released his pressure, and they could tell his Cultivation level from that. He had absolutely no need to destroy the big tree at the entrance of their village.

His act was clearly ill-intentioned. There was actually someone who dared to make a scene at their Bi Clan Village. He was bold and arrogant.

Not only were the members of the Bi Clan Manor House shocked, Wang Yuan was shocked, too. His face turned pale. Was Mo Wen here to attend the Martial Arts Symposium, or was he here to trash the territory? Even he knew that Mo Wen's action would cause resentment among the people of the Bi Clan Manor House. How could Mo Wen not know?

The middle-aged man kept silent, but his facial expression turned serious. He narrowed his eyes. The gaze he directed at Mo Wen was sharp and serious.

Just now, when Mo Wen made a move, he didn't realize what was going to happen. By the time he realized it, the phoenix tree had been snapped in two. It wasn't because the middle-aged man was incapable of responding, but rather he didn't expect Mo Wen to be daring enough to do such a thing. He was caught off guard, so the youth managed to cleave the tree with a blow.

Even so, it was enough to prove that this youth was not simple. He released his Inner Qi. He would at least have the Sea of Qi realm Cultivation. His Cultivation was most likely not as simple as the beginning stage or intermediate stage of the Sea of Qi realm.

He was merely a youth, and he already had such Cultivation. He was comparable to those top geniuses in the Five Aristocratic Families. He would most likely become a top master in the ancient martial arts world in the future.

With a glance, Elder Bi You understood that this youth was most likely not simple. He might have some background.

”Little brother, you have extraordinary Cultivation. But it is somewhat uncivilized to destroy other people's property, don't you think?” Elder Bi You said coldly. This youth had cleaved the ancient tree at the entrance of the Bi Clan Village without warning. If he didn't demand an explanation from Mo Wen, then the Bi Clan would become a laughing stock.

”I'm sorry. My Cultivation is still shallow. I can't control my Inner Qi smoothly, so I couldn't control my strength and accidentally destroyed your ancient tree. If I have caused any property damage, I am willing to compensate the full price.” Mo Wen smiled, saluting Elder Bi You with his fists. Whatever he said was naturally bullsh*t. He intentionally cleaved the ancient tree. His aim was to overwhelm the people in the Bi Clan Village. It would save him the trouble of being restricted by all sorts of rules—because he didn't have any factions or background—when he attended the Martial Arts Symposium.

Only when the people of the Bi Clan Manor House thought highly of him, treating him as someone who could not be crossed easily, could he then have a smooth-sailing journey in the Martial Arts Symposium. For this reason, he didn't mind showing off a little of his Cultivation. He cleaved the ancient tree to provoke the people of the Bi Clan Village so they would fight with him.

”As a youth, being a little ambitious is good. However, the stiffest tree is the most easily cracked. Being ostentatious is not a good thing. Since I asked you to demonstrate your Cultivation, now that you have destroyed an ancient tree, I am responsible for it, too. You don't have to compensate. But remember, there is no next time. If there are cases where you damage the property of Bi Clan Manor House again, I will make sure you are responsible for that,” Elder Bi You said calmly, taking a deep glance at Mo Wen.

Mo Wen had destroyed the ancient tree with a casual strike. In his opinion, youths had the desire to show off. Mo Wen purposely did that to show off to them. After all, the young lads naturally were a little ostentatious. They loved to do things that would attract people's attention everywhere they went.

However, this kind of youth was too impulsive and immature. They easily died young because of their unusual way of doing things. After all, the ancient martial arts world was so big, and there were talented people everywhere. It was not easy to be thriving all the time.

As an elder of the Bi Clan Manor House, Bi You wouldn't want to lower his stature by finding fault with this youth because of such a matter. After all, it was just an ancient tree. It didn't really affect the Bi Clan Village. Not punishing this youth could demonstrate the generosity of the Bi Clan as a huge clan and aristocratic family.

Furthermore, this youth had achieved the Sea of Qi realm Cultivation at such a young age. On top of his talents, he would definitely have a large ancient martial arts faction behind him. Starting a fight because of such a small matter was not a large clan's way of doing things.

Of course, even though he didn't plan to punish Mo Wen, he needed to warn him. He demonstrated the Bi Clan's generosity, yet at the same time he wouldn't let others think that the Bi Clan Manor House was a pushover.

”Since you said so, I thank the Bi Clan's elder for being so considerate.” A glint of surprise flashed in Mo Wen's eyes because the Bi Clan's elder had actually settled this incident in such a way. He had belittled the Bi Clan. His plan of provoking this group of people had failed. It was not without reason that the Bi Clan could become a huge clan with hundreds of years of heritage.

Elder Bi You didn't know that the youth before him was not afraid of their Bi Clan at all. Mo Wen was waiting for them to fight him, then he could overpower them. His method of settling the case had actually saved the Bi Clan's face.
