Chapter 288 - Senior John Does Disciple (1/2)
Chapter 288 Senior John Doe's Disciple
Today's consultation meeting was very different from the past.
Although in the last two months, every time people would be waiting for the mysterious man. But this time, there were more people waiting. The sound of discussing was loud.
The whole manor was filled with different people.
Elder Yi had expected that this would happen, so he prepared dozens of chairs in advance and even put some tables and wooden chairs on the aisles to the garden. But it was not enough, so many people stood around in huddles.
Elder Yi could do nothing about it.
After all, the manor was already filled to capacity.
”It's 7:30 pm. Why doesn’t he come?”
”Yeah, when does this thing start?”
”It's usually 7:00 until 10:00 at night, but lately it's been uncertain when to start because we have to wait for the mysterious man.”
”What a big shot! Should we all wait for him?”
”Maybe he’s not coming.”
”Maybe John Doe knew that things were getting out of hand and that martial arts practitioners were coming from all over the country, so he was frightened and decided to stay at home.”
”Ha-ha...”
When they were waiting, many outsiders started to roast John Doe.
Of course, they were just whispering and didn’t dare to be blatant.
Another ten minutes had passed.
”Who is the owner here?”
Suddenly, an impatient voice was heard.
The crowd followed the voice and found it was a young man wearing a white robe.
He rose from a round table with a sullen look on his face and shouted, ”Are you going to mess with so many practitioners here?”
When that came out, Elder Yi, sitting beside the ring, stood up quickly.
”Sir,” Looking at the young man, Elder Yi narrowed his eyes slightly. When he saw that the young man was actually a grade-two Martial Superior, he immediately said politely, ”What can I do for you?”
”Hmm.” Seeing that the owner of the manor was a grade-two Martial Superior, the young man snorted coldly and said, ”Did you promise that the mysterious man will show up at this meeting?”
”Yes, I did.” Elder Yi nodded.
”Where is he?” The young man sneered at him. ”Maybe it was the people in Jiangjing who made up this mysterious man. When John Doe sees so many warriors coming from all over the country, he is afraid to come out.”
Hearing that, Elder Yi's face darkened.
It was clear that he was picking on him. The misunderstanding would be greater if he let it go. But if he argued with him, he couldn’t prove the existence of John Doe, unless he was here himself.
What a dilemma!
”How dare you, a nobody, speak like that?” Suddenly a disdainful laugh came from the crowd.
When he heard that, the young man's face changed and he became furious.
He was a grade-two Martial Superior. There were not more than ten people who were more powerful than him.
How dare anyone scold him?
Swoosh.
All the people present turned their heads and looked for the direction of the voice.
The man who spoke just now was He Gaoming.
The locals in Jiangjing city were surprised.
”He Gaoming?”
”It's him?”
”Why is he standing up?”
”He is one of those who got the guidance from John Doe and broke through to the Martial Superior level.”
”He could not have broken through or improved so quickly if it had not been for John Doe, so he should stand up for John Doe.”
Compared with the native people of Jiangjing, other people acted differently. Some people were confused and some of them smiled waiting to see the drama. The powerful warriors sneered when they looked at He Gaoming.
They could clearly see that He Gaoming was a grade-one Martial Superior, but that young man was grade-two.
”You're bold.”
The young man glared sullenly at him.
”You should be the one to answer that question.”
He Gaoming sneered and said, ”You think I can just let you slander my master?”
Master?
People froze when they heard that.
”Is he John Doe’s disciple?”
”I didn't know he had a disciple.”
”It’s strange that the disciple had come, but his master didn’t.”
Outsiders couldn’t help asking.
The locals, however, were dumbfounded.
”When did you learn from him?”
”Since when did John Doe take you as his disciple?”
”Ha-ha, we appreciate that you want to stand up for John Doe, but you can’t just impersonate his disciple.”
”You've got to be kidding me. When did John Doe become your master?”
People were asking questions constantly.
Even Elder Yi was looking at He Gaoming with a surprised face.
”He had taught me before, so I’m his disciple.”
He Gaoming glanced around. ”Once a teacher, always a teacher. Even though my master only taught me for a few minutes, it was those few minutes that made me his disciple!”
