Chapter 62: Please Allow Me This, Young Master (2/2)

As for the other elders who had not said anything, they all revealed complicated expressions. They still did not have a clear idea on what had happened, so they did not make any decisions.

Zi Changhe couldn't help but say, ”Fellow elders, I think we should let Elder Zhen Peng make the decision here. If Xiang Shaoyun has indeed committed any wrongdoing, he should be punished. But if this is merely a misunderstanding, I beg Elder Zhen Peng and palace master to spare him out of respect for my master.”

”Zi Changhe, don't forget that disturbing Elder Zhen Peng's breakthrough is a crime punishable by death. Even your master won't protect him in this situation. Elder Zhen Peng's breakthrough into the King Realm is no trifling matter!”

”You are clearly abusing your official position to avenge your private grudge! I believe Elder Zhen Peng has his own thoughts on this. The final say is not up to you!” Zi Changhe stood his ground.

Li Xuemeng was about to argue back when Yang Gaochuan bellowed, ”Enough. Stop bickering. Just listen to Elder Zhen Peng's arrangement.”

With that, everyone sank into silence.

At this time, Xiang Shaoyun said meekly, ”S-senior, d-don't keep staring at me like this. I-I'm shy.” After saying those words, his neck shrunk further. His current look gave one the urge to rush forth and give him a good beating.

”Sigh. I, Zhen Peng, have spent my life in cultivation yet my clarity of mind is not even comparable to a youth,” Elder Zhen Peng sighed and proceeded to do something that shocked everyone there.

He gave Xiang Shaoyun a deep bow. ”Young master, please allow me to stay by your side and guard you from now onward.”

Bang!

Those words slammed into everyone's minds, sending them into a daze. A King Realm cultivator was an existence high above many others. He was the strongest in the Martial Hall Palace, also the most powerful in Wu Town.

But this King was currently swearing his allegiance to a tiny Astral Realm young man? It turned their world upside down. They wondered if everything was merely an illusion. Even Xiang Shaoyun was stunned.

”Please allow me this, young master!” Elder Zhen Peng begged when he received no reply.

At this time, Yang Gaochuan licked his lips and said, ”E-Elder Zhen Peng, d-do y-you want to think this through? This kid is only at the Astral Realm. Even if he has a five-star physique, he is not worthy enough for this! If you really think so highly of him, you can just give him some guidance in his cultivation.”

”That's right, Elder Zhen Peng. I think you should first focus on consolidating your cultivation,” Qing Xiuhe chimed in.

Li Xuemeng also couldn't resist speaking up, ”Elder Zhen Peng, h-have you been tricked by this brat? I'll kill him for you!”

”b.a.s.t.a.r.d!” Elder Zhen Peng turned his head and cursed Li Xuemeng. His single word rumbled out like an all powerful thunderclap, and an aura of kings flowed out, instantly sending Li Xuemeng flying and coughing out blood. The sight of this shocked the elders.

Elder Zhen Peng scanned the crowd then said with an unprecedented seriousness, ”I, Zhen Peng, am not yet senile. I know what I'm doing. From today onward, he is my young master. I will stand guard by his side as he grows. Laying even a finger on him will be tantamount to attacking me!”

Elder Zhen Peng spoke with such resolution that it did not seem he would change his mind. Yang Gaochuan, Qing Xiuhe, and the others once again revealed complicated expressions on their faces.

When Li Xuemeng heard those words, he was so enraged he spat out another mouthful of blood. After all, he had already included Xiang Shaoyun in a list of people he must kill. But now, Elder Zhen Peng had taken on the role of Xiang Shaoyun's guardian. No, to be precise, Elder Zhen Peng had become Xiang Shaoyun's follower! Would he still have a chance to do anything to Xiang Shaoyun? What if Xiang Shaoyun turned around to make a move against them instead? Not a single one of them could resist a King Realm's wrath!

At this thought, Li Xuemeng's entire body grew cold.
