Wang Chong mentally smiled. As expected, his 'senior brother' was not that easy to persuade. The identity of Young Master Qingyang might have been capable of fooling others, but it was not enough to fool Ji Andu.
But Wang Chong was not nervous.
”Heh, it seems like Protector Ji has deep prejudices against me. Did I not already explain when Alliance Lord Song was present? We were ambushed by bandits and separated. If Protector Ji is interested in my guard, you won't need to wait long to meet him. But this one helped the Righteous Alliance, yet Protector Ji is still so suspicious of me. Is this truly your only concern?”
Wang Chong faintly chuckled.
Bzzz! Ji Andu grimaced, and a cold and sinister energy erupted from his body, immediately making him much more dangerous.
”Hmph, quite bold! Now that Junior Sister isn't here, you're not afraid that I will kill you?”
Ji Andu's complexion turned colder and colder, and his index and middle fingers slightly curled as if preparing to strike. But Wang Chong remained unmoved.
”Haha, five elders of the Righteous Alliance are down below, the alliance lord is on the summit, and there are several hundred Righteous Alliance disciples on the entire mountain. If Protector Ji wants to attack, then please do so!” Wang Chong said, his face relaxed and confident. It was obvious that he had little regard for Ji Andu's threats.
”You!”
Ji Andu's expression dimmed as rage blazed in his heart. This bastard clearly felt safe and secure.
Wang Chong calmly smiled back. The five elders Song Yuanyi had arranged at the base of the mountain prevented him from silently leaving, but they also served as a check against Ji Andu.
If he still managed to get inexplicably injured while surrounded by such defenses, they would become a laughing stock. Thus, Wang Chong also had an invisible layer of protection.
Ji Andu silently stared at Wang Chong's back, the expression in his eyes constantly shifting. Wang Chong's words truly did make him extremely apprehensive, but a moment later, he seemed to think of something and loudly laughed.
”Hahaha, so what if you're the real Young Master Qingyang? Do you think I have no way of dealing with you?”
An extremely dangerous light flickered through Ji Andu's eyes. With a flick of his fingers, a sharp bolt of energy shot toward Wang Chong's right shoulder. He was actually choosing to attack Wang Chong without any regard for the consequences.
But a moment later, whoosh! Wang Chong's body vanished in a flicker of light as if he had long ago predicted Ji Andu's strike, dodging the attack by a hair.
”Hmph! Still want to pretend?”
Ji Andu's entire body seethed with killing intent.
”Protector Ji, have you forgotten who I am?!”
Wang Chong stood seven or eight paces away from Ji Andu as he spoke to him.
Ji Andu immediately felt choked up. Young Master Qingyang was well-learned in all martial arts of the world. He had been able to command the Righteous Alliance disciples against the Black Yin Ancestor, so he was naturally capable of dodging his attack.
”Protector Ji, I assisted your group out of the kindness of my heart, and my remaining here was even on request of your alliance lord. If Protector is so dissatisfied with me, it seems that I should simply bid my farewells to Alliance Lord Song now!”
Wang Chong's smiled as he intentionally raised the volume of his voice.
”You're threatening me!”
Ji Andu's face chilled. As he prepared to strike again, a sharp cry came out of the darkness.
”Protector Ji, what are you doing?! Young Master Qingyang is an honored guest of our Righteous Alliance. He must be treated with all due respect!”
The elderly voice resounded through the air, and a few moments later, heavy footsteps could be heard approaching Wang Chong's location. Ji Andu turned and saw that an elder of the Righteous Alliance was striding over.
Ji Andu instantly paled, his heart tightening.
Besides the five elders at the base of the mountain, there were also several other elders patrolling the base. Ji Andu was so focused on Wang Chong that he had not been paying much attention to any other footsteps. However, he had not expected that Wang Chong had long ago made calculations and raised his voice at the right moment so that the elder would hear 'bid my farewells to Alliance Lord Song now' and be drawn over.
”Hmph, I'll let you off for now!”
Ji Andu saw that he would no longer be able to keep probing Wang Chong's strength and withdrew his fingers.
”Elder has misunderstood. Young Master Qingyang is a benefactor of our Righteous Alliance, and I only wanted to come and pay him a visit. Young Master, let us talk some more next time!”
After saying this, Ji Andu immediately turned around and made his way back up the mountain.
The Righteous Alliance elder walked over and worriedly asked, ”Young Master Qingyang, are you okay?”
”Heh, I'm fine. Protector Ji seems to have some misunderstanding of me, but there's no problem now,” Wang Chong indifferently said.
Nearby, Ji Andu, who had walked some fifty paces away, immediately twitched.
”Oh?”
The Righteous Alliance elder frowned, a confused look on his face.
But if Wang Chong wasn't willing to elaborate, there was nothing he could do. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he turned around and resumed his patrols.
