As soon as he uttered these words, he was shocked.

Sangsang had asked him if he thought everyone but himself was an idiot. He said there were indeed many idiots doing stupid things in the world. He used to refer to people as idiots behind their backs in front of Sangsang. Those idiots even included the Tang Princess. When he eavesdropped on the Emperor calling others idiots in the imperial study, he got a similar feeling from the Emperor. He and Chen Pipi had formed a bad habit of insulting each other as idiots via letters.

Only that... when he started cultivation, went into the Back Mountain and walked the road of becoming a bigwig, he seldom experienced such delight. So this time he felt a familiar longing and missed the word 'idiot' for he had not said it for a long time.

He smiled and looked at South Jin Kingdom Sword Master and continued in a soft and gentle voice. ”Such an idiot. My master Yan Se is Great Divine Priest of West-Hill Divine Palace, with three levels: Gods of Revelation, Light and Judge. As his only successor, I saw someone corrupt Divine Hall's reputation. If I didn't meddle, wouldn't I let down my master's teaching and shame Haotian?”

At this time, one would probably turn back to ask the Revelation Department Priest: Your Excellency, do you think I should meddle or not? However, Ning Que did not ask, for he knew that his arrogance or his profiting at others' expense was proper, but the excess arrogance and profiting too much would only bring him more trouble. At this time, obviously, the Revelation Department Priest did so in the name of equality. He had hunted in Min Mountain for many years and was very clear on what to do when he encountered a similar situation. So he no longer objected it.

The questioning full of courage and perseverance from the South Jin Kingdom Sword Master was blocked back by Ning Que's casual words. In the tent, no other person questioned his qualification of caring about the Divine Hall's affairs. Although the whole world knew that only based on political considerations, West-Hill Divine Palace granted the two Great Divine Priests of South School of Haotian Taoism. However, if they questioned this at this time, weren't they not going against West-Hill Divine Palace in its presence?

Aunt Quni Madi's face was so dark that her body slightly quivered when she stared at Ning Que's eyes. Suddenly she laughed hoarsely and croaked. She said loudly, ”A woman doesn't serve others but her husband. But a disciple has two masters. I won't ask Yan Se. But when I meet the Headmaster of Academy in the future, I'd like to ask him what he was thinking. Will he ruin his one-hundred-year reputation for a despicable and disgraceful disciple?”

Although there was no explicit statement, the implied meanings of the words were directed at the two masters. Although Ning Que had not seen the Headmaster of Academy, he had lived in the Back Mountain for a long time and did not allow anyone to be so presumptuous.

And he knew that today he could not control this shameless old woman. So he felt displeased for having no other way. However, he did not expect that she would show her weakness at this time. So he decided to take advantage of this chance to punish her.

Ning Que's smile slowly faded away and he calmly said, ”Previously you asked who my master was and wanted to teach me on behalf of my master. Now you know who my teacher is. But it seems that you also want to teach him.”

He slapped his palm on a table next to him, making the table fall down and the tea cups flew around splashing tea all over!

Ning Que pointed at Quni Madi's nose, changing his facial expression like turning over a book, and furiously said, ”According to the rules of seniority, you as an old lady should call me uncle! How dare you try to teach me? Don't you know how to respect an elder? Do you want to ask the Headmaster? Do you think you can see the Headmaster at will? Do you want to teach him? Do you even want to bully your ancestor?”

Previously the commander of cavalrymen of Divine Hall blankly stared at Ning Que and thought this was the greatest humiliation he had ever had in his life.

At this moment, Quni Madi stretched out her trembling fingers and pointed at Ning Que, thinking that never before in her life had she been humiliated like this. However, due to the silence in the courtroom at this time, the old lady quickly understood that there was no way for her to get revenge today. Because Ning Que could simply not be reasoned with.

Ning Que was unreasonable.

He only talked about seniority.

...

...

As the sister of Yuelun Kingdom Emperor, she had the incomparable strength and extremely high status among the people of the Buddhism Sect. In the past decades, when she met people who were less powerful in strength, she bullied them with her strength. In case she met powerful people, she bullied them with her seniority. Besides, everyone respected her, so she had fared on smoothly all the way and gradually developed this kind of temperament. It could be regarded as hating evil in a good version or being arrogant and narrow-minded in a bad version.

She did not expect that someone would actually use this tactic to deal with her, and the only thing that she could do was listen to his words honestly, because there was nothing wrong with the other party according to her normal habit of speech and action.

The seniority of the Headmaster of Academy was indeed very high. Even if she was an elder woman with the highest seniority in Buddhism Sect, they had a gap of two generations. This meant that she should respectfully call Ning Que uncle if it was strictly required.

She humiliated her uncle and questioned her ancestors... This was equal to deceiving her teacher and bullying her ancestor.

Quni Madi was so exasperated that she felt dizzy in her mind. She actually seemed to vaguely see those fellows who dared not to look up under her fierce censures and pressure of seniority all these years. She wondered if she had to suffer the same humiliation today.

She stared at Ning Que and her skinny old hands hanging outside her sleeves started trembling violently. There was a strong wave of Qi of Heaven and Earth surging in the tent.

Ning Que looked up and watched her from a higher position. He calmly put his hands behind his back, there were no traces of aura fluctuations around his body.

He did not need to say anything, for he had clearly expressed his meaning.

”Come and hit me. Come and hit me. Do you dare to kill me? If only you old woman really got mad and dared to hit me in front of so many people. I don't need the supermundane killers like Eldest Brother and Second Brother. All I need is to send Mr. Twelve Chen Pipi to kill you with only a glance.”

This respected aunt had not entered Knowing Destiny State.

Ning Que looked at her and shook his head. He sighed and said, ”As a mighty person of Buddhism Sect, you actually don't know how cheap your life is. No wonder you an elderly woman has such low morals and till now you still haven't entered Knowing Destiny State.”

Although Quni Madi had a royal identity, she had perseverance and fortitude on cultivation, distinguished status, noble seniority and powerful strength. The most painful and regrettable thing in her life was that she could not step over that high threshold.

After continuous stimulation, she almost let her anger get the best of her. But she knew she could not attack Ning Que here. So she had been suppressing herself. But she never expected to hear such a sentence in the end!

Aunt Quni Madi forced herself to swallow the fresh blood that was about to pour out of her dry lips and used her last soberness to have a blackout. Whether this was true or not, she just fell down backward.

Everyone exclaimed in the tent.
