Chapter 1196 - Public Refusal (2/2)

At this moment, not to mention those disciples being stunned and frightened by Chu Feng’s response, even the expressions of the Punishment Department’s elders changed as traces of anger emerged from their eyes.

Refusing their invitation to join the Punishment Department could be said to be a sort of humiliation to them, something that they simply could not tolerate. That was because there had never been anyone in the entire history of their Punishment Department that had ever refused them.

“Chu Feng, as the saying goes, everyone has their own ambitions. Since you do not wish to join our Punishment Department, I originally did not plan to urge you against your choice.”

“However, joining our Punishment Department would not only strengthen your wisdom, it would also help you increase your cultivation.”

“While the benefits to your cultivation can be disregarded for now, the benefit to your wisdom would be extremely important. You are currently very immature, and are likely to act on impulse. If you are not to properly temper yourself, I fear that it might influence your future prospects. Even going down the path of evil and madness is not impossible.”

“Thus, for your own good, I hope that you will reconsider,” said Hei Hong.

“Chu Feng understands elder’s intentions very well. As for Chu Feng’s answer, it was not merely child’s play either. Instead, it was a conclusion I’ve come to after careful deliberation,” Chu Feng refused once again. His att.i.tude was extremely clear-cut.

At this moment, an elder was unable to watch anymore and actually spoke out against Chu Feng. “Chu Feng, don’t continue to act incapable of differentiating good from bad. Since the establishment of our Punishment Department, there has never been a single person who has refused our Punishment Department’s invitation.” The threat within his voice was extremely evident.

Hei Hong did not stop that elder’s reprimand of Chu Feng. It was as if all of this had been planned in advance. Thus, Hei Hong remained very calm.

Using a poker face, Hei Hong was inspecting Chu Feng’s face to see what sort of reaction he would have now.

However, to his surprise, Chu Feng’s reaction was completely different from what he antic.i.p.ated.

Faced with the threat from that elder, Chu Feng not only did not become afraid, he instead smiled lightly.

Furthermore, not only did he smile, he actually talked back to that elder.

“Never happened before, you said? In that case, allow me to be the first,” said Chu Feng with a disdainful smile. His tone was neither servile nor overbearing. Instead, it possessed a bit of a deliberateness in contradicting his elders.

“You…” Hearing those words, not to mention the elder that had threatened Chu Feng, practically all of the elders of the Punishment Department were enraged.

At this moment, only Hei Hong was not enraged. Instead, he was extremely calm, strangely calm.

“Each person possesses their own ambitions. It is meaningless to try to force someone.”

“However, Chu Feng, in the future, if you are to enter the path of evil and do something that you should not have, do not blame our Punishment Department for not giving you the opportunity to go toward the good. At that time, our Punishment Department will definitely not show any mercy or forgiveness toward you either,” Hei Hong said.

“I, Chu Feng, have never once regretted my decisions. I know very well what sort of path I will be walking down. Elder, there is no need for you to trouble yourself over this matter,” answered Chu Feng.

“Very well, you possess ambition. In that case, let’s wait and see who is right. Our Punishment Department will make sure to watch you attentively.” Hei Hong’s tone was still very calm and undisturbed, However, his final sentence contained a trace of anger.

After he finished saying those words, Hei Hong soared into the sky. As for the other elders of the Punishment Department, they followed closely behind him and left as well.

“Huff…”

At this moment, the surrounding crowd began to utter cries of surprise nonstop. Not only did Chu Feng reject the invitation of the Punishment Department, he actually publicly contradicted a management elder. This was truly extremely daring.

Chu Feng ignored the reaction of the crowd. He turned around and proceeded to enter his palace once more.

“Junior brother Chu Feng, why did you reject the Punishment Department’s invitation?” When Chu Feng returned to the palace, the original members of the Asura Division were all present.

While they did not go out, they all managed to see what had happened. Thus, like the others, they were greatly shocked and frightened by Chu Feng’s actions.

“While they say it’s an invitation, there is no sincerity at all. If he is to accept it, wouldn’t he be seeking embarra.s.sment and asking for future troubles?” Right when the crowd was asking Chu Feng why he rejected it, Bai Ruochen actually spoke in an unenthusiastic manner.

Other than Chu Feng, only Bai Ruochen managed to see through the invitation of the Punishment Department.
