Chapter 198 (2/2)
The first person to walk out was just about to leave his faction when he was grabbed by the core disciple .
He bitterly smiled . “If you want to kill me, go ahead . I won’t resist .
“Being treated as a brother amongst everyone really caused my heart incomparable torment over the past few days . I’ve had enough of that pain .
“I want to be like Long Chen, being a real, genuine man . Even if you kill me now, I think I’ll still count as a real man . ”
The entire crowd was silent, watching that core disciple . That core disciple heavily patted him on the shoulders . “What are you doing? If you leave, where am I supposed to get another brother?”
That person was shocked . Looking into that core disciple’s eyes, he couldn’t hold back his tears .
“Hey, if you keep acting like a girl then I really will kick you out . Come, this many brothers can’t lose you . ” That core disciple was filled with emotion .
After that disciple returned to his faction, there were immediately several other core disciples who called back those people who had walked out .
“Don’t just stand there stupidly . Everyone’s already returned, so don’t just stand there like an idiot . ” Other core disciples also scolded them lightly . Those people weren’t much better than the first one, also crying from emotion .
Ling Yun-zi and Tu Fang saw everything from above . Ling Yun-zi nodded, “Long Chen is a natural leader . He has an innate charisma that causes people to follow him to the grave . With just a couple words, he was able fill quite a few of them with an unswerving loyalty . That’s not something ordinary experts are able to do . ”
Tu Fang also nodded . Long Chen had a wisdom that did not match his age . He had managed to see through the monastery’s goals with just a glance .
But he was unable to comprehend why someone so smart would do some things that were so stupid .
With Long Chen’s wisdom, even if he had suffered defeat this time, he would definitely be able to turn the situation around quickly . Why did he have to use such an extreme method?
“It’s Long Chen right? I am Luo Cang . I hope we can be friends . ”
That first core disciple who forgave his undercover agent and pulled that disciple back walked over to Long Chen and extended a hand .
“I don’t like having friends . ” Long Chen shook his head . “Instead I like having life and death brothers . ” Long Chen also extended his hand .
That person’s expression changed when he heard the first half, but hearing the rest he laughed heartily .
The two of them clasped hands . Luo Cang laughed, “Good, hopefully there will be a day where I can stand with brother Long on the battlefield . ”
Following Luo Cang’s actions, there were also several other core disciples who walked over to shake hands with Long Chen .
Although Long Chen’s cultivation base was the weakest here, everyone deeply admired that arrogance and heroic nature of his .
As for Gu Yang, Lei Qianshang, and Qi Xin, their expressions were extremely ugly . That was because all those turncoats had been placed there by them .
Now that all those disciples turned against them, their petty tricks had immediately been revealed .
Those turncoats who were allowed to return to their faction looked at them especially contemptuously, causing them to almost burst from fury .
“Elder Sun, Long Chen has broken the monastary’s rules and maliciously killed people . His crime cannot be forgiven . Please give us justice Elder . ” Qi Xin respectfully bowed to Elder Sun .
Originally Elder Sun had been completely shut up by Long Chen’s questions . Then seeing more and more core disciples walk over to him, he immediately realized the situation was getting out of his control . He had been thinking of how to react to all this when Qi Xin’s words have him a reminder .
I really have been an idiot . What do I need to argue about with him? Since he’s killed people and broken the monastery’s rules, I can just directly declare his punishment .
Elder Sun gravely said, “Long Chen, no matter how you quibble, you cannot change the fact you maliciously killed people .
“But you should be thankful that the monastery’s rules favor the strong . You won’t have to pay with your life for killing others . However, from today onwards, you will never be a disciple of this monastery again . You are expelled . ”
Tang Wan-er was the first to walk up, “Since Elder has made such a judgement, then Tang Wan-er will also leave the monastery with Long Chen . ”
“What!?”
Everyone was given a shock . Tang Wan-er would actually go with Long Chen if he was expelled?!
“Ye Zhiqiu also wishes to leave . ” Ye Zhiqiu was completely determined .
Long Chen was dumbstruck . He was about to say something when someone else then spoke .
“Song Mingyuan also wishes to leave . ”
“Li Qi also wishes to leave . ”
“Luo Cang as well . ”
“ . . . ”
Other than these five, there were also another four core disciples who stood out . They clearly believed that with this many people together, the monastery definitely wouldn’t expel them all . Even though he had broken the rules, with this many people supporting his actions, there was no way Elder Sun could punish him . At this critical moment, they had all chosen to stand by Long Chen .
“Are you all planning on rebelling?!” Elder Sun raged . They were completely forcing the monastery in this manner . If this continued, he really would be unable to punish Long Chen .
Suddenly a voice rang out that filled the entire sky .
“Let me handle this matter . ”
