Chapter 118
Common Complaints
As he observed the scene that was unfolding before him, Chengfeng's heart shuddered. From what he saw, they were not cultivating disciples, they were literally an army camp full of soldiers!
The disciples' perfectly coordinated movements and killing intent paired with their twelve amendments were awe-inspiring!
However, it seemed that the Grand Senior Brother was dissatisfied with their performance as he glared at the crowd and shouted in a fury, “Have you all not eaten?! Where is your strength?!”
Someone in the crowd cried, “Grand Senior Brother, we hve been doing homework since dawn, there was no time for breakfast!”
Grand Senior Brother shouted furiously, “Who said that! Step out now!”
The crowd snickered, yet no one walked dared to step out from the crowd.
The Grand Senior Brother glanced towards the side and shouted, “Sun Yongcai, don't think I didn't know it was you who spoke!”
The man called Sun Yongcai immediately looked to the ground, those who stood beside him covered their mouths as they giggled, delighted by the fact that he was being lectured.
The Grand Senior Brother snarled, “Doing your homework in the morning? Wasn't it supposed to be time for breakfast? Why are you so stubborn!”
Sun Yongcai gulped as he replied, “Grand Senior Brother, I just don't understand!”
The Grand Senior Brother froze, he never expected that in front of such a huge crowd, there would actually be a disciple that dared to talk back to him!
The Grand Senior Brother's facial expression darkened. Qin Mieqin, who stood at the front of the platoon, loudly spoke, “Sun Yongcai, are you back talking your senior?!”
Sun Yongcai, who was unwilling to submit, blurted, “It takes 50 years to be considered as another generation! Grand Senior Brother is in the same generation as me! How would this be considered as rebelling against a senior!”
Qin Mieqin replied, “Grand Senior Brother had been handling Cangjian Court for the past 13 years! His finger adorns the Cangjian ring, his hand wields the Heaven Splitting Sword! When our Martial Uncles are not here, he's naturally the most respected member of Cangjian Court! And yet you dare to speak to him in such a way! How dare you say that this is not rebelling against a senior!”
“It has been 25 years since I have entered Cangjian Court, never have I seen one Martial Uncle! Who knows if they're all dead or not!” replied Sun Yongcai angrily.
Grand Senior Brother's expression had turned extremely dark. Qin Mieqin angrily fired back, “Sun Yongcai! Have you lost your mind?! How dare you say such a thing! Shut your mouth! Today you have disrespected your senior in front of your brothers, your words have disrespected our court! You are now punished and grounded for two months! Your salary will be deducted for half a year! Let's see if you're satisfied with that!”
Sun Yongcai's face was red with anger, “I'm not!”
The turn of events made the people surrounding Sun Yongcai uncomfortable as they glanced at each other. They couldn't believe that Sun Yongcai would actually dare to clash heads with the two most influential people of Cangjian Court.
Qin Mieqin took a deep breath. He noticed that there seemed to be a problem today, this Sun Yongcai wanted to stir up trouble!
But… What kind of trouble does he want to stir up?
Could it be…
Qin Mieqin seemed to have realised something, and immediately called upon the guards, “Even if you're not satisfied, you have no choice but to! Guards! Take him away!”
Ouyang Nan who stood beside him smirked. However, Sun Yongcai suddenly stepped out from the crowd as he angrily shouted, “Why won't you let me speak? Could it be that you're afraid I've destroyed your plan? Destroyed the pretty little dream that you people who are in charge of Cangjian Court have?”
The crowd started to discuss among each other, each of them looked at Grand Brother Senior with suspicion in their eyes.
Ouyang Nan couldn't stand this anymore and scolded, “Sun Yongcai! Do you want to die?!”
Yongcai angrily retorted, “What? Do you want to kill me to silence me now? Alright, come!” Just as he finished his sentence, he took off his cultivator robe and presented himself in full nude. Pointing towards the countless scars on his chest, he screamed, “Come, stab me here! I have endangered my life for Cangjian Court countless times! Three times out of those missions, I had encountered a near-death experience as I crawled back from death's door! The scars on my body have acc.u.mulated to 23 scars big and small! None of these scars are on my back! Tell me, what does this entail?!”
The crowd stared at Sun Yongcai's back that was smooth and strong.
He then turned to the crowd, showing his scarred chest. All of them had the look of pity showing through their expressions.
Sun Yongcai slapped his chest as he shouted furiously, “Those enemies that I had defeated for our Court couldn't take my life away. But if you can really bring yourselves to do it, then come! Come and stab me right here!”
Grand Brother Senior used all of his patience to calm down his fury as he said, “Sun Yongcai! Is there something you actually want to say?! Today, in front of everyone, I'll let you say whatever you want! Speak to your heart's content!”
