Those words were made by a man in a green robe entering the guest hall.
His hair was green, his eyes were green, and even his beard was green, painting a particularly strange image.
He had a violet gourd strapped to his waist. His appearance caused Elder Lin and the fifth elder to show respect.
“Master, you are amazing beyond words. Not even Hell Valley and Merry Woods dare utter a sound in your presence, ha-ha-ha…”
A youth in his twenty came following behind the elder, he was at peak Bone Tempering Stage. Yet, his tone lacked the respect and manner one should have when talking to the three other people present there.
The trio’s faces turned ashen, their anger was slowly rising, but they held their tongue.
This scene would shock anyone. Three Profound Heaven experts were mocked by a Bone Tempering pup. And they didn’t even retort, despite the rude tone.
Fifth elder, who was known for his quick temper, was also silent. A scene that even his disciples would find it hard to imagine.
“Elder Yan, you should mind your disciple, he doesn’t seem to have any manners. Is this how a junior speaks to his elders?” fifth elder said unhappily.
Yet, the elder in green caressed his beard with a smile, “Hell Valley’s fifth elder, why argue with a child? It doesn’t befit your status, ha-ha-ha…”
“Exactly, you’re totally not acting as a senior should. So, why should I treat you like one?” The youth’s brash voice was tinted with mockery.
Fifth elder shivered and his face turned red, itching to pry this fool’s head from his body. But he forced his anger down and resumed to clenching his fists.
With a crack, a piece of the table was vaporized.
Lin Zitian eyed the fifth elder’s anger and secretly sighed. He had some reservations when looking at the elder in green as he forced a laughter, “Ha-ha-ha, I’d never guessed such a small meeting will bring together four of the seven houses. With Elder Yan attending, the meeting will run smoothly!”
“He-he-he, Lin Zitian, you don’t need to give me lip service. I know none of you see me eye to eye. But who told you to name it as the Hundred Pill Meeting? You think it’s worthy of the name ‘Hundred Pill’ if I, Vicious Pill King, is missing in attendance?”
The elder in green didn’t give Lin Zitian any respect and even mocked him to the point Lin Zitian turned his head away.
Peony Overseer was livid, but on top of her anger lied a deep seething hatred.
“Elder Yan Song,” Peony Overseer spat, “Drifting Flowers Edifice doesn’t seem to have extended Pill King Hall an invitation. So why have you graced us with your uninvited presence?”
“Ha-ha-ha, Peony Overseer, you’re as fiery as ever!”
With his eyes flashing green, Yan Song snorted, “In the Tianyu Empire, I can go wherever I want with no one daring to oppose me! Now that I’m here in your Drifting Flowers City, are you going to kick me out?”
“You…”
She was poised to attack, but Lin Zitian stopped her, “Peony Overseer, calm yourself.”
Eying Yan Song cautiously, Lin Zitian sighed as he gave her a look, “Before Edifice Lord comes, be careful of devolving the situation!”
Peony Overseer snorted, turning her body away, easing Lin Zitian’s worry.
“Ha-ha-ha, Peony Overseer is like a lass, so spiteful. So, it is a wonder to me how you still became an overseer? Master, you were right. A bunch of broads can never accomplish anything. Drifting Flowers Edifice is the worst of the seven houses by far.” The youth ridiculed.
The eyes of the three turned sharply. [Vicious Pill King is too arrogant and his disciple belittles anyone he sees.]
Their ‘friendly’ conversation was interrupted when a sound came from outside the door.
“Little brother, Drifting Flowers Edifice may have only women but it has stood strong in Tianyu Empire for a millennia. It has its own principles, it is not something anyone can criticize.”
A beauty in blue floated in, the Iris Overseer, Qin Caiqing!
“Senior sister, you’re back!” Peony Overseer cried, regaining her confidence, “Where did you go? We have someone barging uninvited and I am powerless to stop them.”
Peony Overseer’s eyes snapped to Yan Song but Qin Caiqing simply smiled, “Shouldn’t you be taking care of your precious disciple instead? I once told you to raise your disciple better, not to disgrace Drifting Flowers Edifice’s reputation.”
“Who did she offend?”
Shaking her head, Qin Caiqing simply clapped.
Two female disciples brought Xiao Dandan who was still wrapped in the blue ribbon. With her curves full-on display, she earned the youth’s fiery gaze.
