Chapter 96 - Vicious Pill King (2/2)

Then two more disciples brought an unconscious Lin Tianyu.

“Tianyu!”

Lin Zitian jumped next to him, then his look was filled with murderous desire, “Who hurt him?”

The youth cut her off before she could reply, “Master, is that kid’s injury grave?”

“He-he-he, that’s putting it mildly. If not dead then a cripple. The culprit sure had no restraint.” Yan Song enjoyed others’ misfortune.

The youth laughed in ridicule, “Merry Woods’ disciple can’t even take a hit. And his master is no different either.”

Lin Zitian gnashed his teeth, glaring at the youth.

Qin Caiqing smiled, “Little brother is wrong. The one he met was an even younger man, whose strength is above all the seven houses’ genius disciples. Little brother is Elder Yan’s disciple, but even you will meet the same fate.”

The youth frowned, filled with rebuke. Qin Caiqing secretly smiled.

“Senior sister, why didn’t you bring him? Is he stronger than you?” Peony Overseer jerked.

Shaking her head, Qin Caiqing said, “Perhaps not, but you know how I am, staying outside others’ affairs. If someone messed with my disciple, I’ll intervene, but…”

Qin Caiqing sighed as she looked at Xiao Dandan, “Dandan, you explain. And be honest. I already know everything that transpired.”

“Yes, senior aunt!”

Xiao Dandan sobbed a nod, then retold the events.

The people there sighed at the conclusion. Not for the humiliated Dong clan though, since none of the seven houses gave a damn about these people. They were considered slaves in their eyes.

And their disciples were of the same mind. Some might be even more ruthless than Xiao Dandan. It was only thanks to the Drifting Flowers Edifice’s restrictions on their disciples that made them far more restrained.

What was on everyone’s mind was Zhuo Fan’s conduct.

Not only did he end the humiliation the Dong clan received but turned the humiliation back at Xiao Dandan and her fiancée. With such a savage method.

Fifth elder couldn’t help associating him with a familiar figure.

Didn’t his actions resemble that of Zhuo Fan who killed the seventh elder?

He stroked his beard as he stated, “Ha-ha-ha, what is wrong with the Tianyu Empire? With Zhuo Fan as the origin, many more are starting to belittle the seven houses, assaulting our disciples again and again. If we don’t keep them in check, none will fear us.”

“He-he-he, isn’t it all because of Hell Valley’s incompetence? You have yet to find that insolent brat too. You’re making us, the other six houses, look bad!” Yan Song mocked.

Fifth elder wasn’t angry as he turned to the youth behind him with a smile, “Yeah, it’s all our fault. But for an elder to step into a disciple’s conflict, isn’t it more shameful? Lin Zitian, too bad you didn’t bring another disciple to take revenge for Tianyu and save that Dandan girl’s reputation.”

The youth jumped in front of Xiao Dandan before Lin Zitian could reply, and took her arm, “Come with me, I will avenge you!”

And with that short declaration, the two were gone, causing the fifth elder to show a broad smile.

“Insolent! That brat has no manners at all. He even ignored my presence and took my disciple away!” Peony Overseer’s lip trembled in rage.

Yan Song waved his hand as he walked off, “Ha-ha-ha, in this world, a woman’s fate is to land in a man’s arms. Drifting Flowers Edifice wouldn’t have lasted so long without this!”

When Yan Song was gone, the fifth elder’s eyes squinted as he too took the initiative to leave. “That old fool must have also sensed it…”

Peony Overseer was confused, “Why is everyone leaving?”

Lin Zitian frowned, eying Qin Caiqing with a profound gaze, “Iris Overseer, are you certain that troublemaker isn’t that demon Zhuo Fan?”

“What? He’s Zhuo Fan?” Peony Overseer jerked.

Qin Caiqing’s eyes showed a peculiar light, “I am unclear. The kid is outstanding, but not enough to kill Profound Heaven experts!”

“Maybe he is faking it…” Lin Zitian then laughed, “I see now why even Vicious Pill King is impatient to watch the fight. If he really is Zhuo Fan, his disciple is as good as dead! At that time…

“Yan Song will make a move. However…” His lips traced a cryptic curve. Qin Caiqing finished, “It is unclear if Zhuo Fan can kill a man viler than even You Guiqi. After all, he is called the Vicious Pill King for a reason!”

Lin Zitian nodded with a mutter, “I just hope he is Zhuo Fan…”
