Chapter 263 - Public Condemnation (1/2)
The whispers came.
”It's Long Yifei!”
”Look, Fairy Long!”
The first wave was mostly the males of the younger generation that could not resist their urges and blurted out their thoughts. But who could blame them? Even Chen Wentian had a hard time resisting the pure v.i.r.g.i.nal aura around Long Yifei, let alone a bunch of mortals.
Countless pairs of eyeballs followed her every step, every movement. They had all seen the final results and knew she would be here today. Even though she was not ranked first, she was considered the main attraction!
”Wow…”
”The rumors were true!”
There were many desperate souls among the audience. Many stood up to get a better look, causing others to stand up as well to not have their view be blocked. Her beauty which had only been drawn on canvas and written about was on display for all to see and there not a single bit of untruth. She was every bit as beautiful as their imaginations and even more.
Snow Fairy Long! She was here!
Her reputation was spotless and resounded across the whole subcontinent. She had dropped out of the top one hundred due to tragedy but managed to claw her way back. This made her even more amazing in the eyes of the young geniuses and princes of capital. She was the perfect woman in their eyes. She was the ideal wife.
Long Yifei ignored the noise and quietly followed her sisters down the stairs. Their seat was at the very bottom, the front row. It was natural since Ten Thousand Flower Valley was the highest-ranking sect in the Immortal Sect Competition.
As she walked down, the voices soon included not just the mortals but the immortals as well. Only, the immortals were much more daring and their sharp words could be clearly heard by everyone.
”Why is she walking behind them all?”
”Is she a low-ranking disciple?”
”Who are these girls in front of her?”
There were many dissatisfied people. They could not believe that the most beautiful and talented woman of the land would not be the first disciple. They were shocked that she was relegated to walk behind not just one or two disciples but eight!
The verbal barrage continued even after Chen Wentian and his disciples took their seats. It was as if the entire amphitheater was criticizing him!
Chen Wentian finally had enough and stood up.
”I thought this was the Eastern Sanmu Metropolis and not a brothel for people of low mortal quality and no manners to ogle at women. There are so many immortals among the audience today. I thought my peers were lords amongst men and women but it seems I was mistaken.” He said, his voice clear and strong.
”Arrogant!”
”You dare?”
”Is this how you treat Snow Fairy Long?”
”You don't deserve a disciple like her!”
Chen Wentian looked around the entire place, noting down those that were being the most vocal. They were mostly men and the immortals among them tended to be so old that they looked almost ready to fall over and die. There were also some old grandma immortals, probably angry because he had a bunch of youthful female disciples.
He shook his head. These kinds of people were those that managed to break through by sheer luck. They were unable to capture that same kind of fortune for the rest of their immortal lives and would die with regrets. They were also incapable of raising any disciple with any remote chance of achieving the same heights. Their complaints stemmed mostly from jealousy, jealous of his talent, his luck, and his disciples.
