Chapter 185: Direct Disciple (1/2)

”T-The infamous Toxic Smoke,” Cui Gang uttered as he held a gawking expression.

His face has turned pale as he believed Yang Wei really had a disciple-relationship with a great elder in the Purple Scorpion Sect.

After all, the Toxic Smoke was not some cabbage in the street where you could just get it if you wished for it.

”Heh, do you still doubt my words, Cui Gang?” Yang Wei smirked as he tossed the Toxic Smoke up and down.

Yang Wei's previous behavior in acting as a side character had been thrown aside as he was now acting like a complete scoundrel.

Yang Wei needed to act haughty in this situation to make everything seem believable.

”Cui Gang, why are you so quiet all of sudden?” Yang Wei said as he continued, ”Do you want to test whether or not this Toxic Smoke in my hand is real or fake?”

Yang Wei had no intention in sparing Cui Gang from humiliation as he is a City guard that was supposed to protect civilians from injustice.

Instead of doing a duty that a City guard should have, Cui Gang was forcing a woman to marry someone else.

However, Yang Wei wasn't surprised by Cui Gang's action since the weak is always suppressed by the strong.

Except for this time, the tide had now turned and it was Yang Wei's turn in being the strong and suppressing Cui Gang.

Cui Gang swallowed nervously as he knelt down and begged, ”Esteemed sir, I didn't know you were a disciple to the great elder.”

”Direct disciple,” Yang Wei glared as he corrected Cui Gang's words.

”D-Direct disciple?” Cui Gang was ashen as he knew a direct disciple was treasured by the master and would receive all the resources as long as they asked for it.

The status and influence between a normal disciple and a direct disciple were as vast as the Earth and sky.

Cui Gang banged his head on the floor as he apologized, ”Please forgive our offense, we were only doing this because Wang Jang has threatened to utilize their Purple Scorpion Sect to attack and poison every civilian in the Ling City.”

Yang Wei narrowed his eyes as he glanced at Yan Meixu instead.

Yan Meixu giggled when she saw Yang Wei looking at her and ignored the pleading from Cui Gang.

Cui Gang noticed Yang Wei's eyesight and understood his meaning. The person he needed to beg for mercy wasn't him but Yan Meixu.

”Young Madam Yan Meixu, your heart is magnanimous and should understand that we, the City Guard, can only obey orders.” Cui Gang said as he started crawling toward Yan Meixu.

The rest of the guards also had their knees on the floor as they bowed before Yan Meixu and pleaded for mercy.

After all, they all knew who to choose between a direct disciple or an elder. A direct disciple of a great elder had more future in the sect than a lowly elder like Wang Jang.
