787 Roll, Another Problem (1/2)

There was a saying that went: people speak nicely when they are on the verge of death.

Lin Mubai felt like he was going to die. That was why he spoke more kindly and did not blame Ling Yun Tower overtly. All he wanted was the fulfilment of his last wishes.

Fang Zhengzhi, however, did not want to die. Thus, he did not feel the need to mince his words. He felt that in terms of dealing with Ling Yun Tower, only evil could overcome evil.

Fang Zhengzhi had used a particularly vile insult. Calling someone a woman with a ”big and round face” and ”an ugly monster” was very impressionable.

Fang Zhengzhi had decided to go all out and shot his mouth off with no mercy.

Anyway, it was all just words. Not much energy was required.

Of course, as for the effect of the scolding…

Fang Zhengzhi looked around him and saw that the present disciples of Ling Yun Tower as well as the five women with Cang Yue were all dumbfounded.

Seems like it was pretty effective!

Then…

The response came swiftly.

However, it did not come from the intended target.

The first person to express his anger was not a disciple of Ling Yun Tower nor the five women standing beside Cang Yue.

The disciples of Ling Yun Tower and the five women standing beside Cang Yue had all heard Fang Zhengzhi and were shocked. Still, they all remained silent and looked at each other helplessly.

On the other hand, Lin Mubai had become agitated and acted like he had been slapped by someone. His pale face was slowly turning red.

”Fang Zhengzhi, you dare insult my… why would you insult Yu Er!” Lin Mubai was enraged but he tried hard to control himself.

”Shameless rascal. How would my motherbe an ugly Monster. Besides… monsters aren't ugly!” Ping Yang had a firm view that her mother was not ugly.

After all, no one would find their own mother ugly.

Fang Zhengzhi was speechless.

He had been confident that his goading would succeed but yet he only managed to elicit reactions from the people on his side. The people who were supposed to be railing at the top of their voices remained silent.

What had gone wrong?

Was none of them interested in defending the reputation of their master?

Things were becoming awkward.

Just as Fang Zhengzhi was considering whether to continue with his tirade, the response that he had been waiting for rang out.

”Fang Zhengzhi, how dare you sully the good name of our master!” It was the severely injured Cang Yue.

While the other members of Ling Yun Tower held their tongues, Cang Yue, the personal aide to Yu Er, chose to speak out.

Fang Zhengzhi's eyes brightened a little.

It was not that his words were not effective. The people from Ling Yun Tower just had slow reactions.

Could he expect a storm now?

Fang Zhengzhi did not fire back immediately and decided to wait for a heavier reaction.

The thing was, all of the members of Ling Yun Tower remained wordless and stared quietly at Fang Zhengzhi. It was very strange.

”…” Fang Zhengzhi felt his cheeks burn a little. He had always prided himself on his thick skin but their judgemental gazes were getting to him.

What did this mean?

The disciples of Ling Yun Tower had no qualms about sacrificing themselves for victory but were letting him get away with verbally abusing their leader?

So much for their faith!

Fang Zhengzhi could not believe it. He decided to try again with viler words.

”Yu Er, you flat chested hag. Not only do you have a big and round face, you have eyes of different sizes, a crooked nose, buck teeth, freckles, legs of different length…”

Fang Zhengzhi was listing out every possible characteristic of an ugly woman.

Lin Mubai exploded!

”Dirty rascal, shut your mouth. Yu Er resembles Ping Yang, especially in the eyes. She looks nothing like your description!”

”Shameless fellow, what did my mother do to offend you?” Ping Yang did not understand Fang Zhengzhi's motive in doing this.

Another voice rang out.

”I beseech the five masters to kill him on my behalf!”

It was not an order but more of a plea. This meant that Cang Yue was not of a higher rank than the five women.

The five women nodded gently in response to Cang Yue and shot looks at the two white-robed women standing beside Green Jade.

The two white-robed women quickly understood and rushed over to Cang Yue where they guarded her.

The five women had begun to act.

They walked towards Fang Zhengzhi, Ping Yang and Lin Mubai breezily and surrounded them.

Fang Zhengzhi had wanted to continue with his scolding.

Nevertheless, he decided to stop after he realised that he had angered Lin Mubai and Ping Yang while the people from Ling Yun Tower were unfazed.
