C24 (1/2)
Liu'er was also staring at the three people at the door with suspicion. He had heard his master say before that the Purple Void Sect was the greatest sect in the martial arts world. These people must have known. How could they be so rude?
Why did the waiter jump in with them?
Liu'er was deep in thought when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her arm. She quickly took a glance and saw Xiao Lan pouting and glaring at her. Both of her hands pinched his arms, causing Liu'er to be even more confused. She asked curiously, ”What are you doing?”
Little Lan harrumphed and said coquettishly, ”I just want to see if you are doing well or not!”
Liu'er did not know that she was jealous, but seeing that she was angry for no reason, she did not dare to disobey, so she dodged and ran to the Daoist Master's side. ”I can run, but I can jump. Did you see that?” Xiao Lan also ran over and said in a displeased tone, ”He's also a little pervert who lost his heart!” Liu'er didn't know what she was saying, so she just stopped talking.
Men are different from women. Men are always happy when they see beautiful women, but women are always angry when they see women who are more beautiful than them.
Liu'er looked towards Daoist Voidgrace. She wanted to ask something, but she didn't know where to begin. The Daoist man merely smiled in satisfaction. He did not inquire further, as if everything was within his expectations.
Wu Chenzi was not angered by that man's rudeness. He had originally been ordered by his master to go down the mountain and train himself. Naturally, he wanted to get along with Wu Lin and the other men, so he treated them kindly. He sized that person up before cupping his hands and asking, ”I have cloudy eyes and do not recognize you. May I ask who you are?”
The man sneered: ”Hmph! He didn't dare to accept it! Daoist Wuchen's abilities were not small, but he was still called a hypocrite who humiliated Daoist Master Daozang's reputation! Lately, I have heard that someone's martial arts skills are higher than the Dao Repositories of the Violet Void Sect! ”
Wu Chenzi heard the man's words that insulted his master, and finally showed an angry expression and said: ”Since the martial arts world is filled with talented people, it is only right to push forward the future! However, it would be a bit too much for Senior to speak so rudely of our Sect's Ancestor! Who exactly is senior? ”
That person said, ”I can't afford to blaspheme against your ancestor.” Saying that, he looked around at the people in the hall, and said: ”I believe everyone has heard some rumors recently, if there is anything that you know, please say that it is long term for Wu Chen. This is a good lesson, and I know who exactly dares to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Daoist Priestess of the Purple Void Sect! ”
One of the people said, ”Daoist Wu Chen, there has been a rumour in the Jianghu recently that the Immortal Crocodile Clan's Lord of the Jiang Clan is a kind and merciful man who often helps out the poor and has unparalleled martial arts skills. Be it in terms of cultivation level or virtue, he was superior to Daoist Master Daozang. I didn't come for the Azure Sun Art. ”Senior Daozang has long since passed away. This junior is unable to appreciate his elegance. Since Chief Jiang has such a high level of cultivation, we will come here to seek advice.” Most of them agreed with what he said, and some of them even had different intentions. They said: ”I don't believe that you, an alligator in the middle of the river, is so capable that you are here to seek advice!” At that moment, everyone in the hall started to talk to each other, creating a ruckus.
Ever since this person entered the hall, the crocodile in the middle of the river had been staring at him. Even though it had heard the words of the crowd, it did not utter a single word nor did it try to defend itself.
The corners of his eyes twitched, and his face darkened. He clenched his fists, and the rutt-like wrinkles on his face seemed to deepen.
The smile on the man's face grew wider as he listened to the chatter of the crowd. He also looked at the crocodile in the river. The two of them looked at each other, and sparks of fire instantly flew in all directions. It was as if a star had fallen onto a dry haystack, and it started to burn without any restraint.
The crowd quieted down as they felt the two's scorching gazes on them. Wu Chenzi also realized that everything wasn't as simple as everyone had heard. It seemed to be as the Azure Dragon had said, that he might be taken as a chess piece.
The crocodile in the middle of the river finally let out a sigh. Its eyes were blazing, but its tone was surprisingly calm. It said word by word, ”You've come.”
That person said, ”You knew I would come?”
The crocodile's body finally moved as the veins on its hand bulged. Of course, he didn't know this person would come, but he had been waiting. Even he didn't know what he was waiting for.
