951 A Joint Reques (1/2)
”Ren Qingkuang isn't making it up.”
Ping Xiaoyi heaved a sigh and joined in the conversation emotively, ”There was a rogue cultivator back in the day called Han Yunkong. His nemesis had intentionally or unintentionally said, 'Han Yunkong? You mean Three Pile Dog Poop Han Yunkong?' when people were to mention Han Yunkong in public. Since then, it became a running joke and Three Pile Dog Poop Han Yunkong never left people's lips. Until the day he passed on, the joke didn't die...”
”The scented moniker was his throughout his lifetime, despite his best efforts to wash it away… Until his last moment in this world, he was still cursing the heavens… There's nothing more poignant than a misgiven nickname!”
”His life- long tragedy was caused by this ill-intentioned prank!”
Yun Yang took a deep breath and responded, ”It's amazing that this actually happened.”
”There are far too many ways in the martial world to kill someone. It's not common to see a moniker killing a person, but it's not entirely unheard of.”
Ping Xiaoyi sighed softly, ”Once an ill-intentioned name is made up, like 'Lecher of the Decade' or 'Conscienceless Beast', names that are derogatory, and publicized by a group of people, being talked about and bandied about everywhere… It'll plant its roots after some time…”
”A moniker has always been the second life of a martial artist.”
”This is why it's better to make one up and circulate it yourself than for someone to make one up for you with less than pure intentions.”
Guo Nuanyang felt fervently for the topic as he added, ”That's right. Day-Long Assassin… was made up by others. It was never my ambition to be an assassin… but to live up to this name, I became one. Although the outcome is that I'm very much suitable to be one, it's only luck, one fortunate event among many misfortunes.”
”If I weren't gifted enough to be an assassin, I would be a laughing stock my whole life, carrying this nickname.”
As the group continued to chat and recuperate while cultivating, the atmosphere grew increasingly friendly.
The interaction finally allowed Yun Yang to know the reason these fellows were so reverent and impressed by him.
”The longest we lasted was only for seven days…” Shi Wuchen went closer and lowered his voice, ”But you, boss, managed to last for eighteen days. It's spectacular, you managed to perform a feat that we couldn't…”
Yun Yang instantly understood what had happened.
The martial world prioritized capability. To ask a group of prodigies to submit to you, you had to be more superior and talented than they were. His level had obviously surpassed their imagination, so what he received was of course acknowledgment and genuine submission.
”Boss! The nine of us have a joint request!”
Tie Qingcang stood up and spoke humbly, ”We hope that you can agree to it.”
”Nine of you?” Yun Yang was puzzled. ”Where do the nine of you come from?”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.
The group laughed and answered in a jovial manner, ”Wu Menghuan and Luo Dajiang are on their way. They're probably arriving soon, so it's a joint request from the nine of us.”
”Then the number of people still doesn't add up. Shouldn't it be the ten of you?”
Yun Yang was mystified. He was probably too spent recently that his mind was not working properly.
”Shi Wuchen is not included, so it's just the nine of us,” several people chanted in unison.
Shi Wuchen was enraged.
”I'm warning you, fellows, don't play tricks! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite. Not only am I the second Supreme, but I am also Supreme Sword!”
The seven men were not at all frightened by his blatant threat, all of them retorting coldly, ” What is it to you if we're playing tricks? What can you do? What do you dare do?”
”We would collectively ask for you to refrain from deciding on any titles in the Residence of Nine Supremes, other than retaining your position as the main Supreme, Supreme Cloud. We shall decide the second to ninth Supreme based on our capability when everyone's here.”
” However, the Residence of Nine Supremes only has room for nine Supremes. The Demiurge-Flawed Ten has ten people. There will surely be two left out. What do we do about this?” said Yun Yang.
