320 Chen Dandan is my old friend (1/2)
”Perhaps they were referring to someone else.”
Zhou Donghuang shook his head and got ready to leave.
However, another voice rang out once again, causing him to freeze.
”Hong Yunfei, I heard rumors that you are from the Yunfeng prefecture, which was the most elite and sacred group that existed when our young master of the Donghuang Sect was still alive... Those who are a part of the group are already so talented, but you aren't of the same standard at all.
”Previously, during the sub-sect trials, you managed to get first. Surely this wasn't because you cheated your way through?”
This voice was mocking and scornful.
”This Hong Yunfei is also from the Yunfeng prefecture?”
Zhou Donghaung froze and flew forward, appearing at the center of the Donghuang Peak, where a performing arts stage was erected.
After glancing ahead, he could see a ragged young man sitting on the floor breathless. He looked defeated. This defeated-looking teenager was glaring up at an arrogant young man with an unsatisfied gaze. ”Fang Lunjie, we are of the same age. I've only entered the sect for three months, and yet you've been in this sect for three years! Is it that surprising that you've managed to beat me?
”Three months. Give me three months. In three months, I, Hong Yunfei, will definitely defeat you!”
Hong Yunfei was the beloved young master of the Hong family, which was the elite family of the Yunfeng prefecture and one that Chen Dandan had associated with in the past.
Previously, his father, Master Hong, had found out about Chen Dandan's identity and asked for Hong Yunfei to chase Chen Dandan. Afterwards, he had successfully visited the Valley of the Medicine Masters, where he had met Chen Dandan's biological father, the second elder of the Valley of the Medicine Masters.
However, afterwards, Chen Dandan felt that he was not fit to marry her and had sent him out of the Valley of the Medicine Masters.
Afterwards, Hong Yunfei had an epiphany through this incident that relying on others was not a good way to live life, and that he should depend on himself. After he had returned to the Hong family in the Yunfeng prefecture, he fully committed himself to training. He wanted to embarrass Chen Dandan and make her regret her decision in the future.
A while later, he heard that Chen Dandan had entered one of the strongest sects in the Ziyun planet, the Xuanyin Sect, and was being cared for by Golden Essence adepts. He felt despair in his heart and felt that he had no hope left in his life. Because of that, his training stage had remained stagnant for a long time.
After entering the Donghuang Sub-Sect, he had then entered the main Donghuang Sect.
Half a year ago, he had gotten the top results in the Donghuang Sub-Sect's examinations and received a nomination to enter the main Donghuang Sect. Three months prior to this, he had entered the Donghuang Sect and thus achieved his main aspiration.
”Do you really think three months is enough?”
The young man standing before Hong Yunfei wore an impassive look, and he glanced casually at the other Donghuang Sect disciples who were standing around as onlookers. ”Did you all hear that? Hong Yunfei declared that he will be able to defeat me within three months.
”Perhaps, he does not know that... As long as I utter the words, my father can confiscate the spirit stone veins that he would claim each month, leaving him with no spirit stone veins to train with.”
As he spoke, the young man had on a cold look.
As Hong Yunfei heard this words, his face changed greatly.
He naturally knew that Fang Lunjie was not joking around.
Fang Lunjie's father was one of the outer elders of the sect who was in charge of the internal affairs of the sect's disciples. As long as Fang Lunjie spoke up, he could use all sorts of reasons to cut off his supply to spirit stone veins, causing him to lack spirit stone veins for training. If that happened, his training progress would slow down greatly.
He had not expected Fang Lunjie to be so cruel just because of a small duel.
”Senior Fang!”
The skinny youth who had gone forward to help Hong Yunfei heard Fang Lunjie's words and his face became as pale as a sheet. Instantly, he let go of Hong Yunfei and took two to three steps before Fang Lunjie and knelt down. ”Senior Fang, let me kneel to you. I'll even lick your shoe right now!
”This matter does not concern Hong Yunfei, please do not cut off his spirit stone veins supply. Please.”
As the skinny youth spoke, he lowered his head and prepared to lick Fang Lunjie's right shoe.
One could see that the shoe had a faint grey mark on it.
”Xiaoyong!” Hong Yunfei barked. ”Do not do this and disrespect yourself! If the sect does not care for our welfare, we can return to the sub-sect and never return to the main sect!”
”Senior Yunfei.”
The skinny youth turned to glance at Hong Yunfei, and tears streamed from his eyes. ”Senior Yunfei, entering the main sect was always your dream. It was because of your hard work that you've turned into a role model that I could emulate, and I could enter the main sect as well.
”Today's events happened because of me. Let me settle them for you. I beg you,” Xiao Yong begged.
At this point, the number of onlookers grew, and Zhou Donghuang also learned of the past events through word-of-mouth.
The skinny youth named ”Xiao Yong” was careless while walking and had accidentally stepped on the shoe of the Donghuang Sect disciple, Fang Lunjie. Even though he had apologized many times, Fang Lunjie still said that he had to lick his shoe clean.
At this point, Hong Yunfei stood up for Xiao Yong but was defeated and injured by Fang Lunjie.
Xiao Yong and Hong Yunfei were from the same batch of people who had entered the Donghuang Sect through the Donghuang Sub-Sect's examinations.
Other than being an outer disciple, Fang Lunjie also had a father who was an outer elder. In the Donghuang Sect, many disciples feared him and did not dare to offend him. Those who had offended him in the past had all suffered the consequences for doing so.
Under such a situation, Fang Lunjie became extremely arrogant and insensitive.
Subconsciously, over time, Zhou Donghuang's gaze had become cold.
Such a thing could actually happen in his Donghuang Sect?
”That's enough.”
Zhou Donghuang stepped out slowly, cutting through the crowd of people and glanced impassively at Fang Lunjie. He then glanced at Xiao Yong, who was kneeling, and said, ”Is kneeling down and licking someone's shoe something that the Donghuang Sect taught you?
