Chapter 47 Seniors arrive (2/2)
”Oh, come on! I know you have no shame from how you attacked me right after I was rescued by the sect master herself, but You can't expect those respectable seniors to believe that such a weak person like me would attack your entire group of strong cultivators while busy helping this girl to her home! I can bear you mocking me, but I can't say the same for those respectable seniors!”
Ha! If he thinks he can challenge me for who can be more shameless, I will show him whats the meaning of despair! Groweling on the floor, licking the shoes, having my head washed in the toilet… They can't even imagine what I went through back on earth! Affairs like this are nothing for me!
”We don't care who started, but we will be the one to end it. If your grudge is buried to deep to be forgiven, settle it with a duel.”
Not going to listen to our bullshit anymore, one of the seniors stepped up and passed his judgement.
”I will humbly oblige by my senior ruling!”
Bowing down with my entire body, I pushed Eve's back a bit to make it look that she was accepting this outcome as well. To be honest, looking at her state right now, it was a miracle she didn't assault me right on the spot!
”What about you then? If I recall it correctly, Baxhar it is? Do you have any problems with my judgement?”
Spreading the air of superiority, the talkative senior approached my love rival with a menacing look on his face. It was obvious that they were too busy slacking off on their duty to be bothered by the intricate workings of love affairs between their juniors.
Do you have a problem? Settle it on the arena and stop making things hard for us. That was how those core disciples operated while on duty!
”I will humbly comply with your ruling, Senior!”
Placed in a corner with nowhere to run, Baxhar could only go with the flow. While the end result was exactly the same as he intended it to be, seniors intervention meant that the news of this duel will surely spread among the sect! While the duel won't be called back due to the inner sect laws, he already knows that he is bound to face sect master wrath for picking a fight with someone she just saved!
”The fight will take place two days from now, in the eastern arena of the inner sect. Now, scram!”
As soon as the seniors left, I put a wide smile on my face, grabbed Eve's under my arm and turned around to leave.
”Don't forget about this duel! I will make sure to show you how the world looks upside down in two days!”
Throwing the last bait just before I pick up the pace and start moving, I can feel a light tugging on my robe. Looking down, I can see Eve's eyes gazing right into my face with a look of expectation in them.
”Hurry, please…”
With her delicate, silent voice, my mind instantly focuses on one task. No matter what, I need to get us to her home as soon as possible!
