131 A Vicious Object from the Heavens (1/2)
”So, the rumors were true!” Chen Yutong's breathing hastened. He stepped back and blinked several times as he looked at the burly puppets making disturbing sounds at Lin Tianhao.
”Senior Brother Chen, what do you mean by that?” Hearing the words from Chen Yutong's mouth, Lin Tianhao's mood instantly changed. He immediately had the impression that the visit from Chen Yutong was purely to watch him make a fool of himself.
However, Chen Yutong seemed to not have heard Lin Tianhao's question. He continued looking at the three puppets, flipping his right hand and retrieving a jade slip, as if to record data about the three puppets.
The anger that Lin Tianhao had suppressed for the past two weeks rose to its highest point and erupted, seeing how Chen Yutong had shown up from nowhere to watch him make a joke of himself. That was compounded by the unending disturbing sounds made by the three puppets and the fact that one of them was currently taking a few steps forward toward him, arms wide open and lips perked up, wanting to receive hugs and kisses from him.
He did not want to express his anger toward Chen Yutong. He shouted angrily as he turned his body and stepped right in front of the burly puppet, which was asking for a hug with its arms wide open. With immense anger, and indescribable hatred toward Wang Baole, he slapped the puppet hard.
”Shut up!”
That slap harnessed all the power of the first level of his True Breath cultivation. Coupled with the boost by his anger, the force was compounded. As the loud slap reverberated, Chen Yutong was taken aback, as the puppet was hit directly in the head by Lin Tianhao.
The puppet's skull immediately broke apart. Its body was also unable to withstand the impact, and it immediately collapsed. As it fell, an alarm was immediately released from its body.
As the alarm reverberated, the door to Wang Baole's cave abode instantly opened. His rotund body rushed out immediately, and he looked extremely upset as he rushed in front of the collapsed puppet.
”Xiao Qiang! What happened to you, Xiao Qiang? I have raised you like my very own all this time, don't die, Xiao Qiang!” Wang Baole grabbed and shook the puppet's broken body, looking extremely pained.
Lin Tianhao laughed coldly, and just as he was about the speak, the natural talent Chen Yutong who was standing beside him suddenly howled fiercely.
”Lin Tianhao, what did you do?”
Lin Tianhao was shocked frozen the moment he heard the words. When he turned, he saw Chen Yutong looking extremely angry, the look of coldness in his eyes obvious.
Chen Yutong was indeed truly furious. He had been in seclusion for a period of time, and when he finally emerged, his subordinate, knowing his preferences, mentioned a joke regarding Lin Tianhao to him, highlighting the presence of the three puppets.
Therefore, Chen Yutong was tempted as he thought of a trade with the Lower Academy Island through a merchant some time in the past, where he received a very special puppet. After researching it, he felt that the puppet was impressive, which made him want to pay a visit to see it with his own eyes.
Even though it was easy for him to find out who refined the puppet, the moment he saw the gestures that the three puppets were displaying toward Lin Tianhao, Chen Yutong instantly confirmed that the one who made the puppet was doubtlessly Wang Baole!
What made him most delighted was that Wang Baole's skills in puppet refinement had improved by leaps and bounds. He was delighted by them the moment he saw them, which made him think that Lin Tianhao's vicious attack on the puppet was cruel and extremely sinful, resulting in his rage toward Lin Tianhao.
”Lin Tianhao, how dare you hurt and damage such a valuable treasure? You've wrecked a gem!”
Lin Tianhao was dumbfounded and froze with shock as he was stared at and berated by Chen Yutong. Hearing Chen Yutong addressing the puppet as a gem made Lin Tianhao unconsciously look at the puppet that he had ruined, bewildered.
Even Wang Baole trembled. He forgot about the sadness that he was portraying and raised his head, staring at Chen Yutong in a daze, who was more furious than he was. He was incredulous as he suddenly thought of the prominent character on the Upper Academy Island whom Xie Haiyang had mentioned a while back.
This… could it be him? Wang Baole took a deep breath, his face displaying a look of confusion.
As Wang Baole and Lin Tianhao were reeling in surprise, Chen Yutong took a few quick steps forward toward Wang Baole. He first looked at the decommissioned puppet with a pained expression before sighing and patting Wang Baole on his shoulders.
”Junior Brother Wang, I am Chen Yutong. Ah, truth be told, I bought the puppet you made back then. I bear witness to whatever has happened today. Don't worry, I will stand up for you! Destroying the beloved Dharmic Artifact belonging to a fellow disciple is an unforgivable sin!” Chen Yutong spoke as he retrieved his jade slip and sent some voice transmission instructions before looking coldly at Lin Tianhao.
Wang Baole blinked several times. He felt that something interesting was happening, so he aborted his original plan and looked at Lin Tianhao as well.
