Chapter 124 — Chapter 124 Lowering Their Heads
5 min read ·
The disciples there immediately moved to make a path for Elder Yao, who approached Yuan’s living quarters with heavy steps.
"I have never seen Elder Yao so angry before! That Outer Court disciple is dead! He’s definitely going to regret acting all tough after meeting Elder Yao!"
The disciples there watched with anticipation as Elder Yao stepped on the doorstops in front of Yuan’s building.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Elder Yao knocked on the door with force before shouting in a vicious voice, "This is Elder Yao from the 3rd Disciplinary Squad! Get your ass out here right this instance and identify yourself, Outer Court disciple!"
The disciples standing not far away felt their hearts tremble after hearing Elder Yao’s loud voice, and even though they were not the ones in trouble, it still struck fear into their minds.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
"Get out here right this instance! Or do I have to force myself inside instead, Outer Court disciple?!" Elder Yao knocked on the door again when nobody answered the door after 5 short seconds.
After a few more seconds, the door finally opened, and Yuan appeared before them once again with a calm expression on his face.
"So you’re the Outer Court disciple who claimed that you belong in this area? If that’s the case, how come I don’t recognize your face at all, huh?" Elder Yan narrowed his eyes at Yuan’s face.
"Isn’t it normal that you won’t recognize everyone in the world?" Yuan asked with his eyebrows raised.
Elder Yao looked at him with a face of disbelief. "You actually dare talk back to me, a sect elder? Looks like Disciple Qiao was telling the truth when he called you a disrespectful little brat! Kneel before me right now and apologize!"
Yuan was speechless. He frowned a moment later and said, "Aren’t you here to see whether assigning this house to me is a mistake or not? Yet you started yelling at me the moment you arrived, acting like I am in the wrong. I respect my Seniors, but I also know an unreasonable person when I see one!"
"Y-You little brat! You really think you deserve to live here, huh?! You are just a nobody! A mere Outer Court disciple who’d just passed the disciple examination!"
Elder Yao roared at Yuan, and he continued, "And you dare to claim that you are worthy enough to live beside someone like the Young Lady of the Min Family?! Do you have no shame?! Even I wouldn’t dare to live beside the Min Family if you paid me!"
"If it wasn’t a mistake that you got assigned this building, I will freaking eat my shoes before every single Outer Court disciple in this sect!"
Hearing Elder Yao’s words, Yuan became speechless. Is this sect elder really going to eat his own shoes? He cannot imagine it.
"Since you don’t want to leave this place, I have no choice but to force you out with my authority as a sect elder of the Disciplinary Hall!"
And before Yuan could even respond, Elder Yao suddenly moved to grab him by the collar before throwing him into the air and forcing him out of the house.
"Whoa!"
Yuan landed a few meters away with a startled look on his face.
"Now hand me your identification token! Or do I have to take it with force as well?!" Elder Yao approached him with an overbearing and oppressing aura.
However, since Elder Yao was only a fourth level Spirit Warrior Cultivator, Yuan didn’t feel any pressure from him.
’Should I just use the Absolute Authority the Sect Master gave me to deal with this situation?’ Yuan pondered as Elder Yao got closer to him. After all, even a naive little boy would be able to tell by now that Elder Yao was not the reasonable type and that no matter what Yuan says to him at this point, he would only be wasting his breath.
’I wanted to settle this as peacefully as possible, but alas...’
Yuan sighed inwardly as he reached into his Spatial Ring for the Absolute Authority. However, before Yuan could even take it out, a loud sigh suddenly resounded and echoed in the area.
"I knew you would run into some trouble when I decided to give you one of the buildings in this place, but I didn’t think it’d come so soon and in such a manner, too." A calm voice followed after the sigh ended.
"T-This voice is..." Elder Yao immediately stopped walking after hearing this profound voice, and his body trembled in shock.
However, the other disciples did not recognize the identity behind this mysterious voice and were completely puzzled.
Meanwhile, inside one of the rooms in building #69, Fairy Min, who had been watching the situation from the beginning by peeking through the closed curtains from the windows, mumbled in a surprised voice, "This voice belongs to Grand Elder Xuan! Why did he show up here? And judging by his words, it seems like he was the one who allowed that Outer Court disciple to live here! Just who is that young man?!"
"Elder Yao, I am greatly disappointed by your performance today. As a sect elder of the Disciplinary Hall, I had expected you to handle this situation professionally and properly, yet you were blinded by anger and acted unfitting of your status, even treating my granddaughter’s friend in such an aggressive manner... I don’t know what I should do with you." Elder Xuan’s voice continued to speak, lecturing Elder Yao who was sweating profusely at this moment.
Elder Yao quickly kneeled on the ground and lowered his head before speaking in a pleading voice, "This disciple was wrong and has done something inexcusable! Please punish this disciple as you see fit, Grand Elder!"
"GRAND ELDER?!" The disciples watching the scene were greatly shocked after hearing Elder Yao’s voice, and they finally realized the identity behind the voice.
After realizing this fact, they also kneeled on the ground with their heads lowered and their backs soaked in cold sweats, wondering to themselves why the hell would a Grand Elder suddenly become involved with their situation!
