Chapter 873: An Extraordinary Shamelessness
The Duan brothers would naturally follow Ling Chuxi, thanks to Duan Xiaomo. Although Duan Xiaomo’s situation had improved a lot, Duan Feiyu was still a little worried, and only by following Ling Chuxi could he feel less anxious about his brother.
Everything was prepared, and they were only waiting for Jiang Wuhen and the rest to return from buying the gifts. After that, they would be able to set out right away.
Knowing that the sect opening grand ceremony would be held soon, the whole Golden Pill Sect was filled with a celebratory atmosphere.
In the courtyard, while waiting for Jiang Wuhen and the rest to return, Ling Chuxi and Su Yizhi were listening to Duan Feiyu’s explanation of the major sects. The Su family had only just returned to the Sacred Realm of Sects, so they didn’t understand much about the sects. Duan Feiyu, on the other hand, was the legitimate descendant of a sect, and thus was more familiar with the various great sects.
“Grandfather!” Su Xiu’er’s anxious voice suddenly came from outside the door.
“Ah, Xiu’er is back. The little girl is all grown up yet she’s still so impatient,” Su Yizhi stood up and said with a smile.
Soon, Su Xiu’er and several Su family disciples rushed into the yard, looking worried.
Su Yizhi saw a few people carrying backpacks, and expected that they would return with a full load. However, upon realizing that Jiang Wuhen was missing, he asked curiously, “Have you bought all the gifts? Where’s Wuhen?”
“We left Wu Cang City as soon as we were done with the auction, but we didn’t expect to be followed. When we arrived at the foot of the sect’s mountain just now, Jiang Wuhen asked us to return with the gifts while he stayed behind to throw them off our trail.” Su Xiu’er’s voice was trembling, and her eyes were wide with concern and fear.
“How’s the situation now?” Ling Chuxi and the rest stood up quickly. They had been followed as soon as they left the auction, so it was clear that the other party was after the auction items.
“We rushed back to report the matter, so we don’t know what the current situation is. We only saw that they had started fighting. That person’s cultivation is quite strong, so Jiang Wuhen might not be able to defeat him,” Su Xiu’er said softly, tears glistening in her eyes.
“Let’s go and back him up,” Ling Chuxi declared and rushed out, Su Yizhi and the rest following closely behind her. If the other party dared to make a move, they would show them just how strong their cultivation was. Since Jiang Wuhen had stayed behind alone to divert them, there was a good chance it would end badly, so they rushed to his aid.
“Elder Su, where are you guys going in such a hurry?” As soon as they left the yard, they saw Lu Chengfeng approaching.
The last time Lu Chengfeng had messed with Ling Chuxi, he had been bashed up by Duan Xiaomo. Even though he was a descendant of the former number one expert of the Sacred Realm of Sects, and the successor of the special guest elders of the Celestial Sect, he had been beaten up terribly by a child. He had actually even fainted on the spot from shame and anger.
After waking up, he had felt so ashamed that he wanted to leave the Golden Pill Sect immediately, but the anger in his heart made him fall sick to a point where he couldn’t even get out of bed. He had only recovered a few days back, and he looked a lot thinner than before.
After a few days of illness, the old man had done some thinking. Since he was from the Celestial Sect, and Duan Xiaomo was the legitimate second young master of the sect, it could be surmised that he was so talented that Duan Qingchen had high hopes for him. Thus, being defeated by a child shouldn’t be considered shameful.
One had to admit that the old man’s psychological endurance was quite amazing. After he thought things through, he became extremely proud, not bringing up the matter of his own beating but constantly mentioning Duan Xiaomo’s incredible talent in front of everyone. At the same time, he also took the opportunity to boast: “If I had not risked my life to deliver those Ink Jade Crystals to Xiaomo, would he have improved this much? Could he have his current cultivation? In the future, my Celestial Sect will develop and grow at the hands of Xiaomo, which is at least due to my contribution, hahaha…” The arrogant man exaggerated again. Such a shameless person only served to continuously annoy others.
