Chapter 922: Provocation
“Junior Brother Yan, you know that you are not young anymore, so why are you still so ignorant? These days, the sect master and several elders have gone into seclusion. My father is celebrating his 80th birthday and has no time to take care of other matters. Why did you leave Da He City and bring some irrelevant people back?” Yue Pingjian rebuked. He was clearly scolding Yan Rusong, but it was actually aimed at Ling Chuxi and the rest. ‘Sooner or later, I will find trouble with them so I don’t have to give them any respect. It’s better to just get rid of them today.’
“Senior Brother Yue, this is the Sect Master of the Golden Pill Sect and Elder Su. They are here specifically to visit Lord Sect Master.” Although Yan Rusong was dissatisfied with Yue Pingjian’s attitude, it was not good to stand up to him, so he stifled his anger.
“Wasn’t the Golden Pill Sect annihilated thousands of years ago? There is no such thing as their sect master and elder, Junior Brother Yan, don’t be deceived by people with ulterior motives,” Yue Pingjian said sarcastically.
“Senior Brother Yue, they really are the sect master and elder of the Golden Pill Sect. They came to visit to invite Lord Sect Master to participate in the opening ceremony of the Golden Pill Sect.” Yan Rusong was so agitated that his face turned red, but he forced himself to suppress his anger.
Ling Chuxi saved his life, so of course he was grateful. He admired Ling Chuxi’s strength at such a young age and wanted to make friends with her, so he personally led them back to the Flowing Clouds Sect. However, he did not expect to be ridiculed by Yue Pingjian as soon as he came back. It was fine for him to lose some dignity, but he felt extremely uncomfortable hearing what Yue Pingjian was saying about Ling Chuxi and the rest.
“Forget it; whether they are real or fake, they are just a small sect. The Lord Sect Master is currently in seclusion, so don’t bother the old man and take them away,” Yue Pingjian said impatiently.
“Senior Brother Yue, in Da He City just now, it was thanks to Sect Master Ling and the others that I could return safely,” Yan Rusong gritted his teeth and said calmly, resisting the urge to go against him.
“In that case, I would like to thank all of you.” Yue Pingjian casually cupped his fist to his palm at Ling Chuxi and the others. “Well, I have already thanked you all, so you guys may leave.” His tone was incredibly curt.
“Senior Brother Yue, what exactly are you trying to say?” Yan Rusong finally burst out, his face red with anger. Although he respected Yue Pingjian, it was only because of his status as a disciple descendant of a prestigious family in the sect. He was not actually afraid of him.
Ling Chuxi also noticed that Yue Pingjian’s attitude seemed to be not only directed at Yan Rusong, but at herself and the rest. It was odd because she had never offended him and hadn’t even seen him before. Ling Chuxi casually glanced at the people behind him, who seemed to be a little familiar. There was also one person hiding at the back, but she couldn’t see who it was.
Ling Chuxi would normally have walked away and come back later, but this time, she did not. The Flowing Clouds Sect was her elder brother’s sect, and if she was driven away like this, wouldn’t she damage her elder brother’s reputation? What’s more, this trip was related to the opening ceremony of the Golden Pill Sect. She had the expectations and hopes of everyone in the Su family riding on her, so how could she act impulsively?
“Yan Rusong, what I mean is that the Flowing Clouds Sect does not welcome them. Lead them away and do not cause any trouble for yourself!” Yue Pingjian growled, no longer giving Yan Rusong respect.
