Chapter 70 - Quandary
Zhang Song was also startled by the sudden appearance of the man, but he was not as relaxed as Wang Hao, who continued to send punches towards the man.
Fortunately, the person who came was an Innate Ranker. Zhang Song's fist force was not worth much in front of him.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The formless First Sky Wall blocked all of the fist power.
"Deacon Yang!"
Li Yuan was the first one to see the person who came over, and respectfully shouted.
"Deacon Yang!"
Bai Ruoxi's face changed, and shouted.
When Zhang Song saw that it was Deacon Yang, he was not worried at all about the offense he had just committed. Instead, he was overjoyed and complained, "Deacon Yang, this brat beat up a fellow disciple with extremely cruel and cruel methods.
"Young Master Li, Miss Bai!"
Deacon Yang looked like a middle-aged man with a composed demeanor. He first nodded and greeted Li Yuan and Bai Ruoxi.
Then, he waved his hand towards Zhang Song and said, "Don't be impatient, Young Master Zhang.
Wang Hao became fully on guard. The Deacon Yang in front of him, could not even be compared to the Manager Feng that had just entered the sect. From the looks of it, he was at least on the same level as Wang Liancheng.
Wang Hao admitted that he could not take on, but seeing Zhang Song's delighted expression, Wang Hao's heart skipped a beat, thinking that this Deacon Yang would most likely side with Zhang Song and make a move against him.
After all, he had just entered the, and his background was unclear. Compared to Zhang Song, it was highly unlikely that the Deacon Yang would support him.
"You are the newly initiated Wang Hao?"
Deacon Yang asked, his expression and tone were not friendly, it was as though he was pressuring others with his power.
"That's right, to have disturbed Deacon Yang, I hope that Deacon Yang does not mind!"
Wang Hao cupped his fists respectfully.
Deacon Yang nodded, he looked at the five people lying on the ground and realized that four of them had one leg that was twisted in an unreasonable way.
His face immediately darkened as he coldly said, "Such a young age, yet only possessing such good talent and yet not thinking of making progress, and instead relying on your strength to harm others from the same sect. Wang Hao, what crime should you take?"
Hearing that, Zhang Song, who was wiping his face behind Deacon Yang, instantly revealed a complacent smile, and looked at Wang Hao, taking joy in his misfortune.
After Wang Hao finished listening, his eyebrows knitted together slightly. It seemed that this Deacon Yang truly wanted to side with Zhang Song. He had only asked once, yet he was already anxious to find an excuse to convict him.
"Deacon Yang, fighting is not forbidden between fellow disciples, furthermore, they are bullying others using their strength to provoke me. If not for my strength, I would be the one lying on the ground right now! Since you are being so arbitrary, I would like to ask, what crime have I committed? "
How could Wang Hao be scared? He immediately tried to defend himself in a neutral tone.
"Wang Hao, you said that we were bullying others, but the result is, all five of them were heavily injured, and even this young master was momentarily injured by you.
Zhang Song anxiously pointed to the five people on the ground, then pointed to his own injuries, and asked while adding fuel to the fire.
Wang Hao laughed coldly, "Zhang Song, your ability to spout nonsense and invert right and wrong is much stronger than your own strength. Unfortunately, so many people present saw it all with their own eyes, so they decided who's right and who's wrong."
"Deacon Yang, you can ask the others."
Wang Hao taunted Zhang Song, then said to the Deacon Yang.
Deacon Yang had originally thought that Wang Hao was still young and could be settled with just a few words of scaring. He hadn't thought that he would be questioned in return and felt embarrassed.
Then he shifted his gaze, scanning the surroundings, and coldly asked, "Who is willing to tell this deacon about this matter?"
Upon seeing this, the surrounding crowd immediately retreated a few steps. Their gazes shifted but they didn't dare to look in that direction, needless to say, open their mouths.
This slightly surprised Wang Hao. He did not expect that the prestige of the outer sect of the Deacon Yang would be so high that it would scare away so many people present with just a single glance.
Of course, Wang Hao understood that there were also some reasons why no one dared to offend Zhang Song.
However, fortunately Bai Ruoxi did not sit around and do nothing, and helped Wang Hao defend herself, "Deacon Yang, this matter arose because of me, and it was indeed junior brother Wang that Zhang Song and the others provoked first. I hope that Deacon Yang does not make things difficult for junior brother Wang."
"Deacon Yang, this is just a small misunderstanding between Young Master Zhang and Young Master Wang, you just need to let them go."
Li Yuan said indifferently, as if he was slightly dissatisfied with the Deacon Yang favoring Zhang Song.
Hearing the two's words, Deacon Yang's heart immediately went cold. Something's not right!
The development of the situation was once again out of his expectations. Both Li Yuan and Bai Ruoxi were actually protecting Wang Hao, so no matter what, aiding any of them would offend any single one of them.
Furthermore, they were all people that he could not afford to offend.
"Damn, I knew I wouldn't show my face!"
Deacon Yang was immediately filled with regret. He had just passed by and noticed that there were a lot of people gathered here, so he came over to take a look, only to discover that Zhang Song and one of them was fighting. That person's aura was at the level of Qi Disciple Nine.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Song was not able to defeat the other party. Thinking of Zhang Song's background, Deacon Yang immediately felt that this was a rare opportunity to please.
When he reached the inner sect, any newly advanced Xiantian first stage disciple would have a higher status than him. If he did not take the opportunity to curry favor with some of the more powerful upper class disciples, don't even mention being promoted, he might not even be able to become a External Deacon for as long as he wants.
The change of External Deacon and stewards was basically a matter of a few words from the higher ups of the inner sect. If any of the elders wanted to arrange for their own people to come in, they would have to kick one of them away.
Kick who? Of course, they were the most eyesore, or perhaps the weakest in terms of relationships.
Therefore, as a External Deacon, if one wanted to keep their position, not only could they not offend the disciples who had high backgrounds in the Villa, but they had to do their best to build a good relationship with them.
One had to know that the position of Crouching Dragon Villa's steward was something that many people were jealous of. The various big families wanted to arrange for someone to come in and build a good relationship with the Innate Rankers and the higher-ups of the Villa.
"Deacon Yang, seeing is believing, my five brothers are all lying on the ground with heavy injuries, you must definitely punish Wang Hao severely."
When Zhang Song saw Li Yuan and Bai Ruoxi opening his mouth, he immediately rushed to Deacon Yang to pressure them.
"Young Master Zhang, this …"
Deacon Yang was in a dilemma, he did not know what to do.
The right and wrong of the matter was no longer important. The key question was how he would handle it, if he did not offend Zhang Song, and if he did not offend Li Yuan, then, he would not blame Bai Ruoxi.
And Wang Hao, Li Yuan's name made the Deacon Yang remember that there seemed to be a senior at the Golden Core Stage behind Wang Hao as well.
One on three, seemed to be a good choice, but Deacon Yang was very clear on Zhang Song's character, since he had appeared, if he was unable to do anything to satisfy Zhang Song, then what would be waiting for him, could be easily imagined.
Seeing Deacon Yang in such a difficult situation, Wang Hao felt it was extremely funny.
In front of ordinary disciples, they were all high and mighty External Deacon, Innate Rankers were not allowed to trespass, but once they met someone with a background, they would be instantly disregarded and could be ordered around by others.
And like this, since both parties had backgrounds, he was even less like a human on the inside.
"Deacon Yang, as Senior Brother Li has said, this is a private matter between Young Master Zhang and I. It's best that you do not interfere!"
