857 Making a Fuss
“Hmph… Young man, don’t be too arrogant! Although I’m only an Elder of a faction, I’ve done my best for the Heaven Mending holy land for so many years.
“These juniors were greedy and liked to be in the limelight. For the sake of their future, I had no choice but to extinguish her limelight to prevent her from going astray and losing her conscience.
“Although young people are talented, they don’t know how to hide their strength. As the saying goes, the winds howl around the highest peaks. This is not a good thing. In the end, you should thank me. If I hadn’t taken action, I really don’t know how much trouble she would have caused.”
No matter what, Daoist Tianfeng was an old monster who had lived for tens of thousands of years. How could he let Ye Qiu suppress him? With just a few words, he molded himself into a respected great man.
!!
At that moment, it was as if his body had light.
Ye Qiu secretly sucked in a breath of cold air. Not only was this old thing not stupid, but he was also very smart.
“Haha, then I’ll thank Senior! If there’s a chance, I’ll think about your disciple’s future. After all, I, Ye Qiu, am very willing to help others. As the saying goes, it’s impolite not to reciprocate. Although the courtesy is light, our friendship is definitely very good.”
Daoist Tianfeng’s killing intent instantly soared when he saw Ye Qiu’s faint smile.
“Good kid! He’s quite scheming.” He was secretly shocked. He originally thought that with Ye Qiu’s young personality, he should be able to stop. He did not expect him to change his attack. His adaptability shocked him.
It was no wonder that he was so famous at such a young age. Clearly, his reputation was not in vain.
“It’s impolite not to reciprocate. Is this a declaration of war?”
Daoist Tianfeng fell into deep thought when he saw Ye Qiu’s faint smile. For a moment, he couldn’t see through this young man’s thoughts. Such scheming. Even his favorite head disciple had never made him feel so stunned.
Clearly, Ye Qiu’s performance had broken some of his previous opinions of young people.
“Haha… There’s no need! Although young people are quite strong, they’re still too young. As the saying goes, the wind will destroy the tallest tree in the forest. I think the most important thing for you before this was to settle down. You can’t do that stupid thing and go astray.”
This was a threat and a warning.
Ye Qiu could hear the killing intent in Daoist Tianfeng’s words. Clearly, he was furious. However, in front of Meng Tianzheng, he didn’t dare to be too impudent. These simple words were a warning to Ye Qiu.
However, Ye Qiu didn’t care.
On the contrary, he was very excited. At the very least, he could tell that the Heavenly Dao lineage was still very important to Daoist Tianfeng.
Since he knew what he cared about, the rest would be easy. Wasn’t the Heaven Mending Assembly about to begin? There should be a good show.
“Then thank you for your reminder, Senior. I will definitely… definitely consider it carefully. However, I have a habit, or rather, a little rebellion. People don’t like what I do, but I insist on doing it. This is very difficult. After so many years, I’ve always wanted to change, but I can’t.
“Sigh… If I accidentally offend Senior, I hope Senior won’t argue with a junior like me. After all, that’s all rumors. Senior has always been a respected senior. How can you argue with us juniors?”
Checkmate!
As soon as these words were spoken, even the silent Meng Tianzheng was shocked.
Good kid, you’ve shown off this time.
He acknowledged Daoist Tianfeng’s image and openly took over his words before returning them to him. He directly blocked the topic. Aren’t you, Daoist Tianfeng, a respected senior? In that case, you can’t attack in the spar between the juniors, right?
“You!” Daoist Tianfeng was instantly rendered speechless, not knowing how to refute.
Ye Qiu had already said this. He understood that he wanted to attack the Heavenly Dao. Moreover, before declaring war, he even placed a huge hat on Daoist Tianfeng and trapped him. This also meant that the following dispute had nothing to do with him. If his disciple could not defeat Violet Cloud, he could only suffer in silence.
After all, he was a respected senior. If he couldn’t afford to lose, wouldn’t he be destroying his image in front of his fellow disciples?
“Pfft,” In just a few seconds, this dramatic change even shocked Lian Feng, who was beside Ye Qiu. After a short silence, she couldn’t help but laugh when she saw Daoist Tianfeng’s expression.
Interesting. Then should they consider how to release Daoist Tianfeng’s blood in this grand meeting? Clearly, the conflict between Violet Cloud and the Heavenly Dao had already been made public. Almost everyone knew about this and was waiting to watch a good show.
“Hmph… Young man, don’t be too impudent.”
“If I’m not impudent, then am I still a young man?” Ye Qiu teased. This battle had already ended and the outcome had been decided. He was very relaxed now. On the contrary, Daoist Tianfeng was exasperated.
“It’s a good thing for young people to be confident, but excessive confidence is conceit. Conceited people often don’t end well.”
“Then there’s no need to worry, Senior. I know what I’m doing.” Ye Qiu continued to tease. Seeing this, Meng Tianzheng, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.
If he still didn’t speak, it would be difficult to guarantee that Daoist Tianfeng wouldn’t attack in exasperation. At that time, it would be even more difficult to clean up the mess.
“Alright. Let’s end it here.”
After interrupting the topic, Meng Tianzheng looked at Lian Feng, his eyes filled with disappointment. In his heart, Lian Feng was the person with the highest chance of inheriting the position of Goddess and the person he valued the most.
This was because Lian Feng had the Heaven Mending merit, something that the other successors did not have.
If she was willing to fight, with her talent and strength, she would definitely be able to suppress the crowd and win in one go. However, the problem was that Meng Tianzheng never thought that after preparing and waiting for so many years,
the disciple with the highest chance of inheriting the Goddess actually took the initiative to give up this Goddess Position.
This was an incomparably heavy blow to Meng Tianzheng because he didn’t have much time left.
If Lian Feng gave up and the other successors could not pass the final test, all his efforts would be wasted.
This was too cruel to him. It was as if he had aged a lot in an instant.
No one knew how high the Heaven Mending Goddess’s status in his heart was, nor did anyone know how many years he had planned for this faith. Seeing that the Goddess was about to return to the mortal world and his wish was about to be fulfilled, he was also about to embark on a new journey.
Unexpectedly, Lian Feng brought such news today, as if she had crushed his last straw to clutch at.
He was very sad.
However, he saw another bright path in Lian Feng’s eyes. It was a path that belonged to her alone.
He could not convince himself to force Lian Feng to accept the inheritance because once he did that, he would destroy her and deny all her previous efforts.
