Chapter 325: Intimate Master and Disciple
In fact, many people have noticed that Yu Shi often stares at Jiang Chen with an inexplicable expression.
Initially, everyone thought that Yu Shi simply disliked Jiang Chen.
But now, reminded by Shi Ning, they realized...
Perhaps there really was an ulterior motive!
After all, although Jiang Chen was bad, he was elegant and handsome.
It was only logical for that disgusting pervert Yu Shi to target him!
Even Elder Zheng accepted this explanation, frowning deeply.
Even so, Jiang Chen and Mu Kui’s brazen actions still showed a lack of respect for him.
“Even so, there is still guilt!” Elder Zheng said coldly.
Hearing this, many people showed dissatisfaction.
Shi Ning, the elders of the Ancient Pill Tower, and the people of the Jiuyan Sect glared angrily.
Jiang Chen felt a headache.
His original plan was to have Mu Kui strike first, then under the guise of rescuing, give Yu Shi a good beating.
If Elder Zheng pursued the matter, it would be Mu Kui’s responsibility, as he had been ‘rescuing’ from start to finish, what crime could there be?
As for what punishment Mu Kui would face, Jiang Chen was not worried.
After all, this guy was the reincarnation of a Martial Emperor, and although his current cultivation wasn’t very high, it would not be difficult if he really wanted to escape.
But unexpectedly... with Shi Ning’s various assumptions, the situation turned into Yu Shi having designs on him!
Mu Kui couldn’t stand it, so he took action!
Although the result was similar, it still felt off-putting.
Just as Jiang Chen was considering whether to be more straightforward and take a harder stance, Shi Ning and the elders of the Ancient Pill Tower exchanged glances, then simultaneously leaped from their seats.
They landed next to Yu Shi, who was on the ground.
Without any hesitation, they rolled up their sleeves and began a round of punching and kicking, beating Yu Shi so badly that he cried out in agony and wailing non-stop.
Clearly, they wanted to show Elder Zheng that if he wanted to punish someone, then he would have to punish them all!
Seeing this, Jiang Chen saw an opportunity and kicked Yu Shi a couple of times...
Already injured, Yu Shi couldn’t withstand being beaten by so many people and once again sought help from Elder Zheng.
Elder Zheng was furious, but before he could scold them, Sect Master Gu Changqing of the Jiuyan Sect, along with several Peak Masters and many disciples, also leaped up, lined up on the pill platform, and took turns beating Yu Shi.
Jiang Chen also went up and kicked him a couple more times...
Nangong Jiuxi found the situation amusing and joined in the beating.
The Sect Master of the Myriad Dao Sect, worried about Nangong Jiuxi being held accountable, followed the principle that the law does not punish the masses and led his disciples to join the fray.
The actions of the Myriad Dao Demon Sect inspired other sects to consider joining in.
Yu Shi was so disgusting, not kicking him would seem like they weren’t showing enough disdain!
With that thought, more sects joined in.
In an instant, the entire pill conference descended into chaos.
Amidst the sounds of punching and kicking, Yu Shi’s continuous wails could be heard.
Besides the pill platform, Qingning and Xiaobai had already started digging a hole...
Throughout this, Jiang Chen had been busy.
In order to increase his villain points, he had been meticulously targeting Yu Shi’s weak spots with exceptionally heavy blows! Finally,
【Host’s actions conform to the villain’s character setting, reward: promoted to a seventh-grade pill refiner】
“Phew.”
Jiang Chen let out a long sigh of relief.
At this moment, Yu Shi felt like he was on the verge of death.
Initially, he could cry out for help, but as time passed, even his screams became fainter.
Finally...
“How dare you!!”
Elder Zheng bellowed in anger, his aura of the late Fate Transformation stage causing even the air to tremble.
He was uncontrollably furious!
These madmen completely disregarded him, treating him as if he were thin air!
If he didn’t severely punish them now, where would his face go?
What about the dignity of the Imperial Pavilion and the Imperial Dynasty?
Despite the many madmen present, many of whom had cultivation levels comparable to his, he only needed to send a message to the Imperial Pavilion, and powerful reinforcements would arrive to suppress everyone.
Perhaps sensing Elder Zheng’s rage, the madmen collectively ceased their actions, turning around to glare at him with eyes brimming with hostility.
“Gulp...”
Feeling the intense gaze of so many madmen, even Elder Zheng couldn’t help but get goosebumps.
He suddenly realized a problem.
The Imperial Pavilion’s reinforcements would indeed arrive quickly, but could they get here faster than this group of madmen could tear him to shreds?
He didn’t want to die alongside these lunatics!
Besides, what was the point of arguing with a bunch of madmen?
And why should he risk his life over that perverted bastard Yu Shi?
After an internal struggle, Elder Zheng said, softening his tone.
“Since you’ve had your fun, return to your seats.”
Seeing the madmen looking at him with strange gazes, he gently flicked his sleeve, using his spiritual energy to form a hand and viciously slapped Yu Shi’s face.
“To be honest, I also find Yu Shi quite displeasing,” he added.
Jiang Chen nodded and returned to his original seat.
Seeing this, the others also gradually moved away from Yu Shi and returned to their seats.
Realizing that the situation was out of control and considering his own safety, Elder Zheng decided, “Quickly tend to Elder Yu’s injuries, and this Alchemy Conference is canceled!”
With that, he prepared to leave.
Only a fool would stay here and play with a bunch of madmen!
“No... impossible!”
But just as he took a step, Yu Shi staggered to his feet, swaying as he said, “I, I’m fine! The conference can proceed as normal!”
He’s fine?
Elder Zheng was dumbfounded.
After all, Yu Shi was now covered in blood, his face swollen and bruised, his breath weak—it wouldn’t be surprising if he dropped dead on the spot!
Yet under such circumstances, Yu Shi claimed he was fine and insisted the conference continue?
After a moment’s thought, Elder Zheng understood.
Yu Shi didn’t want to give up the stage prepared for Lin Feng.
Everyone knew this, but they just didn’t want to say it out loud.
However, no one expected Yu Shi to be so ‘devoted’ to Lin Feng!
It was sickening!
Reluctantly, Elder Zheng sat down again and urged, “Where’s Lin Feng? Have him come quickly for the third trial!”
Upon hearing this, several disciples of the Ancient Pill Tower hurriedly turned and left to summon Lin Feng.
Shortly after, Lin Feng appeared on the pill platform.
He had been in seclusion and was completely unaware of what had happened outside.
After traveling through the Jiuyan Sect and the Buddha Temple, it was only from Yu Shi that Lin Feng felt the bond of master and disciple and understood what ‘true affection exists in the world’ meant!
Seeing his master in such a state, Lin Feng felt a surge of anger rush to his head, his body trembling with rage!
“Master, who has injured you like this?” Suppressing his anger, Lin Feng approached Yu Shi.
He wanted to help and heal Yu Shi.
Seeing his disciple, Yu Shi was also overcome with emotion, feeling an urge to embrace and cry together.
But sensing the odd looks around him, Yu Shi had to restrain his impulse, raising his hand to stop Lin Feng, “Don’t come over and keep your distance!”
“????”
Lin Feng was puzzled.
He was stunned and felt uncomfortable.
In the past, Yu Shi would pat his shoulder upon seeing him.
When Lin Feng faced difficulties, Yu Shi would firmly hold his hand to comfort him.
But now, Yu Shi was asking him to keep his distance!
“Master, why are you acting like this? Look closely, I am Lin Feng! Aren’t we the closest of master and disciple?” Lin Feng asked loudly, confused.
As soon as these words were spoken, a brief moment of shock was followed by whispers among the spectators:
“These two master and disciple are indeed very close...”
“So close that they’re at zero distance!”
“I used to think Lin Feng was decent, but who knew he had such inclinations!”
“This just shows you can know someone’s face but not their heart.”
“Ah, these two have really opened my eyes today...”
“Now I understand why Lin Feng became the top true disciple of the Ancient Pill Tower. Turns out he took the back door, figuratively and literally speaking!”
“Such profound words!”
“...”
