“Well, well! I’ve lived so many years, and I’ve never seen such an audacious young man, my horizons are truly broadened today.” Master Qi sneered, his cold eyes locked firmly on Fang Lin.
Elder Su gave Fang Lin’s shoulder a pat and said, “You can leave first.”
Fang Lin gave a fist salute to Elder Su and then completely ignored the enraged Master Qi and his two disciples, striding out of there casually.
Master Qi’s face darkened, Elder Su was still smiling as if nothing had happened just now.
Master Qi’s two disciples, however, were extremely infuriated, they exchanged a glance, and then the bulky Zhang Tiande also made his exit.
Back in the hall, Fang Lin saw the Zhong siblings had already received their number.
These numbers signified their identities for the public assessment in the afternoon, and the siblings seemed extremely pleased with their acquired numbers.
Fang Lin approached and gave the pendant back to Zhong Haoran, saying, “Since it’s your family heirloom, save it well.”
The Zhong siblings both expressed their deep gratitude to Fang Lin.
Fang Lin sat down, still feeling somewhat disgruntled, once he saw Zhang Tiande also step out, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.
After stepping out, Zhang Tiande was looking around, and he quickly found Fang Lin. A cold smirk crossed his lips as he walked straight over.
“Fang Lin, you still haven’t knelt down and apologized yet, we brothers won’t let this matter go easily,” Zhang Tiande, standing over Fang Lin, said arrogantly.
His voice was loud, many people in the hall heard it, and they all turned to look in surprise, not quite understanding what was happening.
But the name ‘Fang Lin’ was indeed very familiar in the Pill Alliance. After all, he was the one who passed the assessment with the highest score, the number one young talent among pill refiners in Qian Country, and someone was demanding him to kneel down and apologize?
Many people watched on coldly, and even more showed dissatisfaction towards Zhang Tiande, feeling that he was going too far. After all, Fang Lin was a pill refiner of their Qian Country’s Pill Alliance. Making him kneel down and apologize was like slapping their faces, wasn’t it?
Although most people present had nothing to do with Fang Lin, they were all citizens of Qian Country. Seeing someone making trouble now, they naturally harbored some resentment.
Fang Lin impatiently looked at Zhang Tiande and said: “Aren’t you tired of this yet? You think you’re really something, don’t you? Just because you’ve had the privilege of worshipping a somewhat prestigious master? Without your master, who the hell do you think you are, barking in front of me? Thinking you’re somebody important?”
Zhang Tiande was taken aback. Those in the audience who laughed were many, and even more felt happy inside. Fang Lin voiced what they had wanted to say all along.
That’s right, many people here greatly disliked Master Qi’s two disciples. Yes, you’re Master Qi’s disciples, but who do you think you’re showing off for when you come swaggering about?
Fang Lin’s words were exactly what the people wanted to hear. They couldn’t help but cheer for him.
Zhang Tiande was so angry, Fang Lin’s words completely punctured his self-esteem, his face felt painfully hot.
“You’re courting death!” Out of anger, Zhang Tiande lost his mind, and without thinking, he threw a punch at Fang Lin.
Fang Lin smirked inwardly, waiting exactly for Zhang Tiande’s impulsiveness.
Just then, Fang Lin did not resist, and took Zhang Tiande’s punch squarely to the chest.
“Ah!” Fang Lin let out a feigned cry, and collapsed onto the ground.
At this, the pill refiners in the hall were all inflamed with anger.
“What are you doing?”
“This is too much!”
“Beyond outrageous!”
A group of pill refiners surrounded Zhang Tiande, all pointing and yelling at him furiously.
“What are you all trying to do? Do you know who I am?” Zhang Tiande was totally unafraid, but instead glared at everyone and shouted.
People were even more provoked by Zhang Tiande’s attitude, they had seen arrogance, but they had never seen such audacity. Who exactly did he think he was?
“Beat him up!” Amid the chaos, someone shouted, and then a punch was viciously planted in Zhang Tiande’s stomach.
Following this, others also rushed up, yelling and ganging up on Zhang Tiande.
Once someone took the lead, others joined in naturally. Zhang Tiande, albeit strong, was quickly held down by the crowd and began to roll around clutching his head.
Moreover, that punch from nowhere hit him really hard, as if it had displaced his organs.
This time, Zhang Tiande was in real trouble.
Everyone just piled on him without concern for any limits, because Zhang Tiande had provoked the crowd.
Even several stewards of the Pill Alliance joined in, totally disregarding who Zhang Tiande’s master was.
Since everyone had taken action, not doing something would seem rather unfair to themselves.
Moreover, even if anything went wrong, they wouldn’t punish so many people.
Zhang Tiande was completely bewildered, how did things turn out this way? Were these people all mad, daring to beat him despite knowing who he was?
Unfortunately, Zhang Tiande did not know what “restraint” meant, or else he wouldn’t be in such a predicament.
All the commotion quickly disturbed the people inside, Elder Su and Master Qi both appeared immediately, and were shocked by the scene they saw.
Fang Lin was lying to one side as if injured, while a whole bunch of pill refiners from the Pill Alliance were beating up Zhang Tiande who was already powerless to fight back.
The look on Elder Su’s face was priceless. He wanted to laugh but couldn’t, what with Master Qi’s presence, so he held it back.
Master Qi, on the other hand, was totally different. His face changed to a ghastly white, he was trembling all over, clearly agitated beyond calmness.
Sun Kai was also dumbfounded, what just happened? How come his junior disciple got beaten up by everyone just moments after stepping out?
“Alright, alright, everyone stop. Let’s not take this any further.” Elder Su spoke up in time, considering if they kept beating Zhang Tiande like this, he could be beaten to death, and that would cause something seriously troublesome.
Everyone scattered at once, leaving Zhang Tiande on the ground, howling miserably.
Sun Kai went over quickly and saw Zhang Tiande’s unsightly state. His face was so bruised and beaten it was unbearable to look at. Even if Zhang Tiande’s mother were there, she wouldn’t recognize him.
“Elder Su!!! You must explain this!” Master Qi, who for the first time was unable to remain calm, shouted, pointing his finger at Elder Su.
Elder Su was still all smiles: “Of course, I will explain to Master Qi. Master Qi’s high disciple has committed unacceptable acts, caused mob wrath, and I have no hard feelings about this matter. Master Qi, you can rest assured.”
Master Qi was on the verge of collapsing, his vision was starting to blur. This was the first time he had met someone shamelessly outrageous to this extent.
