Chapter 10

Lu Shaoqing was waiting for the dishes to be served with Xiao Yi.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Before Lu Shaoqing could say anything, the door outside opened.

Xie Chong entered first.

"Senior Brother Lu, I am—"

Lu Shaoqing frowned and issued a blunt order, "Get out."

Xie Chong's forced smile froze.

A surge of anger rose in his heart.

Do you think you're Ji Yan?

If you were Ji Yan, I would leave without a word.

But you, a good-for-nothing, dare to act like this?

You only have your master and senior brother backing you, what are you, anyway?

Zhang Zheng and Wu Tianzong, who followed behind, entered with smug smiles on their faces.

Wu Tianzong said, "It seems Senior Brother Lu is quite arrogant."

"He doesn't even take Brother Xie seriously."

Zhang Zheng added, "Could it be that with Senior Brother Ji Yan as your backing, you can look down on others?"

Lu Shaoqing's frown deepened.

He was annoyed.

Even a meal can't be enjoyed without being disturbed?

Lu Shaoqing said, "What's the matter? I have my senior brother backing me, are you不服 (unconvinced)?"

"Which peak are you from? I'll have my senior brother visit your place."

Damn, how shameless.

He actually has no sense of shame at all.

He openly admits that Ji Yan is his backing.

Lu Shaoqing's words left Xie Chong, Zhang Zheng, and even Xiao Yi speechless.

Second Senior Brother, you seem a bit shameless.

Zhang Zheng said, "I am not a disciple of the Lingxiao Sect, I am a disciple of the Guiyuan Pavilion."

Lu Shaoqing was even more irritated, "Not a disciple of the Lingxiao Sect, and you dare to disturb me?"

"Also, what are you people from the Guiyuan Pavilion doing here? Causing trouble?"

"Do you really think our Lingxiao Sect is easy to bully?"

"Do you believe that with one signal, I can call all the disciples of the Lingxiao Sect to deal with you?"

Do you think you're Ji Yan?

Even Ji Yan doesn't have that kind of power, right?

Maybe the sect leader of the Lingxiao Sect does.

Zhang Zheng and Wu Tianzong were speechless.

This guy is really shameless.

He uses Ji Yan to intimidate people from his own sect, and directly uses the Lingxiao Sect to intimidate people from other sects.

Are you even a man?

Zhang Jin's sneer grew even more intense.

So, you're just a useless person who relies on others to back you up.

In the cultivation world, it's all about strength.

If your own strength is lacking, no matter how powerful your backing is, others will look down on you.

Wu Tianzong said, "Senior Brother Lu, your words are a bit too much."

"We came here with the intention of making friends, Senior Brother Lu, this is not how you treat guests."

"Is this how the Lingxiao Sect treats guests?"

Wu Tianzong wanted to bring up the Lingxiao Sect. If you don't have a sense of shame, the Lingxiao Sect should, right?

You should at least help the Lingxiao Sect save face, right?

But to his surprise, Lu Shaoqing nodded and admitted it, "That's right, the Lingxiao Sect treats guests like this."

"Unconvinced? It doesn't matter if you are."

How shameless.

Everyone present was speechless.

Wu Tianzong was about to lose it.

This guy can't be a disciple of the Lingxiao Sect, he must not be.

How could the Lingxiao Sect have such a disciple?

Not only does he not defend the Lingxiao Sect, but he also tarnishes its reputation.

Does your master know?

Does your sect leader know?

Would they slap you to death?

Zhang Zheng saw Lu Shaoqing's indifferent expression and knew that he didn't care about face.

He decided to cut to the chase and said to Lu Shaoqing, "Senior Brother Lu, you are Senior Brother Ji Yan's junior, so your strength shouldn't be much weaker than his."

"Are you willing to spar with us two?"

Lu Shaoqing's expression didn't change, and he looked at the two of them, "What are your names?"

"Zhang Zheng!"

"Wu Tianzong!"

Lu Shaoqing asked Zhang Zheng, "What is your relationship with Zhang Conglong?"

Zhang Conglong, the chief disciple of the Guiyuan Pavilion, is very powerful and is said to be in the late stage of the Foundation Establishment period, ready to break through.

Ji Yan is the representative of the young generation of the Lingxiao Sect.

Zhang Conglong is the representative of the young generation of the Guiyuan Pavilion.

Zhang Zheng's tone was full of pride, "He is my older brother."

Wu Tianzong added, "Senior Brother Zhang is the pride of our Guiyuan Pavilion."

Lu Shaoqing retorted, "Isn't he still a defeated opponent of my senior brother?"

Lu Shaoqing's words made Zhang Zheng and Wu Tianzong so angry they wanted to spit blood.

Zhang Conglong is very powerful, but he is not a match for Ji Yan.

In the most recent martial arts competition, he lost to Ji Yan and came in second.

Lu Shaoqing had a good guess as to why Zhang Zheng wanted to spar with him.

He wanted to help his brother save face.

Zhang Zheng said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense, do you dare to spar with me?"

"If I lose, I'll let you do whatever you want."

Lu Shaoqing turned his head, "Not interested, why should I?"

"Are you afraid?"

Zhang Zheng sneered.

Lu Shaoqing said, "Indeed, I am afraid."

Everyone was stunned. He actually said such a thing?

Are you a eunuch?

You're not a man at all.

Lu Shaoqing continued, "I'm afraid I might accidentally kill you."

Arrogant and overbearing.

Zhang Zheng was furious. He has no real skills, but he's so arrogant.

"Come on, you can try."

Lu Shaoqing said, "Not interested."

"You—"

Zhang Jin spoke up, "Lord Lu, Lord Zhang, let's be peaceful. Fighting will hurt the harmony, and it won't look good for either side."

"Everyone, what do you think?"

A group of people behind them started to cheer.

"Who's afraid? Just fight."

"Right, don't waste time."

"Are you going to fight or not?"

Outside, a crowd had gathered, watching curiously.

The Tianyu Peak, Ji Yan's junior, and the disciples of the Guiyuan Pavilion were enough to spark gossip.

This was also Zhang Jin's intention; otherwise, closing the door would make it impossible to see anything outside.

Lu Shaoqing gave Zhang Jin a cold look.

Fatso.

His words sounded like he was trying to mediate, but in reality, he was fanning the flames.

Outside the crowd, a young woman in her early twenties couldn't help but frown.

The young woman had a fair complexion, delicate willow-like eyebrows, and beautiful eyes fixed on the people inside the room.

Her simple and neat ponytail added a touch of spirit.

Her gaze on Zhang Jin was not friendly.

Inside the room, Lu Shaoqing's eyes fell on Xie Chong.

"Which peak are you from? Did you bring them here to humiliate the Tianyu Peak?"
