Chapter 59. I Am a Greater Person (2)

It was something he could never have imagined.

A mere scholar losing his temper!

Even if he doesn't understand the ways of the world, to lose his patience over a little noise and provoke the renowned martial artists of the Jianghu.

Not just the Dragon Flower Hall, but even the Formless Sword and the Lone Soul were no exception.

He was momentarily stunned.

Who exactly was he telling to be quiet?

The letter that began with "It's me" was already strange, but this level of provocation was clearly a daily occurrence.

A moment can feel like an eternity; he needed to defuse the situation quickly.

He himself had to seek forgiveness.

The Dragon Flower Hall hastily got up.

But before he could fully straighten his legs, he froze.

...Why?

What was this?

It became quiet.

Not just the Crimson Scholar, but even the Three Demon Suppressors and the Wu Mountain Twin Heroes were huddled together, whispering in low voices.

'He told them to be quiet, and they actually became quiet?'

And it was in informal speech?

The Formless Sword and the Lone Soul were also confused.

'Have we misunderstood this person?'

He checked again. Yes, it was correct. There was no mistake.

But why?

No, the important thing was not that.

If there was another provocation here, it would be troublesome.

If the Crimson Scholar was just playing along, the aftermath would be even more terrifying.

The Dragon Flower Hall quickly sent a private message.

- Young Master, be careful with your words.

"Why a private message all of a sudden? And why be careful with your words?"

The Dragon Flower Hall was taken aback and quickly continued the private message.

- If you don't understand private messages, just listen.

"Private messages are possible, but I haven't said anything I shouldn't. Why do I need to be careful with my words? Isn't it too noisy and impolite!"

The Dragon Flower Hall's complexion turned even paler.

'Is he really a genius?'

It's common sense to think there must be a reason if someone sends a private message, but his stubborn objections were frustrating beyond measure.

- Young Master, you don't understand how great the people over there are. They are...

"It doesn't matter whether they are great or not."

- It does matter!

The Dragon Flower Hall sent a private message with a raised voice.

"Calms down. I am greater, so it's fine."

"..."

The Dragon Flower Hall was now completely exasperated, at a loss for words.

Hou Gong leaned back in his chair, crossing his legs.

"It's because the elders don't know who I am."

"Who? Is there someone else?"

The Dragon Flower Hall finally gave up on private messages.

"Actually, I am..."

"..."

"Great..."

"Great?"

"Leader of the Heavenly Gong Sect."

"Huh?"

The Dragon Flower Hall furrowed his brows.

Heavenly Gong Sect? He had never heard of it.

The Formless Sword and the Lone Soul also couldn't understand what he was saying.

But it was only for a moment.

A light went off in their heads.

'...Heavenly Gong Sect!'

They had heard of it. Just now.

The name that came up several times from the Crimson Scholar's group.

And,

The golden embroidery on the chest of the young beggar.

The dark Heavenly Gong Sect embroidery on the shoulder of the Crimson Scholar.

The pink Heavenly Gong Sect on the Wu Mountain Twin Heroes.

But understanding it only made them more confused.

Hou Gong looked around at the three who were in a daze and smiled.

"Yes. They are all my subordinates. Crimson Scholar, Three Demon Suppressors, Wu Mountain Twin Heroes, and others."

The three who were classified as "and others" by the Heavenly Gong Sect looked dejected.

The Dragon Flower Hall, who didn't know this, was busy trying to resolve his doubts.

"The subordinate you said would come...?"

"Yes. Didn't I tell you?"

"Ahaha, what do you mean... I don't understand..."

The Dragon Flower Hall awkwardly laughed and stammered.

The Heavenly Gong Sect embroidery was clear, and he understood that they became quiet when told to, but he couldn't understand how the leader of the Heavenly Gong Sect could become the Young Master of the Heavenly Flower Library.

As if reading the Dragon Flower Hall's thoughts, Hou Gong spoke.

"A hundred explanations are not as good as a direct introduction."

Hou Gong didn't need to call them.

The Heavenly Gong Sect, who were talking loudly but listening with one ear, quickly gathered.

The Dragon Flower Hall was surprised and hurriedly stood up, bowing.

"Senior, I greet you."

The Crimson Scholar burst into laughter.

"Are you well?"

"Thanks to you."

"What thanks? What have I done? But you've aged quite a bit. How old are you this year?"

"Forty-five."

"You're still in your prime."

"But the Heavenly Gong Sect, what exactly happened?"

"The Heavenly Gong Sect? If I must say, it's the best organization in the current martial world. It will soon dominate the Jianghu."

The Dragon Flower Hall found it difficult to manage his expression at this unexpected answer.

Dominating the Jianghu might be a joke, but

it was clear that the Crimson Scholar recognized the Heavenly Gong Sect. They had rushed over as soon as the introduction was mentioned.

Without being asked, they started introducing themselves.

The Heavenly Gong Sect was always lively.

"We are the core of the core of the Heavenly Gong Sect, the Three Demon Suppressors."

"Ha ha ha, we are the pillars of the pillars of the Heavenly Gong Sect, the Wu Mountain Twin Heroes."

The Three Demon Suppressors flashed their eyes, and the Wu Mountain Twin Heroes let out cruel laughter. The five of them gave off a chilling aura, as if they were about to deploy assassins, making the Dragon Flower Hall involuntarily shrink back.

Next, Miao Bingbing spoke.

"Hello. The leader classified me as 'and others,' but forget about that."

"..."

"I am Miao Bingbing, in charge of strategy and the inner circle in the Heavenly Gong Sect. I do all the thinking. If the Medicine King Sect has any concerns, just let me know."

"Yes..."

She looked cute and plump, far from the image of a strategist, so the Dragon Flower Hall's reaction was skeptical.

Miao Bingbing tilted her head.

"But the Medicine King Sect people have good medicine, it seems. Your skin is so fair. It doesn't look like you use powder, but your veins are visible, and it looks very good."

"Sister, you're pale."

"It's medicine! I know!"

Xiao Tiankai quickly advised but got scolded.

The Dragon Flower Hall immediately recognized Miao Bingbing.

She didn't do any thinking.

Next, Yin Angkai stepped forward.

He stylishly swept his hair back with one hand.

"Shh. I'm Yin Angkai of the Beggar Sect, in charge of appearance under the leader of the Heavenly Gong Sect."

"Ha ha, where do you shake off your dandruff, Senior Brother? You're always worried about not being a beggar!"

Xiao Tiankai burst into laughter and became the last to introduce himself.

"I am Xiao Tiankai of the Beggar Sect, who leeches off the leader of the Heavenly Gong Sect."

"Young heroes of the Beggar Sect."

"Sir of the Medicine King Sect, may I recite my lineage for a moment?"

"Lineage... Sure."

The Dragon Flower Hall nodded, wondering what lineage it could be.

"I am the eldest senior brother, the head of the Anhui branch, and my master is known as Kunwo Shengkai. He is already great, but I might become an elder of the Beggar Sect in the future."

'Kunwo Shengkai?'

The Dragon Flower Hall swallowed hard.

The current leader of the Beggar Sect.

So the beggars in front of him were the golden spoons of the beggars.

Even the beggars he thought were the least impressive in this group had deep roots. The second and youngest disciples of the leader of the Beggar Sect.

Xiao Tiankai continued.

"And I wrote the letter to the Medicine King Sect. I won a bet with my senior brother on who would write it. I apologize for writing it without permission. But before you scold me, please recall my lineage. Thank you!"

The Dragon Flower Hall forced a smile.

He was very young and had kindly revealed his golden spoon status, so it was hard to scold him.

More importantly,

'What is this impressive lineup?'

His head was spinning.

The Young Master of the Heavenly Flower Library, and now the leader of the Heavenly Gong Sect, with subordinates including the Crimson Scholar and promising disciples of the Beggar Sect.

'Is this some new trend in the Jianghu?'

He even had such thoughts.

But they disappeared as soon as they arose.

While the Crimson Scholar or the Beggar Sect might be different, the Three Demon Suppressors and the Wu Mountain Twin Heroes were not the type to lower themselves for fun.

They were the kind of people who would cause a fuss if they even made eye contact.

At that moment, Hou Gong stepped in.

"Senior! Please sit down."

"Me?"

"You need to finish your story, don't you?"

"Is there more to discuss? Let's set off immediately!"

The Dragon Flower Hall quickly changed his stance.

The situation had changed.

The opponent was not the Young Master of the Heavenly Flower Library.

It was the leader of the Heavenly Gong Sect.

He wasn't sure about the "great" part yet.

***

The Dragon Flower Hall led the Heavenly Gong Sect to the annex of the Medicine King Sect.

He then sought out the deputy leader to explain the situation.

Act first, report later.

But the deputy leader, Long Huayun, did not scold him.

If he had faced the Heavenly Gong Sect, which included the Crimson Scholar, he would have made the same choice.

Instead,

Curiosity arose.

"How did the Crimson Scholar and others become subordinates of the Young Master?"

The rumor of the genius of the Heavenly Flower Library becoming a cripple had been around for a while. But from the moment he got up, he crushed the harm of the Ximen family, and now he was the leader of the Heavenly Gong Sect. It was a continuous surprise.

"I'm sorry. I haven't found out yet."

"Hmm... It's not your fault. You probably didn't have time to ask."

"No, I did ask and heard the story."

"Huh?"

The deputy leader tilted his head.

Didn't he just say he hadn't found out?

The Dragon Flower Hall spoke.

"The Wu Mountain Twin Heroes said they encountered a powerful enemy. The enemy could fly and had martial arts that could collapse a mountain with one strike, and even used a technique to put them to sleep. They were almost killed helplessly... but the Young Master of the Heavenly Flower Library suddenly appeared and eliminated the enemy in one move."

"..."

"When he finished speaking, the Beggar Sect kids burst into laughter, and the Young Master looked at the Wu Mountain Twin Heroes as if they were crazy..."

"I see."

He shouldn't have asked.

The deputy leader, who immediately understood, cut off the conversation.

He quickly changed the topic.

"The arrival of the Young Master of the Heavenly Flower Library at the Nanhua Academy must not be known. At most, five days. The decryption of Mr. Mo's code will be completed by then, so we must keep it a secret until then."

"Of course."

"Fortunately, it's good. This matter concerns the family's treasure. If Mr. Mo's interpretation is questionable, we can verify it through the Young Master of the Heavenly Flower Library."

The family's treasure.

The moment those words were spoken, a shadow fell over the Dragon Flower Hall's face.

But he took a deep breath, shook it off, and spoke.

"What should we do about Tian Jian? The scent of incense is wafting into the annex, and the Heavenly Gong Sect is wondering what's going on."

"Hmm... Yes, the scent of incense. It's troublesome."

"Concealing it is not the only solution. If Tian Jian finds out later, they will cause a big fuss."

"That's true."

The Medicine King Sect could not treat Tian Jian lightly.

They owed Tian Jian.

They had to consider the face of Tian Jian Laozu, the master of the Tian Jian Six Paths.

"Perhaps we should give them an opportunity?"

"An opportunity?"

"Yes. You know that the Crimson Scholar has a connection with Hou Gong and follows him well."

"That's true."

"Also, the Heavenly Gong Sect has disciples of
