My Master Disconnected Yet Again

“Go and let your Junior Brother take this. Ask him to go and receive his punishment himself after his injuries had healed!” With that said, he looked at Jing Qi and added, “The same for you. Go and receive punishment later!”

“Thanks, dad!” Lou Tao was happy, and probably thinking about his Junior Brother, he rushed out without looking at Jing Qi at the side.

Yet Jing Qi’s hands tightened, and the grievances in his heart grew even stronger. Both of them had received punishment but not Lou Tao. He was biased indeed.

“Supremacy.” After dealing with this little accident, Lou Hong looked at Lonemoon and couldn’t help but still want to make him accept the disciple. “Look at this child…”

After what happened just now, Jing Qi felt both nervous and expectant. The Soul Formation Supremacy ought to be different, perhaps.

Yet in the next instant he heard him say…

“I’m not accepting disciples!”

Jing Qi’s heart felt cold, and the expecting expression disappeared immediately. A rush of angered came to him. Hmph, what Soul Formation Supremacy, he was just the same as all these people. And he actually held extra hopes for him.

“This…” Lou Hong was stunned for a moment. “Would Supremacy like to consider it a bit more? In any case, the celestial spirit root is rare.”

“There’ll be no need. I didn’t have the intention to accept disciples today, anyway. Besides, sword cultivation does not place emphasis on the spirit root. However extraordinary the spirit root, in my eyes it is the same as the Five Spirit Roots.” Lonemoon continued, “Sword cultivation places a greater emphasis on character. If the character is good, any spiritual root would do. Moreover, one disciple, Yi Qing, is enough for my peak. The rest will just be trouble.” And they would also have to take care of his meals. Besides, no one could surpass Yi Qing in quality.

Seeing this, Lou Hong felt that he shouldn’t continue persuading, and said, “Oh, okay then…”

“Don’t you look down on me!” Before he finished, Jing Qi down there looked as if he couldn’t hold back his words any more. His face was full of anger, like he was humiliated. He stared up at them. “If you don’t like me, say it directly. What character! You don’t need to do implicit mocking. Didn’t you refuse to accept me because you are biased towards that little fatty?”

After this was said, not only Lonemoon, but the whole audience was shocked by this boy who suddenly burst out in anger. What is he talking about?

“Don’t you think that I can’t see it!” He continued to wear an expression as if he had found out the truth. He pointed at the crowd and continued to talk nonsense. “You people of Honesty Sect are all birds of a feather. You don’t recognize the truth but only protect your own people. Yes, our Green Robes Sect was decimated, but we still have our pride, and we are not to be casually humiliated. Don’t you look down on us!”

“Presumptuous!” Lou Hong had finally understood. He actually bred resentment just because of a rejection?

If this was the case now, one can’t imagine what he would be after he completed cultivation! In an instant, his impression of Jing Qi fell to the bottom. At first, he was thinking that if Supremacy didn’t want him, with such a good spirit root, it would be nice for himself or Junior Brother to take him on as well. But now, it seemed that Supremacy was right: Character was the most critical, and spirit root less so.

“What, you are angry because I told the truth? Old man!” Jing Qi’s expression was fearless. He even glanced at Shen Ying and Lonemoon at the top and snorted, “Hmph! You are Supremacies, so what? I do not care about it! Even without you, I will be somewhere above all of you some day!”

He was getting even more nonsensical. Lou Hong was so angry that he blew up his mustache. He felt embarrassed. He was the one who most appreciated this boy previously, and what he was doing was simply slapping his face in front of everyone.

“You are so young yet talk so carelessly.” But considering that he was still a child, he couldn’t give him too harsh a punishment. He immediately called in two disciples, “Take him to the locked chamber in the back of the mountain and let him reflect on his faults in silence.”

“Yes!” The two disciples immediately came forward to drag him.

Yet Jing Qi pushed them away and even pulled out his sword. “Do you want to kill me to silence my talking?”

“…”

Lou Hong’s mouth twitched. How on earth did such dark thoughts come to such a young child? He sighed, and not wanting to speak further to him, he directly produced a hand seal to fix him in position, before waving for the disciples to bring him down. Right now, not to mention taking him as disciple, he needed to reconsider even whether or not to accept him into the sect. Because his mind didn’t seem to work well!

Jing Qi was merely at Qi Refinement level, and naturally couldn’t resist Nascent Soul cultivators. Seeing that he was going to be dragged away, he could only stare hard at everyone in the room, and shouted out a famous saying word by word, “Fortune was in the east bank thirty years ago, but turns to west when thirty years has passed. Don’t you bully the young.”

Lonemoon, “…”

Everyone: “…”

Immediately the whole audience looked at the person walking out with the type of sympathy you give an idiot.

Lonemoon’s mouth twitched. This must be an idiot? What’s up with this strange line?

Besides, he didn’t say anything much just now at all, but simply didn’t want to accept a disciple, yet he looked as if the whole world owed him. Did he transmigrate from the plane of idiots?

Lou Hong’s expression was full of regret. He looked at Lonemoon meekly and hurried to change the subject, “The matter of disciples can be discussed later. Let’s look into the matter of Green Robes Sect first!” He coughed and looked at the rest of Green Robes Sect disciples in the hall.

“Is there any among you who knows why those demons attacked Green Robes Sect?”

Those children looked at one another, and a hint of fear and hesitation showed in their eyes.

Lou Hong immediately comforted them, with a smile on his face, “Don’t be afraid. Since you’ve come to Honesty Sect, you are the disciples of our sect from now on. Whatever that happens, we will protect all of you. Just tell me what you’ve heard and seen before coming here.”

Only now did the expression of those few kids become milder. They looked at the person in front and started talking.

“We saw a lot of man-eating monsters. They ate a lot of Senior Brother…”

“And Senior Sisters. They said Senior Sisters’ meat tasted better.”

“They lost a lot of blood, that’s when the sect master told us to hide, otherwise we would be eaten too.”

“And sect master told us not to make a sound… if they can’t find Green Feathers… Green Feathers Orchid?” Feathers

“Green Feathers Spiritual Orchid! Those monsters are looking for that?” Lou Hong gasped, as his widened eyes saw the group of children nodding. He hurriedly turned to Lonemoon and said, “Supremacy, it seems that these demons were going after Green Feathers Spiritual Orchid.” He said very seriously, “The Orchid is not only a great healing herb, it also has the effect of cleansing the soul and the meridians. I heard that eating it can improve the chances of the neonate formation pill by 30%.”

“But this Green Feathers Spiritual Orchid has always been rare, and it takes a million years for one to grow.” Lou Hong’s expression was emotional, “Green Robes Sect actually had such a treasure.”

Lonemoon frowned. The Demon Monarch was already at the tenth level, and neonate formation pills are of no use to him at all. What did want this thing for? And he wanted it so much as to destroy a whole sect… Unless… it was his in the first place.
