It's Lonely to Be Invincible

Chapter 104: Acting Cool Naturally

Xiao Lingyi was initially surprised by Lin Fan speaking up for him, but upon hearing Lin Fan’s next words, his bloodshot eyes opened wide.

“You’re so cruel.” Xiao Lingyi stared at Lin Fan in disbelief.

Lin Fan frowned. Cruel?

There’s no such thing. I guess he can’t appreciate my goodwill. Do you know how many great masters became even determined and achieved great success after a setback?

But it’s such a pity that Xiao Lingyi is not such a person.

If Xiao Lingyi receives the punishments that I have suggested, I will kill him when he’s out of the sect and take all his possessions.

“Hmph!” Elder Tian Xu sneered, making Xiao Lingyi look down in fear.

Xiao Lingyi was aware that, if Elder Tian Xu decided to abolish his cultivation, there would be nobody who would speak up for him. All he could do was beg for forgiveness and hope that Elder Tian Xu would let him off.

He had not thought that Lin Fan would be so cunning as to trick him.

Xiao Lingyi only said he would kill Lin Fan’s entire family out of anger.

It wouldn’t be a problem if Elder Tian Xu did not hear it, but never would he have expected that Elder Tian Xu would be in hiding and listening to his words and make his appearance afterward.

Elder Huo Rong, who put the sect first, felt that it would be a loss to the sect if Xiao Lingyi were to have his cultivation abolished. He’s a pillar of strength for the sect.

But before he could voice his thoughts, somebody beat him to it.

“Elder Tian Xu, please be lenient.” A voice boomed across the sky. A man could be seen flying over. Within no time, he was standing next to Xiao Lingyi.

Seeing this person, Xiao Lingyi fell to the ground. “Senior Brother Wan, please save me...!”

Wan Zhongtian stared at him coldly and turned to Elder Tian Xu. “Elder Tian Xu, please do spare him. If there’s a next time, I’ll take action against him personally and won’t bring Elder Tian Xu any trouble.

“And this should be Junior Brother Lin. You’re surely a giant among men, neither haughty nor humble. I hope that Junior Brother Lin won’t take this matter to heart.”

Skies of Zhong Peak leader, Wan Zhongtian, had arrived personally to bail Xiao Lingyi out.

Liu Ruochen walked to Wan Zhongtian to greet him. “Greetings, Senior Brother Wan.”

Seeing Liu Ruochen, Wan Zhongtian couldn’t help but hold his breath. Terrible. She looks terrible. He then diverted his attention to Lin Fan. Wow, he sure does have a hard heart.

Liu Ruochen was of no importance to Wan Zhongtian. The only thing that mattered to him was the relationship between Liu Ruochen and the Saint Convent Sect.

“Junior Sister Liu, please take this incident to heart and never act rashly ever again.” As the peak leader of the Skies of Zhong Peak, Liu Ruochen had to show Wan Zhongtian respect.

Liu Ruochen knew that the matter had already come to an end. “I will remember Senior Brother’s words by heart.” She nodded.

Wan Zhongtian then turned to Xiao Lingyi, who had fallen to the ground. “Get up,” he said coldly. “Apologize to Elder Tian Xu and Junior Brother Lin, now! If you shoot your mouth once again, there’s no need for your mouth to exist in this world.”

Xiao Lingyi trembled. “Yes, Senior Brother.”

To the spectating disciples, it was a surreal day. Not only did they get to see the elders that rarely made an appearance, they saw Senior Brother Wan from the Skies of Zhong Peak too.

Lin Fan had been silent since Wan Zhongtian arrived. He scanned the man in front of him. He has looks, and he’s manly. Oh, he gives off the feeling that he’s an ambitious person too. A master is different from ordinary figures.

I might have won with my mouth and back up this time around, but if I wish to act as I want, then I will need the ability to do so.

However, the act of spouting rubbish and having support is also considered ability.

But this person is a little bit too arrogant. As soon as he arrived, he thinks that the stage is his and he has the ability to take control of the situation.

He needs a spanking.

Watching Wan Zhongtian take the situation into his hands, Huo Rong sighed. He knew that Tian Xu was angered.

He had known Tian Xu since they were young, how would he not know how Tian Xu was?

Wan Zhongtian looked confident. He had his arms behind his back, and he stood high in front of the crowd. As the peak leader of the Skies of Zhong Summit, his bearing was not something that an ordinary cultivator would bear.

Xiao Lingyi stood in front of Elder Tian Xu and Lin Fan and bowed. “Disciple knows my mistake. I ask for Elder Tian Xu and Junior Brother’s forgiveness.”

Elder Tian Xu did not reply. No emotion could be seen on his face.

Wan Zhongtian nodded softly and lifted his hand up. “Zhongtian will not further trouble Elder and Junior Brother anymore. I will give him the punishment he deserves when we return.”

Just then, Elder Tian Xu, who had remained silent, reached out his hand suddenly and placed it on Wan Zhongtian’s head.

Wan Zhongtian broke out into cold sweat. Elder Tian Xu made the surroundings freeze just be raising his hand. Wan Zhongtian could not even move.

Pat!

His palm landed on Wan Zhongtian’s head. Elder Tian Xu caressed him lightly, but a terrifying aura could be felt.

“Wan Zhong, I see that you’ve grown up.”

It might’ve only been eight words, but they were like thunder to Wan Zhongtian. He gulped as cold beads of sweat ran down his forehead.

“Back then, you bowed to me respectfully, asking me to take you in as a disciple. Now, you’re the peak leader of the Skies of Zhong Peak, who is able to act naturally around me. I’m pleased to see this,” Elder Tian Xu said calmly while caressing Wan Zhongtian’s head. It looked as if he was praising Wan Zhongtian.

But Elder Tian Xu’s words woke Wan Zhongtian up. After becoming a peak leader, Wan Zhongtian started to think that he was high above others and that he had the ability to take every situation into his hands after having power and influence for years.

If it was any other ordinary elder, he would be able to resolve the issue with his status, but it was Elder Tian Xu he came across today. Wan Zhongtian suddenly realized that he had made a grave mistake.

“Master, disciple thinks that he’s being presumptuous.” Lin Fan dug his ears, saying in a relaxed manner.

Elder Tian Xu smiled thinly. “Disciple, let master give you a lesson today. Act how you should, and do not try to cross the lines.”

Lin Fan nodded. “Master, disciple will remember your words by heart.”

Elder Tian Xu might’ve been speaking to Lin Fan, but to Wan Zhongtian, the words were directed at him.

“Elder, I...” Wan Zhongtian’s arrogance was all gone in an instant.

Elder Tian Xu said no more and took a glance at Wan Zhongtian. However, this glance was able to make Wan Zhongtian drop to the ground immediately.

“Please forgive me, Elder. Zhongtian knows my mistake.” Wan Zhongtian looked down immediately. He had come to understand that his current status was nothing in Elder Tian Xu’s eyes.

The ten peak leaders who were fighting for the seat of Sect Leader stood high above any ordinary disciple.

But what were they to Elder Tian Xu?

They were nothing.

Seeing that Senior Brother Wan had knelt down, Xiao Lingyi did the same too.

Elder Tian Xu kept his hand and turned back to Lin Fan. “Disciple, have you collected your Inner disciple package?”

“No, Master. I came here early in the morning. I haven’t had the time to do so.”

“Then let’s go collect the package.”

“Yes, Master.”

Lin Fan had long returned to his usual height. He took a glance at Wan Zhongtian, who was still kneeling on the ground, and snickered.

I didn’t know Master was so dominating. I couldn’t tell. I was nearly deceived by his appearance.

He’s even better at acting cool compared to me! There’s still a lot that I need to learn.

As Lin Fan and Elder Tian Xu walked off into a distance, Qin Shan followed.

They shrunk into the distance, but their conversation could be clearly heard.

“Master, when do they have to kneel til? Next year?”

“Tomorrow.”

“Oh, that’s such a pity.”
