Chapter 171: Exercising the power of greed (R-13)
R-13 (Scenes contain homophobia, caution is advised to the reader)
Quian Dalai wanted to approach the group but was stopped by Yun San.
"I have to go out there and kick that girl with the big mouth in the ass. Does she think she can say whatever she wants because she has a little money?"
"Don't say that about a woman, that's disrespectful… Besides, do you want to make it even bigger? You stay quiet here with me, soon things will be resolved"
"What if they are not resolved?" Quian Dalai challenged the older brother Yun, crossing his arms and being stubborn.
"Would our sect let things be that undisciplined? Just observe"
Yun San said pinching Quian Dalai's cheek, he well knew that this little boy would cause more trouble and challenge others. However, he didn't want him to get too close to Hong Yu, for some reason he felt something wasn't right.
Maybe it's because he lived alongside Hong Yu's two personalities, but he had a pretty sharp sense when the other personality tended to take over.
Hong Yu noticed Yun San's movement, but he was busy causing "peaceful" discord among the teenagers.
"She should apologize to Shou Zuo and not just to older brother Huo," Wen Jie complained shooting Sun Jie with an icy look.
Sun Jie felt outraged and her emotions flared again, which made her hold the Sphere of Shock once more inside her sleeve, where it was out of the public eye.
"Why would Sister Jie apologize with a fagot? She's already too kind to let this monstrosity go even though he's trying to seduce others." Ji Huo spoke suddenly, she was surprised by what she said, but as she had already positioned herself it was too late to regret it.
"Trying to shamelessly seduce young master Zhie like a demon... Tsk, that kind of man should just die!" Lee Fu said spitting on the ground with even more disdain towards Shou Zuo than he initially showed.
The indignation of Wen Jie's group grew stronger and they started fighting with that small group of troublemakers, slanderous words were exchanged and threats were uttered.
Some were silent just watching the show and others agreed with what Lee Fu had said, Hong Yu had a face full of worry, but inside seeing the group's discord he felt content.
"Seduce others? Shall I order a duel to the death then for you? How dare you injure Shou Zuo's honor?" Wen Jie got angry too, but before things got more chaotic Shou Zuo felt bad and crouched on the floor sweating.
He grabbed Wen Jie's outfit for support, but his legs gave out, luckily, Hu Dewei was at his side holding his other arm to keep him from falling.
Wen Jie was surprised and scared seeing the unnatural paleness of the beloved forgetting the fight he held him and momentarily panicked. Everyone was stopped and surprised by what happened, except Hong Yu who seemed to be thinking about something else at the time.
"What did you do?" Chu Yue asked looking a little fierce, which was a little cute her being a pretty little girl. However, Sun Jie felt a strange pressure coming from the 10-year-old girl.
"I didn't do anything, I didn't even approach him." Sun Jie was defensive and showed her empty hands, but that didn't make Chu Yue any less suspicious of the 14-year-old.
"You can't accuse people like that! Especially someone as noble as Miss Sun." Lee Fu said in a gentlemanly way, but he just looked a little silly in acting like that.
Many had seen Sun Jie take that Sphere of Shock to try to harm her colleague earlier, so it wasn't an unfounded accusation Chu Yue was making now. This blind defense of Sun Jie's friends had made others despise them.
"Little Sister Chu now isn't a good time for this" Xiang Jia who was a resilient and more sensible teenager pulled Chu Yue's hand. Continuing the fight wouldn't help Shou Zuo now, they had to get help.
"That's right, you shouldn't get into conflict now" as if Hong Yu had come to his senses at that moment he placed himself between the two groups again, once again favoring Sun Jie's group.
Zhie Quan, who had felt embarrassed by the rude attitude of the bride and her classmates, felt a little awkward hearing Hong Yu's words, he then looked down at Shou Zuo's group with disdain.
He didn't even know that he hated the other party so much before he felt interested in the other party so that they could have a duel in the future or even train together.
In short, the positive feelings he had about Shou Zuo were replaced by feelings of disgust that Zhie Quan didn't know he felt. The others around him also felt this kind of feeling and started to look negatively at the group of young man who was sick at that moment.
Bai Ling, who was not fully human and was the one who maintained himself with greater rationality, ended up noticing the partial paralysis of everyone who seemed to just watch Shou Zuo pass out as if he expected the young man to fall and die right there.
There was so much hate that it could drown someone.
Wen Jie didn't know what to do which explained that he was numb holding Shou Zuo as if he was reviewing some kind of trauma and the others seemed to walk very slowly around him.
At least Bai Ling got that impression, even Yun San, Qian Dalai, and Qi Meiying seemed sluggish around him.
Elder Han Yie and the others who were in the room watching everyone downstairs got up, they felt something very wrong happening there, a subtle but ancient power seemed to be emerging.
Something very powerful that made them feel greedy for a moment to obtain, while they feared it might be some secret attack from one of the great sects.
Many worried that it might be a new attack by the Sect of Alchemy, but soon the power disappeared and everything seemed to have returned to normal.
Greed had exerted too much power of emotional control that it leaked some power that others noticed, so he quickly hid once more in Hong Yu's body, just in time when Elder Han Yie probed with his Celestial Qi the environment. and the group of disciples gathered on the other side of the challenge arena.
Unfortunately, Elder Han Yie didn't find the source of the energy. But this increased the caution of the old men who watched the young people below.
