Chapter 2004: Standard routine
The way she thought was great and simple. However, she knew that, even if she did not look for trouble, trouble might still look for her. That was why, when trouble did come to find her, she did not find it strange. She was just helpless.
She had laid very, very low, which is why she had rented a room in the only inn here. She was waiting for Yan Ya and the others to return to make their report before coming to pick them.
They said that the round trip would only take two or three days, so she just had to wait in the inn for a while. Who would have thought that trouble would come knocking on their door the moment Yan Ya and Fei Yi had left.
The reason was simple. It was not trouble brought about by Hai Xing and Hai Xi like they expected. It was because a pervert had taken a fancy to Sima You Yue and saw that they were outsiders so he had wanted to try and take advantage of Sima You Yue only to be sent flying with a kick by Wu Lingyu.
The Little Town that was initially quiet and peaceful, immediately erupted into chaos.
"Damn, are there actually people who dare to beat up our sect members here? How long has it been since this happened!"
"Are there really people like that? They're too daring!'
"Not bad! Go on, let's take a look!"
"If our sect members can't defeat them, will you go help them out?"
"Tsk, the one who was sent flying was that pervert from the Beast Tamer Sect. Who would help him?"
"Then you're planning on helping the outsiders?"
"That's not possible. That's against our sect rules."
"Then why are you going?"
"I'm… I'm going to watch the show! I want to see that pervert get beaten up!"
"Let's go."
"Aren't you not going?"
"When did I say that I wasn't?"
"Then why did you ask me so many questions?"
"For fun."
"..."
This man… was too hateful!
It was only after the two people left the tea house that the others who had come to drink tea realised that they were there.
"Isn't that Jia Nan Xin and Mu Ye Qi? It's been a long time since they appeared. What are they doing here?"
"It's been a long time since I've seen these two fools. I miss them."
"That's not right. Mu Ye Qi is the only fool. Jia Nan Xin isn't. He's the one all the women in our sect pine after!"
"Based on Jia Nan Xin's personality, he should have already crushed all the dreams of you young ladies, right?"
"Pfft. Although he's so aloof that nobody can draw near to him, it won't hide how charismatic he is. We just have to watch him from afar."
"You're all just love-struck girls!
"Sigh, I'm really jealous of those females from the sect. They can watch him anytime!"
"I can tell that you're just a love-struck idiot. The man of your dreams has already left. Aren't you going to chase after him?"
"Idol is too cold. I'd better watch from afar!"
"That's why I called you an idiot!"
Sima You Yue felt a headache coming on as she saw the scene before her. The one who had been kicked down had yet to crawl back up when everyone around them had already surrounded them. It was so that they could watch the show but also to stop them from escaping.
She glared at Wu Lingyu. He just had to hold it in a little bit just now, didn't he.
"If I had held in it, that man would have placed his disgusting claws on your body." Wu Lingyu huffed icily, not feeling like he had done anything wrong at all.
"Exactly. If Big Brother Lingyu did not kick him away, I would have let him eat the Dragon's Breath attack I learnt!" Fu Xi had also learnt how to huff icily as he said, "It's not like we can't defeat these people."
"This isn't a matter of defeating them or not. It's troublesome!" Sima You Yue protested helplessly.
"Don't worry. You're not a person who's afraid of trouble." Fu Xi waved his fists.
"I'm not afraid of trouble but I don't like it either!" Sima You Yue's head hurt, "There are so many people. Am I supposed to beat them all up? What if that causes more people to come over? Are we supposed to tell them then that we want to join them? Perhaps we will be sent flying before we even manage to speak. How are we supposed to say that we want to join them then?"
"You're right." Fu Xi wrinkled his nose.
"Forget it. We'll just beat them up then." She didn't like trouble, but she didn't fear it. Then again, she would have sent him flying had he really touched her. Wu Lingyu merely did what she would have eventually done.
That fatty crawled up from the ground and there were people who surrounded him immediately, expressing all sorts of concern.
"Looks like we've beaten up someone with a very strong backing." Sima You Yue said slowly.
In this sort of place where all sorts of talents gathered, only those talents who had a strong backer would be able to get them to curry favour. Especially so for those whose position in the sect were rather high.
As expected after those people had helped support that fatty to stand, someone immediately threatened Wu Lingyu, "Qing Cai is the grandson of Qing Fu Sect's Master, but you dared to beat him up? You must be tired of living!"
"It looks to me like they're all tired of living! Young Master Qing Cai, do you want us to kill them all?"
"Why would he need us to do it? He just has to call out his Underworld Beasts to turn them all into mincemeat!"
"That's a good idea. The last few people who were trampled into a paste were fun to watch!"
"..."
"As expected, those who love to nitpick are the younger generations of those Sect Deputy Masters, Sect Elders, Sect Stewards and the like." Those people wouldn't stop talking and Sima You Yue shook her head, "Could it be that there's no other standard?"
"That's because it's only those types of people with this kind of backing who dare to do whatever they please in a sect." Wu Lingyu hit the mark.
"That's true. However, there are the outliers. There are many good people as well." Fu Xi felt that he was an outlier. Look at how obedient he was. He would never do things like kidnapping beauties and things like that. Neither had he ever taken liberties with a woman. He couldn't care less for those women.
Right now, he saw with his own eyes how this kind of fatty with huge ears relied on power to bully others and sexually assault them. That made him feel like a real treasure.
Sima You Yue saw his narcissistic face and couldn't help but poke his forehead, scolding him, "With that tiny body of yours, what could you possibly do to women? If you want to commit a crime, you must have the body to commit the crime, got it?"
"I will have it! Hmph!" Fu Xi was teased and suddenly had a thought. What if, after his body had grown up, he also started to kidnap beautiful ladies?'
He wondered if that man would chase him across the world if he snatched the woman by his side.
Qing Cai was enraged along with the people from his Beast Tamer Sect. they had already revealed his identity, bt these people had ignored them and were having fun amongst themselves
This was provocation! Blatant and clear provocation!
At the same time, this also showed that they didn't care about them or the hidden sect at all.
This was also humiliating them!
"Call out the divine beasts that we had contracted just a few days before! Let them see how powerful they are!" Someone suggested.
"Alright!"
Qing Cai took out a little cage. Inside it was an underworld beast in camouflage. When it saw Qing Cai, it subconsciously shrank back.
"Go, trample those people into mincemeat and I'll stop your daily burning at the stake!" Qing Cai said as he opened the taming beast cage.
When the underworld beast heard what he said, he ran out without hesitation.
Sima You Yue raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Divine Beast? Seems like we're being looked down on!"
