Chapter 670 – The Scum Is Powerless
They all froze and blankly looked at Dong Cheng.
"What… what do you mean?" Li Tian asked in puzzlement.
"Somebody killed my pursuers while I fled." Dong Cheng answered as he looked at them.
Their eyes widened in shock as they gaped at him. "WHAT?!" they exclaimed. Although they have already guessed this after Dong Cheng said that it wasn't who killed his pursuers, they still can't help but feel shocked.
It was someone who killed the pursuers of Dong Cheng. Then, was this someone a pure passerby and just happened to help Dong Cheng? Or, was it…? They looked at each other with their gazes talking.
"Who is it?!" Feng Mo asked as his eyes sharpened.
"Could it be… an enemy of our enemies?" Li Tian muttered with a pensive expression on his face.
"Ehem." Ho Yue coughed and smiled, feeling embarrassed. "We are the enemy of your enemies." He reminded them.
They grimaced.
"Then… who could it be? He helped Dong Cheng escape…" You Rou said and looked at Dong Cheng who shook his head.
"Our ally?" Ho Ting asked with his brows raised.
Sun Rong and Qie Shi frowned. "This is better compared to this unknown person allied to them." Sun Ron said.
They nodded in agreement. It is better to have one more friend than one more enemy.
"Did you not see them?" Ho Yue asked, now asking the purpose of him and Ho Ting coming here.
Dong Cheng turned to him and shook his head. His eyes are full of pity. "I also want to know." He said. "Regardless of whether they are a passerby or not, it is a fact that they saved my life, so that I am now here talking to you." He said.
They all nodded in agreement. Indeed, this is an irrefutable fact.
"Are they local? Or…" Ho Ting spoke. "Someone from our land?" he said.
Everyone fell silent as they all looked at Dong Cheng. That's right. This is also a concern. If it is a local, meaning that they are their fellow people, then it is fine. But, if this person that saved Dong Cheng is actually another foreigner… they looked at each other with a serious expression on their faces.
You Rou saw their expressions don't look good. "Elder Ho." She called. "Was there anyone from your land that also came here like you and Ho Ting did?" she asked.
Everyone's expressions became even more serious as they waited for Ho Yue's reply.
Ho Yue's expression is heavy. How can he not guess what they are thinking? He can understand. If these foreigners wouldn't cause trouble in this land like what Ho Yue and Ho Ting did, then it is fine for them to be here. But, if they are like these enemies that they are facing now… heh. Then, they definitely won't be polite them! They not only came here to make trouble, but also they killed!
Then, they shouldn't complain if they will return it a hundredfold!
"Dong Cheng." Ho Yue called. "What did those people who attacked your sect looked like?" he asked. "Have you seen their leader? What does he look like?" he asked.
Dong Cheng's brows knitted since he was reminded again of his powerlessness , making him unable to save his father, especially his fellow disciples that died. "When they attacked us before we could leave the east, we didn't see any powerful master." He answered. "Although their strength wasn't that great, but we were caught off-guard, and they overpowered us with their numbers, too." He frowned in displeasure.
Everyone saw his expression and knows that he is still grieving for his fallen fellow disciples, and is mad because of what happened to his sect, especially to his father. So, they didn't continued asking him anymore while You Rou sensibly made him sleep again for him to regain more of his strength. They all then left the room and went to the dining area to converse while eating.
"Elder Ho, what do you think from Dong Cheng's answer?" Sun Rong asked while he placed some food on Qie Shi's bowl.
"I don't think that Dong Cheng is lying." Li Tian said as he pondered. "He and his father might not really have met the leader of the group of foreigners that attacked their sect." he said.
Feng Mo nodded in agreement. "This is possible." He said. "The leader must be low-profiled. After all, he even managed to not let us know about their attack on the sect." he explained.
They all pondered over it and think that what Feng Mo said made sense.
"Do you know someone from the enemies with this personality?" Qie Shi asked as he looked at Ho Yue.
They all looked at him.
Ho Yue's brows knitted as he tried to recall. "It has been a long time since we left the sect… but, I know one." He looked at them.
Everyone started as they all sat upright, waiting for Ho Yue to continue.
Ho Yue didn't leave them hanging as he immediately spoke. "His name is 'Bozu'. He is a priest." He said. "He is taciturn and also doesn't get involve in many things unless it was his task, or a part of his task." He looked at them. "He is a silent person, but then actually has an irascible temper, like a dormant volcano that suddenly erupts. Also – " he took a deep breath. " – since he is a priest, he has to perform celibacy, which the road he has chosen when he became a priest, instead of the road of killing." He explained. "So, after he joined the sect, he killed. But, he still remained celibate. Old habits die hard." He shrugged. "Although…" he grimaced. "… he wants to be surrounded by women, to make up for this." He finished.
Everyone's expression looked complicated after they heard this.
"He… is… ehem, unique." Feng Mo coughed and lowered his gaze.
Li Tian helplessly smiled as he looked at Feng Mo. "Just say it. He is a contradictory person." He said.
The others nodded in agreement.
"Bozu… hmph." Ho Ting snorted in disdain. "You should say it clearly. He is a hypocrite." He said.
Everyone looked at each other and then looked away, doesn't want to respond to what Ho Ting said. It was not as if Ho Ting needed their response, either, as he began digging on his food.
"So… is he strong?" You Rou asked.
They all looked at her.
"Founder, shifu, Cheng-shidi, da shixiong, Lei-shijie, Lei-shidi… as well as the others… they would be able to defeat him, right?" You Rou asked, looking very anxious.
Li Tian and Feng Mo also feel worried. They looked at Ho Yue with expectant gazes.
But, it was Ho Ting who answered instead. "Him? He is just a trash!" he said.
They all turned to him.
"Why?" Sun Rong curiously asked. It seemed that Ho Ting really despise this Bozu.
"As I have said, he is a hypocrite." Ho Ting said. "He says one thing but does another. Just like his celibacy. He is practicing celibacy yet what is he doing? He still have sxual desires!" he said and frowned. "So, you should also know that he is pretentious, for these two words, 'hypocrite' and 'pretentious' are what describe him!" he looked at them. "He is pretentious, because he is acting like someone strong due to him coming from their temple when in fact, he is the weakest of the weakest in their temple!" he told them.
Their eyes widened in shock. "Really?!" they exclaimed.
Ho Ting nodded and evilly grinned. "The reason why he joined the sect was because he was kicked out of their temple, and not because of him leaving it!" he said. "He was kicked out because, as I have said, he has still sxual desires! Not to mention that he is also a hypocrite as well as pretentious… would the temple master still tolerate him after repeated warnings?" he asked as he smugly smiled.
Ho Yue helplessly sighed at his nephew exposing Bozu.
They were all surprised. "How did you know this?" they asked. They know that for a hypocrite and pretentious person, they have a tall pride. So, this Bozu definitely wouldn't reveal all these secrets of him even if he will be killed!
Yet, Ho Ting knows… but how? They thought, feeling both puzzled and curious.
"Hehehe." Ho Ting chuckled as he grinned. "Because I overheard him when he was drunk." He answered.
Everyone. "…" well, alcohol really is a demonic object. They thought and sighed, lamenting Bozu's reputation in case Ho Ting exposes him in the future to their sect.
"Why do you seem like you hold a grudge against him?" Sun Rong asked Ho Ting as he curiously looked at the young man.
Ho Ting turned and his grin turned into a big frown. Ho Yue just sighed. "How can I not?" Ho Ting sneered.. "He asked for our mother to 'serve' him before!" he answered as he gnashed his teeth in anger.
