The Villain's Redemption

Chapter 123 Trouble

Chapter 123 Trouble

"You are looking for who?" the woman in front of Ji Tian squinted her beautiful phoenix eyes.

"Elder Fang." He answered.

"Oh!? You think you could just see an Elder anytime you want?" This woman was another youth who wanted to test their luck in the entrance examinations. She eyed the patches on Ji Tian’s clothes. "You’re not from around here, are you? You didn’t come from a family of cultivators, did you?" She lifted an eyebrow. Ji Tian slowly nodded.

"Then let me explain." The woman whose name he forgot to ask, put her hand on her waist and started speaking. "Most talented cultivators already have their own masters and family supporting them. Even those cultivators couldn’t just see an elder just because they want to. Let me tell you this. Elder Fang Yu was the Sect Master’s only disciple. I heard she killed someone and the Sect Master was the one who asked the family of the person that she killed for compensation because they made his dear disciple a little afraid. I also heard that..." Slowly, the woman started talking about all the rumors that she heard about Fang Yu.

"You think you could just see someone like that? She is someone with a very high status in this sect! She wouldn’t even bother coming here to check out the new recruits! Also... I heard she will have her very first disciple soon. So she might be busy." The woman continued.

"She sounds really intimidating." Ji Tian said as he remembered the Fang Yu that saved him before.

"Of course she is. She is also a potioneering genius! So, her disciple is fortunate to have her as a master. I bet she would get someone with a heavenly spiritual root. After all, she too had one."

"Oi, Yunyun... why are you talking to that bloke?" This was the same man who was sneering earlier when he saw Ji Tian enter the enormous gates.

"So what if I am talking to him? Why do you care?" The woman crossed her arms across her chest. "Hmph! Hmph! That man was so arrogant because he thinks that he is mighty. This was because he was from a cultivator family of this City." She then made her voice a little louder. "He is currently eight-level but still couldn’t even beat someone like me who is at the seventh level."

"What did you say? Do you want to fight?" The man surnamed Dongfang immediately fumed. Seeing this, Ji Tian sighed and decided to stop talking about this woman anymore. This woman was looking for trouble. With a capital T.

"I heard that Elder Mo Li is going to watch the recruitment with his new disciple. Rumors say that Elder Fang will come along with him." Someone’s voice drifted towards him. Ji Tian immediately froze and looked at the plump man behind him.

"Really?" He asked.

"Yes. Elder Mo is currently the most powerful Elder in this sect and he is also Elder Fang’s husband." The man lowered his voice. "The wedding celebration would happen in a month. My grandfather said that it would be an extravagant wedding. However, it was delayed because Elder Mo insisted on going to the forbidden forest to find a mount for his lovely wife. They said... it was a dragon." The man looked to his left and right, as if afraid that someone else would hear him.

Ji Tian widened his eyes. A dragon as a mount? But... Dragons are extremely prideful creatures. They wouldn’t bow down to someone that is not powerful. "Isn’t that too extravagant?" If this Elder Mo Li will die from fighting this dragon then, what would happen to his bride? Ji Tian’s face paled. And if Elder Fang will lose her husband, then what would happen to her disciple?

"Hey! You two! Why are you whispering? Hm?" His thoughts were interrupted when the same Dongfang man walked towards them. "Are you talking about me? Aren’t you embarrassed? You are just poor and untalented commoners and yet you actually dared to talk about someone like me?"

Ji Tian eyed the man in front of him. This man was a lot taller than his small frame. Muscles also bulged from the man’s arms. With his mohawk hairstyle and phoenix eyes, this man surnamed Dongfang looked like a troublemaker. "Plus... I heard you want to see Elder Fang?"

"Dongfang Liutao! Stop disturbing other students! Just because an elder already accepted you as a disciple doesn’t mean you have the right to disturb other people." Yunyun chimed in. Just one look at Ji Tian and one would be able to tell that he came from a poor family. How could she allow Liutao to bully someone like this?

This commotion had already attracted the eyes of other students. Seeing this, Yunyun tried to pacify the situation. "Just go to your master and let these two go."

"Hahaha... Yunyun... since when have you become so kind?" Dongfang Liutao gave an evil grin. "You actually want to protect someone who wished ill to an elder?"

"What are you talking about?" Ji Tian frowned. "I was only asking about Elder Fang."

"Hmph! I heard you wish death to Elder Fang."

"That is not true!" Ji Tian knew that topics like this were sensitive so immediately defended himself.

Seeing this face, Dongfang Liutao sneered. "Hmph! I heard you cursed Elder Fang to death! I am a disciple of an Elder here, I also came from the prominent Dongfang Family! Do you think I would lie?" He made his voice even louder, attracting the disciples that were assisting new recruits to the test.

"What is going on here? Who is causing any trouble? Liutao! Is it you?" An elder with long white hair and a wrinkled face suddenly arrived. His hands were behind his back as he walked towards the group of people.

"Master He!" Seeing the old man, Dongfang Liutao’s face immediately changed as he pointed at Ji Tian, Yunyun, and the plump man. "These three are cursing elders to die!"

"Hmph? Is that true?" The Elder raised an eyebrow and looked at the three people. Seeing that their appearance was nothing special, he immediately added. "Do you know that cursing an Elder is considered a crime on these grounds?" He waved his hands and almost immediately a small golem made of stones appeared in front of him. "Throw this three away from the sect." He uttered.

"I would love to see you try." A cold voice echoed as strong winds suddenly filled the whole arena.
