Lin Xuanji's cries were earth-shattering and those who did not know would think that something had happened.
The old storyteller's face darkened. The moment Lin Xuanji arrived before him, he raised his leg and kicked the latter back!
That action did not have the demeanor of an expert at all. Instead, it was more like a fight between mortals in the marketplace. However, it was not out of place for the old storyteller.
Both Fatty and Shi Jian were startled by the kick.
"Screech!"
Lin Xuanji staggered from the kick and almost fell from midair. He could not help but grumble, "Old man, why did you kick me?"
"Don't pretend with me."
The old storyteller pursed his lips – he had already seen through Lin Xuanji's clumsy acting.
With an embarrassed expression, Lin Xuanji wiped away the water droplets on his face and coughed gently. "Although these tears are fake, my longing is truly touching!"
"Hmph,"
The old storyteller scoffed coldly and glanced at Lin Xuanji from the corner of his eyes, saying in disdain, "Look at how wretched you are. I don't even need to divine and use my butt to know that you were plotted against!"
Little Fatty and Shi Jian were stunned and dumbfounded at the side.
"This old man truly has no filter and is even more ridiculous than Lin Xuanji. How can he compare his head to his butt?"
"This is the helper that Lin Xuanji found? Why doesn't he look like an expert? "
The two of them exchanged glances and muttered internally.
"Look at how useless you are!"
The old storyteller did not seem like he was going to let it go as he scolded, "You must have forgotten everything I taught you! All you know is to ask me to come back and clean up after you were bullied. I'm embarrassed for you! "
No matter how thick-skinned Lin Xuanji was, he could not withstand the old storyteller's scolding and his face flushed red.
"Old man, don't say anymore!"
The veins on Lin Xuanji's neck were popping as he could not help but argue, "I was imprisoned for a few years and had no intention of asking you for help! If not for the fact that this matter is too serious, I wouldn't have asked you to come back! "
"Aiyo, you're still being stubborn!"
The old storyteller did not seem to have heard what Lin Xuanji was talking about. Instead, he mocked, "You're such a f * cking embarrassment. To think that you were imprisoned for so many years!"
"Crack!"
Lin Xuanji was humiliated as his face alternated between purple and green, wishing he could find a hole to hide in.
None of the cultivators present dared to interrupt.
Although this old man didn't seem serious at all.
However, everyone could clearly see that the moment this old man appeared, he simply snorted and blocked the attack of Patriarch Qingcheng!
Moreover, this old man was full of nonsense, but Elder Ancestor Qingcheng didn't say anything. Naturally, they wouldn't be so stupid to jump out.
Originally, the situation in front of Enigma Palace was still a state of mutual hostility.
After the old storyteller appeared, the atmosphere eased up quite a bit. The old storyteller kept scolding Lin Xuanji with different phrases.
Lin Xuanji's face darkened as he shuddered in anger.
He didn't even dare to talk back now.
If he tried to argue, the old man would follow up with ten sentences!
Demoness Ji covered her mouth and snickered at the side. She truly could not stand it any longer and said with a smile, "Senior, there are so many people watching. You have to leave him some face."
Her words were also a reminder for the old storyteller to deal with the situation before him.
"Hmph!"
The old storyteller harrumphed and said reluctantly, "Since Ancestral Master Linglong's successor has pleaded for mercy, I'll let you off for now."
"Oh my, my, my benefactor!"
Lin Xuanji felt as though he had been pardoned. This time round, he was truly moved to tears as tears streamed down his face. He wished he could run to Demoness Ji and kowtow!
Su Zimo heaved a sigh of relief as well.
In just this short period of time, his head was already faintly aching.
"I'm Araki Takeshi. Greetings, senior."
Su Zimo hurried before the old storyteller and bowed.
"Fufu, we meet again."
Earlier on, the old storyteller looked at Lin Xuanji with a look of disdain. However, in the blink of an eye, his expression changed and he nodded to Su Zimo with a pleasant expression.
Creak! Creak!
Lin Xuanji gripped his fists tightly and gritted his teeth in hatred!
The old storyteller's attitude towards Su Zimo caused everyone from Enigma Palace to shudder.
Half-Martial Ancestor Qian Tian and Half-Martial Ancestor Shen Jiu's expressions turned terrible as they looked at Heavenly Secrets at the side instinctively.
Heavenly Secrets was expressionless and did not say anything.
Right then, Patriarch Qing Cheng stepped forward and bowed to the old storyteller, causing an uproar!
Even the cultivators of Enigma Palace did not know of the old storyteller's identity, let alone outsiders.
But now, even Patriarch Qing Cheng had to bow – who was this old storyteller?
Or rather, what was his cultivation realm?
Could he be an emperor?!
Su Zimo was secretly shocked as well.
He had met the old storyteller twice but to think that the old man had such a powerful background!
"Greetings …"
The moment Patriarch Qing Cheng opened his mouth, the old storyteller waved it off and interrupted, "Get up."
The old storyteller looked at Lin Xuanji with disdain and was amiable towards Su Zimo. Now that he turned around and faced Patriarch Qing Cheng, his expression changed.
"Were you the one who wanted to cripple his cultivation?"
The old storyteller asked indifferently with a calm tone that could not be read.
"Yes,"
Patriarch Qing Cheng was clearly reserved in front of the old storyteller and no longer had the domineering might he had Just Now. He said in a deep voice, "That Araki Takeshi fought in front of Enigma Palace …"
"You know that he's Araki Takeshi?"
Before Patriarch Qing Cheng could finish, he was interrupted by the old storyteller's question.
The Qingcheng Patriarch had been interrupted twice in a row, but there wasn't the slightest hint of displeasure on his face.
"I know,"
Old Ancestor Qingcheng answered honestly.
"I don't care what Araki Takeshi did in front of Enigma Palace,"
The old storyteller said slowly, "He once founded the Wu Dao and imparted martial arts to all living beings so that everyone in the world could cultivate and benefit the world! Aren't you afraid of the wrath of the heavens for crippling someone with such merit?! "
The old storyteller's tone turned harsher and towards the end, it was already berating!
Patriarch Qing Cheng lowered his head slightly with a terrible expression.
He was different from Lin Xuanji.
After all, he was a Mahayana Patriarch and it was truly embarrassing for him to be reprimanded in public.
"Actually, you can't blame Patriarch Qing Cheng,"
The Palace Lord of Enigma Palace could not help but say, "It's truly because Araki Takeshi and the others have gone too far. They barged into the sect of Enigma Palace and shattered the stone stele with the words of the Human Emperor on it. They killed several Mighty Figures and injured many Half-Martial Ancestors. They even threatened to kill the young master of Enigma Palace!"
"If Patriarch Qing Cheng did not make a move and allowed Araki Takeshi and the others to charge into Enigma Palace, given their temperaments, they would have gone on a killing spree!"
Half-Martial Ancestor Qian Tian added hurriedly, "Palace Lord, you're right. Patriarch Qing Cheng has already given Araki Takeshi a chance to retreat. However, he still went overboard. The patriarch had no choice but to cripple his cultivation. "
"Nonsense! We're not here to make an enemy out of Enigma Palace. We're only here to settle scores with Heavenly Secrets!" Demoness Ji hollered.
"Humph! Heavenly Secrets is the young master of Enigma Palace. How can he be provoked by you? "
Half-Martial Ancestor Qing Ze sneered.
"Young master of Enigma Palace?"
The old storyteller raised his brow and shifted his gaze slowly towards Heavenly Secrets, asking coldly, "When did you become the young master of Enigma Palace?"
