From outside the sect to the entrance of the Hundred Refinements Great Hall.
Nangong Ling and the other two were scolded by Dao Lord Scarlet Star the entire way. They were scolded badly and did not even dare to wipe off their faces that were covered in saliva.
Without Nangong Ling and the other two pestering him, Su Zimo watched the commotion from the side happily.
Naturally, Dao Lord Scarlet Star asked about the entire incident.
Su Zimo pretended not to know and casually said that he was already on the spirit vessel when he woke up.
Dao Lord Scarlet Star brought Su Zimo and the other three to the entrance of the Hundred Refinements Great Hall before stopping to reprimand them to take a breather.
"Master, you must be tired too. We know our mistake. Drink some water."
Ru Xuan was the best at pleasing Dao Lord Scarlet Star. She hurried over and produced a steaming cup of tea from somewhere before handing it over.
Harrumphing, Dao Lord Scarlet Star received the tea and downed it in one gulp. He said angrily, "I'll teach you guys a lesson after this period of time!"
Nangong Ling and the other two exchanged glances, knowing that they had passed this ordeal.
The three of them heaved a sigh of relief and rolled up their sleeves in unison to wipe off the saliva on their faces.
"It's good that you're fine. The Thousand Crane Tea Party will be held a month later. At that time, you guys will have a chance to redeem yourselves," Dao Lord White Flames chuckled and tried to smooth things over.
After thinking for a moment, Dao Lord Scarlet Star turned around and looked at Su Zimo with a frown, saying in a deep voice, "Junior Brother, although you're young, you're their senior after all!"
"The three of them are fooling around and you're fooling around as well. Don't you know how to stop them?"
Su Zimo had just taken out the Heaven Slaying Sword Art and was prepared to continue comprehending it when Dao Lord Scarlet Star turned around and started lecturing him.
"All you know is to read that stupid book blindly. What can you see?"
After lecturing Nangong Ling and the other two, it was clear that Dao Lord Scarlet Star was still angry and continued, "As their Uncle-Master, you have to cultivate diligently and be a role model. You can't idle around and read random books all day!"
"Err …"
Su Zimo was dumbfounded.
This was the first time he had heard someone call the Heaven Slaying Sword Art a 'messy book'.
Su Zimo knew that Dao Lord Scarlet Star was concerned about Nangong Ling and the other two. That was why he turned around to teach him a lesson and was not intentionally targeting him.
Su Zimo didn't take it seriously. He smiled and didn't try to defend himself.
On the other hand, Nangong Ling and the other two could not stand it anymore.
Yoo Han-yeon quickly stood up and said, "Master, you can't blame Martial Uncle for this matter. It was me who wanted to go to the Wind and Cloud Assembly. Senior Martial Brother Nangong and Junior Martial Sister Ru Xuan accompanied me. Martial Uncle tried his best to stop me, but I was too stubborn … "
"It's not Junior Sister's fault."
Nangong Ling also said, "A month later, Junior Sister will participate in the refining competition. She is under too much pressure, so she wants to go out and relax."
"Furthermore, Little Uncle-Master did try his best to stop us for this matter. I was the one who kept causing trouble and Little Uncle-Master followed us because he was worried that we would be in danger."
After what happened in Wind Cloud City, Nangong Ling watched as Su Zimo crippled Cheng Peng, who was ranked 15th on the Phenomenon Ranking, with a single slash.
He even suppressed Jian Wuzong, who was ranked third on the Phenomenon Ranking, to the point that he could not even draw his sword. His impression of Su Zimo had changed drastically!
At that moment, he stood out to speak up for Su Zimo as well.
Dao Lord Scarlet Star frowned slightly.
These disciples of his had always respected their master and had never disobeyed him.
Even when he reprimanded them so viciously Just Now, none of them retorted at all.
To think that his disciples would be unable to take it just by reprimanding Mo Ling casually.
Dao Lord Scarlet Star looked at Su Zimo meaningfully and lamented internally, "Seems like this junior brother of mine is quite capable."
He knew the three disciples beside him the best.
All of them were prideful people. There was no way they would accept the sudden appearance of an Uncle-Master who was younger than them and had a similar cultivation realm!
To think that in just two months, his three disciples would start speaking up for this Uncle-Master.
Ru Xuan jumped out as well and was even more direct as she said angrily, "Master, you're not allowed to talk about Little Uncle-Master! Do you know that if not for Little Uncle-Master, the three of us would have been bullied to death in Wind Cloud City! "
At that point, Ru Xuan's eyes reddened and she almost cried.
Dao Lord Scarlet Star had been to Wind Cloud City before but he only had a rough understanding of it and did not know the details.
Before he could ask, Ru Xuan had already sobbed and recounted the few battles in Wind Cloud City.
Consecutively, he defeated two paragons on the Phenomenon Ranking, captured two assassins of Hidden Death Sect and destroyed more than ten Sword Sect cultivators with a single slash. Such a battle record was shocking to begin with.
Coupled with Ru Xuan's embellishment and eloquence, even Dao Lord Scarlet Star and Dao Lord White Flames were stirred and their blood boiled!
Dao Lord Scarlet Star's brows gradually relaxed and he looked at Su Zimo with a much gentler gaze.
Yoo Han-yeon took out a black stone from her storage bag and handed it over. "Master, this is the stone."
Dao Lord Scarlet Star received it.
A single sweep of his Dharma Characteristic spirit consciousness was enough to detect it.
"It's indeed a Lava Crystal."
Dao Lord Scarlet Star and Dao Lord White Flames exchanged glances and nodded.
Ru Xuan continued, "Although I don't know why you guys are suddenly in a hurry to gather these top-grade spirit materials, if not for Little Uncle-Master, this stone would have been snatched away long ago."
"Yes, Mo Ling did well in this matter."
Given his status, Dao Lord Scarlet Star could not apologize to Su Zimo. Hence, he chuckled. "Cough, as expected of my junior brother. You've truly brought honor to the sect!"
Nangong Ling and the other two finally smiled as well.
Unexpectedly, Dao Lord Scarlet Star seemed to have thought of something and suddenly turned around. He glared at the three of them and scolded, "Uncle-Master is Uncle-Master. What Little Uncle-Master? How am I little? "
"Look at the three of you! You have no manners at all! Change it in the future, do you hear me?! "
"Got it,"
Nangong Ling and the other two did not dare to retort and agreed weakly.
Gripping the Lava Crystal, Dao Lord Scarlet Star turned and walked into the hall, intending to hand the stone to Hokkaidōjin first.
In the depths of the hall, in a spirit pool filled with immortal qi, an Essence Spirit that shone with red light sat upright.
The moment Dao Lord Scarlet Star placed the Lava Crystal beside him, he heard Hokkaidōjin say indifferently, "You were quite impressive earlier on, weren't you?"
"Ah?
When Dao Lord Scarlet Star heard Hokkaidōjin's odd tone, he chuckled dryly. "Grandmaster, you must be joking. I was just teaching a junior a lesson."
"Who's the junior?"
Hokkaidōjin asked again.
"A-All of them,"
Dao Lord Scarlet Star felt his hair stand on end and his gaze flickered, losing his confidence.
Hokkaidōjin's Essence Spirit walked out of the spirit pool slowly and said coldly, "Mo Ling is my disciple! He's of the same generation as your master, Tian Xin! How dare you call him junior brother? "
"Ah?
Dao Lord Scarlet Star was shocked.
In that case, he should address Mo Ling as Uncle-Master respectfully!
"How dare you teach your Uncle-Master Mo Ling a lesson? Are you trying to go against your master and destroy your ancestors?!" Hokkaidōjin hollered again.
Dao Lord Scarlet Star knelt on the ground with a thud in fright, wanting to cry but no tears came out.
Yet, he did not receive a single praise when he came in to deliver a stone. Instead, he was scolded and even had an Uncle-Master …
