Xiao Lingyi did not expect Lin Fan to be so kind as to plead for him. But when he heard Lin Fan's last sentence, his eyes bulged and turned bloodshot.
"You're so cruel." Xiao Lingyi looked up at Lin Fan in disbelief.
Lin Fan frowned at Xiao Lingyi. Cruel?
This was something that didn't exist at all. It seemed like the other party still didn't understand my intentions. How many outstanding geniuses had fallen from the pinnacle? After which, they worked hard and started to defy the heavens.
It's a pity that Xiao Lingyi is not that kind of person.
Lin Fan had already thought it through. If Xiao Lingyi were to be crippled of his cultivation and kicked out of the sect, he would definitely kill him and loot his corpse.
"Hmph!" Elder Tian Xu snorted. Xiao Lingyi lowered his head in fear.
If Elder Tian Xu were to suppress him, no one would stand up for him. Xiao Lingyi could only beg for Elder Tian Xu's forgiveness.
He did not expect Lin Fan to be so cunning as to trap him.
He only said it out of anger when he said that he would kill his entire family.
It would be fine if Elder Tian Xu did not hear him. But who would have thought that Elder Tian Xu had been hiding here all this while?
Elder Huo Rong was loyal to the sect, and Xiao Lingyi was one of the pillars of the sect. It would be a loss to the sect if he were to be crippled.
But just when he was about to speak, someone beat him to it.
"Elder Tian Xu, please show mercy." A loud voice could be heard from afar. A man could be seen walking in the air and appearing beside Xiao Lingyi in the blink of an eye.
Seeing the man, Xiao Lingyi knelt on the ground. "Senior Brother Wan, save me..."
Wan Zhongtian looked at him coldly before looking away. "Elder Tian Xu, please let him go this time. If there's a next time, I'll do it myself. I won't trouble Elder Tian Xu."
"You must be Junior Brother Lin. You're indeed a dragon among men. You're neither humble nor arrogant. I hope Junior Brother will not take it to heart."
The leader of Zhongtian Peak, Wan Zhongtian, came personally to protect Xiao Lingyi.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Wan." Liu Ruochen walked up to Wan Zhongtian.
Wan Zhongtian looked at Liu Ruochen and couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. Tragic, indeed tragic. He then looked at Lin Fan. This Junior Brother of his was really ruthless.
But to him, Liu Ruochen wasn't important. What was important was the bond between Liu Ruochen and the Saint Convent Sect.
"Junior Sister Liu, you must keep this matter in mind. Don't be so reckless in the future." Wan Zhongtian said. As the leader of Zhongtian Peak, Liu Ruochen naturally had to be extremely respectful when she saw him.
Liu Ruochen knew that there was nothing she could do to change this matter. In the end, she nodded and said, "I will remember senior brother's teachings."
At this moment, Wan Zhongtian turned to Xiao Lingyi, who was kneeling on the ground. "Hurry up and get up to apologize to Elder Tian Xu and Junior Brother Lin. If you dare to shoot your mouth off again, there's no need for your mouth to exist anymore."
Xiao Lingyi's body trembled and his fingers trembled. "Yes, Senior Brother."
The spectating disciples felt as if they were dreaming. Not only did they see the Elders, who were rarely seen in the past, but they also saw Senior Brother Wan of the Sky Culmination Peak.
When Wan Zhongtian arrived, Lin Fan did not say a word. Instead, he kept sizing up the man in front of him. Wan Zhongtian is good-looking, full of energy, and he has an arrogant aura. An expert is indeed an expert. It's not as simple as it sounds.
I won this matter with my mouth and my backing. If I want to do whatever I want, I have to rely on my strength.
But having a mouth and a backing are also a form of strength, so there's nothing wrong with that.
But to Lin Fan, this guy is too presumptuous. It's as if he's the host and can control everything.
This guy deserves a beating.
Huo Rong sighed as he looked at Wan Zhongtian, who was handling the matter in an orderly manner. He knew that Tian Xu was already angry.
He had known Tian Xu since they were young. How could he not know what kind of person Tian Xu was?
Wan Zhongtian had been looking confident all along. He stood proudly with his hands behind his back, looking at the crowd. As the leader of Zhongtian Peak, he naturally had an aura that ordinary people did not have.
Xiao Lingyi stood in front of Elder Tian Xu and Lin Fan and lowered his head. "Disciple knows his mistake. Please forgive me, Elder and Junior Brother."
Elder Tian Xu did not say a word. He looked at Xiao Lingyi calmly.
Wan Zhongtian nodded and raised his head. "Zhongtian shall not disturb Elder and Junior Brother any further. I will punish you severely when I return."
Just then, Elder Tian Xu, who had been motionless all this while, moved. He raised his hand and grabbed Wan Zhongtian's head.
Wan Zhongtian had goosebumps all over his body. In his eyes, Elder Tian Xu's casual move had covered everything, freezing the space around him. He could not move at all.
Piak!
Elder Tian Xu's hand landed on Wan Zhongtian's head and patted it lightly. He looked calm, but there was a chilling aura coming from him.
"Wan Zhongtian, you've grown up."
Even though it was only six words, it was like thunder in Wan Zhongtian's ears, causing him to break out in cold sweat. His throat moved, and he was extremely nervous.
"Back then, you knelt down and begged me to take you in as my disciple when you saw me. Now that you're the leader of Zhongtian Peak, you can be so calm when you see me. I'm very pleased." Elder Tian Xu said calmly, patting Wan Zhongtian's head as if he was praising him.
But for Wan Zhongtian, he had suddenly come to a realization. Ever since he had become a Peak Master, he had always felt like he was looking down on everyone else in the world. This was especially the case with the prestige that he had accumulated over the years. It was as though he could make decisions for everything.
If he was facing an ordinary elder, he would indeed be able to make any decision with his status. But now, he was facing Elder Tian Xu. He suddenly realized that he had made a grave mistake.
Lin Fan was very relaxed now. He dug his ear and said casually, "Master, disciple feels that he's very presumptuous."
Elder Tian Xu let out a smile. "Disciple, Master will teach you a lesson today. Before you have absolute power, remember not to go beyond what you are capable of."
"Master, disciple will remember." Lin Fan nodded calmly.
Elder Tian Xu might have said this to Lin Fan, but to Wan Zhongtian, it sounded like Elder Tian Xu was saying it to him.
"Elder, I …" Wan Zhongtian's arrogant aura suddenly dissipated.
Elder Tian Xu did not say much. He only shot a glance at Wan Zhongtian, scaring Wan Zhongtian so much that he dropped to his knees.
"Elder, please forgive me. Zhongtian knows his mistake." Wan Zhongtian lowered his head immediately. He finally realized that his current position was nothing in Elder Tian Xu's eyes.
The ten peaks were fighting for the position of Patriarch. In the eyes of ordinary disciples, they were superior.
But in Elder Tian Xu's eyes, what were they?
Nothing at all.
Seeing Senior Brother Wan kneeling, how could Xiao Lingyi remain standing? He knelt down immediately as well.
Elder Tian Xu stopped and turned to Lin Fan. "Disciple, you passed the inner disciple assessment yesterday. Have you gone to collect your inner disciple items?"
"Master, no. It happened so early in the morning. I didn't even have the time."
"Then let's go and collect our inner disciple items," Elder Tian Xu said.
"Yes, Master."
Lin Fan had long returned to his normal height. He looked at Wan Zhongtian, who was kneeling on the ground, and chuckled to himself.
Master is so domineering. I didn't see that. I was almost fooled by his appearance.
Lin Fan is acting cool more naturally than me. It seems like I still have a lot to learn.
Lin Fan and Elder Tian Xu walked away, side by side, while Qin Shan followed behind.
Their figures disappeared into the distance, but their voices could still be heard.
"Master, how long are they going to kneel? Will it be next year?"
"Tomorrow."
"Oh, what a pity."
