"Grand Deacon, I …"
This outer court deacon's face was slapped by the Grand Deacon, causing half of his face to instantly swell up. His mind buzzed and he saw stars, but he didn't feel the slightest pain, and his heart was filled with immense and boundless terror.
He'd worked under the Grand Deacon for almost 20 years, and no matter what the Grand Deacon faced, the Grand Deacon would always be indifferent and indifferent, giving others an unfathomable feeling. Moreover, the Grand Deacon had never lost his composure. But now, the Grand Deacon was completely out of character. He burst into rage, and the formidable aura of an Exalt Realm exploded out, causing the outer court deacon to be instantly terrified to the extreme and almost collapse!
"Deacon Li, quickly chase after the Outer Court Disciple Lin Buzheng. No matter what request he makes, try your best to satisfy it. You must not let him feel resentment towards this matter, and don't make a big deal out of it."
The Grand Deacon paid no attention to this outer court deacon, and he turned around decisively to instruct another outer court deacon by his side with an unprecedentedly solemn tone.
"Yes!"
This Deacon Li realized the severity of the problem, so he put down everything he was dealing with and ran out of the stone hall at the fastest speed possible, and he tried to catch up to Lin Buzheng in the shortest amount of time possible.
Along with the departure of this outer court deacon, the sound of his footsteps gradually became softer, and the entire stone hall instantly fell into a deathly silence.
A clever outer court deacon stood up and drove away all the Outer Court Disciples in the hall before closing the heavy stone door. Instantly, only the Grand Deacon and a few outer court deacons remained in the enormous stone hall.
The outer court deacon that offended Lin Buzheng had half of his face swollen up, and blood mixed with saliva flowed out from his mouth. But he didn't dare stretch out his hand to wipe it, and he was terrified to the extreme in his heart. He stood on the spot like a statue and didn't dare move in the slightest.
"Are you unconvinced? Do you think my actions and words from before contradict each other, and I'm going back on my word? So I shouldn't slap you?"
Amidst a practically suffocating silence, the Grand Deacon spoke indifferently. The rage and seriousness from before had vanished, and he'd calmed down and recovered his usual carefree appearance.
"I don't dare."
This outer court deacon spoke in a low voice, and his voice trembled without end, revealing the terror and uneasiness in his heart.
"This slap is to teach you a lesson for looking down on others."
"What kind of status does Young Master Lin have? Is he someone that a small outer sect steward like you can offend?"
The Head Deacon said lightly, glancing at the Deacon, his eyes filled with mockery. "What I've said before about how to act and how to advance and retreat are the rules of survival for all mortals. But Sir Lin is no ordinary person. You are like a shining star, high up in the clouds. Why would you need to abide by the rules of the mundane world?"
At this point, the chief deacon glanced at the outer sect deacon and said, "I know what you're thinking. You think that this person has offended Elder Chu's grandson, Chu Fantian, during the mountain ascension test, and was then punished by Elder Lei. You think that his future in the sect is incomparably dark, and it won't be long before he'll be expelled from the sect. You can treat this person however you like."
"But have you ever thought that if this person is really as bad as you think he is, how would he dare to make an enemy of Chu Fantian? With Young Master Chu's personality, why would he give up on attacking Sir Lin just because of a few words of warning from Elder Lei? "
"In fact, young master Chu's grandfather, Elder Chu, has countless capable subordinates in the sect, and his influence permeates all twelve peaks. Yet, not a single one of them has done anything to stand up for young master Chu. Don't you understand what this means?"
Listening to the Head Deacon's incisive analysis, the Outer Deacon's eyes widened in disbelief. Sweat poured down his forehead like rain. "Could it be …"
"That's right. This Young Master Lin also has people behind him!"
The Head Deacon did not wait for the Outer Deacon's reply and continued, "Furthermore, the people behind Lin Buzheng are powerful, no weaker than Elder Chu. That's why he can attack Young Master Chu without fear."
"If a normal martial artist does not abide by the rules of the mundane world, then they are overestimating themselves and seeking their own death. But Young Master Lin has the backing of a powerful figure in the Sect. What does he have to fear?"
"If anyone dares to stand in Young Master Lin's way, they will all be crushed to death. Young Master Lin does not need to abide by any rules. He is the rule himself!"
"Elder Lei's action of punishing Young Master Lin has already given you enough hints."
"If it was a normal martial artist who attacked others during the trial, he would have been expelled by Elder Lei immediately and lost the right to participate in the trial. If Elder Lei cherished talent and made an exception to let him enter the Sect, he would definitely be a good person to the end. He would be lenient and let bygones be bygones for his reckless behavior during the trial."
"However, after Elder Lei let him into the Sect, he personally punished both Lin Buzheng and Chu Fantian. He even suppressed Lin Buzheng's ranking on the Outer Disciple Ranking to the last place. This undoubtedly means that in Elder Lei's eyes, Lin Buzheng is not an insignificant person. On the contrary, Lin Buzheng needs to be suppressed by Elder Lei personally."
"Considering Elder Lei's status in the Sect, he is not even afraid of the Sect Leader. Now that he has personally suppressed a junior who has just entered the Outer Disciple Ranking, it undoubtedly means that in Elder Lei's eyes, Young Master Lin's status and position has reached a level that even he cannot ignore. If he does not personally take action, then no one in the entire Outer Disciple Ranking has the right to punish Young Master Lin!"
If Lin Buzheng was here, he would definitely be dumbfounded by the Head Deacon's words.
During the entrance examination, he had only brazenly attacked Chu Fantian because he couldn't bear to see Chu Fantian's tyrannical style of affecting others. But from the mouth of the chief deacon, he had shockingly become a young master of an aristocratic family who relied on the fact that he had a backer to go on a rampage during the examination and attack unscrupulously.
However, apart from Lin Buzheng's motive for attacking, the Head Deacon had analyzed most of the other matters meticulously. It was enough to show that the Head Deacon had a sharp mind. It was not without reason that he could become the Head Deacon of the Outer Disciple Ranking.
"May I know who is Young Master Lin's backing in the Sect?" After a short moment of silence, an Outer Disciple Ranking Deacon asked out of curiosity.
The Head Deacon faintly glanced at the person and said, "There's no harm in telling you. It's Elder Su Lie."
"Hiss, Young Master Lin's backing is actually Elder Su!"
"Elder Su is not only terrifyingly powerful, but he is also famous for being protective. With Elder Su as Young Master Lin's backing, no wonder even Chu Fantian dared to provoke him!"
Upon hearing this, the Outer Disciple Ranking Deacon at the scene was instantly speechless. They were extremely shocked by the strength of Lin Buzheng's backing. At this moment, the Outer Disciple Ranking Deacon who had offended Lin Buzheng was so scared that his body was trembling at this moment, and he could not say a word.
"The reason why I can be the Head Deacon of the Outer Disciple for a hundred years is not only because of Elder Lei's kindness, but also because I know who I can afford to offend and who I can't. I have never caused any trouble for Elder Lei, so I can sit in this position until now."
"The so-called wisdom of the world is important, but in front of a real big shot, it is nothing at all. He can easily tear apart all your relationships and erase you from the world."
As the Head Deacon spoke, he looked at the Outer Disciple Ranking Deacon who had offended Lin Buzheng and said, "It's a pity that your eyesight is not good enough, and you have offended a big shot that you can never afford to offend. Leave the Outer Disciple Ranking Hall by yourself!"
"As for the others, no matter what requests Young Master Lin has in the future, try your best to satisfy them. Don't neglect Chu Fantian's requests, but the Deacon Hall cannot be involved in the battle between the two. Do you understand?"
"Yes!"
