Chapter 593: Resentment of Ku Muhai
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
A few core disciples of the Zenith Heaven Hall walked forward and were about to take down his beloved disciples.
Ku Muhai walked out with a gloomy face and pleaded, “Senior Brother Qi, it’s my fault for offending Lord Deity. I apologize to Your Highness here. However, it’s said that the ignorant are innocent. My disciples are only following orders. They don’t know the identity of the Deity. I hope Senior Brother will spare their lives on account of their youth and ignorance.”
Qi Huan had already achieved his goal when he heard these words. However, he was also an actor. He turned around and sneered at Ku Muhai. “Hmm… What you said makes sense. Those who don’t know can’t be blamed. On account of their conscientiousness all these years, they have worked hard even if they didn’t contribute.
“Death could be exempt, but punishment is inevitable. How about this, I’ll punish them to go to the forbidden land and face the wall for a hundred years.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Ku Muhai’s expression became even more terrifying. Qi Huan sent his beloved disciples to the forbidden land to face the wall for a hundred years with just a few words. Not only could it suppress his arrogance, but it also made him lose a few right-hand men.!!
However, at this point, Ku Muhai was helpless and could only nod in tacit agreement. It was already good enough to save their lives. How could he dare to have any other thoughts? He couldn’t help but resent Ye Qiu even more. Because of him, he gave Qi Huan an excuse to suppress him.
Qi Huan was secretly delighted when he saw his expression. He had long wanted to deal with this Ku Muhai, but he had never had a reason. This old thing relied on his strength to be arrogant and domineering. He even looked down on him.
All these years, the First Elder did not take charge and had always handed the matters of the sect to Qi Huan to manage. He had always been very unconvinced. He had always wanted to take over this right and control the entire Heaven Mending Pavilion.
Qi Huan had always seen his ambition. However, this old fox was too cautious and he had never found an excuse to suppress him. He didn’t expect Ye Qiu to coincidentally give him this opportunity today.
“Haha!” Qi Huan was secretly delighted. He then looked at Ye Qiu and said, “Are you satisfied with this?” It was difficult for Ye Qiu not to see through his thoughts with that scheming gaze. The anger in his heart also decreased a lot.
“Hmm… Yes.” Ye Qiu didn’t continue to answer. He maintained his calm demeanor and didn’t show his emotions. Ordinary people really couldn’t tell what he was thinking.
At this moment, Ku Muhai was very unhappy because he had suffered a huge loss just now and walked forward. He asked, “I wonder what instructions Lord Deity has for visiting today?”
As soon as this question was asked, the others also looked over. Yes, they were also curious. This elusive Deity had never appeared in front of everyone after he called himself a Deity. Why did he suddenly appear at this disciple recruitment ceremony today?
Ye Qiu looked at him indifferently and said coldly, “Not really. It’s just that the First Elder specially instructed me to choose a few disciples from my cave abode.”
“What!”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked. He actually wanted to take in a disciple?
Ku Muhai almost laughed out loud when he heard this. It wasn’t that he looked down on Ye Qiu, but he was too young. A person with unknown strength who became a Deity for some reason really thought that he was some otherworldly expert and actually wanted to take in a disciple?
Ku Muhai immediately laughed in his heart, as if he had seen a chance to regain his dignity. His tone was filled with mockery as he said, “I didn’t expect Your Highness to be so proficient in Dao techniques at such a young age. You’ve already begun to take in disciples?
“I’m ashamed. I’ve cultivated for tens of thousands of years and have tens of thousands of disciples, but I haven’t taught any ancient geniuses. Looks like I have to consult Your Highness when I have time.”
Although he said it politely, his heart was filled with disdain. He really didn’t know what the First Elder was thinking. Was he old and muddle-headed? He wanted a brat who was still wet behind the ears to take in disciples?
What a joke. Were all the elders of the Heaven Mending Pavilion dead? Why did he have to use a kid when there were so many capable people?
Ye Qiu could hear the sarcasm in his words and didn’t care. This plot was more or less familiar! It seemed like he really had to consult Qi Wuhui when he had time. Back then, Qi Wuhui was also mocking him like this. Unfortunately, his face hurt too much and he became autistic.
Ye Qiu smiled and said calmly, “Haha, you flatter me. My cultivation is still shallow. I’m lucky to have the First Elder’s favor. I’m extremely grateful for this honor. Since the First Elder trusts me so much, I will definitely teach them with all my might. As for whether I can really teach a peerless genius, only heaven knows.”
Ye Qiu was humble and low-key. He didn’t go overboard because he didn’t want to give the other party a chance to fire. Don’t worry, his smug expression now would definitely be very ugly in the future.
Ye Qiu indeed didn’t dare to say that he could definitely teach a heaven-defying disciple, but with the help of the system, it was still quite simple to suppress the Flower Burial lineage.
“Oh? Then I’ll wait and see.” Ku Muhai smiled faintly, as if he had already seen Ye Qiu’s joke and was preparing to mock him and regain his dignity.
The two of them echoed each other. The atmosphere in the hall was extremely strange. Everyone was looking at the two of them, wanting to see how they would fight.
“Damn it, this old man is full of evil tricks. He must be thinking about how to get back at him.” Looking at Ku Muhai’s sinister expression, the innocent Princess Yaya couldn’t help but worry for Ye Qiu.
However, after a long time, she realized that she was actually the one she should be most worried about. As the princess of a country, if no one chose her today, she would be integrated into the outer sect and climb up from scratch. What would outsiders think of her father? She couldn’t help but feel disappointed and depressed.
She did not expect the competition of this Heaven Mending Pavilion to be so serious. At home, she was a rare genius. When she came here, she actually fell to the point where no one greeted her.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting stranger, Qi Huan immediately said, “Alright, the disciple recruitment ceremony continues.”
Because Ye Qiu came late previously, most of the talented disciples had already been chosen by the other elders. Qi Huan originally wanted to start over and let Ye Qiu choose first to prevent him from suffering.
However, Ye Qiu raised his hand and refused. He didn’t care about talent when taking in disciples. Since those people had already been chosen, he might as well choose from the remaining people.
When the elders saw this situation, they wanted to laugh even more. They firmly believed that Ye Qiu really didn’t know anything. Every elder present was an elder with countless disciples and deep experience. They all knew this very well.
There was really a huge difference between this genius and a fool.
They were originally worried that Ye Qiu would pick their chosen disciple, but they didn’t expect Ye Qiu to not even look. They were even more delighted and were already prepared to see Ye Qiu make a fool of himself.
“Haha, this kid is really young and frivolous.”
