Chapter 437: Let's Not Interfere in the Disciple's Matter

Meanwhile, Wei Xiang'an, wearing only a pair of underpants, knelt on the ground, barking like a dog over and over again.

The sight was somewhat comical.

The onlookers occasionally whispered among themselves.

"Who would have thought that our little demon of the Wushi Realm could be tamed by someone."

"Yes, yes, why do I suddenly feel so gratified?"

The disciples chattered away, and these words undoubtedly reached Wei Xiang'an's ears.

Wei Xiang'an turned his head and glared at those people; although he was now humble, it was only in relation to Lin Bai, and no one else was worthy.

The disciple who had been warned by that glare quickly shut his mouth, daring not to say another word.

"Feng Feng Yunzheng, Lin Bai is your disciple; do you just let him run wild like this?"

Lu Duan was already furious by now.

Early that morning, he had called Feng Feng Yunzheng to the Sect Master, hoping the Sect Master would judge the matter.

"Old Lu, what does this have to do with me?"

"Why are you so angry with me first thing in the morning?"

"This is simply a matter between disciples; you said we masters shouldn't interfere."

"Besides, you know Lin Bai is full of his own ideas; if a few words from me would have worked, I would have spoken up long ago."

Feng Feng Yunzheng wore an expression of difficulty.

Regardless of which side he was on, he seemed indifferent to the matter.

Although Lin Bai was his disciple, everyone knew better than he did how rebellious Lin Bai was.

Of course, he also felt quite gratified.

At the very least, the disciples on Green Shanfeng had bullied his own disciples more than once.

Why hadn't he seen Lu Duan so angry before?

He had even tried to intervene a few times, but Lu Duan had always refused, citing that it was a matter between disciples and he shouldn't interfere.

Now that his own disciple was being bullied, he was unhappy; where in the world are there so many good things?

"Sect Master, look, if this gets out, won't it disgrace the face of our Wushi Realm?"

Seeing that he couldn't reason with Feng Feng Yunzheng, Lu Duan simply turned his gaze to the Sect Master.

It was the old man from back then.

"Old Lu, you shouldn't make things difficult for the Sect Master."

"The Sect Master has so many things to worry about every day; if he had to deal with every little matter."

"Then the Sect Master would have nothing else to do all day."

Feng Feng Yunzheng muttered.

Of course, these were the very words Lu Duan had once said to him; he was simply returning them in full.

Oh my, why do I suddenly feel a bit pleased?

"Yes, Old Lu, the Sect Master shouldn't interfere in this matter either."

"Isn't this just a bet between Lin Bai and Wei Xiang'an themselves?"

"One must accept the consequences of a bet; no one forced Wei Xiang'an, did they?"

At this, the Fairy of Qinghua spoke up slowly.

Of course, hearing that Lu Duan had gone to find Feng Feng Yunzheng and come to the Sect Master, the others from the other peaks also rushed over.

They had come purely to watch the spectacle.

Green Shanfeng had often boasted and bullied in front of these main peaks.

Everyone had long been dissatisfied with them.

Now that there was an opportunity, they naturally began to fan the flames.

"Sect Master."

Lu Duan did not want to speak to these people and fixed his gaze on the Sect Master.

The Sect Master frowned.

"Old Lu, you know that coming to me now is of no use."

"Wei Xiang'an is already kneeling beneath Green Phoenix Peak; by the time you've finished arguing here, the bet will likely already be over."

The Sect Master did not wish to favor anyone nor protect anyone; he was merely stating a fact.

Feng Feng Yunzheng simply shrugged and raised an eyebrow to indicate that the Sect Master was right.

In the end, Lu Duan could only stew in his anger alone.

Seeing the other's frustrated expression, the Fairy of Qinghua and the others covered their mouths and giggled.

Finally, Lu Duan, in a fit of anger, swept his sleeves and left the hall.

After the other party had left, everyone except the Sect Master burst into laughter.

It was not that the Sect Master did not want to laugh, but with the Elders present, he could only hold it in.

"Alright, you should all go back now."

"In the future, keep your own disciples in check; don't let them make blind bets with others."

"Or else they might find themselves unable to accept the loss."

The Sect Master's single remark silenced everyone present.

They all bowed farewell to the Sect Master and left the hall.

"Feng Feng Yunzheng, wait a moment."

Just as Feng Feng Yunzheng was about to leave, the Sect Master's voice sounded from behind.

Feng Feng Yunzheng felt a slight displeasure; he had intended to return and watch the spectacle.

He didn't know what this old fellow wanted with him.

Nevertheless, he forced a smile, turned his head, and looked at the Sect Master.

"Sect Master, what is it? Do you have something else?"

If not, don't waste my time.

Of course, the second half of that sentence was swallowed back into his belly.

"Don't act like nothing happened; talk more about Lin Bai."

"Although he is a rare genius, you cannot spoil him like this."

"I have already heard about him returning yesterday and dealing with Old Li."

"That Old Li came straight to me and nagged for half a day; I can't stand this much longer."

The Sect Master said with earnest, heartfelt words.

Just thinking about how Old Li had nagged him for the duration of half an incense stick yesterday made him wince; had he not found an excuse, the other man might have nagged him all day.

Just thinking about it gave him a headache; instantly, he felt that being Sect Master was too difficult.

"Understood, Sect Master. I'll go first."

Feng Feng Yunzheng nodded and, without waiting for the Sect Master to speak, quickly fled the great hall.

He truly feared that if he was even a step slow, he would miss the spectacle.

On this side, Lin Bai, following Wang Wang Yuping, had already reached the foot of the mountain.

Seeing Seeing Wei Xiang kneeling there, repeatedly imitating a dog's bark, he walked forward.

Upon seeing Lin Bai approach, all the disciples consciously made way for Lin Bai and his companion.

"Enough, get up."

Lin Bai said softly.

Originally, he had only been displeased with the other party; he hadn't expected the other to be a gentleman after all, willing to accept the consequences of a bet.

Given that the other party's attitude and performance were good, Lin Bai did not wish to quarrel with him excessively.

After all, they were fellow disciples; as long as the other party did not do anything outrageous in the future.

Lin Bai was not willing to quarrel with the other party over so much.

"Do you mean it?"

Seeing Wei Xiang widened his eyes; he had only learned to bark thirty or forty times.
