Chapter 496: Don't Go Too Far

Long Zhenzhong frowned, looking at the Sect Master with no better expression.

"I don't understand what you mean. My disciple just arrived; what could he possibly do?"

"Don't slander me with blood in your mouth."

Seeing the other party came with ill intent, clearly targeting Lin Bai and the others, the Sect Master immediately put on a serious expression.

He looked at the other party with an expression that said, "My people are under my protection; do not slander them."

"Oh, then why don't you ask your disciple what he actually did?"

"I came this time to have him quickly undo these spells on my disciple; otherwise, don't blame the Long Cave Ancient Land for being impolite."

Long Zhenzhong looked at the Sect Master, who was protecting his own like a mother hen; his face turned extremely ugly, and then he shifted his gaze to Lin Bai and the others.

Of course, he did not know which one among them was the old master.

Yet his eyes intentionally or unintentionally drifted toward Lin Bai.

Although the face was unfamiliar, he could not see anything formidable about this man.

"Master, it is this man who turned junior brother and the others into this childlike state."

Long Aotian, seeing he could speak, quickly pointed at Lin Bai with his eyes.

His expression seemed to say, "Under no circumstances should you let him go."

At this moment, the Sect Master and the others also fixed their gaze on Lin Bai, even showing puzzled expressions; only Feng Yunzheng remained so calm.

"I suppose you are the Sect Master of the Long Cave Valley; this junior greets you."

"However, I wonder if your disciple has made the situation clear to you?"

Lin Bai raised an eyebrow, looking completely calm, feeling no fear at all, and instead fixed his gaze on Long Aotian.

Upon hearing Lin Bai's words, Long Zhenzhong's expression changed slightly; could there be some hidden story in this?

But no matter what, the other party could not lay a hand on his disciples.

"Master, don't be bewitched by him. Look, his people are all fine over there, which proves I didn't make a move."

"Look at us junior brothers; we are all his doing."

Fearing Lin Bai might say something, Long Aotian, with a tense face, quickly used facts to prove to everyone that he indeed had not made a move against the disciples of the Wushi Land.

On the contrary, it was they themselves who suffered the loss.

"That is because you lack skill; who is to blame?"

Lin Bai was not polite at all; it seemed he had been too polite to Long Aotian back then. He should have given the other party a lesson to stop him from talking nonsense here.

"Long Aotian, don't push it too far. It was clearly you who provoked us of the Wushi Land first. We were just walking along peacefully; it was clearly you who came up and started pestering us."

"We originally did not intend to hold it against you, but who knew that after arriving at the inn, you actually planned to make a move on me, so my senior brother, unable to stand it, took action."

"Dare you say these are not facts?"

Seeing Long Aotian talk nonsense, Wang Yuping instantly became angry and quickly stepped forward to speak for Lin Bai.

After all, if the other party had not started the trouble first, his senior brother would not have made a move on them.

"Exactly, exactly. It was clearly your disciples of the Long Cave Valley who provoked us first; how can you now reverse the roles and have the villain accuse first?"

Wei Xiang'an then hid in front of Lin Bai, adopting a posture that said, "If you dare make a move, I dare fight you."

"Is this the attitude of your disciples of the Wushi Land toward their elders?"

Long Zhenzhong frowned; no matter what, he was the Sect Master of the Long Cave Valley, and now these juniors dared to speak disrespectfully to him.

"Wang Yuping, Wei Xiang'an, Lin Bai, do not be rude."

The Sect Master frowned; he basically had a general understanding of the matter. However, this was after all in the Mirror of Celestial Immortals, so it was not good to fight, especially since several Men Sects had mutual constraints.

If this affected the relationship between the two Zong Sects, there would be no benefit; even if they fought to the death behind the scenes, they could not let others laugh at them on the surface.

However, the Sect Master was also protective of his own, and he could hear a bit from Lin Bai and the others' words.

"Long Zhenzhong, I suppose you have also heard that it was your disciple who started the trouble first."

"However, since these people are disciples of our Wushi Land, naturally, we will have him undo it for you."

"But how do you account for your disciple provoking our Wushi Land disciples?"

The Sect Master raised an eyebrow, making it very clear: undoing it for you is not impossible, but you must show some gesture.

After all, his disciples could not suffer this loss for nothing.

"Long Aotian, apologize."

Long Zhenzhong was naturally able to consider the overall situation, and from the previous words, he basically heard that it was his troublesome disciple who innocently started the trouble.

Even if he was protective of his own, since this matter happened within his own family, he could not say much.

So he could only fix his gaze on Long Aotian, making Long Aotian apologize to Lin Bai and the others.

"Master, it was clearly,,."

"Apologize quickly."

Long Aotian was extremely unconvinced, but seeing that Long Zhenzhong had no intention of speaking for him anymore, he was like a deflated ball and could only look fiercely at Lin Bai and the others.

Lin Bai, Wang Yuping, and Wei Xiang'an stood still in place, with smiles seemingly lingering on their lips.

It was as if they were saying to the other party, "If you have the ability, be arrogant again; I want to see what you can do to us."

0.... 0

"Sorry."

Long Aotian squeezed the words out between his teeth, but the sound was like a mosquito's.

"What did you say? I didn't hear."

Lin Bai rubbed his ears and leaned a bit closer toward the other party.

"I said sorry."

Long Aotian's voice rose slightly from before; though not by much, it was at least audible.

"Did you two hear what he just said? What's wrong with my ears today? They feel so uncomfortable, I can't hear clearly."

Lin Bai dug his finger into his ear again, then looked innocently at Wang Yuping and Wei Xiang.

"Senior Brother, don't say you didn't hear it; I didn't hear it either."

"These ears really need checking at the foot of the mountain after the competition ends."

Wei Xiang nodded, mimicking the same action as Lin Bai.

Long Aotian was about to explode with rage.

He knew perfectly well these people were doing it on purpose, but seeing his Sect Master sitting there unmoved, as if he had no intention of speaking up for him, he knew.

Today, he had to apologize, whether he wanted to or not.

Finally, in a fit of anger, he shouted the three words "I'm sorry" loudly at Lin Bai and the others.

"Mm, I heard it this time."

"Sect Master Hu, then have your people come to me."

Lin Bai nodded in satisfaction, not forgetting to glare at Long Aotian before shifting his gaze to Long Zhenzhong.

Long Zhenzhong glanced at Lin Bai, then immediately stepped aside.
