Chapter 923: Is he really your disciple?

~7 min read 1,362 words

Most of the onlookers didn't believe it. What kind of status was Elder Su? How could he accept a fourth-grade bounty hunter?

Now that Qiao Yuqing had no proof, and it was impossible for her to really run to verify with Elder Su because of such a small matter, it didn't matter what she said.

"Qiao Yuqing, you really used all means to protect your lover!" Wu Wannian said with a mocking tone. "Why should I believe you? Without proof, you say he is Elder Su's disciple, so he is?"

"I think your guts are getting bigger and bigger, actually daring to use Elder Su as a shield for you. If you are willing to admit your mistake now, I and the Supervision Department can still not pursue it. Otherwise, if this makes a scene to Elder Su, you, a disciple who just entered the door, will also be swept out!"

Elder Su was cold and arrogant. Unless it was a student with extremely high talent, he wouldn't even look at them, regardless of what background they had.

Especially after his precious disciple Yun Mufeng went missing, his temper and personality became even more strange, and his conditions for accepting disciples became very harsh.

It was said that Yun Mufeng broke many records of the villa that year and was once hailed as the number one genius student.

But with Yun Mufeng's disappearance, Yun Hexian entered the villa, refreshed all the legends created by Yun Mufeng that year, and became the new myth of the Profound Turtle Tang family's mountain villa.

And Yun Hexian's mentor was a high-level elder who had always been at odds with Elder Su. The two had been fighting openly and secretly for decades, but because of Yun Mufeng's disappearance, that elder completely occupied the upper hand and even divided up quite a few of Elder Su's connections and resources.

Currently, there were disciples with good talent under Elder Su, but compared to Yun Hexian, they weren't worth mentioning, which also made Yun Hexian's master even more proud, often running to Elder Su to brag about how promising his own disciple was.

If Elder Su accepted a fourth-grade bounty hunter at such a time, wouldn't he be throwing his own face on the ground and letting Yun Hexian's master step on it...

Xu Tian originally hadn't paid attention to the words of others around him, but when he heard the three words "Yun Mufeng," he realized that Elder Su was actually Yun Mufeng's mentor.

That also meant that Elder Su was also his master...

And he also heard that Elder Su had been hit hard because of Yun Mufeng's disappearance and had been depressed for so many years.

Elder Su could only watch helplessly as his records were broken one by one by Yun Hexian, watching Yun Hexian become a legend of the Profound Turtle Tang family's mountain villa, and then being wantonly ridiculed by his opponent.

Xu Tian clenched his fists. This Yun Hexian was a white-eyed wolf that couldn't be fed.

If he hadn't saved him and brought him back to the Yun family, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to stir up trouble now.

"Nonsense, he is a disciple of a high-level elder? Simply speaking nonsense, why not take the person down?"

Just at this moment, a cold-faced youth walked into the crowd.

He glanced at Xu Tian very arrogantly, and then looked at the crowd.

"He absolutely cannot be a disciple of an elder."

Seeing the person come, the crowd subconsciously straightened their waists and retreated a few steps.

The person who came was Hu Xiaofeng, a genius bounty hunter of the Profound Turtle Tang family's mountain villa. Now he could independently complete special-grade missions and had a prominent background, being the future successor of the Hu family.

Most importantly, this person was also accepted as a disciple by Elder Su's opponent and was Yun Hexian's direct junior brother.

Xu Tian felt that this person was in his memory. In his impression, he should have seen him when he first entered the Profound Turtle Tang family's mountain villa.

However, this person was arrogant and looked down on everyone, so Xu Tian's first impression of this person was extremely poor.

Hu Xiaofeng scanned Qiao Yuqing expressionlessly, a cold smile hooking on his lips, and then said to Wu Wannian.

"Hurry up and catch him, still waiting for me to do it myself?"

"Yes!" A flash of joy passed through Wu Wannian's eyes. He looked at Xu Tian gloatingly and prepared to let the members of the Supervision Department catch him and throw him into the dungeon.

And before they could make a move, a white-clothed old man walked in front of the crowd with his hands behind his back.

Seeing the old man, Qiao Yuqing walked up in two or three steps and bowed to salute.

"Master!"

"Rise." The old man nodded slightly.

"Elder Su! Elder Su actually appeared!"

A burst of exclamation erupted in the crowd.

"I've been in the villa for so long, and this is the first time I've had the opportunity to see Elder Su..."

"You've only been in the villa for a year, what does that count as? I've been in the villa for four years, and I haven't seen him before."

The fourth-grade bounty hunter looked at the old man not far away with reverence.

This person in front of him was one of the high-level elders of the Profound Turtle Tang family's mountain villa, Elder Su.

"But why did Elder Su come here? That kid wouldn't really be Elder Su's disciple, right?"

"Why would Elder Su accept a fourth-grade bounty hunter as a disciple?"

"Isn't this sending the handle to the opponent elder and letting him ridicule..."

Everyone discussed it, but their voices were very low, and no one dared to mention the matter of the disciple in front of Elder Su.

"Elder Su, if you have any instructions, just say it. Why did you come here personally?" The high-level member of the Supervision Department greeted him very unexpectedly.

However, Elder Su didn't pay attention to him, but beckoned to Xu Tian, his tone carrying an unquestionable strength.

"Still not coming over?"

Hearing this, Xu Tian immediately walked to Elder Su's side and said respectfully.

"Master."

Although there was no such old man in his memory, now that he knew the old man was his master, his mood was still a bit complicated.

How much Elder Su valued Yun Mufeng was something everyone in the Profound Turtle Tang family's mountain villa had heard of. It was precisely because he had poured too much effort into Yun Mufeng that he fell ill after Yun Mufeng went missing for no reason and Yun Hexian refreshed all his records and became the legendary new generation of the Profound Turtle Tang family's mountain villa.

Xu Tian looked at the old man with gray hair and a face full of traces of time, feeling a bit sour in his heart.

It was his unfilial behavior that made his master so sad.

"You want to send my disciple to the Supervision Department?" Elder Su was angry without being furious, his gaze sweeping over every member of the Supervision Department.

"He..."

Wu Wannian widened his eyes in astonishment, and Wu Qiankun also had a look of shock.

They never expected that this ordinary-looking newcomer who was completely inconspicuous was really Elder Su's disciple.

"Elder Su, is this kid really your disciple..."

The high-level member of the Supervision Department looked at Xu Tian and then at Elder Su, looking incredulous.

"Why, do you think I'm lying and deliberately shielding him?" Elder Su's face sank.

"No... your subordinate doesn't dare..." The high-level member of the Supervision Department hurriedly denied it.

However, even if Xu Tian was Elder Su's disciple, he had betrayed the villa and couldn't escape punishment.

This sentence wasn't spoken by the high-level member, but Hu Xiaofeng beside him said it without fear.

"Elder Su, even if this person is your disciple, he violated the villa's regulations and committed the act of absconding and betraying, so he must be severely punished!" ===== CHAPTER 924 =====
