Ascending, Do Not Disturb!

Chapter 15: Sky Sect?

“Anyone who enters Harmonious City must abide by Harmonious City’s rules. Forebear, please understand.” As the eldest of the apprentices present, Ling Hui stood at the front and said with a serious expression, ” While you are a guest, a guest must comply with the host. Forebear, please be gentler.”

No matter how lazy they were privately, as members of Splendid Cloud Sect, they would not tolerate bullying like this.

“Gentle?” A man’s voice came from inside the sedan. His voice was frivolous and arrogant. “You want me to be gentle to you? You are only a Base Building level ten female cultivator. You barely qualify to be my concubine.”

The words were a great insult, like a hoodlum on the street saying things about himself and some woman, and he was taking advantage.

The disciples of Splendid Cloud Sect were peaceful, but their faces darkened when they heard this.

“I’ve seen shameless people, but this is the first time I’ve seen such a shameless person.” Kong Hou heard what this Mind Manifestation Forebear said and immediately shot back, “We will scorn you for having a weak body and simple mind if you want to be a male escort for my shijie. When you look at the mirror, you are not able to see all of it, right?”

“Why?” Someone within the crowd shouted out the question.

“Because your face is too large, and the mirror cannot contain it all.” Kong Hou was just fourteen and she still spoke with some childishness. Even her insults were not obviously harsh.

Laughter came from around her. The citizens who were watching were hiding in the corners. The guards didn’t now which of them had laughed.

The other members of the sect hadn’t thought that Kong Hou would have a side like this, and they could not react immediately. The little shimei who usually laughed and appeared sweet had such a sharp tongue?

Kong Hou did not notice the expressions of the shixiong and shijie behind her. After joining Splendid Cloud Sect, she learned what was friendship in the sect. When she heard foreigners embarrassing members of her sect, she was exceptionally furious. Back in the imperial palace, when she had been young and had no support, she had ways to make those palace servants who bullied her so angry they were speechless. Now, she wasn’t that survivor of the previous dynasty who had no support.

“Brat, you dare to speak like that in front of me?” The person in the sedan most likely was used to being arrogant. Hearing Kong Hou’s words, he slapped his seat in anger. Waving his hand and tearing the sedan curtain, he flew out, so fast that Kong Hou could not see him clearly.

But she knew to run when she couldn’t win. When the other slapped the seat in anger, she smartly dodged to the side and threw out a thunder seal to stop the other’s attack.

“I wondered who dared to shout in front of me.” This Mind Manifestation Forebear looked extremely old, his wrinkles like the dry bark of a tree. Many people became more calm and easy-going when they grew old. Clearly, this Mind Manifestation cultivator did not belong to those ranks. His expression was dark, his features pinched together. He clearly did not look like an open-minded person.

“I thought that this was a great forebear—so it is a useless good-for-nothing made out of pills.” Ling Hui looked at the Mind Manifestation cultivator. “I wondered, as the famed Mind Manifestation Forebears of the major sects are all kind and rational people. They would not do such low things. So it is a person whose state of mind cannot even go…” She straightened her thumb and held her lifebond talisman.

She wasn’t a sword cultivator. Like Peak Master Qing Yuan, she was a pill cultivator, and her talisman was a fan. While her fan usually was used to fan the fire of the furnaces, at special times, a fire fanning could be of great effect.
