Chapter 3: It’s Never Too Late for a Villain’s Revenge
Lin Qingyue stopped in his tracks, looking at Yun Jinzhou and the group of disciples.
With a bundle in hand, he sized them up. “What do you want to say?”
“Senior Brother Lin, we are all fellow disciples. Why are your words so biting?”
Grandpa on the subway looking at his phone—it was pitiful that this group of people had hearing problems at such a young age.
If it were the old him, he might have helped a ninety-year-old grandma run a red light—ptui, no, help a ninety-year-old grandma cross the street.
But the current him was no longer the old him. He wasn’t so respectful of the old and cherishing of the young, or pitiful towards the weak and disabled.
Especially when it was a bunch of males. Lin Qingyue expressed: Ugly rejection.
The disciples behind Yun Jinzhou looked confused. What kind of expression is that? They looked at each other, then back at him.
“Lin Qingyue, what do you mean? Don’t think that just because you entered Guizang Peak you’re superior to others. Be careful you don’t get kicked out to the outer sect for failing to learn anything.”
“Who are you?”
Lin Qingyue looked baffled. “If you’re sick, go get treated. Why run in front of me? I’m not from Kurong Peak.”
Wanjian Sect had a total of nine major peaks, with smaller peaks beyond those.
Lin Qingyue’s Guizang Peak was most famous for its Forest of Ten Thousand Sword Tablets. Their peak’s sword techniques were the most ancient and the most difficult to learn. The requirements for accepting disciples were numerous, and few could learn them.
The Kurong Peak he mentioned was known for “One sword destroys vitality, one sword births all things.” As for how to understand “births all things,” the medical cultivators of Wanjian Sect were all on Kurong Peak.
“What exactly do you want to say? Hurry up, someone is waiting, I’m busy.” He was getting impatient. “As grown men, can you be straightforward? Why are you so wishy-washy when talking? Speak if you’re going to speak, otherwise I’m leaving.”
“Senior Brother Lin,” Yun Jinzhou called out to stop him. “I forgive you for what happened before. Now that you’ve gone to Guizang Peak, you must not be willful anymore.”
As he spoke, he smiled shyly, making Lin Qingyue shudder.
“Junior Brother Yun, you are just too kind. How is someone like him worthy of your forgiveness?”
The disciples beside Yun Jinzhou were dissatisfied, glaring at Lin Qingyue one by one.
“Exactly, Junior Brother Yun. You were kind enough to remind him, but he didn’t take your words to heart at all.”
“Junior Brother Yun, clearly he was the one who bullied you. Why should you be the first to apologize? He, Lin Qingyue, is a direct disciple of Guizang Peak, and you are also a direct disciple of Sword Dao Peak. There is no reason for you to back down.”
Several of them were filled with righteous indignation, as if he had dug up their ancestral graves.
Speaking of ancestral graves, Lin Qingyue was actually somewhat curious. Would anyone care about digging up ancestral graves here?
“What is all this noise about?”
Pei Yanshu and Shen Yunchuan walked into the courtyard and looked at Yun Jinzhou. “Junior Brother Yun, is he bullying you again?”
The two looked unkindly at Lin Qingyue, speaking coldly. “Apologize.”
Pei Yanshu and Shen Yunchuan were both dressed in direct disciple robes embroidered with gold edges and exquisite patterns. One was awe-inspiringly righteous, the other gentle as jade. They treated their junior brother Yun Jinzhou with immense affection.
Lin Qingyue looked at the pile of people in front of him and did not apologize.
Another bunch of baffling people. All sick in the head.
Suddenly, an invisible pressure weighed down on him. He frowned but stood firmly in place, refusing to apologize. Instead, resisting the pressure, he shouted:
“Eldest Senior Brother! Someone is bullying a fellow disciple!!!”
After shouting, Lin Qingyue had already made up his mind. If Ye Jingxian ignored him, he would definitely file a complaint with his master when he got back.
The next moment, the pressure on him vanished. Ye Jingxian walked in with a cold face, his eyes sweeping over everyone present one by one, finally resting on Lin Qingyue.
Despite having a face with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, he was as hard as a block of ice. A trace of disdain flashed in his eyes. “Useless.”
“Does no one here have a brain?” Ye Jingxian’s cold eyes swept over the others. “If you can’t remember the sect rules, go copy them ten times.”
Pei Yanshu: “We were not infighting, we did not violate sect rules.”
Ye Jingxian glanced at him indifferently. “If you want to fight, send a challenge letter to Guizang Peak. He will naturally wait for you at the Sword Dueling Platform.”
Lin Qingyue: ???
What does this have to do with me? Does Ye Jingxian have a grudge against me?
“Eldest Senior Brother, competing with them on the Sword Dueling Platform… what if they beat me to death? I don’t agree.”
Lin Qingyue took a step back and said to Yun Jinzhou and the others, “My Eldest Senior Brother says he will personally duel with you.”
Seeing that Ye Jingxian didn’t refute this, Pei Yanshu frowned. “If we win the duel, Lin Qingyue must apologize to Junior Brother Yun.”
Yun Jinzhou tugged at his sleeve. “Senior Brother Pei, it’s fine. If Senior Brother Lin doesn’t want to apologize, then forget it. I forgive him.”
“No, do you have a persecution complex?” Lin Qingyue rolled his eyes. “What did I do to you? Did I hit you or curse at you? Why on earth should I apologize?”
One sick person wasn’t enough, now there’s a whole pile of them.
Shen Yunchuan: “During the selection trial, didn’t you bully Junior Brother Yun?”
Lin Qingyue raised his chin and raised an eyebrow, asking, “Then tell me, how did I bully him?”
Pei Yanshu’s tone was cold and stern. “You know clearly what you did.”
Why should I admit to something I didn’t do? Besides, the plot has barely started. Have I done anything bad yet? Apologize for what?
Want Lin Qingyue to apologize? Go eat shit.
“Do you all have too much free time?” Ye Jingxian furrowed his brows slightly, revealing a hint of impatience. “Since you can’t explain clearly, then come with me to the Discipline Hall. The elders there will naturally determine right from wrong.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent. The Discipline Hall belonged to the Sword Punishment Division; no disciple of the Wanjian Sect wanted to go there.
“No.” Yun Jinzhou was the first to shout, pulling Pei Yanshu and Shen Yunchuan back. “We aren’t going to the Discipline Hall. It’s just a small matter, how can we trouble the elders? If the two Senior Brothers are punished by Master because of me, Jinzhou will feel guilty.”
“Junior Brother Yun.”
“Junior Brother Yun.”
“Hey, are you leaving or not?” Lin Qingyue really couldn’t stand it anymore and interrupted. “If you aren’t going to the Discipline Hall, don’t hinder me from returning to Guizang Peak.”
These people are the protagonist group? Can’t they see the ice block next to them is getting impatient?
“Chirping and whining one by one. be straightforward.”
Pei Yanshu and Shen Yunchuan glared at him in dissatisfaction. A villain celebrating his success.
Ye Jingxian turned and left on his flying sword. Lin Qingyue hurriedly bypassed the group to catch up. “Wait! I still don’t know how to fly on a sword.”
“Truly arrogant.”
“Junior Brother Yun, don’t worry. Being in the same inner sect, we’ll have plenty of opportunities to teach him a lesson for you.”
“We’ll settle accounts with him later during the Inner Sect Competition and the secret realm exploration.”
They comforted Yun Jinzhou one by one.
Lin Qingyue, who had already walked far away, didn’t know how they were planning to teach him a lesson in the future.
Ye Jingxian used a sword, he used his feet. How can two legs catch up to a flying sword? Panting for breath, he stared at the black-clad figure leading the way, gritting his teeth.
It’s never too late for a villain’s revenge, be it a thousand or ten thousand years.
Wait until he cultivates and lives as long as a ten-thousand-year-old turtle. He will definitely find Ye Jingxian’s descendants from time to time and let them know what it means to show filial respect to their Ancestral Master Uncle.
