Vol.2-Chapter 211 – The Storm Rises Again

Although Fu Hongling had left, the crowd became a bit rowdy. Many disciples became envious of Zhao Jiuge for nothing other than having such a doting senior sister!

Of course, a lot of people were unconvinced and didn’t like Zhao Jiuge. Cold snorts were mixed in amongst the noise.

“What are you all making a fuss for? Listen to the lesson!” Elder Li suddenly roared and reprimanded all the disciples. He had a stern expression, which was very different from the smiling expression he had toward Fu Hongling.

Zhao Jiuge coldly looked at the people below and then walked toward the empty mats.

As his strength increased, his mentality was gradually changing. He was not affected by others anymore.

Zhao Jiuge was no longer affected by other people’s emotions. He seemed to have comprehended some kind of domain during the month he spent on Waning Moon Peak, where every morning he watched the sun rise and the clouds become bathed in the sunlight.

Zhao Jiuge walked toward the crowd below and looked at the empty mats. Many people carefully observed Zhao Jiuge, and their gazes sometimes met.

“Jiuge, here, here…”

While Zhao Jiuge was walking, a low voice came from behind him. The voice was very low.

Zhao Jiuge turned toward that direction and saw Luo Xie waving at him. He saw a group of familiar faces and felt warmth surge in his heart.

Leng Rufeng, Luo Xie, Cia Mengxuan, and Zhang Sai were all sitting in the back. All of them were excitedly smiling at him.

They hadn’t seen each other in half a year, and the reunion made him smile. He didn’t hesitate to walk to the back and sit down beside Luo Xie.

Zhao Jiuge was just about to speak when he was stopped by Luo Xie, who said, “We’ll get caught up after the lesson is over. Elder Li is very strict—if we get caught talking while he is teaching, it will be miserable.”

Zhao Jiuge glanced at Elder Li and nodded. He didn’t say anything. However, he heard the whispers around him, and they caused him to frown slightly.

“Look, this is that Zhao jiuge. I heard that he was strong, but he doesn’t look like much.”

“Hey, why do you care about how strong he is? He at least was able to be taken in by the Head Teacher, unlike you.”

“Do you think being the Head Teacher’s disciple makes him good? I heard that their generation entered the inner sect half a year ago, and only he came this late.”

All kinds of whispers entered Zhao Jiuge’s ears. Only after Elder Li yelled at them did everyone become silent.

However, in front, there was a young man wearing green who looked at Zhao Jiuge with a vicious gaze filled with ill intent.

Beside him was a cold and feminine young man wearing a gorgeous, silver robe. He saw Zhou Hongyong’s gaze and smiled. He then looked at Zhao Jiuge and felt restless.

Their gazes suddenly met and they both instantly understood each other’s intent. Both of them nodded slightly.

Then Elder Li began to teach, but Zhao Jiuge already knew all of these things. During his time with Fu Hongling and Elder Waning Moon, he had learned it all. What they had taught him was even a bit more profound than this.

Jian Wuxian hadn’t told Fu Hongling to send Zhao Jiuge to Ocean Flower Peak just to listen to lessons.

The inner sect disciples that weren’t qualified or hadn’t gone outside to experience the world were all here.

Therefore, the real purpose was to simply let Zhao Jiuge experience this and get to know the inner sect disciples. This would lay the foundation for future matters and also for Zhao Jiuge to gain some prestige.

Soon, the lesson was over, and as usual, Elder Li soon disappeared from Ocean Flower Peak, leaving behind the inner sect disciples.

After Elder Li left, the cold and femine young man in the gorgeous, silver robe revealed a cruel smile. He pointed at Zhao Jiuge and asked Zhou Hongyong, “This is the Zhao Jiuge got into a fight with you outside the Duty Hall?”

Zhou Hongyong nodded gloomily. Last time, his sure victory was turned around due to the appearance of Fu Hongling. He had to leave bearing hatred in his heart.

As long as he wasn’t careless, he could easily crush Zhao Jiuge, but what had happened last time was simply too depressing.

After they returned, they were scolded by Du Jun for being disgraces. They were then ordered to suppress any direct disciples from the Mysterious Heaven Peak, especially ?Zhao Jiuge.

Du Jun couldn’t be blamed for being angry. The three peaks had been competing with each other for a long time, and the Mysterious Heaven Peak had found a good opportunity to make them into a laughing stock.

“Do you plan to make your move here?” The cold and femine young man saw the ill intent in Zhou Hongyong’s eyes and was surprised. After all, making a direct move was not a good thing, as they wouldn’t benefit in the end.

Zhou Hongyong shook his head. “I have my own methods. Let us head over.”

When Zhao Jiuge appeared, Zhou Hongyoung was thinking of a way to deal with him. It had been half a year, and Zhou Hongyong finally found Zhao Jiuge. After last time, Zhou Hongyong had been secretly looking for Zhao Jiuge. However, Zhao Jiuge was at Lotus Peak, the Mysterious Heaven Temple, and then at Waning Moon Peak. It was as if he had disappeared without a trace.

The femine young man only nodded and followed Zhou Hongyong. Although he was much stronger than Zhou Hongyong, Zhou Hongyong’s teacher was the Head Seat of the Mysterious Fallen Peak, so he naturally wanted to get on Zhou Hongyong’s good side.

Seeing the young man named Fang Qiwen follow him, Zhou Hongyong couldn’t help but grin. He had his teacher’s permission, and with Fang Qiwen’s help, he was even more confident. Fang Qiwen wanted to get close to him, and he valued Fang Qiwen’s strength. He wanted to pull Fang Qinwen to his side as well.

……

On the other side.

Seeing Elder Li leave, Luo Xie hugged Zhao Jiuge with a smile. He cried, “Where did you go, you brat? Back in the outer sect, I never saw you, and right after you entered the inner sect, you disappeared for half a year.”

Luo Xie was now the direct disciple of Elder Xue Qingfeng, so his status wasn’t ordinary. Today, he was finally able to see Zhao Jiuge, so he was not going to let Zhao Jiuge go so easily.

On the side, Leng Rufeng smiled while watching all of this. All three of them had become direct disciples, so their starting points were far ahead of other disciples. However, they were only disciples of elders, while Zhao Jiuge was the disciple of the Head Teacher. Zhao Jiuge’s status was naturally more distinguished.

Zhao Jiuge felt pain in his chest from being hugged by Luo Xie. He gathered his breath and said, “I was cultivating, and the moment I finished, I came to find you all.”

Luo Xie didn’t believe Zhao jiuge. He wanted to say something when his expression changed while looking behind Zhao Jiuge.

Zhang Sai and Cai Mengxuan were standing on the side. They were only inner sect disciples and not direct disciples like the three of them. They hadn’t come closer to greet Zhao Jiuge, they simply stood on the side with smiles. When they saw Luo Xie’s expression change, they felt like something was wrong.

Zhao Jiuge didn’t know who Fang Qiwen was, but Luo Xie knew that Fang Qiwen was the top disciple here. He should have gone out to experience the world, but he had delayed it for several months, unwilling to leave.

Now that he was standing beside Zhou Hongyong, Luo Xie immediately knew that Zhou Hongyong was looking for trouble. Could it be that Fang Qiwen was delaying his departure to wait for Zhao Jiuge?

However, what confused Luo Xie was why would two people at the Spirit Core Realm have to use tricks to deal with Zhao Jiuge?

When Zhao Jiuge saw Luo Xie’s expression change, he turned his head. He saw the two figures walking toward him and silently watched. He didn’t take the lead and waited to see what would happen.

Leng Rufeng also noticed that something was not right and immediately stood beside Zhao Jiuge and Luo Xie. He held the grey flying sword in his hand, which gave off a faint glow.

During this half a year, both he and Luo Xie had reached the late stage of the Foundation Realm, but they hadn’t condensed their spirit cores yet. They didn’t know that Zhao Jiuge had already condensed his spirit core. Seeing two Spirit Core Realm cultivators closing in, he was afraid they would be at a disadvantage and took out his flying sword.

The light from the sword wasn’t strong, but the surrounding people all noticed. They all stopped and looked over. When they saw Zhou Hongyong and Fang Qiwen walking toward Zhao Jiuge, the crowd became excited.

There would be a good show to watch! Everyone knew about the fight that happened half a year ago. Both the goddesses, Fu Hongling and Yan Wenfei, had fought against each other.

However, looking at the situation, this matter was not over yet. In an instant, the crowd formed a circle around them and began talking.

Unlike last time, Zhou Hongyong didn’t care about the disciples talking. He had his teacher’s permission. What was he afraid of? He could also use this chance to spread his reputation!

Zhou Hongyonh laughed and walked toward Zhao Jiuge with a fake smile. “Haha, Zhao Jiuge, it has been a long time since we met outside the Duty Hall. Are you unharmed?”

It was clear that Zhou Hongyong was looking for trouble. Zhao Jiuge didn’t bother to pretend and directly said, “Hmph, we haven’t met in a long time, but your IQ hasn’t grown at all!”

Right now, Zhao Jiuge had confidence. He was not the same as before. He had condensed a rank-7 spirit core! He was confident in fighting against Zhou Hongyong, who only studied formations and was also at the early stage of the Spirit Core Realm.

When the surrounding crowd heard Zhao Jiuge’s direct and simple words, their breathing became rough. They couldn’t wait for things to get messy. From the looks of things, there would inevitably be a good show to watch.

Although they didn’t know what gave Zhao Jiuge the confidence to go against Zhou Hongyong, due to Zhao Jiuge’s identity, they were all happy to watch things develop.

At this moment, the atmosphere at the top of Ocean Flower Peak became tense.
