âSir Luâ¦â Seeing the strange look thatâs coming from the man, the guard then went ahead to explain the situation: âThe elders are angry because you didnât receive them at the city gate.â
âSo thatâs why,â only then does he become enlightened.
If thatâs the case then itâs easyâ¦.
So what if you seduced Di Cang? In the end you still have to submit to my Holy Landâs might!
âElders, this time it is indeed my fault for being so negligent in not receiving the three of you at the gates. Please forgive me for my carelessness.â
âMhmm,â Zheng Qi (First Elder) was the first to respond, âWho are you?â
Going stiff in the face, the foolish man could only press on, knowing full well heâs in no position to get angry. âDear elders, I am called Lu Zifeng, a disciple of the Holy land. Maybe itâs because my identity is too humble so you might not have heard of me in the past.â
âLu Zifeng? Never heard of it. When did we have such a person in our Holy Land?â Wrinkling his brow, Zheng Qi (First Elder) makes it sound like there never existed such a person within their ranks.
Transforming into a ghostly white without a spec of blood on his face, Lu Zifeng was overwhelmed with horror at the three elders in front of him.
This⦠didnât the Holy Land send me here to recruit some more disciples? Why would the elders here not know of my name?
In light of the respectful attitude, Qiu Shu Rong (Third Elder) didnât give a shit and snatched the thing right up before roaring out: âHow dare you, impersonating yourself as a disciple of the Holy Land! Who gave you such courage to pull off such a deceitful thing?â
This time not even Lu Zifeng can continue keeping up his fa?ade. Falling into a panic at the eyes shooting his way, he began stuttering like a train wreck: âElders, th-that tokenâ¦. It has m-my name on itâ
Sneering at the fool for not getting it, the Third Elder continues: âSo what if your name is on it? If I say you are not my Holy Landâs disciple then you are no longer a member!â
Losing it completely, he finally got it. These three arenât making any mistake, they are deliberately trying to drive him out of the sect!
While one person was trying to figure out the cause, the rest of the crowds here werenât so quiet. Breaking out into an uproar, they simply canât imagine how the high-spirited individual from moments ago would suddenly be turned into a stray dog the next.
Like the rest, Bai Zhi was also quite aware of how bad the situation was becoming for her end. Loosening her hand thatâs grasping onto the manâs, she deliberately makes some distance to the side like the act alone would save her from being involved.

Normally this would be quite hurtful for any man; however, Lu Zifeng didnât have the patience to care about these small details at the current time. Tightening his fist until itâs clenched so tight that the sound of bones crunching together could be heard, he demands an answer: âElders, I admit I did make a mistake in neglecting your welcoming committee, butâ¦. the task of overseeing the recruitment process was handed to me by the Lord himself. Itâs only normal that I would have to be here at all times. No matter how high the three of your positions are, you canât just expel me without reason.â
âWhen did the Lord let you serve as the judge?â Zheng Qi (First Elder) began to sneer, âDo you not see the little princess is here? As if the Lord would have you oversee the task instead of her!â
Little princess? Suddenly widening his eyes in utter shock, the man couldnât believe his own ears.
