Chapter 41: Which Is Greater—Talent Or Fortune?
There was no immediate response to Kong Ye’s question at first. Nobody wanted to speak without figuring out what the Elder’s goal was. "Hmm? No opinions at all? That’s even better. It looks like I don’t have to argue with anyone about my choice, then," Kong Ye said rather quickly. It did seem like he didn’t want a debate.
At this moment, a voice finally came from the disciple body, that too from the group Han Xuhan was standing with.
"Elder, this disciple believes that we, the ones who have never stepped foot into the path of Mystic Arts, should receive the most favor from you. How else would we keep up with those disciples whose family provided them with all the resources and Mystic Arts early in life?"
If anyone else had said this, Han Xuhan would’ve applauded them with his full personal support, but the speaker was Mu Ran, the only one among their group who actually had a cultivation base. This guy was a fraud, an imposter!
Han Xuhan couldn’t help but look forward to Elder Kong Ye catching him red-handed. He could sense Mu Ran’s cultivation base too, right?
But instead of pointing out that Mu Ran already had a cultivation base, Elder Kong just asked his name and looked at the rest of the groups.
"Anyone wish to contest his words? This will be the only opportunity you get for it. Don’t cry about fairness later!"
Han Xuhan was dumbfounded. Why didn’t this Elder say anything? How could he not sense the fraudulent act taking place right under his nose?
