Chapter 2218 - Fierce Waves
Ku Zhen’s demand seemed to come out of nowhere. Many of the gathered higher-ups paused, stunned, then frowned.
It would have been obvious that Third Elder Ku Zhen was seizing this opportunity for further questioning. He wouldn’t let Xiao Jian off so easily!
Many of the onlookers were displeased. They were entertaining guests from outside the sect, yet now, the third elder was targeting one of their own. How was that proper?
“Fellow Daoist Qi Wei said everything I wanted to say.” Su Yi gazed coolly at Ku Zhen. “How is it any of your business why I bought Unfettered Wanderer?”
With that question, he’d effectively cast aside all pretenses of cordiality with Ku Zhen. He wasn’t being the least bit polite.
“You...” Ku Zhen’s embarrassment turned to fury, and his face contorted.
A junior like Xiao Jian was talking back to him in front of a crowd. How was he supposed to maintain his dignity after that?
The grand elder snorted coldly. “Third Elder, you really are being rude. How many disciples do we have in our sect? Surely you don’t ask them all to justify their purchases to you?”
His tone was dripping with mockery. This was a clear rebuke.
“That’s not at all what I meant,” said Ku Zhen, his expression darkening. “It’s just that Unfettered Wanderer...”
But before he could explain, Sect Leader Liang Lingxu said, “Enough. Mind your behavior, and don’t ruin our distinguished guests’ good time!”
Ku Zhen’s expression shifted erratically, but in the end, he said nothing.
