Chapter 240 - 14: Waiting
The proclamation affair caused a stir within the martial arts academy.
Among the exchanges between many disciples, it felt quite ridiculous.
More so in the backdrop of Zheg Guang and Yun Yin vying for the top position in the academy, with some secretly fanning the flames, leading nearly everyone to discuss it privately.
It’s simply that the Long-brow Taoist took in a fool. Issuing the proclamation couldn’t suppress the forces under his banner.
This was like a severe blow to the face of a powerful figure. Originally, Lin Yuan, by relying on the Long-brow Taoist’s connections, took the lucrative post at Black Dragon Pool but was deeply discontent.
Seeing Lin Yuan suffer now, with Long-brow losing face, it was more refreshing than eating watermelon on a hot day.
"Foolish, huh? Hahaha. Ate something good but couldn’t digest it, had to spit it out in the end," the disciples continued ridiculing.
"This Lin Yuan, he has utterly shamed our Yun Yin lineage. Warriors earn their reputations with their fists, yet this Lin Yuan is a crafty fellow attempting to use the sect’s prestige to oppress others. Now it’s known throughout the world, it’s truly the shame of Yun Yin," other disciples of the Yun Yin lineage couldn’t stand the mockery from the disciples of Zheg Guang and Shuo Feng lineages, seething with anger.
Almost wanting to personally capture Lin Yuan and whip him a few times at the gate.
For a time, Lin Yuan’s name spread throughout the entire martial arts academy overnight.
Naturally, it was all about disgracing the sect, being a disgrace to the master, being deceitful, bullying others, and such.
