Chapter 1537 - 1431: Qin Hao, You’re Here
There are many geniuses among the Huashan Sect’s inner disciples, each with their own distinctive features.
However, one common trait among these geniuses is their low profile.
For instance, Ji Yue’Er and Lei Xiuzhu, one trains in seclusion within the sect, while the other hones her skills outside, seldom appearing in the public eye.
Then there are Su Lingfeng and Hu Boyong, who belong to the intellectual faction, always approachable and never arrogant, epitomizing modesty.
But the most exceptional among them is Zhan Wuji.
This individual is the true rogue within the inner sect.
From his first day in the sect, he has been causing trouble everywhere. Within a month, he had gathered a group of followers. Eventually, as their numbers grew, the "Wuji Gang" he created reached its peak.
Currently, the overall strength of Zhan Wuji and his followers is the strongest within the sect.
This fierce individual actually uttered threats to Qin Hao, yet the rumor is that Qin Hao is not one to take a loss.
If this continues, wouldn’t it result in a grand battle?
Just when everyone was ready to watch the spectacle, Qin Hao, the focal point of discussion, vanished.
Some curious people even went to his peak to inquire, but received only vague answers.
Feng Ziyun said, "Qin Hao? My Junior Brother is like a Divine Dragon, seen occasionally but hard to find, so even if you ask me, I don’t know."
Wu Xiang was somewhat indignant, "This little Junior Brother, he promised me a few days ago to go drinking together, but now I can’t find him!"
The most vocal complaint came from Ma Jiajia, who waved her fists and berated Qin Hao to visitors, "My little Junior Brother promised to take me on a mission, but he sneaked away alone! Absolutely disloyal!"
Visitors came to inquire, but to no avail, leaving the onlookers quite disappointed.
However, for Qin Hao’s fellow disciples like Feng Ziyun, Wu Xiang, and others, the situation unexpectedly put them in the limelight, brightening their moods and adding flavor to their days.
...
...
That day, outside the mountain path where the Medicine Hall on Liuyun Peak is located, a figure walked alone in the sunlight.
The person wore an oversized conical hat, hiding the entire face, revealing only half of their lips.
His figure was long and tall, with both hands hidden inside wide sleeves, and his walking posture was very steady.
As he approached the perimeter of the Medicine Hall, he instantly drew many gazes.
Many people cast strange looks, but their gazes shifted away after only a few seconds.
Within the Huashan Sect’s internal walls, there are many eclectic people. Although this conical hat disciple was showy, he wasn’t the first.
Thus, the disciples lost interest.
At the entrance of the Medicine Hall, a haughty-looking disciple in splendid clothes shouted, "Hu Tianlan has come out, next is Wang Fenfang!"
Outside the Medicine Hall, a disciple named Hu Tianlan walked out with an elixir in hand, his face full of joy.
The surrounding people looked on with envy on their faces.
The female disciple named Wang Fenfang entered the Medicine Hall amidst these envious glances.
The Medicine Hall is the most popular among various halls, attracting countless disciples every day.
This queuing situation happens almost daily.
"Sigh, today there are so many people seeking medicine; even the courtyard can’t hold them all! When will I get my turn to obtain the medicine?"
Many disciples further back in line were deeply worried.
At this time, the man in the conical hat walked past them.
The group of disciples was all surprised.
"What’s that guy doing?"
"How dare he walk past us? Is he trying to cut in line?"
"Is this kid an idiot? Doesn’t he know that Senior Brother Xun Sheng hates those who break rules?"
"Heh, he must be a new goose who just entered the sect. We’ll just wait and see how this plays out!"
As a result, all the disciples watched the conical hat disciple with amusement.
Soon, the conical hat disciple reached the entrance.
"Stop!" Senior Brother Xun Sheng, who was guarding the door, shouted loudly.
The conical hat disciple stopped.
Xun Sheng scolded coldly, "Are you trying to cut in line?"
The conical hat disciple had not yet spoken when Xun Sheng shouted again, "Bold thief, you dare flout the rules in front of me. Are you looking for a beating?"
The shout caused saliva to fly out of Xun Sheng’s mouth, all landing on the disciple’s conical hat.
If it had been an outsider getting such a shout, they would have likely been quite frightened.
But this disciple wasn’t. A calm voice spoke, "I’m here to find someone."
Perhaps the calmness of the voice surprised Xun Sheng, making him pause.
Quickly, he realized and shouted, "Find someone? Does finding someone mean you can cut in line! Go back and queue up! Otherwise, I won’t be polite to you!"
With that, he clenched his fists with a "crack, crack" sound.
Yet the disciple seemed not to hear and didn’t move or retreat a step.
"Do you have a death wish?" Xun Sheng was furious, unusually angry.
Seeing this, the other disciples became tense.
The Senior Brother was about to lose his temper, and this disciple was in for a bad time!
Unexpectedly, the disciple simply said lightly, "I want to see Elder Yun Cai!"
His voice remained incredibly calm, evidently not intimidated by Xun Sheng’s fury.
Not backing down is one thing, but wanting to see the master?
Xun Sheng was infuriated by this disciple. He raised his palm to slap the disciple on the head, "Bold cur, dare to demand to see the master! Take my slap first."
Pah!
Just as the slap was about to land, a hand suddenly appeared to block Xun Sheng’s offensive.
Everyone’s hearts tightened; it was the conical hat disciple who intervened!
"It got blocked? Who is this disciple after all? It seems he’s not weaker than Senior Brother Xun Sheng!"
The disciples’ discussions filled the air, nearly causing Xun Sheng to faint from anger.
What made him angry was not that the opponent could seize his arm.
But that after being grabbed, he couldn’t move.
Yes.
Despite their hands touching, Xun Sheng had already lost control of his arm. Moreover, an elusive killing intent enveloped his whole body, making him unable to move!
"Who is this guy, and why is he so strong?" The longer time passed, the more panicked Xun Sheng became, and the fury in his heart vanished.
Just then, a voice came from within the doorway, seeming distant but clear to everyone’s ears: "Xun Sheng, let him in."
Hearing this voice, Xun Sheng’s body trembled as he quickly stepped back to regain his freedom.
He turned his head and shouted, "Master, this guy is so arrogant, don’t you want to teach him a lesson?"
Everyone was surprised to hear that it was Elder Yun Cai who had spoken!
Inside, Elder Yun Cai’s voice sounded again, "Mind your door, let him in."
Though displeased, Xun Sheng could only comply, "Yes."
After that, he looked at the conical hat disciple with a complicated expression and said, "Go ahead."
The disciple made no sound, striding into the room.
"Who is that guy? Why does Elder Yun Cai agree to see him?"
"Even Senior Brother Xun Sheng can’t handle him. Who in the sect’s inner disciples, after all, likes to wear a conical hat?"
It could be said that the scene just now shocked the disciples present, leaving their minds unsettled for a long time.
...
In the Medicine Hall, inside an ancient-styled room.
Yun Cai sat at the head seat, watching the conical hat disciple approach, smiling and said, "Qin Hao, you’ve arrived."
