"Sorry to bother, Daoist Master."
Sun Lei sheepishly helped Gao Fei up and asked quietly:
"With your skill level, how did you still lose?"
"His speed was too fast, and his strength wasn’t small either. I couldn’t compete with him."
"Did you lose convincingly?"
"Convincingly."
Hearing Gao Fei say this, Sun Lei knew they had no chance at all.
It was indeed quite embarrassing.
As the commotion subsided, Lin Yi said to Senior Brother:
"Is it only by sparring with your junior brother that I can meet your master?"
Everyone originally thought the matter had calmed down, but unexpectedly someone else stepped forward.
"You also want to spar with my junior brother?"
"Not really spar, just want to meet your master."
Senior Brother and all the disciples sized Lin Yi up.
After seeing one person get beaten away, and witnessing it firsthand, he still wants to give it a try?
Doesn’t he fear death?
But looking at Lin Yi’s demeanor, he didn’t quite seem like a popularity-seeking streamer.
"May I ask what business you have with our master? Is it an interview? There are provincial TV staff interviewing in the afternoon, and Master won’t have time to meet others."
"None of these; I just want to have a chat with him, could you help make an exception?"
"If you don’t have an appointment, our Master doesn’t see outsiders."
"Since the usual method doesn’t work, does it mean I must spar with your junior brother to see Master Cheng Dao?"
Gao Fei and others were a bit flabbergasted.
Darn, I’m not even a match for him, what’s the point of you being so cocky?
"Resident, you saw it just now. If you really want to meet my master, it’s better to go through the regular appointment process," Senior Brother said:
"It’s not easy to pass my junior brother’s test."
"I understand, he’s very skilled," Lin Yi said courteously:
"But my time is limited, I can’t make another appointment; this is the only way."
"Why be so determined? If you have other questions, I can also help you solve them."
"Thank you for your kindness, but I’m determined to meet Master Cheng Dao today."
Lin Yi smiled and said:
"Furthermore, there’s something you all might not know; we’re considered peers, so it would be best if you could give me a chance."
"Peers?"
"I come from Longhu Mountain Shangqing Palace, by the name Xuankong."
Everyone was surprised, who would have thought Lin Yi looked so impressive and was actually a Daoist.
Moreover, he came from the famous Longhu Mountain Shangqing Palace.
"Senior Brother, I feel this person is here to stir trouble."
Lin Yi’s revelations about his identity didn’t earn him any special treatment, instead, it increased hostility.
"Don’t be hasty, let’s observe the situation," Senior Brother looked at Lin Yi and said:
"Since Fellow Daoist insists, let’s start with my junior brother."
The disciples all got excited, gathered together, and whispered:
"Shangqing Palace has been gaining fame these past few years, nearly on par with us. I guess this person came deliberately to stir trouble, wanting to take this opportunity to outshine us, letting others think Shangqing Palace is better than Purple Cloud Palace."
"I think so too, fortunately, Second Senior Brother is here; teaching him a lesson should be no problem."
"He’s somewhat overestimating himself; that Ma Gaofei was defeated by Second Senior Brother with just two moves, and he still wants to try. It’s really arrogant."
"This will be interesting."
Lin Yi stood on the open space, gestured to Qing Ye to come forward.
"Please."
As per usual, Qing Ye cupped his fists in salutation and then launched towards Lin Yi.
Qing Ye’s speed was fast, in the blink of an eye he appeared behind Lin Yi.
It was the same move, a straight punch came over, but Lin Yi didn’t dodge.
He grabbed Qing Ye’s wrist with one hand, instantly controlling him.
