Chapter 667: 664. A Disappointed Father "As a disciple of the Immortal Sect, does what I, the Sect Leader, say require your commentary?"
Showing disrespect?
As Wen Ping’s voice fell, the people around him quickly dispersed, clearing a ten-meter radius around Wen Ping and his companions almost instantly.
Bainian Hanshan and Bu Ling, whether as the leaders of the Heaven and Earth Lake’s giant influence or due to their power, are renowned far and wide.
Now, someone is actually quarreling with them.
Upon hearing Wen Ping’s words, Bu Ling hesitated for a few seconds, then immediately turned and took two steps forward to stand a few steps away from Wen Ping. The aura of the Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression surged like water from a deep well.
"Boy, what did you just say?"
"Xiang."
Wen Ping stood calmly and composed.
In the eyes of outsiders, in the face of this imposing presence, Wen Ping seemed as small as a pedestrian at the foot of a mountain.
Bu Ling was that towering mountain!
Upon hearing Wen Ping’s call, Bainian Xiang quickly said, "Uncle Bu, I have actually joined the Immortal Sect."
"What?"
Bu Ling’s aura suddenly intensified.
This surge was sudden and unexpected.
Meanwhile, Bainian Hanshan shot a sharp glance.
Bainian Xiang continued, "I originally planned to tell you later, but today you have gone too far. Uncle Bu, why do you vent your ill mood on others? The Sect Leader understands me very well and what he said is for my own good."
"You..."
Bu Ling was momentarily speechless.
Bainian Hanshan’s face immediately fell, stepping away without saying a word.
As the Sect Leader of the Hidden Dragon Sect, having his daughter join a small sect would surely bring ridicule if word got out.
Especially talking about this matter in public!
"Father!"
Bainian Xiang called out, then bowed slightly to Wen Ping before hastily following her father.
Bu Ling turned back to Wen Ping, his gaze immediately shooting a hint of hostility, and then said, "What merit or virtue do you have to recruit my Hidden Dragon Sect’s successor?"
"That is not something I need to tell you, nor do you need to know," Wen Ping said, his cold eyes fixed on Bu Ling.
If Bu Ling intended to make a move, Wen Ping wouldn’t hesitate to unleash the Devouring Beast.
After all, the Immortal Sect needed to gain fame.
In whatever way it comes, it’s acceptable to Wen Ping.
Bu Ling’s brows twitched, and upon hearing the chatter around him, he coldly swept his gaze over them.
"We will meet again!"
Bu Ling gritted his teeth and turned away.
This was a serious matter; he needed to go back and inform the Sect Leader promptly.
Creating a scene here would be pointless, and would only turn the Hidden Dragon Sect into a spectacle for others to watch!
Once Bu Ling left, Wen Ping returned to his usual demeanor.
As if he hadn’t just faced off against Bu Ling.
"Let’s return to the inn first."
"Yes."
Huai Ye nodded and followed Wen Ping away.
...
Meanwhile, Bainian Hanshan rode a Beast Vehicle back to his residence.
When Bainian Xiang returned, the people of the Hidden Dragon Sect were already discussing her joining the small sect.
Bainian Xiang ignored the chatter and went straight upstairs to find her father.
However, the room door was closed tight!
Knocking on the door proved futile.
Other elders of the Hidden Dragon Sect advised Bainian Xiang to let the Sect Leader cool down first.
Bainian Xiang was helpless and had to leave, obediently staying in her room while waiting for Bainian Hanshan to settle down.
So, several days passed, with her father refusing to see her, but challenge letters kept arriving. Fortunately, while Bainian Hanshan didn’t want to see Bainian Xiang, he came to her when a challenge letter arrived.
"Father!"
Bainian Xiang called out, but her eyes didn’t show any trace of shame.
