Chapter 126: A Massive Crowd at the Education Peak
Did I stutter, Elder Yao? Perhaps I did, so allow me to rephrase myself, Bai Ling then spoke slower but in a much louder and clearer voice, Either I let the Sect Master know about your mistakes today, or you eat your own shoes before the disciples at the Education Peak at the end of your lecture.
I wont do something as unreasonable as kicking you out of the sect or anything like that so consider yourself lucky that youre getting off so lightly.
Mother fucker! You dare call this a light punishment?! Telling me to eat my shoes in front of the disciples is worse than being kicked out of the sect! At least I would still have my dignity left for the latter punishment! Elder Yao cursed at Bai Ling inwardly, as he didnt dare to utter such words for real.
I know what youre thinking, Elder Yao. After all, you have worked with me for over 10 years now. However, you have no idea how much trouble you are actually in, and I dont blame you for that. Thats why I am letting you know right now that you should eat your own shoes before I let the Sect Master know, as he might really kick you out of the sect if he finds out what had transpired today. Bai Ling said to Elder Yao while knowing very well that Long Yijun will definitely hear about this incident sooner or later.
Is this situation really that serious? I would understand it if that Outer Court disciple belonged to one of the Seven Legacy Families but hes clearly not! Elder Yao spoke a moment later with a relentless expression on his face.
Dont even bother asking me about that Outer Court disciples identity because I wont say anything unless you dont mind dying afterward. Bai Ling looked at Elder Yao with his eyes narrowed and emitting faint killing intent.
Elder Yao swallowed nervously after seeing this, and after a moment of silence, he sighed, Very well... I shall eat my own shoes in front of the disciples...
Good choice. You may leave now. Bai Ling said to him.
Elder Yao nodded and left the room, but he didnt forget to bow to Bai Ling before leaving as that was how much hed respected the leader of the Disciplinary Hall.
Not just Grand Elder Xuan but even Leader Bai and possibly the Sect Master is protecting that Outer Court disciple! What on earth is that brats identity? If he doesnt belong to the Seven Legacy Families then he could only come from the Four Ancient Families! Elder Yao pondered to himself as he returned home to prepare for the lecture.
Later the same day, Elder Yao walked to the Education Peak with a solemn expression on his face.
Damn! I shouldnt have run my mouth at that time! No! That fucking brat Qiao Kang is the root of this! If he didnt come to me, I wouldve never met that damn Outer Court disciple and offended the Grand Elder and Leader Bai! Ill fucking kill him once he comes out of confinement! Elder Yao cursed inwardly as he approached the Education Peak, where thousands of disciples could be seen walking about.
The Education Peak is where disciples gather to partake in lectures from sect elders. However, not only sect elders gave lectures there, as disciples are also able to give their own lectures if they were approved by the sect, so there would always be lectures for disciples to participate.
Of course, the Education Peak is the most populated when a sect elder decides to give a lecture, as they are often the most knowledgeable and experienced in the sect, hence why when Elder Yao suddenly showed up at the Education Peak, the disciples there immediately began following him.
Isnt that Elder Yao? Its been a while since I have been to one of his lectures!
Me, too! The last time hed given a lecture was nearly 3 years ago! I heard that over a dozen Outer Court disciples whod listened to his lecture managed to become an Inner Court disciple within the same year!
Really? Then I must listen to his lecture today even if the heavens fall!
We still dont know whether Elder Yao is really giving a lecture today or hes just visiting since there was no prior notice! Most sect elders announce their lectures a least a week beforehand!
Hes not telling us that hes not giving a lecture even though there are so many of us clearly following him. Surely, he intends on giving a lecture today!
I hope youre right! I have been dying to attend a lecture given by Elder Yao!
The hype between the disciples grew as they followed Elder Yao to one of the many empty areas designed for public lectures.
Sometime later, Elder Yao settled down in one of these areas and stood at the spot meant for the lecturers.
See! Hes really giving a lecture today! Looks like we lucked out today by coming here and witnessing it by chance!
Hahaha! You are so damn right!
Hey, is it just me or does Elder Yao seem a bit off today? He looks kind of sick. One of the disciples there noticed Elder Yaos pale complexion and mumbled to the disciples around him.
Youre right. He looks like he hasnt slept or eaten in a week or something.
Meanwhile, Elder Yao scanned the massive crowd that had gathered for his lecture with his back soaked in cold sweats.
Fuck... why are there so many disciples at the Education Peak today when there are no sect elders giving lectures? If I dont become a laughing stock after today, Ill eat my damn shoes again! Elder Yao cursed inwardly, feeling the urge to cry out loud.
There were at least 3 thousand disciples gathered there, and every single one of them was staring at Elder Yao with anticipation in their gazes, looking like a bunch of children before their idol, but alas, little did they expect that they were merely participating in a clown show disguised as a lecture!
