Chao Liang frowned and looked over at Fan Zhan’s group upon hearing this.
To be honest, Fan Zhan and his bunch of trash were hardly worthy of his attention; taking them along would be nothing but a drag.
However, his gaze lingered for a brief mont on Su Qiong and Zhou Siyu.
On reflection, these two beauties were indeed impressive. It was clear from this team that n outnumbered won in the Martial Arts World!
If he could take them under his wing, it wouldn’t be a bad thing, especially since both of them were of top-notch beauty; it would be a pity not to take them in.
"Heh, as for , let them fend for themselves, they’ve got a tough leader, right? Maybe they wouldn’t even care for our company!" soone sneered nearby.
"Haha, well said, that lot are nothing but dead weight, what use do we have for them?" another chid in.
"However, those two beauties are truly exquisite; it’d be better to have them as our boss’s concubines!" yet another person readily offered the sycophantic suggestion.
They couldn’t get the girls anyway, so they might as well present them to Buddha, in this case to kiss up to Young Master Chao, the Great God.
Kong Yin, shrewd as ever, had caught the longer glance that Chao Liang had given Su Qiong and Zhou Siyu.
"Hehe, I think what they said makes sense, what do you think?" Kong Yin snickered.
Chao Liang was tempted, but outwardly he waved his hand dismissively. I, Chao Liang, am not that sort of person. Regardless, since we’re all from the Secular World, we should look out for one another, and it wouldn’t hurt to have a few more in our team.
I have to look out for one, and looking out for ten is the sa. Only, I just injured one of their companions; I wonder if they will hold a grudge.
Soone go and ask them, explain the situation. If they don’t hold a grudge and are willing, then they can join our team.
"Damn, look at that, look! Young Master Chao truly lives up to being the leader!
Such magnanimity, such spirit, it leaves us in awe. If it were , screw it!" And just like that, one person eagerly started to brown-nose, his flattery loud and clear.
But indeed, Chao Liang found this flattery rather gratifying.
Everyone echoed the sentint, unanimously expressing that Chao Liang had the equanimity of a pri minister.
"Hehe, boss, I’ll go tell them. With such a heart as yours, it’s like giving them a chance at life, they should be on their knees banging their heads in gratitude." Kong Yin laughed, and right away got up and headed over to Fan Zhan and his group.
In everyone’s eyes, Chao Liang’s willingness to take them in was an enormous favor. To receive such a blessing, they should be crawling on their knees in thanks!
With unaffected indifference, Chao Liang maintained an air of superiority, not giving Fan Zhan’s group a mont’s notice. However, he observed them out of the corner of his eye.
At that mont, he noticed Kong Yin approaching Fan Zhan and the others.
Su Qiong and her companions watched Kong Yin co over with wariness in their expressions. They hadn’t heard the earlier muttering of Kong Yin.
"What’s the matter? Here for another challenge?" Zuo Zhengqing snorted.
Kong Yin’s eyebrows shot up. These people were weak as dogs, but they had no shortage of pretense.
Without paying heed to Zuo Zhengqing, he turned to Su Qiong; he didn’t know what was going on with this team, but it seed the woman was their linchpin.
"You must’ve clearly heard what Elder Wan just said. Our boss is generous and willing to give you a hand!
Logically, with your level of strength, you wouldn’t qualify to join our team. Aren’t you going to thank Young Master Chao and pay him your respects for his kindness?" Kong Yin, with an air of superiority, spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Fan Zhan and his companions’ expressions changed instantly upon hearing this; so, the intent was to recruit them.
"Heh, we appreciate your broad-mindedness, but we are well aware of our place. We won’t bother you any further!" Zuo Zhengqing chuckled dismissively from the side.
Kong Yin’s face darkened on hearing this, and he turned sharply to Zuo Zhengqing, "What do you an by that?"
"Nothing much, we have our leader, and we’ll not ddle with you guys!" Jiang Shi spoke up nonchalantly from the side.
At this mont, Su Qiong also spoke up, "We appreciate your kindness, let’s talk about it once we reach the academy, we still have one more person who hasn’t arrived, we need to discuss a bit more!"
Though the words were spoken gently, the intent to refuse was quite clear.
Kong Yin never dread he would be t with such a response, and he imdiately felt as if he had lost face.
His face darkened as he said, "Hmph, good for you for having so guts. With kind intentions taken for donkey liver and lungs, you’ll see how tough it is once you’re in the academy. It won’t be as easy as you think to join, I advise you to think it through!"
Kong Yin’s tone carried a hint of a threat, and after speaking, he waited silently for the others to reconsider and comply, but what greeted him instead was Su Qiong and his peers’ silence.
Jiang Shi and the others remained silent, not bothering with this full-of-himself dumbass.
"Fine, fine, fine, just wait and see!" Seeing that they remained unmoved, Kong Yin coldly dropped a line and turned to walk away.
From a bit further away, Chao Liang and his companions had been paying attention to the commotion here. Noticing Kong Yin’s disgruntled expression as he walked back and the earlier attitude of the other group, they imdiately guessed a bit of what had transpired.
"Damn, did those idiots actually refuse?" soone at the side couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.
"Tsk, they really think they’re sothing, daring not to give face to our boss. They’ll regret it later!" Another person sneered and laughed.
Chao Liang had already noticed the situation with Fan Zhan out the corner of his eye. Although his face was expressionless, his heart was already ablaze with rage.
"Motherfucker, daring not to give face to , thinking they’re so high and mighty!" Chao Liang suppressed his anger internally.
At that mont, Kong Yin walked back with a cold face.
"Brother Kong, what happened? Did those fuckwits show no appreciation and refuse our boss’s goodwill?" A student in the group quickly asked Kong Yin.
With a harrumph, Kong Yin imdiately embellished the story when repeating it to Chao Liang.
Hearing his words, everyone sneered in resentnt. Enjoy new chapters from .Côm
"Heh, they think they’re sothing special, but they’ll regret it once they’re in the academy, there are still tough days ahead of them!" soone imdiately jeered aloud.
"Exactly, and they even have the nerve to say they have a ’boss’, what kind of bullshit is that, it’s clear they don’t take Young Master Chao seriously. Do they really think that person could rival Young Master Chao?" Another person sneered continuously.
"Don’t rush, we’re almost at the academy. When their dumbass boss shows up, we’ll see how Young Master Chao beats him down like a dog, then watch them kneel and sing ’Conquest’!" Soone else said disdainfully.
"Hahaha, well said, even pleading for forgiveness will be useless by then!" Everyone imdiately began to discuss among themselves, chatting away.
Listeing to the flattering and combative talk of those around him, Chao Liang’s mood improved considerably.
"Boss, since they’re too ignorant to recognize what’s good for them, let’s not bother with them anymore. They’ll be crying once we get to the academy. They claim to have a boss, don’t they? Let’s wait and see just how impressive their boss really is!" Kong Yin sneered.
Chao Liang saw everyone’s righteous indignation and also suppressed the sullenness in his heart, speaking indifferently, "There’s always soone stronger out there, perhaps they really do have so ability. Right now, I’m just the toughest among our three groups. Don’t forget, once we enter the academy, we’ll et students from the other two major regions.
Whether I can maintain my position as boss, that will need to be decided by those from the other two regions, right? Who knows, maybe I’ll have to call soone else ’boss’ by then, like that person those few were talking about who hasn’t shown up yet!"
"No matter what others think, I, Kong Yin, only acknowledge you as the boss!" Kong Yin imdiately stated his position.
Casting lots is the last thing that should be done with any hint of uncertainty, and Kong Yin knew this well. The rest of the group also hurriedly followed suit, expressing their loyalty, acknowledging only Chao Liang—no matter how strong anyone else was, it was useless to them.
Seeing their reactions, Chao Liang internally nodded in approval. Although being rejected by those trash made him uncomfortable, if this could further unite people behind him, it was worth it.
As for the beauty, with his qualifications, once in the academy, what kind of woman couldn’t he find? At the very least, he could find soone of Wu Rao’s caliber.
"Heh, there’s no need for everyone to be so indignant. Everyone has their own aspirations; we should respect their choices!" Chao Liang said magnanimously, yet at the bottom of his heart, he harbored a silent grudge.
