Translator: 549690339
“This is Disciple Fang Lin, right? Oh, Miss Dugu is here as well. This bamboo appreciation eting is certainly bustling.” Yu Qiufan suddenly looked towards Fang Lin and Dugu Nian, speaking with a face full of smiles.
Fang Lin’s lips twitched upward, yet he pretended to be puzzled and asked, “What is the full na of this elder brother? I am new here, and there are so faces I do not quite recognize.”
Dugu Nian also scoffed on the side, saying, “Who are you? I don’t know you.” Dugu Nian truly didn’t recognize Yu Qiufan, whereas Fang Lin was pretending not to know him.
Yu Qiufan kept smiling, not angry at all, “Disciple Fang and Miss Dugu actually don’t know , I feel so flattered. My na is Yu Qiufan, not an unknown na. It’s normal for Miss Dugu not to know , but I suppose Fang Lin must have heard of my na.”
Fang Lin pretended to be in surprise and looked at Yu Qiufan with astonishnt, “So you’re Elder Brother Yu Qiufan, I was wondering why you were so distinguished and extraordinary. No wonder, I really have been blind and ignorant, I apologize for my rudeness.”
The others in the field all wore curious expressions at Fang Lin’s slightly exaggerated reaction.
The grudge between Yu Qiufan and Fang Lin was well-known in the Pill Sect.
Nobody believed that Fang Lin wouldn’t recognize Yu Qiufan. His pretense and his words were clearly deliberate.
Yu Qiufan, a man of great city, did not show his emotions. After a brief conversation with Fang Lin, he ignored him.
As for Ding Xuanji, his face was cold, and there was a faint murderous intent in his eyes.
Fang Lin deliberately looked at Ding Xuanji, unafraid and maintaining eye contact.
Ding Xuanji frowned and said, “Fang Lin, what are you looking at?”
At these words, Yu Qiufan, ng Chaoyang, and Ouyang Jing all turned their heads, and others also looked at Fang Lin and Ding Xuanji. The atmosphere was sowhat tense.
Yu Qiufan gave Ding Xuanji a look, indicating him not to be impulsive. However, Ding Xuanji disregarded it, staring at Fang Lin.
ng Chaoyang coughed, deliberately changing the topic, “Disciple Ding, I wonder what treasures you brought to this Bamboo Appreciation eting for us to admire?”
A cold smile appeared on Ding Xuanji’s lips. “There are certainly treasures, but one person here does not deserve to stand among us.”
Seeing that Ding Xuanji really wanted to make things difficult for Fang Lin, Yu Qiufan frowned, thought for a while, and decided not to get involved.
Firstly, he was wary of Fang Lin’s ability. Secondly, without a thorough understanding of the situation, he would not take risks.
Regarding Ding Xuanji’s rash actions, while Yu Qiufan was helpless, he was more reluctant to assist and chose to observe from the sidelines.
“Oh? I wonder which person Disciple Ding thinks does not deserve to be here?
Please enlighten us. If he is truly unworthy as you say, we will drive him out.” Several disciples from the Martial Sect walked over. The one leading them was tall and burly, his face stern. As he spoke, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally landed on Fang Lin.
ng Chaoyang and Ouyang Jing both looked sowhat unhappy. The situation might beco unmanageable now that the Martial Sect disciples were getting involved.
Ding Xuanji looked at Fang Lin, and said coldly, “This man, Fang Lin.”
When the na Fang Lin was ntioned, nobody present was surprised. Many cast sympathetic glances at Fang Lin, figuring he was in for so humiliation being targeted by Ding Xuanji.
“Ding Xuanji, what do you an by that? How is Fang Lin not worthy to be here?” Ouyang Jing’s tone beca harsh.
Ouyang Jing was already in disagreent with Ding Xuanji. Everyone in the Pill Sect knew this. The two had fought more than once and were incompatible. Now that Ding Xuanji wanted to make things difficult for Fang Lin, whom Ouyang Jing had a good impression of, he naturally wanted to help. ng Chaoyang also spoke coldly, “Disciple Ding, I personally invited Fang Lin here. If you want to do sothing to him, you have to ask first!”
Two of the Four Elites of Pill Sect had spoken out, indicating they sided with
Fang Lin. As for Yu Qiufan, he remained silent, apparently indifferent to it all.
From the beginning, Ding Xuanji never expected Yu Qiufan to help him. He had planned to deal with Fang Lin himself, which was why he had already arranged for people from the Martial Sect to assist him.
The towering man from the Martial Sect glanced at Ouyang Jing and ng Chaoyang. “I think Ding Xuanji is right. This Fang Lin is not fit to be here. He is rely an inferior disciple. Look at us here, at least all of us are interdiate disciples. What is he doing here?”
ng Chaoyang angrily replied, “Fang Lin was invited by . If I say he can be here, then he can be here.”
Ding Xuanji sneered, “ng Chaoyang, I haven’t tallied with you for what happened at the dicine-seeking Peak, do you want to go against now?”
Ouyang Jing also said, “Fang Lin has made great contributions to our Pill Sect. Even if he is just a low-rank disciple, he has the right to be here. I think the one who really doesn’t qualify to be here is you, Ding Xuanji.”
Ding Xuanji suddenly turned around and glared at Ouyang Jing.
The people present were shocked. They didn’t expect this bamboo appreciation eting would take such a turn right from the start.
“Won’t any of you ask for my opinion?” At this mont, Fang Lin suddenly spoke up.
Everyone was taken aback, their expressions becoming even more strange.
Fang Lin looked at Ding Xuanji seriously, and asked, “You want to drive away?
Ding Xuanji sneered, “Yes, I want you to get out!”
Fang Lin smiled, his smile seed so bright and innocent.
But the next mont, what Fang Lin did was beyond everyone’s expectation.
In the blink of an eye, Fang Lin, swift as a ghost, rushed in front of Ding Xuanji, and slapped him squarely in the face.
After that, Fang Lin instantly returned to his original position, appearing as if nothing had happened.
This happened so quickly that many people didn’t see it coming. All they saw was a red handprint appearing on Ding Xuanji’s face.
Ding Xuanji stood there, stunned, as if his mind had been slapped away by Fang Lin’s palm.
Everyone looked at Fang Lin in astonishnt. No one expected him to strike first and so decisively, smacking Ding Xuanji square in the face.
Hitting soone is one thing, but hitting soone in the face harms their dignity. Everyone knew this.
But Fang Lin indeed slapped Ding Xuanji right in the face, which was an imnse insult to Ding Xuanji.
“If you can fight, don’t waste your words. Don’t you get tired of talking all day?” Fang Lin pouted, speaking in an indifferent tone..
