What a Delightful Face-Slapping Scene
Lu Ping chose B.
[You chose B.]
[You stood there, not even lifting an eyelid.]
[Bully at Home, effective.]
[Both belong to the Azure Cloud Sect. He is at the Golden Core Early Stage. You are at the Nascent Soul Early Stage. Both are invincible at the same level, yet you are just a mere Golden Core cultivator...]
[The physical body at the Fourth Layer the Hundred-Forged Medicine Body Formula...]
[You even silently think to yourself, I need to hold back a bit, lest I accidentally break someone; that wouldn't look good.]
[Faced with that overwhelming pressure, you didn't use a single trace of Spiritual Power.]
[You simply raised your hand, as if shooing away a buzzing fly, and casually waved it away.]
["Snap--"]
A crisp sound rang out in Mountain Gate.
[Before the Golden Core Deacon could even wipe the mocking smile from his lips, he was sent spinning like a top through the air, spun a dozen times, and then crashed heavily into the thick White Jade Stone Pillar at the Mountain Gate with a loud "boom."]
[The stone pillar cracked instantly, and spiderweb-like fissures spread out.]
The Deacon was impaled in the stone, coughing up a mouthful of blood. His head lolled to the side, and he fainted.
[I couldn't even pry it off.]
[The physical body of Golden Core True Person is indeed formidable, far surpassing that of a stone pillar.]
It's hard to say whether he fainted from being hit or from being angry.
[What a delightful face-slapping scene!]
[You've even forgotten when the last time you were slapped in the face was.]
[The entire audience fell silent.]
The gatekeepers' minds went blank.
[They often harassed the Outer Sect Disciples, taking advantage of their position as gatekeepers.]
[But when have they ever seen anything like this?]
[A Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator slapped a Golden Core Stage Inner Sect Deacon flying?]
The disciple who had just crushed the Sound Transmission Talisman was now experiencing uncontrollable leg tremors.
The longsword in his hand clattered to the ground.
He wanted to run, but he didn't dare to move a single step.
He was terrified that you'd slap him across the face next.
[With his Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation, he probably wouldn't even qualify to be embedded in the pillar; he'd simply turn into a bloody mist.]
The look in their eyes shifted from mockery to fear, as if they were looking at a Great Demon in its Transformation Stage.
[Options pop up.]
[A: Sincerely apologizes, explaining that they come from the Border Region and are unsophisticated, never expecting people from the Central Region to greet them like this.]
[B: Step forward, pry the Deacon out of the pillar, and check if the Storage Bag is still there.]
[C: Take out the Recording Stone, make a peace sign in front of the human-shaped hole in the pillar, and post it on WeChat Moments with the caption: "The new company environment is nice, but the colleagues are too enthusiastic and insist on being featured on the wall."]
Little A?!
Are you still Little A?
Little A, blink! Have you been possessed by Little B?
As for Little B, is that okay?
Garlic Bird, Lu·Poor Ghost True Lord ·Ping, is now a man with Passive Income.
In the middle of nowhere, looting is no problem.
In public, you should probably tone it down.
The weak and helpless Little C sits forever on the sidelines, the cold wind blowing across its desolate body.
Lu Ping didn't even have the urge to glance at it.
Lu Ping chose A.
[You chose A.]
You rubbed your wrist.
[You look at the Deacon embedded in the pillar, his words as calm as if he were stating the day's weather.]
["Feel sorry."]
"They're from the Border Region, haven't seen much of the world, and their stress response is a bit strong."
Just then, a streak of Escape Light shot across the sky and landed in Mountain Gate.
[The Escape Light dissipated, revealing Han Shishan.]
[He stared at the Golden Core Deacon embedded in the pillar, first stunned, then his eye twitched twice.]
[Then, a strange sense of pleasure rose within him.]
[This idiot who got slapped into the wall is a spy planted in the External Affairs Hall by his rival within the sect; he's caused him no shortage of trouble.]
[It's just that I haven't been able to catch his mistakes on a regular basis.]
[Moreover, Han Shishan was already struggling to cope with the internal strife within the sect, so he hadn't had the time to deal with this person.]
Today, this fool actually ran headfirst into a rock as solid as yours.
[Judging from his mangled and bloody state, it will take him at least several years to recover.]
Han Shishan even wanted to laugh out loud three times.
[But Han Shishan knows you're an unreasonable, living devil.]
[If you lose your temper and tear down the entire Mountain Gate, he'll have to take the blame.]
[Or we could just tear it down too, which would be counterproductive.]
Han Shishan quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.
He walked quickly to you and sighed.
"Lu Ping! I know you're new here and a little lost. But your 'stress reaction' is way too much!"
"The 'Protective Gang Qi' I bestowed upon you is for self-defense; how could you activate it so casually!"
[An old fox is an old fox; with just one sentence, he defined the nature of the matter.]
[And they even conveniently portrayed you as a frightened, innocent, and vulnerable person.]
[Then, without giving anyone else time to react, Han Shishan calmly looked at his disciples.]
["Thump--"]
Several Foundation Establishment disciples' knees buckled, and they all knelt on the ground, not daring to lift their heads.
[Han Shishan pointed to the Golden Core Deacon embedded in the pillar and said,]
"This person, as Inner Sect Deacon, has an unstable Dao Heart and Qi Deviation!"
"He lost his mind in the sacred grounds of the Mountain Gate and openly attacked his fellow disciples!"
"If it weren't for my Protective Gang Qi on Lu Ping, wouldn't he be dead at his hands today?!"
[The entire audience fell silent.]
The gatekeepers lay prostrate on the ground, nodding frantically, their backs soaked with cold sweat.
[Nascent Soul Elder said it was Qi Deviation, then it was Qi Deviation.]
Who dares to utter a single word of "no"?
[Han Shishan waved his sleeve and coldly delivered his verdict.]
"What are you all standing there for?!"
"Hurry up and pry off this Qi Deviation creature and send him directly to the Law Enforcement Hall!"
"I witnessed today's events with my own eyes! Anyone who has doubts may come with me to the Sect Master to present their case."
The gatekeepers dared not linger any longer.
[They used every ounce of their strength to pry the Golden Core Deacon out of the stone.]
[They carried their limp bodies away, slinking away in disgrace.]
[Han Shishan finished his chores, turned around, and a smile spread across his face.]
"Junior Nephew Lu, I'm sorry you had to go through that. In a large sect, there are always a few bad apples. Come, I'll take you to the outer sect to settle down first."
[Options pop up.]
[A: Following Han Shishan's instructions, I settled down in the outer sect and focused on developing my skills discreetly.]
[B: I want to squeeze in with Han Shishan.]
[C: He rushed straight to the Main Hall the Azure Cloud Sect, slapped the teacup out of the Azure Cloud Sect Master's hand, and arrogantly said, "Still drinking! I've come to collect your teacups!"]
