So It Was You (Seeking Follow-ups, Monthly Votes, Recommendation Tickets)

"Fu Chao?"

Wei Henian was slightly taken aback; he had not expected this newcomer to come knocking on his door.

A mere piece of trash at the Qi Refining stage, yet he dared to oppose him?

"Senior Brother Wei, I truly didn't expect to see such a lively scene today. You've really made something of yourself—a Foundation Establishment expert, actually forming that, what was it called? That society?"

Fu Chao sneered, acting as if he had forgotten the name of the "Ten Thousand Laws Society" as he spoke.

Finally, he put on an expression of sudden realization.

"Right! That 'Ten Thousand Laws Society' of yours. Exploiting the handymen and outer sect disciples—aren't you ashamed of yourself?"

"Fu Chao! You dare to oppose me?"

Hearing Fu Chao's blunt words, Wei Henian's expression turned terrifyingly dark.

If it had been the old man surnamed Zhong from earlier, it would have been a clash between peers, but now, a mere Qi Refining stage brat was mocking him at every turn, which infuriated him to the core.

Had Fu Chao not possessed excellent spiritual roots and been specially recruited into the ranks of the true disciples, he would have wanted to slap him to death right then and there!

In the Divine Firmament Dao Sect, true disciples held special privileges.

If handymen or outer sect disciples offended a true disciple, they could be executed on the spot without the need for a sect trial.

As long as the true disciple wrote a report afterward explaining the reason, the sect would generally not interfere.

However, Fu Chao's status was different now, and no matter how angry Wei Henian was, he dared not strike him in this setting.

"Oppose you? Are you even worthy? What are you?"

Fu Chao chuckled and said dismissively, "You're just a piece of trash from a rogue cultivator background who managed to reach this point with a bit of talent. If you stayed in your lane as a true disciple, you might have eventually been promoted to an elder. But you shouldn't have developed ambitions you have no right to! You know exactly what you've done!"

"Whoa..."

As soon as Fu Chao's words fell, the entire crowd erupted in an uproar.

No one had expected Fu Chao to say something so explosive!

It seemed this involved a struggle between true disciples!

"Good! Good! Good! I understand now! It's all because of your big brother, isn't it? You think your Fu Family is so impressive that you can act like kings and tyrants within the Divine Firmament Dao Sect? Let me tell you, you're wrong—dead wrong! You family factions will never be able to dream of attaining higher positions!"

Wei Henian finally understood.

Everything had come to light!

He and Fu Chao's older brother were rivals within the sect, and there was deep-seated resentment between them.

Fu Chao had only just entered the sect, yet he was already openly inciting a conflict between the two sides.

This incident was the first strike Fu Chao had launched against Wei Henian!

"Tsk tsk..."

Fu Chao picked at his ear with disdain, sneered, and said, "That's a matter for the future. As for our Fu Family, we'll take you down first! Let everyone see what happens to those who oppose my brother!"

Fu Chao did not hide his intentions; an arrogant person like him was the same wherever he went.

He wanted to tell everyone clearly: I am out to get you!

"Hmph! In that case, we shall see!"

Wei Henian let out a cold snort. Now that he understood what was going on, he naturally had to fight back.

As for the matter of forming the "Ten Thousand Laws Society" and collecting contribution points from outer sect disciples and handymen, if he were merely an inner sect disciple, he would be finished.

But he was a true disciple; by paying a certain price, he could still emerge unscathed.

This charge alone could not kill a true disciple!

Once he returned, Wei Henian would prepare to strike back against the Fu Family!

"Hmph!"

Fu Chao snorted coldly; he didn't fear the consequences of his actions!

Their Fu Family also had backers and powerful figures within the Divine Firmament Dao Sect.

He truly did not fear someone with such shallow foundations as Wei Henian.

At this moment, Fu Chao scanned the onlookers, and suddenly, his eyes lit up as his gaze landed on Li Yunjing.

Oh no!

Meeting Fu Chao's gaze, Li Yunjing felt his heart tighten. He had been targeted by this wicked young master.

Only now did Li Yunjing truly witness Fu Chao's might.

He finally understood how formidable this person was; it seemed he had only been riding on Yu Yunyi's coattails last time, otherwise, his own fate would not have been pleasant.

This time, without Yu Yunyi by his side, would he be dealt with by Fu Chao today?

"Oh my! Isn't this Brother Li?"

While Li Yunjing was lost in his thoughts, Fu Chao strode toward him.

At this moment, Wei Henian, who had been about to leave the Elegant Fragrance Garden, paused and couldn't help but turn his head to look.

That sinister gaze fell right into Li Yunjing's eyes.

"Damn it! Fu Chao is trying to sabotage me!"

This was Li Yunjing's first thought.

He was sharp enough to immediately realize that this was Fu Chao's scheme to use Wei Henian to deal with him.

People from prominent families were truly insidious!

"Hahaha! So it's Brother Fu! Long time no see. I didn't expect Brother Fu to be so prominent today; it's enough to make others green with envy!"

With a roll of his eyes, a plan formed in Li Yunjing's mind, and he walked toward Fu Chao with an enthusiastic expression.

Hmm? This kid wants to borrow my influence?

Fu Chao frowned slightly, not expecting Li Yunjing to react so quickly.

Interesting! Then let's play along! Let's see if you can use my reputation to make a name for yourself among the chore disciples!

Thinking of this, Fu Chao became even more enthusiastic.

He grabbed Li Yunjing's arm, looked him up and down, and secretly sent a voice transmission: "Kid, I'll play a game with you! Since we're good brothers, you wouldn't mind helping me settle the 'Ten Thousand Laws Society', would you?"

Without giving Li Yunjing a chance to speak, Fu Chao turned to scan his surroundings. His gaze was incredibly sharp, causing many chore disciples and outer sect disciples to lower their heads involuntarily.

"Listen up! Li Yunjing is my good brother! Among the outer sect and chore disciples, whoever dares to give him a hard time is giving me, Fu Chao, a hard time! You all better listen well! Whoever offends Li Yunjing will meet a miserable end!"

Fu Chao roared, and as he spoke the last sentence, he looked provocatively at Wei Henian.

Heh heh! Fine! You want to play? I'll play you to death!

Wei Henian sneered repeatedly, finally casting a cold glance at Li Yunjing—a look so icy it was as if he were staring at a dead man.

After glaring fiercely at Li Yunjing, Wei Henian led his inner sect disciples out of the "Elegant Fragrance Garden".

"Damn it! This young master from a prominent family isn't a fool; is he trying to get me killed?"

Li Yunjing was speechless.

Wei Henian's gaze was so terrifying that Li Yunjing's heart was thumping wildly!

Meanwhile, the Law Enforcement Hall disciples nearby acted as if they had seen and heard nothing.

The old Daoist surnamed Zhong, who had been throwing his weight around earlier, seemed to have fallen asleep.

It wasn't until Wei Henian had left that he waved his hand and led the Law Enforcement Hall disciples away, escorting Yang Chun, Kong Shi, Ji Chi, and the others out of the "Elegant Fragrance Garden".

From start to finish, he hadn't said a single word to Fu Chao.
