The looks from the many fellow disciples seemed somewhat panicked...
But that was nothing. As long as they were not curious, eager to investigate, or finding it exciting, it was no great matter.
Li Changshou had long expected these reactions from his peers around him.
His only concern was whether this small way of punishing the other party would displease the Sect Elders and bring reprimand or blame upon him.
Li Changshou had weighed this matter carefully.
When the other party had spoken to provoke him, he had already insulted all the predecessors of Lesser Qiong Peak.
If Li Changshou did not respond, people might think, 'This fellow is deeply scheming,' and become wary of him, damaging his image as a mediocre immortal seedling.
By responding like this and punishing him a little, without hurting him and with an element of jest involved, he could make people feel that he repaid grudges on the spot and was not deeply calculating...
Li Changshou went straight back to his meditation cushion and sat down. His gaze swept around, and the disciples all turned their heads or lowered their eyes, not daring to meet his gaze.
He glanced a few times at his little Martial Uncle, who was laughing so hard she could barely catch her breath. Inwardly marveling at the wonders of Creation of heaven and earth and the splendor of living beings, he closed his eyes to rest and recuperate, 'recovering his Dharma power' while secretly casting the Wind Whisper Spell to eavesdrop everywhere.
Very soon, Li Changshou smiled faintly to himself.
More than half the Sect Elders who had reacted were inclined toward his side.
Though the favor owed over the Ambition Pill played a part, everyone was reasonable. Most felt that the Xianlin Peak disciple had been disrespectful first.
