Chapter 628: Verbal sparring
"Everyone should be here now, right?"
Su Lin looked at the crowd and answered to himself.
I saw more familiar faces among them, such as Jiang Yuyan from the Shenwu Sect and Zhao Qi from the Xuanling Sect.
What's unbelievable is that this guy still has the guts to come here? However, when he saw an old man beside him, Su Lin understood everything.
Judging from his respectful attitude, this old man's status has been explained. If his guess is correct, he should be his master.
And this guy is Su Lin's main target today. As for Zhao Qi and the Xuanling Sect disciples behind him, they can be completely ignored. They are not even a threat.
"Master, he is the Su Lin I mentioned."
Zhao Qi quickly discovered today's protagonist, with a trace of disdain in his eyes, as if the presence of his master would bring him enough confidence.
He has become arrogant now, even walking unsteadily. Looking at the strutting look, I don't know, he thought he was doing something to honor his ancestors.
The people from the Xuanling Sect came to Su Lin almost at the same time as the people from the Shenwu Sect. As a junior, Jiang Yuyan still saluted Zhao Qi's master, "It turns out to be Uncle Yungong. Why, you are here in person today?"
From the perspective of the Shenwu Sect, Jiang Yuyan didn't understand the situation at all. No matter what, the Yunlan Sect didn't have such a big reputation.
However, when she glanced at Zhao Qi's hateful look towards Su Lin, she immediately understood that it must have come from him.
The Xuanling Sect and the others did not look down upon Jiang Yuyan. After all, in their opinion, the Northern Sect was just a weakling who was not worthy of their attention.
"Are you Su Lin?"
Yun Gong opened his mouth and introduced himself solemnly, emphasizing his identity: "The third elder of Xuanling Sect, in charge of the Punishment Hall."
What is this punishment hall for? In fact, it is equivalent to the legal system within the sect. If any disciple violates the sect's rules, they will punish them.
Therefore, the status of these three elders in Xuanling Sect is, in a sense, higher than that of the sect leader, because the disciples are afraid and no one dares to offend them.
Otherwise, what if they commit something in the future and avenge themselves publicly?
Jiang Yuyan stood aside and looked at the attitude and posture between the two. It was obvious that something was wrong. The eyes seemed to have two rays of light constantly intersecting, resisting and attacking.
But neither one is convinced by the other. If the scene were changed, the two might have started fighting.
But just because Su Lin refused to give in and looked calm and fearless, Yun Gong couldn't help but feel uneasy in his heart.
I thought to myself, where did this young man come from?
Looking at this cultivation level again, in the early stage of foundation building, it is only a small level away from him, but at his age, he can already be regarded as one of the few in ten million, and in the future, his potential will be endless.
Therefore, Yun Gong had to wonder if there was any more powerful force behind Su Lin?
After all, a casual cultivator would never have such strength on his own!
Moreover, the Yunlan Sect's acceptance of this initiation ceremony and the addition of the honorary elder position to Su Lin has already explained everything.
Thinking of this, Yun Gong finally took a breath and decided to give in temporarily, "Brother Su, we still have some grudges, why don't we have a good chat? This may be some misunderstanding. This disciple of mine acts recklessly. If someone offends someone, Brother Su, please forgive me."
Hearing this, Zhao Qi was obviously unhappy. He looked at Yun Gong with disbelief on his face.
how so?
Could it be that with Master's great strength, he is also afraid of him?
However, he did not have the guts to go against his master's words, so he took the initiative to apologize. However, it could be seen from the tone and his posture that there was no sincerity at all, and it was definitely not from the heart.
"Hmph." Of course, Su Lin didn't look at him seriously. The big shots were all here. How could he, a small character like him, be so obvious?
Jumping out is just causing trouble for yourself.
As if seeing what Su Lin was thinking, Yun Gong immediately scolded Zhao Qi, "It seems you didn't sincerely apologize to Brother Su?"
"Zhangzui, when does Brother Su say stop, you can stop!"
Zhao Qi raised his hand, looking very embarrassed. He still hoped for Yun Gong, thinking that he was just pretending, but at this moment, he was completely wrong. Yun Gong was serious.
He was just a disciple, how could he offend Su Lin and even the powerful force behind him because of him?
Zhao Qi is not as important as he imagined. This is the tragedy of a small person.
Snapped! Snapped!
The slaps were very crisp, one after another. This move made Su Lin want to laugh a little. This guy really asked for trouble.
However, he didn't buy it, but chose to ignore it until Zhao Qi's face became visibly swollen.
How could an ordinary person hit himself to this extent?
At this moment, Zhao Qi had collapsed. He looked at his master, hoping to get an order to stop.
But Yun Gong looked at Su Lin with a scheming smile, as if he wanted to get his answer. As long as Su Lin gave the order, it meant that he agreed to the peace talks, and the two things became one and the same.
However, Su Lin completely chose to ignore it. In the end, Zhao Qi had no choice but to fall to the ground and pretend to faint.
But anyone with a discerning eye knows that with his cultivation, how could he faint because of these slaps? That's too weak.
However, Su Lin did not expose it. This ridiculous behavior has proved that he is a clown and is not to be feared.
"Brother Su, you should also know why I came today? It's not just to participate in your ceremony of entering the Yunlan Sect. More importantly, it's the Qingyun Sword that my disciple lost a few days ago."
"I think you also know that this is the sacred object of our Xuanling Sect and is very important."
"So, I hope there can be a deal between you and me. As long as you return this Qingyun Sword, everything will be fine."
Su Lin did not answer, but just smiled slightly, and then turned around, with a hint of not talking to him.
However, this is just a long-term plan to catch a big fish. If you are too eager to agree, this old fox may have some ideas in his mind.
The longer he drags it out, the more anxious he will be, and in the end, the bigger the chips he will offer.
"The ceremony is about to start. I think we should talk about these things after it's over."
At this time, Jiang Tai had come to the center of the square and announced to everyone that Su Lin was invited to the stage.
Yun Gong could only stand there with an unpleasant expression. After Su Lin left, he spoke to Zhao Qi on the ground, "Useless thing, that's enough, let's go. Hurry up and get up. Don't embarrass me here!"
