Hou Ning noticed the sounds he was making as well, and slowly lifted his hand up to his mouth with a shocked face. Once he felt the usual teeth lacking, his face contorted in a mix of despair and anger, he made a banshee-like scream while looking at Xiao Long like he wanted to tear him into a million pieces, and fainted soon after. He was injured after all.The crowd was murmuring in low voices, everyone was too shocked to comment. Noah almost felt pity for the guy, no one was going to take him seriously anymore in the sect because of this incident, and the lacking teeth was a even harder blow. He was going to be a laughing stock for who knows how long. He was definitely going to become insane this way.
A figure suddenly appeared besides the fainted Hou Ning at great speeds, picking him up and glaring at the uncaring Xiao Long with hatred. The whole crowd had suddenly gone silent, Noah heard some of them whispering.
"That"s Hou Ning father Elder Hou Chen! I heard he is very close to becoming a inner Elder!!"
"Elder Hou Chen is here, Xiao Long is screwed now!!"
Noah discovered the new visitor ident.i.ty by the whispers, and just as he expected, it was Hou Ning parent, one of the reasons he acted so arrogant in the sect. In this sect, there are inner elders and outer elders, with the inner elders having way more authority than the outer ones. Outer elders have slightly more authority than inner disciples.
Hou Ning dad was thought to be the closest among the outer elders to become a inner one, so much that practically considered him one. He stood up with Hou Ning still on the ground, and with a face full of anger, pointed his finger at Xiao Long.
"How dare you hurt my son so badly in a friendly match, and aim to kill him!! I will cripple you for breaking the rules!!!" He was just Noah expected, very shameless. He completely ignored the part where his son threatened to cripple Xiao Long, and made it look like he did it for fun.
"You...!" Xiao Long was glaring at him with his fists clenched, Hou Chen was pressuring him with his difference in strength. Xiao Long couldn"t even move while he watched Hou Chen getting near him step by step, Noah thought he was probably having some of these "revelations" about how he needed power and how he was nothing without it, that stuff that all protagonists feel.
When Hou Chen was seriously near Xiao Long and was about to hit him, a voice loudly shouted something that paused his fist. Noah was also surprised for a second, finding the voice familiar.
"HOU CHEN, STOP RIGHT NOW!!!"
The Martial Arts Pavillion Elder came to the stage, step by step with his hands behind his back. He glanced coldly at Hou Chen whose already enraged face got even more enraged.

"He broke the rules!! He tried to kill my son!!" He didn"t gave up yet.
"Do I have to say it twice?" The Martial Arts Pavillion Elder didn"t care.
Hou Chen glared at him, and backed off, seemingly afraid of something. He glanced at Xiao Long like he would eat him alive and left with his son, still full of rage.
Xiao Long glanced at the Elder with a face filled with emotions, but before he could thank him, the Elder said he didn"t need any thanks and left just like that.
The crowd was in chaos at the moment, and Noah wasn"t that surprised. Elders who guarded the sect martial arts must be strong for obvious reasons, and he was the only Elder Xiao Long could come in contact with frequently.
