Chapter 124 Tes
Elder He"s face darkened when he saw three people suddenly appear in the middle of the arena. "Elder Fang… Elder Mo!" his face turned cordial. He immediately wondered why these two came down the mountains. Were the rumors about Fang Yu welcoming her disciple true? But who could it be?
"Elder He," Fang Yu nodded at the old man. "Is there something that you want to tell me?"
"Elder Fang… this was nothing but a small misunderstanding among children. Let"s not involve ourselves in this matter." While Elder He was also an Elder, he was not as powerful as Elder Mo Li who stood behind his wife. Aside from this, his talent in potioneering was not as excellent as the woman before him. Therefore, he immediately chose not to offend both of them.
"Is that so?" Fang Yu lifted an eyebrow before she looked at Dongfang Liutao. "What happened here."
"Elder…" Liutao immediately walked towards Fang Yu and Mo Li. "My name is Dongfang Liutao, I am a personal disciple of Elder He. I was walking around earlier when I heard these three people cursed… an Elder. I heard them wished an elder is dead."
"Hm? Who is that elder?" Fang Yu asked. Of course, she already saw what happened earlier as she and Mo Li were watching from the mountain. Her goal here was simple, she wanted to see if the reincarnator that would kill Dong Hu would appear. She wasn"t really planning to reveal herself until the end of the test.
"I— It"s you Elder Fang. These three people cursed you." Dongfang Liutao"s face was extremely sincere as if he was really concerned about this matter.
"Really?" Fang Yu"s gaze immediately landed on Ji Tian. "Come."
"Elder!" Ji Tian fought the smile on his face when he saw the beautiful woman who saved him before. Just like Dongfang Liutao, he also bowed.
"Speak." Fang Yu said coldly.
"I— Elder Fang… I was only asking them about you since I was curious. And this… this man here approached us and suddenly said that we were cursing an elder. This is not true. I would never curse someone." Especially, my master, he wanted to add but ended up not saying it. Fang Yu never really acknowledged him yet.
"Elder Fang… this…" Elder He chimed in. "My disciple is someone from the prestigious Dongfang Family. I am certain that he would never lie."
"Hmmm." Fang Yu nodded. "Ji Tian…" she called the young man. "Introduce yourself to these people"
Her words immediately made the people surrounding this gasp in astonishment. Does this mean that Elder Fang"s disciple is this young man whose clothes were full of patches and holes?
"My name is Ji Tian and I am Elder Fang"s disciple."
Fang Yu nodded and looked at the pale Dongfang Liutao and Elder He. "Are you saying that my own disciple is cursing me to die?"
Elder He frowned. Clearly, he never expected this situation to change just like this. "Liutao… you…"
"Elder He…" Dongfang Liutao"s face was so pale, his hand started shaking. He immediately wondered if Elder Fang would punish him for lying. If this happens then his father would surely kill him! "Elder He… I … I am not lying." He managed to say.
His words earn a sneer from Fang Yu. "Elder He… the only reason why this man is still alive is because of you." Fang Yu remembered that Elder He is a good friend of the Sect Master. So, she chose not to kill this Dongfang Liutao. Moreover, she wanted the elder to owe her a favor.
Elder He let out a sigh of relief as he forced a smile out of his aged face. "Thank you Elder Fang." He gave a slight bow towards Elder Fang before he dragged Dongfang Liutao away from the crowd surrounding them.
"Go and continue the testing," Mo Li said, frowning as he pulled Fang Yu away from everyone"s gaze. "I thought you would choose someone with a rare spirit root. This man only has a common spirit root. Are you sure you wanted to teach him?" He sent a voice transmission.
"Are you underestimating me?" she responded.
"Of course not. But I am underestimating your disciple."
Fang Yu chuckled. "You shouldn"t. My disciple will beat yours one day."
"Oh? Do you want to bet?"
Almost immediately Fang Yu froze. Betting … and promises. She hated those two. "Nope."
Under everyone"s gaze, Mo Li pulled her towards him. "Not very confident?" He raised an eyebrow and brushed his lips against hers.
"We are still in the arena." Fang Yu pushed him away. "Do you want my master to kill you?"
He laughed in response and eyed the two people following them. "Dong Hu… follow me." He uttered. He was planning to give Fang Yu some time to talk to her disciple. He knew that this man should be Fang Yu"s first disciple so she might need a few minutes alone with this child. His gaze lingered towards Ji Tian"s small frame. For a few seconds, Ji Tian froze, unable to understand the suffocating gaze that Mo Li gave him.
Did he do something wrong?
In front of him and Dong Hu, Mo Li kissed Fang Yu before flying away with his disciple.
"That man…" Fang Yu sighed. Was it necessary to show off in front of the male lead? It"s not like the male lead will like Fang Yu who is already older than this young man"s grandmother. She looked at Ji Tian"s innocent face. "Follow me. I will give you a cave." She raised her hand and almost immediately Ji Tian"s feet started floating. His eyes widened, mouth agape. Is he going to fly towards the cave?
Fang Yu only smiled when she saw this reaction. The reason why the original Fang Yu fell in love with the male lead was because of his pureness. This man was always kind and gentle. He was not arrogant or boastful. He was also humble and hardworking.
She looked at the arena one last time. She knew that the reincarnator was one of those students. However, her robot could not exactly pinpoint the reincarnator"s ident.i.ty. Too bad.
She needed to check out everyone who will pa.s.s the test today.
