...
"Tsk, he ran away. Such a coward." The girl looked at the chaotic ground in front of her but didn't find a trace of the person. Her tone was disdainful as she muttered to herself, revealing a hint of unwillingness on her face.
The person was too fast, so fast that even she, a Spirit Ancestor at level 42, couldn't react in time and let him slip away right under her nose. The speed frightened her.
Nangong Lin couldn't help gritting her teeth, feeling a deep sense of frustration rising from the depths of her heart.
Did he intentionally let me catch up with him? Was he teasing me?
"Damn it!"
Nangong Lin couldn't help but roar in anger. Her clenched right fist crashed onto the ground, venting her excitement.
Boom~
The fist struck the ground, cracking even the hard stone slabs. The powerful force spread in all directions, creating a surge of air waves. The surrounding disciples staggered under the force, their feet unstable.
Nangong Lin had quite a reputation in the sect. As a prominent figure on the Black Spirit List and the second-in-command of the Red Sakura organization, she was quite active in the sect, and everyone knew her.
No one dared to approach and console her while she was raging, afraid of being hit.
"Darling, where are you?" A loud and clear voice echoed, and everyone turned to look. They saw Hong Jie, the president of the Red Sakura group and the eldest sister of the sect, pulling a girl's hand, quickly running towards them.
"Oh? Lin, you're here too." Hong Jie spotted Nangong Lin and quickly ran to her with the girl, stopping in front of her.
Finally, they stopped.
"Ah...hoo...hoo..." Mi Lanlan bent over, hands on her knees, her chest heaving heavily, gasping for breath. She had been forcibly dragged along, and the intense exercise had depleted her energy, making her feel like she was going to die.
"Eh? Lin, what happened to you? Did you fight with someone?" Hong Jie noticed the anger in Nangong Lin's eyes, as well as the chaotic ground, and couldn't help but ask.
Before Nangong Lin could answer, Hong Jie remembered something and quickly asked again "Did you see my beloved?"
Your beloved?
Hearing this term of endearment, Nangong Lin's eyebrow twitched. They hadn't even met, and Hong Jie was already using such a term for that person? Did she even plan the name for their future children?
What an idiot.
Nangong Lin couldn't understand why she, with her nerve wracking personality, had been pushed into such a situation. What went wrong?
"He escaped." Nangong Lin clenched her fists tightly and through gritted teeth, she spat out a few words.
"Escaped?" Hong Jie was momentarily stunned, but then she burst into a cheerful laugh.
"Hahaha! To actually escape from your grasp, he indeed deserves my attention. Hahaha~"
This girl...
Watching Hong Jie's laughter, Nangong Lin couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth. Was she mocking me? After wasting my practice time helping you catch him, this is how I'm rewarded with a good laugh.
But, it wasn't entirely fruitless.
Nangong Lin recalled the appearance of that person, and a slight smile curved on her lips.
Although he got away, it was a bit disappointing. However, it also proved that his strength was not weak, which made him an interesting opponent.
Next time, I'll make you taste the power of my fist!
In the following days, chaos reigned within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Every day, a group of disciples could be seen chasing after a young man. This annoyed the sect elders, not because they couldn't handle the Red Sakura organization, but because of the powerful force behind that group, which made them hesitate to intervene.
After all, the president of the Red Sakura organization, Hong Jie, as the support two Supreme Elders. With the support of a Titled Douluo, they didn't dare to meddle, especially since it was an internal matter among sect disciples that didn't affect the normal order of the sect.
There was also another person, the identity of Zeng Yi within the sect was still mysterious because Ning Fengzhi hadn't announced that Zeng Yi was a disciple of the Sword Douluo. Plus, Zeng Yi's face was unfamiliar to the high-ranking members of the sect, so they intended to communicate with Zeng Yi and settle the matter quietly, without further disturbance. However, before they could take action, an order was given from above prohibiting them from intervening in this matter.
Damn it, another powerful second-generation heir.
Red Sakura Tower, conference room.
Slap!
Nangong Lin angrily stood up from her seat, slapped the table with all her might.
"Provocation! Naked provocation. He's treating us like toys to play with. When has the Red Sakura organization been humiliated like this?"
"Exactly! I've never seen such a despicable man before."
"He comes to mock us every day. If you are so capable, then don't run away! Despicable to the extreme!"
"Hong sister, I don't understand what you see in such a despicable man besides his handsome looks. I've never seen a more wicked man."
"Indeed, this coward doesn't deserve to be our Brother-in-law!"
When it came to Zeng Yi, the girls in the conference room clenched their teeth in anger.
"Hehe."
Yan Que, sitting in a corner of the conference room, looked a bit embarrassed as she watched her sisters scolding her Master. She couldn't help but feel helpless. She had never wanted things to go this way. She initially wanted her master to hide on the mountain for a while, but she hadn't expected him to be so mischievous, causing chaos in the entire Red Sakura organization. What's more, they couldn't do anything to their master, he was untouchable.
Yan Que sat in the conference room, feeling extremely awkward. If her sisters found out that the person they loathed and wanted to skin alive was her master, would they directly turn against her and beat her up?
Thinking of this scene, Yan Que couldn't help but shiver and shook her head, quickly calming herself down and sitting upright in her seat.
She mustn't let them find out anything.
"But why did we have to capture him from the beginning instead of talking with him directly?" Yan Que timidly raised her hand and voiced her opinion. In an instant, everyone turned their heads, their gaze focused on her.
"I—I..." Being stared at so intensely, Yan Que became nervous and started stuttering, her voice trembling.
Hong Jie couldn't help but interrupt "Right! I just wanted everyone to help me find his information. Why did you have to fight each other?"
"We don't even need to capture him, right?"
Everyone: "Uh..."
This, how should we put it?
At first, they were shocked to learn that the president had fallen in love, especially considering that she was the strongest disciple in the sect and had established the Red Sakura organization, empowering the girls in the sect and even suppressing those stinky men. They never expected that someone could captivate her. Moreover, that person had rejected the president's confession?
As feminists and highly respected followers of the president, they were furious when they learned about this. It was a complete disregard for their president's charm! Even if the president was joking, he should have gone along with it. Rejecting her and waiting until she got tired and left him; this should have been the correct course of action.
Do you know how many people want to be a lapdog even if they are not qualified?
What's more, it happened publicly, embarrassing the president in front of other disciples within the sect. They simply didn't take the Red Sakura organization seriously.
Therefore, they decided to capture that person, teach him a lesson, and present him to their president.
However, they didn't expect him to be so slippery, like a slippery fish slipping through their fingers, instead making themselves dirty.
But now that they thought about it, it seemed like they had started all this mess, didn't they?
For a while, everyone pretended to be dead, looking away and remaining silent.
Nangong Lin couldn't help but push aside Hong Jie's wandering hands on her body and said with annoyance "This game has gone on long enough! That guy who only knows how to run away doesn't deserve me wasting my time. If you still want to continue, then go ahead, I won't accompany you."
"Eh? Lin, if you're not helping me, does that mean you don't love me anymore?"
"Uh~" Seeing Hong Jie's pitiful and tearful gaze fixed on her, Nangong Lin felt helpless. She said "You should give up on your ridiculous idea as well. That guy is treating us like monkeys. If he really had any intention, he should have explained it face to face and not like this."
After hearing this, Hong Jie fell silent.
Sitting on the right side of Hong Jie, Ye Zi pushed her glasses up her nose and said "Regardless, we can't continue like this. This matter has caused a lot of trouble for the sect. So much manpower was involved in this minor issue, and in the end, we were left embarrassed. The reputation of the Red Sakura organization has suffered in the minds of the disciples."
"Moreover, the members of the Righteous Sun Council are apparently nominating this Zeng Yi as an honorary president. The clowns who were usually suppressed by us are now causing trouble. It's despicable!"
"That's right, Hong sister, we should stop this game. Isn't it difficult to admit that we've lost?"
"Indeed, we have lost. We couldn't find any information about him other than his name. It seems he has a strong background in the sect. We should give up."
Watching the members lower their heads and admit defeat, Hong Jie helplessly turned her gaze to her good sister, Ye Zi.
"Ye Zi, you must have a solution to help me, right?"
Seeing her like this, Ye Zi sighed helplessly and said "Since it has come to this, we can only resort to the final strike."
Hearing this, Hong Jie's eyes brightened, and she excitedly hugged Ye Zi, saying "I knew you would have a solution. Tell me, what should I do?"
Ye Zi pushed aside Hong Jie's wandering hands on her body, adjusted the glasses on her tall bridge, and a mysterious smile curved on her lips. The round lenses glimmered with light.
"Since we are all Spirit Masters, let's solve it in the way of Spirit Masters!"
