Therefore, Jian Chen no longer dared to belittle or simply be arrogant and hurriedly paid his respects. “Respected elder, disciple Jian Chen requests permission to enter the hall to study something.”
The polite attitude that Jian Chen showed suddenly made the surrounding disciples immediately stop and look at him, of course the young man from before also did the same thing.
Aimilarly to Jian Chen, Jun Ji also recognized him, and upon seeing Jian Chen's politeness, he immediately gave a sneer. Not just the young man, all the disciples who knew Jian Chen all also cast cynical and sneering looks.
"Hey, Jian Chen, aren't you too arrogant? Who are you? Remember, even Brother Jun wasn't let in, let alone you? Trash with initial level qi training? Are you stupid?"
One of the youths from Brother Jun's group mocked Jian Chen and was quickly followed by the others.
"Jian Chen? I remember, wasn't he trash at the beginning of qi training?"
"Well, he's a trash, but he's not just trash, he's also crazy! Rumor has it that he tried to commit suicide many times, but somehow he's still alive now."
"Maybe he has good luck, but... Hey-- he's really crazy! With just such cultivation, he wants to enter the Secret Hall? Even Brother Jun can't. What is this if not crazy?"
"Trash, crazy and arrogant, I think he will be unlucky soon."
"I hope an ignorant trash like him will only die a very miserable death."
"It's better to die, because trash like him is really not worthy of being in the Yanjiang Sect."
"Hahaha…. right! He's dead wood that deserves to be thrown away!"
…
"Come in. You have 15 minutes." The voice that came out of the Secret Hall guard's mouth immediately silenced everyone.
With the old man's permission, Jian Chen nodded respectfully, and without paying attention to the commotion around him just walked in.
"Hey...."
"This... he, how could he just come in like that?"
Jian Chen's entry made all the disciples who knew Jian Chen not believe it.
Especially for Jun Ji himself, who looked extremely shocked and angry. Ignoring his seniority or age, he immediately pointed his finger towards the old man in the chair and shouted, “Hey, stupid old man! How did you let that trash in, and I didn't?"
Despite being verbally abused by a student, the old man never seemed to care, and only calmly answered without looking, "Because he deserves to come in."
That answer made Jun Ji even angrier, and he shouted even louder, "Damn it, you sick old dog! If trash with the first level of qi training cultivation can enter, why can't I who is barely at the second level of Qi training!?"
Either because he was lazy or because he couldn't hear, the old man just kept quiet and slowly closed his eyes.
Seeing that the man was ignoring him, Jun Ji got even angrier and started threatening him. "Damn it, old dog. How dare you ignore Jun Ji, a subordinate of Wang Lee. Do you know that if anyone dares to go against Wang Lee's group, their fate will never get better!?"
Right when the disciples heard what Jun Ji said, they all immediately fell silent and looked at each other with the same thought.
This old man will definitely have bad luck.
Not only the trial disciples, even the outer disciples knew the weight of the name “Wang” and knew that if anyone angered their group, his fate would definitely never be better than death.
Of course, when Jun Ji said that and saw many students looking at him in different ways, he felt very proud of himself. Only, as he watched the old man beside the hall door still sleeping and ignoring him, he could no longer hold it in.
With a “buzz” from the second burst of qi training aura exploding from his body, Jun Ji glanced coldly at the man, and coldly said, “Old dog, you better remember, that the previous Secret Hall guard who suddenly disappeared was because he dared to fight back. Wang group. For your sake, you'd better roll away and let me in, otherwise..."
When the old man heard what Jun Ji had said this far, he finally opened his eyes and indifferently glanced at Jun Ji.
Getting an indifferent glance, as if nothing was worth anything in front of the man's eyes, Jun Ji thought that it was a challenge, which immediately made him even angrier, and finally ignored age, status and whatever else there was.
"You forced me!" Jun Ji rushed forward with his fists.
"Old dog! Die!"
The old man in the chair did not move or try to dodge at all, as if he had already accepted his fate.
In everyone's view, Jun Ji, who had a healthy body and strong muscles in his youth, looked serious and never had the slightest compassion. with rapid footsteps, as well as fists that had the strength of second level qi training about to fall on the sickly old man's face, all the disciples present felt worried about his fate.
However, when it reached one meter from the destination, Jun Ji's fist and body suddenly stopped in place.
"You..."
Before Jun Ji finished his words, everyone vaguely saw that the man suddenly raised his stick slowly and without force towards Jun Ji's stomach. The black wooden stick only touched him a little, but who knows where the force came from, the sound of wind whistling suddenly sounded clearly in the crowd.
"Bang"
Then Jun Ji's body, which looked strong and burly, seemed to have been hit by something and flew back several meters before falling to the ground with a loud sound.
"Aaaarghh..."
Next came the sound of screams, groans full of pain and a burst of fresh blood that suddenly spurted from his mouth.
"This..."
Everyone was immediately shocked by the cold breath that suddenly sounded among the crowd.
“Young man, you are too reckless towards a sickly old man.” The old man finally said.
"It's true that the main requirement to enter the Secret Hall is to be at least at the third level of qi training, and since you're not there yet, it's useless for you to enter," the old man suddenly laughed, and looked at the disciples around him.
"But... let me tell you something. The young man you previously thought of as a useless trash is actually already at the second level of Qi training, and has even awakened his spirit rootso he is very qualified to enter. Are you guys--- uuhhh.... My back...." The old man suddenly groaned in pain and clutched his back.
But, a moment later he laughed again and spoke to himself, "Haha... it seems like the pain I've been suffering from all this time has gotten worse and almost caused me to die."
"That's right... I'm old and my abilities are declining. I hope you all don't bully sickly men any morehaaiishh, it's making my back start to hurt."
The words that seemed to be a joke from the old man made everyone present there only swallow hard in silence, and didn't know how to respond.
A sick old man?
After knowing everything, who else would dare to think and refute the words of this pale, backache-looking old man?
So far, all the disciples only knew that this old man called Old Ming was an ordinary old sick man who was assigned by the Sect to guard the entrance to the Secret Hall.
Until today, none of the students knew that this old man was actually a very scary old man, and could even kill anyone easily.
Not everyone, maybe there is one person who knows it, that is Jian Chen. Didn't he say hello before entering and was very polite?
From the start, did that Jian Chen know the strength of this old man?
As for Jun Ji himself, he was probably stupid, or just bad luck for arrogantly daring to fight this old man who was pretending to be a pig. Luckily he was still alive and able to get back on his feet.
It's just that, after standing up, he still didn't show his respect for old Ming but rather anger and hatred. But he realized that right now he couldn't do anything to this crazy old man.
"That's right, Jian Chen...." Jun Ji suddenly smiled and grinned as he remembered everything was because of Jian Chen.
“I remember, hasn’t that trash Jian Chen been living with an ugly girl who is also a trash?”
