Chapter 224: Treasury Hall (1/2)

”W-What's going on?! Why did the sect elder suddenly attack that Outer Court disciple?!”

The Inner Court disciples there were greatly shocked by this sudden incident, as they have never seen such a forceful and aggressive reaction in the Treasury Hall before.

”Whatever that disciple did, he's done for. Nobody offends a sect elder from the Treasury Hall and gets away with it!”

”It's been a long time since someone has caused trouble in the Treasury Hall! I cannot wait to see how that Outer Court disciple gets punished!”

Meanwhile, Yuan turned to look at the sect elder with a frown on his face, ”That was dangerous! How could you suddenly attack a disciple without any reason as a sect elder?!”

”Without a reason?! I have plenty of reasons to discipline you! You not only stole the Silver Fortune Medallion but you also dared to talk back to a sect elder!”

”You assumed that I'd stolen it without any evidence, and then you attacked me when I asked for you to return it to me! That's unreasonable!”

”Shut your damn mouth, you freaking liar! How could a disciple like you exist in the righteous Dragon Essence Temple?! You don't belong here! Not only will I discipline you, but I will also make sure you are no longer a disciple after today!”

”I can say the same thing to you! You want to discipline me? Go ahead and try!” Yuan stood his ground, not willing to be bullied by the sect elder.

'Not only the disciples but even the sect elders are unreasonable! This really makes me question some things!' Yuan sighed inwardly.

Hearing Yuan's provoking words, the sect elder jumped over the desk and approached Yuan while surrounded by an aggressive aura.

”If I don't punish you today, I do not deserve to be a sect elder!” The sect elder spoke as he approached Yuan.

”Haaa… What the heck is going on here, Elder Gu? I stepped away for a few minutes and trusted you with the Treasury Hall, and this is how you repay me? By creating a commotion with an Outer Court disciple inside the Treasury Hall?” A sighing voice suddenly resounded, causing everybody there to look at the entrance, where a tall middle-aged man stood.

”Elder Bei!” Elder Gu looked at Elder Bei with a perplexed look on his face.

”You've misunderstood the situation, Elder Bei. I am merely disciplining this disciple who not only dared to steal a precious item from the sect but also dared to lie in front of a sect elder!”

Elder Bei raised his eyebrows, and he turned to look at Yuan, who was standing there still with an unpleasant look on his face.

”What did he steal?” Elder Bei asked as he approached them.

”This— the Silver Fortune Medallion!” Elder Gu quickly showed him the silver medallion in his hands.

”T-That's…” Elder Bei's eyes widened with shock when he saw the Silver Fortune Medallion.

He then turned to look at Yuan in a stiff motion before asking him, ”Y-Young disciple… Can you tell me your name?”

”Disciple Yuan,” he responded.

'Disciple Yuan! Shit! He's the disciple Grand Elder Xuan warned me about! This fucking idiot Elder Gu actually offended the one person we're not supposed to offend when I went to get some food!'

Elder Bei immediately began sweating after realizing the situation.
