80 Chapter 78: Fight with me (1/2)
”Of course not. Why would I dare to call you a liar? It's just that it's too unbelievable. When he was first brought here, I personally checked his talent using our artifact. It was a level zero,” Elder Jin replied.
”Hah, It's clear that you made a mistake then. Apologize to him,” Elder Wu said.
”But...”
”No but! As I said, he's innocent, isn't he? Apologize to him for your misunderstanding!” Elder Wu insisted.
”How can I, an Elder of the outer sect apologize to a disciple!” Elder Jin let out.
It was about his self-respect and he wasn't willing to apologize to a kid. There were so many disciples watching him which made him even more reluctant.
”It doesn't matter if you're an Elder or not! You almost destroyed that kid. Today, either you will apologize, or you will apologize. That's final!” Elder Wu said.
Elder Jin could feel Elder Wu's grip tightening on his wrist and he was starting to feel the pain.
Elder Wu was trying to intimidate him and he realized it. Even after all that, he didn't dare to attack since he knew that he wasn't a match of Elder Wu.
He glared at Xu Ming with hate in his heart.
”I...” He opened his mouth to say something, but Xu Ming spoke before.
”Elder Wu, there's no need for an apology. I realize that it was an honest misunderstanding,” Xu Ming said.
Although he would have been pleased to see Elder Jin apologize to him, he realized that that might lead to some problems directly or indirectly.
”Since you say so,” Elder Wu said as he smiled.
He freed the hands of Elder Jin and turned to him.
”Elder Jin, please be careful in the future. You're an Elder. You can't be too biased. The kids are the future of the sect. Especially the special ones like Xu Ming,” Elder Wu said.
”I'll keep that in mind,” Elder Jin let out in a heavy tone as he turned back and left.
He didn't forget to take the ones that complained to him, with him.
The boys that wanted him to punish Xu Ming and Wu Tian were quite scared since they knew that they were in deep trouble now. If it wasn't for them, Elder Jin wouldn't have been disrespected like that.
After Elder Jin left, Elder Wu shifted his focus back to Xu Ming.
”Did Wu Tian show you everything?” He asked.
”Yes Elder. Also, I would like to thank you for the help that you provided,” Xu Ming thanked Elder Wu as he bowed down slightly.
”It was nothing. Anyways, you must have selected the skills by now, right?” Elder Wu asked as he placed his hands on Xu Ming's shoulders.
”Yes Elder,” Xu Ming nodded his head.
”Nice. Which skills did you get?” Elder Wu inquired.
”3 Strikes of Heaven and Origin Movement,” Xu Ming answered.
”Hmm? Origin Movement? Quite a nice choice. I think only you can do justice to that skill,” Elder Wu chuckled as he said.
