Chapter 776 - Too Emotional (1/2)

He stared at the person in front of him and wondered just how this had happened. Hadn't he just thought that he had managed to deal with the situation? How come the other person still had the upper hand?

Well, this wasn't too troublesome to deal with yet. They were guests, after all. He might be able to challenge them to fight but as long as they said no, there was nothing he could do. Everything else would be a risk to the Yun Zou Sect's reputation. Thus Elder Gongxi gave a smile. ”Well, normally, with be happy to oblige but …”

Qiu Ling's eyes narrowed. ”But you don't have the right disciples with you? Ah, I should've known. Other than your own disciple, they probably can't measure up to that person from the Gathering of Practitioners. They probably wouldn't dare to accept the challenge of one of our disciples.

”But they really don't need to be afraid. After all, it's just me they'd be fighting against. I mean how many disciples have you with you again? Five? Six? I mean six people against one … If they're still scared of that, then maybe being a practitioner isn't the right way for them.” He glanced at the disciples that were crowding behind Elder Gongxi and gave them a pitying look.

Elder Gongxi's face drained of color. Oh no! He wanted to speak up but the disciples couldn't take it. One of them pointed at Qiu Ling's nose while his own face turned red. ”What are you even saying?! Whether it's six of us against you or six of you against one of us, we wouldn't care either way! We're just afraid that you'd run to complain to your Master after you lost, making trouble for our Yang Huo Sect.”

The other disciples nodded eagerly. ”Yes! What's so good about that Zhou Wu? We're not able to compare to him? What nonsense! He's just some trash that can't cultivate any longer. There's no reason to even bring him up.”

Qiu Ling gave a wry smile. ”So as long as my Master won't interfere, you don't mind having that fight after all? Well, that's alright with me. If you want me to, I'll even sign some statement or something.” He turned to Elder Gongxi, smiling brightly. ”Did you hear that, Elder? You really don't have to be afraid. It seems your disciples are really stroked to have that fight with me. You should really allow them.

”So how about you draft that agreement and we'll just all sign? We can have that fight right tomorrow morning. I mean there's no need to wait any longer, is there? Your disciples won't be able to train much until then anyway. Regardless of whether we do it tomorrow morning or evening. There's no need to keep waiting.”

”Yes, let's do it in the morning! I really can't wait to have that fight with you!” The disciples glared at Qiu Ling, not noticing at all that they had been talked into doing something the Elder wanted to prevent at all costs.

Unfortunately for Elder Gongxi, there was nothing he could do. He gave a deep sigh and nodded. Well, it was his own problem that their Yang Huo Sect's disciples weren't smart enough. When they got back, he had to make sure that other than training their sword arts, they would also train the ability to control their emotions and think things through before talking! This really was such a disgrace.

”Well, then I'd better go and write that statement now. We wouldn't want anybody to have any complaints tomorrow, would we? We'll have to make sure that it really is just a friendly spar between disciples of two acquainted sects.”
