Chapter 523: Chapter 142 Hu Dayang【Two in One】_2 Chapter 523: Chapter 142 Hu Dayang【Two in One】_2 It’s as though once you pass, you will be able to capture Wenrou effortlessly and reap a huge profit.

What’s happening now?

Why are you all rushing to beg me?

Old acquaintances, what a load of bullshit old acquaintances!

Shi Jiutu paused before saying,”Alas, all of you come from reputable sects and should understand that actions conform to orders. The situation has drastically changed since Chu Chu led the campaign to eradicate the assassin, Wenrou. The Emperor has issued a decree to let the Seventh Prince gain experience and understand the hardships of the people. The royal decree is as such, what can we do about it?”

“Even as a master, although I seem to hold great power, I’m actually a mere puppet, watched by countless people, waiting for me to make a mistake.”

“Look at the many veterans of the jianghu, are they not patiently waiting then, without any hint of impatience? This is because of the Emperor’s strict command; no one dares to defy it!”

Shi Jiutu wore a helpless look of sorrow: “Since you all claim to be old acquaintances, I will take your word for it. Please don’t make a ruckus. It will only make things worse and harder for me if you do.”

The crowd’s impatience grew: “But waiting in this queue, how long will we have to wait? It’s such a waste of our time.”

Shi Jiutu tried to comfort them: “Patience brings peace. A brief period of meditation and adjustment should make the waiting tolerable, right? Just bear with it.”

“This is so damn ridiculous!”

Several old guys didn’t maintain their dignity, instead, they found themselves being outsmarted. All of them showed their dissatisfaction. When they returned to their places, arguments broke out.

Because they had left the queue, their original spots had been taken by others.

“Who are you to cut in line?”

“…This is my place! I only left for a moment!”

“Your place? Hehe, that’s easy to say, this is also my spot, I only left for three years.”

“This really is my place!”

“Does the floor agree with you?”

“Are you unreasonable?”

“Reasonable? If you’re reasonable, why did you cut in line!”

“Are you asking for death?”

“Old fart, were you scared shitless by your dad?”

“…”

Neither side was willing to back down, and as their quarrel grew increasingly heated, the entire queue began to unsettle.

“Quit your yapping! It’s so damn annoying!”

“Not only cutting in line, but also starting fights? Don’t you have any shame at your age?”

“If you cut in line, move to the back!”

“I was already near the end of the line. If people continue to cut in, I’m going to have to wait until tomorrow!”

“No cutting in line, nobody, nobody at all. Whoever dares to cut will be knocked down!”

Almost everyone was making a racket.

Many people in the queue had their hands on their sword hilts, their eyes gleaming with a murderous intent as they scanned back and forth, looking for a chance to reclaim their spot.

Everyone was fed up. An opportunity had finally arisen for them to move forward a bit when those old guys left. At this time, reducing the waiting time by even a bit was good.

Who would allow them to return to their original positions?

The old men were dumbfounded.

Being as worldly-wise as they were, they knew they had provoked public anger with their actions.

If they forced their way back into line, the entire queue wouldn’t spare them. Among the people queued, there were many from the big sects. Even in terms of background influence, they couldn’t win. If things went wrong, their death would be in vain.

“Master Teacher, you know the situation we had before, please speak up and help,” said one of the older men pleadingly.

At this time, if Shi Jiutu was willing to mediate, it would be the best and most appropriate solution.

But when they turned their heads, they were dumbfounded: Shi Jiutu had disappeared.

At that moment, a guard from Chu Country was calling, “Next!”

From the crowd, countless voices simultaneously roared, “Those who cut in line, get out and line up at the back!”

The faces of the older men turned dark purple in rage. They huffed in indignation, flicked their sleeves, and went to line up at the back of the queue.

As luck would have it, they lined up right behind Feng Yin.

Not far away, several people running in this direction suddenly became enraged, “Old man! You’re cutting in line! That spot is ours!”

The old men simply ignored them and made a silent vow if anyone else dared to cause trouble, they would draw their swords and kill them then and there – they would vent their suppressed anger on them!

Seeing their wrathful demeanor, the few people approaching had an ominous premonition and instantly quietened down, falling in line obediently behind them.

Feng Yin was having a déja vu of once lining up for a taxi at the airport in an alternative world. The feeling was familiar yet strange in this unfamiliar environment, intriguing him.

However, this current queue was even slower than any he had ever remembered.

For a full two hours, Feng Yin had only moved forward seven steps!

The Chu Country side carefully scrutinized each person one by one, tighter than sieving sand, their motives clear. They sorted out lone cultivators, made up various reasons to arrest them, and then solicited them to defect. Besides that, they were screening for escaped convicts and traitors, detaining anyone with the slightest suspicion for later review and interrogation.

In light of this, the young prince’s inspection was extremely diligent, even harsh!

But now, Shi Jiutu, the nation’s teacher, made his position clear, deliberately indulging the situation as a means of venting his anger on them!

These spoiled young masters also have their uses, especially those from the royal family.

Even if someone wanted to teach them a lesson, they wouldn’t dare to act rashly.

Judging by the current results, it was a pleasing sight – over twenty disguised fugitives had already been captured from the queuing crowd, and for the Great Chu Overlord Hall, thousands of individual jianghu wanderers were arrested as potential participants to be solicited later.
