Chapter 103: Chapter 103, Confrontation with Duo Bao

Outside, Shi Ji, Yun Xiao, and Zhao Gongming quietly appeared, hiding in a corner and watching with smiles as the two harmonious senior brothers talked.

Zhao Gongming transmitted, "It seems that the relationship between the two senior brothers is very good!"

Shi Ji transmitted, "You don’t understand, this is called ’courtesy before force’. Once Senior Brother Duobao lets down his guard, Senior Brother Bai Jin will make his move."

Yun Xiao transmitted, "I can feel a chill."

Shi Ji nodded seriously, It’s really cold!

"Junior brother, what brings you here?"

Bai Jin’s smile faded as he spoke, "I heard that senior brother has been preaching and teaching the Tao in Tao Palace, I came to see for myself."

"If junior brother is interested, you may sit down and listen."

Bai Jin shook his head, "Just listening would be fine, but I am here for these new junior brothers and sisters who have just joined, please allow me to take them away."

Duobao shook his head, "No!"

"Why not?"

"I am teaching them the Tao, junior brother should wait until Master returns!"

Bai Jin looked around, sighed, and said, "Ah, Senior Brother, I shouldn’t interfere in your matters, but isn’t it inappropriate to teach our Jie Sect’s True Scripture to outsiders?"

Duobao said indifferently, "Junior brother, they are not outsiders, they are also Jie Sect Disciples."

"If they are Jie Sect Disciples, show me their identity cards for inspection."

Duobao was slightly startled, Identity cards? They indeed don’t have any, he explained, "Junior brother wasn’t here when Master took in disciples, so they haven’t been issued identity cards."

Bai Jin shook his head, speaking sternly, "Then they are not our Jie Sect Disciples."

Duobao’s smile faded as he said lightly, "Taking them into the Jie Sect was Master’s decision."

Bai Jin shook his head, "Master did not inform me, and I am face-blind, I only recognize certificates, not faces; without identity cards, they are not considered Jie Sect Disciples.

Senior brother, what should be the punishment for preaching our Jie Sect’s True Scripture to outsiders?"

Duobao raised his voice, "Bai Jin, you are being unreasonable!"

"Senior brother, you are betraying our sect."

All the new disciples glanced at Daoist Lord Duobao, then at Bai Jin, and all thought to themselves, what exactly is this so-called identity card? It seems very important.

"Bai Jin, this is my Tao Courtyard, how dare you run wild?"

"Senior brother, this is a Jie Sect Tao Courtyard, you dare betray our sect, I dare to interfere!"

"You dare say I betray our sect?"

"You are preaching to outsiders!"

"They are disciples taken in by Master!"

"They don’t have identity cards!"

"It’s because you didn’t issue them!"

Bai Jin gestured grandly, shouting, "Everyone follow me, to get your identity cards." He stormed out angrily.

More than five thousand disciples hesitated for a moment, then all stood up and walked outside, it seemed the identity card was indeed a proof of being a Jie Sect Disciple and could not be neglected.

The doors of the Duobao Tower slammed shut, and the hall was instantly silent.

On the main seat, Duobao smiled and said, "Bai Jin, such tricks won’t work on me."

Bai Jin turned and looked at Duobao on the main seat, feeling puzzled, Senior Brother has actually become smart.

Bai Jin with a full-faced smile said, "Haha~ I was just joking, don’t take it to heart, Senior Brother!"

More than five thousand disciples also turned their heads to look at Duobao, then swiftly split to both sides with grinning faces, showing an eager look to watch the show, realizing they were still very important indeed! Both senior brothers were vying for us.

"The joke is over, junior brother, you may leave now."

Bai Jin complained, "Senior Brother! Let’s talk reason here. These were originally Outer Disciples under my jurisdiction, but your current actions make it difficult for me! How will I establish authority among them in the future?"

Duobao said indifferently, "These are Master’s orders. Before Master returns, they are to be taught and guided by me."

"Doesn’t that mean I hadn’t returned? Now that I’m back, Senior Brother, please hand them over to me! Let’s not trouble Master anymore."

"No!"

"Really not giving them?"

"Really not!"

"If you don’t hand them over, I will have to strictly discipline the Outer Disciples and take on the responsibilities of the Outer Disciple Leader."

"If you must discipline strictly, then we can discuss."

Bai Jin laughed and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother. Please hand them over to me!"

Duobao looked at Bai Jin and smiled helplessly, "Junior Brother, are you forcing my hand?"

Bai Jin sighed, "In the past, I ignored many matters concerning the Outer Disciples because I didn’t want to manage them. But from this incident, it seems Master is greatly displeased with my laxness. Even Senior Brother has been troubled with the affairs of the Outer Door, which fills me with trepidation!"

Duobao’s expression changed several times. Ever since staying on Kunlun Mountain, Long-Eared Ding Guang, Qiu Shouxian, Ling Ya, and other junior brothers joined him, with hundreds of Jie Sect Disciples revolving around him, respecting him as their honorable, his own path of Tao has frequently been stirred, and he is now half a step into the Daluo Realm.

All this was due to Bai Jin rarely interfering with the Outer Disciples. If Bai Jin were to strictly control the Outer Disciples, his own path of Tao might be severed instantly.

Suddenly, Duobao burst into laughter and said, "I was just joking with Junior Brother. You’re taking it too seriously. Master is indeed concerned about you, Junior Brother. It’s just that in your absence, he temporarily entrusted me with these new disciples.

Well! Now that Junior Brother has returned, I’ll leave the Outer Disciples to you, so that I too can peacefully pursue Enlightenment."

"Isn’t that inappropriate? Master entrusted you to teach and instruct."

"The teachings are already completed!"

"Master said, until he returns."

"I remembered wrong; Master never said that."

"He never said?"

"He really never said, Junior Brother. You quickly lead them to process their identity cards!"

Bai Jin bowed with a smile, "Then, thank you very much, Senior Brother!"

Duobao, seated at the head of the table, bowed in return.

Bai Jin turned and walked outside. Over five thousand disciples silently followed him, each with their own thoughts flickering in their eyes.

The gate of the Duobao Tower thunderously opened, and Bai Jin led over five thousand newly initiated disciples out in file.

Outside, Zhao Gongming muttered, "Has Senior Brother really taken them away?"

Shi Ji said proudly, "I told you, Brother Bai Jin is very capable."

Zhao Gongming wondered, "But why did Senior Brother Duobao suddenly give in?"

Yun Xiao speculated thoughtfully, "It must be some kind of compromise between them!"

...

Late at night, an angry shout resonated in the sky: "Selfish and self-serving, only thinking of oneself, disunited, unbecoming of Jie. You all do not qualify as Jie Sect Disciples, get out!"

"We won’t accept this!"

"Bai Jin, you are too bullying!"

"We were taken in by the Saint; on what grounds do you expel us?"

...

Angry shouts erupted.

Four Immortal Swords radiated dazzling light, enveloping the sky.
