Chapter 1293: Chapter 1291: Insulting My Disciple Means Courting Death

Guided by the maid, Lin Bai dragged Gujian Yun to the Gu Family’s reception hall!

Before stepping into the reception hall, Lin Bai saw from afar Gu Qingyun sitting on the high seat, his face iron green, his eyes swirling with malevolent intent.

And below, in the reception hall, an old man and a child both wore jesting smiles on their faces.

The old man, with a Daoist Bone, crane hair and a youthful face, carried a longsword on his back, resembling an esteemed hermit of the Sword Art.

The younger Warrior seemed to be in his early twenties, at the Third Level of the Flying Sky Realm, with a hint of a frivolous smile at the corner of his mouth; he still looked like a handsome man.

Lin Bai dragged Gujian Yun straight into the reception hall without having the servants announce their arrival.

When Gu Qingyun saw Lin Bai pulling in Gujian Yun, he quickly stood up and said, "Mr. Dongfang, what brings you here?"

Lin Bai looked at Gu Qingyun, clasped his fists, and said, "Patriarch Gu, I am here for one thing only, and I would like to know who it was who said earlier that Miss Jianyun’s Martial Soul was weak, her talent insufficient, and her foundation poor?"

Lin Bai swept his piercing gaze towards the old and young pair.

Gu Qingyun laughed and said, "Haha, Mr. Dongfang, it’s all just jokes, don’t take them to heart. If Mr. Dongfang has nothing else, perhaps you can start teaching Jianyun to cultivate now."

No sooner had Gu Qingyun finished speaking than the old man stood up, laughing, "Hehe, so this must be Dongfang Bai. I heard yesterday that Patriarch Gu Qingyun had chosen a powerful Sword Cultivator as a teacher for Gujian Yun."

"I presume it’s you then?"

The old man stood up and addressed Lin Bai with a laugh, but his eyes were filled with disdain, especially after he saw that Lin Bai’s cultivation was merely at the First Level of the Flying Sky Realm, and a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

Lin Bai looked at the old man.

Gu Qingyun quickly introduced, "Mr. Dongfang, this Senior is Zhao Chou, a Sword Technique master of the Royal Family of the Feiyun Dynasty, with Sword Skill that reaches the Heaven-reaching level, having almost grasped the Realm of Comprehension. He’s quite extraordinary."

Upon hearing Gu Qingyun’s introduction, Lin Bai slightly smiled, "Patriarch Gu, I am here not to meet some insignificant people. Can anyone answer my question?"

"Who said that Gujian Yun’s Martial Soul was weak, her talent insufficient?"

Lin Bai’s voice turned cold as he spoke again.

Upon hearing Lin Bai’s words, Gu Qingyun’s face showed a trace of embarrassment. He could see that Lin Bai came with hostile intentions.

"It was me who said it," the young man on the chair declared, standing up with a foppish smile.

Lin Bai turned to this person, and without a doubt, this must be Du Yue, the so-called number one talent of Huanglong City.

Lin Bai’s gaze steadily darkened as he looked at Du Yue.

Du Yue stood up, chuckling, "I thought Patriarch Gu had chosen a powerful Sword Cultivator for Gujian Yun. Turns out it’s just an ant at the First Level of the Flying Sky Realm!"

"Patriarch Gu, you really aren’t picky!"

Du Yue looked at Lin Bai, his eyes full of contempt.

Lin Bai asked coldly, "Are those your words?"

Du Yue laughed lightly, "Yes, that’s right. Gujian Yun indeed has a weak Martial Soul, insufficient talent, and poor foundation. That she could have her current level of Sword Art cultivation is already an immense fortune!"

"In this respect, I am not mistaken, am I, Dongfang Bai?"

"I recall that you also spoke these words a few days ago, at the Gu Family’s Martial Arts Arena, didn’t you?"

Du Yue said with a sneer.

Indeed, that day in the Martial Arts Arena, Lin Bai had made such remarks, wounding Gujian Yun’s pride and many Warriors had heard it, hence it spread.

Lin Bai looked at Du Yue with a cold smile and said, "I can say those words, but you can’t!"

Du Yue sneered, "On what grounds?"

Lin Bai responded, "I am her Master. How I guide her is my affair. Whether I scold her or strike her, it’s all part of her teaching."

"But what are you to dare speak about my disciple in such a way?"

Lin Bai’s gaze grew increasingly malevolent as he spoke.

Miss Jianyun stared at Lin Bai, dumbfounded—so Lin Bai had brought her to the parlor with the intention of standing up for her.

At this moment, inside Miss Jianyun’s heart, her resistance toward Lin Bai gradually lessened a bit.

Upon hearing this, Du Yue continued to sneer coldly, "The mouth is mine, does Mr. Dongfang actually presume to govern my speech?"

This statement carried quite a provocative meaning.

Lin Bai declared, "I give you three breaths, apologize immediately, and I will let bygones be bygones, but if you do not apologize after three breaths, I will take it upon myself to manage your mouth!"

Lin Bai’s voice turned increasingly icy, and a chill seemed to permeate the air of the parlor!

Du Yue was utterly infuriated, "What are you, exactly? And you deem yourself fit to govern me based on your cultivation level?"

"The words are mine, Du Yue’s, but an apology—that is impossible!"

Du Yue stated resolutely.

Lin Bai let out a cold laugh, "Since you’ve said as much, then I need not grant you three breaths’ time!"

As his words fell—

Lin Bai’s figure flashed, transforming into a Waning Shadow, rushing straight at Du Yue!

Du Yue uttered coldly, "What, looking for a fight? You, a Warrior at the First Level of the Flying Sky Realm, dare to contend with me?"

Du Yue snorted disdainfully, his longsword immediately unsheathed behind him!

A slash of cold light pierced the Nine Heavens!

Gu Qingyun and Miss Jianyun both showed shocked faces.

These two were ready to clash at the slightest disagreement!

But in that instant of lightning and flint, a Waning Shadow closed in on Du Yue, a single hand snatched the top-grade Spiritual Instrument right from Du Yue’s grasp, followed by a crisp "smack" echoing through the parlor!

The sound of a resounding slap spread!

Du Yue was sent flying on the spot, mouth full of blood, heavily crashing to the ground!

A mouthful of pearly teeth followed the blood, spraying outward!

"Such rapid movement technique..." Gu Qingyun exclaimed in surprise.

Du Yue—at the Third Level of the Flying Sky Realm—was utterly powerless before Lin Bai!

"Du Yue!" At this moment, Zhao Chou cried out in alarm, standing up to see Du Yue covered in injuries, and immediately his gaze sharpened noxiously toward Lin Bai, "Boy, do you presume I don’t exist?"

Lin Bai, with a mocking smile, looked at Zhao Chou and said coldly, "The same principle applies, I can scold my disciple however I like!"

"But who are you to scold her? Are you... seeking death?"

Lin Bai stared down Zhao Chou, their confrontation as sharp as a needle facing down a blade of wheat—neither willing to give an inch!

Du Yue spat out a mouthful of white teeth and blood, glaring at Lin Bai with an unprecedented fury, and later cried out, "Master, help me kill him, kill him!"

Zhao Chou looked coldly at Lin Bai and said in a frosty voice, "Incredibly audacious junior, it seems today I must make you see some sense!"

As he spoke, Zhao’s longsword thundered out of its sheath, striking like lightning towards Lin Bai!

"Master, be careful, Zhao Chou is a Warrior at the Fifth Level of the Flying Sky Realm!"

Miss Jianyun, noticing Zhao Chou’s sharp sword light, suddenly yelled out to Lin Bai.

"Fifth Level of the Flying Sky Realm, and what of it? To insult my disciple is to court death!" Lin Bai’s eyes flashed with icy determination, gripping Du Yue’s Extreme Martial Spiritual Artifact, and thrusted his sword with explosive force!

A power, overwhelming as a tidal wave, immediately erupted from the tip of Lin Bai’s sword, assaulting Zhao Chou’s blade.

Miss Jianyun, moved to tears by Lin Bai’s words "To insult my disciple is to court death," looked towards Lin Bai with increasing respect welling up in her heart!
