Chapter 54: The Confucian Sect Disciple Turned Out to Be This Kind of Human (2/2)

Upon seeing this, the onlookers couldn’t help but express their astonishment. In terms of cultivation history, it was indeed rare to find a partner so early.

Dongfang Yu displayed a look of sudden realization, nodded, and turned to Yin Pingzhi to say:

“Pingzhi, this time you acted impulsively!”

“The wealthy family is indeed a partner, not some trick to deceive children! How could you lead the junior disciples to surround them?”

“Disturbing the wealthy family, and you still haven’t apologized!”

Yin Pingzhi instantly reacted, hurriedly bowing deeply to Ning Wuxie.

“Brother Ning, I sincerely apologize. It was my recklessness!”

The other disciples also quickly reacted, all bowing in unison.

Ning Wuxie found himself surrounded by a sea of bows, feeling as if he and Xuan’er were like dark overlords.

However, he merely nodded, as if he hadn’t heard, saying nothing.

“Children cannot be taught! Is an apology enough? Even Zilu received respect for saving a human. You offended another human, and you think a single sentence can settle it? Do you intend to kidnap the wealthy family?”

Dongfang Yu saw this and reprimanded him on the spot.

“Right, right, right, the teacher’s lesson is correct!”

Yin Pingzhi suddenly woke up, stood up, and rummaged through his storage ring.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and, with an extremely pained expression, took out a talisman from the storage ring.

“Brother Ning, seeing you are young and bringing a partner is not easy. I have an injury-avoiding talisman here. After it is activated, it can reduce damage within a radius of three meters for three breaths…”

Ning Wuxie looked at the injury-avoiding talisman, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

This was indeed a valuable item.

“Understood, I know Brother Yin also has a good heart…”

The onlookers saw the two humans reconcile and felt it was no longer interesting. They still had many insults to hurl, but they could only disperse.

With a few words, Dongfang Yu turned this incident into a minor misunderstanding, even dissipating the discussions and attacks aimed at the Confucian Sect.

Ning Wuxie sighed inwardly, realizing that the Confucian Sect indeed played with the court’s strings, their schemes deep and intricate.

Compared to them, Meng Cangran hardly seemed like a disciple of the Confucian Sect.

As the crowd dispersed, Yin Pingzhi and his younger brothers still hunched over, not daring to look up at Dongfang Yu.

Dongfang Yu glanced at them, coldly saying:

“Get lost, copy the disciple rules three hundred times for me!”

A group of humans huddled together, retreating timidly.

Only Ning Wuxie, Xuan’er, and Dongfang Yu remained.

“Thank you for resolving the situation.” Ning Wuxie performed a bow.

“It seems there was no need for me, you handled it yourself.” Dongfang Yu smiled, looking up and down at Ning Wuxie.

“Not at all, seeking attention is despicable, making humans disdainful. It was only because of concern for the partner behind me that I had no choice but to act.”

Dongfang Yu was momentarily taken aback, raising a hand to stroke his beard, seemingly pondering the meaning of this statement.

“Great actions do not concern themselves with minor details, and great courtesy does not refuse small concessions. Since it was to protect a loved one, the means taken are no longer despicable.”

Dongfang Yu slowly nodded, a hint of appreciation appearing in his eyes as he looked at Ning Wuxie.

“It seems that Cangran’s evaluation of you is correct; you indeed possess an extraordinary character.”

“But a warning must be given: relying solely on words will not make one of the Twelve Young Talents of the Confucian Sect.”

“A slight change within the Confucian Sect can stir up huge waves in the Great Dynasty. Can you guess how many humans above are counting on this selection to cultivate their successors?”

“Even this Yin Pingzhi has a mountain to rely on. For you, there is only that reckless Meng Cangran.”

Dongfang Yu gazed at the scenery outside the Flying Boat, his tone light and casual.

Yet the words spoken sent chills down the spines of the humans present.

Behind the seemingly ordinary narrative lay countless entanglements of power!

Ning Wuxie held Xuan’er’s hand, also looking out at the scenery outside the Flying Boat, resolutely saying:

“If Brother Meng trusts me, then I will definitely not let him down.”

“Good, your courage is commendable.” Dongfang Yu nodded with a smile.

“Then let me remind you once more: the killer from Huangquan has already boarded this ship.”

“I do not know who he is disguised as, nor do I know who sent him, but I have sensed a trace of his aura.”

“I advise you to be extra cautious.”
