Under Elder Guo's instructions, Qiu Zhichen did as he was told even though he was reluctant. He walked to Elder Xu and said perfunctorily, "I'm sorry.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong."
Then, he prepared to leave in a hurry. I was a little annoyed. "Wait. Since you don't have integrity, you should just kneel down and apologize!"
"What?" Qiu Zhichen's face twitched slightly.
"What?
Do you have a problem with that? "I raised my eyebrows and showed my annoyance.
Qiu Zhichen immediately shivered. He was indescribably nervous, afraid that I would make a move on him.
"You've already embarrassed yourself. It doesn't matter if you kneel down. Don't delay our return!" Elder Guo used his True Qi to transmit his voice.
After Qiu Zhichen's defeat, his master's attitude also plummeted. The world was that realistic. No matter how arrogant Qiu Zhichen was, Elder Guo would protect him, but now …
A cool atmosphere that he had never felt before enveloped Qiu Zhichen. Originally, he wanted to indulge himself in the Flower City for a while. With his identity, it would be easy for him to hug a woman on both sides.
In the end, his plans couldn't keep up with the changes. Not only did he fail to get Xu Jiaorou, but he also ended up like this. He really regretted it.
Qiu Zhichen's heart was filled with endless hatred. As the saying went, where there's life, there's hope. It seemed that this kid was also going to participate in the promotion competition soon. In other words, he still had a chance to turn things around.
After thinking about it, Qiu Zhichen knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Elder Xu, it was my fault. I hope you can forgive me."
"Alright, young man. Don't be so impulsive in the future. It won't do you any good." Elder Xu waved his hand and did not argue with him.
Qiu Zhichen's brain was like a chicken pecking at rice. To be honest, this guy did have the capital to be arrogant, but I still felt that the path of martial arts was long. In this field, there would always be someone better than you. Only by maintaining a heart that was free from arrogance and rashness could you be an ivy.
Not long after, the two Wudang Elders greeted me and prepared to leave with Qiu Zhichen. They came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
Originally, Elder Pei asked them to stay in the capital for a few days, but the two Elders refused. They were in a hurry to report this matter.
Old Mr. Pei arranged for a car to send them off.
"Sigh, Zhuang Feng, you're too impulsive. I can tell you clearly that offending the Wudang Sect won't do you any good," said Old Pei as he shook his head.
"Am I supposed to not fight back when you hit me, or not fight back when you scold me?" I said angrily.
I understand the etiquette of respecting one's master. It's just that Old Pei has been siding with the people of Wudang all this time. I don't say he's fawning over them, but his attitude is like he's receiving the leader of a big country.
Actually, I felt that it wasn't necessary. Old Luo had done a good job in this regard. He had integrity and stood his ground.
Like Elder Guo and Qiu Zhichen, they were the kind of people who were insatiable. The more respect they were given, the more self-righteous they would be. Only by giving them a severe warning would they know who they were.
Old Mr. Pei was blaming me, so I couldn't help but talk back to him.
Old Pei blushed. He wanted to flare up, but he didn't know what to say. Old Luo and Hong Zhanhui were on my side, and he didn't want to offend them.
"Sigh, I was just reminding you out of goodwill, but you didn't appreciate it …" Old Pei couldn't help but mutter.
Then, he walked to Old Luo's side and whispered, "Old Luo, are you sure you want to let him go?
What should we do if the Chief pursues the matter? "
Chief No. 1 had told them not long ago that they had to handle this matter carefully. From another perspective, perhaps Chief No. 1 knew that Chief Wu and the others were indebted to me, so he didn't want to pick up this hot potato.
Old Luo didn't answer him. After thinking for a while, he suddenly called out, "Xiao Zhuang."
"Yes!" I answered.
"You're more or less responsible for this matter. You won't deny that, right?" Old Luo said solemnly.
"Yeah, I am." I nodded, but I didn't go into details.
"Very well, I will now give you a chance to redeem yourself. The borders are not peaceful and Shangguan Guoqiang has a stubborn temper. He is not willing to accept external support. You should know this as well. You are a Nanyun citizen and also his grandson-in-law. Previously, when you went to the capital to further your studies, many people in Nanyun felt that it was Shangguan Guoqiang's idea. They were afraid that you were putting yourself in danger and said a bunch of ugly words. I hope that you can take up the heavy responsibility and prove to them that you are not that so-called deserter. Can you do it?
"Sure." I smiled brightly.
"Your voice is too soft. I can't hear your determination!" Old Luo sounded a little dissatisfied.
"Sure!"
I replied with a sonorous voice. It was as if I was shouting through a loudspeaker, revealing my burning fighting spirit.
"The border is in danger. As a man with iron bones, I naturally won't shirk my duty."
"Cough. Xiao Zhuang, there are still about ten days until the promotion competition. Are you going to withdraw from the competition?"
Pavilion Master Sui suddenly became nervous. He had called Shangguan Guoqiang out of selfishness. With his status, Shangguan Guoqiang would definitely give him face.
However, I found out about this incident. I can't deny that Pavilion Master Sui did it for my own good. However, in his eyes, the promotion competition was more important. At worst, he could send reinforcements from Dragon Group and Martial Pavilion to solve the problem. It was just that Shangguan Guoqiang had lost face, so it was hard to come up with an expedient plan.
"Don't worry, Pavilion Master Sui. Within ten days, I will definitely quell the chaos at the border!"
I said confidently. Then, I paused for a while before continuing, "I will still say the same thing. Those who offend me, Hua Xia, will be punished no matter how far they are!"
Although I didn't say it loudly, it had an indescribable boldness to it. I glanced at Old Pei, but unfortunately, I didn't find anything strange.
