Awakening of the Ancient: Rise of the Fallen

81 Chapter 77: Are you calling me a Liar?

Elder Min further shifted his focus to Xu Ming who simply nodded his head.

"Since you want to give it a try then alright. But you must remember, You can never share the skills that you chose here with someone else. If you do and you're discovered, You will be punished,' Elder Min said as he handed the booklets back to Xu Ming.

"I will keep that in mind," Xu Ming nodded his head before he turned back and left with Wu Tian.

"What's your plan for now? Do you want to go to class or go back to learn the skills?" Wu Tian asked.

"I'll go back and increase my strength first. As for the class, I'll go later when I'm ready," Xu Ming said.

"Alright. If there's any problem, just inform me, alright?" Wu Tian patted the shoulders of Xu Ming before he turned back and left.

Xu Ming also walked back to his courtyard and ignored the curious gazes of the others.

As he was walking back, he saw someone that made him stop in his tracks.

The same people who tried to mess with him in the morning were standing there blocking his path. What was more shocking was the fact that an Elder was standing behind them.

It was the same Elder that had tested Xu Ming's potential before and had said that he had no potential. That's why he didn't give Xu Ming the basic cultivation skill that was given to the servants.

"I guess what they said was indeed the truth! I never would have expected that someone like Wu Tian would do such a thing and give a fake badge and robe to a servant," 

"He's kinda stupid. It would have been less suspicious if he had done this for another servant, but he chose a servant with 0 potential for cultivation? He's looking to be punished," Elder Jin said with an angry look on his face.

A lot of Outer Sect disciples were already there and they were watching the drama with great interest. In fact, some were even laughing at Xu Ming's misfortune.

"Kid, You know how big of a crime it is to pretend to be a disciple of the sect? The punishment is being crippled!" Elder Jin said as he glared at Xu Ming.

"But since that person brought you here, I'll give them face and only dispel you. Get out of this sect right this instant!" He further said.

"You're making a mistake Elder. I'm not pretending to be anyone. The robe and the badge were given to me by Elder Wu," Xu Ming said without taking a step back.

"Hmm? You dare lie and even name Elder Wu? Hahaha, Do you think I can't ask him straight away? Accept your crimes right now and leave the sect this instant boy! If you don't leave now, then I'll be forced to cripple you for your crimes!" Elder Jin said.

He didn't believe Xu Ming in the slightest. In fact, he was sure of the fact that Xu Ming was lying and saying the name of an intimidating Elder to scare him.

"I'm telling you the truth! You can ask Elder Wu," Xu Ming insisted.

Although he attacked, he kept his power in control so that he wouldn't kill Xu Ming by accident.

Xu Ming couldn't believe that the Elder would attack him instead of asking Elder Wu. He was surprised when he was attacked. He wanted to dodge, but Elder Jin was just too fast.

At the last moment, Xu Ming just braced himself for the impact as he closed his eyes.

The heavy impact he was waiting for, didn't come through.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw the event that made his eyes open wide.

Elder Jin's fist was right before his chest, but there was another hand that had caught his wrist and stopped him.

Xu Ming looked to his left and a smile appeared on his face as he saw the person that had saved him.

"Elder Jin, right? Is that how you behave with the disciples of the sect? We are in a demon sect, but even we have some rules!" Elder Wu said in a strict tone.

"Elder Wu! It's great to see you here. You're misunderstanding the situation. This boy isn't a disciple of the sect. He's just a servant pretending to be a disciple. I caught him and told him to leave, but instead of acknowledging his mistakes, he began lying to me!" Elder Jin exclaimed.

"Oh? What kind of lie?" Elder Wu asked back.

"He said that he is a disciple and that you gave him the badge and the robes!" Elder Jin said.

"Hmm? And what made you think that it was a lie? I did give him the robe and the badge. He's a real disciple of the Outer Sect that had passed the recent trials to get his position," Elder Wu explained.

"Do you know that your prejudice and limited thinking would have crippled a promising disciple? What do you have to explain for yourself?" He further said.

"A promising disciple? Elder Wu, that boy is just talentless trash!" Elder Jin responded.

"Oh? A disciple who managed to become a 9th stage Body Refining Realm cultivator at the young age of 9 is trash?"

"Someone who was able to kill a 10th stage Body Refining Realm cultivator in the trials is trash? Please enlighten me. What is your definition of trash, Elder Jin?"  The more Elder Wu spoke, the louder his tone got.

"N-ninth stage Body Refining Realm? That's impossible!" Elder Jin said with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Oh? So you're calling me a liar as well? You're quite interesting I must say," Elder Wu said with an amused smile on his face.
