Can't Afford to Offend My Scheming Disciple

16. The Trial I

Translator: Alanese Fantasy

Following the gaze of the crowd, the young man couldn’t help but feel stunned. Looking at the beauty in front of him, Qian Fu’s eyes popped out of his head.

“It seems that what the servant said is right. He’s really drop-dead gorgeous.”

As soon as he said so, everyone understood that it was the hostelry’s servant who delivered the message to Qian Fu. Obviously, the servant was a skilled messenger.

Qian Family was the most famous rich family in Jinfeng City.

Qian Fu was especially into beauties. However, he had a sadistic streak, so the beauties he brought back home ended up either disabled or dead.

He walked up to Zhuo Hua and looked at him covetously. ‘If I could get this beauty, I would die without regrets.’

Nan Chen went up and stood in front of Zhuo Hua, blocking everyone’s sight and duly played the role of a loyal disciple.

The reason that he stayed by Zhuo Hua’s side was to have Zhuo Hua feel betrayed by his closest ones.

Therefore, he couldn’t put Zhuo Hua in danger before he was strong enough to reach his goal.

“Get out of my way!” Having seen someone standing in the way, Qian Fu said impatiently.

Nan Chen cast a glance at him coldly, which made Qian Fu shiver.

Having noticed that this guy was a tough cookie, Qian Fu waved his hand behind his body and shout, “Beat him!”

A group of guards came to surround Nan Chen and Zhuo Hua.

Zhuo Hua stopped Nan Chen who was about to cast a spell. He shook his head towards Nan Chen and flickered his sleeve. All the guests in the hostelry froze on the spot as if someone had pressed the pause button, and even the dropping food suspended in mid-air.

Zhuo Hua let go of Nan Chen’s hand and walked out of the hostelry.

Nan Chen looked at his hand and felt the remaining warmth.

Then he followed Zhuo Hua and got out of the place.

…

The people in the hostelry moved slowly like someone pressed the play button.

Qian Fu suddenly came to his senses and scratched his head.

‘Why am I here?’

As soon as Nan Chen walked out of the hostelry, he casually waved one hand, and a shadow moved in a corner.

He just didn’t like the man.

At night that day.

A scream came from Young Master Qian’s room, and the servants kicked the door open. Several disheveled young women in the bed cuddled tightly. Qian Fu was lying on the ground with his hands covering his lower part of the body, and there was a bloody column-like thing beside him.

The servants immediately felt cold in their lower bodies and all quivered.

No sooner had the master and disciple returned to the Bamboo Peak than Qing Yangzi arrived.

“A trial?” As soon as they came back, Zhuo Hua and Nan Chen heard that the Fu City Mystery Land had opened, and all disciples of Muyang Temple who were under the Gold Formation Period had to enter the mystery land for trial.

“But for the Fu City Mystery Land, it should take two more …” Having realized what he had said, Zhuo Hua quickly stopped.

He remembered that in Become the Demon, it would take two more years to open the Fu City Mystery Land. Why was it ahead of schedule?

Nan Chen listened to Zhuo Hua and couldn’t help but frown slightly.

‘Two more what? Does he know that the mystery land won’t open in two years? It seems that my master keeps a lot of secrets.’

“Yeah, Nan Chen has reached the Gold Formation Period, hasn’t he?” said Qing Yangzi.

Nan Chen had reached the period only within ten years, and such a talent had never appeared in the past thousand years.

“Well, it depends on Nan Chen.”

Qing Yangzi asked Nan Chen after having heard this, “Nan Chen, would you like to take the trial?”

“Yes,” replied Nan Chen.

‘Why not?’ It was he who deliberately opened the Fu City Mystery Land two years in advance. If he wouldn’t take it, how could he get that thing.

“Okay, half a month later, see you in the training field. You’ll lead the team this time.” Qing Yangzi said before leaving the Bamboo Peak.

When Qing Yangzi had left, Zhuo Hua gave Nan Chen a storage ring.

“There are some elixirs and magical instruments that can protect you, and a jade card engraved with my full stroke in this storage ring. It can only be used in the critical moment.”

Thinking that it was Nan Chen’s first time to undergo a trial, Zhuo Hua got a bit worried.

“Yes, Master.”
