Chapter 430 When You Are Surrounded by Crowds

It's also interesting to say.

When Chen Xu came to see Ji Yang, Ji Yang was having a disagreement with his fellow disciple that morning because they had stepped out of their room at the same time.

At that moment, Ji Yang heard the morning bell ringing from inside the door and immediately sat up in bed.

He lived in a four-person room for outer disciples, which was not actually cramped.

The four-person disciples' room is quite spacious, but there is no place to wash up in the room.

Qi cultivation disciples cannot cleanse themselves of dirt and grime; like ordinary people, they need to eat, drink, and relieve themselves, and also have cleaning needs.

Upon hearing the bell, Ji Yang naturally got up quickly and went to the washroom to clean up.

This is what Zhou Hou taught him yesterday.

Zhou Hou told him, "You'll be staying in the disciples' quarters. You don't need to worry about anything else, but you must be proactive in washing up in the morning."

Otherwise, if we are too slow and fail to reach the water level, we will miss the morning class, and the elders who preach the Dharma in the morning will definitely reprimand us.

You can't take this reprimand lightly. If you are reprimanded more than three times in a month, you will be disqualified from attending morning classes.

Our Dharma Transmission Hall has a large spirit-gathering array that can help disciples accelerate their cultivation.

Missing the morning class would be an immeasurable loss.

Ji Yang heard this and kept it in mind, naturally taking it very seriously.

But the next morning, because he was too eager, he bumped into another disciple who also got up quickly.

Ji Yang was at the fifth level of Qi Refining, while his opponent was at the seventh level, showing a clear difference in their cultivation levels.

The disciple immediately glared angrily and accused Ji Yang:
"What are you? How dare you cut me off?"

Don't think that just because you came with Senior Brother Zhou yesterday, we are afraid of you.

Senior Brother Zhou is always fair and reasonable. If he saw you, a junior disciple, daring to compete with him this morning and breaking the sect's rules, he would surely be wrong.

"No need for us to complain, Senior Brother Zhou will definitely reprimand and punish you, you rule-breaker, first!"

Several large hats were slapped down on Ji Yang's head in a flurry.

When Ji Yang first bumped into this person, he wanted to give way and tell him to go out first.

But to everyone's surprise, this person launched into a barrage of accusations, even dragging Zhou Hou into the conversation.

They also kept saying that he didn't follow the rules and didn't respect his senior.

Ji Yang was tongue-tied, and his face turned red as his heart pounded.

He even began to doubt himself: Could it be that he was too hasty and broke the rules?
But he was just getting up normally, and colliding with someone was not his intention.

Does such an accidental bump really warrant such a harsh reprimand and stern reprimand?

Ji Yang had a vague feeling that this shouldn't have happened.

This didn't even seem like a normal squabble between disciples; it was more like a malicious test.

If he were to back down at this moment, the care that Zhou Hou had given him when he specially brought him to the disciples' courtyard would likely be completely lost.

But if he doesn't allow it, his cultivation level is too low.

What should we do?
Ji Yang was filled with trepidation, but he finally mustered his courage and said:
"You, you shouldn't bring up Senior Brother Zhou. I, I didn't break the rules."

I was just getting up normally, who would have thought I'd bump into you at the door?

This, this is…

Before he could finish speaking, the disciple shouted, "How dare you talk back!"

Having said that, he turned around, took a step, and raised his palm to strike Ji Yang.

Seeing the man's aggressive demeanor, Ji Yang's heart pounded like a drum, and he was about to pull out the last protective talisman from his pocket.

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door: "Junior Brother Ji Yang, are you there? Uncle Chen is looking for you!"

Uncle Chen!
Those three short words resounded like thunder in everyone's ears.

It's not that the name "Uncle Chen" is particularly familiar to everyone, but rather that "Uncle" signifies seniority.

To be able to become a senior uncle, wouldn't one at least be at the Golden Core stage?

A senior disciple at the Golden Core stage—which Qi Refining disciple would dare not look up to him?

Even the disciple who was about to deliver a powerful blow to Ji Yang and subdue him immediately stopped.

This person's name is Xu Bo.

Xu Bo withdrew his palm at that moment, even at the cost of the backlash of his true energy. He staggered and fell to the side, hurriedly leaving the palm print on the ground beside him.

boom!
The indoor blue brick floor trembled slightly when it was struck; if it weren't for the protective array, the floor would probably have cracked immediately.

At the same time, Xu Bo felt a sharp pain in his chest.

The forceful reversal of his palm strike had already injured his internal organs.

But Xu Bo had no choice but to do so.

Then, Xu Bo watched as Ji Yang's face lit up with immense joy.

A moment later, several senior disciples from the disciples' academy escorted a young man in a blue robe as he entered.

The man was dressed in a blue robe with a loose belt, possessing an extraordinary air about him, and his face was ridiculously young.

If he weren't being surrounded by people and walking in the middle, who would have thought that he was actually a "senior uncle"?

After all, this world has many talented cultivators who can achieve profound cultivation at a young age.

Or perhaps they possess the secret to eternal youth, remaining as youthful as ever even at a thousand years old—

But their Shenji Sect doesn't have such a person.

No, perhaps it will start today.

Several senior disciples in charge of the disciples' quarters crowded around the young man, calling out to him repeatedly:

"Uncle-Master Chen, if you wish to see Ji Yang, simply send me a message, and I will have him come to pay his respects to you."

Why would you need to make this trip yourself?

Another senior disciple, a deacon, rolled his eyes and said:
“Uncle-Master Chen, Junior Brother Ji arrived yesterday and is probably still resting. I’ll urge him to get up soon…”

What are you getting up from?
Ji Yang had been up for a while.

Senior Brother Luo pushed past Senior Brother Zhang, and as if he had just seen Ji Yang, he turned around and said with delight:

"Oh, Junior Brother Ji, you're up! That's great! Junior Brother Ji, come here quickly, Uncle Chen is here to see you."

By the way, Junior Brother Ji, did you perhaps know Uncle Chen before?

Ji Yang actually came to Shenji Sect with Chen Xu yesterday.

But not many people know about this.

Or rather, the commotion caused by the Nascent Soul cultivator accepting a disciple yesterday was too great.

As a result, everyone only pays attention to Chen Xu, and how many people would notice the inconspicuous Ji Yang?
Even though Ji Yang and Chen Xu entered the sect at the same time, and the timing seemed somewhat coincidental, many people would not consider that Ji Yang and Chen Xu were old acquaintances.

Only now did Chen Xu come looking for him in a grand manner.

When Luo Yue, who was in charge of the disciples' academy, asked this question, Xu Bo, who was lying on the ground, suddenly realized what was happening.

A flash of inspiration, like a thunderbolt, seemed to strike his mind.

First, he finally remembered who this so-called Uncle Chen was: it was Chen Xu, the newly promoted Nascent Soul disciple from yesterday!
If it weren't for Chen Xu, which other Uncle Chen in the sect would be so young?

Then, a huge wave of regret washed over Xu Bo.

He was annoyed that he was too aggressive, wanting to subdue any newcomer he met first.

Unexpectedly, it seems they've kicked a hornet's nest this time.

Xu Bo endured the dull pain in his chest, quietly sat up on the ground, and tried to hunch over and retreat to a corner of the inner room.

At that time, although he regretted it, he was still able to keep his emotions in check.

After all, even if Chen Xu knew Ji Yang, he probably wouldn't stand up for Ji Yang without any principles over such trivial matters.

How close could someone like that be to Ji Yang?

Just as Xu Bo was thinking this, he suddenly saw the young man in the blue robe smile in the sunlight.

He said in a friendly and casual tone, "More than just old acquaintances. I have come here to find Ji Yang to manage my cave dwelling."

"Well, Ji Yang, do you have some free time?"

As Chen Xu finished speaking, Xu Bo, who was quietly retreating with his back bent, was suddenly overwhelmed by a sense of despair.

Finished!

he thinks.
