Chapter 68 What are you laughing at! Is everything so funny?!
In the arena, Lu Jin stood still, her face turning from white to red, and then from red to green.
He was almost overwhelmed by a huge sense of frustration and shame.
Last time at the Wuhou School, he lost because the opponent's magic was strange and unpredictable. In addition, it was his first time encountering a Qimen sorcerer, and he suffered from his lack of experience.
This time, he was prepared for close combat, believing he had a sufficient understanding of Qimen magic, and was even willing to trade blows.
However, Zhuge Yan used an almost "teasing" method to casually break his reversal of fate!
This was even harder for him to accept than being defeated!
He suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhuge Yan, who had already begun to restrain his rebellious energy, as if he had only done a trivial matter. His eyes were filled with complex and indescribable emotions.
Shock, resentment, humiliation, and even a hint of... fear?
Zhuge Yan slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air. He looked at the distraught Lu Jin, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and a hint of apology flashed in his eyes.
So it was finally used?
Lu Jin, oh Lu Jin, it seems even fate won't let you escape this slap...
"Senior Brother Lu, you flatter me."
These words were like the last straw, completely breaking Lu Jin.
His lips trembled, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Finally, he stomped his foot, turned around and parted the crowd, forcibly suppressing the tears that were about to spill from his eyes, and rushed back to his residence without looking back, leaving everyone with a back view filled with shame and indignation.
An eerie silence fell over the square once again. Everyone looked at Zhuge Yan in the center of the square, but no one dared to step forward to offer their congratulations.
It wasn't because Zhuge Yan was unpopular, but because everyone could clearly sense that the "powder keg" over there was now on the verge of "exploding"!
Sure enough, the very next second after Lu Jin left, Si Chong let out a roar.
"You brat, look what you've done!"
The next second, accompanied by a gust of wind, Si Chong rushed towards Zhuge Yan in the arena at an extremely fast speed!
"So fast!"
Zhuge Yan's pupils suddenly contracted.
It's no wonder he's their senior uncle from the Sanyi Sect.
Even the elders in the clan are slightly inferior to this speed!
A mystery!
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhuge Yan immediately activated the secret mechanism.
Thanks to the "prophecy" and neural reflexes granted by Xuanji, he was finally able to react before Si Chong could stab him in the face.
The character "艮" (Gen) symbolizes a dragon swimming on the earth!
Boom!
Just as Si Chong was about to grab Zhuge Yan, the next second, Zhuge Yan, like a gopher in an amusement park, scurried underground before Si Chong could catch him!
It seemed that Chong's grasping motion missed its target, and he was momentarily stunned.
Clearly, even he himself didn't expect that, despite his personal appearance, Zhuge Yan could still escape!
For a moment, Si Chong's beard almost twisted out of shape from anger.
"Alright, alright, let's see where you can hide now, you brat!"
Just as he was about to activate the Reverse Life Triple Realm in a fit of anger and have some fun with his "precious junior nephew," a clear, cold voice suddenly rang out.
"That's enough, junior brother."
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze turned to Zuo Ruotong in the crowd.
"Senior brother, but..."
Before Si Chong could finish speaking, Zuo Ruotong forcefully interrupted him.
Let's stop here.
After saying that, Zuo Ruotong also looked down at the ground beneath her feet.
"Yan'er, come out too."
As Zuo Ruotong finished speaking, a large hole suddenly appeared in the ground not far from her, and Zhuge Yan, who had just disappeared underground, emerged from it.
After being "unearthed," he first patted the dust off his body, and then respectfully bowed to Zuo Ruotong.
"Master."
"Um."
Zuo Ruotong stepped forward and patted Zhuge Yan on the shoulder, a satisfied smile appearing on her lips.
"Well done."
Upon hearing this, Si Chong immediately became displeased.
"Senior brother, given the way Zhuge Yan defeated Lu Jin just now, you not only didn't punish him, but you also praised him?"
Upon hearing this, the members of the Sanyi Sect present exchanged bewildered glances.
In fact, what Chong said reflected the sentiments of many people present.
In their view, even if Zhuge Yan was stronger than Lu Jin, as his junior brother, he really shouldn't have ended the battle in such an insulting way.
Faced with the gazes of everyone, Zuo Ruotong couldn't help but shake her head.
"You guys... if your usual competitions are just about winning and losing, then..."
In my opinion, you don't need to compete with others anymore.
When she said this, Zuo Ruotong's tone rose several octaves, clearly indicating that she was somewhat angry.
Upon seeing this scene, a look of fear flashed across everyone's faces.
Within the entire Sanyi Sect, Zuo Ruotong held absolute authority.
When he was giving a speech, even Si Chong obediently didn't dare to say a word.
"Go, Yun'er, bring your senior brother here."
"yes!"
Zhuge Yun was startled and immediately ran to find Lu Jin.
Before long, he brought Lu Jin back to the square.
Looking at Lu Jin, whose eyes were red and who had clearly been secretly wiping away tears, a strange expression appeared on everyone's faces.
Some people covered their mouths, wanting to laugh, but dared not let their laughter out of respect for their master, Zuo Ruotong's, authority. In the end, they could only suppress their laughter until their faces turned red and their bodies trembled.
"What are you laughing at! Is everything so funny?!"
Si Chong turned his head, first glaring fiercely at the Sanyi Sect members behind him, and then strode over to Lu Jin's side.
"You too! What are you crying for! Can't you be a little more dignified!"
What? Is it shameful to lose to your junior brother?
"You can't even handle this little setback? All that meditation you've been practicing has gone to waste!"
Upon seeing this scene, Zhuge Yan, who had just harbored considerable resentment towards his senior martial uncle, instantly felt relieved.
It seems this person wasn't targeting just him, but rather "creating death" equally for everyone. What else can be said?
"Uncle-Master, I'm sorry..."
Lu Jin lowered her head, a hint of shame flashing in her eyes.
Just then, his master Zuo Ruotong's gentle voice rang in his ears.
"Jin'er, raise your head."
"Master..."
Lu Jin slowly raised her head.
"Do you feel ashamed?"
"Um……"
Lu Jin nodded, but did not deny it.
"How have I taught you on a daily basis?"
Zuo Ruotong continued to ask in a calm tone.
"Do you really want me to have a simple sparring match between you two brothers?"
You keep talking about sparring and learning from others, but what have you actually learned?
thump!
Under everyone's gaze, Lu Jin suddenly knelt down on the ground.
"Master, I know I was wrong!"
