“What did you say?” Upon hearing Fang Lin’s words, Sun Kai and Zhang Tiande immediately flashed with an angry gaze, delving a very hostile look towards Fang Lin.
Master Qi also glanced at Fang Lin, his face was filled with coldness.
“Elder Su, are these the kind of people in your Pill Alliance? Too presumptuous!” Master Qi sternly reprimanded.
Elder Su was also lamenting inwardly, but he didn’t have the slightest intent to blame Fang Lin, Master Qi and his disciples were too arrogant and disrespectful. Elder Su was the main man in charge here, yet they completely disregarded him, who could tolerate that?
“Hehe,” Elder Su laughed. He completely ignored them. No matter if you are a grandmaster or not, even a clay figurine has a temper.
Seeing Elder Su’s attitude, Master Qi became even angrier and slapped the table heavily.
“Master, this Fang Lin is too presumptuous. We should teach him a lesson,” said Sun Kai with a sneer.
Master Qi wanted to nod in agreement, but Elder Su calmly said, “Master Qi, you are my guest here. I would like for you to show some respect and not disrespect us both.”
Elder Su’s attitude said it all. He couldn’t tolerate the arrogant attitude from Master Qi and his disciples. Did they really think they were that great? They could swagger elsewhere, but not here.
Master Qi was slightly taken aback, he did not expect Elder Su to say such firm words, this was beyond his expectations.
Master Qi, after all, was a grandmaster. He was of higher rank and status than Elder Su. He became serious: “Elder Su, this Fang Lin is disrespectful, rude to me and my disciples. Could it be that Elder Su turns a blind eye?”
Elder Su snorted, “What I see is how your disciples are aggressive and disrespectful to the Pill Refiners of our Qian Country and Pill Alliance.”
“You!” Master Qi was immediately furious, stood up, and glared at Elder Su.
Elder Su rolled his eyes, “Master Qi, Even though I don’t hold as high a status as you, within this Qian Country’s Pill Alliance, my word is law. Any Pill Refiner here is under my jurisdiction. Outsiders can’t simply boss them around.”
Master Qi and his disciples went pale with fury, when had they ever been treated like this before?
With Master Qi and his disciples always high and mighty, they entered a small country like Qian, naturally looking down on everyone here. They felt like anything they said or did was justified without considering anyone else’s thoughts.
At this moment, the three of them didn’t think they did anything wrong. Instead, they believed that Fang Lin and Elder Su were terribly insolent for talking to them in such a way.
“Su Jianchuan, I was appointed by the Pill Alliance to oversee your public assessment. I have the right to command anyone here, including you,” Master Qi said in a dark tone.
Elder Su also rose from his seat, undaunted: “If so, then Master Qi, please leave. My place here is small and can’t accommodate you three big buddhas.”
Fang Lin and several stewards of the Pill Alliance admired Elder Su secretly, this was the spirit of a man in charge, a truly domineering attitude.
If you come, just be modest and polite, don’t act smug.
If you are impolite and want to take a foot when given an inch, ignoring us completely, then you can get out of here.
Master Qi was trembling all over with rage, and his disciples were dazed, standing there not knowing what to do, and all eyes were on Master Qi.
Master Qi really wanted to slam the table and leave, but he had a mission here. If he left without completing his task, he would still have to answer to his superiors.
Even if Master Qi reported to the higher-ups that Elder Su was rude to them, and didn’t respect them, it won’t help. Even though Su Jianchuan’s status in the Pill Alliance might not be as good as yours, Master Qi, but Elder Su has a firmly rooted position in the Pill Alliance of Qian Country, and he manages such a large division in an orderly manner. Your snitching would not bring much trouble to Su; He would only be reprimanded lightly at most by the higher-ups, but they won’t do anything more serious to him.
On the other hand, if Master Qi and his disciples left like this, there would likely be rumors the next day that Master Qi and his disciples were chased out before their seats got warm.
In that case, the three of them would probably become a laughing stock within the Pill Alliance.
At this moment, Master Qi calmed down and realized that Elder Su and the other Pill Alliance members were different; they only responded well to politeness and didn’t tolerate any form of rudeness.
“Su Jianchuan, I was appointed by the higher-ups. I will not leave until the task is completed. I will talk to the higher-ups about how disrespectful you were to me. As for this Fang Lin, such a young brat, he’s very rude and hateful,” Master Qi said while turning his attention back to Fang Lin.
“That’s right, this Fang Lin is too hateful, he doesn’t put us in his eyes.”
“I’ve never seen such a presumptuous person.”
Master Qi’s disciples also echoed their sentiments. They viewed themselves as superior to Fang Lin, and they expected him to show them the utmost respect and comply with their every wish.
Fang Lin sneered incessantly. A pair of trash who dared to show off in front of him – a Pill Sovereign – if this were in his previous life, he would have thrown both of them into the Pill Furnace to make Human Flesh Pills a long time ago.
Elder Su rolled his eyes, “And what does Master Qi propose?”
Master Qi pointed at Fang Lin and bluntly said, “He must kneel down and apologize to me and my disciples, and he must be expelled from the Pill Alliance.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the coldness in Fang Lin’s eyes grew deeper, with a faint killing intent emerging.
The other stewards also looked worriedly at Fang Lin, Master Qi clearly wanted to vent his anger on Fang Lin since he couldn’t do anything to Elder Su.
Both Sun Kai and Zhang Tiande angrily said, “He must kneel down and apologize to us!”
Ever since they had taken Master Qi as their Master, who would dare to talk to them face to face? Not to mention saying that they had superficial knowledge? This was absolutely unbearable.
Elder Su chuckled again, “I can’t make that decision.”
After finishing speaking, he looked at Fang Lin.
Fang Lin maintained indifferent, “Sorry, even if I leave the Pill Alliance, I will not kneel to you two pieces of trash.”
“How dare you!” Sun Kai was furious and Zhang Tiande was also unbearable, their eyes seemed to emit fire.
Even Master Qi laughed, but it was a chilly and murderous smile.
Elder Su’s gaze momentarily tensed, then reverted back to normal. If Fang Lin were to cower, he wouldn’t be Fang Lin anymore. Even when facing the Li family, Fang Lin had never bowed his head.
Now, facing Master Qi, he naturally didn’t bow his head.
In Fang Lin’s view, swallowing one’s anger to keep calm is only a last resort when one’s enemy is too powerful to resist.
Now that they’d demanded you to kneel, why should you bear it? If you don’t grab a weapon and smash their faces in, you’re already being polite.
