The Masked Strength of Sect's Trash : The Lazy Second Senior Brother chapter 34

Chapter 34: The Master Protects the Disciple

Xiao Chuang's nose nearly twisted in anger.

Was this a threat?

Yes, it was a threat.

Who gave you the courage to threaten a Nascent Soul stage master?

Your grandfather? .??.??

Even if your grandfather is in the mid-Nascent Soul stage, so what?

Even if my junior brother Shao Cheng is in the early Nascent Soul stage, so what?

Do you really think people like us would be afraid of your grandfather?

Idiot, idiot!

Xiao Chuang cursed Xiao Qun as a fool in his heart.

And while he was at it, he cursed her grandfather too.

Only a fool would raise such a foolish descendant.

Shao Cheng had a good temper; he was known throughout the Lingxiao Sect as a kind-hearted person.

Without a good temper, how could he tolerate his disciples behaving like that?

But having a good temper didn’t mean he didn’t have one at all.

Xiao Qun was just a small Foundation Establishment cultivator. Shao Cheng could crush a cultivator of her level with just one finger.

With Xiao Qun’s current attitude, Shao Cheng could kill her, and no one would find fault with him.

Even if her grandfather came, he couldn’t say anything.

Low-level cultivators offending high-level cultivators and getting killed for it was simply their bad luck.

Shao Cheng let out a cold snort. "Are you threatening me?"

That cold snort hit Xiao Qun like a hammer blow. Her face turned pale, and she staggered back, falling to the ground with a thud.

She looked at Shao Cheng in terror. Only now did she realize that the person in front of her was a Nascent Soul master, not some random riffraff from her household.

Xiao Chuang cursed loudly, "Idiot! Open your eyes and see clearly. This is an elder of the Lingxiao Sect, the Peak Lord of Tianyu Peak."

"His strength is not much different from your grandfather's."

"And yet you dare to show him disrespect? Killing you would be more than justified."

"Hurry up and apologize to Peak Lord Shao!"

Xiao Qun, thoroughly scolded, came to her senses.

"Peak Lord Shao, I... I was wrong."

She hurriedly knelt down to apologize.

Shao Cheng, with a cold expression, said, "Go back and reflect on your actions. I won't hold it against you."

"Now get out of Tianyu Peak."

Xiao Qun's face turned even paler. "Peak Lord, but... my belongings..."

"Your belongings?"

"You dared to offend me and even tried to slander my disciple?"

"Get out of here. I'm only sparing you because of Senior Brother Xiao. If you don't leave now, don't blame me for being merciless."

Shao Cheng's expression turned icy, and he glared at Xiao Qun.

How terrifying is it when a Nascent Soul cultivator gets angry?

At this moment, Xiao Qun felt as if she could barely breathe. Every cell in her body trembled, as if it might explode at any moment.

The overwhelming pressure made Xiao Qun feel like she was being crushed by a ten-thousand-mile mountain, unable to move.

Shao Cheng's gaze pierced through her like countless sharp swords, tearing apart her flesh and soul.

Xiao Qun was filled with terror, feeling like she was about to die at any moment.

All she wanted now was to escape from this place; she didn't dare stay any longer.

Being here made her feel like a chicken waiting to be slaughtered, her neck at Shao Cheng's mercy.

Trembling, Xiao Qun left. Judging by her terrified state, it would take her quite some time to recover.

After Xiao Qun left, Shao Cheng's expression softened, and he returned to his usual kind and honest demeanor.

He turned to Xiao Chuang and said, "I hope Senior Brother Xiao won't blame me for scaring your juniors."

Xiao Chuang waved his hand dismissively. "It's fine. She was being disrespectful and offended you."

"Let her learn a lesson; it's better than her suffering outside."

However...

Xiao Chuang said, "I've known you for so long, but this is the first time I've seen you like this."

Shao Cheng had a good temper and a straightforward character; he was the quintessential nice guy. ??

This was the first time Xiao Chuang had seen Shao Cheng act this way toward a junior.

No matter how the juniors behaved, Shao Cheng usually wouldn't get angry.

Even that brat, Lü Shaoqing...

Huh?

Xiao Chuang suddenly realized something.

"Junior Brother Shao, you didn’t do that on purpose, did you?"

Shao Cheng’s face turned slightly red. "What do you mean by 'on purpose'?"

"Senior Brother, what are you talking about?"

Xiao Chuang said, "Junior Brother Shao, stop pretending."

"That girl said she was robbed here. It’s definitely true."

"And we both know who did it."

"You got angry and kicked her out of Tianyu Peak so she couldn’t pursue the matter further. You’re covering for that brat, aren’t you?"

Shao Cheng coughed. "Senior Brother Xiao, you’re overthinking it. There's nothing like that."

How embarrassing.

How could he possibly admit to something like this?

Xiao Chuang said, "Don’t worry, I won’t blame you."

"But what that brat did was really too much, wasn’t it?"

"And yet, you’re still covering for him?"

Shao Cheng replied, "Senior Brother Xiao, you know Shaoqing can be a bit outrageous at times, but he wouldn’t do something like that without a reason."

"He must have had his reasons."

"What reason?"

Shao Cheng said, "Your niece mentioned earlier that she ran into Shaoqing and Xiao Yi together."

Shao Cheng then asked, "Does Xiao Yi have a grudge against that girl?"

Xiao Chuang was quick to catch on and immediately understood.

Shao Cheng wasn’t just covering for Lü Shaoqing; he was also covering for Xiao Yi.

Xiao Chuang couldn’t help but sigh, "You really are a considerate master."

Shao Cheng had done this on purpose to protect his disciples.

And one of those disciples happened to be Xiao Chuang's own niece.

So, Xiao Chuang didn’t dwell on it any further.

But he did have one more question to clarify.

"Junior Brother Shao, why was Xiao Yi with that brat?"

"Aren’t you worried that my niece might be led astray?"

He had repeatedly warned his niece to stay away from Lü Shaoqing after coming to Tianyu Peak.

And yet, she ended up spending time with Lü Shaoqing. What a disaster.

If Xiao Yi turned out like Lü Shaoqing, how would he ever explain it to his brother?

Shao Cheng chuckled and said, "That was Jiyan's arrangement. As her master, I have no say in the matter."

Hearing that Jiyan had made the arrangements, Xiao Chuang felt less resentful.

When it came to Jiyan, the elders had complete trust in his decisions.

Curious, he asked, "Why did he arrange it that way?"

Shao Cheng replied, "Jiyan wants Xiao Yi to comprehend sword intent before entering the Foundation Establishment stage."

Cough cough.

Shao Cheng's words made Xiao Chuang choke in surprise.
