Chapter 1282: Chapter 1282: The Drunkard
"Hmph, what about the people from the Heaven Hall? I act when I want."
"If you’re not convinced, feel free to attack me directly and avenge your Heaven Hall disciple."
"If you don’t dare to fight, you can report me to the Law Enforcement Hall; I’m ready to face them anytime."
Zi Ling looked at Shi An, and spoke calmly.
When it comes to her actions, Zi Ling naturally knew her limits.
Wang Shuo’s injuries would heal after resting for two or three months, so it wasn’t a big issue. The Law Enforcement Hall wouldn’t punish her for such a small conflict.
However, she couldn’t escape the responsibility of paying for the spirit stone used to damage the building.
Seeing Zi Ling’s fearless demeanor, Shi An understood clearly that even if this matter went to the Law Enforcement Hall, they couldn’t do much to Zi Ling.
Currently, the strong ones in Heaven Hall are all focused on their cultivation, and Shi An’s strength couldn’t match Zi Ling’s; he could only endure his anger.
If he truly provoked Zi Ling and she decided to teach him a lesson, he’d be hit for nothing.
So, Shi An didn’t dare to provoke Zi Ling any further.
He definitely didn’t want to end up like Wang Shuo.
"Hmph, you all just wait, our Heaven Hall won’t swallow this anger."
Shi An glared at Lin Chen and the others, spat out some harsh words and left.
Even though he couldn’t deal with Zi Ling, he still had some means against Lin Chen and the others.
Aside from Lin Chen, this time he bore grudges against Yu Weilian, Yang Minghui, and others.
After all, he kindly invited the two of them, and yet they didn’t appreciate it, not only refusing but also joining the Yellow Hall, completely disregarding the Heaven Hall’s dignity.
If this issue wasn’t resolved, Heaven Hall’s reputation in Yunlong Heavenly Palace would cease to exist.
If he couldn’t even handle a few new students, Shi An would be ashamed to continue as a temporary leader in Heaven Hall, becoming a laughing stock in Yunlong Heavenly Palace.
Later, seeing Shi An left with an angry blue face, Lin Chen and the others couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
Zi Ling’s way of handling things truly fit their preferences.
With Zi Ling like this, other brothers and sisters from Yellow Hall would surely not disappoint them either.
Afterwards, under Cheng Liang’s guidance, Lin Chen and the others followed along, heading to Yellow Hall together.
Upon reaching Yellow Hall, Lin Chen noticed one thing; it was sparsely populated, only occasionally spotting a few servants doing chores within the hall.
"Senior Sister Zi Ling, why haven’t I seen our other brothers and sisters in Yellow Hall along the way?"
Su Yun looked at Zi Ling and asked calmly.
This was also what Lin Chen thought inwardly.
Looking at Su Yun, without hesitation, Zi Ling and Cheng Liang replied.
"Other brothers and sisters?"
"Junior Brother, you don’t know, let me tell you. Until today, the entire Yellow Hall in the Outer Sect comprised just me and Cheng Liang, now with you all joining, it’ll be a bit livelier in the future."
Zi Ling looked at Lin Chen and the others and spoke calmly.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen was stunned.
No wonder before Liang Xuanzhen and Zhang Hongying looked at them with strange expressions; those folks knew about Yellow Hall’s situation already.
That’s why when Lin Chen and the others agreed to join Yellow Hall, they showed such expressions, extremely regretful.
Yang Minghui, Yu Weilian, and others were also very shocked inside after hearing Zi Ling’s words.
Su Yun sighed too, thinking he should’ve asked his cousin clearly beforehand, and now there’s no turning back.
"Senior Sister, why does our Yellow Hall have only you and Cheng Liang as disciples, where are the others?"
Lin Chen looked at Zi Ling, asking seriously.
He secretly felt like he’d been duped.
"Other disciples? Either they’ve passed the assessment to enter the Inner Sect as Inner Sect Disciple at Yunlong Heavenly Palace."
"Or, they’ve run away!"
Zi Ling spoke without concealment.
"Run away? Why did they run?"
Lin Chen tensed up inside and continued to ask.
"Why did they run?"
"What’s up with you, asking so many questions? You look like a man, yet you’re nagging like a woman."
Zi Ling looked at Lin Chen and scolded.
Lin Chen was speechless when hearing this.
What do you mean I look like a man? I am a man, okay? Do I look like Yang Minghui, that fake tomboy?
Lin Chen looked at Zi Ling, but Zi Ling didn’t continue to answer, seemingly unwilling to discuss the matter further, so Lin Chen didn’t press the issue.
After all, now at Yellow Hall, they’ve signed the roster, and since only Yellow Hall was willing to accept them among the four halls, Lin Chen and the others had no other choice.
Just as Lin Chen and the others followed Zi Ling around Yellow Hall, introducing various places, a slovenly-dressed man who looked like a beggar approached the group.
The man held a gourd in his hand and reeked of alcohol.
He seemed like a drunkard; Lin Chen frowned slightly, staring at the drunkard, his gaze unwavering.
To the crowd, the man appeared to be a drunkard, but Lin Chen felt that he was not simple.
"Yo yo, little Zi Ling, your luck’s good this time to recruit so many people."
The drunkard’s gaze fell on Zi Ling and he spoke.
After speaking, he continued to walk shakily.
Upon hearing this, everyone secretly sighed, thinking that guy would surely get a beating for daring to address the fierce Senior Sister in such a way.
However, Zi Ling surprisingly didn’t punish the drunkard as the others expected, instead simply scolded him harshly.
"Get lost, this time I’ve finally recruited this batch of disciples, if you scare them away, I’ll fight you to the death."
Zi Ling looked at the drunkard and spoke earnestly.
"What are you saying? Aren’t these disciples all ours in Yellow Hall? I’m hoping they’ll treat me with fine wine in the future, how could I scare them away."
The drunkard replied casually.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen squinted his eyes slightly, certain that this drunkard was not ordinary.
