Fantasy: Reject the Supreme Bone at the Beginning

177: Just do it!”Haha, Elder, you can rest assured. We’re not three-year-olds; we’ll definitely be careful,” Lin Xiao said with a smile.

After speaking, he led Li Qingyu and the other two towards the Sect Treasury.

However, they hadn’t walked long before several angry, unwilling shouts rang out.

”Elder, why can those three nobodies go in together, while we Core Disciples have to wait outside?”

”Yeah, Elder, didn’t you say that even the Sect’s true inheritors couldn’t be an exception? So what’s the deal with those three?”

”Elder, could one of those three be your descendant, which is why you’re being so lenient?”

”Hiss, now that you mention it, it really seems possible. Those three aren’t even Core Disciples; what right do they have to enter the Sect Treasury?”

”Exactly, an Outer Sect Disciple, an Inner Sect Disciple, and another Disciple whose identity isn’t even known—how could they possibly gain access to the Sect Treasury?”

”So you mean...”

”Do I really need to spell it out? Of course, our esteemed Elder is abusing his power for personal gain, allowing his descendants to freely enter the Sect Treasury and take things, treating the Sect Treasury like his own backyard garden.”

”Heh heh, taking things from the Sect Treasury at will seems like a grave offense. Although there’s nothing valuable on the first floor of the Treasury, if the Sect thoroughly investigates, Elder, you might find yourself in deep trouble.”

Lin Xiao and the others looked back, only to see the Disciples who had just been stopped by the Treasury Elder now arguing with sarcasm and veiled accusations.

Their words were filled with disrespect for the Treasury Elder, as if their earlier obsequious demeanor had been entirely a pretense.

However, no sooner had they finished speaking than they were immediately suppressed by the Treasury Elder.

”Hmph, you brats, if you want to spread rumors, go do it elsewhere. Don’t disturb this old man’s rest here.”

”This old man has guarded the Sect Treasury for nearly a thousand years. I can honestly say I’ve never done anything to betray the Sect, so say whatever you like,” the Treasury Elder sneered.

With a press of his Aura, those sarcastic Core Disciples immediately cried out in pain.

”Ouch, ouch, ouch! You old geezer, you did it, and now you’re afraid of others talking about it?”

”Exactly, exactly! Abusing power for personal gain, bullying others with strength. After living for thousands of years, that’s all you amount to.”

”Hmph, old geezer, I’m telling you, we are Senior Brother Yu’s people. If you hurt us, Senior Brother Yu will definitely not let you off.”

”That’s right, our Senior Brother Yu is Great Sage Gui Luo’s personal Disciple, and you’re just an ordinary Elder. If you hurt us, Senior Brother Yu will definitely make you regret it!” those Core Disciples shouted in pain.

They glared at the Treasury Elder with hateful eyes, as if they felt they had him by the short hairs.

”What?! These people are actually under Yu Yuntian, that bastard!”

Although their words were meant as a threat, they sounded different to Lin Xiao and the others. Lu Ming, especially, was the first to roar in anger.

However, his anger had just flared up when it was immediately suppressed by Lin Xiao’s Purification spell.

”Haha, are these people Yu Yuntian’s?” Lin Xiao said with a smile.

No sooner had he spoken than a clear notification sound quickly rang out in his mind.

”Ding, detecting the current situation the Host is facing, two choices are now given to the Host!”

”Choice One: Core Disciples insult an Elder. When you see injustice, shout out! When it’s time to act, act! Reward: Heaven-Defying Physique: Supreme Buddha Heart!”

”Choice Two: Ignore this matter and directly enter the Sect Treasury. Reward: Supreme Physique: Misfortune Divine Body!”

”What the heck is a Misfortune Divine Body?!”

Lin Xiao grumbled, looking at the System’s rewards.

Then, without thinking, he immediately made his choice in his mind: ”System, I choose one.”

As his voice fell, the System’s clear voice rang out in his mind again.

”Ding, congratulations to the Host for successful selection! Reward: Heaven-Defying Physique: Supreme Buddha Heart, has been automatically placed in your System inventory!”

As the System’s voice faded, Lin Xiao quickly found a golden, Sanskrit-covered heart in his System inventory.

”Hiss, it really is a good thing, but unfortunately, it’s not suitable for me,” Lin Xiao said indifferently, feeling the Aura emanating from the heart.

He then said nothing more and walked directly towards where those Core Disciples were.

”Hmph, you brat, what do you want? Don’t tell me you want to plead for this old geezer,” those Core Disciples snorted immediately when they saw Lin Xiao approaching.

Although they couldn’t discern Lin Xiao’s cultivation, it didn’t stop them from spewing vulgarities.

”Young friend, this doesn’t concern you. You three should enter the Sect Treasury first. Even if the sky falls, this old man will hold it up,” the Treasury Elder said with some concern when he saw Lin Xiao approaching.

Because in his opinion, Lin Xiao was merely a young Disciple who was lucky enough to possess the Heavenly Hegemon Body and was taken as a Disciple by the Heavenly Saint King.

If Lin Xiao were to fight these Core Disciples, he might not gain any advantage.

As for why he thought so, it was simply because he had never seen Lin Xiao before, so he mistook Lin Xiao for an unknown junior Disciple recently taken in by the Heavenly Saint King.

”Hmph, you old geezer still want to protect others? You can’t even protect yourself right now, so worry about yourself first,” those Core Disciples sneered when they saw this scene.

Because they had just used the name of Yu Yuntian’s Master to make the Treasury Elder let them go, they had already started to get arrogant.

After all, if the Treasury Elder had nothing to hide and hadn’t done anything against the rules, why would he choose to let them go?

”Hmph, this old man is giving Great Sage Gui Luo some Face by letting you go. You brats shouldn’t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit,” the Treasury Elder frowned, seeing that these people were still blabbering.

The reason he had let these people go earlier was simply because he didn’t want to provoke Great Sage Gui Luo, that great Buddha, and cause unnecessary trouble.

But even so, if these Core Disciples continued to refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, he wouldn’t mind teaching them a good lesson.

”Haha, although This Lin is not strong, I can still handle these little rascals.”

Lin Xiao laughed after hearing the Treasury Elder’s words, naturally understanding what he meant.

Wasn’t it just that he was afraid he was too weak and didn’t want him to provoke these people?

But unfortunately, Lin Xiao was not the kind of person who was soft on the strong and hard on the weak.

It’s just a Great Sage Gui Luo, just go for it, what’s there to be afraid of?
