Chapter 97: Sato Washii
Zuobian Shenteng’s mouth twitched fiercely at the discussions from the people he brought with him.
That old face, which cared about dignity, turned from red to green, then from green to white.
Seeing that the fight hadn’t even begun, and his own side had already descended into chaos.
So he didn’t want to get entangled any further, fearing that more vicious words might emerge from the mouths of the people he brought, thus affecting morale.
With a wave of his hand, he directly commanded them to attack.
“Take them down for me!”
Seeing this, although I, big brother, had doubts, I couldn’t think too much about it. The two groups of people instantly plunged into a melee.
However, this time, it was very different from what I had expected.
I originally thought that this old scoundrel had found helpers, and it wouldn’t be considered a never-ending fight unless we were locked in a battle to the death.
Who knew that the buddy who fought with me quietly started talking to me;
“Hey buddy, let’s just go through the motions, you know, don’t try to kill me!”
Hearing this, it completely stunned me, big brother! What the hell is going on?
So I couldn’t help but ask, “What do you mean, buddy? Aren’t you here to fight me?”
“Ahem, stop talking nonsense. This hospital director, this old scoundrel, is worthless. He thinks two bean buns are enough for food. If it weren’t for his family’s connections, how could he become a hospital director with his caliber?
Besides, this old bastard has become quite something. It’s not just me saying it, but guess how he called us over?”
“How?”
“This bastard actually said that after we graduate, jobs would be guaranteed, and we’d all get into the Heavenly Realm patrol team, holding a stable job. Damn it, he really fooled us. See those people over there?”
As he spoke, he gestured for me to look at the others.
“Those few are still students. Before they were called out, they were told they were coming out for an internship. What the hell is an internship? To put it bluntly, it’s working for free! I graduated long ago and have been at home for eight years. My grandma, damn it, there are no guaranteed jobs! This bastard needed my help, so he sent my mom a spiritual power text message saying there was an entry training for the Heavenly Realm patrol team, with meals provided, and even if you weren’t selected, you’d still get a few hundred spirit stones as compensation. It wasn’t for nothing. My mom saw me at home doing nothing and was always anxious about my job. When she heard about this good deal, she agreed on the spot.
I’m not saying this about other buddies, but isn’t this just pure fooling a big fool? Whether we get selected or not, let’s not talk about it, but for a few hundred spirit stones, why the hell would I risk my life?”
Hearing this,
Well, I originally thought this guy was trying to fool me, but looking at the others, wasn’t it true? Xiong Shan was fighting five or six people as if it were a game.
Let alone others, even a little ghost like Xiao Er, who barely has any magical power, was being ganged up on by two people and could still handle it with ease. This is pure nonsense, right? Ahem.
At this moment,
The entire scene was peaceful, with no deaths or injuries from fighting, not even a single piece of clothing was torn. Any discerning eye could clearly see something was amiss.
Among everyone, the most serious one was that old scoundrel Zuobian Shenteng. He was chasing after Younger Sister Ming Yue’s backside, his eyes glowing green, and drool was about to fall to the ground.
If you didn’t know they were fighting, you’d think it was an old scoundrel acting like a thug.
Just as I was lost in my own thoughts, the old scoundrel grabbed Younger Sister Ming Yue, set up a prohibition, and sealed off all of Ming Yue’s magical power.
Then he laughed loudly, threatening us;
“Hahaha! All of you, stop fighting!”
Everyone looked at him at the sound and stopped what they were doing.
Most of the people from the academy showed expressions of disgust and disdain.
On our side, everyone was excited and full of anger.
Little Bodhisattva glared with eyes that seemed ready to devour someone and cursed loudly, “You damned old bastard! Let go of Younger Sister Ming Yue, and if you have the guts, come at me!”
“Let her go! Otherwise, I’ll swallow you whole!” Xiong Shan also cursed.
Xi Ba, Mi Shen Tu, and Bi Lan didn’t speak, but they were ready to rush forward and save Ming Yue at any moment.
I, big brother, stood opposite Zuobian Shenteng, my expression calm as an ancient well, and said softly;
“Let her go, and then leave. I can let this matter pass. If you dare to harm her in the slightest, don’t even think about being the hospital director of the cultivation academy. Even if you were the Jade Emperor himself, believe me, I will absolutely drag you from the Heavenly Realm to the Eighteen Layers of Hell, to suffer eternal torment of being fried and boiled, making you wish you were never born!”
After hearing my words, Zuobian Shenteng’s old face was full of disdain. Holding the hostage in his hand, he saw that I still dared to threaten him and revealed a sinister, yin-yang-like smile, mocking me;
“Jie jie jie, kid, why don’t you take a piss and look at yourself? Just you?
Let alone a mortal cultivator like you, even if you count everyone in the entire Heavenly Realm, all the gods and Buddhas, how many dare to touch me?
Hahaha, to tell you the truth! The reason why I was able to become the hospital director of the cultivation academy is not because my strength is great or my virtue is noble. Heh, it’s because my family is one of the four great families of the Heavenly Realm, the Satō Washii clan.”
“What? Did I hear that right? Our principal is actually from the Satō Washii clan?”
“No wonder, no wonder he could become the principal with such low strength!”
“So that’s how it is. I heard that the Satō Washii clan is among the top three of the four great families in our Heavenly Realm. There are no less than a hundred top powerhouses within the clan alone. It is even rumored that their clan leader has reached the realm of a half-step Saint, and even the Jade Emperor and the Buddha Tathagata would have to show some deference when meeting the leader of the Satō Washii clan.”
“No wonder, no wonder.”
After hearing Zuobian Shenteng’s words, the students of the cultivation academy began to discuss amongst themselves. Some were shocked, but at the same time, there were those whose faces were still tightly furrowed with expressions of disdain.
Unlike them, our side had only recently come from the lower realm, so hearing this, they didn’t feel anything was amiss and remained indignant and unmoved.
At this time, Little Tiger and Xiao Er, sweating profusely with anxiety, ran towards me.
Little Tiger said, “Mas- Master, we can’t afford to offend this person! You’ve only been in the Heavenly Realm for a short time, so you don’t know.
The Satō Washii clan is the second largest family in the Heavenly Realm, with countless strong individuals, and they act arrogantly and domineeringly. They once invaded other clans over resources with a mere excuse, enslaved their people, and didn’t treat people from other families as humans. For the sake of researching how to give their ordinary members cultivation talent, they cruelly used people from other families for live experiments. Regardless of old or young, men or women, in their eyes, everyone was just an animal, or even wood. They bully and insult with the perspective of being above all else. Master, let alone just a few of us, even families of equal status would not easily dare to oppose them!”
“Yes, Boss. This, this Xiao Er, I’ve also heard of it. The people of the Satō Washii clan like to bully the weak. When they encounter someone stronger, they will bow down and submit, then slowly erode them, and finally seize power and usurp the throne. It is said that this family was originally very, very weak and was preserved by paying tribute to powerful families. However, after gaining some strength, they slaughtered the families that protected them, thus leaping to become one of the great families in the Heavenly Realm.”
After hearing Little Tiger and Xiao Er’s words, my resolve to save Younger Sister Ming Yue did not waver in the slightest. I snorted;
“Hmph! A treacherous and ungrateful clan, why should I fear them?”
