Chapter 140 - Two Pathetic Elders
Elder Pan Cheng twitched his mouth at the gloating words of Elder Jing.
'Offering… more like an exorbitant,' Elder Pan Cheng cursed inwardly as he closed his eyes to rest.
What the eyes don't see, the heart doesn't feel.
Elder Pan Cheng would rather pretend that he didn't have to offer a lot of valuables to Elder Jing in exchange for staying in the cave.
Meanwhile, Elder Jing smiled happily in achieving wealth the other way after getting evicted from the pagoda.
'Heh, so what if you are eligible to stay in the Pagoda? What matters the most is who gets to obtain the treasure in the end?' Elder Jing exclaimed inwardly.
Afterward, she glanced at Elder Pao Huang and said, "You can arrange for them to stay in whatever space available as long as it doesn't bother our own disciples."
Elder Jing then walked away as she had no interest in caring about them anymore.
Elder Pao Huang smiled bitterly as he nodded his head on this difficult task.
After all, despite the condition of these two elders, they were still renowned cultivators in the outside world so he must make sure they don't get offended much after being extorted by Elder Jing.
Thus, Elder Pao Huang cleared his throat slightly before arranging them in a suitable area while enquiring for information of what's happening outside.
"What? You guys encountered a demon and managed to run away?" Elder Pao Huang shouted in disbelief.
Elder Fang Yunru and Elder Pan Cheng were shocked by his sudden outburst.
They were fine with Elder Jing being ruthless to them since her strength was equal; if not, she was above them but Elder Pao Haung was different.
Elder Pao Huang's strength was significantly lower than theirs by a large margin and despite them being in a terrible condition, Elder Pao Huang was nothing in front of them.
Hence, Elder Pan Cheng got angry by his disrespectful tone and shouted, "We encountered the demon and fled so what's your deal, mere elder."
Elder Pao Huang ignored his furious tone and held a solemn expression as he glared at them.
"Did you escape the demon without concealing your aura?" Elder Pao Huang narrowed his eyes as he asked.
Elder Pan Cheng who was about to teach Elder Pao Huang a lesson, flinched as he was surprised by his sudden question.
Afterward, Elder Pan Cheng calmed himself while recalling their escape from the demon.
His expression soon paled as he remembered that he had not concealed his aura at all since his mind was in a panicked mode.
Elder Fang Yunru was also speechless as he recalled his mistake that no one from their level should commit.
Meanwhile, Elder Pao Huang was furious because he had gotten his answers based on the reaction from Elder Fang Yunru and Elder Pan Cheng.
'Hmph, two prestige sect elders from the top 2 sects are only at this level.' Elder Pao Huang cursed inwardly as he quickly left the area without glancing at them any further.
He was afraid he might be unable to hold himself from going berserk at them because their location could now be in danger.
'Demons are known for their great sense in smelling and without concealing your damn aura, they can follow your track completely to our cave,' Elder Pao Huang exclaimed inwardly as he clenched his fist in anger.
"Where's Elder Jing?" Elder Pao Huang asked a nearby disciple that was focusing on some task as he needed to find her quickly to relay this important information.
The disciple was frightened by Elder Pao Huang's fierce expression as he kept stuttering without giving him a clear answer.
Elder Pao Huang became more irritated by his disciple and shouted, "Answer me. Where did Elder Jing go?"
Elder Pao Huang started emitting a murderous aura as the disciple quickly swallowed nervously before pointing his finger in a direction because he couldn't produce any sound from his mouth for being frightened.
Elder Pao Huang scoffed as he quickly rushed over to the direction that the disciple pointed in.
Sometime later, Elder Pao Huang halted his movement when he realized Elder Jing came back from outside.
"E-Elder Jing, y-you went outside the cave?" Elder Pao Huang asked.
"Mhmm, why are you in such a hurry for Elder Pao Huang? Did you finish the arrangement for those two pathetic sect elders already?" Elder Jing was surprised that Elder Pao Huang has high efficiency in this kind of task.
Elder Pao Huang was in a daze for a while before snapping out of it.
Afterward, he hurriedly relayed the information he just found out from Elder Fang Yunru and Elder Pan Cheng about how they came to their cave without concealing their aura at all.
"We must hurry up and leave the cave now otherwise, we are going to be surrounded by demons in a matter of time," Elder Pao Huang said in a panic as he turned around and tried to move away to pack their belongings.
However, he stopped when he noticed Elder Jing remained standing and had no intention of moving.
"E-Elder Jing? We don't have much time to waste." Elder Pao Huang said and tried to urge Elder Jing to hurry her pace.
Elder Jing chuckled softly.
"Relax Elder Pao Huang. Did you think I was taking a stroll while leaving you with the hard work?"
"Weren't you-"
Elder Pao Huang suddenly stopped his next word when he felt Elder Jing's threatened gaze, the same one he used previously on the disciple when he was asking for direction.
Only this time, the role has changed and he has become the cowardly-like disciple, afraid of the person in front of him.
Elder Jing nodded her head when she saw the submissive behavior of Elder Pao Huang.
Afterward, she slowly walked back inside and said, "I already noticed the two pathetic elders' condition to notice they would definitely commit a newbie mistake. Hence, I have left early to get rid of the aura and scattered some more concealing Pills for at least 50km."
