Chapter 21: Meeting first cannon fodder

"Seventh Peak is so big, I wonder where a good place for cultivating is." Ye Tian Yun walked up the peak for some time, and all the way he saw many sunken gorges on the mountain, but he wasn't really interested in these gorges.

There was practically no light within these gorges, and they could be said to be incomplete darkness within….

Unknowingly, Ye Tian Yun noticed that he'd already arrived at the peak of Seventh peak.

There was no railing to hold on to at the peak, and with a single mistake, one might fall down the bottomless chasm and be shattered until nothing remains of one's self….

Standing on the peak, what entered his eyes was boundless clouds and mist, and his line of sight was completely obstructed.

"Looks like it isn't an easy matter to find a suitable place of cultivation….So cold." Ye Tian Yun could feel the cold wind that came at him from the front. It blew on him to the point that his body felt slightly cold, and he couldn't help but tighten his clothes.

"I'll go down and take a look. The place that chain bridge connects to is already near the peak of the mountain….There should be more choices below." On his way up here, Ye Tian Yun had noticed some gorges that although were habitable, there were no people within. Obviously, those gorges were places that were rejected by everyone.

However, all his efforts turned futile. He had to come back down and now, his only choice was to snatch cultivation locations from others.

He had stopped himself from earlier because he wanted to try other ways first. If he showed off his cultivation, he would attract unwanted attention. And his other choice was to find a location with lower Qi concentration, however, it won't do him any good in his upcoming future plans.

'I should just move among the disciples for a bit. Fang Chen had always been an arrogant brat, he must have at least offended someone.' Ye Tian Yun thought as he made his way down.

What he wanted to find right now was cannon fodder. This will give him a chance to establish himself in the sect and all let him reveal himself a bit. Though this will indeed attract some unwanted eyes on him, he couldn't think of anything else right now.

The sun had begun to set on the western horizon.

As Ye Tian Yun gazed at the glimmer of dusk on the horizon, he took a deep breath to get himself ready for the upcoming drama.

As soon as he finished his thoughts, he walked quickly down the Seventh Peak.

"Look! Isn't that the most arrogant outer Court Disciple Fang Chen?"

"So, it's him. I really can't think on what basis is he so arrogant? His family background? But I don't think it would be helpful here, in the sect."

"What a waste of such a handsome little fellow! He looks to be only around 15 or 16 years old now. Unfortunately, he turned out to be so arrogant. Even I am perplexed by his thoughts."

"I heard that an Outer Court Elder recruited him a few years back as an Inner Court Disciple at Xin Royal Capital city, yet who would have known that he would suffer Qi deviation last year and Fang Clan would have to spend a lot of their resources just to get him in here.

Supposedly, he's one of the very few Outer Court Disciple in the history of the Gracious Sword Sect who was allowed to have a back entry. I wonder if his arrogance comes from this fact?

"Well, others call him Gracious Sword Sects greatest arrogant piece of trash. Tsk tsk, this reputation of his is truly resounding!"

Ye Tian Yun's footsteps stopped for a second before resuming on his way upon hearing the voice of discussion in the surroundings, he thought, 'Fang Chen guy was also a troublesome fellow. If only he had kept some low profile, I wouldn't have to hear these idiots.'

Halfway through, he met his first cannon fodder of the Gracious Sword Sect. He heard a shout from behind, "Oh, isn't that our most arrogant piece of trash in history? Oh, right, it's our Great Outer Court Disciple, Fang Chen."

"Our Outer Court Disciple really found his way back to the sect huh? Have you had a breakthrough or something? And where are your guards? Not here to save your as* I see, Haha…." Right at this moment, a sound of laughter that carried ridicule sounded out from the side.

When he heard this ridiculing voice, Ye Tian Yun turned around to look at the three people that stood at the right. These three people also had brown robes, indicating their status of Outer Court Disciple. Ye Tian Yun had an emotionless expression as he gazed at their teasing looks, and his emotions couldn't be discerned.

He stared at these three people who had now reached in front of him as if they were gonna perform a monkey show in front of him. He didn't know who they were and what enmity they had with Fang Chen, however, now that chicken has presented itself in front of him, he wouldn't let the meat go to waste.

With an arrogant look on his face, he said, "Am I supposed to know you? Don't you know one should mind his own matters? Stop creating a show and go back to whatever hole you popped up from!"

"Hmph, don't act as if you don't know me! I am Du Xiu, and you should know who my uncle is. I am not afraid of your Fang Clan. My uncle is the Manager Xu of the Resource Hall. And his son, my cousin, is an Inner Court Disciple!"
