Chapter 20: Y-You want me to pay respects to this brother Chen?
"Wang Ashen, come with us to pay respects to senior Brother Chen!"
Ashen's attention was grabbed by this shout as he went outside to see who it was. He opened the gate of his house, finding two disciples dressed in the inner disciple's uniforms.
They were older than him, Appearing to be in their late twenties. One was a tall, lean man with long brown hair and brown eyes while the other was a chubby, short man with black hair.
They stood straight with a proud look and folded hands, staring at Ashen.
Ashen, not recognizing them, asked in a polite tone: "May I know who are you two fellow disciples?"
In response to his question, The tall man stepped up as he introduced himself and his companion in a loud and proud voice:
"My name is Ren li and he is Mo Qi. We are both inner disciples who are ranked in the top 50's of the sect rankings and Nascent Soul realm cultivators."
Ashen nodded as he listened to their introductions.
After Ren Li was finished, Ashen raised his eyebrows, standing with folded hands as he asked in a plain but polite tone: "And Why are you two esteemed disciples here?"
He didn't understand the purpose of their visit. It hadn't been long since he joined the sect and he hadn't really conversed with anyone, therefore, he couldn't think of a reason for these inner disciples seeking him out.
This time, Mo Qi stepped up with a proud expression, answering Ashen's question in a haughty tone: "You are new in the sect and have no one to guide you, therefore, Senior Brother Chen has decided to take you under his care. It is your good fortune and you should come with us to pay respects to him."
This was a different way of asking Ashen to be 'this' Senior Brother Chen's underling. By sending these cultivators who were a realm higher than Ashen, 'This' brother Chen displayed his power and intentions.
If he had good intentions, he would've come here on his own, however, he sent his underlings to fetch Ashen and force him to pay his respects.
Ashen's eyebrows twitched in annoyance and anger as he heard those words. These disciples wants him to pay respects to some random Disciple who was full of himself.
He had never been asked to do something like this in his previous life. He had always been above people and it would be others who will come and pay respect to him.
His voice turned cold as he asked with a forced smile: "Y-You want me to pay respects to this brother Chen?"
Mo Qi nodded with a confident look as he reminded: "Say his name with respect, He is a core disciple who is ranked first in the sect among the junior disciples."
Ashen's eyebrow twitched in anger, his forced smile disappearing as he answered in a cold voice: "Alright!"
Mo Chen's house, Phoenix Feather Sect,
Mo Chen was the young master of the Mo family.
He was handsome with black long hair, sunset purple eyes and a muscular, tall physique. He tied a white bandana on his forehead which would slide under his long hair. His hair was tied into a ponytail.
Mo Family, a top family in the southern region of the empire with a lot of influence, having multiple powerful cultivators with Mo Chen's grandfather leading the family as a King realm cultivator.
Mo Family was a direct rival of the Bi family, however, was stronger in terms of strength but lost in terms of money.
Mo Chen liked Bi Veli and wanted to marry her to gain some control over the Bi family.
Right now, he sat on a comfortable chair in the hall of his magnificent house. On both of his sides were lines of chairs where multiple disciples sat while praising him.
These were all his underlings who were either afraid of him or his family. Most of them were inner disciples while some were core disciples.
On the adjacent sides of his chair were two chairs on which sat two beautiful women. They both were core disciples, however, accompanied Mo Chen due to his family's influence.
Without any family backing them, they could just listen to his commands, however, they were safe from his dirty hands as the sect would protect them if Mo Chen attempted to cross the line.
Mo Chen found them beautiful and decided to force them to accompany him, hoping that they would fall in love with him after spending some time together.
"Hahaha, Senior Brother Chen, It was a good decision to call that new disciple to pay his respects to you. I heard he is from a small village and has no one backing him" an inner disciple laughed out loud, Praising Mo Chen for his decision.
Seeing him praise, another inner Disciple who sat in front of him also added: "Yes, Senior Brother Chen, Now is the right time to make him your subordinate. With his 8-star spirit, He would become strong really fast, then there would be no way to control him. Your wits really amaze me"
Everyone present nodded with a smile at his reasoning. From their Point of View, Ashen was a talented, newly joined disciple with no powerful backing other than the Sect Leader, however, she wouldn't interfere unless Ashen requested it.
Ashen had learned no skills and was a new cultivator, thus, making him an easy target to control and suppress.
Another underling, not wanting to be left behind, praised in his loud voice: "Senior Brother Chen, Sending Ren Li and Mo Qi was a good idea, they are ranked in the top 50s and are strong Nascent Soul realm Cultivators. They will be able to easily drag that Wang Ashen here, even if he declined your polite offer."
Multiple praises followed as Mo Chen smiled, listening to them while gazing at the beauties from the corner of his eyes, however, they had an unfazed expression throughout.
Mo Chen, raising his hand, stopped all the disciples who were buttering him up while showering him with praises.
He opened his mouth before speaking calmly with a loud voice: "Thank you for your praises and I am pleased that you found my decision correct. I heard that this Wang Ashen's spirit gave rise to visions and phenomena, therefore, I wanted him under me. Only, I, Mo Chen, Deserve to have such talented people serve me."
However, soon, his calm demeanor broke as he gritted his teeth in anger upon remembering some unpleasant memory.
With anger filled voice and clenched fist, he muttered: "I just hope he is not lucky like that Han Yujin. I will kill that bastard if it wasn't for that bitch Bi Shiyue. Why can't she be like her sister?"
He had tried the same thing with Han Yujin, however, when his underling was taking him to Mo Chen, Bi Shiyue appeared with Bi Veli and saved him.
Shiyue also warned Mo Chen to not touch Yujin. It was because of her that he couldn't do anything to Yujin.
He had seen how Yujin would attempt to flirt with Bi Veli and that would just make him hate him more.
He liked Veli, however, couldn't do anything while another man got close to her.
Seeing his anger, his underling attempted to appease him: "Don't worry Senior Brother Chen, He wouldn't be so lucky and even if Bi Shiyue appeared, Can she possibly defeat Ren Li and Mo Qi at the same time?"
"Indeed, Senior Brother Chen, It was just that you sent only one nascent soul disciple to fetch Han Yujin, this was the reason that Bi Shiyue could save him, however, now, even she would be helpless-"
BOOM!
Just as this disciple finished his sentence, A loud explosion reverberated as Mo Chen's house started to shake.
"What was That?" Mo Chen shouted as he asked with eyes enlarged wide in shock, and,
BOOM!
Another explosion echoed as the doors of the hall in which they were sitting broke apart, flying towards Mo Chen.
It seemed as if the door had been bombarded by a rhino.
Mo Chen jumped, standing straight as he dodged the doors flying at him. Dirt flew around as a result of the explosion.
Mo Chen fixed his gaze towards the entrance to see the reason for this chaos.
Step... Step... Step...
Loud steps resounded across the hall as everyone's gaze turned towards the entrance of the hall.
Soon, a figure appeared inside the flying dirt, standing at the entrance, dragging two persons with his hands.
Shortly, the Dirt settled down as the man was revealed. He had raven black hair and blood-red eyes.
In each of his hands were Ren Li and Mo Qi, Beaten to a pulp with their hands, legs and fingers, rotated to an angle which seemed impossible.
Their clothes were covered in their own blood as they lay unconscious with their faces unrecognizable.
Mo Chen along with everyone had their eyes widened in shock as they witnessed this scene.
Some Disciples recognized this man as they took steps backward in terror, muttering in fear and shock: "W-Wang A-Ashen!"
