#1222 - Chapter 1222 No Need to Take Out Your Anger on Ye Kong

At this moment, Long Hui realized that he had provoked someone he absolutely shouldn't have.

Pain swept through his body, and he estimated that his internal organs were injured. He had consumed too much spiritual energy, and he couldn't even use basic protective spells, so he could only endure it.

Ye Kong knew that his protective spells were ineffective, and he still exerted force inward, but without breaking through the spiritual energy barrier, making it difficult for him to exert his power.

Originally, people thought it would be an evenly matched contest, but it turned out to be a complete one-sided crushing by Ye Kong.

It was truly shocking!

The people below were stunned. After a long while, hushed discussions finally arose.

"This Long Hui was still proudly reserving a spot as an alternate elder. Now, Ye Kong has completely shattered his daydream!" A disciple from the Taichu Academy sneered.

"Exactly! When Ye Kong wasn't around, he could still be smug for a while. But with Ye Kong back, he's revealed his true colors. He should go wherever it's cool and stay there." People from other sects also joined in on the fun.

"Now it seems that this elder position undoubtedly belongs to Ye Kong."

"Why bother going to so much trouble? Just let Ye Kong take over as the 'Di' character elder. Anyone who disagrees can fight Ye Kong. There's no need for such an elaborate process, letting some people think they have a chance." As soon as these words were spoken, there was a chorus of agreement from below the stage.

Today's competition ended, and unsurprisingly, Ye Kong was ranked first. Tomorrow, he could directly battle the twelve elders, and if he won, Ye Kong could naturally take the position of 'Di' character elder.

"Don't speak too soon. It's still unknown whether Ye Kong can defeat the twelve elders." A disciple under Elder Chun said dismissively as he followed Elder Chun away.

After saying these words, Elder Chun also glanced at the crowd.

"Why does it feel like Elder Chun doesn't like Ye Kong very much?" Someone asked.

"Of course not. Elder Chun is a supporter of Lin Xing. If you were him, would you like someone who defeated your disciple?"

Ye Kong returned to his residence and finally turned around to look at the person who had been following him all the way. "If you have something to say, say it directly. There's no need to keep following me."

"I..." Shengge didn't know how to explain. But she could sense that Ye Kong wasn't such an irritable person. It was probably because she had made eye contact with Long Hui before the competition.

Could it be that Ye Kong... Shengge couldn't help but let her imagination run wild, feeling that some things had to be clarified with Ye Kong. But after following Ye Kong all the way, she couldn't say a single word.

Now, being questioned by Ye Kong with an unkind tone, Shengge felt inexplicably wronged, and tears were already welling up in her eyes.

After Ye Kong finished speaking, he saw Shengge's tears falling like pearls.

Ye Kong immediately went over and asked anxiously, "You, what's wrong? I didn't mean to blame you."

"It's my fault, I'm sorry." After Shengge said this, she wanted to run away.

Ye Kong pulled her back with force.

Shengge lost her balance and fell into Ye Kong's arms. Ye Kong held her tightly, their eyes met, and the air froze for a moment.

It was as if it was the first time they were so close, close enough to hear each other's heartbeats.

Thump thump thump...

Her heart beat faster. Shengge's tears stopped falling, and a hint of blush appeared on her face.

The Anti-Romance Alliance saw this and immediately scolded, "Hey, what are you two doing?"

The shout woke them up. Ye Kong immediately helped Shengge up, saying somewhat stammeringly, "No, it's nothing."

"It's you again?" This staff member was the same one who had caught Ye Kong and Shen Fan Shuang the other day. This time, to avoid a wrongful arrest, he asked a few questions first. He saw that it was actually a familiar face.

The staff member reprimanded Ye Kong unhappily, "Today it's this disciple, tomorrow it's that disciple. You're fickle and disloyal. You're really going too far."

"No, it's really not like that." Ye Kong raised his head and saw that Sima Shizun and other elders were coming over. "Otherwise, you can ask the other elders and see what kind of relationship I have with this female disciple."

The staff member glanced at the elders and didn't dare to ask, running away quickly.

Ye Kong breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he looked at Shengge, who also took the opportunity to run away.

"Really!" Ye Kong was puzzled. Why were so many people so fond of hanging around him lately?

Just as he turned around, someone called him from behind again.

Ye Kong turned around. Zhang Tie was coming over, holding a new booklet in his hand, saying, "Why aren't you going back? What are you standing at the door for?"

"Wasn't I waiting for you?" Ye Kong said, turning around and walking inside.

Zhang Tie followed behind him. "By the way, aren't you curious about what I'm holding in my hand?"

"What else could it be? It's just the information about the elders you'll be competing with tomorrow. I've already read most of it in the Taichu Academy's archive room, so I have some understanding." Ye Kong didn't care about what Zhang Tie was holding.

Moreover, in the back mountain, when Ye Kong and the twelve elders jointly sealed the Taowu, when Ye Kong's spiritual energy clashed with the twelve elders, the two forces wandered between heaven and earth, and Ye Kong had a general understanding of them.

"That's different. This information is the latest, and it's for you specifically. Are you sure you don't want it?" Zhang Tie shook it.

As soon as he heard 'specifically', Ye Kong became interested. "Since you brought it over, then give it to me."

"Here you go." Zhang Tie handed over the information.

Ye Kong opened it directly and saw the familiar handwriting. It was his master!

Each stroke was written by Elder Wang. There were a total of one hundred pages, a labor of love.

"But why didn't Master come to deliver it himself?" Ye Kong asked.

"I don't know." Zhang Tie prepared to go back after delivering it. "I also ran into Elder Wang on the road. He told me to deliver it to you. I was also very curious."

Upon hearing this, Ye Kong instantly understood Elder Wang's intention.

Tomorrow, he would definitely fight with all his strength.

As the most popular candidate in this 'Di' character elder competition, the contest between Ye Kong and the twelve elders was the most anticipated.

Early in the morning, the disciples from other sects who had come to watch had already surrounded the entrance of the Taichu Academy, and they had even prepared cheering sticks and banners with Ye Kong's name on them.

Such a scene was rare in the Taichu Academy, the number one sect in the world. This trend, known as 'Ye Kong Fever', had been growing from before the competition to during the competition.

The twelve elders, seeing this, were quite dissatisfied with Ye Kong's arrogant momentum.

"This Ye Kong shouldn't have been allowed to participate. Listen to the noise outside. It's estimated that even the position of sect leader will be given to this Ye Kong!" Elder Chun was especially dissatisfied.

"Listen carefully. This is other people supporting Ye Kong. What does it have to do with Ye Kong himself? It's not necessary to vent your anger on Ye Kong."
