Chapter 239: The Eccentric Gatekeeper
Can’t enter?
Qin Feng widened his eyes. If he couldn’t enter the sect, how would he find his wife?
Anxiously, he immediately stepped forward. “Gentlemen, please make an exception. There are people I know in the sect, and we’ve come here to find a family.”
“Looking for a family?” A slightly chubby male disciple on the right looked over.
“Well, you tell us, who are you searching for?”
“To be honest with you, I’m searching for my family, my wife, Liu Jianli.”
As soon as these words came out, silence fell over the entrance. Only the sound of the mountain wind brushing through could be heard.
After a moment, the tall and thin man on the left let out a breath. “Senior brother, I seemed to have hallucinated just now. This guy actually said that Senior Sister Jianli is his wife.”
The chubby disciple replied, “Junior brother, you didn’t mishear. I heard him say that too.”
“Heh.”
“Heh.”
Two mocking laughs sounded simultaneously. The tall and thin man’s face darkened. “You brat, do you know what kind of existence Senior Sister Jianli is to our Myriad Sword Sect? How dare you speak disrespectfully of her here?!”
The chubby disciple picked up his sword sheath and lightly ran his fingers over the patterns on it. “Get out of here quickly before I completely lose control, otherwise, you will have to leave something behind.”
These two don’t believe what I said… Qin Feng’s face stiffened, and he looked towards Black Charcoal Head.
Xing Sheng stepped forward. “I am the Vanguard Deputy Commander of the Divine Marquis Army and also the guard of the Liu family. I can testify that he is indeed my young lady’s husband. I would also like to ask you two to enter the sect and report, I would be grateful.”
“Divine Marquis Army?”
“Liu family guard?”
The two gatekeeping disciples looked at each other in surprise and disbelief.
Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, thinking they believed him.
Little did he know, the chubby disciple spat and said, “Bah, you think you can establish a relationship with Sister Jianli by bringing a few more people to act? You said you are a guard of the Liu family, are you Senior Sister Jianli’s father?”
Qin Jian’an looked at the chubby disciple, scratched his cheek, and said, “In a sense, you can indeed say that.”
The chubby disciple was stunned, then burst into laughter and said to the old man, “Alright, alright, so then you’re Senior Sister Jianli’s Grandpa?”
Seeing that the two still didn’t believe, Qin Feng was about to continue explaining but was directly interrupted by the chubby disciple: “Stop talking. I feel ashamed for you. To achieve your goal, you went so far as to find someone to play the family of Senior Sister Jianli. This old man is so old; doesn’t your conscience ache for making him climb Sword Peak?”
The old man Bai Li raised his eyebrows at these words.
This old man is probably tougher than you… Qin Feng sighed and said, “Brother, arguing about the authenticity here is meaningless. Why don’t you find your senior sister Jianli? At that time, the truth will be revealed.”
The chubby disciple spat and said, “My junior and I have guarded the sect for three years. We’ve seen so many schemers like you who will do anything to see Senior Sister Jianli. Before I lose control completely, you better disappear in front of me, or this sword in my hand may have to taste blood!”
“Exactly.” said the tall and thin junior disciple, drawing his sword with a clang.
Golden light flashed in Qin Feng’s eyes. He glanced at the two disciples guarding the door, judging from the concentration of their internal energy, at most, they were two seventh-grade martial artists. Yet, they dared to be so aggressive…
Well, they were just disciples guarding the sect. How high could their cultivation be?
Black Charcoal Head frowned and said, “Master, do you want me to teach them a lesson?”
“Teach us a lesson?” The chubby disciple widened his eyes.
“You? Just relying on you?” sneered the thin junior disciple.
“No need. We are guests, and we should follow proper etiquette.” Qin Feng shook his head and continued, “With my wife, there is also her sword attendant, a young lady named Ningshuang. Since you doubt me, why not call Ningshuang over? She will explain everything for me.”
At these words, the chubby disciple stared with wide eyes, “Alright, the wolf’s ambition is revealed. You know that Senior Sister Jianli isn’t interested in you, so you settle for second best, trying to pursue her sword attendant!”
“Senior brother, what do you mean by settling for second best? I think Miss Ningshuang is quite good.” The tall and thin disciple blushed.
Are these two out of their minds? Qin Feng took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and said slowly, “In that case, your sect leader has another direct disciple named Bai Qiu.”
“She recognizes me, so you could ask her.”
“Senior brother, it turns out he’s interested in your senior sister Bai Qiu.” The thin junior brother suddenly realized.
The chubby man drew his long sword in one swift motion, “Too much insolence!”
Qin Feng clenched his right fist, veins popping on his forehead.
Why would the Myriad Sword Sect employ such eccentric individuals to guard the sect?
“Black Charcoal Head.”
“Master, I’m here.”
“Go easy on them.”
“Okay.”
In no time, after a series of painful cries, these two individuals instantly became obedient.
Just at this moment, another male disciple wearing the Myriad Sword Sect’s sword attire walked over. He glanced at Qin Feng’s group and then looked at the fat and thin duo, frowning, “I only left for a while, what happened here?”
“Senior brother, they actually dared to make a move against us” The fat and thin disciples said with a sob.
After hearing the ins and outs of the matter, the newcomer clasped his fists, “My two junior brothers are ignorant, causing embarrassment to everyone. You said you are the husband of Senior Sister Jianli, what’s your name?”
Finally, a normal person arrived. Qin Feng sighed in relief and introduced himself.
“Good, please wait here for a moment, I will report this.”
Seeing this, the fat disciple got excited, “Yes, Senior Brother, go find some more help!”
“Shut up!” The male disciple was infuriated; these two had already ruined the reputation of the Myriad Sword Sect.
He had always hoped that the sect would send these two elsewhere, but their backgrounds were extraordinary, and they oddly enjoyed guarding the sect because they found it imposing.
“Sorry.” The male disciple bowed again to Qin Feng’s group and departed.
“Hmph, now that Senior Brother has gone to call for help, just wait.” The fat and thin duo, who had just been reprimanded, started boasting again.
With their intelligence, how could they be responsible for guarding the sect, let alone for three years?
Qin Feng thought of a possibility and asked, “Do you have any relatives holding important positions in the sect?”
Upon hearing this, the fat and thin disciples immediately showed proud expressions and said in unison, “My father is the peak master of the Myriad Sword Sect.”
So that’s how it is… Qin Feng clasped his fists, truly feeling deceived by these two.
After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the male disciple who had left returned, accompanied by a girl in blue clothes.
Wasn’t she Lan Ningshuang, by any chance?
The moment she saw Qin Feng, joy overflowed in her expression. “Brother-In-law, it’s really you!”
Upon hearing this, the fat and thin disciples were dumbfounded on the spot.
