Chapter 36: The Rules of the Strong
The fourth watch is over, thank you for your support.
Wei Jin and the three of them looked at Ye Feng nervously with fear. When they saw Ye Feng's gaze, the three of them shivered in unison, dazed, and didn't know what to do.
"I heard from you just now, and you're going to ask for five hundred taels of silver?" Ye Feng asked peacefully.
Although his tone was not harsh, falling into the ears of Wei Jin and the three of them made the three of them shiver fiercely.
Forcibly enduring the nervousness in his heart, Wei Jin raised his head and said: "Yes, the new disciples of the outer court need to pay protection fees to the old disciples, this is a rule that has been passed down for decades, and we just do things according to the rules. ”
"Rules?" Ye Feng's face became gloomy.
Suddenly, he raised his head, his eyes were like knives, and he met Wei Jin's wincing eyes: "In this world, any rules are made by the strong. Since you are talking to me about the rules, let me tell you that the previous rule that new disciples pay protection fees will be null and void from today. ”
Speaking of this, Ye Feng paused for a moment and continued: "The old rules are abandoned, and new rules are naturally established. I declare that from now on, the new disciples will not only not pay protection money to anyone, but will also deal the most brutal blow to the group of people who have bullied them before. ”
After saying this, Ye Feng's face turned cold again. He looked Wei Jin in the eyes and said loudly: "You go and tell the group of people who collected the protection fee a few days ago, and ask them to prepare the silver taels according to double the amount of money extorted, and in the next three days, I will lead all the new disciples to the door and get back the money that belongs to us." ”
Ye Feng's arrogance made Wei Jin feel ashamed. Although his heart was full of resentment, he did not dare to show anything.
Seeing that Ye Feng promised to let him leave, his hanging heart relaxed. Full of fear and reluctance, he took his two companions and turned to leave the courtyard.
When he was about to walk out of the courtyard gate, Wei Jin suddenly stopped. Perhaps due to the distance from Ye Feng, his expression was no longer as nervous as before.
"Ye Feng, as you said, the rules are made by the strong. Although with your current strength, you are enough to enter the ranks of the powerhouses in the inner court, but if you are alone, I am afraid it will not be enough to change the rules that have been passed down for decades in the Sword Sect. I will pass on your words to the other outer court disciples, and I hope to see you fulfill your lofty ambitions one day. Wei Jin said loudly with a hint of resentment.
After speaking, he didn't dare to stay in the courtyard, and immediately supported Zhao Chen with another inner courtyard disciple, and left the courtyard in embarrassment.
After Wei Jin and the three left, the messy courtyard was quiet again.
On the ground, the people of Longwen who were constantly moaning because of the pain all forgot to hum at this moment, and just stared at Ye Feng, who was standing with his hands in his hands, his eyes were full of horror that was difficult to hide.
Sixth-level swordsman, in just ten days, Ye Feng was actually upgraded from a second-level swordsman to a sixth-level swordsman.
Although everyone had long known that Ye Feng, who was valued by Hai Wuya, would never stand on the same starting line as them again, when they learned that Ye Feng's strength had improved so hugely, their hearts were still full of horror.
Looking at the thousand-year-old history of the Lishui Sword Sect, no one could have such a miraculous upgrade speed like Ye Feng.
If in the past, Longman and the others were only jealous of Ye Feng, then in the face of Ye Feng at this moment, they didn't even have the heart to be jealous, and the only thought left in their hearts was to look up.
Ye Feng is only eighteen years old this year, and at the age of eighteen, he was promoted to a sixth-level swordsman, which can be regarded as an unprecedented miracle in the Yin Shang country.
The people of Longman believe that after a period of time, Ye Feng will have greater progress, and at that time, I am afraid that they will completely lose their qualifications to look up.
"Longwen, Lu Fei, can you still stand up?" After making sure that Wei Jin and the three of them were far away from the courtyard, Ye Feng spoke.
His peaceful words fell into the ears of Longman and Lu Fei, like a heart booster, causing all Longman people, who were unable to get up, to stagger to their feet.
At this moment, there was only one thought in everyone's hearts, although they couldn't compete with Ye Feng on the way to cultivation, but in terms of backbone, they would definitely not let Ye Feng look down on him.
When everyone stood up, they all gathered together. Everyone supported each other, holding their noses high and their faces swollen, looking at Ye Feng eagerly.
Thinking of what Ye Feng said just now, he would personally come to the door and let the people who oppressed them pay the due price, including Longwen, everyone became enthusiastic and full of pride.
When in the outer court, they are not admirable beings. But they were a group of arrogant people, and as soon as they entered the inner court, they were oppressed by others.
In the past, due to the gap in strength, they just dared to think in their hearts that one day they would look good to that group of inner court disciples, but they didn't dare to show anything. But now it's different, Ye Feng's appearance gave them boundless courage, and it also made their suppressed emotions completely explode.
Finding that everyone's eyes became hot, Ye Feng nodded approvingly.
No matter when and where, people cannot lack fighting spirit. Looking at the eyes of the Longman people, Ye Feng knew in his heart that the oppression in the past ten days had not made this group of elites in the outer courtyard collapse, but made the fighting spirit in their chests even more excited.
"Do you want revenge? Rest assured, with me, no one can bully you anymore. Ye Feng said firmly.
After saying this, he turned to face the gate of the courtyard, and as he walked forward, he said in a loud voice, "If you want revenge, come with me." ”
In the center of the courtyard, everyone in Longman stood stunned.
They believed that since Ye Feng had promised to avenge them, he would definitely be able to do it. It's just that none of them thought that Ye Feng would want to go to that group of inner court disciples right now.
Leaving the inner courtyard of the Water Sword Sect, the number of disciples is more than 1,000. In such a large group, although the second-level to fifth-level swordsmen accounted for more than ninety percent of the share, they were by no means swept by a sixth-level swordsman.
"Is it because Ye Feng's strength has increased and he is too confident? Or does he already have other ideas in his heart?" Even Longwen felt that Ye Feng was really crazy at this moment.
If Ye Feng wasn't going crazy, how could he go to the group of inner courtyard disciples now, and shouted to everyone to go together.
In the courtyard, you look at me, and I look at you, and no one moves a bit.
It's not that they don't want revenge, it's just that the thought of coming to the door like this is tantamount to self-inflicted humiliation, and no one wants to take a step forward.
At the entrance of the courtyard, Ye Feng stopped. Hearing that no one was following behind him, his brow couldn't help but frown slightly.
He couldn't understand why Longman and the others hadn't figured out the key to the matter so far. If he wasn't absolutely sure, how could he have threatened to take revenge so recklessly. Could it be that Long Wen and the others thought that he only had the strength of a sixth-level swordsman and was confident to face the siege of hundreds of people.
Ye Feng turned around and looked at Longman and the others indifferently.
Under his glance, everyone, including Lu Fei, lowered their heads in embarrassment.
"It seems that they really don't understand what kind of advantages they have. Ye Feng muttered in a low voice.
After talking to himself, he raised his head and said, "It's not surprising that you can't beat the disciples of the inner courtyard because the time you have entered the inner courtyard is still short. But until now, you have not seen the advantage you have, it is a matter of the mind. ”
"Longman. Ye Feng looked directly at Longwen and said, "In the past ten days, haven't you noticed anything abnormal? Those inner courtyard disciples are clamoring to kill, but who dares to really be ruthless to you." You should also know that in five days, there will be an assessment competition for the new disciples of the four major sects, if it weren't for the sect elders announcing an order not to allow the old inner court disciples to hurt you, do you think everyone would be lucky to stand here?"
Ye Feng's words made Longwen stunned. Everyone looked at each other, and their faces were all stunned.
Indeed, just like Ye Feng said, in the past ten days, all the people who have done it to them have been extremely measured. But even so, they all ignorantly thought that this was because the other party was in the way of the door rules and did not dare to hurt them.
Is the door rule really that important? When in the outer court, who among the people took the door rules seriously.
Thinking of the reason why Ye Feng said that the disciples of the inner courtyard did not dare to harm them, everyone only felt that they were extremely stupid.
If it weren't for the fact that those veteran disciples didn't dare to hurt them, how could they be so lucky to only suffer skin injuries every time.
At the entrance of the courtyard, Ye Feng's figure had disappeared around the corner.
Seeing that everyone around him was still hesitant and didn't know whether to follow Ye Feng forward, Lu Fei, who had the hottest temper, was so angry that he stomped his feet suddenly.
"We can't defeat that group of inner court disciples, but we can fight them hard. They don't dare to hurt us, and that's our biggest asset. Lu Fei said angrily.
After saying this, he didn't look at everyone anymore, took the lead in carrying the long sword, and hurriedly chased in the direction where Ye Feng disappeared.
On the boulevard leading to the training ground in the inner courtyard, Ye Feng raised his head and walked forward quickly.
Hearing the sound of hurried footsteps behind him, the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a hint of a smile.
What he admires most is the indomitable person, and he knows that anyone who can walk side by side with him today will become his best friend in the future.
"Ye Feng, wait for me. Lu Fei, who was slightly nervous, shouted loudly.
Hearing the shouting, Ye Feng stopped, turned his head, and smiled brightly.
Although until this moment, Lu Fei was the only one who was obliged to follow him, but it gave him hope.
As a sword cultivator, the most indispensable thing is perseverance, indomitable and strong will, Lu Fei's fanaticism and persistence in swordsmanship, as well as his proud courage, have laid the foundation for his success.
"Slow down, I'll wait for you!" Ye Feng said with a smile.
Seeing Ye Feng so relaxed, Lu Fei, who was slightly nervous, gradually relaxed his emotions, and his face, which was as tense as an iceberg, gradually revealed a hint of a smile.
"If it's revenge, count me in!" After walking in front of Ye Feng, Lu Fei stretched out his palm.
"Smack" the two palms of the two hands struck together. Just as the two of them were sympathizing with each other and watching silently, in the dilapidated courtyard behind the two, several figures rushed out again.
"If you want revenge, count me Longwen as one!"
"If you want revenge, how can you miss my thunder!"
"If you go to trouble those inner court disciples, count me as Pu Yuan!"
This group of people came in ragged clothes, with blue noses and swollen faces, but even so, their faces and bodies exuded a fanatical aura, so that at this moment, those inner courtyard disciples who were passing by the tree-lined path couldn't help but be in awe when they looked at Ye Feng and the others.
Nothing moves people more than a strong will. The moment several pairs of big hands are tightly stacked together, it seems that some unbreakable rules are about to collapse and dissipate!
