BXBX NOVEL Chapter 220 Roshi's Plot
In the Pavilion.
Yin reached out a hand to caress the cooling spirit jade pieces as he grinned. "You\'re the one who best understands the proper way one should act."
His cast a glance in a certain direction as he shook his head. "The new kids are all full of youthful vigour, and have yet to learn the importance of the rules. Some of them gained so many benefits out of the blue, but do not know that they should give offerings to show some respect."
A mocking look rose from the corners of his mouth.
Roshi chuckled. "The youngsters only just arrived at the Spirit Devouring Mountain, and do not clearly understand where they stand. They might be under the impression that they are still in the same remote continent from before, and can act as the same genius everyone flatters.
That\'s why they are unable to understand how to behave properly."
Yin nodded with a wide smile. "What do you plan on doing? Although that brat is arrogant, truth be told, he is not breaking any of the sect\'s rules."
A smile rose from the corners of Roshi\'s mouth. "Although there is no rule that says an unofficial outer mountain disciple doesn\'t have the right to teach, elder Yin should not forget that there is another rule that states only one person is needed to teach one spiritual technique."
Yin\'s eyes narrowed slightly. "There is such a rule… but that kid is just an unofficial outer mountain disciple. Do you intend to bully him out with force? If so, people will say an official outer mountain disciple is bullying an unofficial outer mountain disciple."
Roshi softly chuckled. "If I wanted to use such a method, he would have stomped into the ground long ago."
He looked towards Yin and said, "Didn\'t the kid brag that he\'s pretty good at the Gossamer Steps technique? I don\'t need to compete with him in other aspects, only the Gossamer Steps technique. The better one will naturally be the better instructor. What do you think elder Yin?"
Yin could not help but laugh when he heard this. "A competition solely based on the Gossamer Steps technique? You are pretty smart."
Although it was said that Ezra had reached the first level, Roshi had been practicing the technique for two years.
No matter how talented Ezra Zephyr was, he could not possibly surpass Roshi in less than a month, right?
In addition, Roshi had chosen a spiritual technique competition. Since no offensive thing was involved, it would not be seen as bullying, and would be within the limits of acceptability if news of it were to spread
.
"Fine, do as you please." Yin nodded.
Yin was also not very fond of the upstart brat that had been causing a ruckus recently. Most importantly, the brat was completely ignorant of how the world functioned, and did not know how to show respect to one\'s seniors.
Hence, Yin did not mind letting him learn the harsh ways of society.
"I will spread the word that the two of you will compete based on the Gossamer Steps technique in five days. Whoever wins will become the only Gossamer Steps technique instructor in the outer mountains."
Joy finally flooded Roshi\'s eyes when he heard this. He lifted his head and looked in the direction of the mountain creek as chillingness and ridicule flitted across in the depths of his eyes.
"Ezra oh Ezra Zephyr, if you want to fight, I have ways to toy with you to death!"
News that Ezra Zephyr and Roshi would compete based on spiritual technique to see who should possess the right to be an instructor of the Gossamer Steps technique, very quickly spread to the entirety of the outer mountains. This matter undoubtedly led to a huge uproar.
The sharper individuals could already see that this was Roshi\'s counter attack.
Although everyone knew that Ezra was extremely talented in the Gossamer Steps technique, at the end of the day, he had only been practicing it for less than a month.
Roshi on the other hand had spent nearly two years on it.
No matter how one looked at it, a competition purely based on technique was completely in Roshi\'s favor.
"This is too shameless! Does being at a higher level in the Gossamer Steps technique means he will surely be a better teacher?"
"Yeah, Ezra can train you to the first level in a month, can Roshi do that?"
"Roshi is clearly causing trouble on purpose!"
Countless whispers spread in the outer mountains, especially from the disciples that hoped to obtain Ezra\'s guidance, all of them of one mind as they spoke up for Ezra Zephyr.
After all, training with Ezra was more effective.
If Ezra\'s right to teach was taken, they would have no choice but to return to Roshi.
An outcome that would undoubtedly waste more time and spirit jade.
However, their opposition was unable to amount to anything. After all, the disciples that practiced the Gossamer Steps technique was only a little fraction in the entire outer mountains.
Even more disciples were waiting to be entertained, especially the Shiyan disciples. Ezra\'s reputation had grown too great recently, making them slightly unhappy. Hence, they were naturally more than happy to watch him being suppressed by Roshi.
In addition, this was a matter decided by the outer mountain manager, Elder Yin, so none of the disciples could object.
<The Mountain Creek.>
News of the spiritual technique competition swiftly spread to this place and landed in Ezra\'s ears.
The prince was seated on a rock, pretty much no change in his expression. However, the hundred or so disciples before him immediately burst into noise.
"Roshi is too much!"
"Do we have to even ask him where we\'re allowed to train the Gossamer Steps technique?"
"His place is so expensive and so inefficient, who would want to go there."
Mahi also frowned slightly. She came to Ezra\'s side and said, "Roshi\'s bullying is intolerable, I can\'t believe that he decided on this competition without notifying you or seeking your opinion!"
This information had only reached Ezra\'s ears when it was being spread. From this, one could see that Roshi clearly did not care about Ezra\'s opinions.
