Chapter 419: How Can He Be a Rival?
“Su Yi…”
The faces of Jian Yue and the other inner disciples immediately turned gloomy.
They had already heard of the name Su Yi.
Especially Jian Yue, who had been deeply moved when Su Yi and Jian Shiyi fought in front of the Divine Sword Cliff. Jian Yue had been there at that time.
“What’s going on…”
Su Yi, Xu Jiahui, and Zhang Qing walked over. Upon seeing the commotion in the crowd, their gazes slightly narrowed.
“It’s Su Yi.”
Looking at Su Yi approaching, the familiar figure was unforgettable to all the outer disciples who had come from the Heavenly Stairs.
The holy shock they felt was still vivid in their memories—how could they possibly forget?
That adolescent, on the Heavenly Stairs, with the wind and clouds surging, a strange phenomenon descended from the heavens.
Step by step, with lightning and thunder, the world changed colors, and a lone individual stood at the top of the Heavenly Stairs. How heart-shaking it had been!
That scene still made these outer disciples shudder, even now, with goosebumps rising on their skin.
As their gaze fixed on Su Yi, the group of outer disciples instinctively parted. Some even discreetly stood behind him.
“Su Yi, these inner disciples want us outer disciples to hand over the pills and follow them!”
“This is clearly taking advantage of us outer disciples too much! They are bullying us!”
Among the crowd, a bold outer disciple spoke up in a low voice, addressing Su Yi.
To them, Su Yi was also an outer disciple. At this moment, they naturally stood behind him, hoping he would defend them.
Su Yi had come to check the situation and had already heard the commotion of the fight.
Looking at the expressions of the outer disciples and the two injured ones on the ground, he quickly grasped what had happened.
Survival of the fittest is a normal thing, even within a sect.
After all, this was a world where martial arts were supreme, and Su Yi had long been accustomed to this.
Therefore, Su Yi didn’t intend to meddle in the matter. It wasn’t a case of drawing a sword to help others when seeing injustice on the road, and he couldn’t protect these outer disciples forever while in the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords.
Moreover, these outer disciples had no relationship with him, and Su Yi’s personality didn’t concern itself with their problems.
A path was continuously cleared through the crowd for Su Yi, Xu Jiahui, and Zhang Qing, allowing them to swiftly reach the front where they met the 30 inner disciples.
These inner disciples seemed to all be acquainted with Su Yi.
Each gaze fell upon Su Yi, and a dark expression unconsciously appeared on their faces.
The name Su Yi, and his reputation, had long spread among the inner disciples.
Moreover, many of the inner disciples present had witnessed Su Yi’s victory over Jian Shiyi in front of the Divine Sword Cliff.
At this moment, seeing this familiar young man, they naturally felt a bit apprehensive.
They knew their strength was no match for Jian Shiyi’s, and since he had been defeated by Su Yi, it would be troublesome if Su Yi were to stand up for these outer disciples.
Su Yi walked through the crowd and looked at the two heavily injured outer disciples lying on the ground. His face showed no visible expression.
He scanned over the two or three dozen inner disciples before finally turning his gaze away.
However, Su Yi’s indifferent gaze caused the inner disciples’ hearts to tremble, and none of them dared meet his eyes. The scene fell into an eerie silence.
“This matter has nothing to do with you. You can leave.”
Jian Yue felt a little nervous and uncomfortable under Su Yi’s indifferent gaze, and couldn’t help but speak up.
“Hmm.”
Su Yi nodded.
Seeing Su Yi nod, Jian Yue and the other inner disciples suddenly relaxed, feeling as though they had been granted a pardon.
It seemed that Su Yi had no intention of interfering with the affairs of these outer disciples, which was exactly what they wanted to see.
Looking at Su Yi nodding, the outer disciples couldn’t help but exchange puzzled looks.
It felt as though they had just grasped a life-saving straw, only to realize they were drowning again.
Su Yi seemed to have no intention of interfering, which was exactly what they most wanted to see.
Xu Jiahui and Zhang Qing didn’t show much change in expression, knowing somewhat about Su Yi’s character—he was never one to meddle in others’ affairs.
As the outer disciples and inner disciples displayed contrasting expressions, Su Yi’s gaze remained calmly fixed on the thirty inner disciples.
Su Yi’s expression even carried a slight hint of a smile, and he kindly and attentively addressed the ladies.
“Ladies, the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords is very dangerous and not a good place. You must pay attention to your safety and not be careless.”
“Um…”
Listening to Su Yi’s words, the inner disciples couldn’t help but feel secretly surprised and puzzled.
“We will be cautious.”
Jian Yue was also puzzled but still replied.
“Well, the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords is too dangerous. For the sake of your safety, give me your space bags and elixirs. I will keep them for you.”
Su Yi looked at the inner disciples with a serious expression, as if he were doing a good deed for them.
Hearing Su Yi’s words, all the outer disciples in the audience were stunned.
Xu Jiahui and Zhang Qing were also secretly moved and exchanged looks.
Among them, the inner disciples’ facial expressions changed the most dramatically.
Each and every one of them was shocked and stunned, their astonishment frozen in place.
Just moments ago, these inner disciples had been thinking that Su Yi wouldn’t interfere in their affairs.
But who could’ve guessed that he would turn his attention toward them without even bothering to look their way?
Keeping the space bags and medicinal pills was hardly any different from how they had dealt with the outer disciples.
“Su Yi, don’t go too far! There are so many of us inner disciples; you won’t have it good!”
Jian Yue gritted his teeth and gazed at Su Yi, this terrifying outer disciple who had defeated Jian Shiyi. They had no choice but to fear him.
“Humph. I am only trying to safeguard your belongings for your own good. If you truly don’t comprehend, then I am afraid I must persist in my own way!”
Su Yi stood there calmly with a smile still on his face.
“Are you trying to rob us? We are inner disciples, and we’re not easy to mess with!”
Jian Yue gathered his courage and his expression darkened.
Su Yi clearly intended to rob them. Jian Yue had originally planned to use his position as an inner disciple, or the rules of the sect, to intimidate Su Yi.
But he quickly remembered that when they were outside the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, Su Yi had shamelessly taken Ba Yi’s and others’ space bags in public, stripped them bare, and displayed their contents, showing no fear of his status as a direct disciple.
Let alone an inner disciple.
