The documents were shattered into pieces and scattered into pieces.
The atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became dead silent, with only the cold and slightly angry voices of the seminary disciples echoing.
Many Shentu clan members frowned, but did not say anything.
When Chen Xi saw this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. This was the main hall of the Shentu clan, but this disciple of the temple dared to be so presumptuous, which showed how arrogant he was in the past.
However, it was obvious that due to their status as disciples of the seminary, the Shentu clan chose to tolerate such excessive behavior.
This made Chen Xi sigh with emotion. A person's name, the shadow of a tree, and just the signboard of the seminary seemed to have great intimidating power.
However, hearing that that person dared to scold Shen Tu Yanran for being "ignorant" still made Chen Xi frown and his eyes became cold.
The Shentu clan is afraid of the temple, but Chen Xi will not be afraid of it anymore!
"Brothers from the seminary, please calm down. Yanran has always been upright. Please allow me to give you some advice."
Seeing that something was not right in the atmosphere, Shentu Xing quickly spoke up to smooth things over.
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Shentu Yanran, with a look of resentment, and said: "Yanran, don't mess around anymore! Quickly apologize to the Taoist brothers in the seminary, so as not to embarrass everyone."
Chen Xi almost suspected that he had heard wrongly. How could anyone help outsiders bully his own clansmen like this
This guy is really a jerk!
Chen Xi couldn't help but glance at Shentu Qingyuan who was sitting on the front seat in the center, but saw that the latter's face was expressionless, with no trace of emotion at all.
This made Chen Xi feel a little disappointed. Shentu Yanran is your daughter, and it is a bit unkind to have a cold-looking attitude under such circumstances.
"Haha, it's really funny. I just don't want to join the seminary, so you want to force me to apologize? How can there be such a ridiculous and shameless thing in this world!"
At this moment, Shentu Yanran seemed to be aroused with anger, her eyes were as clear as ice, and she said coldly, "I repeat, I, Shentu Yanran, am not interested in becoming a palm seal disciple!"
Each word was so sonorous and powerful that the Shentu clan members present all stared in disbelief.
"What a courage!"
"It seems that the Shentu clan does not intend to cooperate with our seminary."
"This attitude is really bad, Senior Brother Gongsun. It seems that our trip this time was in vain."
All the disciples from the seminary had their faces darkened and sneered, extremely dissatisfied with Shen Tu Yanran's attitude.
"Yanran!"
When Shentu Mingda saw this, his heart suddenly thumped, and he became a little anxious. He immediately shouted sharply, "Do you really want to disregard the interests of our Shentu clan and make all the clansmen feel chilling?"
There was a hint of undisguised anger in his voice.
Shentu Yanran pursed her lips and hesitated to speak. It was obvious that she was also suffering from an unspeakable pressure.
"Since Yanran is unwilling, it's better not to force herself. Whether she joins the seminary or not does not seem to have much impact on the entire cooperation between the Shentu clan and the seminary."
When Chen Xi saw this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and finally spoke out.
As soon as these words came out, not only the Shentu clan members were startled, but even the disciples of the seminary couldn't help but be a little surprised. Who is this guy? What qualifications do you have to speak at this moment
"This fellow Taoist is very strange. I'm sorry for my blindness, but may I ask who he is?"
Gongsun Mu glanced at Chen Xi and spoke indifferently.
"This is my friend..."
Before Shen Tu Yanran could finish speaking, Shen Tu Xing interrupted: "At this time, there is no room for an outsider to interrupt, it's just nonsense!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Chen Xi and said with a slight threat: "My friend, please respect yourself. This is an internal matter of our Shentu clan, and it is not something that just anyone can comment on!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a disciple of the seminary couldn't help but sneered: "Haha, I thought he was a saint, but it turned out to be just a nosy person."
"If this matter hadn't involved Yanran, I wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to you guys."
In response to these scoldings and disdain, Chen Xi just narrowed his eyes and smiled, and said lightly, "But since Yanran regards me as a friend, I will naturally not stand by and watch this matter."
This sentence was said in an understatement, but when it fell into the ears of everyone in the hall, it seemed very arrogant and harsh.
Both the Shentu clan members and the disciples of the seminary couldn't help but feel a little unbelievable. They never expected that a guy with an ordinary appearance and an ordinary temperament would dare to challenge them at such a moment.
Is this guy crazy
Doesn't he know that this is the Shentu clan's clan hall? What we have to face are descendants from the seminary
"Where did Yanran make such a friend? He is simply a weirdo who doesn't know how to live or die!"
Some people couldn't help but sarcastically made a sound, causing a burst of laughter.
"It is indeed a strange thing. If left to the outside world, I would not even know how to die."
A disciple from the seminary also laughed out loud, laughing endlessly, as if he regarded Chen Xi as a reckless and brainless person.
Hearing these various slanders and humiliations towards Chen Xi, Shentu Yanran couldn't help but become more and more angry. She was about to say something when she was stopped by Chen Xi.
"You don't have to argue with them, it would be too boring."
As soon as these words came out, all the disciples in the temple turned cold.
The disciple of the seminary who had ridiculed Chen Xi before suddenly stood up, stared at Chen Xi with an aggressive look, and said: "Haha, it seems that this friend has a lot of opinions about my seminary?"
He was dressed in a silver robe, had a fair face, wide sleeves and broad belt, and a dignified appearance, but his words were extremely compelling and gave people a strong sense of aggression.
"I can't say I have an opinion, I just don't like it."
Chen Xi said casually, his expression indifferent.
At this time, even many members of the Shentu clan were a little shocked by Chen Xi's actions. Where did this young man get the confidence to dare to be so tit-for-tat with the disciples of the seminary
"Haha, you are so brave. In this case, does this friend dare to compete with me?"
The silver-robed man from the seminary laughed angrily, his whole body filled with a terrifying power.
The atmosphere suddenly became chilly and tense.
"Brother Dao, please calm down. Brother Tao, please calm down and leave this person to me."
Seeing that a battle was about to break out, Shen Tuxing hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him. When he spoke, he had a sullen expression on his face, staring at Chen Xi with cold eyes, and scolded: "Friend, please leave immediately, otherwise don't leave." Blame me for expelling you!"
"you dare!"
Shentu Yanran took action and got up.
"Yanran, if you continue to act recklessly, you will be punished according to the clan rules!"
Shen Tuxing gritted his teeth in anger.
"Okay, everyone, please listen to me."
Suddenly, Gongsun Mu, who had been watching with cold eyes, spoke up, immediately suppressing all voices and attracting all the eyes in the hall to him.
But his eyes were looking at Chen Xi leisurely, and his voice was indifferent and calm, and he said: "My friend, you said that you can't stand my seminary?"
A few words changed the atmosphere in the hall for no reason. The air seemed to be frozen, making people unable to breathe.
Chen Xi seemed unaware and said casually: "Did you not hear clearly just now and you want me to repeat it a second time?"
At this moment, even the father and son Shentu Mingda and Shentu Xing couldn't help but change their expressions slightly. They vaguely felt that something was wrong with Chen Xi's reaction, but they couldn't tell what was wrong.
Shentu Qingyuan, the leader of the clan, has not uttered a word until now. His eyes are slightly narrowed and his right index finger is tapping the back of the chair repeatedly. No one knows what he is thinking in his heart.
Hearing Chen Xi's reply, Gongsun Mu suddenly smiled, but there was no emotion in his smile: "You need a reason after all, right? Or are you trying to defend Miss Yanran?"
"What you said is quite right. Yanran is my friend. I can't just stand by and watch what happens to her."
Chen Xi said calmly.
"In this case, I would like to ask, what qualifications do you have to do this? Do you think that as a palm seal disciple of our seminary, you are not worthy of Miss Yanran?"
Gongsun Mu's voice suddenly dropped, with a hint of solemnity.
"Forcing others to do something difficult is ultimately not good."
Chen Xi answered calmly, "I can't take care of other people's affairs, but I, as a friend, must take care of Yanran's affairs."
"Are you in charge?"
The silver-robed man from the seminary couldn't help but sneer.
Chen Xi simply ignored him, not even bothering to argue with him.
Seeing this, Gongsun Mu was silent for a moment and suddenly said: "It concerns the honor of our seminary. It seems that this matter must be resolved."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Shentu clan in the hall was shocked.
The situation has developed to this point, making them very clear that even if they intervene again, nothing will be changed at all.
It's just that they are still wondering, where does Yanran's friend get the confidence? Does he really not know what it means to offend the seminary
"Want to take action?"
Chen Xi raised his eyebrows.
"What do you think?"
Gongsun Mu asked back.
"It seems I can't do it even if I don't agree."
Chen Xi said calmly, Shentu Yanran was about to say something, but he stopped her. He had been ridiculed and ridiculed by these guys in the seminary, which had already aroused a little anger in him.
The clay figurine still has a certain earthy nature, and Chen Xi is not a heartless person, so he cannot tolerate the slander of himself by the disciples of the seminary.
If it were normal, he wouldn't even bother to argue with the other party.
But it is different now, because he is a disciple of Shenyan Mountain. Whether it is for his own reputation or to maintain the prestige of Shenyan Mountain, he must react to this.
"Haha, this kid has some backbone, Senior Brother Gongsun, in that case, let me teach this friend his clever tricks!"
The silver-robed man could no longer hold himself back any longer. When he saw this, he stepped out immediately. His eyes were like lightning, and he locked eyes with Chen Xi coldly. The corners of his lips were full of disdain and sternness.
When everyone saw this, they immediately understood that this battle was imminent and had to be launched!
Suddenly, all eyes fell on the silver-robed man and Chen Xi, and the atmosphere became tense.
