MDZS Characters Watching the Future

84. Dusk-Creek Mountain

Suddenly, a person shouted commands from in front of them, ordering all of the disciples to gather into formation before a tall platform. A few of the Wen Sect's disciples came and chided, "Silence, all of you! Don't talk!"

"Did they really think we're going to listen to them?" asked Jin Zixuan.

"Of course, all of you must listen to us." said Wen Chao.

"Quite impossible, really." said Jiang Cheng.

The person on the platform wasn't too much older than them, appearing about eighteen or nineteen. Chest puffed out, he had features that only barely crossed paths with the word "handsome". But, like his hair, they felt a bit greasy, for some reason. This was the youngest child of the QishanWen Sect, Wen Chao.

"Not good-looking at all." said Jingyi.

"Only a blind person can date him, I guess." said Jin Ling.

"What was that supposed to mean?" asked Wen Chao.

"What do you think?" asked Zizhen.

Wen Chao really enjoyed showing his face. He had flaunted himself before the other sects in quite a number of events, which was why people weren't strangers to how he looked. Behind him stood two people, one on the left and the other on the right. On the left was a glamorous girl, her stature slim. With long brows, large eyes, and lips of fiery red, the only blemish was the black mole above her upper lip. It sat on an awkward spot, as though it was always inviting others to dig it out. On the right was a tall, broad-shouldered man, appearing to be in his twenties. His face showed only indifference, surrounded by an air of coldness.

"Just seeing that woman make me disgusted." said Jiang Cheng.

"Me too." said Wei Wuxian.

"I have a feeling that she has a big role in your life." said Nie Huaisang.

Standing on the taller half of the hill, Wen Chao looked down at everyone. Looking quite pleased with himself, he waved his hand, "From now on, one by one, hand over your swords!"

"What does he mean by that?" asked Jin Zixuan.

"A cultivator must always have their swords with them. Why are they taking it away?" he added.

"What if I cut off his throat?" asked Wei Wuxian.

"That would be satisfying." said Jiang Cheng.

Wen Rouhan only gave them a look he doesn't care.

A commotion began among the crowd. Someone protested, "Swords should always accompany those who cultivate. Why do you want us to hand over our swords?"

Wen Chao, "Who was the one that spoke? From which sect? Stand forward on your own!"

The person who spoke was immediately too afraid to speak. The crowd below the platform finally quieted, and Wen Chao was finally satisfied, "It's exactly because there are still disciples like you, who know nothing of conduct, of compliance, of humility, that I'm here to indoctrinate you so that your cores don't rot away. You're already so ignorantly audacious. If your customs aren't straightened up now, in the future, there'd naturally be those who attempt to challenge the authority and climb above the Wen Sect's head!"

"Does he even know what he's saying?" asked Wei Wuxian.

"Saying something like that when he himself doesn't the right conduct." said Jin Zixuan.

"Do I need that? I'm above all of you by the way." said Wen Chao.

"And the time will come where we are going to kill so that you will below us." said Jiang Cheng.
