Evil Moon's Respect
Chapter 17 Evil Moon's Respect
Noble conduct?
You Chen's lips twitched subtly. Thinking of Bibi Dong's disgust for the Angelic Martial Soul, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
However, even if this truth were told to Hu Liena, Bibi Dong's little fangirl, she would probably just look at him with disdain and say that he was slandering Bibi Dong.
He shook his head inwardly and continued, "I don't care whether your actions are righteous or not, kid. You came here to cause trouble without authorization from the enforcement department. Even if you are a disciple of the Pope, I can throw you out of my house at any time."
Upon hearing this, Hu Liena was not angry at all; instead, a sly glint flashed in her eyes.
You Chen's lips curled slightly as he said, "Oh, by the way, if you're thinking that you can rely on your age advantage and your status as the Pope's disciple, and that I won't dare to do anything to you, and that you'll relentlessly come and cause trouble even if you're thrown out..."
Snapped!
A crisp sound was heard.
Hu Liena suddenly sat up straight, shuddered, and her face turned as red as an apple.
"You, you!"
—How dare you spank me!?
Hu Liena did not utter the complete sentence.
After all, this is just too embarrassing.
Yan was completely bewildered, but the more astute Xie Yue had already noticed something amiss from Hu Liena's unusual body language. He silently lowered his head, pretending not to see anything.
He was shocked.
"Is this Teacher You Chen's skill level!?"
Xie Yue's Moon Blade attacks at an extremely fast speed. In order to better control the Moon Blade, Xie Yue has cultivated outstanding dynamic vision, either actively or passively.
Even without the enhancement of a Beast Martial Soul, his dynamic visuals are still the best among the three members of the Golden Generation.
As a genius, and having also experienced the trials of the Soul Arena, Xie Yue was naturally very confident in his strength. He was certain that even a Soul Master of the Agility-type would not be able to escape his eyes at maximum speed.
However, when You Chen slapped Hu Liena's buttocks, he didn't react until Hu Liena was hit.
Xie Yue silently shed a bead of cold sweat, suppressing his slight disdain for You Chen.
To be honest, while he outwardly showed remorse towards You Chen, he inwardly disagreed somewhat, feeling that Hu Liena's aggressiveness was not excessive.
Whether it's him, Yan, or Hu Liena, they have all become Soul Masters at a young age, while You Chen, who is 35 years old this year, is only a Soul Sect Master.
They are only one major realm apart, and in a few years, their realms will be at the same level.
Not to mention, all three of them have top-tier martial souls, while You Chen? I heard he only has a mid-level martial soul?
And the difference in the quality of martial souls was exactly what their mentor, You Chen, personally taught them in class.
Xie Yue understood perfectly that in the Douluo Continent, the strong are respected. So what if someone has a high level of knowledge?
Isn't it all for the benefit of those Soul Masters?
Perhaps his idea is indeed correct.
But at least for now, he does not have the right to look down on You Chen.
That terrifying speed and exquisite technique proved that You Chen was not a Soul Master with only a mid-level Martial Soul quality and ordinary strength.
As a renowned theoretical master, even if his original talent was ordinary, he might have opened up a different path by studying his own martial soul.
He couldn't see through You Chen.
At least for now, You Chen is still the stronger party, while he is the weaker one.
You Chen is probably about to become a Soul King. But it will take him at least five or six more years to become a Soul King.
Before his strength truly surpasses You Chen's, he should naturally show due respect to the stronger ones.
Thus, without the other three people present being aware of it, Xie Yue's arrogance as a genius quietly subsided.
At this moment, You Chen's attention was entirely focused on Hu Liena. He smiled kindly and said, "Even His Holiness the Pope has to have a legitimate reason for his actions. I'm disciplining a guy who inexplicably barged into my house and caused trouble. Even the Pope has no right to say anything."
It is precisely because one is without desires that one becomes invincible.
He has already acquired the "knowledge" that the Spirit Hall desired most.
Just like someone who works for the government in their past life, if you don't want a promotion or a raise, then if you follow the rules and don't violate any principles, that's a secure job.
The Pope doesn't have absolute power in the Spirit Hall. Because of Qian Daoliu's presence, Bibi Dong doesn't dare to take any dirty tricks against You Chen.
As for the rest, whether it's a pay cut, a job transfer, or being pushed away from core research projects, You Chen doesn't care at all.
If that's the case, what does he have to be afraid of?
We haven't reached that dark era yet. If You Chen chooses to give up, he will be invincible.
Seeing You Chen's fearless demeanor, especially his attitude of completely disregarding his mentor whom he regarded as a female idol, Hu Liena momentarily forgot her shame and anger, her face turning pale and then red with rage.
"I don't know where you, little brat, get such a big grudge against me, but after all, we've been teacher and student, so I still hope that we can part ways amicably in these last moments."
You Chen spoke sincerely, but Hu Liena did not appreciate it and left in a huff.
Xie Yue hurriedly bowed to You Chen to apologize, then chased after him, leaving only Dai Yan behind.
"Teacher, I apologize to you on Nana's behalf as well."
Yan looked at her with a complicated expression and said, "I don't know what's going on with her now. Although she has occasionally acted willfully before, she's never been this unreasonable."
You Chen shook his head, thinking to himself, "Should I tell you that this little girl has been brainwashed by our great Pope? That the glorious Pope has been secretly smearing me, an honest man, all day long?"
There's no need, absolutely no need. Bibi Dong might bring her personal grudges into her teaching, influencing the values of the next generation, but You Chen wouldn't stoop to doing such a thing.
It's not too late to tell the little guy about the darkness of the adult world when he grows up and his values are formed.
So You Chen simply said, "Although you two are childhood sweethearts, even the closest family members shouldn't be treated as one. If Hu Liena is wrong, it's not your place, Yan, to apologize on her behalf."
Yan nodded upon hearing this, his eyes shining slightly. What he liked most about his teacher was his fair and open-minded demeanor.
In Yan's eyes, You Chen is not only the greatest scholar with a wealth of knowledge and the wisdom to solve any problem, but also an elder who cares about his disciple and is willing to do his best for him, whether it is a problem in teaching or a problem in life.
Therefore, even though Hu Liena became the Pope's disciple, Yan was never jealous of her.
Ke Yan's eyes darkened again when he thought of the rumors he had heard not long ago, and You Chen's words to Hu Liena about "parting amicably".
"Teacher, I heard you're leaving Spirit City soon, is that... true?"
