I am the young master

——(POV Elder Zhong)——

Today was like every other day.

I was checking the progress of our little plan in outer court that I saw a scene that makes this day different from the others.

There were a lot of disciples gathering in front of the punishment hall of the outer court and they were demanding justice?!

'Justice for what?' I was deep in thoughts.

Just to be sure I went closer to check on the situation so that It could not create unfavorable circumstances.

I started to eavesdrop on them with my spiritual sense.

The content of the conversations left me baffled.

"Do you think that we can really get justice?" said a black-haired male disciple..

"What are you talking about? Whoever it is, they have to investigate even if it is only for them to keep face. Who would put our heavenly sword sect in his eyes if it is managed like a family heirloom?" one other disciple who had a big build answered the black-haired disciple.

"Hush! If you want to die just kill yourself! Why do you drop your poisonous words when others are close to you?" the third male disciple with brown hair joined the conversation while backing away from the other two…

'What in the world has happened here while I wasn't paying attention?' I was really perplexed about this development.

Looking to the others in hope of finding some answers instead of more questions, I looked at a group of female disciples.

"Senior sister, do you think that this time something would come out of us gathering here?" said a blond young girl.

"We can only hope so. Heavens knows how long it has been that we had to either don't put on makeups or do it to make our faces look horrendous so that lecher won't put his eyes on us." The 'big' sister answered in a sad tone.

Looking at her face even her own sisters were clear about her not attracting anyone, but no one had the guts to come clean with it.

"Even a day more is too much senior sister! I can not express how eager I am to see your fair face once again!" another one of the sisters chimed in excitedly.

Not to say the other sisters, Even the Elder Zhong was amazed by the level of bootlicking shown by this junior.

The 'big' sister was happy by her words and patted her head.

The conversation continued with more flattery that even had some new pointers for an old scholar like elder Zhong.

But after a few minutes, he remembered that he was not here to learn how to flatter better but to find out what the hell is going on here!

Seeing that with eavesdropping he can not find the root of this problem he opted for asking directly as the elder that he is.

Appearing on top of the punishment hall, he looked to the disciples who were gathered down there, and feeling his gaze all the commotion cooled down and all of them looked at elder Zhong with reverence and awe.

This in turn fed the elder's ego and he was silent for a few moments more than necessary and basked in the admiring gazes.

Resulting from this development, the gazes turned confused and the effect of the gazes changed and the elder discovered the awkward situation and tried to fix it with a cough.

*Cough*

"What is this gathering all about? Can someone tell me?" He asked as amiable as he could.

One of the elders of the outer court punishment hall came forward and saluted elder Zhong.

"Welcome elder Zhong, this right here is about one of the disciples in the outer court…" The elder didn't add more, wishing that elder Zhong will get the hint.

Alas, elder Zhong was not on the same wavelength with him and didn't get his purpose in saying not anymore and he felt a little offended.

'How dare an outer court elder be this brazen!' he thought.

"And? Who is it? What is the reason? Give me the key information." I told him with an air of superiority in my tone.

"I… Uh… Well…" the elder stammered a little bit, but in the end, he relented and gave in.

"Well, Elder Zhong, this is about disciple Li Heng." The punishment hall elder answered while beads of sweat gathered on his forehead.

Elder Zhong furrowed his brows.

'What made these disciples demand justice? Did Heng got out of line that much?' Elder Zhong contemplated.

"I'll go and check on this matter, you will handle these disciples…" Elder Zhong told other elders.

""Yes!""

Spreading his spiritual sense towards the courtyard of Li Heng, elder Zhong saw the scene of 'Chu Feng' getting out of the rubbles and punching Li Heng.

What he didn't imagine happening was Li Heng getting blown away by that punch.

But it seems that the opponent was going to attack Li Heng again.

'If this goes on, the Li family will know about this and our scheme would fall apart. I have to do something…' Elder Zhong came to a decision.

He shot to the courtyard where Li Heng was getting manhandled.

'If I finish this disciple fast, handling the aftermath will be nothing much...' He thought reassuringly.

"How dare you touch a member of Li family!" with a thunderous voice elder Zhong shouted and shot a sword light shot toward 'Chu Feng'.

——(POV Li Huang AKA 'Chu Feng')——

'hypocrite bastard!' I sneered.

Well, my friends, let me tell you what is the best shit you get if you start as a young master; you get defensive treasures for your defensive treasure for your defensive armor.

And the best part is that all your shit can 'deflect a move from X realm upper than you' so you have almost nothing to be wary of except some technique that can nullify/move past the defenses or a soul attack.

In the fraction of a second that I was thinking of my humble 'starting village', the sword light got closer to me and was threatening to take me back to the wheel of Samsara.

'Too bad that I'm a rich third-generation tycoon.' I thought to myself.

At the same time, I took a defensive tool out of my storage ring to counter this attack.

The tool is named [Mirror of reckoning]. As its name suggests, this tool mirrors the attack that it receives to its sender. Well, if it was me naming it I would name it [UNO reverse].

But it isn't broken. Why? It can not do the mirroring indefinitely. You have to refine it with Qi so that it can do the mirroring.

This little monster was refined by grandpa Long for me for a couple of months and can receive about 20 of these kinds of attacks.

Why did I use it now? Well, you can see it as a demo for using it in the future. You can imagine it as you getting a driver's license before driving in different situations.

Getting the mirror in front of myself and facing the attack I waited for it to hit.

Aaaaand it hit.

Well let me tell you, I didn't feel shit! Zero, zilch, zip, nada, nothing.

It should be because the suction is so strong that I didn't feel an attack of this magnitude.

From what I can feel from his attack he is at the Golden core realm, I can not say about his stage but this in itself is good enough and says about this tool's capabilities.

And the reversal is in motion.

Okay, now I felt the effect of push from the mirror when shooting back the attack.

Elder Zhong was shocked but he put on defensive measures to counter my attack.

'A defensive tool?!' Elder Zhong thought in shock.

He braced for impact and he was pushed back a couple of meters.

His feet were sunken in the ground and his hands were shaking a little.

I didn't give him time to come to his senses.

"Elder Zhong, which Li family are you helping now?" I told him with a sneer while I ripped apart the outer court disciple robes that were in rags now. Under that, I had my chief disciple robes.

Elder Zhong's eyes widened in shock and horror. Now he recognized me. Not only he attacked the young master of the Li family, but he also attacked a chief disciple. He couldn't think of a way to walk away from responsibility.

'think, think fast!' Elder Zhong struggled internally.

If this was not enough, you could see a group of shadows coming to the scene and looking down at elder Zhong with menacing eyes.

The one leading the group started talking.

"Elder Zhong, you have a lot of explaining to do if you want to keep your life." The leader told him with a voice that promised to inflict suffering.

The leader was no other than my grandpa, Li Long.

How did he come here this fast? Are there such coincidences?

Of course not!

Well, it is really straightforward, using that mirror will send grandpa a mental message because he refined it with his own Qi.

This, in fact, was my plan from the beginning. Well, the down side is that grandpa woke from his deep sleep, but this scheme is not something that I can resolve with only my planning and we probably have to use power.

I just hope that grandpa goes back to deep sleep soon because if he starts to train me again, I don't know how long I would survive.
