Chapter Forty-Four: Rejected

  The tall guard hesitated for a moment and followed behind him.

  The two of them approached cautiously, drawing closer and closer to the depths of the bookcase.

  After a while, the two came before Long Jing Tian. Suddenly, Long Jing Tian's entire body glowed brightly, and on top of his head, golden and black lightning flashed and intertwined, forming a small cloud of thunder.

  When the two were still in shock, Long Jingtian's eyes suddenly opened, and his hands grabbed at the two of them. The two were shocked and were about to retreat when they felt a pain in their throats.

  Long Jing Tian grasped the necks of the two with both hands and stood up from the ground.

  "You, you're okay?!" The triangular-eyed guard's voice was hoarse and unclear, his face full of terror.

  "What do you think?" Long Jing Tian sneered, using both hands to lift the two of them off the ground.

  The two men's faces turned a deep purple, their legs kicking wildly as they tried to attack Long Tian, but they found that they couldn't muster up any internal energy.

  Just as the two were about to run out of breath, a sudden shout came: "Stop!" Next, a strong and powerful fist broke through the air, directly striking Long Jing Tian.

  "Huh?!" Long Jing Tian threw the two of them away and punched back with a fist, releasing a powerful punch.

  "Hong!" The sound shook and the air was stirred up in all directions.

  Long Jing Tian took a step back, and when he looked again, he saw a young man with golden hair float down and retreat several steps.

  The blond young man stood still, gazing at Long Jing Tian with a look of great surprise.

  "What's going on?!" He then asked the three-eyed man who had fallen into a corner of the bookshelf.

  "Kang Hai, brother, you've come just in time!" The two triangular-eyed men looked at the newcomer with surprise and delight, getting up from the corner of the bookshelf. One of them pointed at Long Jing Tian: "This kid has been practicing the Book Pavilion's technique for a day now. We came in to ask him to leave, but he refused and even used his strength to injure us!"

  Kang Hai turned around, looking at Long Jing Tian, and asked in a pressing tone: "The rules of the Wu Shen Temple are clear. All inner temple disciples who enter the inner temple library can only read for one day each month. You actually dare to defy this rule just because of your strength!"

  "What if I obey? What if I don't?" Long Jing Tian said indifferently.

  Kang Hai's face sank, and he coldly laughed: "Good, then I, Kang Hai, will see just how great your abilities are!" After speaking, his entire body burst into flames.

  At this time, the triangular eye opened its mouth and reminded: "Brother Kang Hai, this little guy is called Long Jingtian, he is the first in this inner temple assessment!"

  "Oh, so you're the first place in this inner temple assessment!" Kang Hai sneered: "No wonder you're so arrogant, Long Jing Tian is it? Don't worry, I won't kill you. According to the Book Pavilion rules, those who exceed one day's time and still stay in the pavilion will have their Qi Sea abolished. So now, I'll represent the Law Enforcement Hall and abolish your Qi Sea!"

  "Is that so?" Long Jing Tian said coldly.

  Just as the two were about to come to blows, footsteps sounded from outside.

  The footsteps came suddenly, and everyone was stunned. They turned their heads to look, and when they saw the person clearly, Kang Hai's face changed greatly, and he hastily bowed and said, "Greetings, Elder Yang!"

  Old Goat? Long Jing Tian looked at this old man with a goat-like beard and an unusual appearance, a sly and cunning old fellow.

  The Martial God Temple, apart from the Head Master and the Supreme Elder, would be the one with the highest authority and status among the Elders.

  This old sheep is exactly the old sheep who was watching the changes of the list with that old dragon in the void of Purple Mist Peak at the beginning.

  The old goat saw three people paying their respects, hummed a sound, and then looked at Long Jing Tian, from top to bottom, and then from bottom to top again, nodding occasionally.

  Kang Hai, three triangular eyes stared at each other in silence, but no one dared to speak up, standing still on the side.

  After a while, the old sheep finally spoke up and said: "Young man, why didn't you explain earlier?"

  He was naturally referring to the case of the two men with triangular eyes who wronged Long Jing Tian.

  The triangular-eyed and tall guardian's face changed drastically, hearing the old sheep's words, they realized that everything they had done before was already seen through by the old sheep!

  At this thought, both of them felt their hands and feet turn cold.

  Long Jing Tian looked at Old Man Yang with a calm expression: "Why should I explain?"

  The old goat was taken aback, clearly not expecting Long Qingtian to respond in such a way. After a brief pause, he suddenly burst out laughing, his laughter loud and clear. With his right hand pinching his chin whiskers, he nodded repeatedly: "Not bad, not bad! Some things indeed don't need explanation! Alright, your personality suits my taste. How about it? I, Yang Qing Shan, haven't taken on a disciple for over 600 years. Are you willing to become my disciple?"

  The old goat finished speaking and smiled at Long Jing Tian, who was waiting for his soon-to-be disciple to be overjoyed, excitedly jumping up and down, before coming over to pay his respects to this master.

  What?!

  Kang Hai, standing still beside him, had his triangular eyes wide with envy and jealousy as he gazed at Long Jian Tian, thinking that this was a pie that had fallen from the sky.

  Who is Elder Yang? His identity isn't as simple as being an ordinary elder of the Martial God Temple. He's not only an elder of the Martial God Temple, but also the master of the Law Enforcement Hall.

  This old sheep's actual strength is absolutely among the top three of all the elders in the Martial God Temple!

  Rumor has it that he has already reached the Seventh Peak of Emperor Wu and is only half a step away from breaking through to Martial Sage!

  While envying triangular eyes and high noses, their complexion is even more pale.

  What if Long Gongtian became a disciple of this old goat?!

  "I didn't plan on acknowledging anyone as my master." Long Jing Tian spoke up at this moment.

  The dragon's roar fell, and the surroundings seemed to quiet down instantly.

  The old goat's smile froze.

  Nangong Hai, Sanjiao Yan and three others stared at Long Jing Tian with their mouths agape, their faces filled with disbelief. Their jaws nearly dropped to the ground.

  "You, you said, you're not willing?!" After a long time, the old sheep finally came back to his senses, looking at Long Jing Tian with a hint of embarrassment. This Martial God Temple elder, Executive Hall master, personally wanted to take him as a disciple, but was actually rejected!

  Not just Kang Hai and the three of them, but he also thought it was absurd.

  The Azure Continent had many talented young masters from influential families who sought to become his disciple, but he had never accepted any of them. Now that he was willing to take on a disciple himself, people were unexpectedly unwilling.

  How did this thing turn around?!

  "Good."

  Yang Qing Mountain opened his mouth, thought for a moment about Long Jing Tian's words just now, and didn't take anyone as his master? He frowned, feeling that Long Jing Tian was too arrogant!

  Of course, since Long Jing Tian was unwilling, he didn't say another word.

  He was an elder of the Martial God Temple and didn't have to humble himself to beg someone to be his master, but he felt a little regretful in his heart.

  At this time, Yang Qing turned his head and looked at San Jiao Yan and Gao Ge Zi who were standing still beside him. He let out a cold snort: "You two, are you going to follow me or go to the Law Enforcement Hall to receive your punishment?"

  Three people heard it and their legs went soft, they fell to the ground with a deathly pale face.

  Although Na Konghai didn't know the details of the matter, he connected what Yang Qing had said earlier with Long Jing Tian and guessed that things were not as they seemed, unlike what San Jiao Yan's two people had said.

  Kang Hai's face looked somewhat unsightly.
