Martial Cultivator Chapter 125: My Name

The dust settled and the man struggled to sit up, a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. He looked at the young man in black who was holding the two bags of honey dates, his face filled with disbelief. “Do you know what you’re doing?”

These were the words the woman had already said before and now, he was repeating them again. His voice was icy cold and also full of anger. In his view, even if the young man in front of him could defeat him, he would not dare to do anything to him on the streets of the Divine Capital. Even though this was the Divine Capital of the Great Liang Dynasty, he came from the foreign lands and represented his sect. The Great Liang Dynasty had to give some face to his sect no matter what.

But he never expected that the young man before him, who was clearly a young military official of the Great Liang Dynasty, would have no such considerations. His actions showed no regard for the consequences. Yoouur favorite 𝒏ovels at n/ovel/bin(.)com

This made him very furious and puzzled because it was completely different from how he had envisioned the development of the situation.

“Good, good, good!”

The man laughed from extreme fury, “I come from Old Pine Mountain. How dare you treat me like this!”

Chen Chao looked at the man and said with an innocent look, “You were being unreasonable and you made the first move, I was merely defending myself. Even if this matter is brought to the Court of Judicial Review, I’m the reasonable party too.”

The man said angrily, “I don’t believe that if this matter is escalated, the Great Liang Dynasty will protect you like that!”

Chen Chao was very calm from start to end. He just said, “It’s just two bags of honey dates. Is it worth getting so worked up over?”

The woman also sat up at this moment, looking at Chen Chao. This woman had become extremely ferocious at this moment, her eyes filled with killing intent.

Chen Chao looked at the woman very seriously and said, “Please don’t look at me like that… I’m afraid I can’t hold back and kill both of you.”

When he was talking, a glint of killing intent flashed in his eyes too. It was a very cold-blooded gaze devoid of emotion. At this moment, Chen Chao looked at the two foreign cultivators in front of him just like he would look at the demons in the mountains awaiting slaughter.

No mercy whatsoever.

They both thought that Chen Chao, being in the Divine Capital, would not dare to make a move. But little did they know that Chen Chao had the same thought. If they were outside, he would have swiftly beheaded them without wasting his breath.

The woman was startled by Chen Chao’s gaze and her momentum immediately weakened.

The man continued to threaten, “Today’s matter cannot be settled like this. You must pay the price!”

“If you truly have the audacity, go ahead and kill us right here!”

He had made up his mind. The young man in front of him would not dare to make a move in broad daylight. If Chen Chao really dared to kill them, then the situation would escalate and no one would be able to clean up the mess.

Hearing these words, the onlookers became worried. They were a little afraid that the young man in front of them would lose control for a moment and cause a great disaster.

Chen Chao looked at them and shook his head. “Do you really think that I’m you guys? A few words and it will shake my determination? I won’t make a move right now. I just want to leave with these honey dates. So, what can you do?”

Chen Chao raised the bags of honey dates and shook them, wearing an expression that practically begged to be punched.

Seeing how he looked, that man’s expression became even uglier. Not only was he no match for the young man before him in terms of fighting, but now, even his words were falling short.

He had never imagined that the young man’s temperament was actually so tough.

As if seeing through his thoughts, Chen Chao mocked, “It’s not that I’m tough, it’s just that you are too pathetic.”

His voice was nonchalant, like a gentle breeze brushing over a hill; devoid of any emotion.

But it was precisely these words that further infuriated the man before him.

An unusual flush appeared on his face, his Adam’s apple bobbed as if something was about to spew out from his mouth. But soon, he suppressed it.

Looking at this scene, Chen Chao was slightly disappointed.

The man before him could really hold it in.

Just at that moment, a bewildered voice sounded out, “Who’s stealing honey dates?”

It was a clear female voice, like the flowing water in the mountains.

The man was already furious and powerless against the youth in black before him. Now that he heard someone speaking, it provided an outlet for his pent-up emotions. Without even turning his head, he cursed angrily, “Who’s the little brat? Don’t you know your place?”

Listening to his words, Chen Chao’s expression suddenly became extremely fascinating, and even with a hint of admiration.

Under a nearby tree, Zhu Xia opened her eyes and sat up. She felt rather unhappy.

She had a very long dream and woke up feeling a bit hungry. After a moment of confusion, she remembered that she had gone out early in the morning to come here and buy honey dates. But now, after taking a nap, she was already feeling hungry. But the honey dates were not bought yet, she naturally felt dissatisfied.

When she looked around, the scene before her made her even more dazed.

After understanding what had happened here, she became even more angry.

Hence, she stood up from her chair and walked towards them while asking a question at the same time.

Then she heard the man cussing her out.

At first, she felt a bit aggrieved.

As the saintess of the Myriad Heaven Palace, even though she did not have any friends on the mountain, her teachers treated her very well. They rarely scolded her or even talked to her in raised voices. But that man in front of her actually cussed her out!

If those daoist in the Myriad Heaven Palace found out, they would probably beat that man to death on the spot.

Zhu Xia raised her eyebrows and angrily said, “Which sect do you belong to?!”

She was actually very cute when she got angry, with dimples appearing. There was no trace of an ugly appearance.

The man subconsciously retorted, “Who do you think you are? Are you even worthy of asking about my sect?”

Zhu Xia puffed her cheeks and turned to Chen Chao, asking, “Chen Chao, which sect does he belong to?!”

Upon hearing the words “Chen Chao,” the man’s expression changed slightly. How could the foreign cultivators currently in the Divine Capital not know the name of this Deputy Commander of the Left Guard? After the imperial banquet battle, Chen Chao’s reputation reached its peak. Moreover, his bet with that woman by the lakeside had elevated his reputation by another level.

With these two incidents, how could they possibly not know Chen Chao’s name?

Thinking about how he had provoked this person just by coming out to buy honey dates today, the man felt some regret. In the Divine Capital, this young man before him was famous for not fearing foreign cultivators. Even someone like He Yi, a character on the Latent Dragon List, he beat him up just like that. Who did they think they were?

“They are from Old Pine Mountain.”

Chen Chao smiled at Zhu Xia and said, “The two of them should be from the same sect?”

Zhu Xia frowned slightly and asked, “That subpar qi refiner sect in the north?”

Old Pine Mountain was a second-rate sect among foreign cultivator sects. It could not be considered subpar. But compared to the Myriad Heaven Palace, it was indeed far inferior. It was also within reason that Zhu Xia did not care much.

However, these words did not necessarily sound that pleasant to the man.

He stared at the young girl and reproached, “Who are you? To actually dare belittle my sect so casually?!”

Zhu Xia ignored him and turned to Chen Chao, asking, “They wanted to snatch my honey dates? And they’re still scolding me?”

Chen Chao shook the two bags of honey dates in his hand and pondered for a moment before saying seriously, “Although they didn’t succeed in snatching them, it seems that’s what they intended. As for them scolding you, I can confidently say that they are being completely unreasonable.”

As Zhu Xia listened to Chen Chao, her anger subsided a bit. But she still asked earnestly, “If I were to have my master write a letter and have the seniors on the mountain go to Old Pine Mountain to reason with them, would I be justified?”

Chen Chao nodded and said, “There is truly nothing more reasonable in this world than that.”

“Okay, I’ll tell my master when I go back!”

Zhu Xia made up her mind and became happy again.

However, the man felt a chill. That young girl appeared too casual and her attitude was too ordinary. Moreover, he learned from the girl’s words that she was also a fellow foreign cultivator, which made him somewhat worried.

After a moment of silence, he reined himself in considerably. He bit the bullet and asked, “May I ask for Fellow Daoist’s name?”

His willingness to ask already indicated that he was starting to feel scared.

But Zhu Xia looked at him and mimicked his tone, “Who do you think you are? Are you even worthy to know my name?”
