Chapter 314: Chapter 148: If You Dare to Draw Your Swords, You Will Die

"Let’s go. Don’t mind her."

Yao Peiyu tugged on Zhang Su’s sleeve, intending to take a side path to get around them.

But it was too late.

Yao Ruohua had seen them too.

Her gaze lingered on Zhang Su for a moment, a cold sneer playing on her lips.

Then, leading the large group behind her, she walked straight toward them, as if deliberately trying to block their path.

"Yao Peiyu, your Fifth Branch has really fallen into decline."

Yao Ruohua walked closer, her gaze sweeping past Yao Peiyu before finally landing on Zhang Su.

Her eyes lingered on Zhang Su’s gray robes for a long time.

"Do you now have to personally greet a mere Named Disciple? You’re a direct daughter of the Yao Family, after all. You’re a disgrace to our family’s name!"

Yao Ruohua’s voice was loud, her tone practically a scolding.

Yao Peiyu’s face flushed crimson. "Yao Ruohua, this is a guest of honor of my Fifth Branch! It’s not your place to point fingers!"

"A guest of honor?"

Yao Ruohua looked as if she had just heard the world’s greatest joke.

She raised her hand and pointed at Zhang Su.

"A mere Named Disciple is now a guest of honor for your Fifth Branch?"

She turned to the three Martial Artists behind her, who were dressed in the uniforms of Official Disciples, her expression filled with smug satisfaction.

"Look at these three behind me. They are all Official Disciples of the Upper Sect, and they even have a chance of becoming Direct Disciples. *These* are the guests of honor of my Third Branch!"

Hearing this, the three Official Disciples also turned their gazes to Zhang Su.

Yao Peiyu opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

But as her gaze fell upon the three Official Disciples, she was rendered speechless.

’What can I say? The Fifth Branch really doesn’t have any Official Disciples. Not a single one. Meanwhile, the Third Branch can casually invite three Official Disciples, all of whom have the potential to become Direct Disciples. This is the gap between us.’

Yao Ruohua continued, "Mere Named Disciples? My Third Branch has more than we can count. They don’t even have the right to visit. And yet the Fifth Branch treats one like a distinguished guest. It’s truly..."

She hadn’t finished speaking.

Suddenly, her vision blurred.

A figure appeared before her without any warning.

So fast she had no time to react.

And then...

SLAP!

A crisp sound echoed.

Everyone froze.

Yao Ruohua’s head was knocked to the side, a bright red Palm Seal appearing on her left cheek.

A searing pain spread across her face, leaving her completely stunned.

Her eyes widened as she stared in disbelief at Zhang Su, who now stood before her.

’This Named Disciple in gray robes actually dared to strike me in the Yao Mansion? I’m the direct daughter of the Third Branch! Ever since I was a child, no one had dared to lay a single finger on me. But now, a Named Disciple has slapped me in front of so many people.’

Yao Ruohua’s mind went blank.

She even forgot the pain.

The surroundings became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Yao Peiyu, standing behind Zhang Su, was also momentarily stunned.

’I never would have imagined that Zhang Su would be so bold. The last time Zhang Su encountered Yao Ruohua, the things she said were even nastier. Back then, Zhang Su didn’t say a single word. I thought he was someone who could endure anything. But now...’

"You... you actually dared to hit me?"

Yao Ruohua finally snapped back to her senses.

Her voice was sharp and piercing.

The Palm Seal on her face grew redder, visibly swelling.

She whipped her head around to look at the three Official Disciples behind her.

"What are you all standing there for? Hit him! Beat him to death for me!"

"If anything happens, I’ll take responsibility!"

Yao Ruohua’s voice was practically a shriek.

Her eyes were bloodshot, fury practically erupting from them.

The three Official Disciples exchanged a glance, then looked at Zhang Su.

Their gazes turned cold and sharp.

One of them, a young man in a blue robe, already had his hand on the hilt of his sword.

He took a step forward, the Inner Strength in his body beginning to surge.

"A mere Named Disciple dares to act so presumptuously in the Yao Mansion?"

His voice was cold.

The other two Official Disciples also gripped their Weapons.

The atmosphere instantly grew tense.

Yao Peiyu’s face turned deathly pale.

’Three Official Disciples! And Zhang Su is just a Named Disciple.’

But just as the three Official Disciples were about to make their move, Zhang Su’s gaze fell upon them.

His eyes were calm.

But the moment the three Official Disciples met his gaze, they were suddenly struck by a chilling premonition.

"If you dare draw your swords, you will die," Zhang Su said calmly.

The three Official Disciples heard this and scoffed.

’A Named Disciple, daring to threaten Official Disciples? And we aren’t just any ordinary Official Disciples. We were carefully cultivated by the Third Branch, with a real chance of becoming Direct Disciples. What does a mere Named Disciple amount to?’

"So what if I draw my sword?"

The Official Disciple with his hand on his sword hilt sneered.

"You’re just a Named Disciple. Killing you is nothing. You..."

As he spoke, he began to draw his sword.

"Senior Brother Chen, wait!"

Just then, an urgent voice called out from behind him.

The Official Disciple’s hand froze, and his brow furrowed.

He turned his head to look behind him.

The speaker was a Named Disciple from the Third Branch, also wearing gray robes. His face was pale, his eyes filled with sheer terror.

"Hmph? What is it?"

Senior Brother Chen’s tone was full of displeasure.

The Named Disciple’s gaze went past Senior Brother Chen to land on Zhang Su.

His eyes were filled with absolute dread.

Then, he leaned close to Senior Brother Chen’s ear and whispered a few words.

Senior Brother Chen’s expression instantly turned grim.

He stared at Zhang Su, the disdain in his eyes gone, replaced by grave solemnity.
