Chapter 98 The Coward and the Childish

"Elder Fang." Mo Li's warm voice reminded her of the early morning sunshine. However, it somehow made her uncomfortable. "The Sect Master has told me a lot of things about you." Contrary to Mo Li's warm voice, not a tinge of amusement could be seen in his face.

Fang Yu nodded and looked at her tea, ignoring the two men in front of her. Knowing the elder that became Dong Hu's master was enough for her. She buried the feelings of familiarity and continued to drink her tea as her master talked to the man happily. From their conversation, Fang Yu understood that the Sect Master sent this elder to invite a genius who had a heavenly spirit root and was already at the Eighth stage of Qi Condensation at the age of sixteen. Such development at that age was really considered one in a million talent!

Of course, this disciple was none other than the villain, Dong Hu. In the future, while Dong Hu was really talented, he was arrogant, his nose always pointed towards the sky. However, in the end, her disciple Ji Tian would still defeat the Villain Dong Hu. Fang Yu rolled her eyes inwardly. With the help of her potions, Ji Tian would become the winner of the competition.

"Elder Fang." Mo Li called out. She raised her head and looked at the man who sat next to his master. "I remember that Elder Fang does not have a disciple yet?"

"Ah… Yu'er is extremely picky when it comes to her disciple." The Sect Master answered. "Considering our Yu'er is a genius herself, she has the right to act like this."

"Is that so." An unfathomable glint flashed in his eyes.

"Master I just found a good disciple." Fang Yu said after she finished her tea. "He will be coming in the entrance examinations, six months from now."

"Really? Then… that is wonderful! Aiyo! This could mean that we would have two geniuses in our Sect again!" Who would have thought that two elders are going to have a new disciple at the same time? "Aiyo… this is going to be exciting!"

Fang Yu only nodded, her gaze was towards her tea.

[Quest: Anger Elder Mo Li. Reward: Ten Coins. No Option to Decline.] The robotic sound echoed inside her head. Fang Yu sighed inwardly. However, the robot was not done yet. [You have twenty-four hours to become Elder Mo's rival.]

Rival? She frowned.

This frown didn't go unnoticed by the men in front of her.

"Is there something wrong?" The Sect Master asked.

"This…" Fang Yu said. "I want to challenge Elder Mo to a duel."

"…"

"…"

The two men looked at each other.

"Yu'er, you just got back in the sect. So… you don't know that Elder Mo is the strongest Elder and—"

"I want to challenge him to a duel." Fang Yu repeated her words. "I have been asleep for too long. I need to know how strong I have become." Elder Mo Li might be strong. But this man was wounded a few days ago. There was no way that he would be able to recover in such a short period. "Please sect master. Allow this lowly one to challenge him."

Silence descended before them. Mo Li just stared at Fang Yu while the Sect Master's lips thinned. He eyed the man next to him before bringing his gaze back to his only disciple, the genius Fang Yu. Seeing her resolute expression, the Sect Master gave a burst of wry laughter. "Aiya… I cannot do anything about this expression. I agree but you have to ask Elder Mo about this."

Hearing this, Fang Yu looked at the handsome man opposite her, waiting for him to say yes.

"No." Contrary to her expectations, Mo Li shamelessly declined the duel. "I don't want to fight you." He said, his face cold, devoid of any expression.

"You—" She was not expecting this. As the most powerful person in this sect after the Sect Master, Mo Li should never decline to any challenges. "Why?"

"No reason. I just don't want to fight."

Fang Yu narrowed her eyes at him. "I was not expecting Elder Mo to be a coward."

"Coward or not. I am not fighting you." Elder Mo smirked and drank his tea.

"This is an eye-opener." Fang Yu said. "Sect Master, I was not expecting that you would accept such a coward into our Sect."

"Eh… Hehe… Lovely disciple… You should calm down. Calm down. Being Angry is no good for the body. You just got back. Why don't you take some time to familiarize yourself with the new changes in the Sect?"

"Sect Master… are you chasing me out?"

"Elder Fang… I was not expecting to see someone so childish. Aren't you almost as old as me?" Elder Mo's eyes were full of ridicule. "Being this old and yet acting like a teenager. This is the real eye-opener."

"Eh… Elder… Please forgive my lovely disciple. She had been like this for years now. She just wants to know who is stronger."

The Sect Elder's words made Fang Yu's face darker. This was actually the first time that this old man was nice to someone other than her!

"I understand. There is no need to apologize, Sect Master."

"Lovely disciple. Master is going to give you this… Purple flower of hope for your potions. This will be good for your advancement. For now, Elder Mo and I will have to talk about something important." The old man gave an apologetic smile as he handed her one of the rarest ingredients for potion-making. This disciple of his was still the same! Even if she had disappeared for years, her temper was still the same.

Fang Yu grabbed the flower and rose from her seat. She didn't bother bowing as she walked out of the cave. "Coward." Her voice lingered near Elder Mo's ears.

"Childish." Of course, Elder Mo responded with a smile. However, his next words made her speechless. "Ice Queen in the ice cave." Fang Yu stopped walking at the entrance of the cave. She looked in the direction where the Sect Master and Elder Mo were talking, her gaze extremely complicated. She could feel the man's gaze towards her direction.

She immediately wondered if the man knew that she was in that ice cave. Impossible. There's no way that he would know about it. When she healed him, Fang Yu had made sure that he already lost consciousness. Moreover, she had made sure that the cave didn't have any traces of her spiritual sense. There was no way that he would know about her.
