Chapter 45: I’m Not Looking Down on You, but You’re Really a Weakling

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The first thought that appeared in Liu Yuan’s mind was ‘are all your Water Moon Dock’s first seats so mischievous?’

You know that I killed the first seat that you replaced, so you, the spare tyre, are definitely not as good as him, right? How dare you come up to me and talk to me in such a weird way?

Liu Yuan looked at Ning Xiangrong, who was next to him, and then looked at Zou Zishi, whose eyes were spitting fire.

It seemed like there was only one explanation. This was another player who had lost his mind because of lust.

It seems that ‘the fair maiden being the hero’s grave’ was a thing since ancient times.

Moreover, the person in front of him was not a hero.

At most, he was just a background character.

Liu Yuan did not have much of an impression of most of the characters from Water Moon Dock. After all, who would pay attention to the name above the head of the NPC who was standing by the roadside and saying fixed lines?

Zou Zishi should be one of them.

He was far inferior to Yue Longzhang, who was a mini-boss in the novice village. At least, Student Liu had died to Yue Longzhang a few times when he was still a newbie.

Even though Liu Yuan had doubled the number of kills since way back then, he had still left a rather deep impression on Yue Longzhang.

Not to mention Yue Longzhang, this Zou Zishi did not even leave a deeper impression on Liu Yuan than the chickens in Chiyu Villa.

After all, when Liu Yuan had just entered the game, he had to fight off chickens for his first quest as a newbie.

His combat strength was even inferior to one chicken.

How embarrassing.

As a result, Liu Yuan looked at Zou Zishi with a very complicated gaze.

In summary, it was ‘Who are you? What are you doing? Is it really okay for you to be like this?’

It’s not that I’m looking down on you, but you’re really weak. Even I’m worried about your safety.

“…”

The feelings that Zou Zishi felt were difficult for outsiders to understand.

He gritted his teeth. “What’s with that look? Don’t you know the etiquette of exchanging names? The Water Moon Dock is a righteous sect, we don’t welcome people like you who are brutal, violent, and easily kill others! You framed him, and you have no moral character!”

There were also sounds of agreement from the side.

That’s right, Senior Brother Yue is such a good person, it’s not wrong to call him a gentleman. No matter if it’s family background, character, or cultivation, which part of him isn’t top-notch? Why would he go undercover in some demon sect? ”

“Before Senior Brother Yue left, he said that he would bring back some special products from the mortals. I didn’t expect that he would leave like this and never return.”

“That’s right. He’s usually gentle to others and often helps his Junior Brothers and Sisters. How could he be a spy from the demonic sect?”

“I’m afraid that this person is the devil cult’s spy. Senior Sister Ning must have been cursed or threatened by him.”

These voices of either whispering or loudly condemning emerged one after another. They were praising Yue Longzhang and trampling on Liu Yuan. They were like sheep, following the herd.

It even made Liu Yuan suspect that Ma Shu’s attack on rumors had no effect.

However, after looking around and seeing that they were all dressed in inner sect uniforms, and that the leader was Zou Zishi, he more or less understood.

The people this guy had sent to welcome Ning Xiangrong were all from Yue Longzhang’s faction.

These guys only had ill intentions…

They wanted to create psychological pressure to help Yue Longzhang turn the tables. They were probably trying to prove that Liu Yuan had killed and framed Yue Longzhang.

However, why would Liu Yuan be afraid? He had been framed to begin with.

“Alright, alright, all of you quiet down. There’s irrefutable evidence that Yue Longzhang is a spy from the demonic sect. If they want to put him on trial, it’s the Law Enforcement Hall’s business. How can you all interfere?”

A tall middle-aged man suddenly pushed through the crowd and stopped everyone with a frown.

He had a burly figure, bronze skin, and a square face that looked very serious. He respectfully said to Ning Xiangrong, “Young miss, the Dock Master is waiting.”

Ning Xiangrong’s expression softened a little, and she said, “Hall Master Zhong, I’ll have to trouble you.”

The middle-aged man laughed. “Working for the Young Miss is the same as working for the Water Moon Dock. It’s what I should do. There’s no need for the young miss to treat me as an outsider.”

He turned to look at Liu Yuan and cupped his hands with a smile, “This person must be Young Miss’s man.”

Before Liu Yuan could speak, Zou Zishi could not help but say, “He and Senior Ning haven’t even started dating yet, but Hall Master Zhong is already taking a stand?”

Hall Master Zhong raised his head, his gaze as sharp as a sword as he looked at Zou Zishi. ” “You’re just a junior, what qualifications do you have to speak like this in front of me? Even if your father is the great elder, he still has to consider the weight of the Law Enforcement Hall.”

He was another person who got in through connections, and his father was the First Elder. No wonder he was so arrogant.

Liu Yuan ridiculed in his heart.

He could not even get a word in the current situation. He felt that the conflict at Water Moon Dock was even more serious than he had imagined.

The already heavy accumulation of open and secret struggles had been ignited by Yue Longzhang, the fuse.

Although Zou Zishi was also afraid of the Law Enforcement Hall, it was taboo to admit defeat in front of so many people. “I’m just speaking the truth, don’t tell me Hall Master Zhong didn’t mean it this way?”

Hall Master Zhong laughed. “What’s there to talk about? It’s the Dock Master who asked the Young Miss to bring back a Dao Companion. Do you dare to question the Dock Master’s decision?”

Zou Zishi clenched his fists. “The Dock Master has always doted on Senior Sister Ning. Whatever ideas she has, he will definitely agree. But this Liu Yuan is the one who killed Senior Brother Yue. The evidence might have been fabricated by him under Ma Shu’s orders. How can we let him enter the Water Moon Dock so easily?!”

Hall Master Zhong said impatiently, “That’s not something you can meddle in. I’ve already been patient enough for Elder Zou’s sake. If you continue to block me, I’ll make my move.”

Zou Zishi glared at Liu Yuan. The latter looked like an innocent victim and even reached out to hold Ning Xiangrong’s hand tightly, which really made Zou Zishi explode with anger.

However, Zou Zishi was clearly more patient than Yue Longzhang. He took a few steps back, took a deep breath, and said, “Since Hall Master Zhong has said so, I have to give the Law Enforcement Hall some face.”

He still had to find an excuse to leave the stage. When the people around him heard this, they looked at each other and gradually dispersed.

Liu Yuan secretly felt that it was a pity. If the other party had made the first move, he would have been able to respond with his own move.

However, just as he was hesitating whether he should open his mouth to mock him, Hall Master Zhong sneered. “Give face to the Law Enforcement Hall? Can a brat like you afford it? Do you see what Yue Longzhang’s father is doing now? He didn’t even bother to look for Yue Longzhang’s corpse. If that’s the case for his only son, then what about you, Zou Wenrui’s adopted son?”

That’s pretty cruel, my friend.

He turned around and tried to sow discord, hinting that the grand elder Zou Wenrui might have sacrificed Zou Zishi as a chess piece. He was afraid that another filial son would appear.

Zou Zishi’s face was gloomy. He snorted coldly and left. “My father and I both feel sorry for Senior Brother Yue. We hope that we can find out the truth.”

The corners of Hall Master Zhong’s mouth curved down, and he returned to his serious and unsmiling expression. He extended his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

Liu Yuan could vaguely feel that the water in the small pond at Water Moon Dock was much muddier than he had imagined.

On one hand, he had killed Yue Longzhang, so he was a thorn in the side of second elder Yue Zong, and a great help to the other factions. On the other hand, he was viewed by Ning Xiangrong as her husband who had to marry in this life, and was the Dock Master’s appointed son-in-law. He could even indirectly represent the Dock Master’s position, or even recommend the next Dock Master candidate.

For a time, whether his identity as a son-in-law was established or not had actually become the key point of the battle between the factions in Water Moon Dock.
