Chapter 1208: Under Your Feet!
Translator: RITF_Rain Editor: Chrissy
As a level nine Dao Origin Stage cultivator, Tan Qingfeng surely had a stable mindset. He should have extraordinary self-control. However, once he was too oppressed to endure the anger, it would be horrible to vent it out!
Many superior cultivators knew the Third Elder's temperament. He was breathing heavier and heavier. The disciples knew that he was going to lose it soon…
Once he raged up, everybody around might have to get through a real tough time.
One of the disciples suddenly came up with an idea after thinking for a while. He humbly said, "Third Elder, in fact… there is one place we haven't searched…"
Tan Qingfeng turned to him and fiercely said, "Bastard! You know there is a place we didn't search, then why don't you tell me earlier?"
That man was a level seven Dao Origin Stage cultivator himself. However, when Tan Qingfeng stared at him, he didn't even dare to argue. He said, "It is my fault."
"Your fxcking fault! It is your stupid mother-fxcking fault! Just tell me where it is already! Do you want me to humbly ask you for it?" Tan Qingfeng raged up.
The others all looked at that man with compassion in the eyes…
[Has he lost his mind? We literally searched every inch of this area. What place is he talking about? He is asking for being beaten…]
However, somebody stood up and bravely take responsibility for the fault, the others were only too glad. So none of them said anything.
"Where is it? Come on. Say it!" Some old men asked.
"It is right here!" That man made up his mind and pointed down at the ground, "It is right under our feet… Within three hundred meters around us, it is the only place we haven't searched yet! We dug out every inch of the other places. We nearly broke the entire mountain into pieces. The only place that we haven't searched yet is right under your feet."
After saying it, he immediately lowered his head.
He definitely knew that it was close to impossible that the two women were hiding right under their feet. To point out this location was merely picking bones from an egg. After all, Tan Qinglin had been guarding this place since the beginning, who was Tan Qingfeng's younger brother!
When he pointed this place out, he had offended Tan Qinglin…
However, because he was too frightened by the Third Elder's fury, he just slipped the words out of his mouth.
He only felt utterly regret when he realized what he just did.
However, what was done can never be undone. There was nothing he could do now!
[I am going to be doomed…Why would I even say that?]
[It is more terrible to offend his brother than to offend him!]
As expected, Tan Qinglin, who was standing right beside Tan Qingfeng, raged up and shouted, "You bastard! Do you mean I am blind? Do you mean I let the two goddamn women hide in the place I was guarding?"
That man usually wouldn't say anything, because he was the one who recklessly slipped out the offensive words. He knew what he did was as unreasonable as picking bones from an egg!
However, because Tan Qinglin spoke aggressively, that man was annoyed.
[What the hell! How dare you question me like that? Your brother is the Third Elder, but who do you think you are?]
[How dare you scolding me like that?]
[We are in equal positions in the sect. You are even lower than me in cultivation levels. You are level six of Dao Origin Stage, a middle-level! I am level seven! I am a standard high-level Dao Origin Stage cultivator!]
[Without your brother, you are nothing! How dare you let out your stupid voice in front of everybody? How dare you scold me like that?]
[Wait and see, you bastard! I will play a good scheme and put you to death soon…]
This level seven Dao Origin Stage cultivator was Song Zhongyuan. He was one of the renowned people in Saint Sunlight Sect. He was never a man of good temper. The Third Elder Tan Qingfeng was better than him in both strength and position, so he definitely could only accept it when Tan Qingfeng was scolding him. However, now that he was humiliated by Tan Qinglin, that was something he couldn't' endure.
[Fxck! I was picking bones from an egg, so what? Everybody has personal opinions. Since I did pick a piece of bone out, it means you god damn egg is not purely an egg! I am sticking to my opinion! So what? I am going to just pick up a big piece of bone in your fxcking face!]
"Tan Qinglin, what was that for? I was simply pointing out the only place we haven't searched!"
Song Zhongyuan stared at Tan Qinglin in his eyes and blandly said, "Do you want me to tell you how critical the situation is? We can't miss any possibility! First of all, Third Elder has confirmed the two women are still in this area. I have faith in him. Secondly, this place, which has been watched by you, is the only place we didn't search."
He continued in a deep voice, "Each of us took charge of one place. I don't believe anybody would be neglectful on such an important matter. We all have dug dozens of meters deep into the ground. What about you? At the very least, you didn't dig down an inch, did you?"
He stared at Tan Qinglin and continued speaking word by word, "You are responsible for this place. Even if nobody mentioned it, you should start to dig it down by yourself immediately. Yet you didn't. When I pointed it out, you actually didn't admit your fault and criticized others instead! Are you too confident about yourself or are you having a secret plan in your heart?"
He brought up the Third Elder's theory first. That was pretty obvious. After all, it was the Third Elder who insisted the two ladies were still inside this area. If they weren't hiding in this place, only Third Elder would be blamed.
Besides… He casually brought all the others up to tie with himself, saying they all had searched their places. Tan Qinglin was the only one who didn't dig down the ground, yet tried to criticize the others. That sounded pretty unreasonable!
Song Zhongyuan might not be very powerful in the martial art, but his tongue was definitely sharp. He might be the only one who could still think logically and systematically!
Tan Qinglin heard him and raged up in a fury, "Bullshxt! What secret plan do you think I have? When you are digging and searching, I was also working hard here! I didn't even move a bit, observing every detail in this place. My spiritual mind had everything in this place covered! There was nothing wrong! Song Zhongyuan, what were you doing by saying those words? Did you indicate that I was helping those two bloody women? Did you mean I set them free?"
No matter how he explained why he didn't dig the ground, jumping up and down, shouting, what Song Zhongyuan said had been kept inside everybody's heart. The others all glanced at Tan Qinglin with an unfriendly look in the eyes.
