Transmigrated Scoundrel's Exchange System-Chapter 30 The Brawl
Elder Ji felt warm blood rushing through his throat; His body tightened veins popped out near his forehead. He could not take it anymore. He jumped toward elder Zhou. "You bastard, you dare to call me a thief."
Elder Zhou did not hold back. When elder Ji came to hit him, he threw a punch and yelled loudly, "Yes, you thief, you stole spirit stones from a disciple of my faction. Return the spirit stones now!"
Things escalated out of hand very quickly. 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺
Two elders in front of the outer sect hall started brawling and yelling and cursing at each other. None of them was ready to back down, and both tried to tear each other to pieces.
The disciples, be they yellow-robed or gray-robed, were frozen stiff. They never imagined two elders would go crazy and brutally attack each other in front of the outer sect hall.
************************************* 𝐟r𝒆ℯ𝘄𝑒𝒃𝚗𝒐𝘃e𝗹.c𝘰𝐦
After an incense of time passed, almost 20 of the outer sect elders and hundreds of yellow-robed and gray-robed disciples gathered in front of the Outer sect hall.
Outer-Sect elders who gathered hearing the commotion stopped elder Ji and Elder Zhou from tearing each other into pieces. Elder Ji and Elder Zhou were still hurling curses at each other, calling each other thieves.
Elder Ji kept yelling elder Zhou stole his faction's disciples while elder Zhou kept cursing elder Ji that he stole his faction's disciple's money.
The other elders kept shaking their heads. It shouldn't have escalated to this level. It was understandable these elders never had any disciple from their faction ever join the inner sect. Compared to other factions, Ji and Zhou factions were relatively new. They only had elders at the foundation establishment level, and even the past family members of the Ji and Zhou families always were outer sect disciples and elders. None of them has ever been accepted into the inner sect. They were frustrated that not a single inner sect disciple or elder was from their faction.
For the first time, they came across a golden goose with the talent to join the inner sect. There was no way they would let go of such an opportunity.
Still, they shouldn't have tried to tear each other apart. Han Cai was not an inner sect disciple yet, why were they on each other throats, trying to tear each other in pieces over a disciple who was not even in the inner sect?
The problem here was that elder Ji came in too strong because he thought elder Zhou wouldn't want so much trouble over just one talented disciple, and he would give up on the disciple to avoid further mess.
The natural process of things should have been that elder Ji came in too strong because elder Zhou was in the wrong here. It was elder Ji's faction that gave Han Cai a safe roof in the sect for one and half years, so elder Zhou should have been the one to take a step back and send Han Cai back to Ji's faction. But instead, Elder Zhou candidly talked about spirit stones taken from Han Cai. Everyone knew all the elders accepted bribes, which was an open secret, but it was not something any elder ever spoke about loudly.
If it were five months ago, elder Zhou would have taken a step back and let Han Cai return to Ji's faction. But the problem was Han Cai had shown his talent, which was on par with the core disciples of the sect.
Even if elder Zhou had to lose all his face, he wouldn't be able to let go of a disciple who might be a core disciple in the future. If Han Cai was just an inner sect-level talent, elder Zhou might have just agreed to elder Ji to avoid the hassle.
Elder Miao, the elder of the discipline hall in the outer sect, was the elder with the most authority in the outer sect. At present, Elder Miao is sitting in the outer sect hall. Opposite him were sitting Elder Zhou and Elder Ji. Around both elders were sitting twenty different outer sect elders. Everyone had a solemn expression on their face.
Elder Miao spoke, "Ji and Zhou, you both have been in a sect for a long time, and you have been elders in the outer sect for decades. How could you behave in such an inappropriate way Just over a disciple."
