Chapter 1823: The Wind Outside Is Strong, Mind You Don't Catch a Cold

With Ye Yuan's list in hand, Zhu Wen went straight to the Spirit Medicine Hall.

Sure enough, as soon as he saw the list, the senior brother inside was startled and immediately shooed him out.

"Senior Brother Song, these spirit medicines aren't for me! Elder Du Rufeng told me to send the Shadow Moon Sect people to Shanglin Garden and take good care of them, fulfilling any request. But as soon as I got there, they handed me this list and insisted I fetch it. I had no choice!" Zhu Wen said with a troubled look.

Hearing Zhu Wen's explanation, Senior Brother Song couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Elder Du Rufeng? Shadow Moon Sect? This... what's going on?"

Zhu Wen smiled bitterly: "How would I know what's going on? When Elder Du gives an order, we disciples dare not disobey! Senior Brother Song, how about... you report this to Elder Chai and let him decide?"

Senior Brother Song's expression turned serious, feeling that Zhu Wen's suggestion made sense.

When it came to matters between big shots, they'd better tread carefully.

So, he took Zhu Wen to see Elder Chai.

Zhu Wen repeated what he had said, adding embellishments: "That kid named Ye Yuan is very arrogant. Relying on Elder Du's golden words, he doesn't take the Divine Temple seriously at all. He even said that if I couldn't get these spirit medicines, I should get out of the Divine Temple. I..."

Sure enough, Elder Chai flew into a rage upon hearing this: "Bastard! When did the Shadow Moon Sect become so arrogant as to disregard the Divine Temple? Lead the way! I want to see what right the Shadow Moon Sect has to stay in Shanglin Garden! Has that old fool Du Rufeng lost his mind?"

Seeing Elder Chai's fury, Zhu Wen felt a surge of satisfaction.

He wanted to see who could protect you now!

...

"Which one is Ye Yuan? Get out here!"

Elder Chai's roar instantly spread throughout Shanglin Garden, drawing many onlookers.

Xu Yan reacted the fastest. Coming out and seeing the furious Elder Chai, his expression changed, and he cupped his hands: "So it's Brother Chai Zhen! May I ask what offense Ye Yuan has committed to anger you so?"

The onlookers, seeing Xu Yan and then Bai Li Qingyan emerging one after another, were all wide-eyed with shock.

"Isn't that Xu Yan from the Shadow Moon Sect? How did their sect get to stay in Shanglin Garden?"

"I heard Shanglin Garden is reserved for elders from the inner island; we've never stayed here before!"

"They probably moved in without permission. Now they've angered Elder Chai Zhen. This should be interesting."

...

These people had come for the Huang Ling Martial Meet, and they were all astonished to see the Shadow Moon Sect staying in Shanglin Garden.

The Shadow Moon Sect was only mid-to-low tier among True God-level sects; how could they qualify to stay in Shanglin Garden?

They must have moved in without permission, and Chai Zhen found out, hence his fury.

Chai Zhen was known for his hot temper, so they all watched with a sense of schadenfreude.

Slap!

Chai Zhen threw the list directly at Xu Yan's face, showing no respect for him as a True God realm elder, and said coldly: "What offense? See for yourself! That kid named Ye Yuan treats the Divine Temple like his own Shadow Moon Sect? Opening his mouth, he asks for hundreds of fifth-grade spirit medicines—what a big appetite! And who do you think you are, daring to stay in Shanglin Garden? Now! Immediately! Right now! Get the hell out!"

Xu Yan picked up the list and his mouth hung open for a long time.

He thought Ye Yuan would just ask for a few spirit medicines, not hundreds.

Did that kid really think the Divine Temple's spirit medicines were roadside cabbages?

Xu Yan said awkwardly: "This... there must be some misunderstanding. But as for our staying in Shanglin Garden, Elder Du Rufeng said so himself."

Hearing this, Chai Zhen's face darkened: "Xu Yan, are you using Du Rufeng to pressure me? Do you think that in this Huang Ling Sacred Realm, I have to be under his thumb?"

Xu Yan's expression changed, realizing he had misspoken.

He had also heard that this Chai Zhen had a fiery temper.

This was going to be hard to smooth over.

"Brother Chai, calm down. That's not what I meant," Xu Yan quickly said.

Chai Zhen waved his sleeve and snorted: "Whether you meant it or not, now, immediately, right now, get lost! If you're not gone in three breaths, don't blame me for being rude! One!"

Both were True God powerhouses, but Chai Zhen showed Xu Yan no respect and began counting down.

In his eyes, Xu Yan was nothing but a country bumpkin.

Xu Yan's face was extremely ugly; this guy was utterly unreasonable.

Just then, Ye Yuan slowly walked out of Shanglin Garden, looking unconcerned: "Elder Xu, since this elder wants us to move out, let's move out. Oh, and as for those spirit medicines, if they won't give them, fine. Why get so angry?"

Chai Zhen's face darkened: "Are you that kid named Ye Yuan?"

Ye Yuan smiled: "Junior Ye Yuan greets Elder Chai."

Chai Zhen snorted: "A mere disciple of a True God-level sect dares to be so insolent, showing no regard for the Divine Temple! If I don't teach you a lesson today, you'll really think you're some kind of genius!"

With that, Chai Zhen's True God realm aura burst forth, and he reached out to grab Ye Yuan.

Chai Zhen acted without warning, giving Ye Yuan no time to react.

Ye Yuan only felt an overwhelming force pressing down on him.

His expression changed; he hadn't expected this guy to be so unreasonable.

Suddenly, a chubby pink thing emerged from Ye Yuan's bosom and started grunting angrily at Chai Zhen.

Seeing the Treasure Pig, Chai Zhen's expression changed, and he quickly withdrew his hand, exclaiming: "Tre... Treasure Pig!"

The Treasure Pig bared its claws at Chai Zhen, looking furious.

Chai Zhen looked embarrassed and smiled at the pig: "I'm... I'm sorry, I didn't know you were here, Treasure Pig."

The Treasure Pig seemed unappeased, still clawing at Chai Zhen.

Chai Zhen forced a smile: "Alright, alright, I'll leave now! I'll leave now! Um... you can continue staying in Shanglin Garden. Brother Xu Yan, Ye Yuan, please go inside, don't stay out here. The wind outside is strong; mind you don't catch a cold."

"Pfft!"

Bai Li Qingyan, who had been startled when Chai Zhen made his move, was now amused by his turnaround.

Chai Zhen looked awkward, then suddenly remembered something, slapped his forehead, and said as if enlightened: "Oh, right, Brother Xu Yan, give me back the list Ye Yuan made. I'll have it prepared immediately and deliver it to Ye Yuan today!"

Everyone was baffled by Chai Zhen's sudden change.

They were all astonished, wondering what that chubby pink pig was and what connection it had to the Shadow Moon Sect.

Having said this, Chai Zhen turned to leave and spotted Zhu Wen behind him.

Slap!

A crisp slap rang out, followed by Chai Zhen's roar.

"You idiot! Why didn't you tell me the Treasure Pig was here?"
