Chapter 277 - - 275 who doesn’t come is a grandson_1

—————✧✧✧✧—————

It was as if someone had hit the pause button, and the lively group chat suddenly went silent.

No one responded to Duge.

Is the Cultivation World also this unfriendly to newbies?

Is this workplace discrimination?

Since you discriminate against newbies, don’t blame me for not being polite.

Duge chuckled and retyped, “I don’t mean to look down on anyone, but in my eyes, all of you here are trash. Inviting you to dinner was a sign of respect, but since you don’t want face, I might as well challenge each of your sects one by one. Actually, forget that, going to each sect one by one is too much hassle. Just give me an address, I’ll allow you all to come at me together.”

As soon as these words came out.

The group that had just been quiet instantly erupted.

“Who the hell is this guy, so arrogant?”

“Daoist Suwen just took on such a thing, everyone is looking for the Heavenly Demon, why cause more trouble?”

“Poor Daoist Suwen, his life’s reputation tarnished by a disciple at the end.”

“Little junior brother, what are you doing?”

“This tone, just like what he said when he confronted the fans yesterday. Couldn’t he be possessed by the Heavenly Demon?”

“Little junior brother, stop talking nonsense and apologize to everyone.”

“Doesn’t seem like a possession by the Heavenly Demon, although they have some Divine Skills, their powers are too weak to dare challenge so many of us.”

“What if it’s something like ‘bravery’ or ‘recklessness’? Anyway, it’s pretty abnormal…”

“If it’s the Heavenly Demon, showing off power to ordinary people is more effective, why come after us, isn’t that asking for death?”

“Do you think all Heavenly Demons are smart? They’re stupid, yesterday Cheng Yu was already showing off to ordinary people.”

“Then it’s quite possible he’s really possessed by the Heavenly Demon, looks like Daoist Suwen has made a mistake this time.”

“Gentlemen, my little junior brother might not have meant it, I apologize on his behalf to everyone…”

Feeling his attributes surge, Duge looked at the name of the person who kept calling him little junior brother—Clear Heart temple’s Yu Ming.

He paid no attention to so-called senior brother Yu Ming.

Continuing to type provocatively, “Don’t tell me you’re so scared by me that you don’t even dare to share an address?”

“Damn, I’ve got a fiery temper. Dragon Bay Club, Tongshan City, tomorrow night at eight, whoever doesn’t come is a coward.”

“We’ll go together, we’ll go together.”

“Let’s join forces and beat the Heavenly Demon back to its original form.”

“Alright, deal, whoever doesn’t go is a coward,” Duge chuckled and typed another line.

…

No sooner had Duge sent the message.

A private message popped up, from the senior brother Yu Ming from the group chat: “Little junior brother, have you gone mad?”

“Senior Brother Yu Ming, I am not mad.”

“Do you know who’s in the group? People from Heavenly Master mountain, Dragon Tiger Gate, and also Mount Lao, Quanzhen, Luo Family, Zhang Family, Bai Family… isn’t each of them bigger than Clear Heart temple? With one sentence you’ve offended half the Cultivation World, do you still want to mix in the Cultivation World?”

“Only half the Cultivation World?”

“Half the Cultivation World? Do you even want to take on the whole Cultivation World?” Through the screen, Duge could feel Senior Brother Yu Ming’s fury.

“Senior brother, don’t worry, there’ll be a day for that,” Duge replied.

“Is that what I’m talking about? Cheng Yu, do you know how much trouble this will cause for our master? This isn’t your entertainment circle, don’t mess around,” Yu Ming typed quickly.

“Defeat them, and Master will naturally have no more trouble, and moreover, he’ll be respected. Senior brother, I’m not fighting this battle for myself, but for Master, for Clear Heart temple. I won’t allow them to look down on Master,” Duge said.

“Where did you see that they look down on our master?” Yu Ming was stunned by Duge’s logic.

“I offered to take them out to dinner and no one responded, it’s because they look down on Master. If I came from Dragon Tiger Mountain, would they refuse my dinner invitation?” Duge asked.

Yu Ming fell silent.

At that moment, he too began to doubt whether his master had made a mistake. Perhaps Cheng Yu was already possessed by the Heavenly Demon.

“Senior brother, you need to learn to see the essence through the appearance,” Duge continued to type.

Ultimately, Yu Ming still firmly believed that their master wouldn’t make a mistake, and patiently advised, “Junior brother, have you considered how much trouble it would bring to Clear Heart Temple if you were defeated? We are not proficient in combat to begin with, and besides, you’ll be challenging so many people at once. These people have already pegged you as the Heavenly Demon; they will not hold back.”

“Them? Do you not believe in me, or do you not believe in Master’s judgment? Brother, it’s not that I look down on you, but if you were more competitive, Clear Heart Temple wouldn’t have fallen to this state,” Duge asked.

“?” Yu Ming sent a question mark, feeling that it was somewhat impossible to communicate with this junior brother who had just descended the mountain.

He meant well to solve the issue, but why was he being dragged into this as well?

Who is not competitive?

And besides,

Clear Heart Temple lives in harmony with the world, when have we ever cared about these false reputations? Even if it’s time to step up, it’s not the place for someone who just joined the temple a day ago!

“Don’t worry, Brother Yu Ming, I won’t smear Clear Heart Temple’s name. I’ll show that bunch of trash what a real cultivation genius is,” Duge said with a smile, ending his sentence and then cleanly took a screenshot of the conversation and posted it to the group chat. Following that, he sent another message, “Whoever doesn’t show up is a coward!”

“Damn, that’s arrogant. I can’t stand it anymore, I want to go beat him up right now.”

“Tonight at eight, I’ll go first, no one better try to steal my spot.”

“I’m taking the lead.”

…

Duge smiled, ignoring the group chat that exploded once again, promptly set his messages to do-not-disturb, and even disregarded his concerned Brother Yu Ming.

If you’re going to be prejudiced, be thoroughly prejudiced. Why not discriminate against your own brothers? Adapting to them using normal methods is too slow.

In the simulation arena, examinees are causing ruckus everywhere, and in modern society, leveling up attributes is quick, so it’s time to make friends on the schedule. He will show those making trouble in the simulation arena what it means to be senior.

…

On the trip back to Tongshan City,

Zhao Hongmei asked, “Xiao Yu, have you really learned genuine skills from Daoist Suwen? Will you still be involved in the entertainment industry?”

“Of course,” Duge replied while browsing on his phone, nodding affirmatively, “Cultivation is inseparable from the secular world; it’s called ‘worldly experience refines the heart.’ Besides, with Daoist arts and martial skills, my movies and albums are sure to be huge hits in the future, and my fame will only grow.”

Zhao Hongmei’s eyes lit up, then dimmed again, “Xiao Yu, the world has never known about Immortal Law and martial arts. If you flaunt them so openly, might the government not permit it?”

“It’s fine, who takes movies seriously?” Duge said with an unconcerned smile, scrolling through a popular short video app and coming across a minor internet celebrity ‘Confession Brother’, who was known for seeking people out to confess to. He mentally noted the celebrity’s persona.

To ordinary people, Confession Brother is just a small internet celebrity who gains traffic in a unique way.

But in Duge’s eyes, in the past two days, anyone acting out of the ordinary and rising to rapid fame should first be marked as an examinee, and he couldn’t be wrong.

To the examinees, modern society is definitely a friendly world.

As long as one doesn’t randomly get a particularly difficult keyword like “slaughter” or “brutal,” any keyword can present opportunities for rapid growth.

Even “Gluttony” can disguise as a food lover in this world;

“Sickly Cute” can quickly gather a large following;

That net celeb suspected of ‘abuse’ who maltreats cats, if he changes direction and finds some masochists for irregular performances on improper sites, can still attract worshippers, and may even become a sect hierarch;

“Flirty,” “Licentious,” “Holy Mother,” “Poison Tongue,” “Vulgar,” “Sleazy,” “Honest”…

Any keyword can find its place in the real world.

Compared to the feudal, information-blocking ancient world, the inclusiveness of modern society is too strong; it’s genuinely a world of demons dancing in chaos, all well-hidden.

Zhao Hongmei fell silent again. If she didn’t know about the existence of another world, or if Cheng Yu hadn’t learned true skills from Daoist Suwen, she could still continue packaging Cheng Yu herself, pushing him toward the position of a top-tier star.

But now, not even she could convince herself, and she didn’t even know if she should report Cheng Yu’s situation to President Wu.

With Cheng Yu’s current abilities, he was truly free to come and go as he pleased, and the company’s contracts could no longer confine him.

Moreover,

If, as Cheng Yu says, demons are running rampant throughout the world, then the prospects of entertainment companies are also worrying!

Such a headache!

But no matter what, things that should proceed must go on. The press conference has been set, and we can’t just stand up the reporters.

Moreover, opportunities and risks coexist.

If things like the Heavenly Demon really bring that miraculous underworld to the forefront, having someone like Cheng Yu in the company might turn out to be a good thing…
