I Am Born With A Silver Spoon -
Chapter 737 Recruiting Disciples
"Oh? Is someone doubting me?"
Master Chen couldn't help but glare at Chen Hao.
At the same time, a number of people in the hall glanced at Chen Hao in surprise.
In the eyes of the crowd, it was a deadly mistake to say those words in a situation like this.
Chen Hao smiled bitterly. Looking at the current state of affairs, it seemed pointless for him to hold back anymore.
He decided that it would be better to express himself in a straightforward manner.
"I'm sorry for being straightforward, Master Chen, but your mysterious techniques are merely tactics. They're useless!" said Chen Hao.
Boom!
His words sparked an uproar amongst the crowd.
Who would have dared to question the master like he did?
He was obviously courting death!
Master Chen's eyelids twitched fiercely.
How could he afford to be embarrassed in front of the crowd?
Especially at a time where he was recruiting new disciples.
At that moment, he stood up slowly.
"Look, Master Chen is about to show off his powers!"
Shen Piaopiao watched excitedly from the side.
Although the young man was evil, he was evidently much stronger than her. Even though they were peers, Shen Piaopiao was not happy with Chen Hao.
At the same time, she wanted to prove to her grandfather that this person, who he had high regard for, was not worthy of his respect at all.
Master Chen's actions captivated the crowd.
"Who's this guy? Is he insane? How dare he question Master Chen?"
"Exactly! This young man is so arrogant. I bet he has no idea how dead he'd be!"
Several of the elderly stood out from the crowd and reprimanded Chen Hao for humiliating Master Chen.
A string of voices scolding Chen Hao could be heard.
"I'm not going to embarrass you, young man. As long as you kneel down and kowtow to me as an apology, you can leave the mountain without being harmed!" Master Chen squinted his eyes and shook his head.
"You're such a forgiving man, master. However, this young man should learn his lesson!" yelled someone from the crowd.
"I'm just being honest. The master that preceded you in this Taoist Temple is the true master. As for you, I'm afraid that your presence is only an insult to the word Dragon!" said Chen Hao casually.
"You're so brazen! It seems like you're going to continue being arrogant if I don't teach you a lesson! Very well then. From this moment onward, you're going to have a hard time leaving this mountain. I'll make sure that you will be rolling down the mountain instead of walking!" Master Chen was furious.
He lifted his hands and a compass with a golden dragon engraved on it appeared in his hands.
He could be seen uttering a spell, and it was a warning!
Suddenly, there were distinct movements in the hall without anyone moving.
The tables and chairs started shaking intensely.
Gosh!
A few of the elders at the scene started to feel the sides of their lips twitching, and their eyes turned red immediately out of pure shock.
"You're such an ignorant young man! You have deeply offended the master, so hurry up and get on your knees!" A few of the elders couldn't help but yell in fear.
Shen Tiangang and the others, who were watching from the sidelines, were shocked when they witnessed Master Chen's tactics.
They were drenched in cold sweat on behalf of Chen Hao.
Chen Hao only smiled bitterly and shook his head when he watched the entire situation unfold. "What's next, Master Chen?" he asked with a smirk.
Beads of sweat started appearing on Master Chen's forehead.
He wanted to cause a bigger scene, but he had already reached his limit. No matter how much he utilized all the skills that he had, he couldn't make the scene any grander. "Is this all you've got?" Chen Hao shook his head.
He lifted his hands slightly, and the compass in Master Chen's hands landed in Chen Hao's palms instead.
Thereafter, Chen Hao uttered a spell in silence.
Boom!
The compass shone brightly all of a sudden, and the entire hall was filled with rays of bright and golden light.
Roar!
The faint image of a huge golden dragon could be seen within the beams of light as it roared.
A hurricane ensued and the atmosphere had taken a different turn.
"Ahh!"
Everyone in the hall screamed in panic.
A few of the elders widened their eyes in fear. It looked as if their eyes could fall out any moment.
Shen Piaopiao covered her mouth with her hands in shock. Everything that was happening before her eyes seemed unbelievable.
"F-F**k!"
Master Chen could not help but limp to the ground, as beads of cold sweat dripped down from his forehead.
The golden light disappeared as Chen Hao's wrists trembled, and everything went back to normal in an instant.
Chen Hao could sense that the compass was merely a simple magic tool with pre-determined commands. When triggered, it could set off several terrifying situations.
Master Chen's Dao-heart was unstable; he could not fully utilize this compass' abilities.
Because of that, he made a fool out of himself.
Chen Hao smiled apathetically as he tossed the compass to the side, glaring at the master indifferently.
"Who gave you the courage to swindle around here?"
Although he was yelling at Master Chen, everyone in the hall trembled when they heard Chen Hao.
"Please don't get mad, master. I-I was instructed to wait for a young man here. Besides, I only did the spell because I was asked to protect the Feng Shui and the incense of the Dragon Mountain!" The master knelt on the ground instantly with a thud.
"Hiss!"
Everyone on the scene took a sharp breath.
"Who are you waiting for?"
Chen Hao had already figured out what was going on.
"Chen Hao. I'm waiting for a young man named Chen Hao!" said Master Chen.
"Who asked you to wait for him?"
"It was Young Miss!"
"What's your name?"
"Li Goudan!" said Master Chen without holding back.
Upon hearing this, everyone was in shock. They glared at Master Chen in anger; at the same time, they looked at Chen Hao admirably, like a God who descended from heaven.
"Get these people off this mountain now!" Chen Hao instructed.
"Yes!" replied Li Goudan. He proceeded to chase the crowd away.
Soon, the only people left in the hall were Shen Tiangang and the rest.
"I have a request from you, master!"
Shen Tiangang was extremely respectful at this moment. He was a dying old man, but he went on his knees with a thud. The middle-aged man followed suit.
Chen Hao looked at him. He didn't hate this old man.
"What's the matter?" he asked.
"My granddaughter might be a little stubborn, but she always had the heart to practice Buddhism. We have been trying to replace a master for her, but to no avail. Today, we have witnessed your power, master. If you don't mind, please take my granddaughter with you. She can be by your side and serve you with anything you need, master!" said Shen Tiangang as tears welled up in his eyes.
"Her?"
Chen Hao frowned.
Gone was the stubborn Shen Piaopiao moments ago. All she had right now was respect and adoration toward Chen Hao.
She went red in her face as soon as she saw Chen Hao frowning.
"No, she's not fit to follow me!"
Chen Hao shook his head.
Shen Piaopiao almost cried out in tears.
"Why not, master?" asked Shen Tiangang agitatedly.
"She has a bad temper. Therefore, I shall not take her in as my disciple!"
Chen Hao waved his hands nonchalantly.
"I can turn over a new leaf! I can let go of my bad temper anytime!" said Shen Piaopiao anxiously.
"You can? Alright, sure. You look like someone who loves to make things difficult for others. Since you're willing to humble yourself down, head to the square and bark like a dog three times," said Chen Hao. "If you can do it well, I'll take you in as my disciple! But if you're not willing to do so, please leave the mountain as soon as possible!"
Chen Hao had a lot on his plate right now, and had no intention to recruit a disciple.
If it wasn't because of the old man kneeling down before him at such an old age, Chen Hao would have never continued the conversation with them.
Hence, he could only persuade this girl to retreat on her own.
Shen Piaopiao considered his request for a moment. Little did anyone know, she got up and ran toward the square in the next minute...
