As soon as he said this, Weston Chai's eyes widened and he quickly shouted at Elder Hu, "Elder Hu, stop talking nonsense. Apologize to Mr. Chen quickly!"
The other elders also pitched in and tried to persuade Elder Hu to stop and apologize. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
What Elder Hu was trying to say was that Fade Chen was secretly duplicating the Cloud Reaching Skill of the clan. In other words, he was trying to accuse Fade of stealing from the clan.
Such an accusation was a sign of suspicion and distrust, and was also a sign of Elder Hu's malice towards Fade. This could easily trigger Fade's anger and spur him to attack the Cloud Clan, explaining why Elder Chai and the others were desperate to stop him.
However, Elder Hu was determined. He looked at Fade and continued, "I would like to ask Mr. Chen to answer my question."
Fade raised an eyebrow and glowered, "If I said I didn't write it down, would you believe me?"
"Humph!" Elder Hu snorted and said, "I don't believe you are not interested in a martial arts
technique of such a high level."
Hearing this, Fade sneered and said, "Since you're already so sure that I've copied the Cloud Reaching Skill, what's the use of asking me?"
"I just want you to admit it yourself!" Elder Hu said.
Fade sneered and said, "Admit it myself? Ridiculous. I'll say it again, I didn't copy the Cloud Reaching Skill. I wouldn't even try to remember it even if I did because it's of no use to me."
"Lies!” Elder Hu berated furiously.
Elder Chai and the others didn't believe Fade either and thought that he was just joking.
Fade snorted and mocked, "Lies? You overestimate yourself. Not just the Cloud Reaching Skill, the entire Cloud Clan is nothing to me."
As soon as he said this, Elder Hu's expression gravened as he reprimanded, "Nonsense, boy. Apologize immediately, or face the Cloud Clan's wrath."
Elder Chai and the others were also equally shocked. Despite feeling that Fade had gone slightly over the line, they knew that they were in the wrong since the one who started it was one of them. They quickly attempted to make up for it.
However, Fade sneered as he threw out a jade amulet towards Elder Hu, "Do you really think that someone like me would need to steal from you?"
"Don't try to fool me with this. You..." Elder Hu glanced at the amulet and said, but was immediately cut off the moment he saw the characters written on it.
Seeing this, Elder Chai and the others immediately came over to take a look and froze in place. They looked at the amulet incredulously, and then at Fade.
No one dared to move a muscle or utter a word. A full 10 seconds later, Elder Chai came back to his senses and handed the amulet to Fade with trembling hands, saying "Mr. Chen, your amulet!"
Fade grabbed hold of the amulet and asked Elder Hu, "Do you have any other questions now?"
Without waiting for Elder Hu to respond, Elder Chai and the others hurriedly waved their hands and said, "No, none at all."
No joke! They clearly knew what the three words "Tianwu Clan" on the jade badge represented in martial arts world.
In the current martial arts world, the four levels of martial arts could be separated into four levels, Heaven Earth, Black and Yellow levels. Currently, their clan Cloud Clan had just regained their place within the Black Level clans, but they were still at the very bottom of the ladder.
Above the Black Level, there were still the Earth and Heaven levels. Earth Level clans could easily dominate an area due to their overwhelming skills and strength. Heaven Level clans would be considered a miracle and spectacle due to their scarcity.
One of the famous Heaven level clan was the Tianwu Clan on Tianwu Mountain.
Yet now, Fade had taken out the jade amulet belonging to the Tianwu Clan apart from demonstrating his strength.
Elder Chai and others immediately knew that he was a disciple of the Tianwu Clan. He had concealed his identity and went down the mountain, killing Feather Gu along the way and returning the booklet to the Cloud Clan. Unfortunately, he was suspected by Elder Hu and was forced to reveal his identity.
Elder Chai and the rest glared angrily at Elder Hu, their eyes full of rage.
Because of his inexplicable suspicion, Fade now had a bad impression towards the Cloud Clan, maybe even resenting them for this. If a disciple of the Heaven Level clans held a grudge towards them, no one would be able to handle their revenge.
After all, for Heaven Level clans, it was easy to destroy the Cloud Clan.
It was only now that they realized why Fade had no intention of stealing the Cloud Reaching Skill from them, and why he had disregarded it as useless.
He was telling the truth.
However, what they didn't know was that although Fade came from Tianwu Mountain, he was not a disciple of the Tianwu Clan. The amulet from the Tianwu Clan was given to him by an old man there when he descended the mountain.
Elder Chai and the others fiercely glared at Elder Hu and shouted, "Elder Hu, apologize to Mr. Chen!"
Elder Hu was discontented and looked annoyed. His face was that of sheer surprise as though he still couldn't believe what had happened. Although he was irritated, the thought of Fade belonging to the Tianwu Clan was just too intimidating. He shuddered and couldn't think of anything else as he knelt in front of Fade and prostrated himself in apologies.
Fade looked at Elder Hu and didn't say anything even though his head was already bleeding profusely. Only then did he say, "Since you asked me so many questions just now, let me ask you something."
"My pleasure, Mr. Chen." Elder Hu's attitude was extremely respectful at the moment.
Fade asked faintly, "Why would you suspect me?"
As soon as he heard the question, Elder Hu's face turned pale.
Elder Chai and the others also noticed and frowned. They had noticed how Elder Hu had treated Fade. Despite being gloomy and uninteresting at times, he wouldn't try to shift the blame onto Fade without any good reason. Yet, he had continued to accuse him even after Fade had displayed his true strength, and even tried to accuse him after that. It was clear that this was too much.
Elder Hu's mouth quivered. He wanted to say something, but then he shut up.
Fade glanced at him coldly and shouted, "What's wrong? Do you really want me to make you answer by force?"
Elder Hu trembled and shook his head. The thought of being forced to admit his wrongdoings by a skilled martial artists like Fade was terrifying. He couldn't stand it and started sobbing while kowtowing on the ground, crying, "I was wrong, I'm sorry!"
"Because, because I actually know Feather!" Elder Hu finally admitted.
