The Dragon Warrior Pair
DWP 55: Rejected As Outer Pupils And Inside Pupils

“Pardon me, Brother Ye Long. It's my duty to take care of Yang. If your motives are unclear, then it is better to leave from here. Tonight Yang Ferreri will train with me to be ready to fight in the round of sixteen.” Ye Xiaoya was indeed jolted in shock, but Jing Yang was her student. A disciple he hoped would be able to break through Tradition.

“I want to take Junior Jing Yang to be an inner disciple, Nine Dragons Palace.” Ye Long said with an awkward smile and apologized because his invitation was too disrespectful.

“Murids? Sorry, Yang Mer has become my disciple, although he still has unfulfilled conditions. But I won't let you take this student of mine. Tell me, what's your purpose in asking Yang Yang di?” Ye Xiaoya looked at Ye Long with a probing and incredulous look.

“Actually I want to show Junior Jing Yang to the Great Dragon Elder. I feel like he has a chance to become an inner disciple, even the Young Dragon Elder.” Ye Long explained a little of the reason for wanting to bring Jing Yang to Sheng Long's place.

“Tonight I have brought two disciples who have reached the holy warrior. One of them, Gao Zhimao who had been in the Dragon Sword Pavilion. All the Elders of the Nine Dragons had gathered and were waiting for the arrival of Junior Jing Yang.” Ye Long added.

The most surprised Murong Qiaomi and Ye Xiaoya heard it. While Murong Liuyu and Chi Rong were also no less surprised because the Nine Dragons Elder was interested in Jing Yang.

‘Brother Jing Yang..’ Qiao Xi was deep in his heart. She saw Jing Yang was a different person from the men she used to meet. Every single thing that Jing Yang had done had unknowingly made Qiao Xi fall for him.

“Brother Ye Long. I will be with Sister Xiaoya to accompany Yang di Berserang. Can you fulfill this request?” Murong Qiaomi felt this was a golden opportunity to make Sheng Long side with him.

“Of course you can, Sister Murong Qiaomi with Teacher from Jing Yang came to accompany.” Without a second thought Ye Long responded to Murong Qiaomi's request.

Ye Xiaoya looked at Murong Qiaomi. Both seem to have the same idea. Then the two of them walked with Jing Yang towards the Dragon Sword Pavilion led by Ye Long.

Jing Yang still could not believe that he would be summoned to the Dragon Sword Pavilion. On the way he ignored the gazes of the swordsman who met him. Jing Yang realized there was a warrior who did not like the closed left eye.

According to the Black Spirit, the scar on Jing Yang's left eye could heal if he was able to use the potential of the Black Spirit's power. Especially after he opened the healing gate. The scar on his left eye gradually disappeared. It's just that he hasn't been able to open his left eye completely.

“Do not mind them. People like them you better ignore. Can only envy and demean others, it is a loser who usually only has a big mouth.” Ye Xiaoya squeezed Jing Yang's hair and smiled faintly at Jing Yang who looked calmer.

The Dragon Sword Pavilion was a place with a majestic building. Around the gate were heavily guarded warriors of the Nine Dragons Palace. All the warriors on guard paid their respects to Ye Long.

“Mari in..” Ye Long invited Murong Qiaomi, Ye Xiaoya and Jing Yang into the Dragon Sword Pavilion.

A huge door that could only be opened using force in astonished Jing Yang. The diamond-like door caught his attention. Seeing the door made Jing Yang think that the Nine Dragons Palace had a rich history in the past.

After Ye Long opened the door. Seven people were sitting on a golden bench, while a warrior named Gao Zhimao was crouching facing the Nine Dragons Elder.

Murong Qiaomi, Ye Xiaoya and Jing Yang paid their respects to the Nine Dragon Elders. Then Jing Yang was led by Ye Long to stand beside Gao Zhimao.

“Sorry, we borrowed your student for a while, Sister Murong Qiaomi.” The man named Huo Long who served as the Flame Dragon Elder greeted Murong Qiaomi.

“Sorry for interrupting Senior's words. That's not an item, so don't ever say borrow if you only mean to offend me.” Murong Qiaomi stared fiercely at the red-haired man wearing the black robe with the red dragon emblem engraved on the robe he was wearing.

“As usual, you are very fierce..” Huo Long did not want to argue any further because she did deliberately want to tease Murong Qiaomi.

“I heard Junior Jing Yang is a student of Sister Ye Xiaoya. Is that true?” It was now the man named Shui Long who asked Ye Xiaoya.

“True. The one who is my student.” Ye Xiaoya answered quickly and stared intently at the man wearing a black robe with the blue dragon emblem.

“How about we just go straight. Two geniuses who had reached the holy swordsman. We do a vote on the young man named Jing Yang to prove whether he is worthy of being the Young Dragon Elder.” The man with arrogant gestures seemed to dislike the presence of Murong Qiaomi spoke up.

‘Wang Zhi's. I heard from Sister Qiaomi if this person is one of the Nine Dragons Elders that is worth investigating and suspecting.’ Ye Xiaoya was deep in her heart after seeing firsthand Wang Zhi's demeanor.

”How is the Great Elder?” Ye Long politely asked Sheng Long who closed his eyes and did not seem to respond to the words of the other elders.

“Live only. It is not appropriate at this time. That's my answer.” Sheng Long's words made the entire Nine Dragons Elder flinch in shock.

‘It was the first time I heard the Great Dragon Elder say it was not appropriate. For decades he always said inappropriate. But this.’ The man named Zhu Huazhi with a neat grooming and looking like a female looked seriously at Jing Yang.

“I didn't accept it. I think Gao Zhimao is more promising than this young man.” Zhu Huazhi rejected Jing Yang to become the Young Dragon Elder.

“Tua Hakim Naga, it is too soon to decide which of them will be the Young Dragon Elders. It all depends on them.” The man named Feng Long reprimanded Wang Zhi. The man who served as the Earth Dragon Elder rebuked Wang Zhi who was being disrespectful to Jing Yang who had come with Murong Qiaomi and Ye Xiaoya.

“We'll see who this year's participants will get the chance to try to draw the Dragon God Sword. Don't you assume the Nine Dragons Palace has to quickly find a new elder then it will only tarnish the rules of our ancestors.” Now the Heavenly Dragon Elder, Tian Long, was reprimanding Wang Zhi.

“Then, I want to make this Junior Jing Yang an inner disciple. Can the Elder Judge grant my request?” Ye Long boldly tried to ask Wang Zhi about his desire to make Jing Yang an inner disciple of the Nine Dragons Palace.

“Don't be an inner disciple, he became an outer disciple only I won't accept him!” Wang Zhi arrogantly rejected Ye Long's request.

Indeed, the Wang Zhi family ancestor always filled the seat of the Dragon Judge Elder so sometimes people like Wang Zhi used his power arbitrarily.

“Absolutely. What are you thinking, Brother Ye Long?” Zhu Huazhi smiled as he covered his mouth wanting to laugh.

Meanwhile Sheng Long still closed his eyes and smiled faintly since Jing Yang had come to enter the Dragon Sword Pavilion. I don't know what Sheng Long was daydreaming about, but that old man didn't care much about Ye Long's request to make Jing Yang a disciple in the Nine Dragons Palace, either, or the request of Wang Zhi that forced him to immediately look for a genius swordsman to charge the still empty Young Dragon Elder.

Seen Huo Long, Shui Long, Feng Long and Tian Long let out a long sigh when they saw Ye Long looking down at the floor.

“You two do not hesitate! I've refrained from being polite but you dare to laugh at me not even respecting the guest I invited in the slightest!” Ye Long released an extremely powerful killing aura towards Zhu Huazhi and Wang Zhi.

“Stop, Ye Long. Don't get consumed by your anger.” A flash of Ye Long instantly suppressed his murderous aura as Sheng Long reprimanded him.

“Maaf—”

“You laugh at me like I begged you to make me your student! I'm sorry, but I have a great teacher. But you disrespected him and you ignored him! I will not be an inner or outer disciple of this sect of yours!” Jing Yang suddenly shouted and stared intently at Ye Long along with the other Nine Dragons Elders.

“I will make you lick your own spit for having dared to humiliate my Master!” Jing Yang stood up and walked through the exit followed by Murong Qiaomi and Ye Xiaoya from behind.

After Jing Yang left the Dragon Sword Pavilion with Murong Qiaomi and Ye Xiaoya. The situation inside the room looks awkward.

“Bold young man. It was only fitting that the Dragon Science Elder was interested in the young man.” Tian Long laughed in surprise at Jing Yang's attitude.

“Only because of someone's attitude, I became hated by young people..” Huo Long laughed and looked at the silent Wang Zhi with an angry look on his face.

The Nine Dragons Palace was indeed the largest neutral sect of the sect. But they have their own problems. The matter was complicated because lately Wang Zhi and Zhu Huazhi had always been arrogant. Both of them had also made the name of the Nine Dragons Palace hated by the white stream warriors many times.

There was one reason why the Great Dragon Elder, Sheng Long, did not dare to touch Wang and Zhu Huazhi, even though the two had gone too far. The grandfathers of Wang Zhi and Zhu Huazhi advised him to look after the two people who now served as the Elders of the Dragon Judge and the Elders of the Dragon Realm.

Sheng Long had been guarding the two ever since they were young. Other than being given a message to guard Wang Zhi and Zhu Huazhi, he still had one very secret message. A message in which he had to kill the two people he had guarded from the young man. Sheng Long would kill Wang Zhi and Zhu Huazhi if the two of them dared to break the rules of the Nine Dragons Palace.

At night the streets of the Nine Dragons Palace were very crowded. Many shops and restaurants are still open. Along the way there are still many warriors who pass by and enjoy the night at the Nine Dragons Palace.

Right now Jing Yang, Ye Xiaoya and Murong Qiaomi were on their way back to the Sepi Wind Inn.

‘If she has the same age as me, maybe I've fallen for her..’ Murong Qiaomi smiled looking at Jing Yang who dared to shout loudly at the Nine Dragons Elder.

“Tua Nine Dragons! Just look I'll make them all respect me!” Ye Xiaoya looked still irritated and grumbled to himself.

“But, I wonder why the Great Dragon Elder just closed his eyes. Did he not dare to reprimand that crazy Judge!” Ye Xiaoya again grumbled and looked even more annoyed.

“Yang, you were so dashing just now. Looks like you were able to make that old geezer glance at you.” Murong Qiaomi unceasingly wanted to laugh from seeing Jing Yang's face go crimson.

“After all I have to win the Nine Dragons Tournament. There's no way back. I won't retract my words.” Jing Yang let out a long sigh and rounded his resolve.

”Yang, where's your money. Let's stop by the diner there. I can smell delicious meat.” Ye Xiaoya extended her hand to Jing Yang.

‘Do not teachers have to give money to their students? Their relationship is exactly like a brother and sister compared to teachers and students.’ Murong Qiaomi looked at Jing Yang who gave money to Ye Xiaoya. Then he laughed softly.
