Chen Yue's intense astonishment was transmitted to the Frozen Rabbit through the mental connection. Then, through the Frozen Rabbit, Meteorite Crystal also knew that Chen Yue's emotions were in intense turmoil. However, due to the simplicity of the mental connection, it could only get a general idea.
After waiting for a while, the impatient little guy opened the subspace and poked its head out.
Among the people coming and going, Chen Yue was just an inconspicuous dot. Moreover, he was well hidden, so no one noticed the unique Meteorite Crystal.
After seeing the enormous teleportation device in front of her, the well-informed Meteorite Crystal was also stunned.
"Really... really amazing. You guys can actually build such a behemoth..."
Chen Yue was also speechless. This huge thing in front of him was really shocking.
"Country bumpkin. One can tell at a glance that it's your first time coming to the association headquarters." At this moment, a sarcastic remark came from the side.
The moment she heard this sentence, Meteorite Crystal reflexively shrank back into the subspace.
With a slight frown, Chen Yue looked in the direction of the voice.
The one who spoke was a man with a somewhat feminine appearance. He was wearing a third-level apostle badge on his chest. Presumably, seeing Chen Yue's shocked look and knowing that Chen Yue was only a second-level apostle, he couldn't help but sneer.
Hearing the feminine man's words, the several apostles around all snickered. Apparently, Chen Yue's level hadn't reached the point where they needed to be cautious. Moreover, taking advantage of the fact that it was his first time at the association headquarters, they didn't hide their disdain in their expressions at all.
However, they forgot that when they first came to the association headquarters, their performance was far worse than Chen Yue's.
"Sure enough, it's the association headquarters. One can casually meet third-level apostles here." Among these people around, most of them were actually third-level apostles. Chen Yue, as a second-level apostle, seemed rather inconspicuous here.
Casually glancing at the feminine man, Chen Yue withdrew his gaze. This place was far from where he could act recklessly at present. Although these people definitely wouldn't be his opponents if there was a real fight, he could only endure it for now.
Of course, if he became a disciple, he wouldn't need to worry. Even at the association headquarters, the number of apostles with positions was extremely small, and these people were just ordinary apostles.
Chen Yue's tolerance undoubtedly boosted the other side's momentum.
Seeing that Chen Yue didn't say anything, the feminine man suddenly became more energetic. After all, this was the association headquarters. Apostles below the third level were extremely rare. Even if there were some occasionally, they usually had powerful backgrounds in the association headquarters and were not people they could afford to offend.
Third-level apostles were at the bottom at the association headquarters. They didn't hold any positions and often suffered some grievances. Over time, their psyches became somewhat distorted, which was why they sneered at Chen Yue when they saw that he seemed to have no background.
"When I first came to the association headquarters, I wasn't as surprised as this country bumpkin, as if I had never seen a teleportation device before..." The feminine man boasted complacently, occasionally spouting insulting words like "country bumpkin" and "ignorant" in his words, blowing his own trumpet to the sky, making it seem that compared to him, Chen Yue was so inferior and so on.
The people around didn't leave immediately either. It was hard to come across such a good show, so how could they bear to miss it? What's more, one or two of them echoed the feminine man and boasted to each other.
Sure enough, apostles who had been suppressed for years were, in a sense, more likely to have distorted psyches than ordinary people.
These few of them didn't leave immediately after the teleportation and stayed by the cantilever. This behavior was rather conspicuous in the square, and soon, many apostles gathered around.
Chen Yue didn't leave because he was unfamiliar with the place and wanted to wait for Vinia and the others to come and find him. Who would have thought that he would get into such trouble.
Hearing the increasingly unpleasant words of the feminine man and others and seeing the increasing number of onlookers looking at him as if they were watching a monkey show, waves also rose in Chen Yue's heart.
Anger surged up.
"Zheng."
Sensing Chen Yue's sudden anger, the Blade Beast suddenly let out a clear cry and seemed a bit restless again.
I don't know if it was because of the addition of Meteorite Crystal in the subspace or because it was sealed, but the Blade Beast preferred to stay outside. So Chen Yue didn't take it back into the subspace. He just had a custom-made scabbard to cover its rather flamboyant blade. As long as the life aura was turned off, it wouldn't be very conspicuous.
However, at this moment, it was obviously irritated and let out a clear cry in response to the anger in Chen Yue's heart.
"Are you guys just looking for trouble?"
Looking coldly at the feminine man and the others, when Chen Yue opened and closed his eyes, his gaze was as sharp as a knife. The feminine man and the others felt as if they had been cut by a knife, and they were extremely horrified in their hearts. Subconsciously, they took a few steps back.
When they came to their senses, the faces of the feminine man and the others had already turned red with embarrassment.
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
The onlookers didn't have the same feeling as them. Although the clear cry of the Blade Beast made them a bit curious, they didn't think much about it. They just looked at the feminine man and the others with contempt in their eyes.
They were actually scared away by just a look and a word from a second-level apostle. How embarrassing!
From the eyes of the onlookers, the feminine man and the others read such a meaning.
"Damn it." Cursing a few times harshly, feeling that he had lost a lot of face, the feminine man suddenly took a step forward, looked at Chen Yue with a cold smile and said, "Country bumpkin, what do you mean? Are you looking for death?"
This little guy is going to be in trouble.
Looking at the murderous face of the feminine man, many of the onlookers couldn't bear it. Although fighting was not allowed casually at the association headquarters, and killing each other was even more prohibited, it was inevitable that he would suffer a bit.
Second level against third level, there was no suspense at all.
The gap in levels was also the source of the feminine man's confidence.
"Do I look that easy to bully?" Rubbing his forehead with some headache, Chen Yue thought helplessly, but his gaze didn't show any sign of retreating.
If it's a fight, then so be it.
"Huh."
At the tense moment when the situation was on the verge of breaking out, a surprised voice suddenly came from the sky. Chen Yue immediately felt a scorching gaze fall on him.
"Hmm?" Just as Chen Yue was about to look up, he saw a blur in front of his eyes, and a burly figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
This was a man who looked extremely tall and strong. Generally, apostles had relatively slender figures, but this man was obviously an exception. Moreover, there was a pair of huge blood-red light wings fluttering behind the man, which looked very extraordinary. However, the most eye-catching thing was neither the man's muscular body nor the dazzling blood-red light wings, but the apostle badge on his chest.
"Fifth level, and he's a deacon. This guy..." Chen Yue's eyes narrowed.
After landing, the blood-red light wings behind the man suddenly vibrated and scattered into countless light spots that disappeared. And his gaze immediately fell on the Blade Beast in Chen Yue's hand, with a puzzled look in his eyes.
"Someone from the Sky Palace..." Among the onlookers, someone exclaimed in a low voice. Immediately, everyone seemed to be under a silence spell and lost their voices. It could be seen how extraordinary this man's origin was. In fact, there was no need to mention his origin. Just his identity as a deacon was enough to make anyone impressed.
As soon as he appeared, the man dominated the scene and intimidated everyone. Everyone became a bit tongue-tied, and the feminine man and the others were like eggplants beaten by frost. Their previous arrogance had long disappeared.
His gaze lingered on the Blade Beast for a long time, and slowly a look of understanding appeared in his eyes. Then he looked up at Chen Yue's face. The moment he saw Chen Yue's face, the man's expression changed:
"So young..."
Looking at Chen Yue with some disbelief, the man's expression changed several times, and finally, he showed a kind smile and said with a smile, "Sir, did you come to the association headquarters with a certain lord?"
"Sir..."
The moment they heard the man's voice, almost all the apostles among the onlookers had the same thought in their minds: "Is this lord talking to that second-level apostle?"
This, this was impossible. A deacon from the Sky Palace was actually treating a low-level apostle so kindly. This was simply unimaginable.
What on earth was this guy's origin?
In an instant, everyone looked at Chen Yue as if they were looking at a monster. Of course, Chen Yue had long been immune to such gazes and could bear them. Of course, he didn't understand why the man was being so kind either.
"Replying to your lordship, I'm following Lord Vinia, the deacon, to the association headquarters for the disciple trial," Although he had doubts, Chen Yue still replied respectfully.
"Disciple trial..." Hearing Chen Yue's words, the people around were even more surprised than when they heard the man being so polite to Chen Yue just now. Although it was the lowest level among the apostle positions, it was already something that most of the people present longed for but couldn't obtain. What's more, among the disciples, some could become masters of one side.
Thinking of this, they all looked at Chen Yue with great envy.
The feminine man and the others felt their calves cramping and wished they could immediately fall to the ground, foam at the mouth, and pretend to be idiots, as if this had never happened. They were extremely remorseful in their hearts.
"So it's Vinia. That's no wonder. Hehe, we're all on the same side," The man seemed to know Vinia and became even more enthusiastic at this moment. He looked Chen Yue up and down carefully but didn't see that he was carrying any props or a space ring. With a frown, he threw out a colorful bead that landed in Chen Yue's palm.
"Vinia is really careless. Since we've met, it's fate. I'll give this to you. It'll be helpful for your trial. I still have things to do, little guy. If you have any problems in the future, feel free to come to the Sky Palace to find me." The man seemed to be in a hurry. Originally, he stopped because the Blade Beast had caught his attention. At this moment, he naturally didn't pay attention anymore. After hurriedly saying a few words, he summoned the pair of blood-red light wings again and flew upward with a flap.
However, he quickly turned back and solemnly warned:
"By the way, I'll remind you. You'd better not use anger to urge it too often..."
With a start in his heart, Chen Yue nodded solemnly. Although the man didn't say it explicitly, Chen Yue knew that he was referring to the Blade Beast. Originally, after the Blade Beast rushed to three stars and got out of control by relying on anger, Chen Yue had suspected that the way of using it was wrong. At this moment, hearing the warning from this obviously extraordinary and powerful deacon, he naturally responded seriously.
After saying this, the man didn't stay any longer. He soared into the air. In the sky above, there were more than ten other apostles with huge light wings waiting for him. After joining them, the group immediately flew towards the other side of the teleportation device and soon disappeared.
"Uh, this guy said Vinia was careless. It seems that he's not much better himself," After seeing the man off, Chen Yue suddenly realized a problem. The man didn't even leave his name.
However, this was a small problem. After examining the bead given by the man carefully and not finding anything unusual, Chen Yue didn't care and put it away carefully.
Straightening his body slightly, Chen Yue swept his gaze around indifferently. None of the many apostles among the onlookers dared to look him in the eye. After a few awkward smiles, they all quickly slipped away. Soon, the large group of people disappeared completely. Even the feminine man and the others slipped away in the crowd.
Of course, Chen Yue didn't really mean to cause trouble for them. Now was not a good time to create extra problems.
After this episode, having met a powerful apostle and obtained a prop with unknown specific functions, Chen Yue was satisfied. The only dissatisfaction was that he didn't know how long he would have to wait here for Vinia and the others.
Fortunately, it didn't take long before Vinia and the others came to find him.
