Villian Appearance

"You're the one bullying a weaker cultivator here, Yue Jang. Just because you couldn't get what you wanted doesn't mean you can take your frustration out on someone else," the voice said, directed towards Yue Jang. The onlookers turned to see who had spoken.

"Huh?" Wang Chen suddenly felt the weight of the pressure lift off him as the voice of the person who spoke against Yue Jang reached his ears.

"Huff, huff," Wang Chen caught his breath and then glanced in the direction of the voice.

The young man who just spoke walked gracefully, his movements almost as fluid as water. He was dressed in a luxurious robe made of the finest silk, dyed in a deep, rich shade of blue. The fabric clung to his figure perfectly, accentuating his toned physique. His eyes were a deep, piercing blue, and his hair was neatly tied back in a simple yet elegant bun. As he walked, people couldn't help but turn their heads to admire his presence, and some even whispered among themselves, wondering who he might be.

One of the people who were guessing his identity spoke up, "Isn't that Su Chen, the number two core disciple and grandson of the Second Elder?"

As Su Chen made his way through the crowd, his followers trailed behind him like loyal servants. They were dressed in similar luxurious gray robes, with their hair styled in neat buns.

Yue Jang's face twisted into an angry scowl. "Stay out of this, Su Chen. It's none of your business," he spat, his voice laced with venom.

Su Chen simply raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement in his eyes. "Oh, but it is my business when someone is being bullied for no reason. I suggest you leave this poor cultivator alone before I make you regret it," he replied coolly, his voice dripping with confidence.

Yue Jang turned to face Su Chen and said, "You think you can just come here and tell me what to do? You have no idea who you're dealing with, Su Chen."

Su Chen raised an eyebrow and replied calmly, "I know exactly who I'm dealing with. Someone who likes to bully weaker cultivators and throw his weight around."

Yue Jang scowled but remained silent as Su Chen continued, "If you want to pick on someone, pick on someone your own size."

Yue Jang was taken aback by Su Chen's boldness, but before he could respond, Su Chen's followers stepped forward, surrounding him.

"You should be careful who you mess with, Yue Jang," said one of Su Chen's followers, a burly man with a scar on his cheek.

Yue Jang's eyes flashed with anger as he looked at Su Chen and his followers. "You may have won this time, Su Chen, but don't think for a second that I'm done with you,"

Yue Jang glared at them, but then his gaze shifted to Wang Chen, who was still catching his breath. "You're lucky today," he said to Wang Chen before turning and leaving with his lackey, Yue Luang, trailing behind him.

As Yue Jang and Yue Luang walked away, the onlookers who had gathered to witness the confrontation between the two parties became disappointed. Many of them had been hoping for a more exciting outcome, perhaps even a full-blown fight. 

But with the tension diffused and the conflict resolved, there was no longer any reason to stay. Slowly, they began to disperse, each one disappointed that they had not gotten the spectacle they had hoped for. 

Su Chen's followers approached Wang Chen, helping him to his feet.

"Are you alright?" one of them asked.

Wang Chen nodded gratefully. "Thank you," he said, looking up at Su Chen.

Su Chen smiled and patted Wang Chen on the shoulder. "No need to thank me,"

Su Chen stepped closer to Wang Chen, a thoughtful expression on his face. "I heard you defeated Yue Mingluan," he said. "I didn't believe it at first, but when I investigated it, I found out that he went to the same place with his friend Ku Lei where you went to complete the mission. When Yue Mingluan returned, he was injured, and from the investigation, I found out that Ku Lei wasn't with him. So, I guess he must have been killed by you."

Wang Chen's eyes widened in surprise at Su Chen's words. He had not expected anyone to know about his fight with Yue Mingluan. "I had no choice but to defend myself," he said, feeling a little defensive.

Su Chen nodded understandingly. "I understand," he said.

"I actually wanted to meet you, to make friends with you. But I didn't expect Yue Jang was already here, trying to bully you. I hope you'll allow me to make amends for his behavior and become friends with me instead. After all, you can't join their faction now."

"Faction ?" Wang Chen asked in confusion.

"Seems like you don't know anything about the sect situation let me enlighten you" 

Su Chen continued, "Our sect is currently in a state of turmoil. Our sect leader is ill, and with no one to control the situation, someone needs to step forward to lead. The Great Elder and Second Elder both have different opinions on how to handle things, so they decided that whoever has more elders and more talented disciples in their faction will become the head of the sect."

He paused for a moment before continuing, "That's why there are now two factions in our sect, and we are all recruiting talented disciples to strengthen our factions. You've already offended Yue Jang, so you can't join his faction. But if you don't join any faction, they could target you again to bully you. That's why I want to invite you to join my faction. We have many talented disciples, and we are confident that we can emerge as the stronger faction."

He looked at Wang Chen, waiting for his response.

"System show me his status!" Wang Chen said to system.
