Cultivation Online novel Chapter 135

Chapter 135 - Unbelievable Rumor

"Just who was that Outer Court disciple? I have never seen him before, nor do I recognize his face! Does anyone here know him?" One of the disciples there suddenly asked out loud.

"No, I have also never seen him around here before, and I come to this place nearly every day!"

"Me neither! I have trained here every day for the past 2 years without missing a single day and I also don’t recognize him!"

Since nobody there recognized Yuan’s identity, they all turned to look at Fairy Min with a questioning gaze.

After a moment of silence, one of them decided to ask her, "Fairy Min, do you perhaps know who that Outer Court disciple was?"

"I don’t know him!" Min Li responded in an irritated voice before standing up and patting her clothes and knees.

Once she’d fixed her appearance, Min Li walked away while resisting the urge to cry, as she’d unintentionally suffered a humiliating defeat by Yuan before so many disciples, which will surely affect her reputation and possibly her family’s face.

Sometime later, once Min Li left the scene, the disciples at the practice area looked at each other and said, "Did you see how dejected Fairy Min looked just now? I think it would be better if we don’t talk about this..."

"Yeah, I think so too. After all, talking bad about Fairy Min is akin to slapping the Min Family in the face, and I don’t want to risk offending one of the Seven Legacy Families."

"Me too! I didn’t see anything here today!"

"Good! Then let’s act as though nothing happened here today!"

However, even if the majority of the disciples there agreed to keep what happened today a secret, there were bound to be a few of them who couldn’t keep their mouths shut and spoke about the event at the practice area to others, which quickly spread throughout the sect as a rumor.

Luckily for Fairy Min, since only a few people spoke about it at first, the other disciples doubted this rumor when they heard it, as it was simply too unbelievable.

"What? Fairy Min lost to some unknown Outer Court disciple in a challenge? That’s outrageous!"

"Some unknown Outer Court disciple managed to destroy a Training Puppet with an ordinary dagger and a Mortal-rank technique— the Flying Daggers technique, no less? How is that possible? You must have been dreaming!"

"There’s no way Fairy Min would lose to some nobody! Quit your bullshit!"

"I am telling you the truth! If you go to the practice area now, you would see many cracked Training Puppets! These damages had been done by that Outer Court disciple!" The disciple that spread the rumors said, feeling slightly annoyed that nobody believed him.

"Do you think I am stupid? Of course, there would be cracked Training Puppets in the practice area! Do you know how many disciples practice there every day? I’d personally cracked one myself after hitting it over 1,000 times in a single day!"

"That’s not what I mean!"
