Chen Wangjie trembled in fear as he looked at the angry Vice-Sect Master.
He had never expected the small prank he played on the junior brother to turn out this way. This was the reason he hadn't beaten up the junior brother in the first place.
While dealing with direct disciples wasn't that much different from dealing with ordinary disciples in the heat of the moment, the real headache came from dealing with the aftermath.
His anger had landed him in hot water a few times when he had beaten up one direct disciple of an elder or the other. Even then, he knew what level of heat he could handle.
That's why when he saw that the junior brother was the direct disciple of the Vice-Sect Master he decided not to beat him up and be circumspect in his revenge. But, who knew that even that could backfire like this?
