Now, Yashu had arrived at the big red gate, and the crowd inside Elder Gon's residence area could be heard clearly from outside.
Yashu immediately handed his invitation to the gatekeepers who were dressed all in white, they were all senior disciples, although not the main disciples, their strength is at the intermediate level.
"I've never seen you before, where did you get this invitation?" One of the guards narrowed his eyes probing.
After all, they only needed to look at Yashu's appearance and could easily conclude that Yashu was just a simple young man from a poor family.
Hearing that question, Yashu became a little confused, he didn't even know the name of the beautiful girl who gave him the invitation.
"Why are you silent? Could it be that you stole this invitation from someone else?" Said the guard with a suspicious look.
"What are you guys doing to my special guest?" A soft and deep voice appeared near them.
"Miss? Why are you here?" The guards immediately bowed respectfully, the beautiful girl standing in front of them was none other than Yona, the second disciple of Elder Gon.
"You're late, come on! Come on in, the show has already started." Yona grabbed Yashu's wrist and dragged him inside ignoring the guards.
"Is he a special guest, Miss Yona?" The guards could only stare at each other with confused faces.
Yona also intended to immediately bring Yashu in front of her teacher to introduce him, but before getting there, all attention was directed toward the two of them.
Everyone was wondering about the shabby figure that Yona carried, however, Yashu didn't seem worthy to be by Yona's side.
A few moments later, Yona found her teacher greeting each other with one of the elders with slightly gray hair.
"Greetings to the teacher, greetings to Elder Wen" Yona bowed slightly in respect, but Yashu who was standing next to her just stood still with a straight body as if he didn't care about anything.
Actually, Yashu knew the two elders, but on the other hand, the two elders did not recognize him at all, it was because of his completely different appearance, after all, Yashu had also experienced very good body growth.
"Yona, you're here!" Elder Gon smiled lightly to greet his disciple, but when he turned his attention to Yashu, his smile instantly faded.
"Who is the young man next to you?" continued Elder Gon slightly frowning and displeased.
"Teacher introduces, he is my friend, his name is Hanzo, a new student in our clan." Yona immediately introduced Yashu quickly and enthusiastically.
"New student?" The two elders looked at each other confused, it was the first time Yona introduced a friend to her teacher, but unfortunately, the figure of the friend next to him was completely beyond his teacher's expectations.
But the most dissatisfied of course is Yashu himself, since when has he been friends with Yona? Even so, in the presence of a clan elder, Yashu would not dare to show such discontent.
On the other hand, teacher Wen saw an opportunity, he secretly turned his head in several directions to find his disciple.
"Ken!"
Elder Wen shouted suddenly calling out to his disciple who happened not to be far from where they were.
A handsome young man with blonde hair, tall stature in gold-colored clothes immediately approached.
"Greetings to the teacher, greetings to Elder Gon!" The young man named Ken showed deep respect for the two elders before him, then closed by releasing a charming smile at Yona.
"Brother, you certainly know this one and only disciple of mine, currently he is ranked in the top 10 senior disciples, and some time ago he had received a due diligence invitation from the empire.
I think Yona should be friends with talented youths like my students, besides this can also improve our brotherly ties."
Elder Wen plainly said that in front of Elder Gon, praising his disciple while quipping at Yashu who he thought was just a useless beggar.
Another goal, of course, is to remind Yona to be more selective in choosing friends, however, it will greatly affect the development of her training and her future.
"Ha ha ha!"
A loud laugh suddenly resounded and made the big smile on Elder Wen's face disappear, after he had just humiliated the shabby young man in front of him, and now suddenly the young man was laughing out loud.
"Little friend, is there something funny?" Ken who felt his teacher was being underestimated would became furious, he threw a sharp glare at Yashu.
"Sorry-sorry, looks like my old habit has recurred a bit, I should be able to restrain myself under these conditions… Yona, thank you for the invitation, I don't think I belong here, goodbye!" Yashu responded with a slightly crooked smile, then turned around and walked away.
"Hanzo, wait! You may have misunderstood, teacher and elder Wen didn't mean…" Yona certainly knew the situation, she was fully aware that Yashu was acting like that because of the attitude of Elder Wen who was indirectly trying to embarrass her.
But before Yona could finish speaking, his teacher tapped her on the shoulder to stop her.
"But, teacher…?"
"Yona you should stay away from people like him, this is for your good." Elder Gon continued to remind his favorite disciple while shaking his head.
Meanwhile, Ken could see Yona's caring attitude towards the shabby young man, he became even more annoyed, however, since the first time he saw Yona, Ken was immediately fascinated by her.
"Little friend, it seems you can't just leave, how about we have a match to enliven this event!" Said Ken who challenged Yashu while releasing a playful smile.
After all, he would not let the shabby young man off the hook after daring to underestimate his teacher and take Yona's attention.
Yashu who got the challenge stopped his steps and slightly turned sharply towards Ken.
"Hehe!" Feeling successful, Ken slightly licked his lips.
"Teacher, Elder Gon? Would you mind if we had a simple fight?" Ken continued to put on a face full of enthusiasm.
The two elders who heard this could only remain silent with slightly dumbfounded faces, they were still a little annoyed by Yashu's previous attitude, but they can't teach the younger generation a lesson, especially when they are in such an event.
But unlike the case of battles between students, they are of course free to show their abilities in front of people, it was a common occurrence at tea banquets or the like.
"Well, no problem, if he dares to accept your challenge!" Elder Gon only nodded lightly.
"Teacher!" After getting permission from Elder Gon, Ken is now staring at his teacher intently, hoping to get permission from him.
"Mmm, but I suggest you don't overdo it, it will only make you look like a ruthless villain." The teacher's words were meant to mock Yashu.
"Wait, Ken brother, it seems there is no need for something like this to be done." Yona tried to stop the fight that was about to happen, although she knew Ken was one of the geniuses within the clan. But, she also knew Yashu's power was immeasurable.
If the fight did happen, Yona could imagine it wouldn't be a simple fight like the two elders near his had anticipated.
