Chapter 4 - Arrogance

After leaving yan chamber when Advait walking in street he collided with arrogant young master.

"Sorry," Advait immediately apologized after the collision.

But the young man was far from forgiving. He shouted in anger, his veins bulging. "Who dares to bump into me?!"

Advait simply observed the young man, thinking that perhaps he was just hurt.

"Who are you? Why did you bump into me?" the young man demanded, his voice filled with rage.

Advait sighed, knowing that he had encountered another person with an inflated ego. These people sometimes sought out fights to prove their superiority.

"It was an accident. The crowd on the path made it difficult to avoid," Advait replied nonchalantly, with little regard for formalities.

However, the reactions of the bystanders were stunned. They gasped when they heard Advait answer the youngster nonchalantly, even slight formalities were neglected.

"He must be crazy," said one onlooker. "That's Felip Cai. He's dead since he answered him."

"What a pity," said another. "That crazy and expensive robe will be confiscated, I bet. Felip Cai is known for making people naked as a way to humiliate them."

"Who would dare offend the son of a renowned tycoon?" added another. "His family has a lot of influence these days."

Advait shifted his gaze back to Felip Cai after overhearing the gossip. He was a rich-looking young man, with flamboyant garments that screamed wealth.

But for Advait, that didn't matter. He just wanted to get this over with.

People who are proud often exhibit arrogance, and their confidence can be closely tied to this behavior. The young man Advait was facing had a mix of pride and confidence. Knowing that no one could touch him in this place, he felt free to shout whenever he wanted.

"Listen, I don't care who you are," Advait began. "I already apologized, and it was sincere. If you're looking for trouble, it's better to leave before..." He trailed off, remembering that he didn't like bullying the weak.

"Bastard," Felip spat. "I don't care if you're from a wealthy family too. Look at yourself. Your garments are different, so I bet you're a foreigner from some other region. You'd better kneel before me, or I'll kill you."

Advait preferred not to bully those who were weaker than him, but his actions would depend on the perceived strength of the person he was dealing with. But it didn't matter, as he didn't want trouble, so he kept his cool.

"I don't care," Advait said, a hint of irritation in his voice. "I already apologized. My job is done."

"This guy is sick!" someone shouted. "He's offending someone from the Cai family!"

He's done for," said another. "I wouldn't even dare to look at Felip's eyes, but this strange guy is looking at him fiercely!"

"What's going to happen to him? Will he die right now?" someone else added to the chorus of gossip.

Advait sighed, ignoring the chatter, but he couldn't ignore the situation completely.

"Wait. Is it just me, or is something wrong with my senses?" someone in the crowd said. "I can't feel any Qi from him!"

"Now that you mention it, I can't feel any Qi from him either!" another chimed in.

"Dumbass, he's a mortal. Just shorten your words," someone else said.

Obviously they can't sense Qi in his body becuse he mask his Qi with his mana after leaving the yan chamber becuse it's his habits to conceal his energy where it's Qi or Mana. Unfortunately in world of cultivator if you concel your Qi so people think you are nothing but week mortal of course it's happens in this lower world when you go higher world people's of that place know that never believe even if you see it your eye.so that meaning people don't give you any form of respect after all powerful cultivator show thier strength for recognition and respect.

Before he could move, Advait sighed once more. But Felip Cai was insistent, demanding that Advait kneel again.

"Where are you going?" Felip yelled irritated. "I said, kneel!"

Advait raised an eyebrow and looked down at Felip's feet. Then he looked back up at Felip.

"Why would I?" he sneered. That prompted another explosion of words from the onlookers.

"He's crazy," they said.

"Yup, crazy!"

"Felip Cai is in the Core Formation realm 3rd stage. There's no way a mortal like him can face his rage."

Although there was pity in their voices, no one dared to intervene in the scene. Advait, with a teasing grin on his face, thought of a brilliant idea. He wanted to tease Felip by acting as if he were an expert, even though he knew that people who could fly were regarded as such.

"Make me," Advait said with a smirk

Felip, already enraged, became even more so when he saw Advait's eerie grin. A few seconds later, violent energy burst forth from Felip's body, exposing his cultivation base. However, Advait wasn't intimidated and merely nonchalantly observed Felip's outburst.

"Very well," Advait said and attempted to emit some of his killing intent. An invisible pressure exploded from his body, almost taking the breath away from the onlookers. But since Felip was protected by his energy, he didn't feel any pressure from Lucas.

"Bad luck for me, I guess," Advait said with a shrug when he realized that his killing intent had no effect.

Felip, incensed, exclaimed, "You will know my name! NO ONE DARES OPPOSE THE CAI FAMILY!" and rushed at Advait with a fist in the air.

Advait, calm and collected, chanted a spell to strengthen his body. [Strengthen] he said, and his bones lit up with mana, increasing his physical strength to the next level. Advait opened his arms and caught Felip's fist with ease, much to the surprise of both Felip and the audience.

Advait swung Felip's fist to the side and Felip's buttocks hit the ground with a thud. "I don't practice arrogance," Advait said in a low tone. "Because if I did, anyone who offended me from my world would live in chaos, even those innocents."

Advait smiled and shook his head, regretting his brief moment of arrogance. He had broken the promise he made to himself to remain peaceful and confident but not arrogant.
