Chapter 1658: Elder Gong appears
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ye Wanwan reeled from shock when she heard everyone’s discussion.
Her freebie master… was actually Worriless Nie’s first teacher at Scarlet Flames Academy…
Didn’t that mean… Elder Gong was actually her master?!
Ye Wanwan also heard people mentioning how her departure back then afflicted too great a blow to Elder Gong. Furthermore, Nie Linglong continued to break every record that Worriless Nie created, causing Elder Gong’s archenemy to belittle him and step above him…
Ye Wanwan’s veins bulged on her forehead. Back then, she actually brought a thankless wretch home who kept everyone in the dark.
“What elder’s disciple, a load of bullsh*t! Take her away for a detailed investigation,” an exceptionally good-looking woman said after a glance at Ye Wanwan as she slowly walked toward them with an indifferent expression.
Several high-ranked mercenaries were astonished by the woman’s appearance.
Meng Ke—Scarlet Flames Academy’s new superstar and prodigy. Shortly after entering the academy, she completed two S-rank missions. She was the pearl of the Meng family’s patriarch and was accepted as a personal disciple by Elder Gong’s archenemy. Furthermore, she was Scarlet Flames Academy’s new legend and Nie Linglong’s direct junior sister!
Ye Wanwan turned to Meng Ke. She saw this girl before when she participated in the entrance examination; she was an extremely conceited and prideful person.
Meng Ke glanced at Li Hanfeng but didn’t start a conversation.
“Why are you just standing around? Arrest her and interrogate her severely,” Meng Ke said aloofly.
Zhang Da sneered and was about to instruct the enforcers to act when an expressionless elderly man wearing a brocade shirt suddenly appeared.
“Master…”
Li Hanfeng hastily walked forward and reverently greeted Elder Gong as he bowed at Elder Gong.
“En.” Elder Gong glanced at Li Hanfeng and made a noise in response.
“D*mn… this elderly man is… Elder Gong? One of four great elders at Scarlet Flames Academy, an old legend of Scarlet Flames Academy, Worriless Nie’s first teacher…?”
“I’ve heard about the four great elders, but I’ve been at Scarlet Flames Academy for so long and have never seen them once…”
“For a D-rank mercenary like you, you would need to burn some incense to even see an elder’s disciple! But you want to see an elder?!”
Some veteran D-rank mercenaries wildly conversed after seeing Elder Gong.
“D*mn! This junior sister can’t really be Elder Gong’s disciple, right?!”
“I think it’s impossible!”
“Strange, Elder Gong has been terribly suppressed by his archenemy these past few years due to his disciples, so why would he accept a D-rank mercenary…? Wouldn’t he just be suppressed even more harshly by his archenemy?”
“Elder Gong, why did you come?”
The lead enforcer turned to Elder Gong in surprise.
However, Elder Gong didn’t respond. He looked at the nearby Ye Wanwan and said, “Come here.”
“Okay…”
Ye Wanwan reflexively walked to Elder Gong’s side and called, “Master…”
She couldn’t help examining this seemingly lonely elderly man in closer detail. So he was her master at Scarlet Flames Academy back then…?
Everyone at Scarlet Flames Academy knew about Elder Gong’s fondness for Worriless Nie. It was precisely because of this that Elder Gong was angered to the point of coughing blood when Nie Linglong became his archenemy’s disciple and intentionally broke Worriless Nie’s records.
For some reason, grief weighed down on Ye Wanwan when she looked at the elderly man before her.
“I heard you wanted to apprehend my disciple.” Elder Gong swept his eyes over the enforcers, Zhang Da, and the others, and his aloof voice was akin to thunder.
“Um…”
Zhang Da was shocked and incredulous, and Zhang Zuonian next to him also looked panicked.

Zhang Zuonian never imagined this woman was actually Elder Gong’s disciple.
If he knew Ye Wanwan was Elder Gong’s disciple, he absolutely wouldn’t have provoked her easily.
“Elder Gong, this student really is your disciple?”
The lead enforcer looked at Ye Wanwan with surprise evident in his face.
“Do I need to repeat myself?” Elder Gong aloofly asked while looking at him.
“Elder Gong, that’s not what I meant…”
The lead enforcer shook his head and wanted to say something else but refrained.
Even if Ye Wanwan was Elder Gong’s disciple, it would probably be difficult to protect her completely since she defected.
“Even if she’s an elder’s disciple, she can’t escape from the academy’s punishment after committing an offense like this.”
At that moment, the previously silent Meng Ke expressionlessly interjected.
Elder Gong’s icy gaze landed on Meng Ke. “Young one, are you speaking to me?”
Meng Ke’s brows knitted. She felt like a giant mountain was pressing on her; even breathing was a bit difficult.
“Heh…”
Suddenly, an elderly man in gold robes slowly walked toward them and stopped next to Meng Ke.
When Meng Ke saw the gold-robed elderly man, her expression shifted, and she hastily bowed and cupped her fists. “Master.”
“Greetings, Elder Lei He!”
The enforcers, Zhang Da, and the others all hastily saluted when they saw the gold-robed elderly man.
Zhang Da especially sighed in relief internally.
Elder Lei He was also one of Scarlet Flames Academy’s four great elders. Moreover, he was Elder Gong’s archenemy.
After Worriless Nie disappeared and Nie Linglong enrolled in Scarlet Flames Academy, Nie Linglong became Elder Lei He’s disciple and personally broke every single one of Worriless Nie’s records at Scarlet Flames Academy under Elder Lei He’s guidance, causing Elder Gong to spit out blood from anger.
Especially in the past few years, nearly all of Elder Lei He’s disciples effortlessly suppressed Elder Gong’s disciples.
A cold glint surfaced in Elder Gong’s eyes upon seeing Lei He.
He and Lei He enrolled in Scarlet Flames Academy at the same time when they were young.
Lei He was handsome with a tall build in his youth, and he took advantage of Elder Gong’s absence from the academy one time and defiled his beloved wife.
Elder Gong’s beloved wife felt like she had wronged him and committed suicide not long after.
Yet, Lei He vehemently claimed that it was Elder Gong’s beloved wife who seduced him herself.
The academy and Elder Gong didn’t have any evidence, and Lei He had already become Scarlet Flames Academy’s pillar by that time, so they dropped the matter.
More than 20 years ago, Elder Gong sought Lei He out for revenge after getting drunk and evoked the first of many internal disputes at Scarlet Flames Academy. In the end, Elder Gong couldn’t use his full strength due to his intoxication, and the matter concluded with Elder Gong injured.
“Elder Gong, you’re at least one of Scarlet Flames Academy’s four great elders. Just because your disciple is useless doesn’t mean you can show up yourself and bully my disciple.”
Lei He glanced at Elder Gong and snorted.
“Elder Lei He… Elder Gong’s disciple defected from the academy…” Zhang Da quietly explained.
Lei He smirked when he heard that. “Disciple… Elder Gong, this D-rank mercenary disciple of yours is rather capable… She even dared to do something like defect…”
Defecting was taboo at the academy. Even the headmaster himself couldn’t protect his disciple if his disciple defected from the academy, let alone the mere disciple of an elder.
Following Elder Gong and Elder Lei He’s appearance, the matter was exacerbated and alarmed many of the academy’s higher-ups, including the enforcement council’s president and many elders.
