Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 2053: Full of Rage

Last night, Celestial Master Zhang got drenched in the rain outside the city, his clothes completely soaked. He was full of anger and could no longer hold it in. Stepping forward, he slapped the guard across the face and scolded, "As soon as I return to the Capital, the first thing I’ll do is chop off your head for your reckless behavior. How dare you fabricate Imperial court regulations? What nerve you have."

The guard was utterly stunned. In his wildest dreams, he never imagined that a beggar would dare to hit him.

"You filthy beggar, tired of living, aren’t you? How dare you hit me?" The guard was infuriated.

Don’t mind that he’s just a mere gate guard; he’s still considered an official.

The commoners were all afraid of them, and each time they saw them, they would bow and scrape. Over time, some guards began to see themselves as masters, believing that in front of the commoners, they were the masters and deserved their respectful treatment.

Celestial Master Zhang coldly said, "I hit you exactly because you are the scourge of the Imperial court, taking The Emperor’s Official Salary but not doing your duty for The Emperor, yet bullying the commoners everywhere."

"Filthy beggar, how dare you hit me? What if I bully you? It’s no big deal if I kill you." As he finished speaking, he reached to his waist with a clang, drew out his sword, and forcefully slashed towards Celestial Master Zhang.

Celestial Master Zhang might be skilled in Divination.

However, he didn’t understand martial arts. Seeing the guard holding a weapon, rushing toward him aggressively, terrified him. At that moment, not knowing what to do, while dazed, a cold flash slashed his way...

Celestial Master Zhang resignedly closed his eyes, thinking he was surely doomed this time.

At the critical moment, a shadow appeared before him like a ghost, extending two fingers to clasp the incoming sword, gently pinching it with a crack, effortlessly breaking the guard’s sword, and disdainfully flinging it to the ground, saying, "What a junk, so easy to pinch, you dare use it to harm someone?"

"Who... Who are you?" The guard, seeing his sword so easily broken by the man before him, was scared witless, realizing the man must be a martial world master.

The expected pain didn’t come. Celestial Master Zhang slowly opened his eyes and saw a familiar face, nearly bursting into tears: "Master, you’ve finally arrived."

It turns out that the one who just saved him was Lin Kong.

Last night, the bandit leader led him to the Weirdo’s territory, and halfway there, they encountered the Weirdo. Lin Kong never imagined, even in his dreams, that the bandit leader’s so-called Weirdo was a person with no hands or feet, and before he could react, the Weirdo made his move.

They fought for hundreds of rounds, evenly matched, both sustaining severe injuries. In the end, the Weirdo let out a wolf-like howl from his mouth, and shortly after, the mountains and fields became swarmed with wild wolves. Taking advantage of Lin Kong being attacked by the Wolves Pack, the Weirdo took the opportunity to slip away.

Facing tens of thousands of wild wolves, Lin Kong had no intention of fighting, defended against a few strikes, sought an opportunity, and also strode away.

Originally, without having retrieved Celestial Master Zhang, Lin Kong had no face to return to the Capital. But after pondering, he didn’t want to leave without accomplishing anything after what it took to enter the Capital. Hence, he decided to return to the Capital. Who would have expected that upon reaching the city gate, he heard a familiar quarrel, and upon focusing, saw an old man in tattered clothing arguing with the gate guards.

At first, Lin Kong didn’t recognize the man as Celestial Master Zhang.

Later, upon careful observation, he found that the old man in rags was indeed Celestial Master Zhang. He couldn’t help but rejoice inwardly, realizing that he found what he had sought without effort.
