Chapter 1032
"It's highly likely that he's also benefiting from Fuyumoto Hikaru's influence. This 'Brother Pigeon' must have had contact with one of the incarnations of Old Monster Niewu, and thus assumed that he had spoken with Old Monster Niewu."
"So this guy dared to call the old monster Nie Wu 'teacher,' mainly because the title 'teacher' itself has different uses."
"Generally, when a prodigy faces someone stronger than himself who has given him some guidance, he can respectfully address him as 'teacher'."
“The term ‘teacher’ here is just a respectful title and does not imply a real teacher-student relationship.”
"Given the status of the old monster Nie Wu, anyone who has spoken with him can be said to have received his guidance, so it is not surprising that he is respectfully called 'teacher'."
"Mainly, given the old monster Nie Wu's personality, he naturally wouldn't care about such an ambiguous honorific title."
"So this guy dares to openly call the old monster 'teacher'."
"In some ways, he wasn't even impersonating anyone. After all, he didn't explicitly emphasize the meaning of 'teacher,' so he could easily excuse it by saying that he called him 'teacher' as a respectful title, and that others' assumption that the old monster Nie Wu was his teacher was just a misunderstanding..."
Well, this kind of "misunderstanding" from others is actually quite common among humans as well.
For example, some people wear designer brands, drive luxury cars, and pretend to be rich second-generation heirs.
That could be a weak argument – I never said I was a rich kid, it's all a misunderstanding by outsiders!
Such deliberately misleading misunderstandings are indeed not easy to deal with if they do not cause too much trouble.
For example, Jiang Yi was also "misunderstood" as Nie Wu Laoguai not long ago...
If this "misunderstanding" remains only at the level of thought, it is indeed not a big deal.
But when this "misunderstanding" evolves from the ideological level to the level of interests...
When someone pays a price for this "misunderstanding," then the nature of the matter changes.
For example, if someone pretends to be a rich second-generation just to gain envious glances from passersby, then it doesn't cause any real harm.
However, if this misleading image is used to swindle money, sex, or even marriage, then problems arise.
Therefore, this "pigeon brother" must be very good at grasping this balance.
He referred to "Old Monster Niewu" as "teacher," but did not use this title to profit.
Therefore, his misleading "impersonation" would naturally not attract the wrath of the old monster, Nie Wu.
At this moment, in "Brother Pigeon's" view, he was certainly not making a profit.
It's not even about making a profit.
On the contrary, by exposing a fellow impersonating the Old Monster of Niewu, he was actually protecting the interests of the Old Monster of Niewu!
In contrast, Jiang Yi's impersonation of the old monster Nie Wu was "overstepping the line".
If things had stayed the way they were at the beginning, and people had simply misunderstood him as the eccentric old man, it wouldn't have been a big deal.
But when he accepted the "gift" that was supposed to be given to Old Monster Niewu under the name "Old Monster Niewu"...
That would change the nature of the matter.
but……
Whether the nature of this problem changes or not is up to the old man from the Snow Elephant Clan to decide.
Just like when a rich second-generation completes a "marriage fraud" and the woman comes out and says, "I don't like the money, I like the person," then this kind of "impersonation" will ultimately have a good outcome.
Therefore, once the Snow Elephant Clan elder has made up his mind, his "gift" is for Jiang Yi as a person, not for the identity he represents...
Then this problem is no longer a problem.
But...
There are no laws or judges among all the races.
Often, a strong fist can win people's hearts more than cold, hard reasoning.
Jiang Yi held the crystal ball in his hands, watching as the "Brother Pigeon's" expression changed slightly, but dared not directly refute the claim of "impersonating the disciple of the Old Monster Niewu"...
He then smiled slightly and said—
"I've heard that Old Monster Niewu is always protective of his own..."
"I've heard that among all races, it's common practice for the older generation to suffer the consequences of the younger one's actions..."
"Then the method to verify whether you are a disciple of the eccentric old man is very simple :)"
As he spoke, Jiang Yi no longer held the crystal ball with his other hand.
The wrist was adorned with a small silver dragon bracelet.
From his perspective, where time seemed to slow down, he casually tossed this "pigeon brother" aside...
"Snap!"
It was even crisper and louder than the slap that the old man from the Snow Elephant Clan had given to the young champion!
Not to mention, this cocky "pigeon brother" was actually sent flying backward by the slap!
From Jiang Yi's perspective, this scene was indeed depicted in slow motion, understated and subtle.
However, in the eyes of the onlookers...
It was so fast that they couldn't even react!
They didn't blink!
For some reason, the aggressive young man was suddenly seen flying backwards!
Even more so, because light travels faster than sound...
They saw the guy fly backwards before they heard the crisp, loud slap!
This left the onlookers stunned once again!
After a collective gasp, a very low murmur of discussion broke out again:
"Wait a minute? Is Old Monster Niewu's disciple really this weak? How could he be slapped away so easily?? That guy... could he really be Old Monster Niewu?!"
"Didn't you hear what he meant? It's as if that 'Brother Pigeon' is the imposter posing as Old Monster Nie Wu's disciple!"
"No?! What's going on in this world? First someone impersonated Old Monster Niewu, and now someone is impersonating Old Monster Niewu's student?? This... this makes me wonder if Old Monster Niewu is dying?"
"Pah, pah, pah! They dare to impersonate someone because they're bold! Don't be so frivolous as to spout nonsense..."
Alongside these discussions was the astonished look in the eyes of the Snow Elephant youth as he stared at Jiang Yi.
but……
Jiang Yi didn't indulge him.
Just a casual remark: "Your brother spoils you way too much..."
After saying that, another loud slap landed on his face.
The young man from the Snow Elephant Clan was also sent flying backwards instantly, equally powerless to retaliate!
This scene once again brought silence to the crowd.
The "pigeon brother," who had just managed to get up after being thrown backwards towards the other side of the audience area, was knocked down again by a snow elephant youth flying in...
When the two of them got up together, their eyes were filled with fear!
At the same time, they heard people in the audience area whispering among themselves:
"Let's put aside the question of right and wrong—one impersonating Old Monster Niewu, and the other impersonating Old Monster Niewu's disciple… The key issue is—this is the audience area for the preliminary rounds! How can someone be fighting like this in a place like this? Aren't the black market staff going to do anything about it?"
"This...shouldn't this be something to be addressed? If it were just a simple slap, that would be one thing, but this sent someone flying...it's affecting other spectators! The black market staff responsible for maintaining order in the audience area should definitely step in, right?"
"The staff in the Tier III competition zone are probably not in a good position to manage! It might have to be reported to higher-ups! This could escalate into a major incident!"
"Come on! Impersonating Old Monster Nie Wu and impersonating Old Monster Nie Wu's student are already big enough scandals! Maybe we'll even get to see Old Monster Nie Wu himself today?!"
The onlookers, as always, loved watching the drama unfold.
The initial shock gradually turned into anticipation of possibly meeting the old monster, Nie Wu…
