Inside the side hall, the atmosphere suddenly turned grave!
Zhao Caiyun, Shen Qingqing, and the other two women even began laughing with glee at his misfortune...
Chen Xuan froze, panic instinctively surfacing on his face.
Then he said gloomily, "These aren't any kind of evidence of guilt. They're private art pieces!"
"Private art pieces?"
Ji Yaoyue gave a cold, mocking laugh and said imperiously, "That little bitch Nangong Feifei attacked last night, and someone suspects you're the mole! As your master, I naturally have the right to clear your name!"
These words were righteous and awe-inspiring, placing her squarely on the moral high ground.
"Ah..."
Chen Xuan rubbed his brow and said helplessly, "Better not look. It won't do anyone's reputation any good..."
"Master, Chen Xuan is feeling guilty!"
"More than guilty! His eyes were darting around just now. He's clearly guilty as a thief!"
"A dead duck still refusing to admit it! Those two scrolls definitely contain evidence of his collusion with that demoness!"
"Du Meng cannot escape blame either. Master, hurry and open the scrolls!"
Zhao Caiyun and the other three women all spoke up, their gazes toward Chen Xuan brimming with hatred and disdain.
Thus, Ji Yaoyue turned to Three Dao Reverend and the others. "Fellow cultivators, please bear witness together!"
With her snowy-white swan neck raised high, she seemed positively elated.
The next moment.
Rustle!
Ji Yaoyue directly opened the first scroll, giving it a shake and unfurling it through the air...
"Hm?"
Everyone fixed their eyes on it...
And all of them were dumbfounded.
Good heavens!
This... was far too stimulating, wasn't it?
"Th-This! This! This!..."
Ji Yaoyue's voluptuous body trembled wildly, as though bolt after bolt of heavenly lightning had struck her soul.
She could not hold it together anymore!
The scroll contained one hundred and eight exquisite portraits, lifelike depictions of all sorts of stimulating knowledge about men and women sharing affection...
"This is... Erotic Art?"
Ji Yaoyue cried out in disbelief, nearly spitting blood!
This time, she had utterly humiliated herself!
If word of this got out, that wicked disciple of hers would be like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water—but how was she supposed to maintain her image as a cold and lofty fairy?
Chen Xuan, that beast, simply deserved to die!
"Ah! Why is it this kind of filthy thing? I'm going to get styes!"
Mu Xueyuan shrieked and stomped her feet, covering her eyes in a perfect white-lotus pose.
Zhao Caiyue and the other two followed suit, as though the painting contained some flood beast or savage monster.
"I don't believe it!"
Ji Yaoyue shouted unwillingly and unfurled the second scroll as well...
It was the same!
The only difference was that the "knowledge points" between the man and woman in the painting had changed.
"Damn it!!!"
Ji Yaoyue cried out in fury, directly blasting both scrolls in her hands into powder.
Her gaze was ice-cold, as though she wanted to kill someone!
Yet Chen Xuan was not afraid in the slightest. He said leisurely, "Master, those were collector's editions! You'll have to compensate me..."
"Wicked disciple! You are utterly shameless! Your crimes are unforgivable!"
Ji Yaoyue clenched her pearly teeth in rage, her proud twin peaks trembling wildly.
Chen Xuan burst into laughter and retorted, "Even Confucian Scholar Kong of Black White Academy once said, 'Food and desire are human nature!' I merely appreciate Erotic Pictures for their artistic value. What crime have I committed?..."
At the side, Three Dao Reverend stroked his goatee and chimed in, "Erotic Pictures are also an art of calligraphy and painting! Elder Ji, the woman in this picture isn't even you. Why destroy it?... Could it be that jealousy has bred your anger?"
That perfectly timed finishing blow nearly infuriated Ji Yaoyue into fainting.
Only after a long while did Ji Yaoyue barely suppress her fury.
Her eyes burned with anger as she stared at Chen Xuan and shouted, "Chen Xuan, Wushuang was ambushed by a mysterious person and severely injured. How do you intend to atone for that?"
Chen Xuan laughed, as though he had heard some ridiculous joke.
Then he said disdainfully, "What the hell does that have to do with me?"
Ji Yaoyue flared up on the spot. "Why are you pretending to be innocent? It was you who deliberately caused Ancient Evolution Sword Palace to fall silent, triggering a series of sect crises! And Nangong Feifei leading people in an attack has something to do with you as well!"
"Chen Xuan, don't think I, Ji Yaoyue, cannot see through your petty schemes! The more vicious your methods are, the more deeply disgusted I become with you! Revolting!"
"If I had known from the start that you were such a honey-mouthed, dagger-hearted person, so cruel and ruthless at heart, I would never have taken a wolf cub like you as my disciple!"
Every word in that barrage was like a blade or sword!
Yet Chen Xuan remained composed and said leisurely, "If that's the case, then why not expel me from Jade Maiden Peak? As the peak master, you have that authority..."
"I..."
Ji Yaoyue was left speechless, her gaze deep and resentful.
The two of them had long since torn off all pretense, and the sight of each other filled them with mutual disgust... How could she not want to cast Chen Xuan out of Jade Maiden Peak like garbage?
But unfortunately!
She could not even drive him out of Xuan Hall!
The people of the Nine Sects Thirteen Schools had long been waiting eagerly to take him off her hands... Who wouldn't covet the Panlong Treasure Ring, Haotian Sword, and Azure Blood Loyal Heart Token?
Besides, driving Chen Xuan away at this moment would undoubtedly be an extremely foolish thing to do.
Chen Xuan sneered, "What? You don't dare? Of course! The moment you do that, you'll become a sinner of the sect and be condemned by everyone! After all, letting a fat sheep like me go would be far too stupid!"
Ji Yaoyue clenched her fists and retorted in embarrassed fury, "If you weren't staying on Jade Maiden Peak, people from the demonic path would have torn you into scraps long ago! You ungrateful wretch!"
Chen Xuan's eyes were deep and still, his proud backbone unbending!
He gave a mocking smile. "You underestimate me too much! The younger generation of the demonic path I, Chen Xuan, have killed has nearly been wiped into a generational void. It wasn't solely because of my combat strength! It was also because of my wisdom!"
"Fine, fine, fine! Your wings have truly grown hard now!"
Seeing that Chen Xuan would not listen to reason, Ji Yaoyue threatened on the spot, "Wicked disciple, do you believe I have plenty of ways to make you kneel and beg for forgiveness?"
Anyone could hear the chilling fury in her words!
Yet Chen Xuan did not care in the least.
"Take care. No need to see you out!"
"You'll regret this!"
Ji Yaoyue left behind that harsh warning, then flicked her sleeve and departed.
"Chen Xuan, you really are something!"
"Chen Xuan, just wait for your downfall!"
"Heaven first drives mad those it wishes to destroy!"
"Chen Xuan, you're a ruined man. Have even your most basic respect for your master and reverence for the Dao been ruined as well?"
Zhao Caiyue and the other three women also spoke up, condemning Chen Xuan.
"Get lost!!!"
Chen Xuan answered with a furious roar, showing them no indulgence whatsoever.
The four women were enraged, and they too flicked their sleeves and left...
Three Dao Reverend and the others looked at one another, then departed with bitter smiles.
"Xuan Ge, you... sigh! You may have enjoyed trading barbs, but your words were far too arrogant, weren't they? I'm worried Ji Yaoyue will jump over the wall in desperation..." Du Meng said worriedly.
Yet Chen Xuan merely smiled confidently.
With proud confidence, he said, "Da Mengzi, do you believe that within three days, Ji Yaoyue will definitely bring Zhao Caiyue and the other three here to offer apologies and compensation?"
"In the Vast Sword Sect right now, whoever has Spirit Stones is the boss! And I, Chen Xuan... am the boss of bosses!"
