Many male disciples present felt their hearts ache intensely!
They wished they could immediately pull Liu Ruyan into their arms and shout that they were willing to marry her!
At this moment, Ji Yaoyue also angrily rebuked, "Depraved disciple! I never expected your morals to be so utterly corrupt! To deceive your betrothed and rob her of her purity through despicable means, I, Ji Yaoyue, feel ashamed on your behalf!"
Immediately, her tone shifted as she said softly, "Ruyan, the two of you have already been intimate, after all... Can you give Chen Xuan a chance? I apologize to you on my disciple's behalf!"
Chen Xuan's eyes split open in fury, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked!
Over the years, he had done many crazy things just to please Liu Ruyan.
He never thought she would betray him with such unfeeling cruelty!
At this moment, Ji Wushuang suddenly said angrily, "Eldest Senior Brother, are you worried that you've become a cripple and are no longer worthy of Senior Sister Ruyan in the future? She gave you her pure body in advance, and her deep affection is witnessed by the sun and moon. Is such profound love still not enough?"
"A real man stands tall between heaven and earth. Your cultivation is crippled, but has the backbone in your body been crippled along with it? Why don't you hurry up and apologize to Senior Sister Ruyan?"
"Junior Brother wishes you a lifetime together and eternal love!"
His resonant and powerful words immediately won praise from quite a few elders.
He truly lived up to being the best candidate for the newly appointed Saint Son. In terms of character, cultivation, and potential, this young man was utterly top-tier!
Yet upon hearing this, Chen Xuan felt every word grating on his ears, dripping with sarcasm.
Just as he was about to retort, Du Meng at the side cursed angrily, "Ji Wushuang, what kind of good guy are you pretending to be? Yesterday, in plain view of everyone, you and Liu Ruyan were acting intimately by the shores of Crescent Lake! You even helped her wipe away her tears..."
"That hymen of hers was probably broken by you wiping it, wasn't it? Fuck your old mother!"
"Audacious!"
Hearing this, Ji Yaoyue flew into a rage!
She struck out with a single palm strike, sending Du Meng coughing up blood as he collapsed to the ground.
Only then did Ji Yaoyue coldly snort, "Du Meng, you sprout nonsense and smear Wushuang's pristine reputation. You certainly have a lot of nerve! After this matter is over, this deity will definitely head to Boulder Peak to demand an explanation..."
At this moment, Ji Wushuang also said angrily, "Senior Brother Du Meng, I saw Senior Sister Ruyan shedding tears by the lake yesterday and stepped forward to offer a few words of comfort. What is wrong with that? I, Ji Wushuang, have acted with an open and upright heart all my life, fearing no idle gossip!"
He changed the subject, his gaze turning gentle as he said, "Besides... I already have someone I love, and she is right on Jade Maiden Peak! Is this explanation satisfactory?"
Boom!
The scene instantly erupted into an uproar as the crowd began to speculate amongst themselves.
Behind Ji Yaoyue, the four beauties all lit up with bright eyes and blooming hearts upon hearing this!
They were none other than Chen Xuan's four senior sisters.
Chen Xuan silently helped the injured Du Meng to his feet.
Seeing that all four senior sisters had spring-like expressions in their eyes as they peeked at Ji Wushuang, his heart sank into an even deeper abyss of loss!
He had risked his life to guard Jade Maiden Peak, and barely a month after becoming a cripple, the attitudes of his four senior sisters had completely changed, their disdain pouring out without restraint...
To think he had even regarded them as people worth guarding with his life!
At this moment, Ji Yaoyue said with a gaze full of disappointment, "How precious is a woman's purity? Chen Xuan, regardless of whether today's grand wedding proceeds, you should publicly apologize to Ruyan!"
Chen Xuan's face turned livid, and he decisively shook his head!
He did not utter a single word!
Yet his heart felt as though it had been sliced by knives, bleeding profusely!
He could now be certain... Ji Yaoyue had completely biased herself toward Ji Wushuang from the very beginning, conspiring with that pair of adulterous dogs to set up this trap for him!
"You!..."
Seeing Chen Xuan shake his head, Ji Yaoyue trembled with anger, her plump and lush physique shaking as her full, snowy peaks rose and fell violently as if unable to bear the burden.
It instantly caused many men present to conceive the urge to step forward and cup them...
Eldest Senior Sister Zhao Caiyue immediately rebuked, "Audacious Chen Xuan! You actually dare to defy Master's kind intentions. Our Jade Maiden Peak really has raised an ungrateful wolf!"
She cast a sidelong glance of disdain, as though Chen Xuan were some filthy object that polluted her eyes.
Second Senior Sister Shen Qingwan also fawned, "Master, you truly have no reason to be angry over such a self-deprecating piece of trash! Compared to our Junior Brother, he isn't even worthy of carrying his shoes! It's just a pity for Junior Sister Ruyan, whose infatuation was misplaced on the wrong man."
Third Senior Sister Bai Ling said with contempt, "Chen Xuan, you really are shameless. A toad wanting to eat swan meat and yet refusing to admit it—such behavior is nauseating! Someone like you doesn't deserve to stay on Jade Maiden Peak!"
Fourth Senior Sister Mu Xueyuan mocked even more harshly, "Third Senior Sister, you're wrong! Our Junior Brother is very smart! He didn't dare to marry Junior Sister Ruyan because she is the most peerless beauty in the Wild Heaven Region, admired by who knows how many proud prodigies."
"If news of their grand wedding spread, Chen Xuan might well have been assassinated and found dead in a ditch within a few days!"
"Yet, unwilling to let such an exquisite beauty be handed over to someone else, Chen Xuan first coaxed Junior Sister Ruyan into giving him her pure body, only to play the coward on their wedding day... Considered that way, he still made a huge profit!"
Boom!
Mu Xueyuan's words instantly sparked a heated discussion among the crowd.
Many people suddenly understood, and the more they thought about it, the more reasonable it sounded...
The gazes they cast at Chen Xuan grew even more contemptuous, rendering the loud rebuttals of a few like Du Meng completely useless!
"Despicable!"
Chen Xuan's teeth ground together with a squeak as he glared angrily at his four senior sisters.
His selfless devotion to them all these years had truly been fed to dogs!
At this moment, Liu Ruyan, draped in red bridal robes and peerless across the realm, twitched at her delicate shoulders and burst into tears.
She wept like rain on a pear blossom, looking pitiful enough to break one's heart!
At a certain moment.
Liu Ruyan wiped her tears with her delicate hand and pleaded, "Chen Xuan, when you kill me, please don't use the Love Character Sword, okay? Do you know how much Ruyan cherishes our engagement?... My heart is completely shattered now!"
Many male disciples of the Vast Sword Sect present also had their hearts shattered, wishing they could deploy their magical treasures to blast Chen Xuan to smithereens!
Too despicable!
Someone like Chen Xuan had actually once been the Saint Son of the Vast Sword Sect?
It was simply the greatest disgrace to the sect!
For a moment, curses gradually rose.
Hearing Liu Ruyan's words, Chen Xuan felt as though he had swallowed a lump of shit—nauseating and ironic to the core.
"Everyone, calm down! I believe Eldest Senior Brother must have his own hidden difficulties. Even if he really is as Fourth Senior Sister says, there are extenuating circumstances..."
Ji Wushuang spoke up to defend Chen Xuan, but that only invited even more curses.
At this moment, Liu Ruyan suddenly stopped sobbing and raised her head.
Her tear-filled eyes were as despairing as an abandoned kitten.
"Chen Xuan, I cheapened myself and lacked self-love by insisting on offering myself to you to show my affection... Can you honestly say you had no fault in this? I came happily today dressed in bridal robes, never expecting it to end like this!"
"Do you know? If I, Liu Ruyan, casually found any sect disciple here to marry, it would still be a hundred times better than a lazy, good-for-nothing mud-pig like you?"
Liu Ruyan's cold, beautiful eyes were filled with shattered sorrow.
After Ji Yaoyue finished speaking, she solemnly bowed to Liu Ruyan!
Many male disciples on the scene panicked, terrified that Ji Yaoyue would forcefully broker a successful union between the two...
The corners of Chen Xuan's mouth curled up slightly as he suddenly thought that the master he had respected in the past... was truly fucking hypocritical!
Liu Ruyan gave a desolate smile and said, "Elder Ji, why don't we let our fellow disciples present decide whether Ruyan should marry or not?"
"Don't marry! Don't marry!..."
Before her voice even faded, quite a few male disciples in the crowd began to shout.
Soon, the boiling uproar echoed across the skies above Jade Maiden Peak.
"I know the answer!"
Liu Ruyan gazed at Chen Xuan with icy eyes and mocked, "Chen Xuan, respecting the collective will of everyone, I, Liu Ruyan, formally break our engagement and reject you!"
As she said this, the corner of her gaze swept toward Ji Wushuang with a hint of ambiguous warmth.
"Reject the engagement? Do you even have the qualification?"
An abrupt and indifferent voice rang out, startling everyone present!
Following the sound, they looked over!
They saw Chen Xuan standing with his spine straight and rigid, exuding a self-contained majesty.
It was he who had just issued the challenge.
Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Chen Xuan coldly explained, "You only know that I mastered the Heaven-Rank Cultivation Method Nine Yang Profound Heaven Art, but you don't know that practicing this art requires maintaining a Pure Yang Body, do you?"
"Even though my cultivation is crippled, my Nine Yang Battle Body remains, and the blood in my body still contains some Pure Yang Qi, which can activate the Pure Yang Pearl!"
"Since this bitch Liu Ruyan falsely accuses me of sleeping with her, I, Chen Xuan, will publicly prove my innocence!"
Liu Ruyan froze!
Everyone froze!
Du Meng, however, was overjoyed!
He immediately retrieved a Pure Yang Pearl and a dagger from his Storage Ring, laughing, "Xuan Ge, I happen to have a Pure Yang Pearl right here!"
Thus, under the gaze of everyone, Chen Xuan slashed his finger open.
Drip by drip, crimson blood splattered onto the Pure Yang Pearl. Absorbed by it, the pearl burst into a brilliant golden radiance!
"Hahahaha! Did you all see it? Xuan Ge is still a virgin, Liu Ruyan is talking nonsense!" Du Meng laughed heartily, feeling utterly exhilarated.
At that moment, a great sun leaped over the horizon, casting a vast expanse of golden brilliance that shone down upon Chen Xuan.
In that majestic aura, Chen Xuan looked as formidable as a golden-armored battle god!
Many people entered a trance as scenes of Chen Xuan's heroic battles across the years flashed through their minds!
Then, casting a haughty glance down, Chen Xuan shouted coldly, "Facts prove that you, Liu Ruyan, are nothing more than a foul whore open to anyone! Remember, it is this Saint Son who is dumping you! Get out of Saintess Peak immediately and stop polluting my eyes!"
