Wicked Disciple, How Dare You Deliberately Humiliate Your Master?

Inside Vast Hall.

Chen Xuan strolled in leisurely alongside Ji Yaoyue.

Behind him, experts from the Nine Sects Thirteen Schools had all arrived as well.

Everyone had their own calculations, so naturally, none of them would stand idly by.

Tap, tap, tap!

Under everyone's watchful gaze, Chen Xuan walked step by step toward his own Saint Son's seat and sat down with brazen ease!

With Spirit Stones in hand, he held absolute initiative!

So what if he acted a little arrogant?

Li Yinglian stroked his beard and chuckled. "Chen Xuan, I presume you already know about last night's attack by the Limitless Demon Sect? Rumors are spreading throughout the sect that you were their inside man... Naturally, I, the Sect Master, do not believe it, and I have already suppressed such idle gossip!"

"Now that the sect is facing a crisis, surely I need not say more for you to generously open your purse, yes?"

It had to be said that Li Yinglian understood the art of speaking.

Yet Chen Xuan did not buy it.

He said directly, "I heard that when Little Devil Girl Nangong Feifei stormed our sect, she kept shouting that she wanted to kill Ji Wushuang. That makes him the true culprit!"

"If not for that troublemaker, would our sect have suffered such enormous losses? Sect Master, the so-called rumors you mentioned are rather baseless, aren't they?"

As soon as he said this, discussions broke out throughout the hall.

Some agreed with Chen Xuan, while others angrily refuted him.

"Utter nonsense!"

Ji Yaoyue let out a cold, sharp cry, her eyes reddening.

Today, she had specifically gone to Xuan Hall to find Chen Xuan because she wanted to obtain enough Spirit Stones.

Instead, she had returned empty-handed!

Not only had she failed to obtain the Spirit Stones, she had also made a complete fool of herself...

And now, before the Sect Master, Chen Xuan still dared to turn the tables and falsely accuse Wushuang?

What a wicked disciple!

What vicious words!

Simply shameless and despicable!

"Hm? Yao Yue, be quiet!"

Li Yinglian frowned and spoke unhappily.

Then, with a warm smile, he said, "Chen Xuan, Wushuang is seriously injured now. Your master is inevitably worried... As her disciple, you should be understanding of her!"

Who would have thought that Chen Xuan would sneer outright? "Understanding?... Back then, I defended Jade Maiden Peak to the death and ultimately self-detonated my Ninth Grade Golden Core. What did I get in return? Was anyone worried about me?"

"You!..."

Li Yinglian's mouth twitched. He was left utterly speechless.

"Bastard!"

Ji Yaoyue trembled all over with rage, icy light shooting from her eyes.

Red Beard Elder could endure no longer and stepped out from the crowd!

He shouted sternly, "Chen Xuan, say it plainly! Are you willing to hand over one million High-Grade Spirit Stones or not?"

"No!"

Chen Xuan answered without the slightest hesitation, utterly fearless!

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense...

Yet Chen Xuan showed no fear at all in the face of Red Beard Elder's furious glare, as though flames were spitting from his eyes.

He flicked his finger and spoke unhurriedly.

"Does the Vast Sword Sect belong to me alone? Why should I be the only one paying when trouble comes?"

"And Elder Red Beard, the moment you open your mouth, you demand that I hand over one million High-Grade Spirit Stones. You're like a toad yawning—what a big mouth you have!"

"You insolent brat!!!"

Red Beard Elder flew into a rage and bellowed sharply!

Then, the might of his Third Rank Spirit Transmutation erupted with a thunderous burst as he pressed forward step by step.

His face was as cold and severe as frost!

"Chen Xuan, as the Saint Son of our Vast Sword Sect, this is your responsibility! Today, whether you are willing or not, you must be willing!"

"Let me, Red Beard Elder, bear the blame for being the villain!..."

"This is bad!..."

The faces of everyone from the Nine Sects Thirteen Schools changed in unison!

Red Beard Elder's posture made it clear—he was about to tear off all pretense!

The Vast Sword Sect's current situation was already hanging by a thread!

So he no longer cared about anything else!

Chen Xuan wore a scornful expression as he said blandly, "Elder Red Beard, don't rush. I haven't finished speaking yet... Naturally, I'm unwilling to hand over one million for nothing! But... I am willing to contribute five hundred thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones!"

The moment he said this, Red Beard Elder halted.

The members of the Vast Sword Sect all smiled...

What a posturing piece of trash!

Go on, Chen Xuan, keep acting tough!

In the end, hadn't he still chickened out?

Upon hearing this, Ji Yaoyue immediately felt much better.

She gave a cold laugh and mocked, "Wicked disciple, now that you have become a cripple, you should have realized this long ago! Did you truly think that merely holding the Azure Blood Loyal Heart Token would let you defy the sect?"

Before her words had even faded, Chen Xuan spoke again.

"I haven't finished yet! I'll provide five hundred thousand Spirit Stones, and the sect need not repay me! However, you must fulfill three small conditions of mine!"

"Speak!"

Li Yinglian uttered a single word indifferently, neither pleased nor angry.

Everyone in the hall once again focused their gazes on Chen Xuan.

"First, Elder Red Beard and twenty Nascent Soul elders must be stationed in Xuan Hall to ensure my safety before the Apprentice Ceremony. And to prevent them from deliberately slacking off or playing tricks, they must swear a Great Dao Oath to protect me with all their strength!"

"Second, Ji Yaoyue must do something for me in private as an expression of apology!"

"Third, every disciple of the Vast Sword Sect must visit Jade Maiden Peak, including the Servant Disciples! They are to visit Saint Son Ji in turns and offer him a specific blessing!"

Unhurriedly, Chen Xuan laid out his three conditions.

After a brief daze, everyone understood.

Chen Xuan was not foolish after all. Had he realized that he had fallen into an enormous life-and-death crisis and begun trying to save himself?

Li Yinglian furrowed his brows slightly and asked in confusion, "What sort of blessing is the third condition?"

"It's very simple!... Wish Saint Son Ji a swift recovery from his injuries. Not only have you gathered the sect's great fortune, but you have also obtained Immortal Source Fortune. Your future is destined to be boundless!"

Chen Xuan spoke with a smile, secretly snickering to himself!

Having lost the Immortal Source Fortune yet still needing to pretend he had obtained it would surely stick in Ji Wushuang's throat like a fishbone, leaving him incomparably stifled.

Hundreds or thousands of sect members lining up to offer their "blessings"... Would Ji Wushuang die of rage on his sickbed?

At the very least, he ought to vomit blood from anger, right?

"That's all?"

"Yes! That's all..."

After pondering for a moment, Li Yinglian readily agreed.

If they truly tore off all pretense in public, even if Red Beard Elder bore the blame alone, the Vast Sword Sect's reputation would suffer a fatal blow!

After all, openly seizing another person's treasures and Spirit Stones—how was that any different from the demonic path?

Since Chen Xuan had already made a concession, then so be it!

Especially Chen Xuan's third condition... Those blessings clearly meant he was begging Wushuang for mercy and admitting defeat!

Thus, Red Beard Elder and the others swore a Great Dao Oath before everyone, and Chen Xuan finally set his heart completely at ease.

Then Ji Yaoyue stepped forward as well.

Her gaze was cold, her bearing lofty as she asked, "Wicked disciple, what do you want me to do in private?"

"Come with me!"

Chen Xuan rose and walked straight toward the side hall.

Everyone present grew curious!

Inside the side hall.

Chen Xuan got straight to the point. "Ji Yaoyue, you should have brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones in your Storage Ring, right? You ruined my Erotic Art, so draw me an identical one to return to me!"

"What did you say?"

Ji Yaoyue asked reflexively, nearly believing there was something wrong with her ears!

Then, she flew into a towering rage!

This wicked disciple!!!

He!

He actually dared to demand such a vile and obscene form of apology?

He was deliberately humiliating me!
