Heavenly Sword Venerable, Who Is "Biased" Everywhere

The Heavenly Sword Venerable's killing intent just now was no joke. This phantom sat at the highest point of the Cultivation World, a towering figure overlooking an era. Breaking the precedent of countless years, he was actually going to personally emerge from seclusion to preside over the judgment of this matter, all because of his youngest disciple.

Ye Xiaoyao was on her way to be summoned.

Jian Wushuang completely collapsed onto the ground, falling flat on her rear.

She answered haphazardly, her voice already stammering.

"No... I didn't."

"I didn't do any of this."

Ye Qingxian's expression turned cold. "Those who kill never admit their wicked deeds. Only evidence can make people truly convinced."

"Please, Master, detonate the Red Flower Sword Shadow and find the person who met my Junior Sister in the Peach Blossom Forest that day."

Ye Qingxian activated a recording. It clearly documented Jian Wushuang's step-by-step seduction.

"At the time, Junior Sister was already two and a half months pregnant. Through the recording, it can be heard that this person, knowing this, still continuously tempted my Junior Sister to go to the Cave Mansion, constantly hinting that his technique was skilled and would bring no consequences."

Before Jian Wushuang could even straighten up, her legs gave out again, and she completely collapsed.

It's over. This time, it's truly over.

She finally understood what it felt like to be unable to defend herself.

She opened her mouth. "It's true that I said these words, but I really didn't have that many hidden meanings. I was talking about sword flight at the time, not anything else..."

Jian Wushuang's explanation at this moment seemed so pale and powerless.

Faced with the facts, she was like a helpless child, a ridiculously large hat placed upon her head, suffocating her.

Junior Sister, Junior Sister, what exactly did you say to others?

She sat on the ground, her eyes lifeless.

Am I just a scapegoat the Junior Sister found, or did the Junior Sister not even think that far ahead?

The little loli's innocent and natural filter made it impossible for her to believe she had been set up.

She still firmly believed that the latter must be true – Ye Qingxian had misinterpreted her Junior Sister's words.

Ye Qingxian is the bad one!

Perhaps Junior Sister was just dumped by a scumbag and desperately wanted a new romance, which is why she chose to interact with me.

Yes, that's right, it must be like this.

Jian Wushuang gradually convinced herself, and she waited anxiously for Ye Xiaoyao to appear and explain things to her.

At that moment, Heavenly Sword Venerable waved his hand. His supreme power shook heaven and earth. A red, illusory flower materialized out of thin air, emerging from Jian Wushuang's limbs and bones before quickly vanishing.

Simultaneously, a figure almost identical to Jian Wushuang appeared in the sky.

Ye Qingxian's face was like an iceberg. "Jian Wushuang, the facts are right before you. Do you have anything else to explain?" She no longer used the term "Senior Brother" to describe her, as the words used were either "this person" or her direct name.

Jian Wushuang slowly closed her eyes, a faint aura of death emanating from her.

"I... am not."

"I didn't."

"I didn't do it at all, the child isn't mine."

No matter how she explained, it sounded increasingly unconvincing.

Ye Qingxian suddenly drew her long sword.

Even in the presence of Heavenly Sword Venerable, she dared to point her sword at Jian Wushuang.

"You dare to do it but not own up to it. Are you even human?"

Heavenly Sword Venerable remained calm. "Ye Qingxian, did you personally hear Ye Xiaoyao say that the child is Jian Wushuang's?"

Upon hearing this, Jian Wushuang immediately scrambled up, as if grasping at the last straw.

"Yes, did you personally hear it?"

"No." Ye Qingxian, as the foremost prodigy of the Nine Provinces, never feared anyone. "However, all the existing evidence points to you alone."

Jian Wushuang fell silent.

Although she desperately wanted to explain that she was also a female cultivator and couldn't possibly get Ye Xiaoyao pregnant.

However, this involved her biggest secret.

Even Heavenly Sword Venerable couldn't discern her true gender.

"See? Isn't that an admission?" Ye Qingxian sneered.

"It wasn't me, it truly has nothing to do with me." Jian Wushuang's voice was weak, her explanation growing more and more feeble. "I just wanted to conquer Junior Sister and advance my Ruthless Dao progress bar. Heaven as my witness, I, Jian Wushuang, am not someone who abandons wife and child, nor did I ever intend to toy with Junior Sister like this. I even considered compensating her with countless Spirit Stones."

"I might be a scumbag, but I'm a scumbag with a bottom line. I'm completely different from those beast-like flower thieves."

At this moment.

The two elders, who had been observing all along, suddenly emerged from the illusion and spoke. "Putting other matters aside for now, Ye Xiaoyao has been on the mountain for sixteen years and is only at the Qi Refining Third Layer. Many have voiced their opinions. Furthermore, she shamelessly engaged in secret relations with a male cultivator and became pregnant before marriage. For now, let's expel her from the sect. Others will be dealt with later."

As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Qingxian's expression changed drastically.

Before she could react, Heavenly Sword Venerable objected loudly first, "Absolutely not."

Perhaps her voice was a bit too loud.

Ye Qingxian's expression was a little strange, with a hint of suspicion.

Why does Master seem more anxious than I am?

Recalling the experience of her picking up Ye Xiaoyao.

Master had also strongly opposed everyone else and taken Ye Xiaoyao as a Direct Disciple.

The more Ye Qingxian thought about it, the more chilling it became, recalling more overlooked details.

Were the tasks Master assigned back then, the locations given, truly a coincidence, just so I would encounter a little girl about to freeze to death?

Plus.

Heavenly Sword Venerable, who hadn't concerned himself with worldly affairs for a long time, immediately came out of seclusion upon hearing about Ye Xiaoyao and presided over justice.

Could it be?

Ye Qingxian's pupils suddenly contracted, and a terrifying guess formed in her mind?

Is Ye Xiaoyao Master's illegitimate daughter?

When countless coincidences add up, they are no longer coincidences.

Ye Qingxian continued to observe without revealing anything.

She saw Heavenly Sword Venerable continue, "Ye Xiaoyao is young and ignorant, deceived by a scumbag. The fault is not hers. How can we punish the victim?"

These words...

The more Ye Qingxian listened, the more familiar they sounded.

The strangeness in the young girl's expression grew.

Weren't these the very words I made up to convince myself?

Normally, everyone should be treated equally, and the entire sect must abide by the Sect Rules. But for Ye Xiaoyao, she was an ignorant little girl who could have her mistakes easily overlooked with a single sentence.

Heavenly Sword Venerable didn't give anyone else a chance to speak.

He was being autocratic.

"I have already made a decision on this matter."

Don't joke with me.

If she expelled the Great Demon King from the sect, how could she keep him under her observation?

"This—"

Two elders with high authority found it difficult to speak.

What's wrong with Venerable today? Where has his usual indifference and impartiality gone?

Although they held great power in Wuya Sect, this was ultimately an internal matter of Heavenly Sword Peak.

Heavenly Sword Venerable had the decisive power to veto any decision.

The two elders merely proposed a different punishment, "If Ye Xiaoyao cannot be expelled from the sect, then punish her with ten years in the Cold Prison."

Who would have thought.

Heavenly Sword Venerable objected again, "Absolutely not."

He didn't hesitate at all.

Threatening her with ten years in the ice prison, what if it turns the young Great Demon King into a black-hearted individual? Who would be responsible?

Her plan for mediocrity was finally showing some results.

These people are simply here to cause trouble.

The two elders exchanged glances. "According to Venerable's wishes, no matter what, Ye Xiaoyao cannot be punished?"

At this point, Heavenly Sword Venerable could only brace himself and answer.

"That's right."

She didn't care what others thought.

Everyone else's emotions had to make way for the Great Demon King's affairs.

Ye Qingxian's lips twitched silently.

The simplest way to protect Ye Xiaoyao was to tell Master directly.

Who could have imagined this?

She didn't need to do anything; Heavenly Sword Venerable would naturally show biased favoritism without limits.

The two elders simultaneously gasped.

Has Heavenly Sword Venerable taken the wrong medicine? Why is he protecting a mere female cultivator at every turn?

The sect rules could not be violated. The two elders felt that at least a symbolic punishment should be given, so they said in unison, "Since Venerable has already made a judgment, at the very least, Ye Xiaoyao's child should be aborted. It cannot be allowed to remain and corrupt the sect rules. Direct Disciples are the benchmark for everyone, and we absolutely cannot disregard the rules."

This was no longer a punishment; it was even something that would benefit Ye Xiaoyao a hundredfold with no harm.

Surely Heavenly Sword Venerable would agree now.

The most unexpected thing happened.

Heavenly Sword Venerable was lost in the void, his ethereal voice echoing, and anyone listening would hear only a profound silence.

"This Venerable disagrees."

"..."

"..."

At this moment, Ye Qingxian just wanted to weakly add.

Master.

Are you sure Ye Xiaoyao isn't your illegitimate daughter?

How biased can you get?

Listen to yourself, does that sound right?

Countless people fell silent simultaneously.

Jian Wushuang was dumbfounded.

No wonder Master was so furious just now, wanting to personally grind that scumbag into dust.

What kind of background does this Ye Xiaoyao have?

No wonder she could always grin with her white teeth and be happy, never getting angry no matter who bullied her.

It wasn't that she wasn't angry; she was completely unconcerned because she had backing.

She knew she had powerful connections, so others couldn't do anything to her.

Could she go back and beat up her past self from two months ago?

She could have skipped three thousand years of detours.

Was it too late to latch onto the rich loli's thick thigh now?

The two elders, both mighty beings tens of thousands of years old, had never seen such a scene before. They could only exchange glances and say in a very strange tone, "If we go by what the Venerable said, are you perhaps planning to promote Ye Xiaoyao further, making her a Legacy Disciple revered by thousands in the sect?"

How could Heavenly Sword Venerable not hear that these two old fossils were mocking him?

With that said, what else could she do?

She could only calmly utter those two words again, "No."

Ye Qingxian: "..."

So you do know what you just said.

This was probably to avoid doing too much and displeasing the other Venerables in the sect.

Even though her own situation still had room for maneuver, Jian Wushuang was sweating profusely at this moment. Why did it feel like whether she was the scumbag or not, she was still doomed?

At this moment.

She just wanted to kneel on the ground immediately and cry out, "This is outrageous!"

"Spare me!"

"I really didn't mean to seduce Grandma Ye Xiaoyao."

Who would have thought--

A second-generation immortal.

The famous third-generation immortal was right beside her.

No, if you have such powerful backing, could you have said so earlier?

Since Ye Xiaoyao couldn't be punished no matter what, they could only severely punish the scumbag who had stolen Ye Xiaoyao's purity.

The two elders reached a consensus instantly.

No matter the outcome, they could at least salvage some of the sect's reputation.

In the face of the existing evidence, the two elders had already identified the culprit.

Two gazes filled with infinite killing intent pierced through the void and landed on Jian Wushuang, who had already chosen a spot for her grave. This made her wish she could roar to the heavens and tell everyone the truth in the loudest voice possible.

"I really don't have the murder weapon!!"

Perhaps her past image was too deeply ingrained in people's minds; once something related to her happened, the whole world assumed she was the culprit.

She was probably more wronged than Dou E.
