The first floor of the Scripture Repository was silent.
Chen Xiaotian was still cursing Jun Wangyou.
Everyone around looked at Jun Wangyou as if watching a joke.
"I originally only planned to cripple you, but now it seems it's better for you to just die."
Suddenly, Jun Wangyou's calm voice rang out.
Chen Xiaotian, who had been cursing, stopped abruptly and looked at Jun Wangyou with a wary expression.
He was arrogant and overbearing, but not stupid.
Since the person in front of him said such a thing, it meant he had the confidence to back it up.
More importantly, he couldn't see through the cultivation of the person in front of him.
"What do you want? I'm telling you, my brother is a True Disciple Chen Tian. If you dare to lay a single hair on me, your whole family will die!"
Chen Xiaotian threatened with a ferocious face.
"Heh, a True Disciple... who isn't?"
Jun Wangyou slowly removed his bronze mask, revealing a handsome face.
At this moment, the first floor of the Scripture Repository fell silent once more.
Unlike the silence before, this time, everyone was almost holding their breath.
"You, you, Jun... Jun Wangyou!!"
Chen Xiaotian's voice trembled instantly. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.
My god! What have I done?
I actually threatened Jun Wangyou!
Chen Xiaotian panicked immediately, filled with immense regret.
If it were anyone else, even another True Disciple, he wouldn't have been this terrified.
But there was one exception, and that was Jun Wangyou.
Jun Wangyou was the only one among all the True Disciples who became one as a mortal.
Of course, that wasn't important.
What was important was that Jun Wangyou's talent was incredibly heaven-defying; none of the 108 True Disciples could match him.
If nothing unexpected happened, Jun Wangyou would be the Holy Son of the Heavenly Dao Sacred Land in the future!
"I actually threatened the future Holy Son and vowed to kill his entire family..."
"I'm finished!"
Chen Xiaotian collapsed to the ground, his eyes dull and lifeless.
Even if he were stupid, he knew that Chen Tian, whom he had always relied on, might not be able to protect him this time.
Moreover, Chen Tian might even personally eliminate him, his own brother, to appease Jun Wangyou's anger and offer amends!
As he thought about it, Chen Xiaotian's face turned incredibly pale.
Seeing Chen Xiaotian suddenly look like his father had just died, Jun Wangyou was slightly stunned.
Clearly, Jun Wangyou himself didn't know the weight of his current identity.
"Do you want to take your own life, or should I do it myself?"
Jun Wangyou's gaze quickly returned to indifference, and he spoke calmly.
"Take my own life..."
Chewing on the two cruel words that entered his mind, Chen Xiaotian began to tremble all over.
Suddenly, he knelt and prostrated himself before Jun Wangyou, slapping himself repeatedly while tears streamed down his face, saying:
"Slap! Jun... Senior Brother Jun, I was wrong, slap! I shouldn't have spoken disrespectfully to you, I deserve to die, I deserve a thousand deaths! Slap!"
"But, my brother is Chen Tian, and I am his only younger brother. My parents died long ago, and I am my brother's only family left in this world.
Does Senior Brother Jun really want to offend my brother for this junior disciple?
Of course, I know this might mean nothing to you, Senior Brother Jun, But it's not worth it for such a small matter."
"I can make amends, really, I can use all my wealth to compensate this junior disciple.
From now on, I will live honestly, and I will never be arrogant or bully others again. I only beg Senior Brother Jun to spare my dog's life."
"Someone like me, killing me would only dirty your hands, Senior Brother Jun, so... please spare my life."
"Thump, thump, thump!"
Chen Xiaotian kowtowed fiercely on the ground. His sincere appearance made it seem as if he wanted to bash his brains out.
And this scene made even Jun Wangyou a bit dumbfounded.
"This... the script is wrong."
According to those melodramatic scripts, shouldn't Chen Xiaotian have continued to be arrogant just now, shouting "My dad is Li Gang" or something similar?
But what was going on before his eyes?
He was too pragmatic.
I felt too embarrassed to draw my sword.
Jun Wangyou had originally intended to kill, but after hearing Chen Xiaotian's words, he found it difficult to go through with it.
If he still made a move, wouldn't that make him seem too narrow-minded?
Frowning slightly, Jun Wangyou pondered whether to kill or not.
Just then, a voice that shouldn't have sounded suddenly rang out in the arena.
"Please, Senior Brother Jun, spare Chen Xiaotian."
"Who?"
Jun Wangyou turned his head in the direction of the voice, his expression instantly stunned, and then his eyes narrowed.
Because the one pleading for Chen Xiaotian at this moment was actually Ye Chen!
The very Ye Chen who had been utterly humiliated by Chen Xiaotian and kicked so hard he couldn't get up!
Ye Chen still hadn't gotten up, but he extended his hands, forming a fist, and pleaded with Jun Wangyou.
Ye Chen's plea shocked everyone, not just Jun Wangyou.
Chen Xiaotian's face lit up with joy, and he looked at Jun Wangyou with anticipation.
The person involved is pleading for me, you can't kill me now, can you?
"Interesting, very interesting."
Looking at the bizarre scene before him, Jun Wangyou suddenly smiled, but his eyes were very strange.
Was Ye Chen pleading for Chen Xiaotian?
Yes, but also no.
What Ye Chen pleaded for was for Jun Wangyou not to kill Chen Xiaotian.
Because he wanted to deal with Chen Xiaotian himself!
Whether it was now or in the future, he didn't know.
This kind of person is a little scary, pleading for his enemy just so he can kill him himself.
After giving Ye Chen another deep look.
Jun Wangyou turned and walked behind Chen Xiaotian, stepped on his legs, breaking them, and then left on his sword.
Death can be forgiven, but living cannot.
Gazing in the direction Jun Wangyou had left, Ye Chen, with all his might, bowed sincerely in that direction.
"Ye Chen thanks Senior Brother Jun."
Returning to Lingtian Peak.
Jun Wangyou observed quietly outside for a while, and only when he was sure no one was around did he return to his room with peace of mind.
As soon as he entered the room, Jun Wangyou collapsed onto the bed.
He stared at the bed and thought quietly.
This trip down the mountain had given him a clear understanding of the prevailing atmosphere among the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sacred Land.
Indifferent, the strong are respected, whatever the strong do is right, whatever the weak do is wrong.
Facing the strong, the weak should obey unconditionally.
"Such an atmosphere bodes ill for the future."
Jun Wangyou sighed, but he was too lazy to worry about it; he wasn't the Holy Son.
His thoughts shifted, and he thought of Ye Chen again.
This person left a deep impression on him.
He could endure so much!
He was the spitting image of a protagonist's template.
"I wonder if it's a trash-to-treasure opening or a mortal-level opening."
Jun Wangyou mused to himself.
Then he thought of Chen Xiaotian again.
He had called Chen Xiaotian over not to avenge Ye Chen.
He had no connection with Ye Chen; why would he help?
He wasn't the type to meddle in other people's business, no saintly busybody.
The reason he'd called out to Chen Xiaotian was twofold. First, some of Chen Xiaotian's words had genuinely annoyed him.
Second, the system's choices had appeared, and the rewards were quite tempting.
Bringing up the system, Jun Wangyou began to examine it.
[Upon witnessing your fellow disciple being bullied, you have the following choices]
[Choice 1: Step in and help the wronged, but you will die by your own sword sooner or later--Reward for this choice: 100,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones]
[Choice 2: Force Chen Xiaotian to kneel and sing "Conquer," how dare he insult me, even the heavens wouldn't dare! Make Chen Xiaotian regret what he's done--Reward for this choice: A top-grade Qi Refining Pill recipe (system-enhanced)]
Jun Wangyou decisively chose 2 at the time.
However, he hadn't expected that just by showing his face, Chen Xiaotian would be so terrified he'd wet himself.
