Everyone Laughs at Me, and Somehow I'm the Funniest One Too

"You won't be allowed to steal my cultivation! Yun'er! Are you really blinded by this guy?!"

Unsurprisingly, when Yun Yun and Qin Yu returned to the Misty Cloud Sect and told Yun Shan about the matter, Yun Shan immediately flew into a rage.

He had finally broken through to the Dou Zong realm after countless hardships, and these two wanted to take it away?

Impossible!

What? Where does his hard work lie?

Isn't waiting for the right person a difficult task?

"Master, is this really true..."

Yun Yun told Yun Shan about how Wu Protector shattered his soul, hoping to bring Yun Shan back to his senses.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Unexpectedly, Yun Shan waved his sleeve and his emotions suddenly became agitated, and the calm and refined demeanor he had when they first met had vanished.

I won't listen! I won't listen! What you're saying is all lies!

"Master..."

"Shut up! If you still consider me your master, then don't mention this matter again!"

Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Yun Yun could only turn to Qin Yu for help.

It was originally agreed that she would be the one to advise Yun Shan, but Yun Shan did this...

"Yun Shan, you now have two choices."

At Yun Yun's signal, Qin Yu stepped forward and spoke without any politeness.

Why didn't we just hand it over to him earlier?

First, accept it.

"Second, I'll beat him up, and then he'll be forced to accept it."

Yun Yun is Yun Shan's disciple, what does that have to do with Qin Yu?

Qin Yu only knew that Yun Shan was a ticking time bomb, and if it wasn't defused, the trouble would be even greater once it exploded.

"This junior is arrogant!"

Upon hearing Qin Yu's words, Yun Shan slammed his palm into the seat beneath him, shattering it. He then stood up abruptly, unleashing the oppressive aura of One-Star Dou Zong towards Qin Yu.

He knew he was unlikely to defeat Qin Yu, after all, Qin Yu possessed two different kinds of Heavenly Flames.

But Yun Shan was unwilling to give up.

In order to break through to the Dou Zong, he did not hesitate to accept the secret techniques of the Hall of Souls, putting his life in the hands of others.

Did he not know that Wu Protector's intentions were impure? Of course he did.

He was just trying to distract himself with other things and constantly hypnotizing himself.

Moreover, without Qin Yu, there really wasn't anyone in the Jia Ma Empire who could break his self-hypnosis.

Even Dou Zong who breaks through using secret techniques is still far superior to an ordinary Peak Dou Emperor.

Without Qin Yu, Yun Shan could do whatever he wanted in the Jia Ma Empire!

"If you're not satisfied, then let's have a fight."

Qin Yu stretched his limbs, and his fierce fighting spirit only fueled Yun Shan's anger.

He finally broke through to the Dou Zong, but before he could even enjoy the victory, he was about to be forced back to his original form. Who could stand that?!

"Ah Yu..."

Just then, Yun Yun suddenly spoke up, as if to speak up for Yun Shan.

At least that's what Yun Shan himself thinks.

"You just finished fighting Wu Protector, don't you need to rest for a couple of days?"

"..."×2

Yun Shan and Qin Yu both fell silent, their eyes fixed on Yun Yun.

"I... I'm sorry, Master. I can't watch you continue making mistakes in this matter."

Yun Yun realized that what she had just said might have been inappropriate, but she remained steadfast in her choice and stood firmly on Qin Yu's side.

"Ha, good, very good, you really are my good apprentice!"

Facing Yun Shan's angry gaze, Yun Yun remained unfazed, standing ramrod straight with no attempt to evade him.

"... Junior, come on, let this sect see your strength, and whether it matches your boastful tone!"

Yun Shan remained silent for a moment, then turned his gaze to Qin Yu before disappearing from the main hall.

Qin Yu followed closely behind. Yun Yun glanced at the chair that Yun Shan had smashed and sighed helplessly.

Why smash things for no reason? Just talk!

Not long after Qin Yu and Yun Shan went out, Yun Shan returned first.

Yun Shan's anxiety had lessened considerably, but his makeup had become much heavier.

That youthful appearance, restored after breaking through to the Dou Zong, was now distorted.

"Puff..."

Seeing Yun Shan's heavily made-up appearance, Yun Yun gritted her teeth to barely keep from laughing out loud.

"Yun'er..."

"Exist..."

Yun Shan spoke indistinctly, his voice muffled, while Yun Yun was nearly driven mad with frustration.

Although she shouldn't be like this at this time, Yun Shan's appearance...

In all their decades as master and apprentice, she had never seen Yun Shan so disheveled—no, so comically disfigured.

"Why didn't you tell me this guy had such twisted methods..."

Yun Shan was barely able to speak; he had been beaten.

That brat Qin Yu really went all out; he didn't give him a chance to fight back at all.

In the battle with Qin Yu, Yun Shan barely touched his opponent from beginning to end; he was the one who was constantly being beaten.

Isn't he afraid that Yun Yun will speak ill of him to her?

That's not right either...

Yun Shan glanced at Yun Yun, whose bandages were about to burst, and sighed inwardly.

Judging from this, even if I spoke, Yun Yun wouldn't listen.

Tsk, not only did he get a beating, but his apprentice also made fun of him.

What kind of mess is this?

Everyone laughs at me, but am I the funniest one?

"So, Master, you're accepting this?"

Yun Shan glanced at Yun Yun with annoyance.

Look at how badly I've been beaten up, what right do I have to refuse?

After Qin Yu's "lecture," Yun Shan has now come to a complete understanding, or as the saying goes, he's out of options.

"Why..."

After letting out a long sigh, Yun Shan waved his hand and turned to leave.

Watching Yun Shan's somewhat forlorn figure, Yun Yun felt a pang of sadness, but what could she do when her master had become entangled with those people?

"You won't blame me for going too far, will you?"

Just then, Qin Yu arrived at Yun Yun's side and shook his hand.

"Of course not, but why did you only aim for the face?"

"Uh, do you believe me if I said Senior Yun Shan insisted on putting on a show for you?"

Qin Yu wasn't lying. Several times, Yun Shan could have dodged the attacks, but he insisted on turning his head to look, and then he was proven wrong.

"Then, I'll go and fetch those two elders."

"Good."

The matter of Yun Shan has been settled, so the two elders are naturally no problem.

Even though one of them became a bit arrogant after his strength skyrocketed, he became very obedient after being taught a lesson by Yun Yun.

Because the marks left by the Hall of Souls's secret techniques are directly engraved in the soul, it took Qin Yu a lot of effort to break them.

Because there were very few effective medicinal herbs, Yun Yun eventually had to open the treasure trove accumulated by the Misty Cloud Sect over the years to gather enough materials to help Qin Yu break the Hall of Souls secret technique on the three of them.

As expected, Yun Shan's strength dropped back to the Peak Dou Emperor, his appearance aged by several decades, and his aura became weak.

"Take this. This one should be enough to restore your foundation. When you try to break through to the Dou Zong realm later, don't even think about those unorthodox methods."

"No, even if I'm going to hire you, I'll find someone with lower risk!"

Qin Yu tossed a jade bottle towards Yun Shan, inside which was the Qilin Blood Pill he had refined.

For Yun Yun's sake, I'll help this old guy Yun Shan out of it. As for what happens to him in the future, that's none of Qin Yu's business.
