Watching the two of them glare at each other in the martial arts arena, everyone around them was extremely curious.
Judging from the way Chen Xuan and Nalan Yanran had reacted upon meeting, they must have met before and had some grudge between them.
As for why she had called Chen Xuan a filthy hooligan, everyone felt there was a great deal to unpack.
"Damn, did Chen Xuan molest my goddess? If so, that absolutely cannot be tolerated!"
"He definitely molested Nalan Yanran. Otherwise, why would she hate him so much?"
"From the killing intent in the goddess's eyes, we can tell that Chen Xuan acted like a hooligan."
"Hehe, let's just watch the show. It'll definitely be entertaining."
The crowd around them broke into heated discussion, all believing that Chen Xuan must have molested Nalan Yanran.
Otherwise, why would she call him a filthy hooligan?
Quite a few male disciples felt especially upset. After all, someone had acted like a hooligan toward their goddess.
Although Nalan Yanran was only fourteen, she was already strikingly beautiful, clearly the makings of a great beauty.
Give her a few more years, and she would surely become a devastatingly gorgeous woman.
"Senior Sister, don't you think it's shameless to bully someone younger than you?" Chen Xuan said unhappily as he warily widened the distance between himself and Nalan Yanran.
If it came to fighting, Chen Xuan naturally was not afraid.
After all, among opponents of the same level, he had yet to encounter a match for himself.
Once he used the Berserk skill, he could easily crush Nalan Yanran.
But he could not use that skill lightly.
"I'm shameless?" Nalan Yanran glared at Chen Xuan and said bitterly, "When it comes to shamelessness, no one can compare to a filthy hooligan like you."
Whenever she recalled their encounter in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, Nalan Yanran felt her face flush.
Back then, her private parts had nearly been seen completely.
Although Chen Xuan had warned her at the time, Nalan Yanran had still been badly frightened.
What was even more hateful was that Chen Xuan had been completely naked, shamelessly striking the Great Roc Spreads Wings pose.
Nalan Yanran had seen everything she should not have seen. It had been utterly eye-searing.
As a girl, she had never experienced anything like that before.
"Hey, hey, you can't just throw around accusations like that." Chen Xuan said dissatisfiedly, "How exactly did I act like a hooligan toward you?"
He had only exposed himself back then because he had no other choice. That crazy woman had been about to attack him.
Being naked had not been Chen Xuan's intention either.
If anyone had acted like a hooligan, he had been forced into it.
But he absolutely would not admit that he was a hooligan.
"You are a hooligan!" Nalan Yanran said furiously. "If you weren't a hooligan, then why would you... you..."
Nalan Yanran cursed loudly, her face turning somewhat redder.
But by the end, she could no longer continue.
Was she supposed to say that she had seen Chen Xuan's entire body?
Of course she could not say it out loud, or everyone would gossip about her behind her back.
"Hmph. If we're talking about hooligans, I think you're the real hooligan—a female hooligan," Chen Xuan snorted.
Nalan Yanran glared at Chen Xuan indignantly. "How am I a hooligan? What did I do to you?"
Being called a female hooligan made her furious.
She truly wanted to knock Chen Xuan to the ground and give him a brutal lesson.
Only then could she vent the anger in her heart.
"Good question." Chen Xuan glanced at Nalan Yanran and said, "Back then, I was lying in the grass. You walked right up to me, squatted down, and took off your pants to pee."
"So you're the hooligan—a genuine, bona fide female hooligan."
Chen Xuan did not speak loudly, but everyone present heard him clearly.
His words left everyone present dumbfounded.
What was going on?
Nalan Yanran had peed right in front of Chen Xuan?
That was explosive news.
"Damn it, my goddess's body was seen by that bastard? That's so unfair!"
"It's enough to make one jealous with envy! Why don't I get treatment like that?"
"No wonder Nalan Yanran called Chen Xuan a hooligan. So that was the reason."
"Wuwuwu, how could this happen? Nalan Yanran is a pure and holy goddess in my heart!"
The male disciples beat their chests and stomped their feet, filled with grief and indignation.
Chen Xuan's experience made them burn with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
In everyone's eyes, Nalan Yanran was a pure and holy goddess without a single blemish.
But after hearing Chen Xuan's words, the male disciples' hearts shattered.
Nalan Ye looked somewhat stunned.
He had not expected Nalan Yanran and Chen Xuan to have had such an imagination-stirring encounter.
"Shut up!" Nalan Yanran shouted.
Chen Xuan's words made her look extremely uncomfortable. Her cheeks flushed red with embarrassment.
The blush on her cheeks made her look especially alluring.
Staring at Chen Xuan, Nalan Yanran's eyes practically spat fire.
If looks could kill, Chen Xuan would already have been sliced into a thousand pieces.
How could she not be angry?
Chen Xuan had not explained things clearly at all, making everyone think that Nalan Yanran's body had been seen.
Now, even if Nalan Yanran jumped into the sea, she would never wash away the stain.
"What I said was the truth," Chen Xuan said with a curl of his lips. "I can swear to heaven that there wasn't a single lie."
"You bastard!" Nalan Yanran charged at him with her sword, looking as though she wanted to hack him into pieces.
"I'm standing right here. If you aren't afraid of the Sect Rules, then go ahead and attack," Chen Xuan said calmly.
He refused to believe that Nalan Yanran would dare kill someone.
Her sword arrived with a pale green sword glow, stopping an inch from Chen Xuan's throat.
In the end, Nalan Yanran still did not dare strike.
After all, she had to take the Sect Rules into consideration.
"I want to duel you!" Nalan Yanran glared at Chen Xuan. "If I lose, all grudges between us will be written off."
"A good man doesn't fight women," Chen Xuan said with a smile.
That smile looked exceedingly punchable.
"Are you even a man?" Nalan Yanran sneered.
They were both one-star Dou Zhes, so she was not exactly bullying him.
"Hehe." Chen Xuan chuckled. "You know very well whether I'm a man. After all, you've seen every part of my body."
Chen Xuan's words were like a massive boulder crashing into a calm lake, sending waves rippling outward.
The people around them looked at Chen Xuan and Nalan Yanran with strange expressions.
Feeling their suggestive gazes, Nalan Yanran was utterly enraged.
The more they talked, the more muddled things became.
"Do you dare duel me?" Nalan Yanran glared at Chen Xuan. "Don't make me, a woman, look down on you."
Raising an eyebrow, Chen Xuan smiled faintly. "It's not impossible for me to agree to duel you, but you must agree to two conditions."
"Say them," Nalan Yanran said coldly.
"First condition: if you lose, you have to kiss me in public. Do you dare?" Chen Xuan grinned.
"Shameless!" Nalan Yanran cursed.
"If you won't agree, then forget it." Chen Xuan shrugged.
"I agree," Nalan Yanran said through gritted teeth.
She refused to believe that she would lose to a newly arrived disciple.
"Very good." Chen Xuan nodded in satisfaction. "Second condition: if you lose, you must give me one hundred thousand Gold Coins."
"I don't have that many Gold Coins on me. I only have ten thousand," Nalan Yanran said coldly.
"Ten thousand it is. Better than nothing." Since she only had ten thousand Gold Coins, Chen Xuan could only accept it.
After all, what he needed most right now was Gold Coins.
And since Nalan Yanran dared agree, she naturally had a certain degree of confidence.
As the personal disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect's Sect Master, how could she not have a few trump cards?
And so, their duel was set for noon the next day.
A sect elder would personally supervise it then.
News of the duel between the two spread wildly throughout the sect, sparking a wave of heated discussion.
