Many of the male disciples present felt heartbroken, wishing they could embrace Liu Ruyan right now and loudly declare they were willing to marry her.
At that moment, Ji Yaoyue angrily scolded, “Wretched disciple! I never thought you’d be so morally corrupt! You deceived your fiancée and used despicable means to steal her innocence. Even I, Ji Yaoyue, feel ashamed for you!”
Then, her tone softened as she said gently, “Ruyan, since you and Chen Xuan have already… could you give him a chance? On behalf of my disciple, I apologize to you.”
Chen Xuan’s eyes filled with fury, his fists clenching so tightly that cracking sounds echoed.
All these years, to please Liu Ruyan, he had done countless foolish things.
Yet she had betrayed him so ruthlessly!
At this moment, Ji Wushuang suddenly spoke angrily, “Senior Brother, are you afraid that because you’re now a cripple, you can’t match up to Senior Sister Ruyan anymore? She gave you her innocence; her feelings are as clear as day and night. Isn’t that enough for you?”
“A true man stands tall and proud. Even if your cultivation is crippled, did your backbone also become worthless? Hurry up and apologize to Senior Sister Ruyan!”
“I wish you both everlasting love and happiness!”
His righteous and powerful words immediately earned praise from many elders.
He was indeed the best candidate for the new Holy Son. His character, cultivation, and potential were all outstanding!
But to Chen Xuan, these words sounded like sharp knives, full of sarcasm.
Just as he was about to refute, Du Meng angrily shouted, “Ji Wushuang, stop pretending to be a good guy! Yesterday, everyone saw you and Liu Ruyan acting intimately by Crescent Lake! You even wiped her tears…”
“Was it you who broke her virginity mark? Damn you!”
“How dare you!”
Ji Yaoyue was furious upon hearing this!
She struck Du Meng with a palm, sending him flying and coughing blood.
Then she coldly snorted, “Du Meng, how dare you slander Wushuang’s reputation with such nonsense? I will personally visit Rock Peak after this to demand an explanation!”
Ji Wushuang also said angrily, “Senior Brother Du Meng, I merely saw Senior Sister Ruyan weeping by the lake yesterday and went to comfort her. Is there anything wrong with that? I, Ji Wushuang, have always acted honorably and fear no rumors!”
Then he turned, his gaze softening, “Besides… I already have someone I love, and she’s right here on Jade Maiden Peak! Is that explanation enough for you?”
BOOM!
The scene erupted instantly, and everyone began to speculate.
The four beautiful senior sisters standing behind Ji Yaoyue all had their eyes light up with joy!
They were Chen Xuan’s four senior sisters.
Chen Xuan silently helped the injured Du Meng up.
Seeing his four senior sisters secretly glancing at Ji Wushuang with affection, his heart sank even further!
He had risked his life to protect Jade Maiden Peak, only to become a cripple for a little over a month, and they had already changed their attitude toward him, their disdain overflowing…
To think he once saw them as people worth protecting with his life!
At this moment, Ji Yaoyue looked at him in disappointment and said, “A woman’s chastity is priceless, Chen Xuan. Whether or not the wedding continues today, you owe Ruyan a public apology!”
Chen Xuan’s face darkened, and he decisively shook his head!
He said nothing.
But inside, it felt as if his heart was being torn apart, bleeding painfully!
He now understood… Ji Yaoyue had sided with Ji Wushuang from the very beginning and had conspired with those two shameless dogs to set him up!
“You!”
Ji Yaoyue trembled with rage as she saw Chen Xuan shaking his head, her ample chest heaving violently, as if it could no longer bear the weight, making many present feel an urge to rush up and support her…
Senior Sister Zhao Caiyue immediately scolded, “How dare you, Chen Xuan! How dare you defy Master’s good intentions? Jade Maiden Peak has truly raised an ungrateful wolf!”
She glared at him coldly, as if he was filth contaminating her eyes.
Second Senior Sister Shen Qingqing also flattered, “Master, you shouldn’t waste your anger on such a degenerate waste. Compared to Little Junior Brother, he’s not even worthy to carry his shoes! Poor Ruyan, she gave her heart to the wrong man.”
Third Senior Sister Bai Ling said disdainfully, “Chen Xuan, you truly are shameless. You dared to eat swan meat like a toad and now you refuse to admit it. Such behavior is disgusting! You’re not worthy to stay on Jade Maiden Peak!”
Fourth Senior Sister Mu Xueyuan mocked, “Third Sister, you’re wrong! Our junior brother is actually very clever! He dares not marry Ruyan because she’s the most beautiful woman in the Desolate Heaven Domain, admired by countless prodigies.”
“If their marriage becomes known, Chen Xuan might be assassinated within days!”
“But Chen Xuan isn’t willing to let such a beauty slip away, so he tricked Ruyan into giving him her body, and now he hides on the wedding day… I suppose that counts as quite a win for him!”
BOOM!
Mu Xueyuan’s words immediately sparked a heated discussion.
Many people suddenly realized and the more they thought about it, the more they found it reasonable…
They looked at Chen Xuan with increasing disdain, and even though Du Meng and a few others loudly refuted, it was completely useless!
“Damn it!”
Chen Xuan gritted his teeth, glaring angrily at his four senior sisters.
All these years of selfless devotion to them had been for nothing—it was like feeding a pack of dogs!
At that moment, Liu Ruyan, dressed in a red wedding gown, her beauty unmatched, trembled as she cried.
Her tearful face, delicate and pitiful, stirred sympathy from everyone.
At a certain moment.
Liu Ruyan wiped her tears and pleaded, “Chen Xuan, if you want to kill me, don’t use the Sword of Love, okay? Don’t you know how much I cherished our engagement? My heart is shattered now!”
Many male disciples of the Grand Righteous Sword Sect also had their hearts shattered, wishing they could pull out their treasures and blast Chen Xuan to pieces!
Too despicable!
How could someone like Chen Xuan have once been the Holy Son of the Grand Righteous Sword Sect?
What a disgrace to the sect!
For a while, the curses grew louder.
Chen Xuan listened to Liu Ruyan’s words and only felt as if he had swallowed filth, the disgust in his heart reaching its peak.
“Everyone calm down! I believe Senior Brother must have his reasons. Even if what Fourth Senior Sister said is true, it’s understandable…”
Ji Wushuang tried to defend Chen Xuan, only to be met with even more curses.
At this moment, Liu Ruyan suddenly stopped crying and looked up.
Her teary eyes were filled with despair, like an abandoned kitten.
“Chen Xuan, I humiliated myself, throwing away my self-respect to give myself to you… and you think you did nothing wrong? I came joyfully today in my wedding dress, but I never imagined such an ending!”
“Do you know? Even if I randomly picked a disciple from the sect to marry, he’d be a hundred times better than you, this lazy, dirty pig!”
Her cold, beautiful eyes were full of broken sorrow.
Ji Yaoyue finished speaking and solemnly saluted Liu Ruyan.
Many male disciples at the scene panicked, fearing Ji Yaoyue would force the two back together…
Chen Xuan curled his lips and suddenly felt that the master he once respected… was utterly hypocritical!
Liu Ruyan gave a sorrowful smile and said, “Elder Ji, why don’t we let all the disciples here decide whether I should marry or not?”
“No marriage! No marriage!”
Before she finished, many male disciples shouted.
Soon, the clamor echoed over Jade Maiden Peak.
“I know the answer now!”
Liu Ruyan looked at Chen Xuan coldly, mockingly, “Chen Xuan, in respect of everyone’s will, I, Liu Ruyan, officially annul and cancel the engagement!”
As she spoke, the corner of her eye glanced toward Ji Wushuang, with a hint of flirtation.
“Annul the engagement? Do you even have the right?”
A sudden cold voice rang out, stunning everyone!
They turned toward the voice!
Chen Xuan stood upright, exuding an aura of authority without anger.
It was him who had spoken.
Under everyone’s shocked gaze, Chen Xuan said coldly, “You only know I once cultivated the Heaven-grade technique ‘Nine Yang Profound Heaven Art,’ but do you know that to cultivate it, one must remain pure yang?”
“Though my cultivation is crippled, the Nine Yang Battle Body still exists, and my blood still contains pure yang essence, enough to activate the Pure Yang Pearl!”
“Since Liu Ruyan falsely accused me of taking her body, then I, Chen Xuan, will prove my innocence in front of everyone!”
Liu Ruyan froze!
Everyone froze!
Du Meng, however, was overjoyed!
He immediately took out a Pure Yang Pearl and a dagger from his storage ring, laughing, “Brother Xuan, I happen to have a Pure Yang Pearl right here!”
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Chen Xuan cut his finger.
Drops of crimson blood fell onto the Pure Yang Pearl, which absorbed them and burst into dazzling golden light!
“Hahaha! You all saw that, right? Brother Xuan is still a virgin! Liu Ruyan was lying all along!” Du Meng laughed heartily, thoroughly delighted.
At this moment, the sun rose from the horizon, casting golden light upon Chen Xuan.
In that moment, Chen Xuan stood like a golden-armored war god, mighty and imposing!
Many people were stunned, recalling Chen Xuan’s heroic deeds on the battlefield over the years!
Then, Chen Xuan looked around coldly and shouted, “The facts prove that you, Liu Ruyan, are nothing but a filthy whore who sleeps with anyone! Remember, it is I, the Holy Son, who is annulling you! Get out of Jade Maiden Peak at once—don’t dirty my eyes!”
