“Junior Sister Yun, don’t let Luo Bei deceive you. He’s nothing but a wolf in sheep’s clothing.”
“Exactly, Junior Sister Yun. Why are you still protecting that bastard?”
“That’s right. We might as well kill him with a single slap.”
The nearby Sword Pavilion disciples tried to persuade Yun Biluo one after another.
Tears glistened in Yun Biluo’s eyes, yet her expression remained stubborn. “I don’t blame Senior Brother.”
[Damn, that’s award-winning acting.]
[There’s practically no chance of survival after encountering a top-tier green tea like this.]
[Luo Bei would never dream that the Junior Sister he dotes on would scheme against him like this.]
The beautiful middle-aged woman angrily rebuked Luo Bei, “Luo Bei, look at her! Even now, your Junior Sister is still defending you. Has your conscience been eaten by dogs?”
“Disciple really didn’t…”
“You still refuse to admit it?” The beautiful middle-aged woman’s voice was already filled with killing intent.
Yun Biluo suddenly looked back at Luo Bei and gave him a sorrowful smile, tears filling her eyes. “Senior Brother, I truly don’t blame you. You must live well.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand and struck toward the Baihui acupoint on top of her head.
“No! Junior Sister Yun…”
The nearby Sword Pavilion disciples paled in shock.
“Don’t, Junior Sister Yun!”
Luo Bei reacted quickly and grabbed her hand.
[It’s over. Luo Bei has been forced into a corner.]
Yun Biluo gazed at Luo Bei with tears in her eyes. “Senior Brother, don’t admit it…”
Luo Bei lowered his voice. “Master, everything was Disciple’s fault. I stole the secret manual first. After Junior Sister Yun discovered me, I destroyed her dantian.”
He bowed and prostrated himself on the ground. “Disciple is guilty. Please punish me, Master.”
‘Haha! You admitted it! Haha! You finally admitted it!’
‘You’re finished, Luo Bei. The Emperor Shitian Sword Dao Origin is mine!’
Yun Biluo was ecstatic inside.
‘No. These two crimes alone aren’t enough to guarantee it.’
‘Then I’ll give you one final blow.’
A chilling gleam flashed through Yun Biluo’s eyes as she looked toward a beautiful female disciple nearby.
The woman nodded slightly, stepped out of the crowd, and knelt before the beautiful middle-aged woman. She greeted her and said, “Master, Disciple has something to report.”
“Junior Brother Luo… a few days ago, he forced Disciple to dual cultivate with him. He’s not human! I’m his Senior Sister!”
“What?”
Her words struck like a thunderbolt.
The surrounding crowd instantly erupted into an uproar.
“Luo Bei…” The beautiful middle-aged woman was utterly disappointed in him.
Luo Bei smiled bitterly. “Disciple admits his guilt.”
He was not certain whether he had actually done what happened that night, but his memories told him that he had.
‘Haha! How could a mere late-stage Golden Core Realm cultivator like you possibly see through my Mortal Dao Immortal Desire Illusion? Today, I’ll make absolutely certain you can never clear your name.’
She then looked at Luo Bei with a shocked expression, as though she were seeing him for the first time. “Senior Brother, how could you do such a thing? I was wrong about you.”
[Tsk, tsk. The final blow. Luo Bei has no chance of turning this around now.]
[Today, having his cultivation crippled and his Sword Bones extracted is probably unavoidable.]
[This Yun Biluo really gets on my nerves.]
[Unfortunately, I can’t interfere while eating gossip.]
[Actually, proving Luo Bei’s innocence would be extremely simple. Just restrain the female disciple who falsely accused Luo Bei of forcing her into dual cultivation and question her with a Truth Spell. Everything would become clear.]
[That woman knows everything.]
[Sorry, Brother Luo. I’d like to help, but there’s nothing I can do while I’m eating gossip.]
‘So you know everything again.’
Luo Qiongyan glanced at Li Qing.
The beautiful middle-aged woman’s tone gradually turned icy. “Luo Bei, I am deeply disappointed in you. The crimes you committed today are unforgivable.”
“Today, I will expel you from my tutelage. Your cultivation will be crippled, your Sword Bones extracted, and you will be expelled from the sect. Do you accept this punishment?”
Luo Bei smiled bitterly. “Disciple accepts.”
Luo Qiongyan suddenly blinked at Li Qing. “Husband, do you want to help him?”
Li Qing froze.
[What? Did Luo Qiongyan notice something?]
[I actually do want to help Luo Bei. His character is pretty decent.]
[Unfortunately, there’s nothing I can do.]
“I understand.”
Luo Qiongyan smiled sweetly.
[Wait, what do you understand?]
[I didn’t say anything!]
“You ungrateful disciple, don’t blame your Master for being ruthless.”
The beautiful middle-aged woman raised her hand and struck Luo Bei with her palm.
However, at that instant, Li Qing felt the surrounding air tremble. Before he could react, he had already appeared in front of Luo Bei.
Luo Qiongyan raised her hand and effortlessly neutralized the beautiful middle-aged woman’s attack with a palm strike of her own.
The beautiful middle-aged woman frowned. “Elder Luo, what are you doing?”
“What am I doing?” Luo Qiongyan smiled faintly. “Pavilion Master Ning, you’re certainly generous. You’re willing to cripple a genius who possesses Sword Bones without the slightest hesitation. Anyone who didn’t know better might think you were the Sect Master.”
“This is an internal matter of our Sword Pavilion. It has nothing to do with Elder Luo.” The beautiful middle-aged woman clearly wasn’t someone who would simply endure being mocked. “I heard Elder Luo kidnapped a pretty boy and took him as your husband. Instead of spending your time being affectionate with him, why are you interfering in other people’s affairs?”
“There will be plenty of time for Husband and me to be affectionate.” Luo Qiongyan smiled at her. “However, a genius possessing Sword Bones appears only once every few hundred years. How could we cripple him so casually? You, Ning Qianxue, may be blind, but I am not.”
[Damn, did this woman take the wrong medicine?]
[Why did she suddenly get involved in this matter?]
‘You little bastard. I’m clearly helping you do what you wanted to do, yet you’re saying I took the wrong medicine. Just wait until our wedding night. I’ll show you how I deal with you.’
A faint chill appeared in the beautiful middle-aged woman’s eyes. “What did you say?”
Luo Qiongyan smiled faintly. “I said you, Ning Qianxue, are blind.” Enjoying the story? Read on at g.com.
“Luo. Qiong. Yan.”
Ning Qianxue stepped forward, and a terrifying pressure instantly erupted from her body.
‘Perfected late-stage King Realm.’
Li Qing immediately sensed her cultivation.
“What’s going on?”
“Why are Elder Luo and Pavilion Master Ning suddenly fighting?”
“No idea.”
“Could there be something else behind this?”
Discussions surged like waves through the surrounding crowd.
‘What’s going on? Why is Luo Qiongyan interfering in this? What exactly is she trying to do?’
Yun Biluo frowned as she stared at Luo Qiongyan.
Luo Qiongyan looked coldly at Ning Qianxue. “Do you think being at the perfected late-stage King Realm makes you very powerful? Why are you releasing your pressure at every opportunity?”
Ning Qianxue replied coldly, “If you don’t give me a satisfactory explanation for what happened today, I’ll tear down your Divine Jade Peak.”
“Fine.” Luo Qiongyan remained perfectly calm. “However, if today’s matter proves that you truly are blind, then you will resign as Pavilion Master of the Sword Pavilion and let me take your place. How about it?”
“Deal.”
Ning Qianxue agreed without the slightest hesitation.
‘The evidence is already conclusive. What unexpected twist could possibly happen?’
‘Once this matter is over, I’ll reduce Divine Jade Peak to ruins.’
[Damn, what is this woman trying to do?]
[Since when did she become interested in the Sword Pavilion?]
[The Sword Pavilion may possess some strength, but surely it isn’t enough to interest a fragment of a Great Emperor’s soul.]
‘Hmph. Can’t figure it out, can you?’
‘Then keep guessing.’
‘I’ve seen you use the Sword Dao several times, Husband. Rather than letting the Emperor Shitian Sword Dao Origin fall into an outsider’s hands, I might as well give it to you.’
“Little sister, you’re quite beautiful. Come here and let me take a good look at you.”
Without warning, Luo Qiongyan reached toward the beautiful female disciple and pulled her directly in front of herself.
‘Not good!’
‘Senior Sister Xuan Xue is the flaw in this entire scheme.’
Yun Biluo’s expression changed drastically.
[No way. Did she really notice something?]
[No. This woman is way too strange. I need to find an opportunity to escape as soon as possible.]
Li Qing’s eyes widened.
‘Hmph. You’re still thinking about escaping?’
‘It seems I’ll have to prepare something special for our wedding night. I refuse to believe I can’t tie down your heart.’
Luo Qiongyan gently bit her lower lip.
