Watching Qin Yuan’s departing figure, Nangong Liuli slowly shook her head, a trace of disappointment flickering through her eyes.
“Once the most outstanding prodigy of the Supreme Profound Sect, and now reduced to this state.”
In the past, Qin Yuan had been peerless in bearing and unmatched in talent. He had been the most dazzling presence in the entire Supreme Profound Sect. Even she could not help but glance at him more than once. Now, however, he had become frivolous, petty, selfish, and narrow-minded.
He had even abandoned the fiancée who loved him deeply and had stood up for him, simply to evade responsibility.
So a person could change this quickly, this suddenly.
…
…
“Qin Yuan! Do you admit your guilt!”
Villains rarely had good luck. Qin Yuan had already felt that deeply.
He had only wanted to hurry back to the Cliff of Contemplation. Yet the moment he stepped out, he was blocked.
The ones who came were none other than his fellow Senior Brothers and Junior Sisters.
All of them glared at him with burning anger.
Qin Yuan shook his head helplessly and said calmly, “Admit my guilt? What crime have I committed?”
Lin Xuan’er’s eyes were red as she glared at Qin Yuan. “You still have the nerve to ask? If you hadn’t used some despicable method to bewitch Senior Sister Gu Qingxue, how could she have turned against Junior Brother Su Fan? How could she have injured Junior Brother Su Fan to this extent? It’s all your fault! You… you’re simply too vicious!”
Qin Yuan was speechless.
He had long expected that Su Fan’s matter would be pinned on him. But their logic still surprised him.
So now he had bewitched Gu Qingxue, causing everything that happened today?
Su Fan was innocent. Gu Qingxue was innocent. He alone was the culprit.
Unbelievable.
“Can you stop spouting nonsense? What the hell does this have to do with me? I was sleeping perfectly fine at the Cliff of Contemplation when those two started fighting. And now you’re blaming me? Are your brains made of mud?”
If the tiger did not show its claws, they really thought he was a sick cat.
These people did not have any protagonist’s halo. Today’s matter had nothing to do with the main plotline.
He could act however he pleased.
“How can you be so vulgar!” Lin Xuan’er’s pretty face flushed red with anger. The others could not hold back either.
“Qin Yuan! You were once a genius disciple of the Supreme Profound Sect. How can you be so shameless? You’re disgracing our sect!”
Lan Yun’s third disciple, Liu Qingyun.
Liu Qingyun was also a genius, proud by nature. They had not interacted much in the past. Yet today he dared to shout at him.
“What are you looking at? Am I wrong?” Liu Qingyun said arrogantly without fear.
“You are a Royal Prince of the Eastern Royal Empire! Yet you are so sinister and vicious, using underhanded means to bewitch Junior Sister Gu Qingxue into harming a fellow disciple. And now you foul your mouth with curses. You are not only disgracing the Supreme Profound Sect, you are disgracing the Eastern Royal Empire as well!”
Bang!
Before Liu Qingyun could finish speaking, he was sent flying like a cannonball, leaving a streak of blood in the air.
Everything happened too quickly. By the time everyone reacted, Liu Qingyun had already crashed ten meters away.
“Senior Brother Liu!”
They hurried forward and saw Liu Qingyun covered in blood, his face pale. He was clearly badly injured.
“Qin Yuan! You’ve gone too far! You actually attacked Senior Brother Liu! Do you even have the sect in your eyes?”
Bang!
The moment that person finished speaking, he too was struck by a palm and blasted ten meters away, coughing up blood.
“You bastard! How dare you harm fellow disciples? I won’t let you off today!”
Another disciple roared with reddened eyes.
Yet before he could make a move, Qin Yuan knocked him down with a single palm strike.
This time, no one dared to speak.
Qin Yuan stood where he was, expressionless, yet exuding an overwhelming pressure.
“Go on. Why are you all silent now? Weren’t you going to teach me a lesson?”
The crowd fell completely silent.
Qin Yuan narrowed his eyes. “All this time, you’ve been disrespectful toward me, your Senior Brother. I didn’t bother with you. I never expected you to push your luck. Who I am and what I should do is not for you useless fools to dictate. Today, I’ll give you a small lesson. If there’s a next time, don’t blame me for showing no mercy.”
If the tiger did not roar, they truly thought he was a sick cat.
When dealing with Su Fan, he had endured everything for the sake of following the plotline, treating it as acting.
But today’s matter had little to do with the plotline.
If they kept barking, he would not be polite.
As for whether today’s actions would cause a butterfly effect and alter the future plotline, Qin Yuan was not worried at all.
Su Fan’s protagonist halo was not decoration. Visit g.com for the full chapter.
As long as Su Fan was fine, even if these disciples were beaten into submission today, they would eventually be influenced by that halo and return to being background characters.
Humiliated like this, the disciples’ faces flushed red with anger, yet none dared to speak.
Recently, they had repeatedly suppressed Qin Yuan, and he had not resisted at all.
That made them forget one crucial fact.
Qin Yuan was the number one genius of the Supreme Profound Sect.
His combat strength was unmatched.
Even many outer sect elders and stewards were no match for him.
At the same time, he was a Royal Prince of the Eastern Royal Empire, an existence equal in status to the Supreme Profound Sect.
With such background and talent, what right did they have to lecture him?
Many disciples felt a chill of fear at the thought.
But there were exceptions.
“Qin Yuan! Just because you have a powerful background and extraordinary talent, do you think you can do whatever you want? Do you even have the sect in your eyes?”
A delicate voice rang out.
It was Lin Xuan’er.
As Su Fan’s most loyal supporter, she was the most deeply influenced by the protagonist halo. Coupled with a life of being pampered since childhood, she had developed an arrogant personality.
Even after witnessing Qin Yuan’s methods, she still stood up and glared at him angrily.
Qin Yuan turned his head and looked at her with amusement. “Oh? Are you… teaching me how to behave?”
“I…” Lin Xuan’er felt a flicker of fear under his gaze, but quickly forced herself to gather courage again. “Am I wrong? You used vicious means to harm fellow disciples. You were locked in the Cliff of Contemplation and still refuse to repent. And today, in front of everyone, you injured so many Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers. You… you’re simply inhuman!”
As soon as she finished speaking, many people secretly gave her a thumbs-up.
With Qin Yuan this dangerous today, she still dared to provoke him.
Impressive.
Before they could guess what Qin Yuan would do, he answered with action.
He looked at Lin Xuan’er and smiled faintly.
Bang!
The next moment, Lin Xuan’er flew backward like a kite with its string cut, leaving a streak of blood in the air.
