After Being Expelled from the Sect, My Beautiful Master Begged Me for Forgiveness - Chapter 2:

Chapter 2: A Fairy’s Face, a Viper’s Heart!

Under the night sky, inside the Grand Hall.

The ever-burning lanterns at the corridor cast shadows of the large red double happiness paper cutouts onto the window lattice, their flickering silhouettes like ferocious beasts devouring the walls of the hall.

Chen Xuan sat on the Holy Son’s throne, carved from millennia-old Warm Sun Jade. He stared mockingly at the pair of dragon-phoenix candles as thick as a child’s arm…

Tonight, he should have been so excited that he couldn’t sleep, eagerly awaiting tomorrow’s wedding.

But now?

He had probably already become the laughingstock of the entire sect!

“Brother Xuan!”

Along with a loud voice, a robust, bronze-skinned young man barged in. He was none other than Chen Xuan’s sworn brother.

Du Meng, a core disciple of the Rock Peak!

As soon as Du Meng entered the hall, his face turned grim, and he cursed, “Damn that Ji Wushuang! That pretty boy is currently chatting intimately with that slut Liu Ruyan by Crescent Lake. The way they look at each other—clearly something’s going on between them!”

“I bet Liu Ruyan lost her virginity mark because she was fooling around with Ji Wushuang…”

Chen Xuan’s gaze dimmed upon hearing this.

He clenched his fists tightly, gritting his teeth as he said, “No matter! Now that I see that wretched woman’s true face, it’s enough! Tomorrow, I will announce the annulment of the engagement!”

“What? Announce the annulment?” Du Meng was startled but then gave a thumbs up. “That’s a bold decision! Though Liu Ruyan is as beautiful as a celestial maiden, since she’s a promiscuous, unfaithful woman, she’s not worthy of you, Brother Xuan!”

Chen Xuan forced a bitter smile.

At that moment, his heart suddenly tightened!

Liu Ruyan deliberately revealed that her virginity mark was gone just to force him to break the engagement!

Under such unbearable humiliation, how could he continue to serve as Holy Son?

In this way, Liu Ruyan would not only avoid marrying him but also help her lover seize the position of Holy Son!

It all made sense now!

“Ji Wushuang!”

Chen Xuan’s teeth almost shattered as his eyes turned bloodshot.

That pair of despicable dogs, truly shameless!

Suddenly!

“Aaaaah!”

Chen Xuan’s head was struck by a sharp pain, and he screamed in agony, some vague images attempting to surface in his mind.

Du Meng quickly checked his condition, frowning deeply in worry.

He said gravely, “Brother Xuan, this headache of yours seems to be due to someone erasing part of your memory! You must be careful, for an innocent man is guilty if he possesses treasure!”

Chen Xuan shook his head, saying, “Erasing memories is a forbidden art that easily backfires. Who would go to such trouble for a cripple like me? Besides, even if someone stole the Haotian Sword and the Panlong Treasure Ring, they wouldn’t dare use them recklessly, right?”

As he said this, he suddenly froze!

Chen Xuan’s tone turned cold, “But if I willingly handed over those two treasures, it would be a different story…”

“What do you mean?” Du Meng was confused, his eyes filled with pity and helplessness.

Was the once peerless prodigy, after losing his cultivation, already falling uncontrollably into the abyss of mediocrity?

After Du Meng left, Chen Xuan couldn’t calm down for a long time.

Ji Wushuang and Liu Ruyan were most likely conspiring together against him!

Did Master know about this?

Regardless… the matter of giving up the Holy Son position and those two treasures was something he would never do!

Afterward, Chen Xuan entered his cultivation chamber, sitting cross-legged inside the Spirit Gathering Array, emptying his mind…

After the time it took for an incense stick to burn.

Chen Xuan sensed the petrified “True Dragon Heart” in his dantian suddenly emitting a dazzling golden light!

This “True Dragon Heart” was something Chen Xuan had accidentally obtained when exploring an ancient sacred relic.

It was largely thanks to the True Dragon Heart that he had been able to condense an unparalleled 9th Grade Golden Core.

At that moment.

An intense pain swept through Chen Xuan’s entire body!

He gritted his teeth and endured it, his eyes filled with excitement… because that brilliant golden light was slowly healing his shattered dantian!

And the newly healed part of the dantian seemed even more extraordinary, faintly emanating dragon might!

At dawn.

Chen Xuan opened his eyes, his face filled with ecstatic joy!

About one-tenth of his shattered dantian had already healed!

Moreover, the True Dragon Heart had transmitted an ancient supreme technique to him, the “Nine Yang True Dragon Art”?

To cultivate this art, the True Dragon Heart’s assistance was essential!

The “Nine Yang True Dragon Art” had nine levels. Upon mastering the first level of the Qi Refining Realm, one could condense the True Dragon Overlord Body and the Nine Dragon True Essence! Upon reaching the Golden Core Realm, one could even condense a Golden Core surpassing the 9th Grade—an immortal-grade core…

This was truly an invincible art of utmost yang, dominance, and strength!

Chen Xuan clenched his fists, whispering excitedly, “In just ten days, I will be able to cultivate the Nine Yang True Dragon Art!”

At the same time.

In a secluded ancient hall, a white-browed Daoist suddenly stood up in excitement!

He waved his hand and summoned an ancient bronze mirror. On its surface, a figure appeared—it was Chen Xuan!

“Hahaha! This little fellow has the aura of a Supreme Yang True Dragon, with a golden dragon shadow suspended above his head. He is the perfect candidate to reinforce the seal of the Great Dragon Formation! I once thought that three years from now, the Black Heaven Demon Lord in the Abyss of Black Sin would break the formation and bring about a world-ending catastrophe!”

“But now, I have finally found a way to prevent it! The Desolate Heaven Domain is saved!”

The white-browed Daoist laughed, causing the entire ancient hall to shake, unable to withstand the power contained in his laughter!

He was none other than the publicly acknowledged strongest expert of the Desolate Heaven Domain, Immortal Mu Yun!

At that moment, a dark shadow flickered in the corner of the hall, revealing a black-robed figure.

He immediately knelt down, saying excitedly, “Congratulations, Master! I know this person. He is Chen Xuan, the Holy Son of the Grand Righteous Sword Sect! Unfortunately, he self-destructed his 9th Grade Golden Core over a month ago, becoming a cripple. I fear…”

Immortal Mu Yun, however, still wore a calm smile, saying confidently, “As the saying goes, without destruction, there can be no creation! The Supreme Yang True Dragon aura within this little fellow is healing his broken dantian. His future achievements will surpass mine!”

“I originally intended to try my luck at the disciple selection conference, but I didn’t expect that my destined disciple would appear ahead of time! Wonderful! Wonderful!”

“Shadow, go to the Grand Righteous Sword Sect at once to protect Chen Xuan’s safety. At the same time, observe his character from the shadows!”

“Yes, Master!”

The black-robed figure replied respectfully and immediately vanished into the void!

…

The next day.

Joyous music echoed atop Jade Maiden Peak, as streams of light flew over from every peak.

Some rode flying swords, some flew on spirit boats, others walked on clouds…

Supported by the bridesmaids, Liu Ruyan, dressed in a bright red wedding gown, descended from the clouds toward the Grand Hall.

Her steps were light and graceful, exuding the aura of an immortal fairy.

The bright sunlight shone upon her, making her phoenix coronet and ceremonial robe shimmer dazzlingly, the pearls and tassels swaying gently—her face was breathtakingly beautiful!

All around, there were suppressed exclamations and whispers, along with countless dazed stares…

This was the allure of Liu Ruyan, the number one beauty of the Grand Righteous Sword Sect!

She walked gracefully, her posture breathtakingly beautiful!

Every frown and smile of hers seemed enough to topple kingdoms!

Everyone at Jade Maiden Peak was alarmed and gathered.

When Chen Xuan appeared, the eyes of many young male disciples of the Grand Righteous Sword Sect blazed with jealousy, almost bursting into flames!

The thought of Liu Ruyan, this celestial goddess, about to be married to Chen Xuan, a cripple, lying beneath him, tenderly pleasing him…

Many disciples felt even more disgusted than if they had swallowed a dead rat!

Jealousy, mockery, disdain, unwillingness, resentment, envy—all these emotions were focused on Chen Xuan.

Of course, a few disciples still respected and felt grateful toward Chen Xuan, their gazes filled with blessings.

Chen Xuan and Liu Ruyan looked at each other from afar.

Both their gazes were icy cold, as if there was no trace of emotion left.

At this moment, whispers arose around them.

“Junior Sister Ruyan, with such a celestial appearance, marrying our crippled Holy Son… truly unworthy!”

“She is our sect’s brightest pearl, and even in the entire Desolate Heaven Domain, she’s among the most stunning beauties. What a pity…”

“My dream goddess is actually going to marry that useless Chen Xuan. I feel like dying! Aaaaah!”

Ji Yaoyue furrowed her brows, shouting coldly, “Silence!”

With her reprimand, the whispers finally ceased.

At this moment, Ji Wushuang also stood up, speaking righteously, “The marriage between Senior Brother and Senior Sister Ruyan was personally approved by the Sect Master and blessed by the elders! How dare you speak such nonsense?”

His extraordinary bearing made many female disciples blush with admiration.

A young man in armor stepped forward, speaking with righteous indignation, “Chen Xuan, as a cripple who can’t even defeat a janitor in the sect, is no longer worthy of Senior Sister Ruyan, whose future is bright!”

His name was Dai Tao, Chen Xuan’s longtime rival.

With his words, the crowd immediately echoed his sentiments.

“Disciple…”

Ji Yaoyue glanced at Chen Xuan, signaling him to announce it.

Tap!

Chen Xuan suppressed his anger and stepped forward, saying in a deep voice, “Today’s wedding is canceled! I apologize for troubling all of you to come.”

With these words, the entire place erupted!

Who would have thought that Chen Xuan would actually annul the engagement?

Some began to mock Liu Ruyan’s lost virginity mark, while others ridiculed Chen Xuan for not knowing what was good for him.

Dai Tao laughed heartily, giving a thumbs-up, “Holy Son Chen Xuan, I respect you… but given your crippled status, I doubt anyone will marry you in the future! I suggest you try your luck with some of the prettier female janitors.”

“Go seduce your own mother!”

A furious roar came from afar—it was Du Meng, glaring fiercely at Dai Tao.

For a moment, the atmosphere was thick with tension!

“Enough!”

Liu Ruyan’s cold, despairing cry silenced the scene.

Her clear, beautiful eyes shimmered with heartbreak and sorrow.

In front of everyone, Liu Ruyan said with utter disappointment, “Chen Xuan, three days ago at the Grand Hall under the flowers and moonlight, I gave you my body to prove my undying love for you!”

“And yet, today you cancel the wedding… humiliating me so heartlessly! My heart aches…”

BOOM!

Liu Ruyan’s words shocked the crowd!

Those who had suspected Chen Xuan of being cuckolded all shut their mouths.

However, their gazes toward Chen Xuan became even more disdainful.

What a pathetic coward who denies everything after pulling up his pants!

Chen Xuan was stunned!

He was sure that three nights ago, he had been drinking alone deep into the night. There was absolutely no romantic encounter with Liu Ruyan!

She was lying!!!

Looking at Liu Ruyan’s tear-streaked face, Chen Xuan suddenly felt she was a complete stranger…

What kind of venomous heart lay hidden beneath that fairy-like face?

As the voices of condemnation and curses rang out, Chen Xuan suddenly realized something horrifying!

This wretched woman’s slander was meant to utterly ruin his reputation, condemning him to eternal damnation!
