After Being Expelled from the Sect, My Beautiful Master Begged Me for Forgiveness - Chapter 35:

Chapter 35: She Is Magnanimous, So You Willingly Kneel and Fawn Over Her!:

Inside the Grand Righteous Hall, all eyes focused on Chen Xuan, filled with ridicule, mockery, disdain, and schadenfreude. 

In their view, Chen Xuan was nothing more than a pathetic clown, trying to act tough while secretly giving in. If he wanted to bow his head and admit defeat, why bother keeping up appearances? Truly despicable!

“Chen Xuan, it seems you still understand respect for your master, huh? Privately offering Yaoyue a treasure that helped her break through her bottleneck overnight and reach the Soul Formation Realm?” Li Yinglian slowly spoke, unable to hide the delight and satisfaction in his tone. “And judging by the growth of her spiritual sense, it should be at the level of a top-grade 6th tier Soul Formation Realm cultivator. In the future, she will definitely be able to condense a Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect!”

“What? Top-grade 6th tier Soul Formation Realm?” The others, including Daoist Santong, were all stunned, overwhelmed with envy. After all, to progress further in the Soul Formation Realm, one had to reach the 6th tier or higher. The standard measurement was the growth of one’s spiritual sense. Such top-tier Soul Formation cultivators were revered as Soul Formation powerhouses, capable of condensing their own Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect, their strength comparable to ten ordinary Soul Formation cultivators.

Chi Xuzi was currently a 4th tier 3rd grade Soul Formation cultivator. Unless he encountered some great fortune, he would be stuck at the 4th tier 9th grade for life. Li Yinglian, on the other hand, was a peak 8th tier 9th grade Soul Formation powerhouse, so his judgment was as good as an official announcement.

In the current Grand Righteous Sword Sect, the position of vice sect master had been vacant ever since the previous one fell at the hands of the Demonic Path. Ji Yaoyue’s sudden breakthrough skyrocketed her status, making it almost certain she would sit on the vice sect master’s seat in the near future. After all, the gap between an ordinary Soul Formation cultivator and a true powerhouse was immense!

At that moment, a petite, fair-skinned beautiful woman stepped out from the crowd. She spoke coldly, “Chen Xuan, your filial piety is commendable indeed. But you had such a treasure and didn’t bring it out sooner… Only offering it when you had no place to stand makes people doubt how sincere your ‘filial piety’ really is.”

This woman was Cui Yingying, a 5th tier 8th grade Nascent Soul Realm elder, who often quarreled with Ji Yaoyue.

Upon hearing this, Ji Yaoyue smiled proudly and mocked, “Cui Yingying, why are you so sour? Back when Chen Xuan was still promising, you envied me—fine, I could tolerate that. But now that he’s a cripple, and just fulfilling his duty as a disciple, you’re still jealous? Don’t you think that makes you a pathetic failure?”

“You!” Cui Yingying’s brows furrowed, feeling extremely annoyed. Damn it! She had only wanted to stir things up between the master and disciple for some entertainment, but instead, Ji Yaoyue stole the show again…

Cui Yingying quickly thought ahead to the day when her mortal enemy would become vice sect master… Her chest hurt from frustration! She glared fiercely at Chen Xuan. Caught in the crossfire, Chen Xuan was also fuming. He retorted on the spot, “Elder Cui, you’re getting old, better take care of your health. Why are your eyes twitching? You weren’t that good-looking to begin with, and now you’re even harder to look at.”

“Insolent!” Cui Yingying trembled with rage, releasing her Nascent Soul Realm pressure as she cursed, “Chen Xuan, you really are despicable! Even after all Ji Yaoyue has done to you, you still lick her boots so eagerly? Just because she’s ‘magnanimous,’ you think that makes her so great?”

“‘Magnanimous’!”

These four words once again made everyone look toward Ji Yaoyue… Her grand and majestic demeanor made many swallow their saliva uncontrollably.

“Enough!” Li Yinglian waved his hand, directly suppressing Cui Yingying’s aura. He spoke unhappily, “Elder Cui, Chen Xuan did well this time! Not only did he offer a great treasure to help Yaoyue break through, but the third condition he proposed also displayed the demeanor of a Holy Son! You will not disrespect him.”

“Understood…” Cui Yingying suppressed her frustration and responded respectfully.

What she didn’t know was that Chen Xuan was also sulking inside. What ‘offering a treasure’? He had only wanted to humiliate Ji Yaoyue and vent his frustration. Who would have thought she could be that insane?

“When Ji Yaoyue was painting, her face was flushed, her eyes dazed, and she was humming softly… Could it be she was fantasizing about… me… while painting? This is just too crazy…” Chen Xuan suddenly recalled a detail, his expression turning strange, unable to calm down.

He regretted it deeply. If he had known, he wouldn’t have proposed the second condition…

A short while later, Da Mengzi was summoned into the hall. He was the only one Chen Xuan trusted.

“Da Mengzi, take out five hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones!” Chen Xuan took off the Panlong Treasure Ring from his finger and threw it to Da Mengzi.

Though he had already rebuilt his cultivation to the 9th stage Qi Refining Realm, thanks to the Heaven-defying concealing ability of the Nine Yang True Dragon Art, no one in the hall could sense it. For now, Chen Xuan had no intention of revealing this trump card. The Disciple Selection Conference would be the moment he shocked the world and reclaimed his reputation!

“Understood!” Da Mengzi nodded in response, though his eyes flashed with sadness and helplessness. His good brother had been bullied too much. But right now, he had no other choice.

When the five hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones were taken out, they piled up like small mountains in the center of the hall, making many of those present green with envy.

Dugu Xie sighed with regret, “Actually, if Chen Xuan had focused on cultivation these past years, with the resources he had, he could have easily broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm, even the Soul Formation Realm. And with his talent, at any stage, he would likely have been above 6th tier! How could he have ended up self-destructing his 9th Grade Golden Core and becoming a cripple?”

The Grand Righteous Hall fell into a sudden silence.

Everyone looked at Chen Xuan, and many elders and disciples of the sect lowered their heads in shame. They all knew Dugu Xie was right. As the Holy Son, Chen Xuan had devoted himself selflessly to the sect, to the point of neglecting his own cultivation.

At this moment, a cold mocking voice sounded, “As the Holy Son, isn’t it his duty to do things for the sect? What’s there to regret? Wushuang will definitely do better than Chen Xuan!”

The speaker was Ji Yaoyue. She stood proudly, her plump figure forming a perfect S-curve, breathtakingly beautiful.

At this moment, arrogance coiled in Ji Yaoyue’s heart like a venomous snake. She had already forgotten the disciple who once thought only of the sect and loyally served her. She had even forgotten the times when she praised Chen Xuan countless times and was proud to be his master.

“Hehe!” Chen Xuan sneered twice, speaking indifferently, “Everyone, no need to feel sorry for a cripple like me. Just line up to visit Holy Son Ji Wushuang and complete my third condition.”

Li Yinglian, hearing this, quickly issued the order.

Thus, Chi Xuzi, Elder Tong Hammer, and others took the spirit stones to repair the Mountain Protection Array and the Creation Life Ancient Formation. As for the rest of the Grand Righteous Sword Sect members, they all lined up and flew toward Jade Maiden Peak…

Da Mengzi returned and handed the Panlong Treasure Ring back to Chen Xuan. He grumbled, “Brother Xuan, you really didn’t need to flatter Ji Wushuang like this. With so many people blessing him, won’t his tail just reach the sky?”

Chen Xuan smiled meaningfully, “Not necessarily? If Ji Wushuang doesn’t get so angry that he coughs up blood and dies, then his life is really tough. Do you believe it?”
