After Being Expelled from the Sect, My Beautiful Master Begged Me for Forgiveness - Chapter 48:

Chapter 48: Honey Trap? The Gentle Trap?

As Bai Bingyan departed, the gathered crowd at the Profound Hall also flew off on their swords.

Chi Xuzi and the others, bound by the Dao Oath, remained stationed at the Profound Hall.

The way everyone looked at Chen Xuan became complicated… though mostly filled with gloating.

Anyone could predict the terrifying uproar that would erupt once this news spread to the Southern Territory’s demon clans.

How many young, talented demon cultivators from the Three Great Imperial Bloodlines of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain adored Bai Bingyan?

Would they swallow this humiliation?

Chen Xuan, a cripple, how would he protect himself?

The Crimson Blood Loyal Heart Token? Not enough!

Ji Yaoyue’s resolute rejection of Elder Tian Xing’s plea had already made her stance clear… Chen Xuan was doomed!

However, being able to taste the affection of the Southern Territory’s number one princess, the famous Nine-Tailed White Fox Princess… even if Chen Xuan were to die, it would not be in vain!

Du Meng threw his arm around Chen Xuan’s shoulders, laughing boldly, “Brother Xuan, come! Let’s drink! Tonight, we won’t stop till we’re drunk!”

“Count me in!” Shi Lei laughed.

Niu Ben also laughed heartily, “Me too!”

The four of them headed to a side hall in the Profound Hall and started drinking.

Chen Xuan smiled emotionally, his eyes misty.

True friendship is seen in adversity!

All these years of devotion to Jade Maiden Peak… only to be repaid by a pack of ungrateful wolves!

But, he had gained a few loyal brothers—that was enough!

Moonlight poured in, bright and clear.

The four sat cross-legged, drinking and chatting freely, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Chen Xuan, drunk and hazy, gazed out into the night sky, tears streaming down uncontrollably.

A man doesn’t easily shed tears, only when his heart is truly broken!

He worried whether Bai Bingyan, carrying his child, would encounter danger after leaving.

Once the news reached Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, would it bring great trouble to his wife?

“I must become stronger! I must amaze the world at the Disciple Selection Conference!”

“I must become Immortal Mu Yun’s personal disciple!”

“I must ask Immortal Mu Yun to accompany me to Qingqiu to propose marriage!”

“I must ask Immortal Mu Yun to cure the strange poison in Elder Tian Xing’s body!”

Chen Xuan clenched his fists tightly, roaring within his heart.

His eyes were filled with intense desire and determination!

At that moment, his head once again erupted in terrifying pain.

This time, he did not scream but endured with bulging veins on his face…

Endure it!

As the pain gradually subsided, Chen Xuan’s gaze turned dark and deep.

“What exactly happened over three months ago? Why have I become a cripple, yet someone erased a part of my memory? What… did I see?”

This doubt had long existed in Chen Xuan’s heart, puzzling him endlessly.

Finally, he downed his wine in one gulp, making up his mind.

“With Immortal Mu Yun’s unparalleled means, it shouldn’t be hard to help me recover that memory! Three days later, perhaps the truth will be revealed…”

He faintly suspected… the erased memory was likely related to Ji Yaoyue!

The next morning.

The four lay scattered in the side hall, snoring loudly.

A cold and arrogant voice rang out, “Chen Xuan, wake up, Saintess Liu Ruyan is waiting for you outside the Profound Hall…”

“Hmm?”

Chen Xuan shivered, instantly sobering up.

At the doorway, Dugu Xie stood with arms crossed.

He looked at the four with a hint of envy in his eyes.

Dugu Xie was solitary by nature and had no friends for years, thus he envied Chen Xuan greatly.

“You said… Liu Ruyan is looking for me?” Chen Xuan asked in confusion.

“Yes!” Dugu Xie nodded slightly, spitting out a single word.

At this point, Du Meng and Niu Ben were already cursing, trying to stop Chen Xuan from going to see her.

According to Du Meng, who knew what kind of devious scheme Liu Ruyan was planning? Better to be cautious…

“No worries.”

Chen Xuan stood up directly and walked out.

He wanted to see what tricks Liu Ruyan had up her sleeve!

Outside the Profound Hall.

Liu Ruyan’s skirt fluttered, her icy, fragile beauty breathtaking, her figure graceful and enchanting, like a blooming white lotus.

Hearing footsteps, she turned her head.

Liu Ruyan smiled gently, sighing, “Chen Xuan, today’s morning sun is beautiful. It reminds me of…”

“Get to the point. If you have something to say, spit it out!” Chen Xuan interrupted coldly, showing no courtesy!

“You… do you really hate me that much? Brother Xuan, if… I tell you that my chastity mark was forcibly taken, not willingly given, would you… believe me?” Liu Ruyan spoke softly, her expression filled with disappointment.

She bit her rosy lips, her beautiful eyes misty, appearing pitiful.

If it were someone like Situ Yulong, he would have long been entranced and embraced this beauty without a second thought!

But!!!

Chen Xuan was not such a lustful fool; he had his dignity and pride!

“I believe… your damn nonsense! Get lost!”

Chen Xuan roared out, startling even Chi Xuzi and the others quietly eavesdropping inside the Profound Hall.

“You!… Chen Xuan, you’re so heartless! My heart hurts so much!…”

Liu Ruyan burst into tears, heartbreakingly flying off on her sword.

“Heh!…”

Chen Xuan sneered, completely disdainful!

The snake’s mouth and the wasp’s sting.

Neither is as venomous… as a woman’s heart.

Chen Xuan had long seen through Liu Ruyan’s vicious nature.

She came this time only because she saw potential profit!

And indeed, Liu Ruyan had changed her mind recently, wanting to use Chen Xuan… With the Disciple Selection Conference approaching, she wanted to make a last-ditch effort!

“Brother Xuan, that was awesome!”

“So satisfying! Brother Xuan, the way you roasted Liu Ruyan was truly epic!”

Du Meng and the others came out, all giving him a thumbs-up.

Initially, they had been worried that Chen Xuan couldn’t resist the honey trap and fall into Liu Ruyan’s gentle snare.

Now it seemed… they had worried for nothing!

When this news reached Ji Wushuang’s ears, he was about to explode!

His features twisted with rage, feeling like a green light was flashing over his head.

Inside, he roared furiously, “Slut! Truly a woman fit for any man!”

But Zhao Caiyue and the other three were delighted, spreading various rumors around the Grand Righteous Sword Sect.

Time flowed like water.

Soon, two days passed.

At dawn, inside the Grand Righteous Hall.

Streams of light shot in from various peaks!

Chen Xuan, accompanied by Niu Ben and the others, also arrived at the main hall.

He sat boldly on his Holy Son seat, a flash of undisguised anticipation in his eyes!

Tomorrow, the Disciple Selection Conference would begin!

The Nine Sects and Thirteen Gates, along with many powerful forces and prodigies from the Central State, would gather to witness Immortal Mu Yun select his personal disciple!

At this moment, the Grand Righteous Sword Sect would also dispatch a team to head to the Mu Yun Mountain Range in the heart of Central State.

“Whoosh!”

A streak of green light flashed into the hall, and seated at the head was none other than Sect Master Li Yinglian.

He scanned the crowd and said expectantly with a smile, “Before heading to the Mu Yun Mountain Range… I, as Sect Master, still have one important matter to announce!”
