Chapter 40 The Beauty Master Appeared! The World Where Only the Male Lead Gets Injured

Everyone was watching her.

Zhu Wanning, who had been silent the entire time, walked to Lin Xiao’s side with her slender legs.

She first bowed to the elders on the stage, then cupped her hands at her master, Su Mei.

“Master, when I… discovered that Ye Chen had trespassed into the Fairy Pond, I immediately detained him. On the way back to his residence, I saw Junior Sister Chu of the Divine Phoenix Peak flying towards the Phoenix Cry Peak on her sword. I went forward to ask her what was going on, but Junior Sister Chu only said that she was looking for someone and left in a hurry.”

“From the looks of it… just as Senior Brother Lin said, Junior Sister Chu should have been looking for Ye Chen at that time.”

“Therefore…”

She bit her lip. She hesitated for a second, as this was her first time lying in her whole life, “This case of Junior Brother Ye of Heavenly Chi Peak barging into Fairy Pond might be a misunderstanding!”

As soon as this testimony came out.

The entire place was in an uproar!

The elders on the stage whispered to each other with stunned expressions.

“Zhu Wanning is indeed sensible.”

“When I was reading “Emperor Supremacy” as a student in my previous life, I was so focused on Master Su that I forgot about this icy beauty who has both looks and wisdom.”

“But then again, in the original novel, Zhu Wanning never lied and placed great importance on promises. In the middle of the story, she promised Ye Chen, that scumbag, that she would wait for his return to the Azure Mist Sect. She then stayed as the lone protector of Phoenix Cry Peak for hundreds of

years.”

“To think a woman like that is lying to help

me?”

Lin Xiao saw this and felt relieved yet puzzled.

“Wanning, is what you said true? Did you really meet Chu Youwei?”

Su Mei looked at her proud eldest disciple.

Under the gaze of her most respected master, Zhu Wanning’s heart palpitated. She lowered her head and said, “I… wouldn’t dare to lie to Master!”

[I’m sorry, Master! I didn’t mean to deceive you. This Senior Brother Lin of the Divine Phoenix Peak is a wise person. In that Heavenly Dao script, he is the only person in the entire Azure Mist Sect determined to go against Ye Chen! Therefore, he must have his reasons for his actions today!)

She spoke silently to herself.

“Great.”

Su Mei looked at her disciple with a complicated expression for a second before turning to look at Perfected Zi Yun and the elders on the stage.

“Senior Brother Sect Master, as you can see, my disciple has already confirmed Lin Xiao’s words just now. Now it seems that… Disciple Nephew Ye’s intrusion into my Phoenix Peak’s forbidden area last night was indeed a misunderstanding.”

She had hardly finished when an angry shout came.

“Ridiculous!”

The crowd shuddered and turned to look.

A young man in black rushed over with bloodshot eyes and an angry expression.

“Zhu Wanning, you’re lying! You’re in cahoots with Lin Xiao!”

“That Chu Youwei did apologize to me hypocritically! But her goal was to lure me into the forbidden area, the Fairy Pond!”

“She couldn’t wait for me to be caught in the Fairy Pond! How can she even bother to find me out of concern for me!”

After saying that, the young man made up his mind and knelt to the elders on the stage. “Disciple Ye Chen! I was indeed framed by someone this time! I hope that all the heads and elders will uphold justice for me!”

His tearful accusation moved everyone.

“Tsk, what a brazen young man.”

“Forget the fact that he is a vengeful Gary Stu. At the critical moment, he will put down his pride and act according to the situation.”

“As expected, not everyone can be the Chosen One.”

Lin Xiao sneered in his heart.

Then, he took a step forward with a calm expression and looked at Ye Chen. “Junior Brother Ye, I know that you were accidentally injured by your fellow disciples from Phoenix Cry Peak because of this misunderstanding. You were indignant, so you became agitated and spoke without thinking.”

“As your senior, I understand and even feel slightly sorry, but—”

At this point, Lin Xiao raised his voice and his eyes suddenly turned cold. “You can’t ignore the truth and frame the innocent because of the grievances you suffered!”

“How can such narrow-minded actions fit the style of our immortal righteous path?”.

“In the long run, how can I forge a quiet and upright Dao heart and master the Great Dao?”

Every word he said was emotionally-charged and deafening, like a blow to the head!

The hall was silent!

Everyone looked at the center of the hall in a daze. The handsome, tall, and elegant young man in white stood there like justice itself descending from the sky.

At this moment, most of the people present, including Su Mei and Zhu Wanning, had question marks in their hearts.

“Is this righteous young man in front of me really the rumored idle and incompetent Eldest Senior Brother of the Divine Phoenix Peak?”

Even Ye Chen was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted and said angrily, “Lin Xiao,

you…”

However, before he could finish, a chubby hand covered his mouth!

Ye Chen’s heart skipped a beat. He turned around in a daze. Standing behind him was his “master on the outside”, Daoist Yuan Yi!

“My dear disciple, the situation is out of your control. Zhu Wanning’s status in the hearts of the Sect Master and elders is extraordinary. I’m afraid no one will believe you if she comes out to testify.”

“But don’t worry! I believe you! I will repay this grudge a hundredfold in the future! We will work together and make these people pay with their blood!”

“But the current situation… Ahem, ahem, at least it proves that your intrusion into the Fairy Pond was a misunderstanding. It can be considered as clearing your name! Now it seems that Lin Xiao still has some humanity. You shouldn’t stoop to his level for the time being.”

Daoist Yuan Yi used a secrecy technique to transmit his voice and said earnestly.

“This…”

Ye Chen clenched his fists tightly. In the end, he could only forcefully swallow his anger. He lowered his head dejectedly and stopped talking.

Yuan Yi pulled Ye Chen behind him and maintained his usual fake smile. He cupped his hands at the audience and said,

“Chief Su Mei, Senior Brother Sect Master, elders, and Martial Nephews Zhu and Lin, thank you for coming today and clearing my disciple’s name!”

“As everyone heard just now, this case is a misunderstanding! Hahahaha!”

His words immediately eased the tension in the air.

The Perfected Zi Yun cleared his throat and spoke.

“Chief Su Mei, as the interrogator, do you have anything else to ask Lin Xiao?”

Su Mei was originally sizing up the handsome disciple in white. When she heard this, her phoenix eyes froze. After a while, she reacted and replied.

“Senior Brother, just as Senior Brother Yuan Yi said, everything can’t be clearer. Last night’s incident at the Fairy Pond was indeed a misunderstanding. Speaking of which, Disciple Lin, Disciple Chu, and this Disciple Ye are all good children.”

“Isn’t such a truth also within our expectations?”

“Hahahahaha, Chief Su is right! Let’s end this matter here!”

Yuan Yi quickly laughed and grabbed Ye Chen’s arm. “Disciple, although this whole thing is a misunderstanding, you accidentally sued your Senior Brother Lin because you were too emotional. Hurry up and go over, shake hands with him and apologize!”

What!?

(As the only victim of this incident, I was already severely injured. In the end, you still want me to apologize to that immortal rod?]

Hearing this, Ye Chen felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He took two steps back, unable to accept whatever was happening

Yet he knew better.

Just as Daoist Yuan Yi had said, the situation was not theirs to control!

Suddenly, he gritted his teeth and walked towards the handsome young man in white who he felt intense hatred and jealousy for.

“Senior Brother Lin, yes… yes…”

His eyes were bloodshot and every muscle on his face was twitching violently. In the end, he reached out and squeezed out the following words from between his teeth, “I’m sorry! Please forgive my rashness!”

“Forget it. Junior Brother is so sincere. As his senior brother, I naturally won’t pursue the matter.”

Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows and deliberately raised his voice. “Junior Brother Ye, you have to cultivate your body and mind more in the future. Be careful with your words and actions, understand?”

His statement was appropriately generous.

Immediately, the elders and deacons looked relieved and nodded in praise.

In the end, Lin Xiao was about to suppress his disgust and shake Ye Chen’s hand performatively

A cold and domineering female voice came from outside the hall.

“Ye Chen, you thief, how dare you hurt my disciple!”

With the enhancement of her powerful True Qi, her voice spread throughout the entire Divine Firmament Palace.

A terrifying and boundless sword intent enveloped over from above. In the void, it even condensed into an invisible sword domain!

“It’s… it’s Junior Sister Hongling!”

Daoist Chi Song, who had been watching the show cooly the entire time, shouted with a frightened expression.

In the next moment, under the stunned, shocked, and horrified gazes of everyone present…

A strong green sword light, accompanied by a blurry female figure, entered the hall at an unimaginable angle and momentum!

The next moment!

Bang!

Lin Xiao’s heart skipped a beat. He watched helplessly as Ye Chen, who was beside him, was sent flying with a snow-white punch!

WHOOSH!

Ye Chen’s body flew out like a kite with a broken string. The blood he spat out also drew a beautiful parabola!

As the familiar fragrance of flowers and wine entered his nose.

Lin Xiao suddenly turned around.

His master, who was as enchanting as a goddess, had already stepped into the air and appeared beside him!

“I’m sorry, Xiao’er. Last night, I… Ahem.”

“Anyway! Master will take you away!”

“With your master around, no one in the Azure Mist Sect will dare to touch you!”

Xiao Hongling’s expression was cold and domineering. Then, in front of everyone, she held her eldest disciple’s hand without any hesitation.

He felt this powerful and domineering aura.

Everyone gasped and looked carefully…

He saw that the number one beauty in the cultivation world of the Central Continent had not tidied her appearance. Her black hair fluttered in the wind like a waterfall, and her beautiful face was still slightly red.

In the short conversation, she even burped twice, as if…

She had just woken up from a hangover?’

“Oh my God…”

“Has this woman been drinking too much again?”

“But Ye Chen didn’t even do anything to her!”

“Yesterday, he was beaten half to death by Zhu Wanning. Today, he was beaten until his seven orifices are bleeding!” “What the hell is going on?”

“Only the male lead can be wounded in this world?”

This time, Lin Xiao was completely speechless. He did not even have the strength to complain!
