Upon hearing these words, Mu Bai Sheng was completely enraged.

He was filled with anger and couldn’t help but want to vent it out. Fortunately, his tolerance and status as the Sect Leader restrained him, and he eventually held back.

In fact, he was also puzzled. The reason he did not cultivate Qin Yun Dao initially was that Qin Yun Dao was not suitable. The other party had a naive temperament, like a blank sheet of paper. Moreover, Qin Yun Dao also had some lacking in terms of talent.

However, what reassured him the most was that Qin Yun Dao was someone easily contented.

It was good precisely because of Qin Yun Dao’s uncompetitive and unassuming character, and that the other party didn’t have any wild ambitions.

It was only later that Qin Yun Dao seemed to change, started to fight for power and profit, and began to humiliate others. He watched all these, as the Sect Leader, carefully noting them down.

However, due to Qin Yun Dao’s father, he could not treat Qin Yun Dao impartially. He turned a blind eye to Qin Yun Dao and still tried to tolerate him to some extent.

Little did he know that the instigator of all this was Ruan Yun Qing, a seemingly unassuming woman within the sect. This woman was controlling the single-minded Qin Yun Dao from behind. Taking advantage of his kindness and tolerance towards Qin Yun Dao, she had repeatedly caused trouble.

Yang Chen, standing to the side, was also taken aback.

This was really interesting.

At first, he only thought that Qin Yun Dao and Ruan Yun Qing were having an affair, but the real key player was not Qin Yun Dao, but Ruan Yun Qing. In this aspect alone, even he had been deceived. He never expected Ruan Yun Qing to be so good at disguising herself and so capable of enduring.

Thinking of this, Yang Chen became even more curious, “Continue.”

Ruan Yun Qing, whose soul was now controlled, had no choice but to obey Yang Chen’s words, and said: “I planned to use Qin Yun Dao to become the Queen of Yuanshan Sect and control the sect’s affairs, but Qin Yun Dao disappointed me too much. I knew that if I wanted Qin Yun Dao to scheme more positions and benefits within the Yuanshan Sect, Yang Chen must be eliminated. Only by eliminating Yang Chen can Qin Yun Dao better control power and position.”

“Just in time… ”

As these words fell, Ruan Yun Qing said viciously, “Just in time, I raised a Fragrant Sleep Gu Worm which I originally planned to use against Qin Yun Dao’s initial enemies. Unfortunately, it seems that Yang Chen discovered me from the very beginning!”

When Ruan Yun Qing finally finished telling everything, there was an uproar throughout the scene.

“This Ruan Yun Qing looks ordinary and low-key, but who would have thought she has such a venomous heart.”

“It’s really unbelievable that Ruan Yun Qing is so malicious.”

“It’s hard to believe.”

With hands behind his back, Yang Chen said slowly, “Elder Hu, what do you think?”

Elder Hu broke out in a cold sweat. It was only then that he realized that he, an old fox, had been deceived by Ruan Yun Qing. It was laughable that he had just thought Ruan Yun Qing had some hidden secret, when the most ruthless person was actually her.

At this moment, with his soul recollected, he said emotionlessly and sternly, “You wicked Ruan Yun Qing, how venomous you are, how can we let you live?”

“Ruan Yun Qing deserves a thousand deaths.”

“What should the punishment be?”

Voices of condemnation rose one after another, and at the same time, Ruan Yun Qing woke up from her soul-controlled state. Drenched in sweat and panic-stricken, she realized that she had just revealed the truth under Yang Chen’s control, and her body shuddered.

“No, you all misunderstood. What I said just now was not true, not true!” In her panic, Ruan Yun Qing looked at Yang Chen, not caring about anything anymore. She even stripped off her clothes and shouted loudly, “Yang Chen, I can do anything, I can serve you, I can make you happy, I can do anything, I can do anything.”

Elder Yun, standing to the side, subconsciously asked, “Young Sect Master, how do you want to deal with her?”

For a woman like Ruan Yun Qing, Yang Chen certainly would not show mercy.

Ruan Yun Qing was clever enough to know that controlling someone’s life and death was just a matter of a word. Unfortunately, her seduction was really useless against him.

Just as he was about to coldly order her execution, recalling Qin Yun Dao’s matter, Yang Chen suddenly said, “Leave her disposal to the Sect Leader.”

Mu Bai Sheng nodded in satisfaction when he saw Yang Chen making this choice.

Yang Chen’s decision meant that he had the Sect Leader’s interest in mind.

Ruan Yun Qing’s punishment should indeed be left to Mu Bai Sheng.

With this thought, Mu Bai Sheng grabbed Ruan Yun Qing from the void, firmly controlling her as she struggled. She was caught in Mu Bai Sheng’s grip like a little chick.

Mu Bai Sheng, holding Ruan Yun Qing, said, “I will dispose of Ruan Yun Qing. Speaking of which, the Thousand-Year Treasure hunt is about to begin. Whoever wants to explain the current situation of the treasure to Yang Chen, please do so. I’ll take my leave first.”

Mu Bai Sheng left as soon as he finished speaking, leaving the surrounding elder disciples with hopeful eyes, seemingly wanting to explain the Thousand-Year Treasure situation to Yang Chen. This was an opportunity to interact more with Yang Chen.

Yang Chen had some knowledge about the beginning of the Thousand-Year Treasure hunt.

In about a month’s time, the Thousand-Year Treasure hunt would begin.

This was also the reason why he was eager to return from Beishan Main City, as the opening of the Thousand-Year Treasure was imminent, and as the Young Sect Master of the Yuanshan Sect and the main force of the Thousand-Year Treasure hunt, it was only reasonable for him to return.

After thinking about it, Yang Chen glanced around and saw the eager disciples and elders wanting to bring him some explanation of the Thousand-Year Treasure situation. He couldn’t help but feel amused.

He knew very well what these people were thinking. After all, with his current identity, getting closer to him would bring more good than bad.

Yang Chen was not someone who would deny an opportunity. As he was deep in thought, his gaze locked onto a seemingly reliable disciple, and he gestured, “You’ll do!”

“Me?” The pointy-mouthed monkey-face man couldn’t believe it, pointing at himself. He hadn’t realized that Yang Chen had chosen him to explain the current progress of the Thousand-Year Treasure hunt.

Not daring to dawdle, he stepped forward and said, “Young Sect Master, you’ve made the right choice picking me. I, Huang Da You, have the most famous fast-talking in the Outer Sect, and I guarantee that no one knows more about the Emperor’s Treasure than I do!”

Listening to Huang Da You boasting, the surrounding disciples couldn’t help but show envious and jealous expressions. They were unconvinced in their hearts, but what could they do? How could this once-in-a-lifetime explanation opportunity not fall on their heads?

After all, explaining this simple matter would bring them into contact with Yang Chen, which was the most important thing.

Upon hearing that Huang Da You was a fast talker, Yang Chen turned serious, “I want to know the current situation of the Thousand-Year Treasure in detail. Focus on the important parts!”
