Qingyun Sword Sect's exchange meeting was still going on. Lin Qingying couldn't leave as there were many things to discuss with other sects.
Not only were the higher-ups busy, some disciples were also busy. For example, Wang Ziyan was busy spreading rumors and explaining things to Second Elder.
Duan Fei was the most miserable. He was scolded as an unfaithful man every day. No one knew who came up with the word "scumbag." From an unfaithful man, Duan Fei became a scumbag.
It was obvious that the word "scumbag" was spread by Wang Ziyan.
On the second day of the exchange meeting, Duan Fei was up against Chu Yanran from Sky Demon Sect.
On the stage, Chu Yanran looked at Duan Fei with a smile and uttered two words lightly: “Scumbag.”
Duan Fei was devastated. When the audience below heard Chu Yanran say those two words, they shouted "scumbag" at Duan Fei together.
Duan Fei couldn't endure such humiliation. He ran off the stage in tears, "I'm not a scumbag, you guys are bullying me."
Duan Fei hadn't been seen for a period of time after that. It was said that he shut himself in his room, refusing to go out and see anyone.
This gave Liu Yu a headache for a long time. She had no choice but to explain to people one by one before correcting Duan Fei's image.
At Carefree Peak, Wang Ziyan was about to see Second Elder. Seeing a group of senior sisters chatting, she went over.
"Have you guys heard about what happened to Duan Fei at the martial arts stage today?"
"The whole sect knows about it, who doesn't?"
Wang Ziyan cut in, "I have something you guys definitely don't know about."
"What could you possibly know that we don't, Junior Sister Wang?"
Wang Ziyan looked around furtively, "I'll only tell you guys, don't tell anyone else!"
"Junior Sister Wang, don't you trust us yet? We promise we won't spread it."
"You know Xiao Yu, right!"
"I know! The host yesterday! I loved the songs he sang."
"Yes, it's him. Yesterday, Ye Xuan forced Xiao Yu to sing for his partner."
"Xiao Yu politely declined because he was busy. As a result, not only did Sima Ruoxue verbally insult Xiao Yu, she even wanted to hit him."
Everyone gasped, "She didn't hit him, did she!"
A senior sister said, "That girl is spoiled. Hanging out with Ye Xuan made her even more unscrupulous."
Wang Ziyan went on, "Fortunately, Big Brother, Second Brother and I stepped in to stop her, otherwise Sima Ruoxue would've gotten her way."
"We thought they would leave after that. But unexpectedly, disregarding ties between fellow sect members, Ye Xuan still wanted to make a move on us."
"As you know, neither I nor Big Brother were a match for them."
Everyone became nervous and asked, "How did you get away in the end?"
"Of course it was because Second Elder arrived and stopped Ye Xuan."
Everyone exclaimed, "So Master saved you!"
Wang Ziyan sighed again, "We thought Ye Xuan would stop after that. But unexpectedly, he and his gang blocked us on our way to send Xiao Yu off."
"Although they didn't make a move, they left vicious words."
"What did they say?"
"He told Xiao Yu to be careful of his head, or it might be gone someday."
"Didn't expect Ye Xuan and his people to be so despicable and sinister."
"So sisters, beware of these people. If anything happens to Xiao Yu or me someday, it must be Ye Xuan and his people's doing."
"I'm only telling you guys this. Don't tell anyone else, I'm afraid Ye Xuan will retaliate against me."
The others were indignant, "Junior Sister Wang, don't be afraid. If Ye Xuan dares to touch you guys, we'll deal with him together."
"Then thank you, senior sisters. I'm going to see Second Elder now."
"Alright, go ahead!"
After Wang Ziyan walked away, everyone took their leave.
"I have something to do, I'll go first."
"Oh I have something too."
"I need to quickly spread this to other junior sisters. Oops, I let it slip. I'm going."
Wang Ziyan was at the door, "Second Elder, are you in?"
"Come in."
"Why are you here, girl."
"My dear uncle, your lovely niece has come to explain things to you."
"Speak if you have something to say, fart if you have gas. I'm busy."
Wang Ziyan found a seat and poured herself a cup of spiritual tea to wet her throat.
"Hmm...Uncle, do you know Ye Xuan?"
"Better than you."
Wang Ziyan raised her index finger and shook it like Xiao Yu, "No, no, you don't know him as well as I do."
Old Zhou put down what he was doing, "Let's hear it."
"You should know what kind of person Ye Xuan was before. Do you know how he suddenly changed from useless to a genius?"
Old Zhou explained, "He must've had some fortuitous encounter!"
"Fortuitous encounter? Do you believe that?"
Wang Ziyan then repeated to Old Zhou what Xiao Yu had told her before.
Wang Ziyan took a sip of tea, "Do you understand now?"
"I see, so that's what happened. Everything makes sense now." Old Zhou said in realization.
"Ye Xuan is not only selfish, but also ungrateful. It's all due to his benevolence that you have your wealth. I'm afraid he'll implicate you when he eliminates his enemies. And he pretends to be a righteous man, so that after he destroys his enemies, I'll have to thank him for avenging you."
"You're right. That Ye Xuan really invites trouble. Looks like I need to be wary of him."
Wang Ziyan stood up, "Do as you see fit, uncle! If anything happens to you, I won't avenge you. I'm afraid I'll get dragged in before I can get revenge."
"How can you say that, child?"
"Alright, I'm leaving. I still have rumors to spread! I mean, exchanges to do."
"Bye bye!"
Old Zhou's face darkened, "What is bye bye?"
Wang Ziyan who was running out the door shouted back, "It means goodbye."
Wang Ziyan went on to spread the news about Ye Xuan at other peaks. Soon, the whole Qingyun Sword Sect was talking about Ye Xuan's deeds.
"I said Ye Xuan was no good! You guys didn't believe me. Now what do you think? I didn't lie, did I!"
"Didn't expect he could pretend so well."
"What more can you expect from someone unfaithful in love?"
"You're right. Those kinds of people are scumbags! We wronged Senior Brother Duan."
Such conversations were everywhere.
On the third day of the exchange meeting in the morning, Ye Xuan was up against Wu Hao.
As soon as he got on stage, Wu Hao went into trash talk mode. Below the stage, Wang Ziyan covered her forehead and shouted to Wu Hao, "Didn't we agree not to do this! Have you forgotten what we said earlier?"
Wu Hao blinked, "Oh..."
He turned to Ye Xuan arrogantly, "I won't compete with a despicable, shameless scumbag. I'm afraid of dirtying my hands."
He said to the Elder judge, "I concede defeat!"
Sima Ruoxue said disdainfully, "Not daring to fight is not daring to fight. Making excuses like this, how shameless."
Wu Hao said indifferently, "Do you see anyone agreeing with you?"
The crowd below quickly chimed in, "Senior Brother, no need to argue with this vicious woman. We believe you."
"That's right."
"Who would dare fight them! With their conduct, winning would be dangerous, losing could mean crippled. It's better to concede defeat."
"Well said. Senior Brother, we support you."
Wu Hao cupped his fists at everyone, "I'm grateful for your favor."
With his head held high, he swaggered off the stage.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”

lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
