I think this Qingxuan Sect is also going to be doomed.

"You mean to say that the Green Mystery Sect has a peak master who is a mole for the demonic path, and during the demonic path's great invasion of the Eastern Wastelands in the future, they will collude with the demonic path from within, launch a rebellion, and ultimately cause the collapse of the Green Mystery Sect's defenses, leading to the tragic deaths of countless righteous disciples?"

"Y-yes, that's it."

Xiaobai tugged at her skirt and nodded.

"Wait!"

Ye Shu suddenly furrowed his brows, cutting her off.

"That's not right. Logically, this guy shouldn't be here right now—he should already be dead."

"Why?"

"Simple logic. If the female leads all have memories of the future, and they already know there's a mole in the sect, the first thing they should do upon awakening those memories is to arrange eight hundred axe-wielding ambushers and arrest the mole immediately, right?"

"Uh..."

Xiaobai froze. That actually made sense!

Why did these female leads know about the mole yet not deal with it first, instead targeting Ye Shu who hadn't even entered the sect?

Secure the interior first before provoking the exterior!

Oh, come on!

How could these female leads be so stupid!

"See, this is the army you lead," Ye Shu mocked mercilessly. "They leave the real threat unhandled and come after me, who has done absolutely nothing."

"I bet they've all forgotten about this."

It wasn't impossible. From the other universe images Xiaobai had shown him, the chosen protagonists were eventually led into the demonic path by the mole without any female lead warning them.

No matter how many mistakes those chosen protagonists made.

But allowing a demonic path mole to harm fellow disciples was still too extreme—Ye Shu himself couldn't condone it.

He secretly criticized Xiaobai's flawed design in his mind.

Meanwhile, standing beside Perfected Hunyuan, the woman in purple let out a soft laugh.

"Why does the Saintess laugh?" Perfected Hunyuan asked with a fawning tone.

"I just peeked at my husband, and he caught me. Keen spiritual sense as always—worthy of the man who killed me." The woman in purple covered her mouth with a smile, her glance captivating.

"Hus...bund?"

Perfected Hunyuan was instantly dumbfounded.

So the Saintess traveled thousands of miles from the Central Region headquarters all the way here—just to see her husband? He had gone so far as to deploy the border demonic forces to lure away the Green Mystery Sect's strongest, Lin Heming, allowing the Saintess to smoothly infiltrate the sect. And all of that was just for her to see a man?

A mere Qi Refining boy at the Foundation Establishment stage!

And what had the Saintess said just now?

This boy... had killed... her?

Seems like even the Saintess couldn't solve her marital discord. Look, her husband was so angry he came to join a righteous sect.

The woman in purple was utterly oblivious to the drama Perfected Hunyuan had fabricated in his mind. She simply stared intently at Ye Shu, her gaze full of infatuated longing.

Even more arrogant and indifferent than in her memories.

At the same time, the group led by Qin Ke'er finally snapped out of their shock and hurried forward, pushing through the crowd of curious onlookers.

"Get the hell out of the way!"

Zheng Yunshu let out a fierce shout, scattering the crowd.

She dashed forward, lifting Lu Qinghuan from the ground, and asked with concern, "Junior sister, are you alright?"

"Sister Lu, are you okay?"

"Junior Sister Lu, are you hurt?"

"Senior sister... I... I've disgraced you all... sob..."

Forced to show her humiliating state before her most trusted senior sister, Lu Qinghuan could no longer hold back her grievances. Tears streamed down her face as she sobbed into her hands.

Seeing her junior sister like this,

Zheng Yunshu felt both pained and furious.

But the others, Qin Ke'er and Su Xiao, could not muster the slightest sympathy.

The former knew Lu Qinghuan had brought it entirely on herself.

The latter simply thought Lu Qinghuan was a complete fool.

Both were just putting on an act—one afraid of being isolated, the other maintaining her persona.

"Don't cry. Your senior sister will get justice for you."

Zheng Yunshu slowly rose to her feet, clenching her teeth.

As Zheng Yunshu headed for Ye Shu again, Qin Ke'er stood behind them, a dazed look on her face.

What the hell was going on here!

Had her senior sister lost all sense of right and wrong? Even if she had.

What about the peak masters?

Had the peak masters also lost their reason?

Qin Ke'er looked up in bewilderment at the peak masters, who had arrived one after another. They sat high on their platforms, their gazes indifferent, as if none of this concerned them.

As if... they were ignoring this farce entirely.

It was absurd, you know?

At a major disciple recruitment ceremony, inner disciples openly targeted a newcomer on stage, yet not a single peak master stepped in to stop it.

This was something that could damage the Green Mystery Sect's reputation!

If another sect recorded this on a projection stone and broadcast it, who would dare attend the Green Mystery Sect's recruitment ceremony in the future?

Such a simple truth.

Even though the troublemakers were her own senior sister.

Her own senior brother.

Even so, Qin Ke'er felt an overwhelming sense of absurdity.

What was happening? When had this world stopped following reason entirely?

Just as she was feeling the madness of this world,

a beam of rosy light bloomed on the horizon, and a cyan phoenix projection flew from afar, circling above the square.

"What do you think you're doing?"

With a crisp reprimand, the cyan phoenix projection transformed into a streak of light and landed in the center of the square, materializing into a young woman in a cyan dress. Her face was cold, and her demeanor was ethereal.

The moment she appeared, she drew everyone's attention.

"Who is that? So beautiful."

"The peak master of Cyan Phoenix Peak! Qing Wanyue! She and Mu Yunxi of Purple Lightning Peak are known as the Twin Jewels of the Eastern Wastelands."

"I must join Cyan Phoenix Peak."

Qing Wanyue glared, her gaze icy as she swept across the crowd. With a flick of her sleeve, her Nascent Soul peak-tier pressure crashed down, weighing heavily on every person.

All noise instantly ceased.

"Someone is disrupting the order of the recruitment ceremony—are all of you blind to it?"

She spoke coldly.

"Senior Uncle Qing..."

Seeing the chaos quelled in an instant, a flicker of joy crossed Qin Ke'er's face.

Finally!

Someone had finally stepped in to set things right!

Hurry up and end this farce—punish senior brother and senior sister if you must, just stop this madness.

It was too embarrassing!

"Senior Uncle Qing... I..."

Su Xiao swallowed hard, carefully trying to speak, but Qing Wanyue cut him off with a raised hand: "You don't need to explain. I will report today's events directly to the Sect Leader."

"Daring to disrupt the recruitment ceremony's order—this is a slap in the face to the Green Mystery Sect!"

Upon hearing this, Su Xiao's heart leaped with joy!

Yes! So there were still sane female leads. They were standing up for the male lead, ready to punish him now!

Whatever the punishment—being confined to a forbidden area or anything else.

Bring it on!

Yet just as he and Qin Ke'er thought this farce was finally over, Qing Wanyue turned around, glaring coldly at Ye Shu.

"Daring to provoke a disciple of the Green Mystery Sect and disrupt the recruitment ceremony's order—do you know what this means?"

"It is a slap in the face to the Green Mystery Sect!"

As her voice fell, a terrifying pressure descended.

A long sword had somehow appeared in Qing Wanyue's hand, its sword aura chilling, the killing intent unmistakable...

Pointing directly at Ye Shu, who stood with his hands behind his back!

“This can’t be...”

Qin Ke’er was stunned, almost unable to believe her eyes. Why should the innocent victim be punished, while her senior brothers and sisters remained completely unscathed!

Elder Qing, are you even in your right mind!

If word of this gets out, it will deal a devastating blow to the reputation of the Qingxuan Sect!

Is there no justice left in this world?

She closed her eyes in despair.

“I think this Qingxuan Sect is screwed beyond saving anyway!”
