Gu Youwei's Regret...

With that, Yan Shun made his way towards the Main Hall of the Holy Land.

Normally, when one gets challenged by another using a Special Token, the challenger can decide the rules!

Meaning, that before they actually get into the competition...

The Sect Leader will or will not approve the rules made by the challenger!

As he reached the Main Hall, he could feel many gazes on him...

However, it wasn't the usual disgust or hate...

It was actually...pity!

They were pitying him!

Because he was going to go against a guy with a Supreme Talent!

He sighed at this...

Finally, he entered the Main Hall...

Where the twelve elders and the Sect Leader were looking at him.

"Disciple Yan Shun greets the Elders and the Sect Leader!" He cupped his hands, slightly bending his body.

From the way, they were looking at him...

Only three...elders actually have a favourable opinion towards him...

His Master, Yao Meili and...

The... Supreme Elder...?

[New target acquired!]

[Zi Yi's Affection: Strangers!]

'Zi Yi...he's a girl!? I've always thought that the Supreme Elder was a guy!? What the actual fuck!?'

As if sensing his gaze, Zi Yi looked at him and smiled...

Stroking 'his' beard...

'This feels...weird!'

"Now that you're here... Disciple Ye Chen, how about you introduce the rules?" The Sect Leader smiled.

"Yes!"

And then Ye Chen started to explain the rules...

Basically, each one will 'sing' their melody...

And the one who gets the most votes from the audience wins!

It's as simple as that!

However, what he did mention...

Was that the Zither Fairy would also be present!

He actually invited her!

'He really wants to embarrass me, huh?'

"Anything that you don't like Disciple Yan Shun?" The Sect Master looked at Yan Shun and said.

"There's no problem." He replied swiftly.

"Great, then the competition may start today during the night!" The Sect Leader announced!

"Yes!" Both Ye Chen and Yan Shun cupped their hands.

With that, Yan Shun left the main hall...

With a small smile on his lips...

'During the night, huh? Just perfect...'

Yan Shun actually had a plan in mind...

He simply needed to practice more!

He needed to perfect his song!

He also was going to try and sing!

This is a song competition...

So, if he really can sing his created melody...

He might be able to actually win flawlessly!

"Time to practice more!" He exclaimed.

He went directly to Yan Xinyue's grave...

At least...there he was at peace...

Meanwhile...

"Did he swing his Sword like this...? Or...like this?" Gu Youwei wondered...

She fell in love with Yan Shun's Sword...

It was too pure...his movements were so perfect!

This was one of her hundredth times trying to recreate his Sword...

However, she simply couldn't...

There was something about his Sword that she couldn't quite get it!

And never in the Nine Heavens would she bow down her head and ask for him to teach her!

Her pride wouldn't let her!

Or...her deep hate wouldn't let her...

It was a strange feeling in her opinion...

"Ugh! So annoying! Why can't I recreate his Sword!?" She exclaimed annoyingly.

"He doesn't even deserve it anyway!"

"Shut up!" Suddenly, a small sweet voice interrupted her!

It was Wan Meixiang...

"Junior Sister...? What do you mean by that...?" Gu Youwei asked, quite confused by what she meant.

Wan Meixiang glared at her with pouted cheeks!

"You shouldn't take behind Senior Brother's back!" She said angrily.

Gu Youwei's eyes widened...

"Huh!? What do you mean?" She crossed her arms.

"Eldest Brother is a devil! He attacked his Four Junior Sisters!"

"No, he didn't! Senior Brother is a clean person! It was just a misunderstanding in every case!"

Wan Meixiang glared at her!

"Huh? He tried to rape you!" She commented!

"He drank an aphrodisiac without wanting to!"

"Huh...what do you mean?" Gu Youwei's tone went down...

That's right!

After Wan Meixiang discovered that it was a misunderstanding...

She actually went to search for his Senior Brother's symptoms at that moment!

He had his eyes pink, and even gave a strange alluring aura!

And then, Wan Meixiang found out that her Senior Brother may be under the effect of an aphrodisiac!

"Senior Brother has been hit by some kind of ahprosodiac! If you only let him explain his situation, I wouldn't have to ignore him!"

"He's the best Senior Brother I could've asked for!"

"When you three were training...he always played with me!"

"He would bring me snacks during the night!"

"He would take me to the town to play! He even taught me how to read and write!"

"And because of you! I almost lost him!"

"I hate you!"

Wan Meixiang said angrily and left!

She let her emotions take over her, but she didn't care!

She almost lost her dear Senior Brother because of her after all!

"Hmnpf!" She kicked Gu Youwei's sword before leaving!

Gu Youwei stood there speechless...

And the memories of those moments that made her hate her Senior Brother appeared in her mind...

First of all...

When he tried to steal her underwear!

"He tried to steal! There's no denying...!"

"But...wasn't he holding another thing...in his hand...?"

The memory came back to her...

—

"Huh!? What are you doing!? Why are you holding my underwear!?" Gu Youwei asked fiercely, raising her Sword at him!

"Uh, I wasn't trying to steal it!"

Yan Shun replied...

Gu Youwei could see that he was hiding something behind his back!

"Stop lying! If you were not stealing it...why are you holding it!' Are you a pervert!?"

"No, I'm not... I just wanted to deli—!"

—Boom!

Gu Youwei grabbed Yan Shun's wrist and threw him against the wall!

His body was full of injuries!

He was much weaker than her after all!

Meanwhile, a glowing orb appeared in Yan Shun's hand...

Although, she couldn't quite see it...

From her perspective...it probably was precious and valuable...

"Get out!" She said coldly!

Yan Shun...slowly got up and got out of her sight...

He had a...strange look...

"Why was he looking sad...?" She wondered...

—

"That glowing orb...wasn't that a...Sword Comprehension Pill! The one that boosts your understanding for 50% for a certain period of time!?"

"Why...was he holding it...?" She wondered...

But, as she put the pieces together...

"No...no..."

When she first entered...Yan Shun...

Was with his hands on her clothes...

More precisely...on their pockets!

Was he trying to put the pill there...?

To help herself...?

"No...no! That's impossible! What about that time he pinned me down and Ye Chen saved me!?"

—

"Junior Sister, how about we check that store over there now!" Yan Shun said, a small smile on his lips...

"Sure..." Gu Youwei replied, although not very happy with being alone with him...

"Let's go then..."

"..."

"..."

It was awkward...

Both of them wouldn't say a word...

However, that changed when...

"Ahhh!"

Yan Shun suddenly felt something on his knee, causing him to stumble!

And coincidentally...

His Junior Sister was right in front of him!

—Thud!

He fell on top of her, pinning her down...

"Oh...Sorr—"

But, before he could say anything...

—THUD!

He received a kick in his stomach, making him roll back a few meters!

"How dare you assault someone in broad daylight!" Ye Chen said righteously.

"Are you okay...?" He 'charmingly' smiled at Gu Youwei...

He even stretched out his hand...

"Yes..." Gu Youwei replied, getting up by herself!

"Hmnpf! How dare you!" She said coldly towards Yan Shun.

And then left with Ye Chen...

—

"No...No..."

"How could Senior Brother do something to me!? He's much weaker than I am! How was he supposed to attack me...?"

As Gu Youwei slowly analyzed the past accident...

"No...no...he even tried to say sorry...but was interrupted by Ye Chen! If he only could've explained himself..."

"No! It's my fault... I didn't let him explain himself..."

"It's all my fault...!" She screamed...

Tears were forming in her eyes and dropping to the ground...

And then...the last accident...

Appeared...

—

'Tsk... I have to go down the mountain...With Senior Brother!?'

'Why am I going with this pervert!? Leecher! Demon!'

'This guy doesn't deserve to be Master's Disciple!'

She complained inwardly...

—Thrum!

"Huh, what is this...?" She wondered.

"Junor Sister be careful! It's a 3rd Grade Beast!" Yan Shun immediately warned his Junior Sister!

"A 3rd Grade Beast...?" Her eyes widened...

The giant beast immediately attacked her...

And she was so frightened that she couldn't move...

She stood there...frozen...!

However, Yan Shun immediately jumped on her...

And with that...both of them avoided the beast's attack...

The problem was that...

Yan Shun fell on top of her...and squeezed her boobs!

"Huh...? What is this...?"

Squeeze...

"Ah! Sor—!" He tried to say, however...

Just in that moment...

—Thud!

Once again...Ye Chen appeared, and 'saved' her...

From this 'Demon'...

Yan Shun was thrown against a tree...

Blood flowed down his forehead towards the ground...!

"Courting death! How many times did I tell you to stay away from her!" Ye Chen said righteously.

His figure seemed to have a golden aura around him at that moment...

Like a true...hero in shining armor...!

Gu Youwei seemed...strange at that moment...

Her heart started to beat faster...

Ye Chen was her saviour!

The one that stopped the 'Demon'!

—

But now...

She finally knew that her feelings were all lie...

Because that should've not happened...!

Her Senior Brother clearly tried to say "sorry" many times!

He also tried to explain the situation...

But...she never did let him explain it!

Once again...

She started crying...

She couldn't hold back her emotions...

She just wanted to apologize to her Senior Brother...

Tell him...how much she was actually sorry...

She didn't even mind crippling her cultivation just for him to accept her apology...

She just wanted him...to forgive her...

"I'm...so...sorry!"

She screamed loudly, her voice shaking with sadness...

"Atchoo! Is somebody talking about me...?" Yan Shun wondered...

[Ding~~! Gu Youwei's Affection has risen tremendously!]

[Gu Youwei's Affection reached Friends!]

[You have received a very huge reward!]

"Uhh...?"

"What the actual fuck...!?"

[Ding~~! Wan Meixiang's Affection has raised to Friends!]

[And has reached Tier 3!]

"What the fuck!?"

"Since when...the world was on my side...?"
