Chapter 659: The Wronged Shang Hongxue

Tianlian Zhenren had a black line on his head, his eyes fixed on his disciple, who knelt down.

She actually knelt down, kneeling before Chen Chuyang—what a proud disciple; even after joining the Heavenly Heart Sect, she still kept her pride, facing so many geniuses, so many stronger than her, Shang Hongchen never lowered her head, never felt discouraged.

Such pride, such dignity—Tianlian Zhenren had only seen it in this disciple; the other disciples either were quickly struck down and never recovered, or became ordinary, losing all confidence.

Confidence is the most important thing for a cultivator; having confidence ensures future achievements.

A cultivator looks not at today or the present, but at the future; confidence is the pass to becoming strong.

This is also what Tianlian Zhenren realized after reaching this point; therefore she thinks highly of this disciple, greatly admires her, seeing in her the former self—back then she was no different, and in the end was harshly struck by reality.

"Hongchen."

For the sake of this master, Shang Hongchen knelt down; Tianlian Zhenren's heart ached—without her, this disciple would not bow her head.

Yet she bowed her head toward Chen Chuyang; Tianlian Zhenren knows very well what happened between them back then; making Shang Hongchen bow her head is hard, making her bow to Chen Chuyang is harder than killing her, let alone kneeling.

This kneeling signifies that Shang Hongchen has discarded everything; it represents her confidence, her dignity, her pride—vanished in an instant.

"Master, I am sorry to you."

"Master's good disciple, you… for Master's sake, you actually knelt, Master."

To say I am not moved would be false; my disciple has reached this point, truly sacrificing everything.

Unbeknownst to her, it was not Shang Hongchen who knelt of her own will, but immense pressure forcing her to kneel; she cannot not kneel.

That pressure pressed on her, her body could not bear it; standing before her was not a person, but a True Dragon, Dragon Might overwhelming, suppressing body and mind.

Shang Hongchen gritted her teeth, glaring fiercely at Chen Chuyang, eyes blazing with fire, wishing to swallow Chen Chuyang.

"Chen Chuyang, you are shameless."

Chen Chuyang heard this and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, it was you who wanted to kneel, not me making you kneel; how can you call me shameless?"

Shang Hongchen gritted her teeth: "Scoundrel, if not for you, I would not have knelt."

The furious Shang Hongchen wanted to rise, but could not; that gaze suppressed her mind and soul, her spirit unable to rise, her body unable to rise.

Body and mind not under her control, being harshly controlled by Chen Chuyang, Shang Hongchen was about to go mad; before so many people, kneeling—how would others view her? They must be laughing at her now.

As an elder sister, how could she kneel? Yet she knelt before Chen Chuyang— a scholar may be killed but not humiliated.

"You can rise on your own; I did nothing, you insist on kneeling—what does it have to do with me?"

Chen Chuyang spread his hands, smiling smugly as he observed the kneeling Shang Hongchen; that invisible pressure pressed on her, preventing her from rising, no matter how hard she tried, she could not get up.

This scene fell into the eyes of Shang Yue and Shang Hongxue, quite shocking.

Shang Yue exclaimed in shock: "Second sister, aren't you going to stop her?"

The eldest sister knelt down, still being suppressed by the second brother-in-law— that's the eldest sister, the one who cares about face, just knelt like that.

Such an action will have what terrifying impact on the eldest sister.

However, Shang Yue feels happy inside; the eldest sister also has her day; previously she always bullied him, bullied the second sister, bullied the second brother-in-law, acting high and mighty at home; now it's good, having met the second brother-in-law, to temper the eldest sister's temper is also not bad.

He, however, just says it with his mouth but does not actually go over.

Shang Hongxue wants to watch the show, but does not want to intervene so quickly.

"Little brother, you go; second sister is not suitable to go."

Shang Yue and Shang Hongxue glanced at each other; both meant the same— not going is bad, going is also bad.

Mutual buck-passing, just not stopping Chen Chuyang.

Shang Hongchen realized that these two younger siblings wanted to watch the show, to see her make a fool of herself.

In this situation, Shang Hongchen can only rely on herself; otherwise, always kneeling is not a solution.

Taking a deep breath, Shang Hongchen forced a smile: "Chen Chuyang, I was wrong; can you forgive me?"

In order to rise, Shang Hongchen admitted her mistake.

Chen Chuyang was quite surprised; he had thought this woman would keep being stubborn, keep kneeling, but she changed her tone so quickly, admitted fault so fast— not like her character.

"Then tell me where you were wrong."

"You…"

Shang Hongchen glared at Chen Chuyang: "Chen Chuyang, you are going too far."

Having admitted fault herself, this person still wants to humiliate her so much— does he really think she is easy to bully?

Or is it not so?

"How can you say I am going too far? I just want to know if you truly realize your mistake; as the saying goes, knowing one's fault can lead to great improvement; you must know your fault before you can change, so that you benefit, I benefit, everyone benefits."

"Say it, exactly where did you go wrong? What did you do wrong, how to correct, where to start correcting?"

After Chen Chuyang said this, everyone present was shocked.

Shang Hongchen stood frozen, unable to believe she was looking at Chen Chuyang.

Shang Yue silently gave a thumbs up, inwardly giving the second brother-in-law a shout of "awesome."

Shang Hongxue blinked, blinked, blinked, blinked again, then looked at her husband, that teasing expression, that playful gaze— she already knew what this elder brother Chuyang wanted to do, clearly intending to let the eldest sister make a fool of herself, to make her suffer.

Wanting to take away Tianlian Zhenren— daydreaming.

The price will definitely be there; if not punished now, later the eldest sister might as well ascend to heaven.

"Second sister, is the second brother-in-law doing this because you instructed him?"

"No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense, Shang Yue."

Shang Hongxue quickly denied three times, saying it was not her instruction.

She could not possibly do that; although she really wants to, she cannot make it happen.

She cannot bring herself to do it; if she did, the eldest sister would fight her to the death.

Shang Yue muttered: "Without your instruction, the second brother-in-law would not dare to do this; obviously, the second brother-in-law dares to do this only because he communicated with you, second sister— I never thought you were this kind of person."

Saying that, Shang Yue distanced himself from his second sister, fearing she would hold a grudge; later, he would surely be harshly dealt with as well.

The second brother-in-law's move truly leaves no room for forgiveness; his strike can be ruthless.

"No, Shang Yue, can you not talk nonsense? I don't mean that, I also don't want big sister to kneel."

"Can you speak plainly?"

Shang Hongxue grew anxious; if big sister also thinks that way, then isn't that so?

I can't even imagine; she might really die.

Shang Hongchen slowly shifted his gaze from Chen Chuyang to his own sister, and loudly questioned: "Shang Hongxue, is it you who ordered this?"

Shang Hongxue protested her innocence, quickly waving her hands to deny: "It's not me, big sister, you have to believe me, I wouldn't do that, can you..."
