Chapter 44

~7 min read 1,375 words

Colluding with demons even came out. Looking at Xu Jie, who was standing straight and righteous below, the Second Elder on the main seat couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

And the Divine Sword Peak disciples behind him, hearing Xu Jie's words, roared excitedly one after another.

"Exactly, the Luoxia Sect disciples harbor evil intentions and want to harm Junior Brother Changqing."

"Such villains, what is wrong with my Divine Sword Peak?"

"Requesting the Second Elder to take them down and interrogate them strictly."

As if there were endless grievances, at this moment, the Luoxia Sect disciples seemed to have really become those heinous people.

Compared to the impassioned Divine Sword Peak disciples, the Luoxia Sect disciples were all trembling with anger. He Lu even clenched her fists, her eyes almost turning into knives, staring fixedly at Ye Changqing.

The only one still calm on the scene was probably Ye Changqing.

Or rather, Ye Changqing was stunned by Xu Jie's words. He hadn't noticed before that this Third Senior Brother had such good eloquence.

Listening to the shouting of the Divine Sword Peak disciples below, the Second Elder rubbed his head with a headache.

"Elder, this is slander, it's framing. We don't have that intention at all. And the reason we came to the Dao One Sect to break off the engagement is also considering that Ye Changqing is a Dao One Sect disciple."

At this time, He Lu said through gritted teeth, her voice low, as if containing infinite anger.

Looking at He Lu, who was full of unwillingness, stubbornness, and anger, Xu Jie sneered.

"Heh, slander and framing? My Divine Sword Peak disciples are all upright, why would we need to frame or slander? This Luoxia Sect disciple, if you don't want people to know, you shouldn't do it."

"You..."

"Alright."

Seeing the two confronting each other, the Second Elder stopped them. This matter was a bit difficult to handle for a while. Just at this time, Hong Zun walked in swaying.

Seeing Hong Zun, the Second Elder had an even bigger headache and said helplessly.

"Junior Brother, why are you here?"

"Someone dares to harm my Divine Sword Peak disciple at my Divine Sword Peak, and I, as the Peak Master, don't come? Do you want me to watch my peak's disciple being harmed?"

Sure enough, as soon as Hong Zun opened his mouth, he was adding fuel to the fire.

At the beginning, Hong Zun indeed didn't take this matter to heart, but after hearing that He Lu's marriage contract object was actually Ye Changqing, he couldn't sit still and rushed to the Law Enforcement Hall.

While speaking, Hong Zun walked to Ye Changqing's side and looked him over with a smile.

"How is it? Are you okay?"

"Thank you, Peak Master, for your concern, this disciple is fine."

"It's good that you're fine."

After speaking, Hong Zun looked directly at Yu Li, his expression changing. He was still drunk just a moment ago, but at this moment, he became cold and aggressive, questioning her.

"Yu Li, I kindly helped you before, but I didn't expect your Luoxia Sect to harbor evil intentions and dare to harm my Divine Sword Peak disciple."

"Senior Brother, you this..."

"Still want to argue? At the beginning, you said your disciple was just coming to see her marriage contract object. I kindly let Liu Shuang accompany her personally. I didn't expect you to come to break off the engagement, intending to destroy my peak disciple's Dao heart."

Good guy, there really is a master for every disciple.

Xu Jie was at least half-true and half-false, but as soon as Hong Zun opened his mouth, it was full of nonsense.

Hearing this, Yu Li was so angry that her body couldn't help but tremble.

She had clearly stated her purpose at the beginning, and Hong Zun had agreed at the time, only asking her to give some compensation.

But now, this old thing was denying everything and even blaming her.

"Hong Zun, I clearly said at the beginning that I came here to break off the engagement, and you..."

"You what you? Now that things have reached this point, you still want to argue? I finally understand. The reason your Luoxia Sect disciples are so vicious probably has something to do with you, this Elder."

"As the saying goes, if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. It's because you, the Elder, are not clean yourself, so your disciples are all such despicable and shameless people."

"You... what did you say?"

Yu Li was directly enraged by Hong Zun. Seeing this, the Second Elder hurriedly interrupted.

"Junior Brother, calm down first."

"How can I calm down? My disciple is about to be harmed, and it's right under my nose. The Luoxia Sect is bullying people too much."

"If I don't give my disciple an explanation for today's matter, what face do I have to be the Peak Master of Divine Sword Peak?"

Hong Zun was indignant. Seeing this, the Second Elder was extremely helpless, his gaze inadvertently seeing Ye Changqing in the crowd, and he immediately asked.

"Ye Changqing."

The cause of this matter was Ye Changqing, and the Second Elder also intended to start directly from the root.

"This disciple is here."

"Do you have anything to say?"

"Me? This disciple..."

Just as Ye Changqing wanted to speak, Hong Zun interrupted directly.

"Changqing, I know you are kind-hearted and emotional, and you still can't let go of this woman in your heart. But this woman has a vicious mind and is definitely not a good match. Listen to my words, cut it off when you should. If you can't bear to punish her, then divorce her, and don't contact her again in the future."

Hong Zun said righteously. After speaking, without waiting for Ye Changqing to reply, he turned to look at He Lu and Yu Li.

"Yu Li, considering our past friendship, I can let this matter go. However, your disciple is truly unworthy of Changqing. Today, as the Peak Master of Divine Sword Peak, I will decide on behalf of Changqing to divorce your disciple. You give some more compensation, and this matter will be over. But only this once, no next time."

"You..."

Looking at Hong Zun's generous and forgiving appearance, Yu Li pointed at him with a trembling body, but couldn't say a word.

They had clearly suffered a big loss, but why did it sound like he was being lenient when it came out of Hong Zun's mouth?

And, breaking off the engagement turned into divorcing the wife, which was simply an insult to their master and disciple.

"Why, you don't agree? I've already considered our past friendship. If so, then we can only handle it according to the Dao One Sect's rules."

"Second Senior Brother, what is the crime for harming a Dao One Sect disciple?"

"This..."

Facing Hong Zun's inquiry, the Second Elder didn't know how to answer for a while. Harming a Dao One Sect disciple, if caught, would definitely mean paying with one's life.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Yu Li took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, and said coldly.

"Good, good, good, Hong Zun, I will remember today's matter."

The situation was stronger than the person, and this was the Dao One Sect's territory. Yu Li really didn't expect that this Divine Sword Peak, starting from the Peak Master, would be so shameless.

They could even turn black into white, and for a handyman disciple, they didn't give her any face at all.

Knowing that if she continued to entangle, they would only be the ones to suffer, Yu Li had no choice but to agree to Hong Zun's request with extreme humiliation.

To this, Hong Zun looked at Ye Changqing without changing his expression.

"Changqing, write the divorce letter."

Under the witness of everyone, Ye Changqing wrote the divorce letter on the spot. The moment she received the divorce letter, He Lu couldn't stop her body from trembling; it was from anger.

Before coming, she had thought of many possibilities, but she never expected that it would end up like this.
