Chapter 1801: Your Heart Is Too Dirty

As the Second Sequence again carefully examined Xu Jie's body for the second time, his complexion also gradually turned strange, and he muttered to himself.

"There's still something like this..."

"Huh???"

Hearing the Second Sequence's words, the other Guo family sequence disciples beside him, along with Ye Zhangqing and a few others, all had puzzled faces, wondering what was going on.

"How could this be like this?"

Under everyone's gaze, the Second Sequence's complexion grew uglier, and Xu Jie also felt uneasy from his words, unable to help asking.

"Senior Brother, what do you mean by that?"

Seeing the Second Sequence like this, as if his own body had a major problem, it made Xu Jie feel uneasy, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back.

Facing Xu Jie's question, the Second Sequence merely frowned tightly, saying nothing; the more he did so, the more Xu Jie felt uncertain.

"Senior Brother, what exactly is going on? Speak up—this makes me very anxious."

Xu Jie said anxiously, beads of sweat the size of beans beginning to appear on his forehead.

At this moment, a tense atmosphere filled everyone's hearts, all waiting for the Second Sequence to give an explanation.

However, the Second Sequence remained silent, seeming to be lost in thought.

Xu Jie grew increasingly panicked, not knowing what condition his body had actually fallen into, causing even the experienced Second Sequence to feel confused and astonished.

"How could this be? Give me a word already—Xu Jie's heart couldn't help but roar; seeing the Second Sequence frown and stay silent made his whole body tense up."

Just then, the Second Sequence looked at Xu Jie, a hint of solemnity appearing on his face, which startled Xu Jie.

Meanwhile, Ye Zhangqing and the others beside him also showed worried expressions, wondering if Xu Jie really had a problem.

Under everyone's gaze, after a long silence, the Second Sequence finally spoke slowly.

"It's not a problem with the Heart-Washing Pool, but your own problem."

Hearing this, Xu Jie froze, his face full of doubt as he asked.

"Me???"

He simply couldn't fathom what problem he could have.

Xu Jie was full of doubt, gazing at the Second Sequence before him with a complex look.

At this moment, the Second Sequence had already withdrawn his palm, his equally complex gaze falling on Xu Jie as he spoke slowly.

"Your heart contains too many impurities, too stubborn, to the point that even the Heart-Washing Pool cannot cleanse them, so even after staying in the pool all day you failed to give birth to an immaculate Dao heart."

"Huh???"

As these words were spoken, Xu Jie's brows knit tightly, a strong sense of incomprehension and doubt welling up in his heart.

At the same time, the faces of Ye Zhangqing and a few others also turned very strange, they all shifted their gazes to Xu Jie.

Feeling everyone's gaze upon him, Xu Jie only felt his face burn hot, as if someone had slapped him hard.

His complexion turned flushed, and his gaze also became somewhat uneasy.

Clenching his teeth, he forced down his embarrassment and unease, feigning calm as he shouted.

"What are you all staring at me for? What's there to see?"

However, the gazes of Ye Zhangqing and the others were like thorns, making him feel uncomfortable all over.

Xu Jie could no longer bear such embarrassment, so he turned his head and glared fiercely at the Second Sequence, trying to shift the topic and escape the predicament.

"Senior Brother, what does that mean? Explain clearly."

Facing Xu Jie's question, the Second Sequence showed no hesitation or retreat; on the contrary, his tone was firm and solemn, conveying an indisputable authority. He spoke slowly.

"Put simply, it means your heart is too dirty, so filthy that even the Heart-Washing Pool cannot cleanse it."

These words struck like a heavy hammer, directly hitting Xu Jie's innermost heart, leaving him instantly speechless.

Xu Jie widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

He had never imagined he would receive such harsh criticism, nor that the other would dare say his heart could not be cleansed.

A surge of anger rose in his heart, but even more so was confusion and incomprehension.

Xu Jie couldn't help but interrupt the Second Sequence's words, retorting with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Senior Brother, you can't just spout nonsense; without evidence, on what grounds do you slander my purity?"

His voice was full of grievance and unwillingness, as if he felt greatly wronged by such an accusation.

Xu Jie considered himself an upright and kind righteous-path disciple, his heart like a blank sheet; he firmly believed his mind was pure and flawless, impossible to be as filthy as the other claimed.

At this moment, he felt his reputation had suffered great damage, the anger in his heart hard to contain.

Xu Jie's eyes were filled with utter humiliation, as if he had suffered a tremendous injustice, evoking pity.

But in stark contrast to him, upon hearing the Second Sequence's words, Ye Zhangqing and the others' eyes showed a hint of sudden realization, their faces displaying the expression 'So that's how it is.'

Regarding Xu Jie's heart, everyone knew full well, especially given the things he usually did, which really made people think his heart was extremely dirty.

Therefore, when the Second Sequence spoke these words, Ye Zhangqing and the others felt there was no flaw, completely correct.

Everyone expressed agreement in turn, while the other Guo family sequence disciples looked at Xu Jie with a curious and complex gaze.

"Who exactly is this person? Why is his heart so dirty? Even the Heart-Washing Pool cannot purify it? From a certain angle, Xu Jie could be called a rare oddity in the world."

"After all, over the years the Heart-Washing Pool has never encountered such a situation; this incident undoubtedly broadened their horizons."

Under everyone's gaze, Xu Jie felt increasingly unable to find a place to hide, and couldn't help but roar.

"What kind of look is this? What do you mean? You don't really think I have a heart problem, do you?"

Hearing this, Zhao Zhengping let out a deep sigh, seemingly offering comfort as he spoke.

"Junior Brother, some things everyone knows full well; you don't need to keep saying them."

"\"Zhao Zhengping, what the hell do you mean? Don't you know what I, Xu Jie, am?"

"\"I'm just too clear about it."

"\"You................"

Seeing Zhao Zhengping's expression that was indeed just as expected, Xu Jie's teeth itched with anger and clenched, making a gege sound.

Although Ye Zhangqing and the others didn't speak, their expression already explained everything; what the Second Sequence said was correct, and they all agreed.

Seeing himself in a stance that not even jumping into the Yellow River could wash away, Xu Jie even felt like dying at this moment; and then the Second Sequence turned his head to look at Ye Zhangqing, wearing a helpless expression as he said he could not help.

"Junior Martial Brother Ye, I also have no way with this matter; if even the Heart-Washing Pool cannot cleanse the Dao-heart, then you, this senior martial brother, I'm afraid in this lifetime you will have no chance to be born with a flawless Dao-heart; I'm afraid you'll have to change paths—this path is not suitable for him."

Hearing that, Xu Jie went, 'Huh???'
