Chapter 25: Arrogant

The Young Master said, keep an eye on them, pay attention to their every move, have the manpower been arranged for the journey to the Ye Family?" The Hidden Guard Leader, eyes slightly narrowed, revealed a sinister look, looked at his subordinates and asked: "As long as he hasn't broken through the Martial Sovereign Realm, going to the Ye Family is a dead end."

The Young Master has ordered: the Profound Heaven Dao Sect colludes with the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, and they shall be killed without pardon!

Want to call for reinforcements? Seek outside help? There's no chance!

The Hidden Guard subordinate nodded and said in a low voice: Everything is ready, there are three Martial Ancestor Realm cultivators who will ambush them on the road; as long as Sect Master Su dares to come, his only fate is death.

He and his dozen or so confidants can't even leave the Eastern Wasteland, let alone pass through the Ye Family.

Ye Xuan has not yet made public the fact that the Profound Heaven Dao Sect colludes with the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon; he simply wants to wait until he defeats Su Chen on the arena, then use this fabricated charge to execute Su Chen and exterminate the Profound Heaven Dao Sect behind him.

Now the Profound Heaven Dao Sect seems to have sensed something and is preparing to flee.

But with the support of the Star Pavilion, a colossal entity, the Ye Family's foundation now shows a trend of becoming the top power in the Eastern Wasteland; once they revered the Profound Heaven Dao Sect as a deity, now they also have the confidence to match wrists with it.

Originally these were Ye Xuan's affairs, but the Profound Heaven Dao Sect didn't appreciate the favor, so we had to let them act.

Just relying on Su Chen, a ninth-level Martial Ancestor Realm cultivator, plus a handful of Martial Kings and Martial Emperors?

Facing three Martial Ancestors, it's a dead end.

The Hidden Guard Leader couldn't imagine, even after racking his brains, that Sect Master Su would have such ability, that a dozen people could match three Martial Dao Masters.

As time passed.

The Purple Yang Sect and the Profound Heaven Dao Sect exchanged their engagement tokens, and Sect Master Su also led his disciples away via the teleportation array.

At this moment, Lin Jianran was unaware of the engagement between Su Chen and Liu Liyan; she hid behind the screen with a look of disgust, listening to the vulgar remarks of Qin Shengzi and Elder Qin.

The head of the Lin Family dislikes our Blazing Yang Sect's Holy Son, preferring Young Master Su instead?

If it's not dislike, why then reject the engagement between our Sect Holy Son and Miss Lin? They are a perfect match, a made-in-heaven couple, and furthermore they even had intimate contact; the many loose cultivators at the Flower Rain Pavilion that day could bear witness.

Miss Ling kissed our Sect Holy Son right in front of Young Sect Master Su.

Our Blazing Yang Sect's Holy Son is pure and virtuous, self-disciplined, and least likes to take advantage of others; upon returning to the sect that day, he said he had tarnished Miss Lin's reputation, wished to take responsibility, and even planned to give her a title; our Blazing Yang Sect, at least one of the four great sects of the Eastern Wasteland, is more than worthy of your Lin Family.

……

Lin Jianran, hiding behind the screen, hearing these words, was about to explode!

Really, that impotent man is going to make me die of anger!

He must be crazy, right?

Kissing him before was just to piss off Su Chen; what nonsense is he spouting? How does having intimate contact even count as intimate contact?

And tarnish her reputation? The one she likes from start to finish has never been him.

What purity is being sullied, reputation ruined? This is clearly just mutual help between good friends.

A sect like the Blazing Yang Sect, which can't even compare to the Profound Heaven Dao Sect, how could it catch her eye? Now even Su Chen's type doesn't catch her eye.

That impotent man actually dreams of eating swan meat like a toad!

It really makes her furious.

Fortunately, Lin's mother is also a master; she has already cursed the Blazing Yang Sect eight hundred times in her heart, yet on the surface she acts courteous: 'Elder Qin, your words are wrong; what impurity between my daughter and your son? You know about Ye Xuan's affair, right? My daughter and Ye Xuan have been childhood sweethearts and are engaged; don't tarnish my daughter's purity.'

Between men and women, listening to music and watching plays, some bodily contact is completely normal.

As for this marriage proposal, I think we should forget it; but if you can withstand Ye Xuan's wrath, please think twice.

Hearing Lin's mother directly bring up the Ye Family and Ye Xuan, Elder Qin's face turned livid with anger.

Would Ye Xuan even look at Lin Jianran, this worn-out shoe?

As for Ye Xuan, he is now the Prince Consort of the Central State Dynasty and the Master of the Star Pavilion.

She clearly saw the contempt and disdain in Lin's mother's eyes.

No matter how you say it, our Blazing Yang Sect is still one of the four great sects of the Eastern Wasteland, a top-tier power; it's definitely far stronger than the Lin Family, a second-rate clan.

What gives her the right to act so disdainful?

That promiscuous woman Lin Jianran, spoiled by Su Chen, now has high standards and looks down on the Blazing Yang Sect.

If it weren't for our own Holy Son's longing for Lin Jianran, insisting she is pure and kind and that he would marry no one else, he wouldn't come to the Lin Family to propose with a fawning face.

Her vision wouldn't be so short-sighted as to choose a fickle, profit-chasing, love-anyone worn-out shoe to become the future young lady of the sect.

The head of the Lin Family.

Elder Qin took a few deep breaths, slightly calmed his emotions, then sneered: 'I dislike beating around the bush the most.'

Don't use the Ye Family to pressure me; everyone in the Eastern Wasteland knows Ye Xuan is the Prince Consort of the Central State Dynasty and Master of the Star Pavilion; with such status, do you think your daughter could catch their eye?

Don't beat around the bush with me; just tell me straight whether you look down on our Blazing Yang Sect.

Furthermore, in my view your daughter is also an immoral flirt; before marriage she runs to the Listening Rain Pavilion to kiss and hug those noble young masters, acting on her whims, naturally lively, accepting gifts, and often kissing and embracing.

Such a slut, if it weren't for our sect's Holy Son being blind, I would absolutely not allow this kind of person to become the future sect master's wife.

You too, be straightforward; just say whether this marriage will happen or not.

Lin's mother listened to these blunt words, her whole face darkening as if water could drip from it.

Meanwhile, Lin Jianran, eavesdropping from behind the screen, instantly exploded in rage.

She has always felt she behaves properly, never oversteps, so why scold her as promiscuous and shameless?

Bang!

'Elder Qin!' Lin Jianran couldn't stand it, kicked the stone stool into fragments, flashed over in fury, and retorted: 'You're also a woman; do you know how important chastity is to a woman? You keep saying promiscuous, fickle—am I wrong to be unrestrained?'

It's all them insisting on clinging to me, liking me; could being too charming also be my fault?

Elder Qin: '……'

Elder Qin wore a cold face, his contempt and disdain for Lin Jianran growing ever stronger.

Meanwhile, Qin Shengzi, seeing Lin Jianran suffer such injustice, immediately stepped forward to shield her delicate frame, signaling the other party to stop saying those hurtful words that would harm such a gentle, lovely girl.

Everything was his own doing, truly unrelated to her.

'Holy Son, you're still obstinate; if this continues, where will the face of the Blazing Yang Sect be?'

Elder Qin truly flew into a rage, pinching his fingers to cast a spell, spiritual energy forming chains to bind the opponent.

They pointed at Lin Jianran's nose and shouted, "Do you still want any face? Do you have charm? Are you infatuated with you?"

"I see you're really being propped up by the Young Sect Master Su of the Heavenly Mystery Dao Sect to the point of being clueless!"

If I remember correctly, on the Eastern Wasteland Beauty Ranking, you seem to be at the bottom, right? And it's only because of Young Sect Master Su that you made the list; if we truly talk about beauty, you don't even have one ten-thousandth of the Holy Maiden Liu who ranks first on the beauty ranking. Previously, it was because Young Sect Master Su was blind that they clung to you.

Oh, I just remembered something you probably don't know yet.

Elder Qin couldn't help but burst out laughing at the thought.

She didn't even care about her image anymore—she got a nose full of dust, and to make matters worse, that despicable Lin Jianran disgusted her.

Every day she trails her own Holy Son to collect gifts, yet shows no reaction, and moreover pretends to be pure and chaste.

This relationship is still just bullshit!

"Since you look down on my Blazing Sun Sect, there's something you probably haven't heard yet today," Elder Qin said, sealing Holy Son Qin's mouth with spiritual power, curling the corner of their mouth, and looking at Lin Jianran with a teasing gaze.

Lin Jianran's expression tightened slightly as she sensed something: "What is it?"

All that could be heard was Elder Qin's cold chuckle.

Then,

After saying a few words that made Lin Jianran and her mother turn deathly pale, they said with a sneer, "Look at you, still clueless—are you still deluding yourself into thinking that the Young Sect Master of the foremost power in the Eastern Wasteland can't live without you, begging on their knees to marry you into their family?"
