Chapter 2402

Chen Xuan could be said to be extremely embarrassed now.

With solid evidence and Chen Xuan's refusal to let others pry into his consciousness.

Now, Chen Xuan really couldn't wash himself clean even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

"Chen Xuan, you..."

Even Yuan Lingxuan, who trusted him the most, didn't know what to say at this moment.

She believed in Chen Xuan.

After all, she knew Chen Xuan's character.

However, with evidence as solid as a mountain, she couldn't ignore it either.

"Brother Chen... sigh..."

Wenhui Fuzi was also speechless.

He also had a good impression of Chen Xuan and thought there might be some cause and effect behind him.

But now, he couldn't help Chen Xuan either.

Chen Xuan naturally didn't want to be so aggrieved, so he said directly.

"Have you never thought that someone recording with an image-recording stone actually proves what I said is true—that there was a second person present?"

"And the fact that he recorded it clearly means he wanted to frame me, which further proves I didn't get the Heavenly Dao Staff."

Chen Xuan's words were resonant.

Making everyone present stop their noise for a moment.

Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that was indeed the case.

But soon, a cultivator sneered: "So what? Even if you're right and there was a second person present."

"That doesn't mean that the second person was the one who snatched the Heavenly Dao Staff."

"And in the image-recording stone, you indeed reached out for the Heavenly Dao Staff; this is evidence as solid as a mountain. Can you still argue?"

Hearing this, Chen Xuan felt his blood pressure rising.

That's right, he couldn't refute this point.

Because he did indeed want to obtain the Heavenly Dao Staff.

His motive was impure to begin with, making it even harder to argue.

"Hmph, I think we should just suppress this wretch and search his soul to find the whereabouts of the Heavenly Dao Staff!" a faction elder snorted coldly.

Several of his juniors had fallen in this battle.

This already made him extremely indignant.

And now, with Chen Xuan as an internal traitor causing destruction, he naturally hated him to the core and had found an outlet for his anger.

"You..."

Chen Xuan's chest heaved, and he felt as if he were about to explode with anger.

He even had an impulse in his heart to directly confess his identity as the reincarnation of Emperor Teacher Huang Xuan Yi.

But thinking about it again, he suppressed it.

The risk of exposure was too great.

He was not yet strong enough to fully protect himself.

But just at this moment, a clear shout rang out, coming from Yuan Lingxuan.

"Let's see who dares!"

"Hmm?"

Everyone present looked at Yuan Lingxuan, frowning slightly.

Within Jun Xiaoyao's gaze also fell upon Yuan Lingxuan, a deep meaning flashing in his eyes.

This Yuan Lingxuan had a significant background.

Of course, that was relative to the others present.

Within Jun Xiaoyao was just watching the show.

"Senior Sister..."

Chen Xuan looked at Yuan Lingxuan.

Yuan Lingxuan took a deep breath, looked around at everyone, and said, "Chen Xuan is a person of Mr. Mo from the Grass Hut; do you really dare to force him like this?"

"What..."

Hearing Yuan Lingxuan's words, everyone present was slightly startled.

Mr. Mo was the Master of the Grass Hut, a rather mysterious figure who came and went without a trace.

But his cultivation was clearly beyond doubt; otherwise, he couldn't have become the Master of the Grass Hut.

"To think he is a person of Mr. Mo, this..."

The expressions of some cultivators present changed slightly.

With the Master of the Grass Hut backing him, they indeed dared not act rashly against Chen Xuan.

But the elder from the major faction just now still said coldly: "So what if he is Mr. Mo's person?"

"The Grass Hut has produced such scum, tarnishing the Grass Hut's reputation; I'm afraid the Grass Hut will also sweep him out the door."

"That's right, exactly!"

The scene became noisy again.

"Even so, Chen Xuan should return to the Grass Hut to accept punishment, rather than being at your mercy."

Yuan Lingxuan's attitude remained tough.

It could be said that if it were anyone else, their attitude would absolutely not be as tough as Yuan Lingxuan's.

But Yuan Lingxuan's background made everyone have misgivings.

Not only did she come from an ultimate power, but she also had an incredibly monstrous sister.

Even if they didn't give Chen Xuan face, they had to give Yuan Lingxuan face.

"I hope the Grass Hut won't be biased and keep such scum," some cultivators said coldly.

They didn't want to offend Yuan Lingxuan too much, but they didn't want to let Chen Xuan go either.

"Hmph..."

Chen Xuan snorted coldly in his heart.

He had never been so humiliated before.

In the past, in the Grass Hut, even when mocked by other Grass Hut disciples, he didn't care.

But this time, he really lost more than he gained; he didn't catch the fox and instead got a body full of stench.

Chen Xuan's reputation could be considered ruined.

"Who on earth was it..."

Chen Xuan gritted his teeth in hatred.

He scanned the crowd and saw Within Jun Xiaoyao in the crowd.

Within Jun Xiaoyao's expression was calm, seemingly just watching the show.

Chen Xuan withdrew his gaze; he did indeed have suspicions about Within Jun Xiaoyao, and a kind of instinctive sense of danger.

But he really couldn't find any evidence.

However, he kept this thought in his heart.

As the storm around Chen Xuan temporarily subsided, everyone prepared to set off and leave Dongling Temple.

However, Chen Xuan's reputation had indeed become notorious as everyone left.

This made Chen Xuan hate secretly, but he had nothing to say.

Within Jun Xiaoyao and the others, along with the Grass Hut group, also set off to return to the Origin Academy.

And just after returning to the Origin Academy.

A trial was held for Chen Xuan.

The Origin Academy, including some elders from the Grass Hut, all appeared.

However, the Dean of the Origin Academy did not appear; such matters did not need to disturb him.

And the Master of the Grass Hut, Mr. Mo, did not show up either.

Because this Mr. Mo was always elusive, often not in the Grass Hut, wandering in all directions.

Chen Xuan was also brought back to the Grass Hut by Mr. Mo after one of his wanderings.

"Chen Xuan, do you know what a massive blow your actions have dealt to our Origin Academy and the Grass Hut's reputation?"

"This is smearing the Origin Academy and the Grass Hut!"

An elder of the Origin Academy couldn't help but scold.

Although the Lianhua Buddha Saint was suppressing the sealing array, preventing any major problems there.

But Chen Xuan's influence was truly too malicious.

Throughout the entire Origin Academy, the Heaven, Earth, and Human courtyards were densely packed with many disciples watching from the surroundings.

Even Chen Xuan, who could remain indifferent to being mocked by Grass Hut disciples every day, felt very uncomfortable at this moment.

Those gazes were filled with disdain, mockery, and disgust.

He was like a clown on a stage.

And Chen Xuan happened to know that he was the legendary Emperor Teacher Huang Xuan Yi.

This contrast made Chen Xuan feel extremely aggrieved and uncomfortable.

He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Fine, Elder, I admit, I did indeed covet the Heavenly Dao Staff."

"But, I really did not obtain the Heavenly Dao Staff; it was absolutely snatched away by the person who plotted against me!"

Chen Xuan retreated to the next best option, knowing he couldn't wash himself clean, so he might as well admit it generously.

This naturally caused an uproar.

Even Yuan Lingxuan, who trusted him the most, had her jade hand covering her red lips, her pupils trembling in disbelief.

In her eyes, although Chen Xuan was lazy and didn't care about anything.

His character was absolutely fine.

Otherwise, Yuan Lingxuan wouldn't have taken such good care of him and had a feeling for him.

But now.

Yuan Lingxuan suddenly felt that she didn't quite recognize this little Sleeping God junior brother.
