Chapter 12: Plot Contradiction? The Protagonist Gets Slapped in the Face! (2/9)

Cang Gu snorted coldly, "One of you two must be lying, but regardless of who it is, the liar will not be allowed into the Academy."

Xu Chen felt a throbbing headache; what the hell...

If he truly proved he hadn't lied, then the protagonist Ye Xuan would be ruined.

Damn, if the protagonist is ruined, then what plot is he supposed to follow?

The contradiction was severe, a dilemma!

At that moment, Ye Xuan declared confidently, "Xu Chen definitely does not possess Mid-Stage Third Grade."

He did not mention that Li Ruoling had helped Xu Chen, after all, he had feelings for Li Ruoling.

But this Xu Chen, he must be driven away.

"System, this plot is absurd; it wasn't like this originally!"

Xu Chen asked the System.

The System replied, "Indeed, it is somewhat strange; you must try to steer it back to the original plot."

Xu Chen felt a massive headache; steer it back to hell!

The current situation was that either he had to leave, or Ye Xuan had to leave.

Therefore, he gritted his teeth and said, "Elder, it is merely jealousy; there is no need to drive him away. The opportunity to enter the Academy is quite rare."

Ye Xuan: "???"

Wait, where did you get the confidence to think you won?

Are you sure it isn't you who has to leave?

Cang Gu said coldly, "The Academy does not lack geniuses; anyone lacking morality will not be accepted."

Thinking Xu Chen was defending himself, his expression grew colder.

Jiang Lan and Jiang Hong also reacted, looking at Li Ruoling with wide eyes.

You little bitch, I was wondering how Brother Chen could win; turns out you were the one behind it.

Now look, Brother Chen is in trouble; damn it.

Li Ruoling secretly regretted it; who would have thought Ye Xuan could see through it.

Oh, no, it was that Spirit Venerable; damn it, she was so eager to help Xu Chen she forgot.

She gritted her teeth; if Xu Chen was truly driven away, she would follow him.

In this life, she would marry no one but Xu Chen.

Ye Xuan sneered, "Xu Chen, are you afraid? You even want to beg the Elder; is the Elder that kind of person?"

Cang Gu said indifferently, "Enough, more words are useless. Release your realm aura; if you do not possess Mid-Stage Third Grade, please leave voluntarily."

"Wait!"

Just then, a clear, cold voice suddenly came from the surroundings.

Everyone was stunned; following the sound, their eyes widened immediately.

A woman resembling an immortal fairy slowly stepped upon auspicious clouds, a halo radiating behind her, looking like both a fairy and a Buddha.

Her green clothes fluttered in the wind, her temperament was supreme, and her body's aura was extraordinary, already above Sixth Grade.

If it wasn't Palace Master Shangguan Luoyun, who else could it be?

Seeing Shangguan Luoyun, Xu Chen was instantly overjoyed.

Perfect, this is the protagonist's future master, and also part of the harem.

In other words, even if he crushed Ye Xuan, Shangguan Luoyun would still speak up for Ye Xuan.

Even if Ye Xuan wanted to leave, he couldn't anymore.

Heh, didn't expect this plot to be resolved so easily; feels great.

At this moment, seeing Shangguan Luoyun, Cang Gu hurriedly clasped his hands and said, "Greetings, Palace Master."

Shangguan Luoyun said indifferently, "Both Ye Xuan and Xu Chen are rare geniuses; although someone made a mistake, it is no harm; they can be given a chance to reform."

Cang Gu was stunned; wasn't this rule set by you, Palace Master?

Why is the Palace Master voluntarily going back on her word today?

However, he naturally dared not question Shangguan Luoyun, so he said, "Yes!"

Li Ruoling, Jiang Lan, and Jiang Hong also breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Xu Chen was fine, they still wanted to interact with him more.

The Ye Xuan beside them was unwilling, "But Palace Master, the first place was taken by someone who cheated; I am unwilling."

Shangguan Luoyun frowned, a trace of disgust flashing in her eyes.

She had already spoken; clearly, she did not wish to discuss it further, yet you still dare to speak?

My Chen'er, is he someone you can speak of like that?

She was about to make a move to defend Xu Chen, but unexpectedly glanced at Xu Chen suddenly.

Hmm?

Isn't this enemy actually Mid-Stage Third Grade? Why did Ye Xuan say he cheated?

She instantly turned from anger to joy; what a good Chen'er, his strength has surged so fast this time.

Therefore, she smiled, "Xu Chen, just reveal your strength; regardless of the result, you both can remain in the Jixia Academy."

Xu Chen thought for a moment; according to the villain's personality, he shouldn't be hesitant.

With Shangguan Luoyun here, he could just unleash his power casually.

"Boom!"

Therefore, his whole body trembled; the next second, a Mid-Stage Third Grade aura instantly spread out like a surging wave, drifting to all sides.

Those around who were touched immediately felt their clothes fluttering and their hair flying.

"This, this is truly mid-stage Third Grade, isn't it?"

"And the aura is so stable, with no hint of instability."

"This must be the spiritual energy of someone who has been in mid-stage Third Grade for a long time; how could it be faked?"

For a moment, many disciples of the Academy spoke up, filled with awe.

They thought Xu Chen was mid-stage Third Grade, but they never expected such a stable mid-stage Third Grade.

In a few more days, he would likely break through to late-stage Third Grade.

Li Ruoling looked stunned; no, this didn't match the original plot.

When did Xu Chen become mid-stage Third Grade?

Could it be because...

She instantly remembered the Human Spirit Elixir and the Profound Spirit Elixir.

She understood, then tapped her jade foot lightly; he had made her worry so much, how detestable.

"How could this be..."

Ye Xuan felt as if his face had been slapped several times, burning hot.

Master clearly said Xu Chen was only late-stage Second Grade!

For a moment, his face turned deathly pale; he felt his dignity utterly lost and wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
