Chapter 20: Fighting Over a Man, A Love Triangle? (4/9)

For a moment, the elders of the three major academies at Jixia Xuegong scrambled to snatch Xu Chen.

They were the Third Elder of Sword Dao Xuegong, the Second Elder of Blade Dao Xuegong, and the Great Elder of Spear Dao Xuegong.

Each was an elite existence within their respective academy, a master of Fifth Grade or above.

This was merely the surface; their true strength might have already reached Sixth Grade.

Placed outside, they would all be forces capable of holding their own in Tianzun Dynasty.

Shangguan Luoyun scoffed; how dare three mere elders compete with her?

She was about to speak when another hoarse voice chuckled lightly: "Little friend, I heard you defeated your opponent with a single punch; why not come to my Body Dao Xuegong?"

"The body is the flesh; when strengthened to the extreme, the flesh shatters space and tears mountains apart with a bare hand."

"The mighty are indestructible like Vajra; when the flesh becomes an Emperor, it crushes and explodes everything in the world; why not cultivate it?"

As he spoke, a burly middle-aged man appeared before the crowd.

Xu Chen looked and saw this man resemble a fitness coach, with bulging muscles and an explosive physique.

With every wave of his arms, space seemed to tremble faintly, proving the sheer might of his body.

This man was none other than Handi, the Dean of Body Dao Xuegong.

Elder Qinghan sneered: "The body is clumsy and heavy; only the Spear Dao is truly elegant and unpredictable."

Cang Gu shook his head: "No, the Sword Dao is bizarre and unfathomable, with afterimages hard to find, superior to the Spear Dao."

Batian snorted coldly: "What good is speed? Domination is the ultimate power, suppressing all enemies across time."

Hearing so many elders fighting over him, Xu Chen's face twisted in pain again.

If he stole the protagonist's things, wouldn't the plot collapse even harder?

Damn it, it's better to refuse.

Just as Xu Chen was about to refuse, a coquettish laugh rang out: "Oh, so many people here; little Xu Chen, why not follow your big sister?"

Xu Chen was stunned; there was a woman too?

He looked up and saw that at some point, a woman in red robes, with fiery red lips, had walked over seductively.

Her figure was excellent, her bosom vast, like an endless ocean with no horizon in sight.

Wrapped around her waist was a Red Fire Rope, her unique weapon capable of taking lives from a distance.

Those who did not know her thought she was promiscuous.

In fact, she was not; she was also a heroine and kept her chastity pure.

In the original story, she naturally waited for the protagonist, Ye Xuan.

Her name was Chi Lian, Dean of the Women's Xuegong, cultivating a Fire-attribute Cultivation Method that matched Ye Xuan perfectly.

Xu Chen clicked his tongue; damn it, wouldn't this collapse too?

Chi Lian walked to Xu Chen's side, surrounded by fragrance: "Oh, this boy is quite handsome; not bad, I've taken a liking to him."

Shangguan Luoyun snorted coldly: "Does it fall to you to speak here?"

Xu Chen pouted; there was a secret others did not know, but he did.

That was that Chi Lian was Shangguan Luoyun's biological sister, born of the same mother.

Yet the two were somewhat hostile, like sisters and yet like enemies.

Because Chi Lian cultivated a Demonic Path Cultivation Method and flirted everywhere.

If she were not a biological sister and had not promised Shangguan Luoyun not to cause trouble, Shangguan Luoyun would have driven Chi Lian away long ago.

Chi Lian smiled brightly: "Could it be that sister has also taken a liking to Xu Chen?"

Shangguan Luoyun said calmly: "A genius seen once in a hundred years; what, as Palace Master, am I not allowed to take disciples?"

Chi Lian laughed with undulating curves: "Oh, of course you can, but I spoke first; does the Palace Master intend to fight me for a man?"

Shangguan Luoyun cursed Chi Lian as a whore in her heart; such words should stay in the heart, not be spoken aloud.

Damn it, how could she possibly speak next?

The elders and disciples of Jixia Xuegong around them were stunned; the Dean was fighting the Palace Master, and both happened to be women.

Those who knew understood they were fighting over a disciple.

Those who did not know would think they were fighting over a husband.

Shangguan Luoyun said coldly: "Let Xu Chen choose for himself; neither you nor I can force him."

At this point, under the gaze of all, she could no longer forcibly take him as a disciple.

She only hoped Xu Chen would choose her side.

That way, she would have ample reason to protect Xu Chen.

Chi Lian laughed coquettishly: "Little Xu Chen, look at me and the Palace Master; who is superior?"

As she spoke, she revealed her own advantages, pressing down on Xu Chen like a giant wave.

Xu Chen sucked in a sharp breath; it was too vicious.

Although Shangguan Luoyun's temperament was superior, this aspect was indeed hard to match against Chi Lian.

No exaggeration, no bias; in this aspect, Chi Lian was absolutely number one among the original heroines; the others truly could not compare.

It was just that he did not understand; what was Chi Lian doing looking for him?

In the original story, the two seemed to have no connection?

Chi Lian looked at Xu Chen with complex eyes.

In the previous life, their connection was slight, but in that life she had almost been defiled by villains, and Xu Chen had saved her.

For ninety-nine lifetimes, Xu Chen had saved her ninety-nine times.

As for Ye Xuan, with many heroines, the only reason he took a liking to her was her beauty.

She had always found it disgusting; in this life, let her be the one to protect Xu Chen.

No one could harm a single hair on Xu Chen's head while she was watching.

Finally, after pondering for a long time, Xu Chen spoke: "I choose..."

Everyone held their breath. Who would he choose?
