Chapter 312

Hundreds of thousands burst into laughter; this kid must've been staring at the Imperial Preceptor the whole time.

They could understand, it was just kinda funny.

Xu Chen yawned; with Su Yuheng's personality, she naturally wouldn't get angry.

In his past life, she had calmly said a few words, then told Ye Xuan to step down.

He thought this plot was boring as hell. "Puff!"

But the next second, Xu Chen was stunned.

He suddenly saw Ye Xuan blasted through the air by Su Yuheng's palm.

Ye Xuan spat a mouthful of blood, then plummeted from the stage like a cannonball.

His eyes were full of confusion—where was the gentle Imperial Preceptor everyone talked about?

Who the hell said that? I swear I'll kill them. "Bang!"

When he hit the ground, Ye Xuan's aura was dim, blood still trickling from his lips—pathetic.

He grimaced; he'd just said he had no insight, and nearly died.

This woman was insane.

Thinking it over, he fumed—he shouldn't have gone up there.

Xu Chen whistled; that palm must've been brutal.

If Ye Xuan had been ninth-rank, he'd be dead for sure.

He looked up at Su Yuheng and noticed her expression hadn't changed at all.

He grinned; thank god it wasn't him.

Su Yuheng didn't break, but if she'd picked him, he'd be the one dead now. Then he heard Su Yuheng speak: "You came here not to listen to my Dao lecture, and I'm displeased. I will now select another person—hope you don't disappoint me." With a flick of her finger, another golden light shot from her jade hand.

Xu Chen mused, wondering who the unlucky bastard would be this time.

He chuckled; it definitely wouldn't be him.

But the next second, his smile froze.

Because that golden light landed squarely on him. Xu Chen: "..."

The moment Xu Chen was chosen, the crowd erupted.

Wait, isn't this the Consort chosen by the Princess yesterday?

Did this Consort come here to listen to the Imperial Preceptor's lecture too?

People thought for a moment, then shook their heads.

Listen to what lecture?

Who the hell comes here to listen? We sure don't.

Everyone's here to see the Imperial Preceptor.

So many eyes held sneers—if the Princess found out about this...

Wouldn't Xu Chen be in deep trouble?

Di Tianlong saw this and was furious.

That damn kid got Han Zhi and still isn't satisfied? Does he dare covet my Imperial Preceptor? He coldly said: "Xu Chen, a Consort must know his place."

Di Qiankun echoed: "Xu Chen, you've got Han Zhi and still come to watch the Imperial Preceptor? Unthinkable."

Many others joined in, accusing Xu Chen of being fickle.

Xu Chen was dumbfounded: They picked me?

Holy shit, you guys are amazing!

If you're gonna act like this, I won't hold back either. Xu Chen said coolly: "Why can't I come here to listen to the Dao?"

Tell me, where in the Immortal Empire is there a law forbidding a Consort from listening to lectures?" At this, Di Tianlong and Di Qiankun fell silent.

Technically, that was true...

But as a man, don't you have any self-awareness?

Who the hell comes here to listen to lectures?

Di Tianlong sneered: "You say you're here to listen? Three hours passed—what did you gain?"

Di Qiankun mocked: "How could he gain anything? He was just staring at the Imperial Preceptor—he's lying." Xu Chen grimaced inside; he really hadn't gained anything.

After all, who the hell comes here to listen to lectures?

He was about to speak, but Di Hanzhi beside him spoke up: "Dust-brother came here to listen to the Dao. Father and elder brother, don't misunderstand."

He was listening so intently just now—I loved how serious he looked~." After saying this, Di Hanzhi was overjoyed and kissed Xu Chen again in front of everyone.

Instantly, Xu Chen's face bore a lipstick mark. Xu Chen: "..."

Sis, I think you said that on purpose just to take advantage of me.

Don't randomly kiss me, damn it—lipstick stains are hard to wipe off.

He grinned: "Fine. Didn't you hear? Were you all just staring at the Imperial Preceptor?" Di Tianlong: "..." Di Qiankun: "..."

Both twitched their lips, but wouldn't admit it.

So they sneered: "We've gained much—how could we not have listened? What about you? Did you?" Xu Chen said calmly: "Of course I did."

He walked straight onto the Yuheng Immortal Tower's stage, bowed to Su Yuheng: "Greetings, Imperial Preceptor."

Su Yuheng was about to speak, but Xu Chen's next words left her stunned.

"Imperial Preceptor, you smell so good—natural body scent, or perfume you applied?" Xu Chen couldn't help asking.

In that moment, the world fell silent.

Hundreds of thousands stared at Xu Chen, mouths slightly open, utterly frozen.

Holy shit! After all this time listening to the Imperial Preceptor's lecture, this was the first time anyone dared flirt with her.

Most importantly, the one who teased the Imperial Preceptor was Di Hanzhi's Consort.

Fuck, how dare he!

Everyone believed Xu Chen was done for next.

Even if he kept his life, he'd likely be crippled.

Haven't you seen Ye Xuan just now? His body is still trembling from pain. Ye Xuan sneered: "You're incredibly arrogant, Xu Chen. Who gave you the balls?"

If you don't lose a leg or a foot, I'll take your surname." He believed Xu Chen's fate would be even more miserable than his own.

He might even lose his life outright.

Yang Han, Zhao Wuji, Xun Yan, and others chuckled happily, waiting for Xu Chen's humiliation. After all, Xu Chen was facing Su Yuheng—they had just witnessed Su Yuheng's power and didn't believe Xu Chen would escape unscathed.

Di Tianlong and Di Qiankun, upon hearing this, were furious.

Then they sneered repeatedly: "How dare you speak such words to the Imperial Preceptor?"

What audacity!

The tens of thousands of people also murmured in awe: "Damn, that's impressive."

But the price you'll pay next won't be something you can afford.

Perhaps you'll be beaten so badly you can't even take care of yourself?

Thinking of this, everyone laughed.

Xu Chen seemed to realize his words had been too forward.

He cleared his throat: "Well, I'm just curious—if the Imperial Preceptor minds, then forget it."

That's just his nature; otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to tease Yin Suyun and Jing Lian before.

In his past life, those two women had beaten him terribly.

In this life, he still hasn't fully restrained himself—even though he's already been very cautious.

After speaking, Xu Chen's body tensed, preparing to face the danger that might come next.

But the Imperial Preceptor said calmly: "It's natural." Xu Chen blinked. Fuck, she didn't hit him?

He gave an awkward smile: "No wonder the Imperial Preceptor is naturally attractive to the opposite sex." He clicked his tongue. Damn, he'd just escaped death.

He didn't know why, but as long as he was unharmed, that was fine. "Holy shit!"

The people beneath the Yuheng Immortal Tower, upon hearing Su Yuheng's three words, were instantly stunned.

Xu Chen was completely unharmed—they were dumbfounded.

What the hell? Ye Xuan just now was in such agony, yet Xu Chen is fine?

Ye Xuan had merely said he hadn't grasped it, yet Xu Chen had teased the Imperial Preceptor!
