Chapter 175: Ji Yueyao Gives Su Chen Two Choices

Everyone cast all their gazes, in unison, upon Su Chen.

"Fine, since that is the case, then this old man shall punish you, this rebellious disciple, on behalf of the Sect Master!"

Upon hearing this, the Great Elder could no longer suppress the fury in his heart and scolded.

Having said that, he intended to raise the Purple Point Ball in his hand to strike Su Chen and Bai Zhi into serious injury.

"Stop!"

Just as he was preparing to strike a ruthless blow, a delicate shout suddenly came, and immediately three figures sped over from the distance.

The person in the lead wore a long white dress, her skin crystalline and translucent, like mutton-fat jade, emitting a soft luster.

Her appearance was exquisitely peerless, her features beautiful to the extreme, and her temperament noble and elegant, giving one the feeling of a fairy.

The other two were an old woman, with a hunched body and a sallow, gaunt face, but her gaze was sharp to the extreme.

The other was Su Chen's old acquaintance, Zhao Hanshan.

"It's Master!"

Seeing the woman in the lead, joy appeared on Bai Zhi's face.

That's right, the woman who had rushed over was none other than her master, Ji Yueyao, who was also the Sect Master of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

Seeing Ji Yueyao appear, the crowd of Heavenly Dao Sect disciples and Elders bowed respectfully one after another.

"Great Elder, what exactly happened to cause you to make such a big scene?"

After scanning the circle, Ji Yueyao frowned slightly, then turned her head to look at the Great Elder and asked.

She did not know exactly what had happened just now, so she wanted to inquire about it.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, the matter is like this..."

The Great Elder dared not conceal anything, so he gave a brief account of the incident.

When he reached the part where Su Chen had openly embraced Bai Zhi and declared in public that as long as Bai Zhi and the Saint Son Chu Xiu were not yet married, he had the right to pursue Bai Zhi, the Great Elder was so angry that he gritted his teeth while speaking.

"Oh? My Heavenly Dao Sect has actually produced such a character?"

After listening to the Great Elder's account, a trace of surprise appeared in Ji Yueyao's eyes, and she sized up Su Chen with interest.

Regarding this, Su Chen did not care; instead, he stared hotly at Ji Yueyao in the void, with a trace of provocation in the depths of his eyes.

Hmph!

Looking at this Young Master, who is afraid of whom?

This Young Master specializes in having a thick skin.

"Sect Master, this new disciple named Wangshu is truly too arrogant. This old man suggests immediately expelling him from our Heavenly Dao Sect!"

Seeing Ji Yueyao continuously sizing up Su Chen, the Great Elder felt uncomfortable in his heart and hurriedly reminded her, while his eyes kept signaling to her.

He knew Ji Yueyao's personality; she hated such a lecherous scoundrel the most. Now that he saw Ji Yueyao actually seemed somewhat interested in Su Chen, he became anxious.

Hearing the Great Elder's words, Ji Yueyao withdrew her gaze, looked at Su Chen, and said indifferently: "Wangshu, is it? Tell me why you..."

Seeing this, the Great Elder stepped forward to stop her and said: "Sect Master, this brat dares to seduce the Saintess; he absolutely cannot be let off easily!"

Hearing the Great Elder's words, Ji Yueyao frowned slightly and said with displeasure: "Great Elder, are you the Sect Master, or am I the Sect Master?"

Upon hearing this, the Great Elder stiffened all over, lowered his head, and retreated to the side, but a flash of hatred flickered in the depths of his eyes.

Seeing the Great Elder retreat to the side, Ji Yueyao continued to look at Su Chen and asked in a gentle tone: "Wangshu, is it? Tell this Sect Master, why did you do this?"

"Because the Saint Son Chu Xiu is simply not worthy of Senior Sister Bai Zhi!"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen curled his lips into a playful arc, glared at Chu Xiu with disdain, and said with a smile.

"Presumptuous! Wangshu!"

The Great Elder on the side was furious and shouted coldly: "Chu Xiu is a genius rarely seen in our Heavenly Dao Sect in a hundred years. What qualifications do you, an ant, have to say he is not worthy of the Saintess?"

Hearing Su Chen's evaluation of the Saint Son Chu Xiu, the Great Elder's face was gloomy, and he stared at Su Chen with cold eyes, as if he wanted to tear him to pieces.

Su Chen, however, had an expression of fearlessness, meeting the Great Elder's gaze without avoiding it, and a mocking smirk lifted the corner of his mouth: "Him, a genius rarely seen in a hundred years? Old man, are your eyes blind!"

Once these words were spoken, the whole scene fell silent, a deathly silence.

Everyone was stunned!

This brat must be crazy!

In the entire Heavenly Dao Sect, apart from the Sect Master Ji Yueyao, no one dared to speak to the Great Elder in such a tone.

Moreover, they could clearly feel that the Great Elder was truly enraged; Su Chen was likely going to be in trouble!

"Damn, whose subordinate is this brat, to be so fierce!"

"What do you know, this is called overestimating one's own strength!"

"Hmph! Daring to be rude to the Great Elder, he is dead for sure!"

"Who told him to be so unappreciative, he deserves it!"

Many Heavenly Dao Sect disciples around pointed at Su Chen, whispering and discussing, their faces full of schadenfreude.

In their view, Su Chen was finished.

The Great Elder was a Quasi-Emperor peak Cultivator, at the same level as the Sect Master, and could crush Su Chen to death with one palm.

"Little beast! You are courting death!"

Sure enough, the Great Elder's face turned livid, and monstrous fury surged in his eyes, wishing he could immediately grind him to dust.

Just as he was about to strike, Ji Yueyao spoke.

"Enough!"

She scolded coldly, then her gaze fell on Su Chen again, and she said with great interest:

"Wangshu, is it? Since you think Chu Xiu is not worthy of Bai Zhi, can you tell me what advantages you have, such as family background, connections, talent, bloodline, cultivation speed, etc., and what kind of things can you produce to convince this Sect Master?"

Hearing Ji Yueyao's inquiry, Su Chen grinned: "It's very simple, because I am outstanding enough!"

Pfft!

As soon as these words were spoken, bursts of laughter erupted all around.

"Hahaha! And here I thought he was so impressive! Turns out he's only good at bragging!"

"Tch! Just based on that, he dares to call himself outstanding? This is simply the biggest joke in the world!"

"In my opinion, he must be jealous of the Saint Son; after all, a beauty like the Saintess is someone he could never hope to touch."

The surrounding Heavenly Dao Sect disciples wore mocking smiles, casting looks of pity toward Su Chen.

"Hmm? It seems I still underestimated you."

Hearing Su Chen's words, Ji Yueyao was stunned for a moment, then a trace of admiration appeared at the corners of her mouth.

Although she had long since guessed Su Chen's thoughts, hearing him say it with her own ears still gave her an incredible feeling.

After all, to be able to say such shameless words in front of so many strangers requires immense courage and psychological fortitude.

In Ji Yueyao's view, Su Chen ought to be an arrogant, overbearing person with extremely deep schemes.

Yet, faced with the Great Elder's questioning, he had frankly and openly admitted his feelings for Bai Zhi, and even expressed his own excellence.

Because of this, Ji Yueyao looked at him in a new light.

Not only that, Ji Yueyao was even more curious about what kind of powerful strength Su Chen possessed that made the Saint Son Chu Xiu, standing to the side, afraid to act rashly.

Although Chu Xiu's personality is..., faced with such hatred of having his wife stolen, he surely would have already struck.

But since Su Chen and Bai Zhi were standing below perfectly fine, it meant that Chu Xiu had no way to deal with Su Chen.

"Very well, I believe you have this courage and determination. I, the Sect Master, give you two choices: first, join under my name and become my Personal Disciple, but you cannot be with Bai Zhi; second, become Dao companions with Bai Zhi and leave my Heavenly Dao Sect from this day forward."

After a moment of thought, Ji Yueyao said slowly.
