1029: Chapter 1029: A Rare Talent 1029: Chapter 1029: A Rare Talent âYouâre lying!
Itâs obvious that you just wanted Miss Jiang because sheâs beautiful, so you used the power of the Ye Alliance to take her away from my apprentice!â the old Taoist quickly shouted.
He was a man who had once led a sect because his righteous and stern manner seemed convincing.
Ye Fei, however, just sneered disdainfully.
âThe truth is in the eye of the beholder.
If you want to know what happened, why donât you ask Abbess Mieyin, who knows the whole story?â âSister, what do you say?â Hearing Ye Feiâs words, Jingxu turned to Mieyin, and everyone elseâs eyes followed suit.
Only Chongdong had a smug smile flicker across his lips.
He thought Mieyin the nun was in his pocket, so having her testify would be a huge advantage for him.
To everyoneâs surprise, Mieyin nodded and said, âMaster Ye is right.â âMieyin, youâre betraying me!â Chongdong was both shocked and furious, glaring at Mieyin and shouting.
âIâm just stating the facts,â Mieyin replied indifferently.
Despite her unlikable personalityâshe was irritable, vain, and stubbornâshe was, at her core, an upright person.
After hearing the cordial conversation between Jingxu and Ye Fei, she suddenly realized that she had been used by the old Taoist ever since the martial arts conference.
Naturally, she wasnât going to lie for him anymore.
Since Mieyin had decided not to help him, the old Taoist had to pin all his hopes on his last resort.
He shouted at Chuchen, who had been standing like a statue for a long time, âGreat-uncle, say something!
Now even Cihang Jingzhai is teaming up with the Demon Sect against us!â As if in response to Chongdong, Chuchen, who had been standing still for a long time, finally moved.
He shuddered all over, his face turned bright red in an instant, and then he spat out a large mouthful of blood with a âwah.â âHow do you feel now, old Taoist?â Ye Fei asked with a grin.
âAfter spitting out this blood clot, I feel much better,â Chuchen weakly gasped for a few breaths, then bowed to Ye Fei and said, âThank you, Master Ye, for showing mercy.â âGreat-uncle?!â The old Taoist looked at Chuchen in surprise, not understanding why his only support would suddenly spit blood and then apologize to Ye Fei.
Chuchen gave Chongdong a sharp glance and snorted, âI heard everything you said just now.
So everything you told me on the mountain was a lie!â âItâs not like that, Great-uncle, let me explain!â Chongdong quickly said.
But Chuchen wouldnât listen.
He snorted again and said, âWhatâs there to explain?
Would Abbess Mieyin lie about you?â âIâŠâ The old Taoist was speechless.
Ignoring Chongdong, Chuchen turned to Ye Fei and the women, including Zhu Yuyan, and said, âI was too hasty this time.
I will come to apologize in person another day!â Ye Fei gave a cold laugh.
âThereâs no need to wait for another day.
Today will do just fine.â âWhat do you mean, Master Ye?â Chuchen asked.
Ye Fei glanced around and said, âYou injured so many of our Demon Sect sisters and just want to walk away?
Thatâs not how it works.â He wasnât wrong.
The old members of the Demon Sect were all slippery characters.
After fighting for so long, none of them were injured, while almost all the young female disciples had been hurt.
Hearing this, Chuchenâs face turned red with embarrassment.
He had been misled by Chongdong and had recklessly come to provoke.
Now that his deception had been exposed, he wanted nothing more than to leave this humiliating place as quickly as possible, forgetting that there should be some kind of resolution to this matter.
So he quickly said, âMaster Ye is right.
What do you propose we do?â âYou have two choices,â Ye Fei said, holding up two fingers.
âFirst, the main culprit in this matter can kowtow three times to the injured sisters and apologize.
Second, you can leave, but I will personally go to Mount Wudang to settle the score later!â Upon hearing this, the old Taoistâs heart leaped with joy.
Although he had previously underestimated Ye Feiâs strength, resulting in Chuchen, a Great Ascension stage master much more formidable than the monk who had presided over the martial arts conference, suffering a setback at Ye Feiâs hands, Wudang Sect was no ordinary place.
As far as Chongdong knew, there were at least five individuals more powerful than Chuchen, not to mention the legendary even stronger masters.
If Ye Fei dared to go there, he would surely not return alive.
âGreat-uncle, letâs go!â After making up his mind, the old Taoist hurriedly tried to pull Chuchen away.
However, Chuchen did not budge.
After a moment of contemplation, he said, âChongdong, the fault lies entirely with you.
You should go and apologize as Master Ye suggested.â âWhat?â The old Taoist was taken aback, then he put on a self-righteous expression and said, âGreat-uncle, how can that be?
I am, after all, the leader of Wudang.
If I kowtow to a bunch of heretics, what face would Wudang have left in the martial world?
Moreover, itâs not just their people who got injured; we also suffered quite a few casualties.
How do we explain that?â âThisâŠâ Hearing Chongdongâs words, Chuchen hesitated as well.
He had just experienced Ye Feiâs formidable power.
If possible, he certainly did not want to make Wudang Sect an enemy.
But Chongdong had a point.
If he, as the leader, were to kowtow to the disciples of the Demon Sect, it would undoubtedly deal a significant blow to Wudangâs reputation.
As Chuchen was caught in a dilemma, Ye Fei added, âOh, I wasnât finished.
If you donât want to kowtow and apologize, the others can leave, but the main culprit cannot be let go.
I will personally kill him to avenge my sisters!â Chuchen was startled by Ye Feiâs words and quickly said, âMaster Ye, isnât that punishment a bit too severe?â âYes, Master Ye, itâs just a misunderstanding.
Thereâs no need to take a life,â Jingxu also interjected, trying to mediate.
âThis is already the lightest punishment!â Ye Fei snorted coldly.
âAnyone who dares to hurt me, Ye Fei, deserves to have their entire family wiped out.
Iâm being exceptionally lenient by not doing that, and Iâm even offering another choice.â Chuchen wanted to say something, but Chongdong interrupted him, âGreat-uncle, for the stability of Wudang, I, your disciple, am willing to sacrifice myself!â With that, just as everyone thought he was about to make a grand, self-sacrificial gesture, he strode over to the injured female disciples of the Demon Sect and knelt heavily, kowtowing three times with a loud thud.
âA rare talent!â Ye Feiâs eyes widened in an expression of admiration.
He then turned to Zhu Yuyan and asked, âMother-in-law, does our Demon Sect have such a rare talent?â
