Chapter 213 Everyone in the sect is crazy!
"Alright, alright! We've seen enough excitement. Could you please give Wuji Mountain some respect and give Zhu Yan some private space to handle his personal affairs?"
Ning Suyan politely bowed to the crowd gathered in front of the mountain gate. Most of the cultivators were reasonable people. After watching for so long, they naturally knew that it was basically the Zhu family's plan to destroy Zhu Yan.
Now that the truth was out, it was really inappropriate to stay here and watch others deal with their private affairs, so they all dispersed.
Ning Suyan waved to the group of physical training disciples behind her, and they immediately followed Ning Suyan back to the mountains.
Shentu Yin was already holding Chu You's hand and walking towards Wuji Mountain.
Jiang Xinbai nodded to Zhu Yan, glanced at the direction Chu You and Shentu Yin were going, lowered his eyes, and walked in another direction.
Zhu Yan looked at the three women in front of him and took a deep breath:
"I said it when we were drinking and chatting happily, that's all, why are you doing it now?
Can't we keep some dignity for each other?"
Hearing this, the woman in red on the left spoke first:
"Zhu Yan, I, Su Nanyue, am the legitimate daughter of the Su family, one of the five great aristocratic families, and the future heir to the Su family, a talismanic family.
The way you handled things at Wuji Mountain didn't give the Zhu family any face, which was really inappropriate.
Just now, the Zhu family condemned you for being ungrateful and ignoring the grace of raising you on the official forum. They will permanently expel you from the Zhu family and sever all ties with you.
Now in the world of cultivation, you are only the second disciple of Wuji Mountain.
But you still have a long way to go in the world of cultivation, and even in the world of immortals. This identity alone may not be able to provide you with much help.
If you are willing to become my Taoist partner, not only can your talent in weapon cultivation be combined with my talent in talisman cultivation, but we can also promote each other.
It can also make the Su family and Wuji Mountain friendly. If the Zhu family makes things difficult for Wuji Mountain, our Su family will never sit idly by.
Zhu Yan, you are an adult, so you must understand the benefits involved.
I'm not begging you, I'm inviting you to cooperate for a win-win situation!"
"I see!"
Zhu Yan flaunted his folding fan again, and the loose hair on both sides of his forehead rose and fell with the fan, adding to his charm:
“But I, Zhu, don’t have any ambitions. I just want to be a leisurely cultivator.
It’s better to keep Miss Su’s kindness for a truly ambitious man.
Wuji Mountain is perfect for pure cultivation. Being able to become the sect master's personal disciple is the greatest honor of my life. I will share his glory and disgrace, life and death!"
"you!"
Su Nanyue seemed to be surprised that Zhu Yan would refuse, and was a little annoyed:
"Do you know that if you reject me now, the Su family will let me marry Zhu Jun, the eldest son of the Zhu family. At that time, your Wuji Mountain..."
"Then congratulations to Miss Su and the eldest son of the Zhu family. May you be happily married and live happily ever after!"
Zhu Yan's smile became more and more swaying, and there was really no regret or nostalgia at all.
Su Nanyue was a proud person with her own dignity and ambition. She came here more because she was attracted by Zhu Yan's talent and potential. Since the other party was unwilling to marry, she would not force it. She just arrogantly said "You will regret it" and left without looking back.
After seeing Su Nanyue leave, the second woman just looked at Zhu Yan deeply and left without hesitation.
The third woman stood there for a long time before she slowly said:
"Zhu Yan, if you can answer one of my questions truthfully, even if I, Zheng Wanru, feel unwilling, I will never pester you again."
"Is it that simple?"
Zhu Yan felt something was amiss. He was frightened by the seventy or eighty female cultivators who had just tried to slander him, so he was on guard.
"Tell me first, what's the problem?"
Zheng Wanru took a deep breath:
"Have you already found someone you truly love?"
Zhu Yan's expression froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal. Instead of answering, he asked:
“Why do you ask that?”
"Because you once told me, 'A wise man never falls in love, but if you could ever meet your destined person, you would give up all the romantic pleasures and become a fool for her.'"
As she said this, tears welled up in Zheng Wanru's eyes. It was obvious that she had genuine feelings for Zhu Yan, but she also remained rational and restrained.
"For two and a half years, I have been waiting day and night at places like the Worry-Free Pavilion where you often go, but I have never seen you show up.
After asking around, I found out that you have never been here again.
If you didn't have someone dear to your heart, how could you be so restrained?"
A bitter smile appeared on Zhu Yan's lips, but he didn't deny it, nor did he answer.
The smile in Zheng Wanru's eyes became even more bitter:
"That person, is it Chu You?"
Seeing Zhu Yan's expression instantly become alert, Zheng Wanru knew that her guess was correct:
"As expected.
Just now, your eyes never left her from beginning to end.
Even if it's subtle, even if sometimes I just look at her from the corner of my eye, I understand the suppressed and restrained emotions in my eyes better than anyone else."
Just like she was looking at him now.
Seeing that Zhu Yan still didn't deny or admit it, Zheng Wanru laughed sarcastically again:
"Okay, I know the answer now, and I won't bother you anymore.
But before you go, can you give me a hug?"
After saying that, Zheng Wanru stretched out her arms towards Zhu Yan.
But Zhu Yan took a big step back and half-bowed to her politely:
"Sorry, can't do that."
Zheng Wanru had thought she would be jealous and angry, but seeing that he was still so principled, she suddenly felt relieved:
“In that case, let’s just say goodbye.
Finally, I would like to advise you that if you are really moved, don’t hesitate any longer.
If you wait until it's impossible to act, it's too late, just like me now."
Looking at Zheng Wanru's receding figure, Zhu Yan sighed silently.
It's already impossible...
After calming down, Zhu Yan wandered back to the main hall of Wuji Mountain and found that all the core members who could come out were gathered there waiting for him. They thought they were here to settle accounts with him for his past misdeeds and the troubles he had caused to Wuji Mountain in the past year.
There was no need for Sect Leader Liu to speak. He walked straight to the center of the main hall and knelt before Sect Leader Liu:
"Master, I know I am wrong and I am willing to accept the punishment without any complaints!
And promised that from now on, he would never set foot in places of prostitution, and would devote himself to cultivating the Dao and protecting the people!
This submissive look of admitting mistakes and the sonorous oath made Sect Leader Liu excited.
The next moment, Sect Leader Liu was in front of Zhu Yan, his index and middle fingers forming a sword gesture, pointing directly at Zhu Yan's brows:
"Who are you, you evil monster? How dare you take over the body of my disciple? Come out of my body!"
Zhu Yan: "..."
Chu You and others: "..."
I finally understand why they started to let themselves go after joining Wuji Mountain.
It turns out that their master/master is the craziest one!
Sect Leader Liu truly believed that Zhu Yan might have been possessed, but upon discovering that his "Soul-Exorcising Sword Finger" was completely ineffective against her, he withdrew his hand somewhat awkwardly.
"Are you really Zhu Yan? Why did you suddenly become a good person?"
Become a good person...
"Master, you don't understand the meaning of words, can you please not use them carelessly?"
Zhu Yan was extremely helpless, "I was originally a pure young man!"
"Come on, there's nothing dirty about you except your body!"
Sect Leader Liu looked disgusted, which made Zhu Yan become withdrawn.
With his own master around, the few remaining hopes between him and someone else were completely extinguished!
