In the morning, Ye Wan was kicked off the carriage by Su Hanjiang and woke up on the ground.
Ye Wan rubbed her bottom, inwardly cursing Su Hanjiang for ruining her beautiful dream.
In the dream, her master was already preparing to rub her face with his fingers.
Of course, Ye Wan only dared to curse in her heart and didn't dare to say it out loud.
She's not going to court death; she's not stupid.
Ye Wan: It's all the male lead's fault, that jinx. I could have been sleeping on the roof.
It's all the male lead's fault.
What did Su Hanjiang do wrong?
He was just having a headache from Ye Wan's babbling all night. When he tried to get his outer robe back in the morning, Ye Wan rubbed her face against his fingers and even smeared saliva on them!
This is tolerable, but Master cannot tolerate it.
He ripped his outer robe back on and then kicked Ye Wan off the carriage.
Hitting someone is a sign of affection, scolding someone is a sign of love, and when feelings run deep, you might even kick them.
This isn't heartlessness; it's deep love.
It was already broad daylight when Su Hanjiang's actions were witnessed by many cultivators staying at the inn.
However, due to Su Hanjiang's strength and unpredictable personality, they only dared to whisper among themselves.
"Sigh, he really is a monster! He's so brutal, he even kicked a girl this young!"
"Exactly, exactly. It's so pitiful to have a master like that. This girl looks a bit silly, maybe she's been abused."
Su Hanjiang was already at the sixth level of the Demonic Infant stage, and his hearing was far superior to that of ordinary people, so he naturally heard the accusations from the immortal cultivators.
He sneered, "How cruel I am, how pitiful my disciple is, all you immortal cultivators may speak frankly. What kind of decorum is this, gossiping in private?"
Being criticized for their behavior by a demonic cultivator made the immortal cultivators feel embarrassed, but no one dared to step forward and stop them.
The male protagonist is not among these people.
Why be a leading man if you don't stand out from the crowd!
Zheng Nansheng stepped forward to help Ye Wan up. Ye Wan didn't notice at first and thought it was Chu Yiming, so she didn't refuse.
Upon recognizing Zheng Nansheng, she quickly brushed his hand away and hid behind Su Hanjiang.
It was as if Zheng Nansheng was a monstrous flood.
Zheng Nansheng's hand froze in mid-air, then awkwardly fell down, clenching into a fist behind his back.
He composed himself and bowed to Su Hanjiang:
"Junior Zheng Nansheng greets Valley Master Su. Miss Ye is still young. If she has done anything wrong, Valley Master Su can punish her. However, she is, after all, a young lady. Valley Master Su, please give her some face in front of outsiders."
Su Hanjiang understood immediately, realizing that the sneaky person from last night was the boy in front of him. He was about to retort when Ye Wan suddenly pulled him behind her.
"What are you doing talking about my master? My master is a powerful demonic cultivator in the Infant Stage, and no one has ever dared to question his actions! Even the Immortal Venerable has to give my master some face. Who do you think you are?"
Ye Wan's aggressive and unreasonable behavior shocked everyone.
Is this girl a masochist?
A disciple of Yueyun Manor couldn't stand it any longer:
"How can you be so ungrateful, you little devil? My senior brother was standing up for you, and you actually insulted him? You're biting the hand that feeds you!"
Ye Wan froze, as if she had been frightened.
She tugged at Su Hanjiang's sleeve, pointed at the disciple, and said in a completely innocent tone:
“Master, he called you an old dog.”
Su Hanjiang: ...
Disciples of Yueyun Manor: !!!
The disciple became agitated: "When did I ever insult Valley Master Su! Don't make false accusations!"
Dare to criticize but not dare to admit it?
Ye Wan's expression changed very quickly, and she immediately switched to a shrewish look.
She put her hands on her hips and pointed at the disciple's nose:
"You did insult me! You dare to insult me but don't dare to admit it! You called me a dog, which means you're calling my master an old dog! And you still don't dare to admit it! Master, look at him!"
Yueyun Manor disciple: Huh?
Without changing his expression, Su Hanjiang grabbed Ye Wan by the collar and threw her into the carriage.
A loud crash came from inside the carriage, even louder than the sound of Ye Wan being kicked off the carriage earlier.
Ye Wan cried out in pain inside the carriage.
But this time, no one thought Su Hanjiang had done anything wrong.
Zheng Nansheng looked extremely unwell; he felt he had taken on an impossible task.
For the first time, I completely negated my own IQ and EQ.
An idiot and a psychopath—these things are useless to them.
Was it a mistake for him to use Ye Wan as a breakthrough point? Should he have chosen Chu Yiming instead?
He at least seems like a normal person.
Today is the opening ceremony of the Immortal-Demon Conference, so it wouldn't be good to be late.
Chu Yiming entrusted Ji Kongmeng to a reliable medical clinic, and then went to the Immortal Venerable's Mansion with his master and junior sister.
The Immortal Venerable's Mansion covers a vast area, totaling three thousand acres.
The central area is the residence of the Immortal Venerable, the left side is the residence of the most respected members of the various immortal cultivation clans, and the right side is the place where various ceremonies and rituals are held.
The Immortal and Demon Conference was also held there.
Immortal Venerable Zheng Kaiyuan was at the peak of the sixth-order Nascent Soul stage, possessing an extraordinary demeanor.
The lady is Luo Ying, the daughter of the previous Immortal Venerable. The two have a daughter named Zheng Ningshuang.
Although Zheng Ningshuang is of noble birth, she did not inherit the strength and talent of her immortal father.
She was the same age as Ye Wan, but had only just established her foundation and could only wield ordinary-level swords.
But the daughter of a celestial being is different after all. Even if she cannot wield a sword with higher spiritual power, Zheng Ningshuang still has a top-tier sword: Ningshuang.
This Frost Condensation Sword has a remarkable history; it was obtained with great difficulty by the Immortal Venerable's wife.
To show his love for his daughter, he gave her the same name.
As a celestial being, Zheng Kaiyuan was very busy with affairs, so he turned a blind eye to his wife's doting on their daughter and never interfered.
