Chu Nian asked coldly, "Ouyang Hao, who told Yang Zhen, the Supreme Elder of the Nebula Sect, that my father was having an affair with Yin Tiannan of the Demon Clan?"
Ouyang Hao's heart skipped a beat. What he said was true; however, he had only mentioned reporting Hua Yinghai to Wen Ruyan, so that she would know about his efforts to help her cultivate immortality. Others should not know that it was he who exposed Hua Yinghai.
He glanced at Wen Ruyan with suspicion and said in a deep voice, "It was me." He paused for a moment and then said, "What, since Hua Yinghai dared to do it, are you afraid of what others will say? I only said it briefly. It was Yang Zhen who forced your parents and Yin Tiannan to jump off the cliff of no return. It has nothing to do with me."
"Heh, it seems you're trying to absolve yourself of any responsibility in this matter!" Chu Nian sneered. "Then, how did you know that my father and Yin Tiannan are on good terms?"
Ouyang Hao glanced at Wen Ruyan and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you."
Chu Nian asked, "Why were you looking at Wen Ruyan just now? Could it be that the person who told you about this was actually the gentle, kind, and loyal little princess of the Wen family, as everyone sees her?"
Wen Ruyan glared at Ouyang Hao resentfully and said, "Ouyang Hao, I've always considered you a friend, and I've shared many secrets with you without hesitation. But I never expected that after learning this secret, you would tell Senior Yang Zhen, causing him to come to my Hua family and force the patriarch to hand over Uncle Thirteen..."
"Alright, Wen Ruyan." Chu Nian interrupted her high-sounding statement again. "If my father hadn't gotten into trouble, I wouldn't have been qualified to join the Xingyun Sect. Back then, the only people from the Hua family who could join the Xingyun Sect were me and Hua Tianling. Only when Hua Tianling joined the Xingyun Sect did you have the opportunity to become a disciple of the Xingyun Sect. In the end, you are the biggest beneficiary of this."
Ouyang Hao said, "Hua Nian, this matter has nothing to do with Ru Yan. I couldn't stand your behavior and didn't want to marry you, so I told Senior Yang Zhen about this. Now that Senior Yang Zhen has ascended, you are powerless to seek revenge on him, so you come to take your anger out on us little cultivators who are a whole realm lower than you. This is far too unbecoming of a Mahayana Venerable."
Lin Jingting asked curiously, "What kind of behavior of hers do you find objectionable?"
Ouyang Hao, his face pale with anger, roared, "Haven't you seen what kind of person she is? The first thing she does is absorb other people's magical energy. Don't you think her methods are despicable and shameless?"
Chu Nian said, "Back when I was in the Hua family, I never used such skills."
Ouyang Hao: "So you've always thought of yourself as a genius, looking down on everyone else."
Chu Nian chuckled softly and said, "So, you're so infatuated with Wen Ruyan because you think she values you?"
Ouyang Hao was speechless for a moment: If he said "yes", wouldn't Wen Ruyan think that he liked her only because she had once looked at him properly? Wouldn't that make him seem very humble?
But if he says "no," wouldn't that be tantamount to saying that Wen Ruyan has never taken him seriously either? Then he...
Anyway, it seems like no matter how he answers this question, it's wrong.
Lin Jingting turned her head slightly and cursed him, "You really are a jerk!"
Chu Nian suddenly didn't want to kill Ouyang Hao anymore. Sometimes, letting someone live is more painful than letting them die.
"Lin Jingting..." Chu Nian said in a sinister voice.
Lin Jingting demanded, "What are you doing?"
"Get out of the way!" Chu Nian shouted sharply, and with a flick of her hand, a burst of magical energy shot out, throwing Lin Jingting away.
Ouyang Hao met Chu Nian's smiling face again. But when he met her smiling eyes, Ouyang Hao felt a chill creep into his bones.
"Hua Nian, what do you want to do?" Ouyang Hao asked, struggling to suppress the fear in his heart and prevent his voice from trembling too much. "You she-devil, even if you've reached the highest level now, I still look down on you. Don't think that just because you've captured me, you can make me submit... Pfft! Ah..."
Blood spurted from his face; both cheeks had been sliced off by a demonic blade wielded by Chu Nian, causing him to scream in agony. But soon, a sharp pain shot through his nose as well; it turned out that Chu Nian had also sliced off his nose, followed by his ears.
"This is what happens when you talk too much!" Chu Nian said indifferently, throwing away the demonic blade stained with Ouyang Hao's blood because he disliked her.
Chu Nian shaved Ouyang Hao's handsome face into a brick, and even cast a spell to make him have that brick face forever before leaving excitedly.
No sooner had she left than the Lin couple arrived: they had actually been there for a while, but had been hiding in the shadows until Chu Nian left before they showed themselves.
Seeing Ouyang Hao's bloodied face, with his ears and nose all gone, and even his slightly chubby cheeks missing, the couple were both amused and exasperated, but could only put on expressions of surprise and concern.
Li Jueyin asked, "What happened to Nephew Ouyang? Who did this to him?"
Wen Ruyan cried out, "It's that female demon, Hua Nian..."
Although Lin Jingting was thrown by Chu Nian, he was not injured and had already returned, flicking his sleeves.
Upon hearing Wen Ruyan's words, his handsome, almost demonic face darkened, and he said, "So it turns out that back then, it was Ouyang Hao who instigated Uncle Yang Zhen to approach the Hua family and force them to hand over Hua Yinghai."
This guy is truly shameless. He's clearly engaged to Hua Nian, and Hua Yinghai is practically his father-in-law. All he's doing is trying to ruin his engagement with Hua Nian.
If you want to break off the engagement, just go to the Hua family and make things clear. Do you think the Hua family would be so desperate to have you as their son-in-law? You're not some top-notch cultivation genius. Even if the Ouyang family has some status in the cultivation world, that status is limited!
You're really something, driving Hua Yinghai to his death and dragging the Yin siblings down with you. Hua Nian joined the Xuanyuan Palace, and originally had nothing to do with the three races of demons, monsters, and cultivators anymore, but then the Wen family sent people to destroy the Xuanyuan Palace.
Looking back now, Hua Nian's descent into demonic possession was entirely driven to it by you two scumbags.
His words even drew criticism from the Wen family. Li Jueyin rebuked, "Jingting, what nonsense are you spouting?"
Lin Zhao quickly added, "How could you speak up for that female demon? Have you forgotten who crippled your Senior Brother Hua?"
Lin Jingting gave a soft snort and fell silent.
Li Yun quickly said, "Patriarch, Uncle Lin, although Junior Brother Lin is saying this now, when that female demon came and made things difficult for Junior Brother Ouyang, Junior Brother Lin was the one who kept protecting Junior Brother Ouyang. In the end, he was also beaten away by that female demon."
Lin Jingting said, "That was..."
He was interrupted by Li Yun halfway through his sentence: "Junior Brother Lin is all bark and no bite, tough on the outside but soft on the inside."
Ouyang Hao's wound was excruciatingly painful, but no matter how much magic he used to try to repair the superficial injury, there was still no sign of it healing.
