Not only Bai Tianrui, but Mu Shuangshuang behind him was also stunned when she said "Piggy Hero".
What kind of names are "Dumb Dumb" and "Piggy"? Did a human even come up with those names? Have you ever actually been to school?
"you!"
However, as soon as Shen Yunhao said this, the expressions of the two people in the room changed.
If this scandal were to make it into the Nine Provinces News, the two of them would certainly be unable to stay in the sect any longer.
However... Kyushu Miscellaneous News is only published once a month, and it usually only features events with a very large impact, such as the Kendo Tournament.
It seems highly unlikely that they would record such "gossip" that happens almost every day.
"You? Tianbao Pavilion?" Bai Tianrui immediately sneered, "Then I'd like to see how you manage to get my name listed in the Nine Provinces Miscellaneous News!"
Shen Yunhao turned around, scratched his head, and asked Mu Shuangshuang, "I heard that you can buy a news spot for only five hundred top-grade spirit stones? That seems a bit expensive..."
"..."
"It's alright, it's alright! Your name is Bai Tianrui, and you're a disciple of that Qingsong Daoist, right? I just need to find a way to let your sect leader and master know about this, there's no need for all that trouble..."
Bai Tianrui's face turned ashen; Shen Yunhao's words, "Report to the sect leader and master," had struck a nerve.
As an affiliated sect of the first orthodox sect, Baihe Temple places great importance on its sect's traditions.
It's already disgraceful for a core disciple to have an affair with a female disciple of the same sect. If he's also involved in scandals of deceiving ordinary people for money and being ungrateful, especially if he's caught red-handed and the matter is reported to higher-ups, his master, Qingsong Daoren, will be the first to not let him off the hook!
At best, they'll be forced to reflect on their actions in seclusion; at worst, they'll be stripped of their core disciple status, ruining their future!
Chi Dandan was terrified. She knew that she had a weak foundation and relied entirely on Bai Tianrui's protection. If Bai Tianrui was punished for this, she would also be expelled from the sect and suffer a miserable end.
If it were just Pang Shunan alone, they wouldn't have to worry at all; they could easily suppress him!
However, now an unknown cultivator has learned of this matter...
Moreover, this person is so calm and composed; what kind of power is behind him? Is there any way for me to deal with him?
"What...what exactly do you want?"
Finally, Bai Tianrui gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words, his momentum already greatly weakened.
He dared not gamble on whether Shen Yunhao truly had the connections to expose the matter, nor did he dare gamble on the sect's attitude towards it!
"Simple!" Shen Yunhao's eyes turned icy again. "First, Brother Pang, return every single spirit stone you've given her over the years! Second, this bitch, apologize to my brother! Apologize sincerely!"
"Don't even think about it!" Chi Dandan screamed.
"Shut up!" Bai Tianrui snapped at Chi Dandan. He took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and took a heavy spirit stone bag from his storage pouch, tossing it to Shen Yunhao without even looking at it. "There's plenty in here! Is that enough?"
Shen Yunhao weighed it in his hand and sensed it for a moment, and found that there were about ten top-grade spirit stones inside.
For an ordinary person to earn a dozen or so top-grade spirit stones is probably about as difficult as earning a few small goals in the 21st century.
This suggests that either the Pang family has a very deep financial foundation, or Pang Shun'an himself is a business genius that is one in a million...
He wanted to ask if there were enough spirit stones, but he saw that Pang Shun'an was still hanging his head, looking as if "life has no meaning anymore".
Shen Yunhao had no choice but to accept the spirit stones and then turned to look at Chi Dandan.
Under Bai Tianrui's fierce gaze, Chi Dandan trembled and could only bite her lip, reluctantly saying, "I'm sorry..."
Pang Shunan simply lowered his head, his eyes vacant, as if everything before him had nothing to do with him.
"Speak louder! Haven't you eaten? Show some of the arrogance you had just displayed!" Shen Yunhao shouted.
"I...I'm sorry!"
Chi Dandan raised her voice, but her face burned with humiliation.
Even deep within his eyes, where no one could see, a hint of resentment and malice arose!
Pang Shunan remained standing there blankly, without any reaction, as if the apology was just a breeze brushing past his ear.
His heart was completely dead.
Seeing this, Shen Yunhao felt a pang of pity.
Not long ago, this guy was a promising young man, but now... he's been forced into this state.
Did I really do the right thing?
He gave Bai Tianrui and Chi Dandan a cold glance, the chill in his eyes sending shivers down their spines...
However, killing is absolutely forbidden in Linxian City. If too much commotion is caused, it will almost immediately attract the attention of the elders of the Taixuan Dao Sect.
So no matter how angry Shen Yunhao was, he couldn't do anything to these two.
"Let it go for today, but if I find out that you dare to cause trouble for Brother Pang again in the future, I will definitely have a good talk with the elders of Baihe Temple about your temple's reputation!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Tianrui's lips twitched noticeably, but he didn't say anything.
Shen Yunhao picked up the brocade box and stuffed it into Pang Shunan's hand. Pang Shunan numbly accepted it, remaining silent.
"well……"
Shen Yunhao sighed heavily and patted Pang Shunan on the shoulder, "Let's go, I'll take you back!"
...
A moment later, in a high-end private villa in Linxian City.
Bai Tianrui stood before a young man dressed in a dark green Taoist robe with a calm expression, his face barely concealing his anger.
“Senior Brother Pan, this is what happened! That guy who calls himself ‘Piggy Hero’ is extremely arrogant! Not only did he insult my White Crane Temple, but he also extorted spirit stones and forced Dandan to apologize in public! If we don’t avenge this, where will my White Crane Temple’s reputation be in the future?”
The man surnamed Pan listened expressionlessly, his fingertips rhythmically tapping the table.
A moment later, he glanced at Bai Tianrui indifferently, a look that sent a chill down Bai Tianrui's spine.
"So... you came here just to spout this nonsense to me?"
"Senior brother!" Bai Tianrui's face fell. "That brat insulted our sect, how can we let him get away with this so easily..."
"boom!"
Before he could finish speaking, he was thrown backward by a strange force, crashing into the wall. His face flushed red, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"I'm the kind of person who likes to hear the truth and doesn't like people wasting my time with nonsense. This is your last chance to be honest..."
Upon hearing this, Bai Tianrui's face paled slightly, and he had no choice but to recount the events at the inn in detail.
Only then did the man in the black robe nod, "That's more like something a piece of trash like you would do..."
"..."
Bai Tianrui hung his head, daring not to speak out in anger.
The person before him was one of the most valued core disciples of Baihe Temple. He was about the same age as him, but his cultivation had already reached the half-step Soul Control realm, and he was listed on the Nine Provinces Chronicle of Heroes.
"You got into all this trouble for a piece of junk, and even got caught red-handed, leaving you humiliated! Tsk tsk tsk... You dare call yourself a core disciple of my White Crane Temple, Junior Brother Bai..."
Bai Tianrui was so scolded that he didn't dare to look up. He gritted his teeth and said, "Senior brother... you must help me this time! If this gets reported to the temple, I'm finished!"
