NOVEL NEXT Chapter 22. I'll Give You My Head
Inwardly elated, Ye Danxia outwardly displayed hesitation. “Senior Brother, Little Jin isn’t inherently bad. She was just a mortal who finally got a chance to cultivate. Isn’t it too cruel to expel her like this?”
Ruan Jun immediately looked at Ye Danxia with heartache. “Junior Sister, you’re just too kind! After how she treated you, you still speak up for her. I don’t know what to say.”
“Senior Brother, even if she wronged me, I can’t betray her,” Ye Danxia said, appearing to value loyalty greatly.
“You…” Ruan Jun’s face was full of doting affection. “I can indulge you in everything else, but not this. This Yun Jin has wicked intentions; we absolutely cannot keep her! Leave this matter to me.”
Ye Danxia could only “reluctantly” agree.
“I’ll go to Celestial Sword Peak now,” Ruan Jun said. “Little Junior Sister, wait for me here.”
“Senior Brother, please show some mercy,” Ye Danxia followed, mouthing words of clemency while feeling utterly delighted inside!
Yun Jin!
She had repeatedly humiliated her, even daring to embarrass her in front of so many people.
She had thought Yun Jin was so formidable!
But it turns out she had just secretly consumed some heavenly treasure!
Thinking of this, Ye Danxia felt even more hatred.
On the way to Tianxing Sect, Yun Jin had kept talking about how they should work together as sisters.
But in the end.
She had secretly eaten something good without ever thinking of sharing even a bit.
Yun Jin was indeed just as hypocritical as she had been back in the Yun family!
Ye Danxia’s desire for that ring grew even stronger.
This time.
She must get that ring!
There must be something good inside!
At Celestial Sword Peak.
Yun Jin was chatting with her Senior Brothers and Sisters.
Suddenly.
An angry shout rang out.
“Yue Zhao! Call out that Little Junior Sister of yours!”
Yue Zhao frowned and pushed the door open to walk out.
Ruan Jun approached with an expressionless face.
“Senior Brother, things might not be as you think,” Ye Danxia followed, still pretending to persuade him.
Ruan Jun just looked at Yue Zhao, a hint of smugness flashing in his eyes. “Yue Zhao, that Yun Jin junior sister of yours seemed quite proud today. What’s wrong? Too scared to come out now?”
As the Sect Leader’s top disciple, Ruan Jun was widely recognized as excellent.
But in Tianxing Sect, he had a nemesis—Yue Zhao!
Yue Zhao’s master had become the laughingstock of the entire sect and couldn’t provide him any support.
Yet somehow, Yue Zhao had a great reputation in the sect, with the lower disciples all speaking in his favor. Without any sect resources, not only had his cultivation not fallen behind, but he had always been slightly ahead of Ruan Jun!
Ruan Jun never said it out loud, but inside, he hated Yue Zhao to the core.
Now, he had finally caught Yun Jin’s weakness, which was equivalent to catching Celestial Sword Peak’s and Yue Zhao’s weakness.
This time, he wanted to see Yue Zhao cry and beg him!
Yun Jin, holding a bag of jerky, curiously poked her head out.
Seeing Ruan Jun, she couldn’t help but smile.
Had the trap she deliberately left finally come into play?
“Senior Brother Ruan, want some jerky?” Yun Jin’s eyes curved in a smile.
Ruan Jun snorted coldly, “Trying to curry favor with me now is useless! Yun Jin, you haven’t even officially joined the sect, yet you’ve stolen sect secret techniques. Do you admit your guilt? You people from Celestial Sword Peak, secretly passing on sword technique manuals, are equally guilty of a major offense. All of you will be punished.”
Yun Jin blinked, “Senior Brother Ruan, I’ve read the sect rules. They do state that secret techniques can’t be privately passed on, but they don’t say anything about learning them on your own.”
Ruan Jun almost wanted to laugh, “You mean to say you learned these sword techniques without anyone teaching you?”
What a joke!
Yun Jin nodded seriously, “Indeed. It’s not that difficult. I just watched my Senior Brothers and Sisters practice a few times and learned it.”
Ruan Jun couldn’t help but laugh, looking at Yun Jin as if she were a clown, “Yun Jin, you just ate some heavenly treasure in advance, causing your Qi Condensation stage to progress quickly, right? Essentially, you’re nothing more than a Five Element Root! What, do you really think you’re some unparalleled genius? Learning sword techniques after watching a few times, do you think you have a Natural Sword Body or something?”
As Ruan Jun spoke, his expression grew increasingly mocking.
Ye Danxia’s gaze flickered, and she couldn’t help but chime in, “Little Jin, I just found out that your cultivation progressed so much because you ate a heavenly treasure. You should know that you can’t consume these things recklessly. Although it might speed up your progress initially, it will affect your foundation later on. You’re too eager for quick success!”
Ye Danxia spoke in a lecturing tone.
This was the first time in days she had found a sense of superiority over Yun Jin, and she got a bit carried away.
Yun Jin glanced at Ye Danxia and smiled, “Danxia, you move fast. You’ve already fixed your hair?”
Ye Danxia’s expression stiffened slightly.
She had cut some hair from the back to cover the bald spot, and now it was barely noticeable.
But Yun Jin bringing this up made her grit her teeth in hatred.
“What hair?” Ruan Jun hadn’t heard about this from Ye Danxia and looked at her in confusion.
Before Ye Danxia could say anything.
Yu Songnian’s fingers moved subtly.
A bird flew by, quickly snatching away the fake hair.
Revealing a large bald spot in the middle of Ye Danxia’s head.
Ruan Jun was immediately stunned, his eyes wide.
Ye Danxia hadn’t noticed anything amiss and explained softly, “Senior Brother, I’ll tell you about this later.”
Her demeanor was coy, her smile shy.
But Ruan Jun wore an expression as if he’d seen a ghost.
It would have been fine if her head wasn’t bald, but with that bald spot, using such an expression while talking to him was truly horrifying!
Ruan Jun instinctively took a step back.
“Senior Brother, what’s wrong?” Ye Danxia was puzzled.
Suddenly, she realized something.
She frantically touched the top of her head!
The fake hair she had painstakingly crafted was gone, leaving a large bare patch in the middle.
Ye Danxia immediately covered her head, crying out in panic.
Ruan Jun struggled to avert his gaze, gritting his teeth, “How dare you bully my Little Junior Sister like this! All of you, come with me to the Enforcement Hall right now!”
Yun Jin smiled.
This was the trap she had deliberately set, so she had no objection to going to the Enforcement Hall.
Yun Jin raised an eyebrow and asked, “What if I really did learn these sword techniques on my own?”
Ruan Jun sneered, “Then I’ll cut off my head and give it to you.”
Yun Jin looked at him with a hint of sympathy, “I wonder if you can survive without a head.”
Ruan Jun: “???”
Was she insane?
As if she could have really learned it on her own!
Hah.
She was just being stubborn!
