48: I love telling the truth!

What is a keyboard warrior? Ye Yuchen perfectly embodied this term.

"What did you say?"

"If you dare to say it again, I, your grandma, will tear your mouth apart and give you a big slap you'll love!"

Unfortunately, Ye Yuchen picked the wrong target this time.

How could Ling Yuerong, who already had a few thoughts of dedicating herself to him, allow others to belittle the person she wanted to curry favor with?

In fact, Ling Yuerong had already planned it: after her argument caused a bigger commotion, Xu Xi would surely notice what was happening.

With this in mind, Ling Yuerong was certain that even if Xu Xi wasn't interested in her body, he would still give her some simple rewards.

At that time, if Ling Yuerong looked for another opportunity, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort?

Everything was planned so perfectly, and her voice gradually grew louder; clearly, Ling Yuerong was executing her plan in her own way.

And her goal was perfectly achieved; by the time Ling Yuerong finished speaking, some of the surrounding people were already looking at them.

Their eyes held a hint of anticipation; gossiping and watching a spectacle is an innate human nature.

"Fight! Fight!"

Indeed, many people thought this way: if the commotion could be even bigger, perhaps even those from Law Enforcement Peak would be alerted.

At that time, it would truly be a grand spectacle of gossip.

"You two sluts! Is there anything wrong with what I said?"

"Disagree?"

"Then let's see if the Senior Brother Xu you praise so highly will even glance at you two because of this matter."

As soon as Ye Yuchen spoke, the burning, gossiping eyes of those around him grew even brighter, almost like light bulbs.

And with that, Ye Yuchen cut off his own retreat, his face flushed, his neck stiff as he uttered even more provocative words.

He even mentioned Xu Xi's name, as if he hadn't noticed Xu Xi's presence within Gui Xin Hall.

"Oh?"

"It seems you have a big problem with me. I was just fretting about not finding you, but you jumped out yourself."

"It truly is a pleasant surprise after a difficult journey."

"Now, kneel and apologize. Perhaps if your attitude is good, I might spare your life."

Immediately drawn by the sound, how could such a loud commotion escape Xu Xi's ears?

Following the sound, Xu Xi immediately saw Ye Yuchen, whom he had been eager to find.

Moreover, hearing the provocative words from him, how could Xu Xi's personality tolerate it?

He walked in front of Ye Yuchen, shielding Ling Yuerong and Huang Wanqing behind him, and stared at Ye Yuchen with cold eyes, carrying a faint killing intent.

On Xu Xi's blacklist, Ye Yuchen was already marked for death.

It was only because they were within the sect that Xu Xi couldn't directly make a move.

"What, are people not allowed to speak the truth anymore?"

"I love to speak the truth!"

Suddenly, Xu Xi's figure came into view. In that instant, Ye Yuchen was actually a little panicked.

After just hearing Ling Yuerong and Huang Wanqing's conversation, Ye Yuchen had only subconsciously retorted, not noticing Xu Xi's figure further away at all.

Otherwise, Ye Yuchen wouldn't have dared to speak loudly.

But now, the situation was completely out of Ye Yuchen's control. If he were to retreat directly in the face of Xu Xi's questioning, then there would be no need for him, Ye Yuchen, to continue in Xuanjian Sect.

Forcing down the fear in his heart, he swallowed, his throat moving. Ye Yuchen steeled himself and actually retorted against Xu Xi's words.

"The bold thrive, the timid starve!"

In an instant, a million thoughts flashed through his mind, and this was also Ye Yuchen's truest thought.

In addition, Ye Yuchen had also thought of a way out for himself.

Previously, he had tipped off the people in the Hall of Offerings that Xu Xi's mission target was the Spirit Stone Mine.

Later, he also learned that Xun Ya had also visited the Spirit Stone Mine during this process.

As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. In Ye Yuchen's view, Xun Ya was Ye Xueqing's big lapdog, so how could he allow Ye Xueqing to fall in love with a scoundrel like Xu Xi?

If Ye Yuchen could build a good relationship with Xun Ya, and with this exchange of intelligence and his dealings with the Hall of Offerings, Ye Yuchen believed that at certain moments, the Hall of Offerings and Xun Ya would speak up for him.

As long as Ye Yuchen didn't act foolishly and controlled his actions during this recent period, with his daily activities all within Xuanjian Sect, then Xu Xi would absolutely not dare to publicly kill him, or break his limbs or anything like that.

He, Ye Yuchen, was that confident now. Today, even if the King of Heaven himself came, he wouldn't take Ye Yuchen's life. Ye Yuchen said so!

"Are you trying to die faster, you fellow?"

The Drunken Sleep Sword appeared in his hand, then the sharp blade unsheathed, and specks of cold light reflected in Ye Yuchen's eyes.

In an instant, the blade of the Drunken Sleep Sword was already rubbing against Ye Yuchen's neck; a hair's breadth further and it could take Ye Yuchen's life directly.

"You… if you have the guts, keep pushing forward by half an inch. A life for a life, it's a good deal!"

Xu Xi's movement made Ye Yuchen not dare to breathe, and his body remained completely still, fearing that any slight movement would cause him to tilt towards the blade, leading to his immediate death.

However, after the panic, Ye Yuchen saw that Xu Xi's blade showed no intention of penetrating further, and he knew in his heart that Xu Xi still had some reservations.

He immediately uttered provocative words, wanting to anger Xu Xi, while speaking loudly to attract more attention and to draw in the people from Law Enforcement Peak.

"This... Senior Brother Xu actually dared to directly make a move. Although Ye Yuchen's actions were also courting death, Senior Brother Xu's conduct is enough for Law Enforcement Peak to hold him accountable. It's still not very rational, what a pity."

"Exactly, exactly. Look, the people from Law Enforcement Peak are already here. It seems Senior Brother Xu is definitely going to have to copy the sect's main laws a few times."

Around them, there was a flurry of discussions. After witnessing the dispute between Ye Yuchen and Xu Xi, while surprised by Ye Yuchen's provocative behavior, more people were still amazed that Xu Xi truly dared to act.

"How annoying..."

Clearly, hearing the surrounding chatter, Xu Xi also felt annoyed. The blade did not deviate, still pressing against Ye Yuchen's neck. He glanced to the side again, and then saw the figures of the Law Enforcement Peak team that these people were talking about.

"Senior Brother Xu Xi, please don't make things difficult for us. You people are the clearest about the sect's rules."

Coming before Xu Xi, the Law Enforcement Peak disciple disarmed the Drunken Sleep Sword that Xu Xi had at Ye Yuchen's neck, returning it to its sheath.
