48: Chapter 48 I mean, everyone here is trash!

Chen Yan clutched his hand, looking at Leng Qingshuang pitifully.

"Revered Master, you were too ruthless~"

"If you broke these hands of your Disciple that can pound your shoulders, massage you, and cook for you, wouldn't you die of heartache?"

Though he looked pitiful on the outside, his heart was racing with excitement.

"You have to be well-behaved in public, but in private... can we~ ~ ~ hmm?"

"However, Revered Master clearly held back her strength with that scabbard strike."

"Does this count as flirting? Revered Master must have feelings for me!"

"As the saying goes, a beating is a sign of affection, and scolding is a sign of love! This strike, while it looks like hitting me, is actually flirting! It's Revered Master asserting her dominance!"

Leng Qingshuang turned her back to Chen Yan, her slender neck shrinking slightly.

She bit her red lips tightly, using all her might to suppress the urge to turn around and strike this Rebellious Disciple again.

Audacious Rebellious Disciple! Who is flirting with him? Who is asserting dominance? That strike just now was clearly him asking for it! How did it become flirting in his mind? Is there nothing in his brain other than these lewd thoughts? I am so furious!

Leng Qingshuang felt her ears burning hot. She gripped the shuanghua sword tightly, feeling the cold Sword Intent emanating from the shuanghua sword, and barely managed to suppress the urge to purge the Sect of this nuisance.

But which of the experts around them were commoners? They naturally saw the small interactions between Chen Yan and his Revered Master clearly.

Seeing the usually cold, ruthless, and decisive Leng Qingshuang actually getting frustrated by her own Disciple, they were all stunned, even if they didn't understand why.

Leng Qingshuang seemed to notice, her face flushing red. With a flicker of her figure, she immediately returned to her position behind.

Chen Yan was taken aback, but shamelessly followed, complaining aggrievedly: "Revered Master, why are you walking so fast? Your Disciple's injury hasn't fully healed yet."

Leng Qingshuang covered her face, looking as if she had lost the will to live. Embarrassing! Too embarrassing! I have actually been brought to shame by this Rebellious Disciple! I really want to just kill him!

But looking at Chen Yan's sincere expression—though he was lecherous, he was truly good to her—she pursed her lips slightly. Forget it, with everyone watching, killing someone is unseemly.

Chen Yan did not know that in his Revered Master's heart, he had already danced on the edge of death several times. He ran to Leng Qingshuang's side and shamelessly said:

"Revered Master, in this Sect Small Competition, your Disciple fought brilliantly, which can be considered bringing fame to the Ninth Peak, right?"

"To protect the Sect, I almost lost my life!"

"Revered Master~ considering how hard your Disciple worked, don't you plan to give your Disciple a little... loving reward?"

He stared straight at his Revered Master's beautiful side profile, his inner abacus already clicking away.

"Revered Master's lips look so moist~ It would be great if I could kiss them!"

"If not, a hug would be acceptable too!"

"Revered Master's body must be soft and fragrant~ Where would be appropriate to hug...?"

"Should I hug her waist? Or her long legs? Or a face-to-face hug?"

"Oh my~ it's so hard to choose!"

A flash of shy anger crossed Leng Qingshuang's eyes. She waved her jade hand and flicked a gust of wind with her finger!

"Slap!"

A Spirit Stone accurately hit Chen Yan on the forehead.

"This is Revered Master's reward!"

Her voice carried a tremor of embarrassed anger, yet she felt helpless against this Rebellious Disciple.

What loving reward? It's all just an excuse for this Rebellious Disciple's lechery! He actually... actually wanted to molest me! What incredible audacity! Bah! Filthy! Pervert! Scandalous! A Rebellious Disciple who offends his Revered Master!

Chen Yan clutched his forehead, and although he winced in pain, he blossomed with joy looking at the Spirit Stone in his hand.

"So Revered Master likes the 'Dominant Female CEO Falls in Love with Me' script?"

"Although she doesn't say it, her facial expression won't lie!"

"The touch of shyness she showed just now was truly delectable~"

"Ah~ such a cold and tsundere Revered Master, I love it, I love it!"

[Detected host's Rebellious Disciple behavior, rebellious value + 1999!]

[Detected host's Rebellious Disciple behavior, rebellious value + 2999!]

[Detected host's Rebellious Disciple behavior, rebellious value + 3999!]

...

Meanwhile. Tie Wuya received the Sect Head's order and rose into the air. Looking at the thousands of Foundation Establishment Disciples in the square, he announced loudly: "Due to certain reasons, this Sect Small Competition ends early."

"However, the competition rewards remain unchanged, and the rankings are based on the points obtained in the Ancient Desolate Secret Realm!"

He looked down at the statistical data in his hand, his mouth twitching slightly, and continued: "First place: Ninth Peak, Chen Yan!"

"Second place, Sixth Peak, Qian Duoduo..."

"Whoosh~" This statement stirred up a thousand waves. The Disciples who had just exited the Secret Realm looked at each other, their expressions varied.

Everything Lin Qinger did in the Secret Realm was unknown to the other Disciples, except for the fifty or so people who experienced it firsthand. Suddenly hearing this ranking, anyone would be bewildered.

Ninth Peak's Chen Yan? Isn't that the famous trash of the Taiqing Sword Sect? As for Qian Duoduo? A second-generation heir backed by the Sixth Peak! How could they possibly be at the top?

While everyone was whispering, before they could verify with their respective Senior Brothers or Elders, an impatient person jumped out and roared: "There is a conspiracy! I refuse to accept this!"

This person was dressed in black and was clearly a Disciple of the Fourth Peak, Sword Hidden Peak. He pointed at Chen Yan behind Leng Qingshuang, furious: "Who doesn't know that Chen Yan is trash? Why is he the first in the Sect Small Competition?!"

"There must be a conspiracy in this. I ask the Elder to investigate strictly and restore justice to the Sect!"

On the high platform. "Pfft!" Lu Lingdan couldn't help but laugh out loud. He looked at the Peak Revered Master of the Fourth Peak, Song Xuan, and sneered: "Ask the Elder to investigate strictly~ restore justice to the Sect~"

Song Xuan covered his face, looking somewhat embarrassed, and said to everyone: "Do not blame them! They are unaware of the situation, it is understandable, understandable!"

But when someone leads the charge, others naturally follow suit. Many Disciples who were skeptical about this ranking instantly felt like they had found a target and began to fire shots.

"Exactly! He's just a sweeper from the Ninth Peak, why is he first?"

"And I heard he was distracted by Alchemy? Wouldn't that make his strength even worse?"

"The end of this Sect Small Competition was suspicious, and now seeing this ranking? If there's nothing fishy going on, I'll eat sh*t right here!"

"I don't accept it either! I cultivated for ten years to reach Foundation Establishment Perfection and was just about to show off my skills! Why did it end?!"

The noisy waves of sound surged toward the high platform, targeting Chen Yan! A tall tree attracts the wind, let alone an outlier like Chen Yan who suddenly rose to prominence.

A fierce glint flashed in Tie Wuya's eyes, and he wanted to shout to stop them. Su Wenjian, who was beside him, had a slight change in expression and said softly: "Wait and see!"

Several Peak Revered Masters were startled, and actually looked at Chen Yan with some envy.

Although Leng Qingshuang frowned slightly, she didn't say anything. Chen Yan scratched his head, not understanding what was wrong with these experts. But the people below were chirping incessantly, which was very annoying.

Seeing that the experts weren't intervening and Old Man Lu was winking at him frantically, Chen Yan refused to take this insult lying down! I've grown up this big, and I've never been a coward!

He walked to the edge slowly and leisurely, looking down at the Disciples who were jumping the most, his mouth curling into an arrogant, cool, flashy, and Dragon King-style evil smile.

"You don't believe this ranking? Saying there's a conspiracy?"

He raised his eyebrows, seemingly in agreement: "To be honest, I also think there's a problem with this ranking!"

"It's just a Sect Small Competition, why rank so many people?"

He looked at the first Fourth Peak Disciple and smiled: "Wouldn't it be better to just select the strongest one? The other trash can be discarded!"

The Disciple immediately shouted angrily: "Why are you looking at me? You think I'm trash?!"

But Chen Yan quickly raised his hands to calm everyone down, smiling: "Eh~ don't misunderstand! I am not targeting you!"

"I mean everyone here is... trash!"
