Chapter 161: Major Scandals One After Another, Luo Xingchen Expelled from His Sect Again

If he hadn't known that the young man in front of him and An Ruosu had already reached some kind of agreement, he would have executed him on the spot.

However, even so, he couldn't just let it go.

With so many people watching, if he were to slink away with his people, the Nine Yang Sword Palace would be completely disgraced.

“Heh heh, what does that have to do with me?!”

Lin Yu crossed his arms and softly uttered a sentence that almost made Sword Qingfeng explode with rage.

His chest heaved up and down uncontrollably, and the anger in his eyes almost overflowed.

This kid truly infuriated people without consequence.

Relying on someone backing him, he completely disregarded him, not even offering a single word of explanation.

“Don’t stand there glaring at me; you should take him back for treatment. Perhaps there’s still hope!”

Watching Sword Qingfeng’s expression, a mix of wanting to kill but not daring to strike, Lin Yu teased.

This guy was unusually cowardly.

He was practically peeing on his neck, yet this guy could still endure it!

He was not as courageous as Sword Jiu Chu.

“Hmph, Lin Fei, aren’t you just relying on the Hehuan Sect for support? Just wait until that woman abandons you; then I’ll show you!”

Seeing that Lin Fei had no intention of giving him an out, Sword Qingfeng roared directly, then led Sword Jiu Chu and disappeared into the crowd.

Since this junior wouldn't give him an out, he'd find one himself.

With the Hehuan Sect and that woman as cover, there was no problem with him leaving.

How could a mere Hall Master like him contend with a Sect Master, right?

He wasn't afraid of Lin Fei; he was afraid of An Ruosu, which was perfectly reasonable.

He… just left?

Watching Sword Qingfeng once again slip away from him, Lin Yu shook his head, speechless.

He really didn't know whether to call this guy timid or wise!

Actually, in terms of results, this guy running away quickly was the most correct choice.

Otherwise, he would have been beaten too.

However.

Sword Qingfeng's words before leaving were like a deep-sea bomb, instantly causing the crowd to erupt.

“My goodness, this guy is also from the Hehuan Sect! Is the Hehuan Sect trying to defy the heavens?!”

“It’s over; Luo Xingchen was already despair-inducing, but I didn’t expect the Hehuan Sect to be hiding an even more monstrous one.”

“Could it be that the Hehuan Sect is about to become the second eighth-grade sect within the Qian Prefecture?”

“…”

Whispers of discussion spread through the crowd.

For small sects, this was witnessing a miracle, but for large sects, this was their disaster.

There were people surprised and sighing, and also people with troubled expressions, all in various states.

However, in an instant, an unusually piercing and clear cry of surprise came:

“Holy crap, news from the sect! That Luo Xingchen has been expelled from the Hehuan Sect, and even his qualification to participate in the Thousand Mansion Competition has been revoked!”

As soon as these words came out, the crowd's emotions were ignited once again.

How could these scandals come one after another, and all of them were earth-shattering?

To verify the accuracy of the news, many people began to contact their fellow disciples in the Lingxiao Pavilion.

A moment later.

Everyone's gaze towards Lin Yu changed again.

From reverence, it turned into shock.

The news was clear: Luo Xingchen's original spot was taken by a young man named Lin Fei.

That is, the person in front of them.

And the Hehuan Sect had indeed expelled Luo Xingchen from the sect.

This news simply astonished them.

They had already witnessed Lin Fei's strength, but the Lingxiao Pavilion's assessment ultimately focused on talent.

How dared the Hehuan Sect operate like this?

Wouldn't it be more secure for both of them to participate in the Thousand Mansion Competition?

Many people couldn't understand why the Hehuan Sect dared to do this.

Luo Xingchen, who had just shined brilliantly on the Lingxiao Pavilion's test pillar, earning the Hehuan Sect ample prestige.

In a blink of an eye, he was abandoned, which looked a bit like killing the donkey after it had ground the mill, no, even before the mill was fully ground, killing the donkey.

At the same time, they also understood what Sword Qingfeng had just said.

If the Hehuan Sect could abandon someone like Luo Xingchen, then it was entirely possible for them to abandon this Lin Fei.

At that time, the Nine Yang Sword Palace might indeed regain the face it lost today.

[Ding~ Detected a crack in Heavens Chosen Luo Xingchen's state of mind, Luck Value -2 million, Host Cultivation Points +2 million.]

Just as everyone was discussing and whispering, a system prompt suddenly came from Lin Yu's mind.

Hearing this sound, a gleam of light instantly flashed in Lin Yu's eyes.

At this moment, the voices of the surrounding people surged into his ears like a tide, and he naturally heard every word clearly.

He already understood why Luo Xingchen's state of mind had such a severe problem.

A perfectly fine person was inexplicably expelled from his sect, and such a thing had happened for the second time!

Such an encounter was difficult for anyone to accept.

And being expelled from the sect was merely a superficiality; what truly dealt a heavy blow to Luo Xingchen was the wound deep within his heart.

One must know that on the path of growth, what a person most desires is trust and reliance.

However, Luo Xingchen was first cruelly betrayed by his family in his childhood, and then repeatedly abandoned by his sect as an adult.

Not only that, even his closest mother had “betrayed” him.

All these things, for a young man of only seventeen, were undoubtedly fatal blows time and again.

Had it been anyone else, they would probably have fallen into a state of madness and been unable to extricate themselves.

Yet Luo Xingchen could still maintain his Dao Heart, which showed his state of mind was beyond ordinary people.

“Tsk tsk tsk, how tragic, a truly miserable encounter. I’ll mourn for you for one second!”

Lin Yu’s eyes held a smile, with a hint of schadenfreude in his heart.

Ye Xuan wasn’t as miserable as this guy.

Indeed, the stronger the Heaven’s Chosen, the more tragic the character setting, which truly exists.

[Host, have you forgotten who caused these tragic character settings later on? If the Heavenly Dao had consciousness, it would probably fight you to the death.]

“Cough… cough, well, I can’t help it; who told this damned villainous halo to always exist?!”

[......]

......

“Everyone listen, leave the entrance of the restaurant immediately, or bear the consequences!”

Just then, a clear, melodious shout, like a yellow oriole emerging from a valley, suddenly came from inside the restaurant.

At the same time, more than ten agile and powerful cultivators poured out of the restaurant like arrows released from a bow.

And the owner of that voice was none other than the beautiful woman who had been responsible for greeting guests at the restaurant entrance earlier—Nolan.

Those cultivators were the security guards of the restaurant; she had rushed back to bring them as reinforcements.

Lin Yu's impulsiveness left her helpless, so she could only use the security issue to bring out these security personnel.

However, by the time she came out, the fight had already ended.

So the security was no longer needed.

But it also made her breathe a sigh of relief; Lin Fei had not suffered the slightest harm.
