413: Chapter 413 Your Joyful Union Sect, isn't that what you specialize in?

Elder Mo Feng rolled his eyes, a nauseating smile appearing on his face, and said unhurriedly: "Xu Ruyu, what you said is not right."

"Your Hehuan Sect is a Sect that focuses on the arts of Yin and Yang union."

"As the former Sect Master of Hehuan Sect, Xiao Nianyin naturally has deep attainments in this area."

"Zhou Jingxing and the others admire Sect Leader Xiao's reputation and want to exchange pointers with her on the arts of Yin and Yang union. Is that wrong?"

"This is an academic exchange! It is seeking advice! It is admiration!"

"How did it become an illicit act in your mouth?"

He became more smug the more he spoke, as if he had found a perfect excuse, and his voice grew louder: "Besides, aren't you people from the Hehuan Sect famous for this?"

"As Sect Master, Xiao Nianyin is even more of an expert in this field."

"Someone is seeking advice out of admiration, so she should be happy!"

"How did she end up being a victim? Xu Ruyu, aren't you making a mountain out of a molehill?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Hehuan Sect members immediately exploded in outrage!

Zhou Daniu's eyes widened like copper bells, and he roared: "Bullshit!"

"What kind of bullshit exchange is that? You kidnap a girl, tie her up, and tear her clothes—is that called an exchange?"

"If I kidnap your wife, tie her up, and tear her clothes, and call it an exchange, would you agree?"

Zhao Tiezhu also cursed: "You old dog, what kind of nonsense are you spouting? Academic exchange? Seeking advice? Do you take everyone else for fools? How can you even say such things?"

Li Ergou was so angry he jumped up and down: "Mo Feng, do you have no shame? Are the things Zhou Jingxing and the others did even human? You're still defending them? Are you even human?"

Fifth Elder Hua Xunhuan also set aside her usual playful demeanor, her face turning leaden, her peach-blossom eyes filled with rage: "Mo Feng, I, Hua Xunhuan, have lived for so many years, and I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen anyone as shameless as you!"

"Forcibly kidnapping someone is called an exchange? Tearing someone's clothes is called seeking advice? Then if I beat you up right now, is that also called sparring?"

The Grand Elder was so angry that his whole body trembled. He pointed at Mo Feng, his finger shaking: "Mo Feng! You... you are simply shameless!"

"How can you even say such things? You have disgraced the entire Taihu Clan!"

Granny Liu did not speak, but a flash of sharp killing intent flickered in her cloudy old eyes, and the hand gripping her cane tightened slightly.

Among those Taihu Clan disciples, some also looked embarrassed.

A few of the older ones had already furrowed their brows.

"Elder Mo Feng's words... are a bit too much, aren't they? What Zhou Jingxing and the others did was indeed inappropriate..."

"Exactly, kidnapping someone and tying them up, how is that an exchange? It's clearly..."

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let Elder Mo Feng hear you."

But there were also those who joined in the clamor, laughing with a sarcastic tone: "That's right, isn't the Hehuan Sect just for this? It's a good thing that someone is seeking advice, why are they unhappy?"

"Xiao Nianyin was the Sect Master of Hehuan Sect, so she must be an expert in this area. What's wrong with Senior Brother Zhou and the others wanting to learn something?"

"Xu Ruyu, you are making a mountain out of a molehill! Isn't it just tearing a piece of clothing? Do you people from the Hehuan Sect even care about such things?"

As soon as these words were spoken, even some of the Taihu Clan disciples couldn't stand it anymore, turning their heads away with expressions of disgust.

Xu Ruyu looked at Mo Feng coldly, his gaze like that of someone looking at a dead man.

He did not refute immediately, but remained silent for a moment.

That silence made everyone present feel an invisible pressure.

Then, he spoke.

His voice was not loud, but it was as clear as if it were ringing in everyone's ears, every word carrying a bone-chilling coldness:

"Mo Feng, you say that the Hehuan Sect focuses on the arts of Yin and Yang union, and that Zhou Jingxing and the others wanting to exchange pointers with Xiao Nianyin on the arts of Yin and Yang union is not wrong?"

He paused, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly, revealing a cold sneer.

"Very well, I will tell you now, what 'Hehuan' actually means!"

His voice suddenly rose like a thunderclap, making everyone's eardrums buzz:

"Hehuan—only when there is union can there be joy!"

"It is the union of minds, the union of feelings, and the union of hearts!"

"It is mutual affection, it is consent! It is not your kind of shameless, forceful, and domineering methods!"

Every word he spoke was like a knife stabbing into Mo Feng's heart, and also into the hearts of every Taihu Clan disciple present:

"You keep insisting that the Hehuan Sect is demonic and crooked, but we, the people of the Hehuan Sect, never force anyone!"

"We value mutual affection and the meeting of hearts!"

"Yet you people of the Taihu Clan commit such base acts of kidnapping and forcing yourselves on others!"

"Tell me, who exactly is the demonic and crooked one?"

His gaze was like lightning, sweeping over every Taihu Clan disciple present, his voice even sharper:

"And another thing, you say Zhou Jingxing and the others wanted an 'exchange'? Fine, then I ask you—is forcibly kidnapping someone called an exchange? Is tearing clothes called an exchange?"

"Xiao Nianyin was crying and begging them to stop, but they laughed even more wildly—is that called an exchange?!"

He pointed at Mo Feng's nose and said word by word:

"Mo Feng, if this is called an exchange, then if I tie you up right now, gag you, and tear your clothes, and call it an exchange, would you agree?"

These words were like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's hearts.

The members of the Hehuan Sect were stirred to boiling blood, some cheering loudly, some clapping and applauding, and some were so moved that their eyes filled with tears.
