Chapter 74

Chapter 74: Look at my once handsome face!

Xie Chenzhou strode forward, pulling the shocked Wen Buyu away.

Sang Nian stuffed a whole bag of plums into Shen Mingchao’s hands, about to follow Xie Chenzhou, but some cold taunts came from the side.

“Clearly older than her, but still following behind her calling her ‘Little Senior Sister,’ so eager.”

Several cultivators pointed at Su Xueyin, who was picking candied fruit.

“If she didn’t do that, how could an orphan like her live the life she has now? After all, even if she’s not favored, she’s still the daughter of the Sect Master.”

“Everything about her, from head to toe, is given by Chu Yao.”

“Picking up Chu Yao’s unwanted trash all day, doesn’t she have any self-respect?”

“Is self-respect worth anything?”

Su Xueyin’s face grew paler and paler.

A burst of laughter rang out, she put down the candied fruit in her hand and ran out of the shop.

Chu Yao walked towards those people with a cold face.

They became alert:

“What are you doing?”

Chu Yao kicked the person at the front:

“You! I’m going to beat you to death, you stupid, foul-mouthed idiot!!!”

Screams rang out, the counter tumbled over, and the scene became chaotic.

Shen Mingchao hurriedly said to Sang Nian:

“You have to stop her!”

Sang Nian quickly said:

“Don’t fight here! If you want to fight, go outside!”

Then, she rolled up her sleeves and charged forward:

“Today I’ll let you know what it means to be the first boxing champion of the Xiaoyao sect!”

Shen Mingchao, who had just breathed a sigh of relief:

“???”

A group of people fought from the shop to the street, the scene was a mess.

Shen Mingchao, who was trying to break them up, was running around in a panic, just as he finished pulling one apart, another one charged forward.

He was stuck in the middle, getting punched from time to time, his eyes were filled with stars, and he cried out in pain:

“Xie Chenzhou! Wen Buyu! Where did you two go?! I’m going to be beaten to death! I’m really going to be beaten to death!!”

Xie Chenzhou and Wen Buyu arrived at the same time as the Ten Thousand Immortal League.

The leading man waved his hand:

“Dare to fight in the streets of Yujing? One and all, arrest them.”

Shen Mingchao, whose face was bruised and swollen and covered in bumps, felt like the sky was falling.

He pointed at himself in disbelief:

“Me too?”

The man: “Mm-hmm.”

Shen Mingchao: “I’m innocent!”

“I didn’t do anything, I was just trying to break them up, why am I being arrested? I’m innocent!!”

The man looked at him with a look of having seen through him:

“How could you be beaten up so badly if you didn’t do anything and were just trying to break them up? Who are you trying to fool? Go to jail obediently.”

Shen Mingchao raised his head, a line of clear tears slowly slid down his cheeks.

He moved his lips and gracefully spat out a word:

“Grass.”

A group of people were taken back to the Ten Thousand Immortal League and squatted neatly in the prison.

They looked at each other.

Sang Nian scratched her messy hair, realizing belatedly that she had been impulsive.

Impulsive, too impulsive.

“Look at my face!”

Shen Mingchao rubbed two pieces of paper and stuffed them forcefully into his nose, stopping the continuous nosebleed, he choked out:

“Take a good look at my once handsome face! What have you done to it?”

“It’s innocent!”

Sang Nian lowered her head in guilt.

Chu Yao looked up at the sky and whistled.

Shen Mingchao turned to Wen Buyu and the others and complained:

“Where were you two at the crucial moment? Do you know what I’ve been through?!”

Xie Chenzhou turned his head and coughed lightly, looking a little unnatural.

Wen Buyu’s expression was awkward, with a hint of affection.

“Junior Brother Shen, you’ve worked hard.”

He gently patted Shen Mingchao’s head, then gently pulled out the paper stuffed in his nose:

“I…”

Two streams of nosebleed spurted out, flowing all the way to Shen Mingchao’s chin.

Shen Mingchao: “…..”

Wen Buyu: “.”

Wen Buyu silently stuffed the paper back in.

Shen Mingchao “ow” and fell to the ground:

“I never want to be a fellow disciple with you guys again!!! I’m going to betray the sect! Now, immediately, right now!!”

Sang Nian suddenly tugged on his sleeve, frantically winking at him.

Shen Mingchao forcefully broke free from her:

“It’s no use trying to hold me back! I, Shen Mingchao, am a man of my word, I said I would betray…”

He turned his head and met eyes with Song Lanfeng, who was standing outside the cell door with a smile.

Shen Mingchao: “…”

He instantly became obedient and stood up straight:

“Disciple Shen Mingchao, greets the Sect Master.”

The others also greeted Song Lanfeng.

Song Lanfeng nodded slightly to them, and said warmly:

“Are you all alright? No injuries?”

Chu Yao clutched her skirt, her voice very low:

“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have fought.”

Song Lanfeng remained silent for a moment, then sighed:

“Never mind, it’s good that everyone’s alright.”

Xiao Zhuochen walked into the cell, seeing Song Lanfeng there, he lowered his head and subdued his expression:

“Sect Master Song.”

Song Lanfeng said:

“Daoist Xiao, I’ve already spoken to the League Master, they can leave.”

Xiao Zhuochen hesitated.

Song Lanfeng was about to speak when another person strode in:

“Nian Nian!”

Sang Nian’s eyes lit up: “Brother!”

Sang Qiyan rushed forward, seeing blood on her sleeve, his face turned instantly ashen:

“Who hurt you like this?”

Shen Mingchao weakly raised his hand:

“Actually, it’s my blood.”

Sang Qiyan immediately breathed a sigh of relief:

“It’s okay, it’s okay.”

He turned his head to look at Song Lanfeng and Xiao Zhuochen, his gaze fixed on Xiao Zhuochen:

“This must be Daoist Xiao.”

He praised: “As expected, you are as handsome and talented as they say.”

Sang Nian: “…Brother, get to the point.”

Sang Qiyan cleared his throat and took something out of his sleeve:

“I am Sang Nian’s elder brother, this is the League Master’s decree, the fine has been paid, I’m taking these children away.”

Xiao Zhuochen took it, carefully read it, and instructed the people beside him to open the cell door.

Several people lined up and stood outside.

Xiao Zhuochen’s tone was calm:

“If there’s a next time, there will be severe punishment.”

“Yes, yes,” Shen Mingchao nodded frantically, “There will definitely not be a next time!”

“Let’s go.” Sang Qiyan said, “Go sign in front.”

They nodded, and left with Xiao Zhuochen.

Sang Qiyan walked last, suddenly, Song Lanfeng spoke:

“Daoist Sang, please stay.”

Sang Qiyan turned around, confused:

“Is there something?”

Song Lanfeng said: “I am the Sect Master of the Xiaoyao sect, Song Lanfeng.”

Sang Qiyan’s expression became serious:

“My apologies, I did not know your identity before, I was rude, please forgive me.”

Song Lanfeng smiled: “No problem.”

Sang Qiyan: “I wonder what the Sect Master wants to talk to me about?”

Song Lanfeng said: “It’s a long story.”

Sang Qiyan thought for a moment and said to Sang Nian, who was waiting for him at the door:

“You guys go back to the inn first, I’ll be right there.”

Sang Nian said “Oh,” “Then hurry up.”

She turned and ran away.

Sang Qiyan retracted his gaze, about to speak, but suddenly noticed that…

Song Lanfeng beside him was also looking in the direction his sister had left, his eyes complex.

Sang Qiyan frowned, blocking his view:

“Sect Master, this way please.”

Song Lanfeng followed him into an empty interrogation room next door.

The door closed, and there was no one else in the room besides them.

Sang Qiyan said: “Sect Master, please speak freely.”

Song Lanfeng said lightly:

“With a jade lotus pendant, you must be from Qingzhou.”

Sang Qiyan raised an eyebrow, not denying it.

Song Lanfeng: “Or perhaps, you are the City Lord of Qingzhou, Sang Qiyan.”

Sang Qiyan: “The Sect Master has sharp eyes.”

“But, I hope the Sect Master will keep it a secret,” he said, “NianNian doesn’t want others to know that she’s from Qingzhou.”

Song Lanfeng remained silent for a long time, then said:

“NianNian’s surname is Song.”

Sang Qiyan’s expression froze instantly.

Song Lanfeng said:

“The former Valley Master of the Medicine King Valley has confirmed that NianNian is indeed my child.”
