Chapter 201: What Goes Around Comes Around (Second Update)

The tournament immediately entered intermission due to the venue’s destruction. The host hovered in mid-air atop a flying sword, informing everyone the tournament would resume an hour later in another venue.

“Ye Meijing” planned on grabbing a bite to eat first before moving to the new venue, but just as she was about to leave, a group of people approached them from a distance.

But this time, instead of the women “Ye Meijing” was familiar with, it was the Sect Master of the Azure Wings Sect, leading the other immortal sect leaders towards them.

“Ye Meijing” watched the Sect Master come over with a helpless look on her face; she already guessed the likely purpose of their approach.

“What do we do?” Fairy Fengya seemed stunned too—not that she feared those so-called sect leaders, but she honestly didn’t have good enough acting skills to play Ye Wenxin.

“Don’t worry, just be your usual self. As long as that old geezer doesn’t say anything, no one will know.”

Needless to say, the Sect Master had already guessed that Ye Wenxin had hired a stand-in, but he hadn’t expected this stand-in to possess such exceptional aptitude, which led to the other sect leaders developing curiosity towards “Ye Wenxin” as well.

Therefore, the Sect Master was forced to bring the other sect leaders over. But as he naturally couldn’t expose Fairy Fengya as the stand-in before the sect leaders, he would only try his best to elevate the Azure Wings Sect’s image, and settle the score with Ye Wenxin after this matter came to a complete end.

As for how “Ye Meijing” would be dealt with for hiring a stand-in, that wasn’t something they should worry about right now.

“Ye Meijing” relaxed more, but as they got closer, she gradually began to feel that there was something fishy about these sect leaders’ demeanor.

“Miss, do you have a Dao companion?”

“Girlie, do you have a master? Do you prefer a male master, or a female one?”

The Sect Master fumed at their blatant poaching attempts, but no one paid any attention to him. However, judging from the tone of conversation between these several people, the Sect Master should have a very good relationship with them.

As for whether they actually had intentions of poaching, it wasn’t important to “Ye Meijing”.

“No comment.” Faced with these enthusiastic, gossiping old grandpas and grandmas, Fairy Fengya merely used one phrase to block their yaps.

Fairy Fengya, despite preaching about reverence every day, hadn’t even realized that she herself was the least reverent person.

“Ahem, Wenxin, you mustn’t forget reverence,” added “Ye Meijing”, seizing this opportunity to criticize Fairy Fengya for her lack of reverence.

Fairy Fengya’s gaze shifted to “Ye Meijing”, and she quickly answered the two questions.

“She hasn’t broken up with her Dao companion yet.”

With just this one sentence, “Ye Meijing” sensed the strong malice emanating from Fairy Fengya; she had merely teased Fairy Fengya, but she hadn’t expected Fairy Fengya to throw such a big blame at her, still using the same-old third-party trope.

The old grandpas and grandmas were dumbstruck by Fairy Fengya’s words. Although polygamy was common, it was rare for someone to proudly admit to being a third party.

The Sect Master, who was watching the show, almost burst into laughter. Noticing the Sect Master’s schadenfreude, Fairy Fengya continued, “As for a master, this junior only has one person in mind.”

“Ye Meijing” wasn’t sure if she imagined it, but she couldn’t shake off the feeling that Fairy Fengya would continue targeting her. Realizing the danger of the situation, Ye Wenxin deliberately moved closer to Fairy Fengya to prevent her from saying anything dreadful.

But the old grandpas and grandmas still hadn’t reacted since the words ‘She still hasn’t broken up’ were dropped on them, while the Sect Master watched Fairy Fengya watching him, and thought that “Ye Wenxin” had finally been moved by his sincerity.

Hastily, he asked, “Oh, then who does Wenxin want as master?”

Just as Fairy Fengya opened her mouth to respond, “Ye Meijing” poised to pounce, only to see Fairy Fengya elegantly sidestep her.

Her skirt fluttered, carried by a breeze, and her fragrance filled the air, captivating everyone with her elegant movement. Looking again, Fairy Fengya had already captured “Ye Meijing’s” hands, answering, “In this life, I, Ye Wenxin, only seek Fairy Fengya as my master.”

“Ye Meijing” had figured Fairy Fengya would extrapolate, but she hadn’t expected her to use this face to earnestly make such a shameless declaration.

“Eh?” The Sect Master was stunned. He distinctly remembered that Ye Wenxin had initially refused to become Fairy Fengya’s true disciple. But now, Ye Wenxin’s change of heart left the Sect Master somewhat surprised.

However, seeing the others present, the Sect Master could only clear his throat subtly and continue, “Junior Sister Fengya might have extraordinary talent, but she’s rather reclusive. Wenxin, you have such talent; following her would definitely not do you justice.”

“Ye Meijing” nodded vigorously as she listened, feeling for the first time that this old fox was remarkably perceptive.

Fairy Fengya was not just reclusive; she was downright antisocial. If Fairy Fengya didn’t have ulterior motives towards Ye Wenxin, there probably wouldn’t be any interaction between them at all.

“Wenxin has no regrets and is willing to wait.” What was frightening was that Fairy Fengya could still speak so clearly and logically using Ye Wenxin’s face.

“Ye Meijing” was so angry that she wanted to strike with the dragon claw hand, but Fairy Fengya effortlessly caught her again, lifting her up and holding her in her arms. Then, with a gentle tap on her Mute Point, Fairy Fengya left “Ye Meijing” with no chance to refuse.

The others finally realized what was happening; hearing Fairy Fengya’s name made it clear that there was no more drama to play out. However, seeing the beautiful woman being forcefully held by Fairy Fengya puzzled them, so they asked what exactly was going on.

“Oh, her Dao companion is watching us from afar,” Fairy Fengya responded calmly. Everyone suddenly understood, realizing that “Ye Wenxin”, this ruthless person, was forcibly making the beautiful woman in her arms break up.

Indeed, many people were watching from a distance, but most were actually observing the gathering of sect leaders out of curiosity and gossip.

“Ye Meijing” felt helpless and found herself unable to outplay Fairy Fengya. In hindsight, she regretted provoking Fairy Fengya’s sense of reverence. It seemed Fairy Fengya believed her disciple was being too unruly and used Ye Wenxin’s identity to teach her a lesson.

However, due to Fairy Fengya’s words, the others quickly found excuses to leave, effectively defusing the current crisis. “Ye Meijing”, finally free again, felt today’s sun was so glaring it brought tears to her eyes.
