Chapter 123 (2/2)
Everyone quieted down. Being expelled from the sect only because of a defeat? Shen Nianxue’s face became paler, and she said urgently, “Please forgive me! Junior Sister!”
Xiaoyue’s beautiful face had no expression. She did not speak again. Shen Nianxue burst out in tears. Suddenly, she laughed with sorrow and lifted her sword, trying to cut her neck. The crowd exclaimed, and Xiaoyue had no intention to stop her. Blood was about to splash when Xiao Chen sent out a row of True Qi to knock away the sword with a clang.
He really did not understand. She was simply being held twice by a man. Did she have to be expelled? Did she have to kill herself? What kind of sect is this Thousand Feathers Sect?
Shen Nianxue’s face shed floods of tears. She kept crying and looked so pitiful. Although many people wanted to ask for mercy at this moment, but they gave up upon seeing Xiaoyue’s cold face.
Many people turned their eyes to Master Xuanji from the Wuyin Monastery. He was the oldest one present and had the highest prestige, so maybe he was the only one to ask for mercy. However, Xuanji just put his palms together and chanted the name of Buddha. The Wuyin Monastery and Thousand Feathers Sect were both ancient sects. He knew the rules of the Thousand Feathers Sect very well that no one could ask for mercy.
“Are you still going to stay here?” At this point, Xiaoyue suddenly said coldly.
Shen Nianxue sobbed twice, and her next move surprised everyone. She slowly untied the waistband and took off her clothes.
There were only two underclothes left as her white skin exposed. But she did not stop and kept untying her underclothes while sobbing. All elders ordered their disciples not to look at her.
This was the rule of the Thousand Feathers Sect. Every disciple expelled from the sect could not take anything away, not even clothes. No wonder she wanted to suicide. To be naked in the public was more painful than death.
Xiao Chen also did not expect this. He reached out his hand and used the psychokinesis to grab a big banner from the stage which then fell on her body under his will.
“Senior Sister Luo, please take her out of here first.” Xiao Chen whispered and gave a glance at Xiaoyue when he spoke. At the moment, Xiaoyue still looked deadpan as if she was a cold-blooded fairy high above the world and did not care about people.
Xiao Chen could not imagine a woman to be heartless like this. What kind of sect Qianyu Nishang had established? The other female disciples just stood and watch silently. The horrible thing was not the heartless rules but the coldness between fellows.
Luo Shangyan held Shen Nianxue and went down the mountain, but Xiaoyue did not even look at her as if the junior sister who had spent a decade together was just a passer-by. She looked at the stage and said, “The ancient martial art of the He Family. Is that so?”
He Xunke laughed to the sky and said, “Exactly. I heard a long time ago that fairy Xiaoyue’s sword, Autumn Water, ranks the third on the Tome of Legendary Weapons. Do I have the honor to trade some blows with you?”
Everyone was surprised and looked at the duster sword in Xiaoyue’s hand. It turned out this was the legendary ancient sword, the sword of patriarch Qianyu, Autumn Water. But this sword had never been unsheathed in over a thousand years, so nobody knew what it was like.
Xiao Chen’s eyes gradually became blank while resting on the duster sword. He suddenly smiled coldly as many people heard this and looked at him with confusion. Some people were hostile to him because they thought he still hated Xiaoyue because of what she did to Shen Nianxue.
Xiaoyue also glanced at him. But she did not care much and left an illusion as she appeared on the stage. Nobody saw how she moved to the stage.
Xiao Chen still couldn’t help smiling coldly. Yu Yifeng looked at him and was confused. He asked with furrowed brows, “Junior Brother Xiao, what’s wrong?”
Xiao Chen shook his head and said nothing. “Autumn Water, Autumn Water. This is exactly the sword I gave to Qianyu Nishang.”
