"Even if we left his talents aside… his appearance… is kind of lacking when compared to the rest of the sect. I always thought the Boundless Yin Yang Sect’s beauty standards were unrivaled. Guess I was wrong." Another expert there commented. "Although having a good appearance is highly recommended, it’s not a requirement," said Sect Leader Qing. "Moreover, Disciple Xiao became a disciple through a special recommendation." "Ah. I feel sorry for my disciples. If I had known they needed to cultivate with someone so ugly, I would’ve never brought them here." Sect Leader Shuang sighed out loud, not caring about being heard by others. However, nobody dared to comment on it. After all, who in their right mind would protect an ordinary disciple like Su Yang and offend the Sect Leader of a powerful sect in the process? Not even the sect elders at the Boundless Yin Yang Sect dared to complain. Suddenly, a calm voice resounded, and it was loud enough for everyone there to hear, "And what good is a pretty appearance when they’re rotten on the inside?" ’Which insolent bastard dares to mock me?’ Sect Leader Shuang frowned as she turned to look at the person who’d just spoken. "D-Disciple Xiao?!" Elder Chu and the others were stunned. They knew Su Yang was a bold and unrestrained character, but they never imagined he would be daring enough to openly mock the Sect Leader of the Mystic Delight Pavilion. However, Sect Leader Shuang didn’t confront Su Yang directly. Instead, she turned to Sect Leader Qing and said, "Sect Leader Qing, is this how you raise your disciples these days? Or do you even bother with your sect at all? I’ve heard rumors claiming you’ve been uninvolved with your own sect for the past several hundred years. I didn’t want to believe it, but after seeing the state of your sect..." It was clear that Sect Leader Shuang had no respect for Sect Leader Qing or the Boundless Yin Yang Sect, but who was going to call her out? "Wow, this sect managed to survive that long without a sect leader? Forget about a niche place like the Boundless Yin Yang Sect; most ordinary sects would’ve collapsed within a hundred years." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂 A familiar voice resounded amid the awkward silence. Once again, Su Yang spoke up. Sect Leader Shuang turned to look at Su Yang with a frown on her face. Yet, she didn’t lecture him, as she thought it was beneath her to entertain a mere disciple. "Disciple Xiao, will it kill you to keep your mouth shut for a few days?!" Another voice suddenly resounded. Surprisingly, it came from a fellow disciple—one who was standing on the stage beside Su Yang. "Why are you even trying to provoke the Mystic Delight Pavilion?!" Yun Xiao Hong continued. Su Yang looked at him and said, "They’re mere guests at our Boundless Yin Yang Sect, yet they dare to behave as if they’re back home. Are our sect nothing in their eyes? And why aren’t you saying anything? As a Core Disciple, you have an obligation to protect your sect’s honor." Su Yang’s words resonated with the disciples of Boundless Yin Yang Sect. However, despite agreeing with Su Yang, none of them could find the courage to speak up. Seeing this, Su Yang sighed, "Ah, this place has truly fallen." When he spoke, his gaze met with Sect Leader Qing for a brief moment, causing her to tremble. "Disciple Xiao, huh? You’re a bold one, I give you that. If you weren’t so ugly, I wouldn’t mind having you in our sect," Sect Leader Shuang suddenly said, finally speaking to him. Su Yang sneered, "What’s so good about the Mystic Delight Pavilion? It’s just another dual cultivation sect." "You bastard! How dare you look down on our sect!" The disciples of the Mystic Delight Pavilion began cursing at him. Su Yang smiled at this and said, "At least your disciples know when to use their mouths." "Are you saying all this stuff because you think your sect will protect you?" one of the participants from the Mystic Delight Pavilion suddenly spoke. "The Boundless Yin Yang Sect will not last for much longer. Once they collapse, let’s see who will dare to protect you." Su Yang laughed out loud, "Even if I were alone today, I would still dare to talk back. After all, why would I be afraid of some thieves?" "What did you just call us? Thieves?" The female disciple frowned. "Yes, I did." The disciple laughed, "I’m actually curious. Out of the countless things you could’ve called us, why thieves? Because we stole the Boundless Yin Yang Sect’s spotlight?" "No, I am calling you thieves because your sect stole the dual cultivation techniques the God of Pleasure had left behind for the Boundless Yin Yang Sect," said Su Yang, revealing this explosive news. "W-what?!" "That’s slander!" "Do you have any idea what you’re saying?!" The disciples and sect elders of Mystic Delight Pavilion began oozing with killing intent. "How dare you, Junior!" Sect Leader Shuang stood up in anger and roared. Stay tuned to empire The Boundless Yin Yang Sect disciples were too puzzled and dumbfounded to even respond. ’What the hell is happening? How does a mere Inner Court disciple who’d only recently joined the sect know this information?’ Chen Yi’s eyes were wide open from disbelief. He turned to look at Sect Leader Qing, who looked just as surprised, mostly because she didn’t expect Su Yang to expose this secret so early and openly. ’Did the Sect Leader tell him? But why? It makes no sense!’ Chen Yi wondered inwardly. Witnessing the commotion he’d stirred, Su Yang continued speaking, "You probably don’t know this, but I once worked as a massager in the City of Pleasure, and I would hear all sorts of rumors from my clients. What I revealed just now is one of these rumors." "So it’s just rumors!" "Bastard! How dare you scare me like that!" "Who in their right mind would believe such an outrageous rumor?!" Hearing their criticism, Su Yang shrugged, "I am but an ignorant man who cannot bear to keep quiet before injustice, and I admit that I am a gullible man who tends to believe everything. However, my customers wouldn’t lie to me." "Fuck! I have never seen someone this damn gullible before!" "If I say that I am your father, would you believe me?!" The entire place became livid again.
