The moment the shout rang out, a figure appeared in front of Ji Ou, raised a hand, and slapped him squarely across the face. Ji Ou didn’t have time to react; he was sent tumbling through the air, rolling several times before crashing to the ground. In that instant, from the surrounding mountaintops, eyes filled with astonishment watched the scene unfold. Ji Ou felt a wave of sorrow and frustration wash over him. Once, a young genius had tried to show off, but before he could even begin… he was slapped away by his own master!

Thud…

As Ji Ou’s body hit the ground, his mind was in a daze. “You little brat, always causing trouble for me!” The Sixth Master, Shi Wuheng, his face dark with anger, lifted Ji Ou into the air with a wave of his hand and brought him close. “Have you lost your mind? Why did you challenge Ye Wushuang for no reason?”

Only then did Ji Ou, still dazed, manage to mumble, “Master, let me explain!”

“Explain?” Shi Wuheng snorted, and with another wave of his hand, he grabbed Jiang Yihan, who was standing on the mountaintop next to Li Wenqing and Mu Zili, and pulled him down. “Ah…” Jiang Yihan let out a cry of surprise as his black robe and hat burst apart, revealing his true appearance. But when everyone saw him now, they were all stunned. Jiang Yihan was usually quite handsome, and though he liked to show off, he was a good person, loyal and well-liked among the disciples of Lingjian Mountain. But now, his face was swollen like a pig’s head, a completely different sight.

“Whoa, what happened to Jiang Yihan? Did a pig attack him?” “Is this even Senior Brother Jiang? Why is he bruised and swollen?” “No idea…”

The disciples were all bewildered. Shi Wuheng brought Jiang Yihan close and pointed at him, turning to Ji Ou, “Look at your junior brother here. He just reached the Wanfa realm and thought he could challenge Ye Wushuang in private. What happened? He got beaten up so badly he looks like this!”

“Do you really think Master Siyin favored Ye Wushuang just because she likes him? No, Ye Wushuang has earned that position.”

“What do you think you are, challenging him like that?”

Ji Ou, looking at Jiang Yihan’s swollen face, muttered, “I’m a bit better than Junior Brother Jiang…”

“Better than him? You wish!” Shi Wuheng was furious. Ever since Ye Wushuang had entered Lingjian Mountain, Master Siyin had specifically gathered the six mountain masters and numerous elders of the Guiyuan realm, emphasizing repeatedly that Ye Wushuang, as a core disciple, would enjoy the same treatment as a mountain master. This had never happened in Lingjian Mountain’s history. Even the most favored geniuses had never been given such privileges. It was clear how important Ye Wushuang was to Master Siyin.

Now, with his two disciples—Jiang Yihan had challenged Ye Wushuang just a few days ago, and now Ji Ou was doing the same—Shi Wuheng was worried about what Master Siyin would think. If she found out, he would surely be in for a severe scolding. Shi Wuheng remembered vividly how Su Xuanyi had been beaten by Master Siyin when he returned from the Qingyun Empire, all because he hadn’t informed her about Ye Wushuang’s talent immediately.

Of course, Master Siyin had told them that the main reason Ye Wushuang was so important was because he could cure Old Master Su. If Su Xuanyi could be punished so severely, then what would happen to his two disciples who were causing trouble?

Shi Wuheng didn’t dare to think about it. He didn’t want to be “tested” by Master Siyin. That was a nightmare he wanted to avoid at all costs.

Jiang Yihan, with a miserable expression, said, “Master, please let me down first. This is too embarrassing…”

“If I don’t embarrass you, you won’t know your place!” Shi Wuheng threw both his disciples aside. “Get out of here!”

Jiang Yihan quickly took out another hat to cover his swollen face. In reality, the injuries weren’t intentional. During their sparring, Jiang Yihan had lost his balance, and his face had collided with Ye Wushuang’s fist… and that was how the tragedy happened.

Ji Ou, feeling dejected, said, “I’ve already spread the word, and everyone’s here. If I leave now, people will think I’m afraid of Ye Wushuang…”

“You brat, are you still talking back?” Shi Wuheng made a move as if to strike again.

“Sixth Master Shi, please stop,” a voice suddenly rang out.
