Dethroned from the Imperial Throne, Why Are You So Anxious When I Don't Want It Anymore? - Chapter 145

Chapter 145: You Want To Act? I’ll Play Along

Ye Qingling wasn’t a fool; on the contrary, she was very clever, and her intuition was sharp.

Since returning from the Scripture Depository that day, Ye Qingling knew that Ye Xuan intended to give her away as a prized possession.

And now, although she didn’t know why Xu Wangchen was urging her to cultivate, she clearly sensed that Xu Wangchen wanted to get something from her.

However, Ye Qingling also knew clearly now that the person who truly cared for her was gone, and now she had no choice.

For a moment, Ye Qingling’s longing for Ye Yu reached its peak. After a long while, she sighed softly, ignoring the dust on her body, and sat cross-legged to begin cultivation.

For the next three days, Ye Yu didn’t come out to guide Ye Qingling’s cultivation, but instead focused on adjusting his own state.

The day to go to Sword Peak was approaching.

On the fourth day, a Golden Light struck Ye Yu’s Cave Mansion.

It was a message from the Nine Spirits Sect Master, saying that the time for Ye Yu to go to Sword Peak had arrived.

Ye Yu then walked out of his Cave Mansion.

“Brother Wangchen, you’re finally out! Ling’er’s cultivation base has improved quite a bit these past few days. ” Seeing Ye Yu emerge from the Cave Mansion, Ye Qingling quickly greeted him.

But Ye Yu merely glanced at her, then, under Ye Qingling’s resentful gaze, turned into Streams of Light and rushed straight towards the Nine Spirits Sword Sect Main Hall.

Unlike the Zi Xiao Sword Tomb, Sword Peak only allows one person to enter at a time.

As a result, when Ye Yu arrived at the Main Hall, many Disciples looked at him with cold expressions.

“Brother Wangchen, congratulations! After entering Sword Peak today, when you come out, you will be a Pillar of our Nine Spirits Sword Sect’s Young Generation. ” Ye Xuan walked forward with a smile.

However, his gaze kept scanning Ye Yu. When he found that there was no Demonic Qi around Ye Yu, he frowned; but soon he was relieved, assuming that Ye Yu’s cultivation base was high, and the Demonic Qi was temporarily suppressed.

Ye Yu knew what Ye Xuan was thinking, and merely nodded slightly.

“Heh, putting on an act! If Ye Xuan hadn’t been magnanimous and given up his place on Sword Peak, would it have been your turn? ” Seeing Ye Yu’s indifferent attitude, someone immediately spoke.

“Exactly! How long have you been in the Sect? Now you’ve gotten such a great advantage. Not thanking anyone is one thing, but why put on such a face? ”

Listening to the reprimands around him, Ye Xuan grinned, glancing at Ye Yu with a challenging look, as if to say, “See? This is my prestige among the Nine Spirits Sword Sect Disciples. ”

Seeing Ye Xuan’s expression, Ye Yu found it slightly amusing.

Ye Xuan thought these Disciples were speaking up for him, but in reality, they were venting their own dissatisfaction.

Even if the person entering Sword Peak today was Ye Xuan himself, these people would still act the same way.

Such is Humanity!

Unlike the Great Yan Dynasty’s Women, who are foolish, these Disciples are not stupid.

But since Ye Xuan wanted to play, Ye Yu was happy to cooperate. He immediately said, “Gentlemen, does this mean that Ye Xuan gave me this place on Sword Peak? ”

“What else could it mean? You don’t really think you’ve made some great contribution to the Nine Spirits Sword Sect, do you? You’ve only been here a few days, and the Sect Master gives you the only spot? ” Someone immediately spoke.

Ye Xuan twitched the corner of his mouth. It was true that he wanted everyone to think that way, but he felt that something was wrong with Xu Wangchen suddenly bringing this up, and quickly said, “Fellow Martial Brothers, now that the matter is settled, let’s not talk about it anymore. ”

“No way! Senior Martial Brother Ye Xuan, this spot was originally yours. You magnanimously gave it to someone else, we have nothing to say, but Xu Wangchen putting on this attitude is unacceptable! ”

“Exactly! We’re all Fellow Disciples. You were magnanimous for the sake of the Sect, but others don’t think that way! Giving it to a thankless person is unacceptable! ”

The noise around them grew louder and louder. Ye Xuan watched Ye Yu’s smiling mouth, feeling increasingly uneasy.

The next moment, Ye Yu said, “I apologize, everyone. I really didn’t know the situation. I originally thought it was the Sect Master’s arrangement. Now it seems that Ye Xuan gave it to me. I, Xu Wangchen, am not a good person, but I don’t seize others’ chance encounters. Since this is the case, I will not accept this place on Sword Peak. ”

After saying this, Ye Yu turned around and left.

The many Disciples watching were stunned. They didn’t expect Xu Wangchen to actually give up.

But Ye Xuan panicked. He knew very well what the truth was.

It was the Nine Spirits Sect Master who arranged for Ye Yu to go to Sword Peak, to build his reputation and image, that’s why he spread the word that he had magnanimously given up his place.

He was originally trying to win over the People, to get everyone to target Xu Wangchen together.

But if Xu Wangchen really gave up this spot, and the matter reached the ears of the Nine Spirits Sect Master, there would be a huge problem.

“No, no, no, Brother Wangchen, we’re just talking casually, we’re all Fellow Disciples, Brother Wangchen don’t take it to heart, this place on Sword Peak is yours, no one can take it away. ” Ye Xuan quickly stepped forward to stop Xu Wangchen from leaving.

“You say this, do you think I, Xu Wangchen, need your pity? ” Ye Yu sneered.

Ye Xuan was furious, realizing that he had been tricked.

This matter of the spot wasn’t just known to him; Xu Wangchen knew it clearly as well. It wasn’t given up, it was decided by the Nine Spirits Sect Master.

But Xu Wangchen was now playing along, clearly intending to make him look bad.

“How can that be pity? Brother Wangchen’s talent is inherently higher than mine, it’s only reasonable for him to go to Sword Peak. ” Ye Xuan said through gritted teeth.

According to Ye Xuan’s temperament, making him admit he was inferior to others, and even saying it aloud, was more painful than killing him.

“What are you all arguing about!?” Suddenly, a voice of Authority rang out, and the Nine Spirits Sect Master walked out with a frown. He had been waiting for Ye Yu in the hall, but Ye Yu hadn’t come for a long time, and there was a commotion outside, so he came to take a look.

Seeing the Nine Spirits Sect Master appear, Ye Xuan’s face changed slightly, and he hurried forward to say something, but Ye Yu was one step ahead, saying, “Sect Master, return this place on Sword Peak to Ye Xuan, I don’t need anyone to give it to me. ”

Ye Xuan’s words choked in his throat. He glared resentfully at Ye Yu, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Hearing this, the Nine Spirits Sect Master’s expression changed. With his insight and the current situation, he could easily see what had happened. He immediately said coldly, “Ye Xuan, was this place given up by you?!”

Being publicly questioned by the Sect Master, Ye Xuan’s face turned pale, and finally, he gritted his teeth and said, “Returning to the Sect Master… no… it wasn’t. ”

“Then what’s the situation? ” The Nine Spirits Sect Master said again.

“Sect Master, it’s all my fault, it has nothing to do with the other Martial Brothers. If there is to be punishment, please punish me! ” Ye Xuan, with a righteous appearance of taking the blame, knelt down.

He had done this in Great Yan before. Every time he said this, Ye Qingwan would soften her heart, and the people around her would side with him.

But he forgot, this was the Nine Spirits Sword Sect.

The moment his words fell, Disciples began to shout angrily.
