Who Made Him an Antagonist

309: Chapter 309 Internal Strife Between Master and Disciple (Part 1)Gulp!

Ruan Xingrou subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva. She raised her hand, stuffed the towel into her bag, intending to make use of the towel’s lingering warmth to soothe the longing of the coming days. Then, with a heart full of trepidation, she opened the bathroom door and walked into the studio apartment.

Inside the narrow bedroom, two distinct groups stood facing each other.

One row consisted of five core disciples of the Bright Moon Sect, led by Second Senior Sister Luo Li.

The other row consisted of the Sect Master of the Bright Moon Sect, Dantai Qingyue, standing all by herself.

Yet in terms of Aura, Dantai Qingyue alone was enough to suppress the five women, including Luo Li, so much that they dared not meet her gaze!

Ruan Xingrou, dressed in Hanfu, glanced left and right with her beautiful eyes. Then, gathering her courage, she walked over to Dantai Qingyue’s side. She hugged the slender hand beneath the plain skirt and said coquettishly, ”Master, why have you come to Yunhai City?”

”You didn’t even say hello.”

”You are always so elusive; what if you had accidentally caught us martial sisters acting improperly?”

She was intentionally changing the subject, knowing that her Master was pure and unsullied, hoping to divert the conflict onto herself.

Dantai Qingyue looked slightly to the side, her cold eyes filled with icy frost. ”Your Junior Brother Chen Yuan is dead.”

Hiss—

Ruan Xingrou feigned panic, reaching out to cover her small mouth. ”Chen... Chen Yuan is dead?”

”How is that possible? Even though Junior Martial Brother is the weakest among us, he is, after all, your Personal Disciple, Master!”

”Besides, Master, you also said that Junior Martial Brother has the most profound Luck among us and the brightest future of any Personal Disciple in the Bright Moon Sect.”

”How could he die? Who killed Junior Martial Brother? I’ll fight him to the death!”

Ruan Xingrou wailed, ”Oh my, my poor Junior Martial Brother, my bitter Junior Martial Brother!”

Ruan Xingrou cried until tears were streaming down her face, and with great dramatic flair, she even tried to wipe her tears and snot on Dantai Qingyue’s plain skirt.

Long Lingyin frowned!

Sixth Junior Sister is quite brave!

It’s just that her acting is too poor. It’s truly unbearable to watch!

Dantai Qingyue pulled the hem of her skirt away. With a stern and cold expression on her stunningly beautiful face, she said in a chilling voice, ”A portion of Chen Yuan’s Luck has been transferred to Qin Ge!”

”The one who killed Chen Yuan is none other than Qin Ge.”

She stared deeply at Ruan Xingrou, then looked at Luo Li and the others. ”You are all old acquaintances of Qin Ge. Are you completely unaware of this matter?”

”We are unaware.” Ruan Xingrou shook her head vigorously, looking at Dantai Qingyue, and promised, ”Master, please don’t misunderstand, we have absolutely nothing to do with Junior Martial Brother’s death!”

”If you hadn’t told us, we wouldn’t even have known that Junior Martial Brother was gone!”

”However, recently I have heard some rumors about Junior Martial Brother. For example, that he was bullying men and oppressing women, that he was philandering, and that he colluded with the Eldest Young Master of the Yun Family to deliberately frame Qin Ge!”

Ruan Xingrou was anxious to distance herself from Qin Ge. Then, while appearing to stand on the same side as Junior Martial Brother, she was frantically stabbing him in the back to clear Qin Ge’s name—no, rather, she was trying to make Qin Ge’s killing of Junior Martial Brother seem as reasonable as possible.

However, before Ruan Xingrou could continue, Luo Li raised her cold eyes and, for the first time, retorted to Dantai Qingyue, ”Master, as you said, Chen Yuan was indeed killed by Qin Ge.”

”Not only did we know, but we even witnessed it with our own eyes! If Qin Ge hadn’t made the move, I would have cleared the sect of such disgrace myself!”

Dantai Qingyue stared coldly at Luo Li. Looking at the Personal Disciple she valued the most and who was most like herself, she shook her head and said softly, ”You have been blinded by Qin Ge.”

She sighed and exhaled a breath of clear air. After all, this was an unavoidable situation.

Even she had never imagined that one day, Chen Yuan would be killed by someone else, and would end up abandoned by everyone.

The first time she saw Qin Ge, she knew of his hostility toward Chen Yuan. However, she had never interfered, thinking that Qin Ge would be a stepping stone on Chen Yuan’s path of tempering.

She had even thought that when Chen Yuan was about to kill Qin Ge, she would return a favor to the Li Family and ensure Qin Ge’s safety, allowing him to live a peaceful life.

Until Chen Yuan was killed by Qin Ge, she had never overestimated Chen Yuan’s Luck. It was just that she had underestimated Qin Ge!

She never expected that Qin Ge would actually be able to kill someone with such profound Luck as Chen Yuan!

Luo Li clenched her small fists. ”Hearing is false, seeing is believing! Whether I have been blinded is not for you to decide just by saying so, Master.”

”I only know that ever since Chen Yuan came down the mountain, he was constantly corrupting the reputation of our Bright Moon Sect.”

”In the end, he even colluded with Sakura.”

”Chen Yuan had already fallen into the Demonic Path; his death at the hands of Qin Ge was entirely his own fault!”

Dantai Qingyue said softly with a clear Dao Heart, ”If I were to tell you that all of this was done intentionally by Qin Ge, deliberately guided by him, what would you do?”

Luo Li lowered her eyes and said nothing more, as if unable to refute it.

Dantai Qingyue’s cold eyes fell deeply onto Su Yaoyao. She said gently, ”Yao Yao, tell me Qin Ge’s whereabouts!”

She could track the whereabouts of her Personal Disciples. In fact, for anyone she had met, she could deduce their location if she wanted to. Only Qin Ge’s whereabouts were elusive; he could not be tracked by her calculations at all!

Su Yaoyao pouted, shook her head, and said with a troubled look, ”Master, don’t ask me. A disciple who is married off is like spilled water.”

”Although I haven’t married Brother Qin yet, in this life, I belong only to him.”

”If you want me to betray Brother Qin, you have miscalculated.”

Dantai Qingyue frowned. ”You have fallen for Qin Ge?”

She still remembered that this disciple of hers had never understood romantic feelings. How could she suddenly be so deeply in love with Qin Ge?

Su Yaoyao continued to shake her head, emphasizing firmly, ”It’s not liking, it’s love!”

”Forget it, even if I tell you, Master, you won’t understand!”

”You have never loved someone so desperately, so you don’t understand the mystery of it.”

”Alright, alright, it’s not easy for anyone!” Shangguan Yuer stood up with a bitter expression, trying to mediate. ”Master, I know you are angry, but please don’t be angry yet.”

”Chen Yuan is already dead, not even a scrap is left. Even if you avenge Chen Yuan, Master, and kill Qin Ge, tearing him to pieces, Chen Yuan cannot be brought back to life!”

”On some level, I can also be considered to have a close relationship with Qin Ge, so I can make some decisions on his behalf.”

”How about this: Qin Ge won’t hold Chen Yuan’s mistake of colluding with Sakura against us, and our Bright Moon Sect won’t hold Qin Ge’s killing of Chen Yuan against him. How does that sound?”

Phew—

Dantai Qingyue’s fair, slender neck lifted slightly. Narrowing her cold, beautiful eyes, she shook her head slightly and said softly, ”Yuer, Yao Yao, Luo Li, Xingrou, you four have disappointed me too much!”
