Chapter 718: Chapter 718: Why Bother in the First Place

Chen Silin averted her gaze.

Pretending not to see.

She could feel Xu Yining’s current emotions.

And she could imagine, Xu Yining is most afraid of others thinking about her at this moment.

Because the stark contrast would make her a target of public ridicule.

It would make her completely embarrassed.

Thud——

A soft sound suddenly came.

It was Xu Yining, who while retreating, accidentally stepped on someone else’s foot.

Unbalanced, she fell to the ground.

The commotion naturally attracted some attention.

“Xu Yining of the Green Cloud Sect?”

“I heard that Xu Yining was originally engaged to Jiang Fan by contract.”

“But she despised Jiang Fan and let her sister replace her.”

Originally only a few people noticed her.

Hearing this bizarre story, who wouldn’t cast a curious glance?

They all began to scrutinize her.

As a result.

All the people around moved aside, forming a semicircle.

Putting her in the spotlight.

“With such beauty, she’s a great beauty, with excellent talent, no wonder she’s picky.”

“But her judgment is lacking; such a good chance, she gave it to her sister.”

“This is probably the biggest mistake she’s made in her life, right?”

“Removing probably, it’s the biggest mistake.”

“Originally, it should have been her going to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, but now it’s her sister instead.”

“From today onwards, the fates of the two sisters have diverged.”

“One lingers in the Nine-Sect, the other perches like a phoenix on Wutong in the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.”

“When they meet again, the younger sister might have to address the elder sister as ‘Senior’.”

“Sometimes, the change of fate comes within a single thought.”

“My sect’s female disciples, remember Xu Yining’s lesson well.”

“Do not underestimate anyone, to avoid lifelong regret.”

…

Xu Yining climbed up in embarrassment.

The day she feared the most had finally come.

She was completely overshadowed by Xu Youran.

Becoming the subject of ridicule across the land.

However.

Today’s situation was more humiliating than she imagined.

In front of the entire Nine-Sect!

Not only was she ridiculed.

She also became a negative example!

She became the story that elders of each sect used to educate their female disciples.

This made Xu Yining wish she could disappear on the spot.

Never, ever appear in the Nine-Sect again.

She looked at Jiang Fan through tear-filled eyes, amidst countless jeers, turned awkwardly and limped towards the foot of the mountain.

Xu Youran tugged Jiang Fan’s arm, anxiously saying, “Husband, can you help her get into the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion too?”

After all, they shared the same father.

How could she bear to see Xu Yining in such a miserable state?

Jiang Fan said helplessly:

“How can I influence the decision of the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion?”

“Besides, the Pavilion Master was willing to specially recruit you three, it was already a huge favor to me.”

“If I weren’t grateful and asked for more?”

One could easily imagine how the Pavilion Master would view him if he really went to ask for a spot.

At the very least, he would be seen as greedy and ungrateful, right?

Xu Youran knew she was imposing an impossible task.

No longer pleading.

But watching Xu Yining limping away, her eyes couldn’t help but turn red:

“I shouldn’t have let her mess around back then.”

“If I hadn’t agreed to replace her, she wouldn’t be like this now.”

Jiang Fan saw that her feelings were affected as well.

He could only brace himself and chased after her.

“Yining.”

When Jiang Fan caught up, he realized.

Xu Yining’s face was already covered in tears.

She turned her head towards Jiang Fan with a forlorn smile and said, “You finally got to lift your head high, didn’t you?”

“This is the scene you longed for, isn’t it?”

Jiang Fan sighed softly:

“You misunderstood.”

“I’ve said many times.”

“I’ve never blamed you for anything.”

“I agreed when you first mentioned breaking the engagement, the Xu Family had taken care of me for so many years, it was enough, there was no need to uphold the marriage agreement.”

“It was your mother who wanted to marry Xu Youran to me, a mute, and I couldn’t bear seeing her hurt, so I finally agreed.”

“Strictly speaking, it wasn’t your sister replacing you.”

“You don’t need to mind it.”

For some reason, her smile became even more desolate.

Without turning back, she limped silently down the mountain.

Jiang Fan sighed.

Comforting women was never his forte.

Furthermore, with a woman this complex, it was even harder to console.

Li Qingfeng also showed a look of pity, stepped forward and said, “Jiang Fan, don’t worry about it.”

“I’ll go and counsel her.”

He felt very downhearted.

Because after what had happened, Xu Yining was ruined.

With her temperament, she would most likely try to take her own life.

Even if the counseling succeeded and she survives, her Dao Heart would be damaged, making it hard to achieve significant progress on the Martial Path in the future.

Jiang Fan nodded and returned to Xu Youran’s side.

Chen Silin, being more perceptive, sighed and said, “Husband really doesn’t understand women.”

“She doesn’t want explanations, she wants your attitude.”

“A single hug from you would speak louder than a thousand words.”

Jiang Fan was speechless:

“Do I dare hug her?”

“She hates me so much, wouldn’t she just stab me with a sword?”

Chen Silin shook her head, “You’re just a wooden block.”

“I’m not talking to you anymore.”

“Even if I explained, you wouldn’t understand.”

Didn’t Jiang Fan realize by now.

In Xu Yining’s heart, she no longer hated Jiang Fan?

She was just yearning for something she couldn’t have.

But it was too late to say anything.

Jiang Fan scratched his head, “Forget it, with Elder Li there, she won’t be in any trouble.”

Right then.

Eight figures from the Demon Race territory dashed in.

Their powerful auras triggered the alarm on Boundary Mountain.

Wasn’t there supposed to be a ceasefire?

Once they got closer, aside from some calm sect leaders and Supreme Elders,

Everyone was stunned.

“Isn’t that our Desires Sect’s Supreme Elder?”

“Our True Thunder Sect’s Supreme Elder is also here.”

…

They were none other than the nine, now eight, Supreme Elders who went to the Tiger Demon Emperor’s inner residence to carry out a secret mission.

When they left, they did so quietly.

When they returned, they did not announce it grandly either.

They only held a private conversation with Ye Cangyuan for a while, and then each returned to their sect members.

Though everyone was puzzled, they didn’t ponder it too much.

“Junior Brother Jiang!”

“Let’s go, let’s go, Junior Brother Ouyang, Junior Brother Xie and I have prepared a welcome banquet for you.”

Liang Feiyan, along with Ouyang Jun and Xie Liushu, came over with beaming smiles.

Actually, this banquet was initiated by Ouyang Jun and Xie Liushu.

The two couldn’t make it into the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

They could only wish Jiang Fan and Liang Feiyan continued success and glory in the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

Jiang Fan said, “Another day.”

“I need to go back to take care of Elder Zhao now.”

Li Qingfeng and Xu Yining had both left, Zhao Wuji was alone.

Ouyang Jun sighed with disappointment, “What a pity, I traded with other junior brothers for lots of fine wine.”

Xie Liushu also pursed his lips, “Exactly, I even contacted many pretty junior sisters to keep you company.”

Liang Feiyan said, “Can’t Junior Sister Xu and Junior Sister Chen take care of it?”

“You were in that harsh, cold land of the Demon Race for so long.”

“With nothing good to eat, not a single beauty around.”

“We brothers just wanted to make it up to you.”

Thinking about Jiang Fan being held captive for so long.

They all felt a pang of heartache.

Being a captive in the Demon Race must have been worse than being a beast of burden.

In the distance.

Xu Qingyang was conversing with the returning Supreme Elder of the Myriad Swords Sect.

He overheard Liang Feiyan’s words, and his mouth twitched violently.

He quickly came over and twisted his ear:

“You still feeling sorry for Jiang Fan?”

“Do you know what kind of life he lived among the Demons?”
