Transmigrated as the Destined Villain, My Senior Brothers Are Chasing After My Love Chapter 68

Chapter 68: Right, That’s exactly it

Pain? Recovery? Lin Qingyue threw all of that to the back of his mind.

There was only one thought in his head: I must go see Master’s gossip!

He looked at Su Ling. “Martial Uncle Su, I feel much better. Let’s go over there quickly; we can’t waste everyone’s time.”

Ye Zhanxiu blew into his beard and stared—wait, no, he was a handsome man and had no beard to blow, so he could only stare.

“Unfilial disciple, what time are you worried about wasting? I can see you just want to join the fun and watch the joke.”

“Hmph.” Su Ling said meaningfully, “Senior Brother Ye, people have already come knocking on the door. What ‘joke’? Are you saying people aren’t allowed to look?”

Ye Zhanxiu’s face was solemn. “That child must have found the wrong person.”

Su Ling: “Since it’s a case of mistaken identity, we should go over earlier. If we’re late and the fake becomes real, Senior Brother Ye won’t even have a place to cry.”

Sure enough, Martial Uncle Su was also a master of sarcasm.

In the main hall of the Wanjian Sect, the atmosphere was awkward to the extreme, to the point where even a fly wouldn’t dare buzz if it flew in.

Lin Qingyue arrived together with Ye Zhanxiu and Su Ling.

In the group of three, Lin Qingyue walked slightly behind Ye Zhanxiu, while Ye Zhanxiu and Peak Master Su walked side by side.

Si Yi’s gaze first landed on Lin Qingyue, passed quickly, and finally settled on Ye Zhanxiu.

This person looked different from the portrait he had seen. Furthermore, the woman beside him walked with the same solemn expression; the two of them looked like a perfect match—people of the same breed.

Lin Qingyue immediately went to Ye Jingxian’s side, intending to hide behind him to reduce his presence while comfortably eating melons (watching the drama).

In a hall full of people, every movement was clear. Seeing Lin Qingyue’s attempt to hide (like stealing a bell while covering his ears), Ye Jingxian felt amused inside but quietly cooperated, shielding him.

As soon as Ye Zhanxiu entered the hall, he scanned the room. He wasn’t the last to arrive.

“Sect Leader.”

After greeting him, he walked straight to his seat and sat down with a serious face.

This calmness, this unhurried, guilt-free attitude drew everyone’s gaze.

If they could, they would definitely ask why he was so calm. Even if it wasn’t true, shouldn’t he explain a thing or two?

After he sat down, the man in the white fox mask finally raised his eyes and slowly looked over. Ye Zhanxiu nodded politely but remained silent.

The atmosphere was weird. From beside Ye Jingxian, Lin Qingyue’s round eyes secretly peeked at his Master and Si Yi.

Si Yi frowned slightly. Suddenly, he found it hard to open his mouth. He looked at Lin Qingyue.

Lin Qingyue: ???

He’s looking for his dad, why is he looking at me?

He can’t be mistaking me for his dad, right? That would be… inappropriate.

Lin Qingyue didn’t even need to speak; his eyes were so expressive they vividly conveyed his shock, confusion, and bizarre thoughts.

Ye Jingxian, standing beside him, couldn’t send a voice transmission, so he gently nudged him with his elbow. Lin Qingyue reined in his expression and scooted further behind him.

The man wearing the white fox mask, seated next to the Sect Leader, merely glanced indifferently at Ye Zhanxiu upon his arrival before withdrawing his gaze.

He seemed to be waiting for Si Yi, waiting to see what he would do.

And that was exactly the case.

After a long period of hesitation and torment, Si Yi looked at the Sect Leader and dropped a bombshell.

“Peak Master Ye is my father.”

Lin Qingyue: ???

Ye Jingxian: …

Ye Zhanxiu: …???

In that instant, everyone’s eyes fell upon him.

Ye Zhanxiu himself was in disbelief; his shock was visible even on his perpetually serious face.

Immediately following was anger. Fire practically spewed from Ye Zhanxiu’s eyes. Su Ling also turned cold in that instant, looking at him with a complex gaze.

“Senior Brother Ye, is it really you?”

“Junior Brother Ye, you…”

“Senior Brother Ye, do you have some difficulties you can’t speak of? Is there some misunderstanding here?”

The Sect Leader was also completely surprised. “Junior Brother Ye, do you have anything to say?”

If you really took someone’s treasure or something, just return it. Although the deed was unseemly, amends can still be made, right?

One by one, they looked at Ye Zhanxiu with condemning and strange eyes. His face turned pitch black, and he didn’t speak for a long time.

Lin Qingyue watched his Master go through various expressions until finally settling on a dark, silent face.

IneXplicably, he felt like he was watching an honest man rendered speechless, unable to defend himself. He tugged at Ye Jingxian’s sleeve, looking up at him slightly, and whispered, “Should we help Master defend himself?”

Ye Jingxian looked at his innocent Little Junior Brother, his expression complicated. “No need.”

Lin Qingyue doubted his words. Really no need? Master looks like he’s facing a gang of arrogant thugs—powerless to fight back, lonely and helpless.

Sect Leader: “Junior Brother Ye, say something.”

Hurry up and explain! The Sect Leader looked at Ye Zhanxiu, his eyes practically screaming, ‘Junior Brother Ye, explain quickly!’

“Senior Brother Ye, back then the Grandmaster said you were a natural sword cultivator with the purest of minds. To act like this now… you truly have failed the old man’s expectations. Since you have a child, even if he is a useless half-demon, you shouldn’t just abandon him.”

Just as the Sect Leader’s voice fell, Qi Yuan’s voice rang out.

He had arrived late and only heard the Sect Leader’s sentence.

Others might have known about the rumors for days, but he had been engrossed in studying sword techniques and seeking his sword heart.

If the Sect Leader hadn’t summoned him, and if he hadn’t heard his young disciple mention that this Senior Brother Ye seemed to have a half-demon child outside who had now come looking for him, he wouldn’t have known about such a big event.

As soon as Qi Yuan stepped in, he saw the man beside the Sect Leader and met his gaze.

Just then, Ye Zhanxiu slammed the armrest of his chair and stood up. “Bullshit!!!”

“This old man is more wronged than a widow accused of adultery the night her husband died!”

Qi Yuan was startled by the roar. Ye Zhanxiu turned to him and continued, “I, Ye Zhanxiu, walk straight and sit upright; I act openly and aboveboard. When have I ever committed such beastly acts?”

“I haven’t even opened my mouth, yet here you are spewing filth. Don’t you dare stain my clean reputation with your dirty words!”

“There are gods three feet above our heads. You are full of filth, don’t think about dragging this old man into it! I really hope eighty bolts of heavenly lightning strike down right now. Whoever did this beastly deed, strike him dead!”

“I fck! #…&#*…”

He unleashed a rapid-fire torrent of verbal abuse at Qi Yuan, who was standing in front.

Lin Qingyue was dumbfounded, his mouth gaping as he watched his Master go from roaring a rebuttal to a civilized counterattack, and finally, as his pitch and speed increased, simply cursing like a sailor.

His ‘inarticulate’, ‘honest and easy to bully’ Master actually had such formidable combat power!

Lin Qingyue’s mouth hung open for a long time before he pointed at Qi Yuan and said, “Eldest Senior Brother, did he flip some kind of switch in Master?”

After asking, Lin Qingyue remembered what his Second Senior Sister had told him back at Wuqi Abyss.

Look at Master’s combat power! Is this still the Master we see every day?

Lin Qingyue’s jaw practically hit the floor!

Yet, strangely, as Ye Zhanxiu cursed up a storm, everyone else in the Wanjian Sect felt… Right. This is exactly it!

This is the Ye Zhanxiu being slandered. This is the familiar look.
