Chapter 67: Jealous Chen Zhutian
These blue-robed swordsmen were attendants of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, each of them exceptionally powerful.
And the leader among them was a man named Chen Zhutian.
He was the son of the Elder of Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, the eldest senior brother of the inner Sect.
Even Yue Jianli, the chief disciple, had to address him as “Senior Brother Chen” when she saw him.
“Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion has a unique tracking method, but I didn’t expect them to arrive so quickly,” Yue Jianli said with a grave expression.
Li Ran was still inside the house!
“Junior Sister Yue, we finally found you!” Chen Zhutian’s eyes lit up with surprise. “Since you entered the secret realm, there has been no news from you. It make Senior Brother worry a lot!”
Yue Jianli, the chief disciple of the Sect, was exceptionally beautiful and talented, she’s what people call a favored daughter of heaven.
And Chen Zhutian, in terms of status, position, and appearance, was also extraordinary.
So, in the eyes of both the elders and ordinary disciples of the Sect, the two were seen as a perfect match.
Over time, even Chen Zhutian himself came to believe this.
This time, after Yue Jianli entered the secret realm and there was no news from her for a long time, Chen Zhutian was extremely anxious. He led a group of attendants to search for her whereabouts.
Unexpectedly, they found her in this small village.
Yue Jianli replied coldly, “Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother Chen.”
“Now that I see you’re safe, I can finally rest assured,” Chen Zhutian said.
Glancing around at the surroundings, Chen Zhutian frowned. “Junior Sister, why haven’t you returned to the Sect and instead stayed in this small village?”
Compared to the mountain where their Sect is located, this place was simply no more than a barren wasteland.
Yue Jianli replied, “It’s nothing, just wanted a change of scenery, to relax a bit.”
“Alright then.”
Chen Zhutian didn’t dwell on it. “Then come back with me. The Sect Master has been mentioning you these past few days.”
“This…” Yue Jianli hesitated for a moment, her expression somewhat reluctant.
Although she didn’t want to leave, she knew deep down that this was the best choice.
“Alright, let’s go…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Aunt Sun walked out, “Girl, do you have something to do? Dinner is almost ready. Why don’t you eat first before leaving?”
Yue Jianli shook her head, “Aunt Sun, I—”
“Oh, by the way, your husband said his arm hurts and he can’t lift it, so he asked you to feed him.” Aunt Sun added.
“…”
Yue Jianli helplessly covered her face.
This guy, of all times, had to cause trouble…
“Husband?”
Chen Zhutian frowned, “Junior Sister, did I hear you correctly? Since when did you have a lover?”
“It’s just a misunderstanding, let’s go.” Yue Jianli didn’t want to dwell on it.
“A misunderstanding? Is that your explanation to me?” Chen Zhutian’s face darkened as he questioned, “So, during this time, you’ve been with another man?”
Yue Jianli furrowed her brows, her expression turning cold, “So what if I have? What’s it to you? Do I need to explain myself to you?”
“You!”
Chen Zhutian’s face grew even darker.
“Fine, I want to see what kind of hidden dragon is in this little village that makes you care so much!”
With that, he tried to lead his men towards the house.
Clang!
Yue Jianli unsheathed her sword, “No one is allowed to enter!”
Chen Zhutian gritted his teeth, “You’re actually drawing your sword against me for a wild man?”
Boom!
Sword intent surged, cutting a gash in front of him!
Yue Jianli said coldly, “Watch your mouth! Cross this line, and don’t blame me for having the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion lose its Senior Brother!”
The attendants looked at each other.
Was the chief disciple and the eldest senior brother really going to fight?
Who should they help?
Chen Zhutian was furious.
Yue Jianli was actually going to fight him for another man?!
During the days she was missing, she must have been with this man, who knows what might have happened between them!
His face twisted in jealousy.
Chen Zhutian took a step forward.
Clang!
Yue Jianli’s sword rang out.
As long as he crossed this line, this sword would definitely strike him!
Seeing her cold eyes, Chen Zhutian’s throat tightened.
Yue Jianli was the second-ranked genius on the Heavenly Pride List. Although he was older than her, he was still weaker than her!
Even if he did win, they would be blood enemies!
Chen Zhutian’s eyes flickered, and he shouted loudly, “Coward in the house, if you have the guts, come out! Don’t hide behind a woman!”
He figured it out.
Yue Jianli must have been deceived by this man’s sweet words. Now, as long as he provoked the man out, he could force him to give Yue Jianli up on his own!
He was a noble, kind, generous, humble, forgiving, and heroic Senior Brother of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, would he lose to a country bumpkin?
“If you have the guts, come out and don’t make me look down on you!” Chen Zhutian stood with hands on his hips, shouting.
“Nah.”
A faint voice rang out.
A giant golden palm appeared in the void, slamming down towards Chen Zhutian like a sky-covering mountain!
“What?!”
Chen Zhutian was startled, quickly flying backward.
Boom!
The giant palm slapped down, causing the land to shake!
