Abundant Martial Arts Virtue

Inside the Precepts Hall.

Fu Caier was crying her heart out.

With her cries, everyone's gaze gradually turned towards Li Tao.

—So he's the instigator?

The Sect Leader's expression remained unchanged, but his mind was racing.

Could it really be Li Tao?

Li Tao was just a diligent cultivator, quite mediocre in all respects, without Fang Yuming's reputation and talent.

Fang Yuming could brandish a sword against a Nascent Soul cultivator across realms.

A prodigy.

Compared to his talent, a young man's reckless passion was a minor matter.

Fang Yuming was usually virtuous and capable.

Otherwise, why would so many cultivators plead for him?

Perhaps it truly was Li Tao who provoked Fang Yuming, which triggered everything.

I don't have many years left...

If no true genius steps forward, Fuyun Sect will soon fall into mediocrity.

This time, I'll give him a harsh punishment to teach him a lesson.

But I must not destroy his cultivation.

After the punishment, I need to have a heart-to-heart with him to win back his loyalty to the sect.

Only then can he be of use!

"Fang Yuming."

The Sect Leader shouted, "Is it true that Li Tao provoked you, and that's why you acted out of anger?"

Wu Xiaode raised an eyebrow.

The Sect Leader is giving him a chance to speak!

Giving a chance to speak is equivalent to seeking his explanation.

Seeking an explanation means wanting to help him make a minor issue disappear.

The Sect Leader is ready to show mercy!

But—

I don't want to get through it like this.

One day later, when Fang Yuming returns to his senses and learns that it was Fu Caier who first stepped forward, knelt, and pleaded for him—

He will surely be deeply touched!

Without a doubt, Fang Yuming will be indebted to Fu Caier for life!

Destiny's line will thoroughly return to its original trajectory.

—And I'll be finished!

Wu Xiaode clasped his hands, smiled, and said,

"Sect Leader, please see clearly."

"I bet with Li Tao that Fu Caier would not marry him, which merely sparked discord among us brothers."

"He didn't believe it, so he called Fu Caier over."

"Even now, he still doesn't know whether Fu Caier will marry him."

"He also doesn't know if Fu Caier is just playing him."

"Sect Leader, please ask her."

A dead silence fell over the crowd.

The disciples who pleaded for him were all dumbstruck.

The previous uproar evaporated completely.

Li Tao was stunned.

Mr. Zhang looked at Li Tao with a complex expression, a hint of malice flashing in his eyes.

Fu Caier's eyes continued to shed tears.

The Sect Leader's eyes suddenly lit up with brilliance.

Well done.

Well done.

This is true talent and grace!

Throughout history, how many graceful souls have been ensnared by a single word: passion.

Pitifully now, one woman is enough to have the entire sect twirled around her fingers.

—Even with unparalleled cultivation, you'd still end up being her lapdog!

Fang Yuming, if today you can see through Fu Caier's actions, you'll truly have conquered the trial of emotions!

The sect entrusted to you, I can rest assured.

The Sect Leader Bai Zongmang was elated, his gaze sweeping towards a burly cultivator not far away.

—That was the top True Disciple, Yao He.

Fu Caier had already taken the lead once, pleading with everyone.

You, as the senior disciple, step forward to plead.

Then I'll grant you your wish.

In this way, the brotherhood between you and Fang Yuming will deepen.

The sect's future will be yours!

Bai Zongmang sneaked a glance at the top disciple, Yao He, only to see him grinning, his gaze sweeping over the second disciple, fifth disciple, seventh sister, looking as if he was watching a show.

...Damn it.

In such a huge matter, with everyone awaiting the verdict, you, as the sect's senior brother, are merely observing coldly?

What use are you!

While Bai Zongmang pondered, others were also rapidly assessing the situation.

Li Tao closed his eyes, resigned to his fate.

He no longer cared about anything.

"Seventh sister... I've sacrificed my future, even my parents' expectations..."

He silently recited to himself.

Seventh Sister Fu Caier bowed her head, gently wiping her tears.

The situation changed.

Fang Yuming refused to accept the easy way out.

If I stand up for him like this and he accepts it, it will be smooth sailing for him.

Tomorrow, if I appear leaning against him once more in front of my fellow junior and senior disciples, they would only bless us, feeling it was only natural.

It would decisively extinguish all suitors' hopes.

If he truly is a startling talent, it will be evident within two years.

Once he advances to Nascent Soul within two years, I can consummate with him; thereafter, I'll wholeheartedly assist him in ascending to great heights together!

However—

He unexpectedly brought up Li Tao's proposal in public.

This only proves one thing.

He rejected me!

If that's the case, a genius ruined by the sect is nothing.

If you stand against me, I'll destroy you!

Fu Caier's eyes hardened as she kneeled before Mr. Zhang, and spoke softly,

"Uncle Master, it's all my fault for causing this trouble. Please spare both my senior brothers."

Initially, seeing Fu Caier plead for Fang Yuming, Mr. Zhang felt as if he'd been drenched in cold water, filled with malice, met her gaze.

Fu Caier had betrayed him.

As he pondered this, he suddenly heard Fu Caier's voice transmission:

"Uncle Master, please uphold justice for me."

"I've done all I can today, please reveal to everyone how Fang Yuming insulted me and Li Tao."

"Only then can I publicly sever ties with him, a vendetta to death!"

Mr. Zhang was startled but suddenly understood.

Marvelous!

Fu Caier carried out the plan brilliantly!

Since she already pled for Fang Yuming, she naturally earned the disciples' acknowledgment.

However!

However!

As long as I reveal how Fang Yuming insulted her, how can he face receiving her kindness?

"A b***h matched with a dog, united forever."

If such words are spoken, how will Fang Yuming stand before his peers?

Yet—

"Are you sure you want me to say it?" Mr. Zhang transmitted back.

"He took advantage when your attention was on me, launching a sneak attack to win a round against you,"

"I want him dead," Fu Caier continued her transmission, "I want to avenge you, Uncle Master!"

Mr. Zhang closed his eyes and let out a long breath right there.

Indeed.

No matter the previous doubts, once I reveal Fang Yuming's words before the Sect Leader—

Fu Caier and he will utterly sever ties.

From this angle, Fu Caier was always on my side after all.

She hated Fang Yuming intensely.

Everything that was done just now was simply setting up in advance.

I misunderstood Cai Er.

Then let's do it!

"Hahahaha!"

Junior Master Zhang suddenly burst into laughter and said:

"Fu Caier, you always plead on behalf of your fellow disciples, but do you know how they see you? How they treat you?"

Wu Xiaode was delighted upon hearing this.

Say it.

Quickly say it out loud.

Once the entire Fuyun Sect knows how he insulted her, she will definitely break ties with him.

After that, she won't be able to flatter Fang Yuming anymore.

The position of Fang Yuming's sycophant is over!

At this moment.

Elder Brother Yao He suddenly sensed something and was met with Bai Zongmang's disappointed gaze.

Disappointed…

Yao He was suddenly shocked all over.

Back then, when Third Junior Brother was in trouble, I was gloating at the side, and when the Master found out, he had already shown such an expression once.

Today, Second Brother is standing, Fifth Brother is kneeling, and Seventh Sister is still begging.

As the Elder Brother, I'm watching the drama from the sidelines.

It's truly inappropriate!

But just now I was only admiring Fu Caier's exquisite figure, recalling many scenes, and didn't know what the situation is now.

Never mind it!

Just go ahead first!

"Junior Master Zhang!"

Yao He shouted loudly, jumped into the scene.

Junior Master Zhang was taken aback and shouted:

"Get back, this is none of your business!"

When it came to the moment, he didn't quite dare to speak.

After all, it was the Sect Leader who asked Fang Yuming's opinion in private.

By that time, the Sect Leader had sent everyone away.

Only the True Disciples were tested and questioned by the Sect Leader.

If I spoke out without the Sect Leader's permission, where would that place the Sect Leader? Where would it place the sect's rules?

Even Fu Caier only dared to cry bitterly after knowing, not daring to publicize.

No.

She might have publicized it.

Even—

—in the end, it was me who broke the rules and told her about this.

And caused so much trouble.

Junior Master Zhang's face showed an unnatural expression.

On the other side.

Upon hearing the word "get," Yao He suddenly became furious, sneered and said:

"Junior Master, your temper is too great."

But what exactly happened just now?

I don't know!

Fu Caier has such a good figure, just looking at her can inspire a night's imagination without repeating the positions.

Who the hell cares about these lousy affairs of yours.

Yao He looked toward the stage.

He saw the Sect Leader and several elders were all staring at him.

But I'm the Elder Brother!

Can't I do something?

Right.

In the end, it's because this old guy lost one move to the Second Brother.

Yao He walked up to Fang Yuming and softly said:

"Second Brother, you've always acted with great discretion, Senior Brother knows you would never strike without reason."

He looked around and shouted:

"Fellow disciples, let me ask, when any of you were found during confinement, didn't you all sneak back without a word?"

"Who has ever confronted a Junior Master?"

"Since Junior Brother Fang struck, there must be a reason!"

"Isn't that right!"

"Right!" everyone responded in unison.

Yao He warmly patted Wu Xiaode on the shoulder and softly said:

"Second Brother, go ahead, why did you strike; just speak, Senior Brother will stand up for you."

Before Wu Xiaode could speak, a sharp, high-pitched female voice suddenly rang out.

Fu Caier saw the lust in Yao He's eyes, vaguely sensed the Sect Leader's sheltering of Fang Yuming, saw through Junior Master Zhang's hesitation, and finally understood Li Tao's determination.

In comparison, is Li Tao more reliable after all?

Ridiculous indeed.

She exploded with a mournful scream, loudly saying:

"What? Junior Master Zhang, is what you told me through telepathy true? Did Brother Fang call me a slut?"

Yao He was dumbfounded.

Junior Master Zhang's face stiffened.

All the disciples were stunned, showing incredulous expressions.

Clearly—

Senior Sister Fu had just pleaded for Second Brother.

Second Brother called her a slut?

Fu Caier stood up while crying bitterly and loudly said:

"Junior Master Zhang, do you dare to swear to God that you're telling the truth?"

Junior Master Zhang showed a complicated expression and couldn't help sighing.

He realized.

Fu Caier hated Fang Yuming intensely.

She must ruin him.

Indeed, I also want this, but I have concerns.

Since she has already spoken up, then we can only go all out.

"Yes."

Junior Master Zhang showed a solemn expression and quietly said:

"He called you a slut, and Li Tao a dog."

Fu Caier suddenly turned around, drew the spirit fan from her waist, and charged toward Wu Xiaode.

She staggered and fell halfway, collapsing to the ground, crying bitterly:

"Second Brother, what did I do wrong that you dislike me so much."

Everyone was silent.

Wu Xiaode smiled and said:

"Li Tao came to propose marriage, I just asked you one question, will you marry or not."

Fu Caier said: "Second Brother, is that why you insulted me—"

Wu Xiaode directly asked: "Will you marry or not?"

Junior Master Zhang angrily said: "Shut up, it was clearly because you betrayed the sect—"

Wu Xiaode interrupted him: "Li Tao is still kneeling, Junior Master Zhang, stop with the nonsense, Fu Caier, will you marry or not?"

Li Tao turned his head and stared at Wu Xiaode.

Wu Xiaode walked up, crouched in front of him, and quietly said:

"I remember telling you before, she won't marry you."

Li Tao slowly turned his head to look at Fu Caier.

Fu Caier had no choice but to glance at Junior Master Zhang.

Just as Junior Master Zhang was about to speak, a voice came from the stage:

"Let the young ones say it themselves, the matter of Fang Yuming will be discussed later."

Junior Master Zhang dared not say anything more.

Just now, he had leaked the private conversation between the Sect Leader and Fang Yuming to the entire sect.

If he interrupted again—

Could he still want to live?

Everyone looked at Fu Caier.

Fu Caier had nowhere to retreat.

"Li Tao, you are my closest Senior Brother, I've always treated you as an older brother."

She said timidly.
