Chapter 691 The Distance - I Became the Rich Second-Generation Villain

"Xu Qing Tong speaks up for Wang Hao Ran, and now even Master you're speaking up for him. What's the deal? Am I the one closest to you, or is it Wang Hao Ran?" Su Xuan fumed with jealousy and spoke with displeasure. "Ah, I know you lost to Wang Hao Ran and feel unhappy about it, but there really is no need to. You two are simply on different levels; losing to him isn't shameful." Gu Hong Yi sighed. "Master, do you understand what I'm saying?" Su Xuan questioned loudly. "Do you understand what I'm saying?" Gu Hong Yi retorted. The two locked eyes, plunging into an unexpected silence. It was their first dispute as master and disciple. Su Xuan soon realized he shouldn't have raised his voice at his master. His achievements today owed much to him. Just as he was about to apologize, Gu Hong Yi dropped a curt "someone's coming" and transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into Su Xuan's ring. Before long, a beauty in Yin Moon Sect attire arrived at the mountain gate and demanded, "Who goes there?!" "I am Su Xuan," he declared. "Oh, so it's Young Master Su." One of the Yin Moon Sect disciples, having met him before, recognized him as the partner of the Young Sect Master, Hua Jie Yu. "I'm here to see Hua Jie Yu, could you lead the way?" Su Xuan requested. "Please, this way, Young Master Su." The Yin Moon Sect disciple led Su Xuan forward. Following behind, he felt his anticipation rise at the thought of soon seeing Hua Jie Yu. Meanwhile, in one of the main halls of the Yin Moon Sect. Two people occupied the hall. A woman lounged lazily in the main seat, her alluring figure and exquisite face enough to provoke envy in many women and infatuation in countless men. This elegant and noble woman was none other than Hua Fei Xuan, the leader of Yin Moon Sect. In the Eastern Region, the sect's overall power was just below that of the Wang family. Hua Jie Yu stood quietly not far from Hua Fei Xuan, reporting various matters. Compared to Hua Fei Xuan, Hua Jie Yu had less grace but more allure, yet like her master, she was a woman who could easily captivate the masses. "So, the new young master of the Wang family is actually at the sixteenth level of the Holy Realm?" Hua Fei Xuan's laziness dissipated as she heard the report, her seductive expression giving way to astonishment. "It's absolutely true; our Yin Moon Sect was actually late in receiving this news," Hua Jie Yu replied. "I thought Su Xuan was the foremost among the young generation of the Eastern Region, but it turns out a new Wang family young master has emerged unexpectedly—interesting," Hua Fei Xuan remarked with intrigue, her ruby lips forming a captivating arc, though she quickly recalled that she no longer involved herself in such matters. Seducing young talents was better left to the sect's disciples. "What is the age of this Wang family's young master?" Hua Fei Xuan pondered aloud. "That is unknown, but he should be older than Su Xuan, right?" Hua Jie Yu responded uncertainly. "If this Wang family young master is over twenty-five, in terms of potential, he might not surpass Su Xuan, even with an innate spiritual constitution," Hua Fei Xuan noted. "Indeed, Su Xuan has an exceptional cultivation physique that is on par with innate spiritual bodies, and his comprehension is quite high," Hua Jie Yu agreed with a nod. After contemplating a moment, she added, "And one more thing, Su Xuan was severely injured and is being hunted by several factions." "Are you planning to take people to rescue him?" Hua Fei Xuan asked. "Among the men I've met, he's the only one I find admirable. It would be a pity if he died. I simply see his potential, which is why I maintained a nominal relationship with him," Hua Jie Yu stated calmly. Though nominally together with Su Xuan, truly liking him was still far off. "I'm afraid you'll play with fire and end up burning yourself," Hua Fei Xuan warned. "Master, I was personally taught by you; I'm not so easily moved," Hua Jie Yu replied with a seductive smile. The Yin Moon Sect's ancestral method, the 'Yin Moon Devil Technique,' was peculiar; in its early and mid stages, one absolutely could not fall in love, as doing so would easily lead to cultivation deviation and total loss of power. Thus, practitioners of the Yin Moon Devil Technique almost always steeled themselves through experiencing emotions. Simply put, it was to build resistance. Before cultivating the Yin Moon Devil Technique, disciples of the Yin Moon Sect would venture into the world, experiencing such matters and acquainting themselves with various people. Especially meeting excellent young talents or even flirting with them. After a year of wandering the martial world, if they did not fall in love, it proved their heart was firm and they could begin cultivating the Yin Moon Devil Technique. However, outsiders misunderstood, thinking Yin Moon Sect disciples intentionally flirted with people. As a result, the sect's reputation was not stellar. Yet the Yin Moon Sect had never bothered to explain. "Nothing is absolute in this world; don't speak too definitively," Hua Fei Xuan slightly cautioned. "If Su Xuan truly manages to make me fall, I suppose I'd just accept it. Only, Master might need another personal disciple," Hua Jie Yu laughed lightly, covering her mouth. Hua Fei Xuan shot her a mild glare. Hua Jie Yu was her prized disciple, one she had invested much time and effort in nurturing. And Hua Jie Yu had lived up to expectations, nearly mastering the Yin Moon Devil Technique before turning twenty, surpassing even herself back in the day. Once the Yin Moon Devil Technique reached mastery, emotional attachments posed no risk. Hua Jie Yu was now just a step away from mastering it. At this critical juncture, Hua Fei Xuan could not allow any mishap. "Sect Master, Young Sect Master, Young Master Su has arrived and is awaiting in the side hall," a Yin Moon Sect disciple reported entering the main hall. "He’s clever enough to seek me out," Hua Jie Yu chuckled lightly and asked the disciple, "Where is Su Xuan injured?" "That I don't know, but he looks quite pale, apparently not lightly hurt," the disciple replied. Hua Jie Yu turned to Hua Fei Xuan, "Master, I'll go have a look." "Go ahead," Hua Fei Xuan nodded, reminding her, "Remember what I said." "The man who can conquer me isn’t born yet, Master; rest easy," Hua Jie Yu replied confidently, swaying her way with the disciple towards the side hall of the Yin Moon Sect. Su Xuan sat waiting in the side hall, feeling remorseful after the argument with his master, somewhat lost. Time seemed to stretch before a fragrant breeze swept in, and looking up, he saw Hua Jie Yu standing in front of him, her body slightly inclined forward. Though Hua Jie Yu was dressed modestly, from Su Xuan's angle, her curves were indeed mesmerizing. However, Su Xuan merely found it visually impressive, with no other reaction given that he was injured in a way that stifled any normal masculine interest. (End of chapter)
