322 Liu! Yuan!
Xu Ping’s self-destruction obviously stunned everyone. For a moment, no one dared to speak.
The disciples below were all dumbfounded. Who would have thought that they would witness such a shocking event right after the end of the Fire Awarding Ceremony?
They couldn’t even react in time as they looked at the stage in confusion.
The face of the Elder who was acting as the emcee twitched, and he said in a trembling voice, “E-Elder Xu, this is a serious matter. We can’t take it lightly. The Fire Awarding Ceremony is more important now. We’ll discuss it later…”
He had not encountered such a situation in all these years, and it was stuck at such an important time. He could only suppress it for the time being and discuss how to deal with it after the ceremony…
Nonsense! This was too much nonsense!
The others seemed to have been awakened by his voice, and they suddenly burst into a commotion.
What was Elder Xu doing? Retreat!
Why did she retire? She had an affair with someone and violated the sect rules!
With who? Liu Yuan!
Who was Liu Yuan? He was the scumbag who had caused an uproar in the Mythical Flame Sect a few days ago, the one who everyone wanted to kill and who had harmed more than ten women!
As soon as this logical chain was built… Woah… The discussion suddenly erupted, and everyone threw the matter of the Fire Awarding Ceremony to the back of their minds.
The Elders at the top were at a loss. They could only maintain order with cold faces and shout, “Silence! Silence!”
However, this chaotic scene could not be restored in a short period of time.
Xu Ping’s eyes fell on Liu Yuan. There was a hint of encouragement in his gentleness, as if she was saying ‘I’ve done what I can do. Now, go do what you need to do.’
She retracted her gaze and said, “There’s no need to push it back. I’ve already made up my mind. I wasn’t forced by anyone. I’ll withdraw from the Mythical Flame Sect today. However, if the Mythical Flame Sect doesn’t mind our past grievances, I can still be a Guest Elder.”
As soon as she said this, the Elders’ expressions softened a little. They looked at each other and their attitudes began to loosen.
What the Mythical Flame Sect was most afraid of was not that she would bring shame to the sect, but that they would lose a combat power at the peak of the Form Synthesis stage, which would reduce the Mythical Flame Sect’s advantage among the six sects.
In the midst of the chaos, Liu Yuan’s face stiffened and he silently moved toward the door of the forbidden area.
He knew that Xu Ping had good intentions.
Among the people present, other than Xu Ping, Wei Feiyan, and Jiang Miaoran, no one knew his true identity.
He was still an outer sect disciple disguised as Mirror Moon Jade when he appeared in the vision of the other members of the Mythical Flame Sect. Even if Xu Ping said his name, others would only think of Liu Yuan, who was still wanted by the Jade Mirage Sect and whose whereabouts were still unknown.
She took this opportunity to announce her decision to leave the Mythical Flame Sect. She could also create chaos and attract everyone’s attention, allowing Liu Yuan to sneak in more safely.
She might even want to prove that if her Junior Sister could help him, then she could help too.
But there was one thing that she did not know…
Jiang Miaoran slowly walked down from her seat. Immediately, everyone stopped their discussion and waited for the Sect Master’s decision.
She raised her head and looked at her Senior Sister. She took a deep breath and said incoherently, “Senior Sister… Is it true? You and… and Liu Yuan, do you have that kind of relationship? Are… are you doing this to make me give up? Is it to test what he would do in such a situation?”
In fact, she already had a guess in her heart. However, she still had a trace of hope, so she said such an impossible guess.
Xu Ping’s eyes were calm, but she frowned slightly. She had some doubts in her heart. Why would her Junior Sister lose her composure?
This was not what she had expected. At this time, shouldn’t her Junior Sister cooperate with her performance and let Liu Yuan enter the forbidden area?
However, no matter what, it was not right for her Junior Sister to lose her composure. She, Xu Ping, could leave the Mythical Flame Sect now, but her Junior Sister could not. If her Junior Sister self-destructed as well, the Mythical Flame Sect would fall into absolute chaos. So, she changed to a more forceful and formal tone and said, “Sect Master, please forgive me. I do indeed have that kind of relationship with Liu Yuan and we love each other. I’ve already decided to leave the Mythical Flame Sect and might marry him in the future. I might even choose to be his wife and raise children with him… I’m sorry.”
In the end, she still felt that she had let down her own sect.
Jiang Miaoran stared at her Senior sister’s determined yet guilty face, and suddenly felt a little dizzy.
She had been Xu Ping’s junior for so many years. They had spent time together and were very familiar with each other. Of course, she could easily tell if the other party was lying.
Previously, the two of them had been misled by Liu Yuan. Every time they spoke, they would brush past the truth, causing a misunderstanding.
This time, because of Xu Ping’s direct confrontation, there was no buffer between the two.
Thinking of the sweet interactions these days, those happy moments, and those hidden abnormal details, they were still vivid in her mind.
Jiang Miaoran’s innocent and pure heart suffered a huge blow.
The dream-like bubble gradually shattered.
Clearly… Clearly, one was her most beloved Senior Sister, and the other was her most beloved person. Having both of her most beloved people at the same time should have been a happy thing, but why… why did things turn out like this?
Jiang Miaoran’s expression gradually became absent-minded. “Heh, heheh, Senior Sister…”
Xu Ping also felt that something was wrong. She frowned and said, “What’s wrong, Miaoran? Why did you ask that just now… Don’t tell me, don’t tell me you really don’t know my relationship with Liu Yuan?”
Jiang Miaoran’s gaze swept past her stunned Senior Sister, and she shook her head as she spoke slowly, “I didn’t know.”
Wasn’t she trying to capture Liu Yuan that day? Wasn’t she snatching her man? How could she not know?
“Then, then the hair on his body is…” Xu Ping said, confused.
Elder Xu was stunned.
Who else could it be?
At that time, she had already guessed the truth.
Liu Yuan’s face was ashen.
He finally remembered. On the first day of the competition, he was with Wei Feiyan. Xu Ping had come to find him, but he had been busy hiding it and had hurriedly coaxed her away. As a result, she had not revealed her purpose of looking for him.
She was probably here to discuss with Liu Yuan about announcing her withdrawal from the Mythical Flame Sect.
Actually, if he had followed the information that Xu Ping knew, he would have been fine. However, Liu Yuan had kept it a secret — Jiang Miaoran did not know that there was a relationship between Xu Ping and Liu Yuan. Xu Ping thought that it was Jiang Miaoran and Liu Yuan who had sex that day, not Wei Feiyan.
Now that Xu Ping realized that Jiang Miaoran was not aware know about her relationship with Liu Yuan, the events of that day could not be reconciled. Indirectly, Wei Feiyan was exposed as well.
How much did one have to pay for lust?
Perhaps he would never be able to find the answer to this question.
While everyone was confused by the conversation between the Sect Master and the Elder, Liu Yuan reached out and pulled Wei Feixiang into the forbidden area.
Jiang Miaoran and Xu Ping shouted from behind, “Liu! Yuan! Stop!”
322 Liu! Yuan!
