Chen Yin closed his eyes helplessly.
...Sure enough, things turned out to be the worst.
It's fate after all.
but.
He slowly opened his eyes, a hint of a planned plan flashed in his eyes, and then he slowly walked in front of Yu Xiang.
He protected her behind him and bowed to the righteous elders openly:
"Is there any misunderstanding, elders?"
"I have known this girl for many years. There is no way she could be a demon."
31. Flip it! Come and hit me!
Chen Yin spoke frankly, and even though there were so many elders and monks standing in front of him, there was no fear on his face.
Behind him, Yu Xiang was slightly dazed.
She didn't know why Chen Yin suddenly spoke for her, which was out of character, but Chen Yin should have only spoken to her once in this capacity.
Senior brother...why would he help me?
Can he even easily take on a sword that someone unexpectedly threw at him?
Suddenly, Yu Xiang felt that the familiar figure of her senior brother in front of her became somewhat strange and mysterious.
She was distracted for a moment, and only heard Chen Yin laugh loudly: "Elders, there must be some misunderstanding here."
"We can't just casually accuse Miss Yin of being a demon."
Mo Jie frowned, seeming to be slightly displeased with this boy who appeared out of nowhere:
"Boy, although I am very grateful that you saved our disciple, I still advise you not to meddle in other people's business."
"I dare not." Chen Yin said calmly, "I just don't want my friend to be wronged. I wonder why Elder Mojie concluded that Miss Yin is a demon?"
"Humph! What she was about to use just now was clearly the ultimate evil skill of the devil, the Tempering the Underworld Technique!"
"Elder, have you seen it clearly? I am not very knowledgeable, and I don't know what this magic skill, the Tempering the Underworld Technique, is?"
Mo Jie snorted coldly: "Humph, a young boy like you naturally doesn't know."
"Hundreds of years ago, the devil was at its peak. The Eternal Demon Lord, who had mastered the Tempering Nether Art, was able to contend with the righteous in the world with his own strength. The righteous had to gather all the power in the world to barely kill him, and the world could regain peace."
Chen Yin immediately made an expression of sudden enlightenment: "So that's how it is! I'm grateful for your advice."
"However... I have another question. May I ask how many years you have been practicing Taoism?"
Mo Jie suddenly froze.
He had only been in the Shangqing realm for a few decades, and had practiced Taoism for only two hundred years.
"I don't understand. Since I didn't know at that time, how did the elder know what the Tempering Nether Art looked like?"
Chen Yin bowed gently, his eyes were calm, and his tone was not sharp, but it caused everyone present to whisper.
Mo Jie's face was gloomy and uncertain. He was indeed certain that Yu Xiang had just used the Tempering Nether Art, but he was not in a position to reveal the reason in public.
So, he held it in for a long time before gritting his teeth and saying, "...You kid, do you think I would condescend to slander a little girl?"
"That would be a disaster for me." Chen Yin pretended to be panicked and said, "I am just afraid that the elder didn't see it clearly and misunderstood."
"If the elder has real evidence to prove that Miss Yin is wrong, then I am willing to apologize to my fellow Taoists for my behavior today of helping my relatives instead of helping others."
Chen Yin's words were flawless and extremely smooth. The elders and guests of Wanxiang Pavilion looked at each other in bewilderment. Even Wanxiang Pavilion Master Wan Yunhai slapped his small fan and said thoughtfully, "This matter...we did seem to be a little careless."
"Why not do a little investigation to prove Miss Yin's innocence before making any plans—"
"No!" Mo Jie's stern shout interrupted everyone's thoughts.
Everyone looked at him, only to see that his eyes were slightly gloomy. He was not only looking at Yin Mengwan, but also at Chen Yin.
"The matter of the Demonic Path is of great importance and cannot be neglected! If this girl really has a clear conscience, she will follow us back to the Wuling Sect to investigate!"
After hearing these words, not only the audience, but even Wan Yunhai looked embarrassed.
Chen Yin narrowed his eyes deeply.
...He finally figured it out.
The others were still sober and rational, except for Elder Mo Jie. He didn't seem to want to find out the evildoer, but rather wanted Xiang'er to die.
Combined with the way Xiang'er looked at him before, Chen Yin already had a vague guess in his mind.
If Xiang'er really lets him go back to Wuling Sect with him, then what will they do to Xiang'er at that time? Outsiders will have no way to know.
So, after a little thought, Chen Yin took a deep breath and changed his tone.
"Elder, although I am also a disciple of Wuling Sect."
"But I can't bear to see my friends being slandered."
"Please reconsider, Elder." He took a step forward lightly, but his tone no longer had the previous respectfulness.
In Mo Jie's eyes, his behavior was extremely disrespectful.
Mo Jie's eyes became increasingly gloomy:
"Which sect of the Wuling Sect are you from? Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble by protecting the evil witch?"
"Disciple Chen Yin, a disciple of Yushan, a branch of the Wuling Sect."
Chen Yin said softly, "Master, Immortal Yu Ling."
Amid the clamor, Mo Jie's eyes became filled with doubt and he murmured, "That woman Yu Ling..."
Chen Yin noticed that when Mo Jie heard the name of his master, his expression seemed to become noticeably nervous.
But he was a cunning old man after all, so Mo Jie quickly calmed down and continued to speak sternly:
"Our sect's Immortal Yu Ling hates evil the most. If you are protecting the evil witch and your master finds out, won't he immediately sever ties with you?"
Chen Yin remained calm and even felt like laughing.
...You said that old loli woman wanted to break off relations with me?
Then you'll have to follow her around and clean up her mess for me every day?
With that little bit of property you have, that old woman will squander it all in a minute.
So Chen Yin said nonchalantly: "I will do what is right and be brave when I see injustice. As long as I have a clear conscience, I think my master will not blame me."
This one sentence put Mo Jie in a difficult situation.
He really didn't dare to report this matter to Immortal Yu Ling, otherwise he would have trouble explaining himself.
Just when the atmosphere was a little tense, what Chen Yin didn't expect was that a slightly weak and evil voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"Mr. Chen..."
"Thank you very much for what happened today."
"But there's no need to get involved in this mess for me."
"...You go."
That was Yu Xiang's figure.
These words stunned Chen Yin, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at her.
Yu Xiang lowered her head slightly, with her veil hanging low, covering her graceful and mysterious face. Under the veil, her eyes looked a little lonely, she bit her red lips lightly, and her voice was trembling slightly.
"Don't... cause yourself any more trouble for me."
Chen Yin was silent for a moment.
Yu Xiang lowered her head, as if she was afraid to look at Chen Yin's face.
In her heart, she had always expected Chen Yin to be like a great hero, standing in front of her, blocking all rumors and malicious slander for her, and fighting against the world for her.
But when this really happened in front of her, she suddenly became scared and timid.
…She didn’t want her senior brother to get stuck in the quagmire because of her.
He is her only support now.
If you get into trouble because of me, then...what should I do...
Just as she lowered her head and pursed her lips tightly, she suddenly heard Chen Yin's lazy sigh.
"Ugh."
"You just know how to cause me trouble."
There was a hint of inexplicable doting in his tone, causing Yu Xiang's eyes to widen slightly.
"What a reversal! Actually, I didn't come here today to stand up for justice when I saw injustice."
Chen Yin suddenly put away his previous gentle and refined appearance, spread out his hands with a smile, and spoke loudly.
"I'm going to stop pretending. I'm going to show my cards. I'm going to protect this girl."
"If you don't agree, come and hit me, you old bastard."
32. Starry Night
When Chen Yin said this, his tone was extremely relaxed.
But after the words were spoken, the entire audience fell into dead silence for several seconds.
No one expected that the young disciple of the Wu Ling Sect branch, who had been so respectful just now, would suddenly change his attitude 180 degrees and start scolding Elder Mo Jie by name.
Mo Jie was stunned for several seconds, his expression changed several times, and finally turned black.
Yu Xiang was also confused. Did her senior brother really intend to fall out in public?
"You... have the guts to say it again?" Mo Jie stared at Chen Yin and squeezed out each word from his teeth.
"Didn't you hear clearly? Oh, that's right. Old people's hearing is usually not very good."
So Chen Yin cleared his throat and read aloud: "I say, you old bastard, you old man who can't even get three big teeth together when you eat a meal, you are a piece of shit dug out from some desolate grave, you are a jerk who can't even get up even if ten beautiful women take off their clothes and sit in your arms..."
A series of non-repetitive slanderous words made the faces of the people around him look even weirder, and they even had a hard time holding back their laughter. Especially Wan Yunhai, when he heard the name "yang X man", he almost laughed out loud, and it was only when the guest beside him pulled him that he managed to hold it back.
"I'm sorry...but his scolding was really funny, hahahaha."
Mo Jie's body trembled slightly, and his eyes revealed a murderous gleam.
"Don't be so rude to me." Chen Yin said nonchalantly, "I like this girl. Maybe if I date her, I'll have a chance to get her. How can I let you, an old dog, ruin her?"
"When the time comes, I will be short of a female confidante. Can you ask your wife to accompany me?"
"You little beast, you're looking for death!"
In an instant, a powerful force of wind and clouds rose into the sky, and the originally clear sky of Wanyun Mountain was suddenly covered by surging dark clouds. Lightning exploded in the air.
Mo Jie's hair and beard were standing on end, and a powerful aura like that of a god was emanating from his body, with strands of lightning flashing in his palms.
"You don't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is! Today, I will let you see what Shangqing Realm really means!"
Wind and thunder surged in his palms. As Mo Jie gently raised his hand, for a moment the power of the entire world seemed to be revolving around him, and countless lightning bolts in the air slowly descended into his palms.
Such might that could move mountains and seas made countless monks in the audience change color and tremble in fear.
"This... this is the method used by the powerful beings in the Upper Clarity Realm?"
"It is said that the powerful beings in Shangqing Realm have the ability to communicate with heaven and earth and transform the spiritual power of heaven and earth for their own use. It seems that it is really terrifying!"
"What kind of courage did that kid have to challenge the elders of Shangqing Realm in public?"
The wind blew the corners of Chen Yin's clothes fiercely, but his expression remained calm and his mouth corners were slightly raised.
At this moment, a hand behind him gently grabbed his clothes and said anxiously:
"Why are you trying to be a hero?"
Turning back, Yu Xiang's eyes were full of panic: "Go! You can't withstand this attack!"
"That won't do." Chen Yin shook his head. "If I can't handle it, there's no reason for a girl to do it."
"I, I'm different..."
At this moment, Yu Xiang was really anxious. After all, she was a destiny person, and she actually had a life-saving method attached to the system. Although the price was a bit high, she was not completely without a chance to escape.
But the senior brother was like a stubborn piece of wood and insisted on standing in front of her, leaving Yu Xiang at a loss as to what to do for a moment.
