Chapter 2008
“Chu Tianfan, how dare you...”
“You're getting out of line!”
The elders all let out a low growl of anger at Ye Fan, furious that Ye Fan made them do something so humiliating. We've never even knelt before Ms. Junie, and now we have to do it to him?
To them, there was nothing more shameful than getting on their knees for an outsider.
“I'm getting out of line? What about you? How dare you lay a finger on Junie!” retorted Ye Fan without a second thought.
“That's nonsense! Ms. Junie is only getting punished because she violated our rules. We have every reason to give our Master her due.”
“Not only did you step out of line when you interrupted us, but now you wish to twist the truth as well?”
“If word of your actions ever gets out, the world will know how arrogant and unreasonable you are! I think they'd agree with us that we're the ones getting bullied.”
Even though the elders were forced into a position of humility, they remained defiant.
“What a joke! Do you think this is me bullying you? Why would I do that when I can kill you all without breaking a sweat? The only reason you're still alive is that I'm determined to unmask you hypocrites!
“You gather in large numbers to deliberately put Junie in a difficult position so that you can punish and humiliate her in front of all your sect members. You said that you were only doing this because she violated your rules, but I know you only wanted to undermine her just so you could take full control of Elysian Hall. You're all just a bunch of scheming old snakes who claimed to be upholding your rules. Do
you think you can fool me with your false sense of justice? You people have no shame!” explained Ye Fan while staring coldly at the elders.
He gave the elders no quarter and outright exposed them, shining a light on the truth.
Since the previous head of Elysian Hall had appointed Junie, her position was basically indisputable.
However, none of the elders liked the idea of a weak woman leading the sect, so they had been plotting on manipulating her as their puppet.
Junie's mistake was minor and only warranted punishment in private, but the elders deliberately made a big deal out of it by gathering everyone in the sect to observe the thrashing.
Their only intention was to undermine Junie and make themselves look good by pretending to be strict but fair.
If the elders managed to pull off the punishment in front of all the sect members, it would not be long before they got what they wanted.
Nobody had any idea that the elders were such a devious lot, except for Ye Fan. Having dealt with all kinds of people for the past decade, the man had learned to tell if others had ulterior motives.
After being exposed like that, the hypocritical elders immediately fell dead silent.
Feeling the weight of their guilt, the elders kept their heads and dared not to utter another word.
“Did you really think that Junie was all alone, and she had nobody to protect her? Then let me remind you that she still has the entire Dragon God Hall and me backing her. You will all pay for trying to take advantage of somebody who belongs with me!” Ye Fan's roar was so fierce that it immediately turned everyone's face pale as a sheet.
Petrified, the elders widened their eyes at Ye Fan in shock, for none of them thought that the man would be reckless enough to kill them. How can he be so unsparing! After all, we're like brothers to Junie. “Junie, please! You have to save us!”
At that moment, Ye Fan had already summoned his infinite energy and condensed it into several Qi blades.
The aura emanating from the man was so intense and fearsome that none even dared to take him on.
Hence, the elders had no choice but to put their hope on the woman hiding behind Ye Fan.
“Junie, we're like family, are we not? Are you really going to just let him kill us? If we die, Elysian Hall will be doomed!”
“It wasn't personal. We were just trying to do what was best for the sect. Please! For the sake of ancestors, save us!” Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
The elders were so terrified that they almost peed their pants, for they knew the man ranked number one on the Sky Ranking was ready to unleash his wrath.
Ye Fan could kill a Supreme whenever he wanted to, much less the elders, whose strongest was merely a Grandmaster.
If any of them decided to take Ye Fan head-on, they would be obliterated.
Seeing how pitiable the elders were, Junie eventually caved and so stepped forward to pull at Ye Fan's shirt.
Some could communicate without saying a word. All they needed to do was take one look, and they would know exactly what the other person was thinking.
That was the case between Ye Fan and Junie. The man only had to take one look at Junie before he let out a sigh.
“They're nobody. Why does it matter if they live or not?”
To Ye Fan, the elders were less than insects.
Except for the fine woman before him, Ye Fan never cared about anyone in Elysian Hall.
“Ye Fan, please just give them another chance. They only did what they did because they had the sect's best interests at heart.” Junie knew the elders did not mean to harm her and that they were just unhappy to have a young woman like her lead the sect.
“Gosh, what am I going to do with you? Fine. I'll listen to you and spare these dogs their lives.” Finally, Ye Fan was persuaded to spare the men.
He continued, “But let me make myself clear. I'm only letting you live because of Junie. If I ever find out that you're getting any ideas again, nobody will be able to stop me from wiping you all from the face of the earth! Do you understand?” His threat caused the elders to shake in their boots.
Relieved that Ye Fan had changed his mind about killing them, the elders immediately promised that they would not bully Junie ever again.
“Well? What are you lot still standing there for?”
With a wave of his arm, Ye Fan sent a burst of Qi in the elders' way and swept them off their feet.
Still, they dared not to say anything to offend the man. Instead, they hurriedly got back on their feet and took off, especially the Master of Punishment and his fellow elders.
What was supposed to be an empowering moment for them ended up being a humiliating one.
“This is a miscalculation on our part. Who would've thought that Junie would be someone so important to Chu Tianfan!”
The elders never expected Ye Fan to care about Junie so much since he, ranked number one on the Sky Ranking, could have had anyone he wanted. Doesn't he have a thing going on with the Moon God, so why would he care about Junie? There are many women out there who are way more desirable than her.
At first, the elders thought Junie was nothing but a side chick to Ye Fan, but they were proven wrong in the end. There's definitely something going on between Chu Tianfan and Junie, something we don't know about.
“Can't you be a little bit more considerate? How am I supposed to react when you put me in such an awkward position?” After seeing how Ye Fan chased away her sect members like dogs, Junie furrowed her eyebrows tightly.
To her, it felt like the man thought of Elysian Hall as nothing more than a horde of lowlifes that he could do whatever he wanted.
“They're just a bunch of snakes. What? Do you expect me to treat them like royalties? I can tell you that there's not a lot in this world who can claim to have topped me,” stated Ye Fan with a smirk. The truth was he despised everyone in Elysian Hall except for Junie.
“What about me then? Do you think I can be on top of you?” Junie gazed at Ye Fan with her gorgeous pair of eyes and flirted with the man.
She had facial features so exquisite that they could put the moon and stars to shame.
