Chapter 230

Chapter 230: Master, do you recognize this bet or not!

At the peak of Yuanwu Mountain, inside the Yuanwu Great Hall.

Xiao Yang actually called his own master a hypocrite.

The crowd was shocked.

Countless martial artists watching through the splendid light-shadow technique were completely dumbfounded.

The atmosphere in the hall was incredibly tense.

The nine sect leaders in the hall turned to look at Jiang Qitian, who was seated on the first throne.

Xiao Yang was Jiang Qitian’s top disciple; why would he say such a thing in front of all martial artists?

Jiang Ting was also bewildered.

“Senior Brother, why would you say that about my dad?” Jiang Ting exclaimed angrily.

“Senior Brother, in the entire Northern Region, who doesn’t know our Master’s unmatched benevolence?” Qin Fei stepped forward and declared loudly.

“Yeah, true!”

“Jiang Sect Leader is known for his righteousness and is recognized as a gentleman.”

Many nodded in agreement.

Jiang Qitian sat upright on the throne, his expression serious as he listened to the praise.

“Ha ha, alright, since Master is a recognized gentleman, why not acknowledge the bet with your disciple?” Xiao Yang looked coldly at Jiang Qitian on the throne.

“Bet? What bet?” Many people were curious.

“Rebellious disciple, do you know what the consequences of bringing out the bet are? I wouldn’t want to see you fall into a bottomless pit!” Jiang Qitian said, heartbroken.

Xiao Yang felt anger bubbling inside him.

So you, Jiang Qitian, are trying to keep me in Qingyang Sword Sect for my own good?

What a joke!

Jiang Qitian can pretend to be benevolent in front of the world, and he can continue to deceive everyone.

But Jiang Qitian wanting to trap him in the Qingyang Sword Sect? Absolutely not.

In this lifetime, he was determined to leave the Qingyang Sword Sect.

In this lifetime, he was determined to sever ties with the Qingyang Sword Sect.

In this lifetime, do you, Jiang Qitian, expect me to foolishly serve you?

In this lifetime, you, Jiang Qitian, want to use me as a pawn?

Dream on!

“Turns out Jiang Sect Leader is protecting his disciple!”

“I knew it; Jiang Sect Leader is unparalleled in virtue, how could he be a hypocrite?”

The crowd chimed in.

Xiao Yang looked at Jiang Qitian on the throne, truly admiring his master.

He had managed to play everyone like a fiddle.

He really was something.

However, Xiao Yang was not intimidated by Jiang Qitian.

He directly took out the bet they had made in the Qingyang Great Hall on that day.

“Master, on that day, you and I made a bet. It clearly stated that as long as I, Xiao Yang, became the champion in the Jiazi competition, I could leave the Qingyang Sword Sect and our master-disciple bond would be severed.”

“Do you recognize this bet or not?” Xiao Yang said loudly while unfolding the bet in his hands.

“Rebellious disciple, you…” Jiang Qitian suddenly stood up from the throne, staring intently at Xiao Yang.

He never thought Xiao Yang would bring out the bet in front of the vast audience of Northern Region martial artists.

At this moment, the bet held by Xiao Yang was clearly displayed in front of all the important figures in the hall.

The nine sect leaders were stunned.

The talented disciples from the nine sects were bewildered.

Xiao Yang had made such a bet with Jiang Qitian?

Xiao Yang actually wanted to leave the Qingyang Sword Sect and sever all ties with Jiang Qitian.

At the peak of Yuanwu Mountain, in the square, countless martial artists from the Northern Region stared blankly at the scene on the screen depicting Xiao Yang.

In front of the Yuanwu Mountain gate, the martial artists gathered here fell silent.

No one expected Xiao Yang not only refused to marry Jiang Ting, but also wanted to leave the Qingyang Sword Sect.

What on earth had happened!

“Senior Brother, why do you want to leave the sect, why do you want to leave me? Are you still angry with me? I promise you, I’ll keep my distance from the junior brother from now on. I won’t make you sad anymore.” Jiang Ting looked at Xiao Yang, heartbroken.

At that moment, she realized Xiao Yang had no intention of teasing her; he was serious—he really didn’t like her and wanted to leave.

She now understood Xiao Yang had long prepared to depart.

“Junior Sister…” Qin Fei looked sadly at Jiang Ting.

“Shut up!” Jiang Ting yelled at Qin Fei.

“Junior Sister, you’ve never yelled at me before…” Qin Fei felt even sadder.

“Senior Brother, you must believe me…” Jiang Ting ignored Qin Fei.

Qin Fei was both shocked and enraged.

Xiao Yang coldly stared at Jiang Ting.

In his past life, he had trusted Jiang Ting too much, which led him to forgive her repeatedly and be her devoted admirer.

As a result, she held him in even lower regard and became increasingly brazen in her actions with Qin Fei.

In his past life, when Jiang Ting first stayed overnight at Qin Fei’s place, they had a huge argument.

Jiang Ting justified it by saying she stayed to care for Qin Fei after he nearly fell into a demonic state while practicing, claiming nothing inappropriate happened.

In the end, she promised it wouldn’t happen again.

But soon after, she stayed over again.

Her promises had never meant a thing.

In his past life, such incidents occurred countless times.

Whenever Qin Fei had a problem, Jiang Ting would rush to his side.

All of her promises to Xiao Yang went unfulfilled.

So, Jiang Ting, in this life, I, Xiao Yang, won’t believe your nonsense again.

“Master, do you recognize this bet or not!” Xiao Yang shouted at Jiang Qitian on the throne.

Jiang Ting and Qin Fei were caught in a tug-of-war, but that had nothing to do with him.

Right now, the only thing he wanted to do was leave the Qingyang Sword Sect and sever ties with Jiang Qitian completely.

He had already earned the championship for the Qingyang Sword Sect in the Jiazi competition, successfully putting the sect on top as the first sect in the Northern Region, enabling it to move into the Yuanwu Immortal Domain.

He had also repaid Jiang Qitian and the entire Qingyang Sword Sect’s kindness.

From now on, he had no more dealings with the Qingyang Sword Sect.

Xiao Yang was blatantly challenging Jiang Qitian in front of everyone.

At this moment, before the Yuanwu Mountain gate.

Xiao Zhenshan was completely stunned.

He never dreamt that his rebellious son not only refused to marry Jiang Ting but also wanted to leave the Qingyang Sword Sect and sever all ties with it?

“What is my big brother doing?” Xiao Yue looked at Xiao Yang on the screen, her face drained of color.

“Yang’er…” Chen Ruolan was so furious she nearly fainted.

“Mother, what’s wrong?” Xiao Yue quickly protected Chen Ruolan.

To the Xiao family, the Xiao Yang in the hall genuinely appeared to have lost his mind.

Otherwise, how could he dare to do something so insane?

Xiao Yang was directly throwing the bet in Jiang Qitian’s face!

What would Jiang Qitian do in front of the countless martial artists of the Northern Region?

Everyone was anxious, watching the scene on the screen.

“I’m going to die from this rebellious son; if he leaves the Qingyang Sword Sect, I’ll disown him!” Xiao Zhenshan fumed.

“I won’t acknowledge this big brother anymore.” Xiao Yue gritted her teeth.

“I have no such son!” Chen Ruolan clutched her chest, gasping for breath.

Meanwhile, countless martial artists were speculating why Xiao Yang wanted to leave the Qingyang Sword Sect.

They were all prepared to leave the Yuanwu Forbidden Domain, and who would have thought Xiao Yang would serve them a super bombshell before they left.

Even people from the Fuyiao Sword Sect and the Guiyuan Martial Sect stayed to watch the show.

“Xiao Yang…”

In front of the mountain gate, Li Xingyao looked at Xiao Yang on the screen, her expression complicated.

Losing to Xiao Yang was something she could accept.

However, now that Xiao Yang had become a cripple, she could no longer challenge him to a duel.

That meant she would never have the chance to defeat Xiao Yang again.

For her, that was undoubtedly a significant regret in life.

And at this moment, Xiao Yang actually wanted to sever ties with the Qingyang Sword Sect.

Li Xingyao genuinely couldn’t understand.

After all, without the protection of the Qingyang Sword Sect, Xiao Yang wouldn’t survive in the cultivation world.

Let’s not forget, the assassins from the Smoke Rain Tower were after him.

How would a crippled Xiao Yang stand against those assassins?

Right now, even those high-ranking assassins could easily take down a defenseless Xiao Yang.

“What a pity…” Li Xingyao sighed.

“Rebellious disciple, have you thought this through? If you leave the Qingyang Sword Sect, you will be nothing. The sect cannot protect you anymore; your life and death will have nothing to do with me.” Jiang Qitian said to Xiao Yang in a deep voice.

“My life and death, you needn’t worry about, Sect Leader Jiang.” Xiao Yang replied indifferently.

“Our Qingyang Sword Sect is now the top sect in the Northern Region; leaving us would be your loss. If you tear up the bet in your hands, I’ll pretend nothing happened, and you can stay in the sect. I will also find a way to help you restore your dantian so you can cultivate again. How about it?” Jiang Qitian said coldly.

“Senior Brother, please agree with Dad quickly.” Jiang Ting urged anxiously.

She didn’t want Xiao Yang to leave her.

“Restore my dantian? Sect Leader Jiang, save your jokes. Today, no matter what, I must leave the Qingyang Sword Sect. I want to sever ties with you; our master-disciple relationship ends here!” Xiao Yang declared emphatically.

“This…” The crowd was taken aback.

“Fine, fine, fine! You rebellious disciple, since that’s how it is, I will no longer care about your fate. Once you leave the Qingyang Sword Sect, let’s see how you survive!” Jiang Qitian shouted angrily.

“Dad, don’t!” Jiang Ting’s eyes turned red with anxiety.

“Senior Brother, why are you so heartless towards Junior Sister?” Qin Fei feigned innocence.

“Pfft! I’m leaving; wouldn’t that be just what you want?” Xiao Yang scoffed at Qin Fei.

“What do you mean by that, Senior Brother?” Qin Fei raised an eyebrow, coldly.

“Qin Fei, stop playing dumb! Haven’t you been stirring up trouble between me and the junior sister? Well done, you succeeded. I’m sorry for you, though, you’re a eunuch; even if you like the junior sister, you can only remain as sisters.” Xiao Yang said coldly.

“You…” Qin Fei never expected Xiao Yang would call him a eunuch in front of all the martial artists of the Northern Region.

This meant everyone would know his secret!

Qin Fei was fuming at this point.

“Master, please honor the bet!” Xiao Yang held the bet with both hands and shouted at Jiang Qitian on the throne.
