Chapter 231: You, Jiang Ting, I Don’t Want You Either!

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

Xiao Yang unexpectedly announced that his own master was a hypocrite.

The entire hall was in shock.

Countless martial practitioners watching this unfold through the light-show technique were equally perplexed.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was extremely oppressive.

The nine sect leaders present all turned to look at Jiang Qitian, who sat on the first throne.

Xiao Yang was Jiang Qitian’s top disciple—why would he declare in front of all martial practitioners that his master was a hypocrite?

Jiang Ting was bewildered as well.

“Senior Brother, why would you say this about my dad!”

Jiang Ting exclaimed angrily.

“Senior Brother, who in the Northern Region doesn’t know that our master is the epitome of benevolence and righteousness?”

Qin Fei stepped forward and shouted.

“Uh, right!”

“Jiang Sect Leader is universally recognized as a gentleman.”

Many people nodded in agreement within the hall.

Jiang Qitian sat firmly on the throne, listening to the affirmation of his peers with a stern expression.

“Haha, fine, if the master is indeed a universally recognized gentleman, then why not acknowledge the bet made with his disciple?”

Xiao Yang looked coldly at Jiang Qitian sitting on the throne.

“Bet? What bet?”

Many were curious.

“Rebellious disciple, do you know what the consequences of bringing up the bet are? I would hate to see you fall into an irreversible abyss!”

Jiang Qitian said, heartbroken.

Xiao Yang, however, was enraged.

So you, Jiang Qitian, keeping me trapped in the Qingyang Sword Sect was for my own good? What a joke!

Jiang Qitian pretending to be benevolent in front of the world was one thing;

but trying to confine him to the Qingyang Sword Sect? Absolutely not.

This time, he was determined to leave the Qingyang Sword Sect no matter what.

This time, he was definitely cutting all ties with the Qingyang Sword Sect.

You think I would continue to serve you like a fool, Jiang Qitian? Dream on!

“So it turns out Jiang Sect Leader is trying to protect his disciple!”

“I said it; Jiang Sect Leader is without a doubt benevolent, he can’t possibly be a hypocrite!”

People started chiming in one after another.

Xiao Yang glanced at Jiang Qitian on the throne, genuinely impressed by his master.

He managed to manipulate everyone so skillfully.

He was truly remarkable.

However, Xiao Yang was not intimidated by Jiang Qitian’s words.

He directly pulled out the bet agreement that he had established with Jiang Qitian in the Qingyang Great Hall on that day.

“Master, that day you and I established a bet; it’s clearly stated that as long as I, Xiao Yang, win the championship in the Jiazi Competition, I can leave the Qingyang Sword Sect, and our master-disciple bond would be nullified.”

“Do you recognize this bet or not?”

Xiao Yang declared loudly while unfolding the agreement in his hands.

“Rebellious disciple, you…”

Jiang Qitian abruptly stood up from the throne, staring fixedly at Xiao Yang.

He could never have imagined Xiao Yang would bring up the bet in front of countless martial practitioners from the Northern Region.

At this moment, the bet agreement was clearly displayed in front of all the important figures in the hall.

The nine sect leaders were stunned.

Those talented disciples from the nine sects were dumbfounded.

Xiao Yang actually made such a bet with Jiang Qitian.

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

At the peak of Yuanwu Mountain, countless martial practitioners in the square all stared blankly at Xiao Yang on the glowing screen.

In front of the Yuanwu Mountain gate, the myriad martial practitioners gathered there fell silent.

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

What on earth happened?

“Senior Brother, why do you want to leave the sect? Why do you want to leave me? Are you still mad at me? I promise you, from now on, I’ll keep my distance from the junior disciple, and I won’t make you sad again.”

Jiang Ting gazed at Xiao Yang with despair.

At this moment, she finally realized that Xiao Yang had no intention of playing hard to get; he was serious—he truly didn’t like her and wanted to leave.

She finally understood that Xiao Yang had already planned his departure.

“Junior Sister…”

Qin Fei looked at Jiang Ting, his face filled with sadness.

“I told you to shut up!”

Jiang Ting yelled at Qin Fei.

“Junior Sister, you’ve never yelled at me before…”

Qin Fei felt even more heartbroken.

“Senior Brother, you have to believe me…”

Jiang Ting ignored Qin Fei.

At this moment, Qin Fei was both shocked and angry.

Xiao Yang coldly stared at Jiang Ting.

In the previous life, he had trusted Jiang Ting too much, forgiving her time and again and catering to her whims, playing the devoted dog.

This led Jiang Ting to underestimate him, pushing her boundaries even further with Qin Fei.

In his previous life, when Jiang Ting first stayed over at Qin Fei’s, they had a huge fight.

Jiang Ting defended herself, saying she was only taking care of Qin Fei after he almost fell into a state of madness while training, that nothing improper happened between them.

Ultimately, she guaranteed it would never happen again.

But soon after, she stayed over at Qin Fei’s again.

Every promise she made to him had never counted.

This kind of thing happened countless times in his previous life.

Whenever Qin Fei had any issues, Jiang Ting would rush to his side first.

All her assurances to Xiao Yang never meant anything.

So Jiang Ting, after living through this life, I, Xiao Yang, won’t believe your lies anymore.

“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 this had nothing to do with him.

What he wanted to do now was to leave the Qingyang Sword Sect and sever all ties with Jiang Qitian.

He had earned the first place for the Qingyang Sword Sect in the Jiazi Competition, successfully placing it atop the Northern Region’s sects, allowing the sect to enter the Yuanwu Immortal Domain.

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

From this point on, he had nothing to do with the Qingyang Sword Sect.

Xiao Yang was openly challenging Jiang Qitian before everyone.

At the gate of Yuanwu Mountain.

Xiao Zhenshan was completely dumbfounded.

He never could have dreamed that Xiao Yang, this rebellious son, not only refused to marry Jiang Ting but also wanted to leave the Qingyang Sword Sect and sever all ties!

“What the hell is wrong with my brother!”

Xiao Yue looked at Xiao Yang on the glowing screen, her face pale with fear.

“Yang’er, he…”

Chen Ruolan nearly gasped, feeling faint at the scene.

“Mom, what’s wrong?”

Xiao Yue hurriedly supported Chen Ruolan.

To the members of the Xiao family, Xiao Yang in the hall looked utterly insane.

How could he dare to do such a reckless thing?

Xiao Yang directly pulled out the bet agreement and shoved it in Jiang Qitian’s face!

What would Jiang Qitian do in front of all the martial practitioners in the Northern Region?

Everyone anxiously watched the scene playing out on the glowing screen.

“I’m going to die from anger! If he leaves the Qingyang Sword Sect, I’ll sever all father-son ties with him!”

Xiao Zhenshan seethed with rage.

“I won’t recognize this brother anymore.”

Xiao Yue gritted her teeth.

“I have no such son!”

Chen Ruolan patted her chest, struggling for breath.

At this moment, countless martial practitioners speculated why Xiao Yang wanted to leave the Qingyang Sword Sect.

They were all prepared to retreat from the Yuanwu Forbidden Zone. Who knew before leaving, Xiao Yang would throw them a massive bombshell.

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

“Xiao Yang…”

Li Xingyao looked at Xiao Yang on the glowing screen, her expression somewhat complicated.

After losing to Xiao Yang, she accepted it wholeheartedly.

But now that Xiao Yang had become a waste, she would no longer have the chance to challenge him.

This meant she would never have the opportunity to defeat Xiao Yang.

To her, this was undoubtedly a great regret in life.

And now, Xiao Yang was actually severing ties with the Qingyang Sword Sect.

Li Xingyao truly couldn’t understand.

After all, without the protection of the Qingyang Sword Sect, Xiao Yang would definitely not survive in the cultivation world.

Bear in mind, Xiao Yang was a target for the assassins from the Smoke Rain Tower.

As a waste, how could he stand against those killers?

At this point, not to mention the top-tier assassins, even ordinary ones could easily take down the defenseless Xiao Yang.

“What a waste…”

Li Xingyao sighed.

“Rebellious disciple, have you thought this through? If you leave the Qingyang Sword Sect, you will become nothing. My Qingyang Sword Sect will no longer protect you; your life and death will have nothing to do with me.”

Jiang Qitian stared at Xiao Yang solemnly.

“I won’t troubleSect Leader Jiang regarding my life and death.”

Xiao Yang responded calmly.

“My Qingyang Sword Sect is now the number one sect in the Northern Region. Leaving the Qingyang Sword Sect is your loss. If you tear up the bet agreement, I will treat this as if nothing happened. You can continue to stay in the sect, and I will find a way to help you repair your meridians so you can cultivate again, how about that?”

Jiang Qitian said sternly.

“Senior Brother, you should just agree with Dad.”

Jiang Ting urged anxiously.

She didn’t want Xiao Yang to leave her.

“Repair my meridians? Sect Leader Jiang, spare me the jokes. Today, no matter what, I will leave the Qingyang Sword Sect. I will sever all ties with you. As for our master-disciple relationship—it’s over!”

Xiao Yang stated resolutely.

“This…”

The crowd was dumbfounded upon hearing this.

“Alright, alright, you rebellious disciple! Since that’s how it is, I will no longer concern myself with your fate. After leaving my Qingyang Sword Sect, let’s see how you survive!”

Jiang Qitian fumed.

“Dad, don’t!”

Jiang Ting’s eyes turned red with urgency.

“Senior Brother, why are you so cruel to leave the junior sister?”

Qin Fei pretended to be sympathetic.

“Please, I’m leaving; isn’t that what you wanted?”

Xiao Yang sneered at Qin Fei.

“What do you mean by that, Senior Brother?”

Qin Fei raised an eyebrow, coldly demanding an explanation.

“Qin Fei, stop pretending; haven’t you always been trying to stir things up between me and the junior sister? You’ve succeeded, and you’re happy, but too bad for you—a eunuch can only be a sister to the junior sister.”

Xiao Yang shot back coldly.

“You…”

Qin Fei never expected Xiao Yang would openly call him a eunuch in front of all the martial practitioners in the Northern Region.

Now everyone would know his secret!

The mere thought made Qin Fei explode in anger.

“I request my master to fulfill the bet!”

Xiao Yang held the bet agreement with both hands and loudly declared to Jiang Qitian on the throne.
