Chapter 393

“Chapter 393: Shen Xitang vs. Shangguan”

Shangguan Huanling has ascended.

Talk about fast-tracking your cultivation!

Shangguan Huanling halted her charge, her eyes soft as water, unwaveringly staring at Lu Ye.

“Lu Ye Gege, I miss you so much!”

“Do you?”

Lu Ye…

He didn’t even get how Shangguan Huanling had the gall to ask if he missed her!

“How did she get in here?” Lu Ye furrowed his brows, asking.

The Drunken Sword Daoist looked a bit troubled.

This Shangguan Huanling kept calling him Lu Ye Gege, and then there’s Sun Ruowei who just had to remind everyone she was Lu Ye’s master’s niece.

He couldn’t figure out Lu Ye’s attitude toward the two; he couldn’t just kick them out, could he?

Lu Ye figured out the Drunken Sword Daoist’s predicament and said, “After kicking them out this time, don’t let them back into Heavenly Gate.”

“Lu Ye Gege, weren’t you planning to forgive Hongling and Sister Bai? By the timeline, isn’t it time to forgive me too? I only gave you a Seed of Annihilation; it’s not painful or itchy. Plus, I’ve been real good lately and haven’t done anything to make you mad—come on, forgive me!” Shangguan Huanling insisted.

The folks at Heavenly Gate all looked calm and collected, eyes downcast, but their ears were perked up like nobody’s business.

Sun Ruowei pretended to be indifferent.

You two keep debating, we’re just here enjoying the show.

Lu Ye chuckled.

“Just a Seed of Annihilation, huh?”

Shangguan Huanling pondered the other things everyone had thrown at him and nodded confidently.

“Yeah, the Seed of Annihilation isn’t really a big harm to you.”

“Ding, host!”

The System’s voice resonated in his mind.

Lu Ye stayed poker-faced but communicated with the System telepathically.

“What’s up?”

“Ding, I’ve made up my mind. I’m going to battle that idiot Shangguan!”

The System seemed to be bolstered by courage.

Shangguan Huanling’s words had irritated it.

“Aren’t you scared of her?”

“Ding, exactly because I’m scared, I need to confront my fears. I refuse to believe that I, the formidable Shen Xitang, can’t handle a fool!”

Lu Ye initially thought about just punching Shangguan Huanling out of the scene, but the System unexpectedly piped up.

Lu Ye’s expression shifted.

Uh…

Shen Xitang vs. Shangguan Huanling?

Now that’s a plot twist!

Shen Xitang was known for her sharp tongue, always pulling opponents into her logic and striking hard at their weaknesses.

She had an uncanny knack for pinpointing vulnerabilities.

With reckless folks like Yue Hongling, she’d use her charm to counter their aggression, literally driving them up the wall.

For Bai Qiulan, she’d retaliate in kind with their own methods.

Against Zhuque, she’d drag them into the mud instead of letting them stand tall.

But Shangguan Huanling didn’t seem to play that game!

You can bet this is going to pose a massive challenge for Shen Xitang.

Lu Ye was all for it, eagerly watching!

“Well, go ahead!”

Lu Ye couldn’t wait any longer.

“Ding, get everyone else out!”

Shen Xitang said, her tone heavy.

This was bound to be a brutal showdown; she couldn’t let her authority slip.

Lu Ye chuckled to himself.

“Everyone, please step outside. Shangguan Huanling, stay. I need to have a word with you!”

The Heavenly Gate folks were almost holding their breath, wishing to be invisible, but they were still shooed out…

Really didn’t want to leave…

“Out!”

Lu Ye’s voice weighed heavier.

The crowd jolted and had no choice but to vacate.

Lin Chuyue, looking serious, walked to Lu Ye’s side, “I worry she might attack you, so I’m here to ensure your safety!”

Lu Ye…

“Get lost!”

Lin Chuyue sighed, “Please, can I just be here like a ghost? I genuinely want to listen!”

Lu Ye raised his hand.

“Fine, fine, don’t hit me, I’m leaving!”

Lin Chuyue left in a huff, her frustration almost palpable, enough to resurrect a dozen Evil Sword Immortals.

Lu Ye’s gaze finally landed on Sun Ruowei.

Sun Ruowei’s lips moved.

“Well, I’m staying here to protect Huanling’s safety. Just in case you have any ulterior motives…”

“Oh come on, Sun Shishu, if Lu Ye Gege wanted me, he wouldn’t call it ulterior motives, right? It’d be mutual love!”

Lu Ye…

Sun Ruowei…

“Then I’ll stay here since Lu Ye is my junior. I’ll be worried if you have any shady plans against him…”

“Shishu, just go already! I can already guess what Lu Ye Gege is wanting to do. Please hurry out!”

Shangguan Huanling was impatiently pushing Sun Ruowei away.

Lu Ye was a bit taken aback.

She could figure out his intentions?

No way!

“Stop pushing, I can walk myself!”

This is so annoying!

Sun Ruowei took a deep breath, her figure instantly transforming into mist and vanishing.

Lu Ye…

He gently waved his hand, and a scream echoed as the Great Hall’s door opened and closed, with Sun Ruowei promptly booted out.

Now, the Great Hall was utterly empty.

But you could see a mass of people pressed against the door, eavesdropping for any snippet of conversation.

However, with a soundproof barrier, those inside were cut off completely.

Shangguan Huanling flashed a radiant smile.

She loosened her belt, the warrior dress fluttering open to reveal her inner armor, and she continued her movements.

She was about to take off the inner armor.

She’s even already shown her smooth shoulder.

Lu Ye’s eyelids twitched, and he quickly shouted, “What are you doing?”

Shangguan Huanling’s voice was filled with nonchalance, her smile saying “I know what you want.”

“Lu Ye Gege probably hasn’t done this since his rebirth. I know Lu Ye Gege well. First, I’ll help you deal with that internal fire, then you can do whatever you like, how about that?”

Shangguan Huanling approached Lu Ye, undressing as she went.

Lu Ye took a deep breath, feeling a headache coming on.

This girl completely missed the point.

She thought Lu Ye kicked everyone out just to have some unspeakable affair with her?

Shen Xitang couldn’t hold back any longer, her figure instantly materializing.

“Stop right there!”

Shangguan Huanling paused, looking at Shen Xitang with a hint of awe.

So beautiful!

This was the first time she had seen Shen Xitang, though she’d heard murmurs about how stunning the woman next to Lu Ye was.

Seeing it firsthand, indeed, not just Lu Ye—Shangguan Huanling liked her too.

She froze for a moment.

Shen Xitang’s expression became somewhat conflicted and unsightly.

Shen Xitang then burst into laughter, hmpf, that fool wasn’t so scary after all!

Guess she was dazzled by her stunning beauty, huh?

Turns out, she was still the strongest!

“Well then, Lu Ye Gege, initially I wanted you to cherish me since this is my first rebirth, but since this lovely sister also wishes to join, we can serve you together!”
