Chapter 1920: Chapter 1916: Bandit Logic (Second Update)
When she walked in, the originally noisy outer hall immediately became much quieter.
Even though they couldn’t enter the main hall, those present here were all notable experts.
Hence, many people recognized Mu Wushuang at a glance.
Facing so many astonished gazes, Mu Wushuang remained expressionless and strode towards the main hall.
As soon as she left, the outer hall erupted in chaos.
"Damn, am I seeing things? How dare the Holy Maiden of the Execution God Temple come here? What is she planning?"
"Heh, can’t you see? She probably heard that Master Xiao is here and wants to rekindle old ties!" someone sneered.
"No way, isn’t it said that Mu Wushuang hates Master Xiao to the core?"
"Pfft, she’s just putting on an act. Don’t be fooled by her icy and pure facade; in reality, she knows well enough that without help, she’d be the first to be eliminated in this Celestial Sect Convention."
"So she’s seeking help from the Master?"
"Exactly! That’s definitely it."
For a while, the entire outer hall buzzed with discussions, but without exception, all the speculations were malicious toward Mu Wushuang.
Meanwhile.
Mu Wushuang had already walked into the main hall.
Upon seeing her pale face, the many prodigies present couldn’t help but put down their wine glasses.
Xiao Tiansha immediately noticed her.
Seeing Mu Wushuang, who outshone even her past self in both charm and beauty, a tinge of greed flashed in Xiao Tiansha’s eyes but was quickly concealed.
After all, Qianhe Fairy Fu Nianzhi was right beside him.
Compared to Mu Wushuang, Fu Nianzhi was much stronger in both background and cultivation level, which was why all the elders of the Profound Ming Tomb unanimously agreed to let him and Fu Nianzhi become Dao partners early on.
At this moment, Fu Nianzhi was smiling radiantly, but despite her smile, her eyes held a cold and eerie glow.
Just then, Mu Wushuang arrived at their table.
Upon getting closer, she immediately saw Xiao Tiansha holding Fu Nianzhi’s hand, her pupils contracted slightly, and then she let out a cold snort.
"Why did you call me over?"
Xiao Tiansha chuckled, "Miss Mu, it’s been a century since we last met, I’m surprised to see you looking even more radiant than before!"
Hearing this, a piercing hatred erupted in Mu Wushuang’s eyes as she gritted her teeth, "Xiao Tiansha, I don’t want to hear this nonsense from you, I just want to know, what exactly do you want?"
"It’s simple. Recently, there have been rumors about the incidents back then. I felt it’s necessary to clarify, especially since I’ve already established a relationship with Miss Nianzhi. These rumors, if continued, would be hurtful to her as well."
"Clarify? Clarify what?" Mu Wushuang was momentarily stunned.
Xiao Tiansha chuckled, "Naturally to clarify that there has never been anything between us. Even that brief fling back then was consensual, no one to blame. Don’t you think?"
Boom!
The entire hall was in an uproar.
Everyone was stunned.
Those present weren’t fools; they all knew what really happened here.
But no one expected Xiao Tiansha to so bluntly state it, and shamelessly deny everything.
Mu Wushuang was even more dumbfounded.
She had considered many possibilities, but never imagined such a scenario.
The very person who had deceived her and stolen her essence was now arrogantly saying it was merely a "consensual fling."
And to "clarify" it publicly to prevent harming his new girlfriend.
It was like a robber who stole your money returning years later to blame your money for his business failure and demanding compensation.
The twisted logic was simply mind-boggling.
Then Mu Wushuang began to tremble.
Not out of agitation, but out of sheer rage.
This rage left her at a loss for words, and she could only stare at Xiao Tiansha with a flushed face.
At this moment, Fu Nianzhi, who was sitting beside, suddenly stood up, walked gracefully to Mu Wushuang, circled her twice, and then laughed.
"You’re indeed quite pretty, no wonder Master Xiao would fancy you back then. But Mu Wushuang..."
Fu Nianzhi spoke softly, her eyes showing a cruel and excited glint.
"If you think sleeping with Master Xiao means something, you’re gravely mistaken. For this Celestial Sect Convention, Master Xiao certainly won’t help you. If you’re smart, you’d leave quietly, otherwise..."
Fu Nianzhi sneered, "I can’t guarantee what might happen during the convention."
Upon hearing Fu Nianzhi’s words, the previously enraged Mu Wushuang suddenly calmed down, her flushed cheeks returned to normal, and she said coldly.
"Are you threatening me?"
Fu Nianzhi shook her head, smiling brightly, "You’re mistaken. This isn’t a threat; I’m just mentioning a small trivial matter."
"After all, in my eyes, you’re nothing more than an ant with some pretty looks!"
The room was so silent one could hear breathing.
Mu Wushuang stared intently at Fu Nianzhi, and suddenly began to laugh, "You say I’m an ant with a few looks, then what are you? A self-proclaimed noble, actually worthless plaything?"
Hearing this, Fu Nianzhi’s expression changed dramatically, and she raised her hand for a slap.
Slap!
Fu Nianzhi’s strength far exceeded Mu Wushuang’s, so the slap made Mu Wushuang stagger back several steps, her cheek swelling and bleeding down the corner of her mouth.
"What are you? Daring to speak to me like this?" Fu Nianzhi’s charming face was full of malice.
Yet Mu Wushuang suddenly laughed, her laughter growing louder, until finally, the desolate laughter filled the entire venue.
"You ask what I am? Then let me tell you, I am the Holy Maiden of the Execution God Temple, and didn’t you say I came to this Celestial Sect Convention hoping to rely on Xiao Tiansha’s strength to win a place? Now I tell you, you’re wrong!"
Mu Wushuang’s eyes shone with unprecedented brilliance, "I am here, not only for revenge, but also to fight for the sect’s number one!"
At her words, the entire place froze momentarily, before many burst into laughter.
Fu Nianzhi sneered repeatedly, "It seems my slap has rattled your brains, for you to utter such nonsense, fighting for sect number one, what an audacious boast! Just for saying that, you deserve another hit!"
With that, Fu Nianzhi stepped forward again, malice on her face, ready to strike again.
But at this moment, a calm voice came from outside the door.
"Miss Mu, you said you’d go stroll around, how did you end up here?"
With the end of that sentence, everyone saw a flash, and then a young man in white appeared before them.
