Chapter 377: Exposed

On the third day.

A similar situation happened again, but Li Xiang seemed to be a little numb. Without much hesitation, she called out for her father, giving the bystanders behind the screen a big fright.

Seeing that the arrogant eldest Senior Sister had sacrificed so much, ordinary disciples like them naturally had nothing to worry about.

“Let’s keep this between us. Don’t ever let word about this get out. Also, don’t let anyone know about the scene we saw today, understand?”

When the female disciple was about to leave, Chen Chen repeatedly reminded her.

The female disciple repeatedly agreed. If word about this were to get out, she would be ashamed of herself.

“Senior Brother Chen, don’t worry. I will definitely keep this secret well.”

Chen Chen nodded with a smile, as if he only agreed to her request because he was on good terms with her.

After half a month.

The number of female disciples who mysteriously sold themselves to Chen Chen had already reached as many as twenty. The key point was that these twenty female disciples did not know each other and thought that only he, eldest Senior Sister, and Chen Chen had made a bet.

When Chen Chen walked in the Li Xian Sect, there would be people looking at him in awe from time to time, which made him feel very comfortable.

These female disciples had already fallen into his trap. He still had to brainwash them and instill some special thoughts into them. This way, they might be of great use in the future.

Of course, the ones he fooled were all naive female disciples. He did not dare to make a move on Chu Yun, who was quite smart.

..

“Chen Chen, I have recovered from the shock. Why am I still unable to break through?”

When Chen Chen returned to his residence, Li Xiang had already barged into the room. Her face was covered with unhappiness.

When Chen Chen saw this, he asked, “Did I not give you enough of a shock?”

Li Xiang’s pupils constricted slightly. Her body involuntarily shivered. Then, she smiled bitterly and said, “I don’t know either.”

Chen Chen sat on the chair and said with a mirthless smile, “Perhaps you know my character and know that I can not harbor malicious intentions, so the shock that you received was naturally much smaller.

On the other hand, Chu Yun is not as smart as you. She thought that I would really do something to her, so she had an epiphany.”

When Li Xiang heard this, a trace of surprise appeared in her eyes. She asked in surprise, “You mean that the reason I can’t break through is because I’m too smart?”

Chen Chen nodded slightly with a face full of regret.

Li Xiang had a complicated expression when she saw this. Although she was unwilling to admit it, she was still a little happy when someone said that she was smarter than Chu Yun.

“Then what should I do? I’m naturally smart. I can’t possibly make myself stupid, right?”

Li Xiang was in a dilemma.

“You’re smart my ass! You’re just too stupid!” Chen Chen cursed silently in his heart, but his expression did not change.

This woman was indeed lacking in blows, and ordinary blows did not seem to have any effect on this woman. It was not because this woman was smart, but because she was thick-skinned.

In fact, his heart was eager for this woman to break through. This way, the twenty-odd female cultivators who had been tricked by him would have even more faith in him.

“Let’s wait for a while more. There might be a turn for the better.”

Chen Chen comforted her.

Li Xiang could only nod her head when she heard this and turned around to leave.

Once she left, Chen Chen began to operate. It did not take long before he issued more than twenty orders.

..

Outside, Li Xiang had just left Chen Chen’s residence when she met a female disciple. This female disciple was responsible for the daily distribution of cultivation resources in the sect. Her status in the sect was extremely high, second only to her and Chu Yun.

“Greetings, Second Senior Sister.”

After the female disciple saw Li Xiang, she bowed and left.

Hearing the words “Second Senior Sister”, Li Xiang felt as if she had been struck by lightning!

Second Senior Sister!

She was clearly the eldest Senior Sister! How did she suddenly become the second Senior Sister?

Just when she wanted to ask for an explanation, the female disciple had already disappeared.

The corners of Li Xiang’s eyes twitched, and anger gradually rose in her heart.

However, before she could vent her anger, another female disciple walked over.

“Greetings, Second Senior Sister.”

This time, she did not wait for the female disciple to leave and asked coldly, “What did you call me?”

“Second Senior Sister?” The female disciple said matter-of-factly.

“Who told you to call me that?” The anger in Li Xiang’s heart was on the verge of exploding, and her eyes were faintly flickering with fire.

“No one did… in the sect, if the disciple doesn’t have the highest cultivation, then who is the eldest Senior Sister?”

The female disciple explained, and then looked at Li Xiang as if she was a lunatic.

Li Xiang was extremely angry when she heard this, but she couldn’t refute it. She suddenly felt uncomfortable.

“Second Senior Sister, I still have things to deal with. Goodbye!”

The female disciple casually said this and left.

Li Xiang only felt sorrow in her heart. Her cultivation had only been surpassed for less than a month, but the other disciples had already changed the way they addressed her. These people were too powerful.

In comparison, they were inferior to Chen Chen.

Chen Chen also knew that the reason why she couldn’t break through was because she was too smart.

“No, I still have to play more of that Heavenly Dao Chess!”

Li Xiang’s eyes flickered, and she stomped her feet to find a few Junior Sisters who were familiar with her.

Ever since Chu Yun broke through, she had never rested. She played chess during the day and cultivated bitterly at night. These days continued until today.

..

When she arrived at the courtyard, the sounds of several Junior Sisters playing chess could be heard from inside.

“I can’t afford it!”

“Sigh, I lost.”

“Your luck today is really good.”

“Nonsense, I’m relying on my skills!”

Up to this point, it was still considered normal. However, the next sentence began to take a turn.

“Junior Sister, I’ll tell you something secretly. You must not spread it out. There aren’t more than three people in the entire Li Xian Sect who know about this!”

“Senior Sister, what is it? Don’t keep me in suspense.”

“Give me back the five supreme-grade Spirit Stones I lost just now, and I’ll tell you.”

Hearing this conversation, Li Xiang held her breath. Her cultivation base was far higher than the female disciples inside. If she wanted to hide her tracks, the female disciples inside wouldn’t be able to detect her at all.

“Okay, five supreme-grade Spirit Stones. Here, tell me.”

“You might not believe me if I tell you, but I heard big… uh, no, I should call her second Senior Sister now. I heard Second Senior Sister calling Chen Chen father. Hehehe! She was such a proud person, but I didn’t expect her to be so shameless.”

A delicate laugh came from inside, and then the air suddenly became quiet, followed by some echoing laughter.

“Is that so? There’s actually such a thing?”

“Hahahaha…”

“Why don’t you guys seem surprised?” The female disciple who exposed the news felt a little strange.

“How can we not be surprised? We’re very surprised, okay?”

…

Li Xiang couldn’t listen to the rest of the words. At this moment, she was no longer as if she had been struck by lightning..

After all, even a lightning strike was nothing to a cultivator like her.

At this moment, her brain was a mess. If she had to describe it, it was equivalent to being hit by the strongest strike of an avatar state expert. She was completely stunned.

‘Aren’t Chen Chen and I the only ones who are aware of this? Why would the female disciple inside know? Why would this happen?’

‘It must be Chen Chen! It’s definitely his doing! There’s no one else but him!’

At this thought, Li Xiang’s eyes instantly turned red, and the aura on her body burst out uncontrollably.

“Chen Chen! You bastard! I’m going to kill you!”

With an angry shout, Li Xiang directly burst into tears.

The heavens pitied her. She had been on the path of cultivation for decades, but she had never shed tears.

“I must kill you!”

The more Li Xiang thought about it, the angrier she got, and the more she felt wronged. She wiped her tears, turned into a stream of light, and flew toward Chen Chen’s residence.
