A Family of Hopeless Romantics, Except for the Evil Little Junior Brother-Chapter 169: This Person is Pure Scum

"Third round, Mount Shushan disciple Li Xuanxiao wins!"

Li Xuanxiao won, but the victory wasn’t very graceful.

At the last moment, he used the Earth Escape Technique to dodge his opponent’s sword.

Li Mubai lost, and although he was a bit unwilling,

at this moment, he was truly happy from the bottom of his heart.

His Heavy Sword Technique actually broke through at the final moment.

Speaking of which, he had to thank this Mount Shushan disciple standing before him.

Li Mubai cupped his hands toward the other party, "I lost."

"Thanks for letting me win!"

Li Xuanxiao returned the courtesy, his robe already drenched in sweat.

The opponent didn’t develop inner demons because of the loss, nor did he harbor resentment toward him.

On the contrary, he was immersed in the joy of breaking through during the fight.

Li Xuanxiao was very satisfied with this outcome.

Li Xuanxiao walked down from the martial stage, smiling humbly in response to the gazes of all the Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters.

He returned to where the Silver Sword Peak group was.

Li Xuanxiao didn’t forget to take a Spirit Pill to replenish his energy, putting on a full act.

Senior Brother Xue Yun patted his shoulder, "Little Junior Brother, how come you forgot all the combat experience we taught you?"

Li Xuanxiao gave a bitter smile, "Senior Brother, learning is one thing, putting it into practice is another. I obviously can't be as talented as you, mastering it after just seeing it once."

"Just look at you, you didn’t study properly! If I had been at Mount Shushan these years, for sure..."

Speaking to this point, Xue Yun shook his head.

"By the way, why didn’t I see Fifth Senior Brother this time around?"

Li Xuanxiao hesitated for a moment, "Senior Brother, Fifth Senior Brother... he... he went crazy during cultivation."

Xue Yun was stunned, "When did this happen?"

"It’s been quite a while already."

Fifth Senior Brother Yan Zidong had tried to extract the Dao Embryo Spirit Core but failed, and was injured by the Dao Resonance leaking from it — it was beyond recovery.

Xue Yun lightly sighed, "I failed to fulfill my duty as the Senior Brother."

"Senior Brother, this isn't your fault."

Li Xuanxiao tried to console him.

"Besides, now that you're back, with you here, our Silver Sword Peak will definitely regain its former glory."

Lu Ziyin gave a sidelong glance.

Li Xuanxiao immediately corrected himself: "With you and Senior Brother Lu around, there’s no way Silver Sword Peak could ever decline!"

Xue Yun didn’t say anything else.

After fighting with the disciples of Xuantian Sword Sect, there were still three other Immortal Sects' disciples to face.

In other words, there were still three battles ahead.

Just thinking about it made Li Xuanxiao’s head hurt.

"..........."

Lu Ziyin had known Yang Quanzi from the Heavenly Dao Alliance for many years.

This time, among the Five Great Immortal Sects, Yang Quanzi naturally also came.

However, Yang Quanzi had been injured by a demon and arrived a little late, showing up only on the second day of the Grand Tournament.

"Senior Yang," Lu Ziyin immediately stepped forward, cupping his hands when he spotted Yang Quanzi from afar, "I heard you were injured by a demon some time ago. How’s your recovery?"

Yang Quanzi gave a bitter smile, "Don't mention it, I almost died at the hands of Liu Qiushui."

"How did you encounter that demoness?"

At this moment, the green-robed girl beside Yang Quanzi spoke:

"There was a crazy heretic who used people to refine pills. My Master stopped him and drove him off.

Then, to take revenge on my Master, he actually went to serve Liu Qiushui like a dog, and brought her over to hurt my Master."

Lu Ziyin frowned slightly, "Serve Liu Qiushui... like a dog?"

What a niche way of putting it.

"He literally had a rope tied around his neck."

The green-robed girl described the scene she had witnessed.

Lu Ziyin swallowed hard, "What a shameless piece of trash! I can't believe there are such disgraceful people still roaming the martial world!"

The green-robed girl puffed her cheeks angrily, "If I see him again, I’ll beat him up so bad his own mother wouldn’t recognize him!"

Yang Quanzi waved his hand, "Enough about that. Fellow Daoist Lu, I haven't congratulated you yet for becoming the Peak Master of Silver Sword Peak."

And so, Lu Ziyin led the two toward Silver Sword Peak.

"I’ve long heard that Silver Sword Peak boasts beautiful scenery. Seeing it today, it truly lives up to its reputation."

Yang Quanzi's gaze slowly swept over, landing on the many Mount Shushan disciples.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully observing the youthful and spirited figures, feeling a wave of emotion.

Each Mount Shushan disciple stood tall and straight like a pine,

their steps steady and powerful,

wearing unified white Daoist robes that fluttered gracefully, exuding an air of transcendence.

Every face brimmed with confidence and determination.

"Mount Shushan disciples truly live up to their reputation," Yang Quanzi whispered admiringly.

Suddenly, the green-robed girl next to him said, "Master, isn’t that..."

Yang Quanzi immediately noticed the figure.

"Master, it’s..."

Yang Quanzi quickly stopped his disciple from speaking and fixed his gaze on Li Xuanxiao.

Mount Shushan disciple!?

He glanced again at the calm and composed Lu Ziyin, then asked tentatively:

"Fellow Daoist Lu, there’s something I don't quite understand and would like to ask."

"Feel free to speak."

"Suppose — and I mean suppose — if one day you discover a heretic openly operating within a sect, what would that imply?"

Lu Ziyin pondered for a moment, "It would imply that the heretic is using the sect’s identity to hide their true self."

Yang Quanzi nodded thoughtfully.

"Of course, there’s another possibility..." Lu Ziyin lowered his voice, "Maybe the seemingly righteous sect itself is secretly full of heretics — the whole sect could be rotten to the core!"

Yang Quanzi: (⊙o⊙)…

"Daoist Yang, why are you trembling?"

"Nothing... just feeling a little chilly."

".........."

"Master, why don’t we expose Li Xuanxiao’s true identity?"

At night, the green-robed girl asked indignantly.

Yang Quanzi said, "We have no evidence yet. It's not the right time."

After sending off his disciple, noises soon came from outside the window.

Yang Quanzi silently left the house.

In the dense forest.

"Greetings, Deputy Sect Leader!"

Yang Quanzi knelt on one knee and said solemnly.

The Deputy Sect Leader of the Death Sect nodded, "Rise."

"I know you were injured recently, but this mission is of utmost importance!"

"I understand."

"This mission smells fishy to me," the Deputy Sect Leader said worriedly.

"Wasn’t there supposed to be a spy inside Mount Shushan?"

"That's exactly what I'm suspicious about. Mount Shushan has always been united. How could a spy suddenly appear? I fear there’s some trickery afoot. But the Sect Leader completely trusts this person."

Yang Quanzi said, "May I ask, Deputy Sect Leader, which disciple of Mount Shushan is the mole? I'm somewhat familiar with the sect and have some friends there — maybe I can find out more."

The Deputy Sect Leader hesitated for a moment, then said, "Silver Sword Peak's Li Xuanxiao."

"It's him!!"

"What, you know him?"

"This person is pure scum — not only refining children into pills but also shamelessly serving Liu Qiushui like a dog!!"

"Hiss~ Are you sure he actually did such things?"

"As true as the stars in the sky! I saw it with my own eyes!" Yang Quanzi said firmly.

The Deputy Sect Leader stroked his beard, "In that case, this person is definitely not someone of the righteous path!"

"............"
