The Carnation Goddess

All the outer court protégés were surprised that the inner court elders and even the astonishing peerless Fairy Yue Shuwen were in the outer court now; everyone was asked to gather in the main outer court hall that could accommodate 10 000 cultivators.

The male protégés were particularly excited.

No male protégés would not be excited to seeing the peerless Fairy Yue Shuwen in person.

Although Fairy Yue Shuwen was just an honorable elder, her great beauty was renowned throughout the seven holy lands and the entire Fenghua Great Continent.

As Shen Lie had disappeared for most of the night, his same room male protégés had decided to punish him for not following the night rules. But before they could melt down any punishments on him, they were summoned by the outer court elders and ordered to assemble in the main outer court hall.

"What is going on here?"

"Something is amiss here?"

"I finally get to see the great beauty of the Fairy Yue Shuwen for once…"


"Maybe today Fairy Yue Shuwen wishes to speak to us?"

There were roughly 6000 protégés in the outer court that had gathered.

Even though this was the smallest of all the holy lands, its outer court protégés were still considered to be many since this is a holy land.

When everyone had gathered, the astonishing beautiful Elder Hua Zixia was seen together with the astonishing peerless Fairy Yue Shuwen. Behind them were Elder Li Hong and 18 other female elders.

There was never a male elder in the Holy Maiden Sanctuary so all the elders were actually females.
Elder Hua Zixia was now saying sternly, although it was too hard to hide her beautiful countenance and the male protégés were only too glad to hear her voice no matter how fierce she was.

"Yesterday night, we have someone in the outer court that has broken through into the inner court. We know that he is an outer court protégé because our perimeter profound defense arrays are still intact. If you dare to do this then you should also dare to admit your deed and your motivations for doing so. If you do dare to admit it then we will try to be lenient to you as well."

Fairy Yue Shuwen had naturally spotted and recognized Shen Lie from the 6000 protégés in the hall. Even if he did not admit his deeds, she would also be able to pinpoint him.

There was a huge commotion in the main outer court hall now.

"Who is so daring?"

"The punishment for visiting the inner court is extremely severe…"

"Unless we can improve our cultivation, we cannot go to the inner court for any other reasons…"

"The inner court are all female cultivators and there are no males…"

"The punishment for being caught for entering the inner court can be as severe as expulsion from the Holy Maiden Sanctuary!"

"Who can it be?"

"In the first place, did he enter the inner court or not? It is actually protected by several profound defensive arrays..."

Shen Lie had suddenly stepped forward, "Oh that? It is me."

Many of the outer court protégés that had never seen Shen Lie before were all asking in confusion now.

"Who is he?"

"Is he new?"

"How come he doesn't know the rules?"

"His fellow protégés should be punished alongside with him!"

Elder Hua Zixia had not expected Shen Lie to own up so speedily and she could feel that she was now in a terrible trouble.

Fairy Yue Shuwen was also surprised that Shen Lie was owning up so soon. Although this was her primary task to find the culprit and she had already known who he was but she was still thinking how should she worded it in a proper manner. It was because she could not tell anyone what she had seen last night so readily…

She was not about to expose Elder Hua Zixia yet because she had her own personal reasons not to do so. For example, this was the perfect handle that she could threaten Elder Hua Zixia with.

So, she asked softly, "Why do you own up so readily and what is your name?"

Shen Lie chuckled softly, "In front of such a heavenly fairy, this protégé really did not dare to lie. I am Shen Lie and I have only just become an outer court protégé. So, I may not know all the rules. I hope that fairy sister will forgive me? But in front of such a peerless fairy sister, I am most willing to be tortured to the death by you and even when I am in my grave, I will not blame fairy sister at all."

Fairy Yue Shuwen was slightly flustered by his praises and she had never seen anyone as shameless as his praise before. Coupled by his beautiful face and what she had seen last night, she could feel the moisture in her panties now.

But she quickly composed herself to say, "Come with me to see Saintess Sheng Feiyan now. If you are caught lying then the punishment will be very severe. And if you are a spy of the other holy lands then death will be your only worthy punishment."

Shen Lie was not thinking about the punishments at all; he was actually thinking that he would be able to see Saintess Sheng Feiyan very soon!

Soon, he would be able to use Saintess Sheng Feiyan to complete his Carnation Goddess Painting and to take vendetta on her.

He could only pray that she would not grow in her cultivation strength and moreover, she had so many thousands of cultivators under her now.

All of a sudden, he was thinking that this may not be the best approach now and that he was actually screwing himself to a corner.

Fairy Yue Shuwen simply said to Shen Lie, "Come with me. You are going to see Saintess Sheng Feiyan today."

Immediately Shen Lie was surrounded and escorted by Elder Hua Zixia, Elder Li Hong and 18 other female elders.

Barely one day had passed since he had entered the Holy Maiden Sanctuary and his story was now ending?
