The Romantic Cultivator

As Confidant Ur Muyuan entered the great hall, she quickly displayed her homage to all the Cardinals and Elders, including a polite nod at Millenium Jun Feitian and Holy Harpy Yue Wushuang.

Ji Yuan naturally knows that Confidant Ur Muyuan is also a lover of Millenium Jun Feitian and he won't be surprised that she may be in cahoots with them.

But he was grinning instead because he was rarely bothered by the plots and he enjoyed watching the plots unraveled before him.

His only regrets were that Xiang Li and Anyang were not around to witness this. 

One must know that Ji Yuan sometimes had a really nasty habit of overplaying himself.

If anyone still recall the time when Ji Yuan was caught red-handedly with the Sacred Maiden Xue Qianxue, he willingly allowed himself to get imprisoned and even tortured just to see the game of his opponents.

 Even without Hua Baiyue or Hua Wuwu helping him, he would still be able to escape eventually. But he just wanted to see what would happen next.

At that time, he was almost executed by the divine lightning formation of the Celestial Orthodox Sect while playing his waiting game.

The reason why Ji Yuan was able to be so calm was because he did not have any attachment to protect his good reputation and he could simply walk away without a care to what the others would think of him. 

At this moment, he was thinking: Even if I am the fake Great Patriarch Sword Saint, so what? Don't tell me that you want to retain me?

The Cardinal Patriarch asked Confidant Ur Muyuan as he nervously looked at Ji Yuan, "Is it true that you have proof that... he isn't the real Great Patriarch Great Saint?"

Confidant Ur Muyuan smiled sweetly, "It is the true. I saw this with my very own eyes and I have reported this to Herald Ma Laide in the very first instance."

She had actually wanted to tell Millenium Jun Feitian but the first person that she had met was Herald Ma Laide so she had told him about this.

And Herald Ma Laide had told her, "Tell no one about this first." 

Confidant Ur Muyuan continued to say, "For this, I have to start from the very beginning. That day. Or rather 3 days ago, I saw my Cardinal Confidant wrapped herself in black cloak and she seemed to be in a hurry. So, I cannot resist myself as I follow her."

3 days ago?

The Cardinal Patriarch was now looking at the Cardinal Herald and the Cardinal Pope; they all know that the Cardinal Confidant Jun Qianfeng had disappeared for 3 days. 

She was not in cultivation?

She lied to everyone?

The Cardinal Patriarch was jolted as he solemnly asked, "You saw where she went to?"

When he had asked this, Cardinal Confidant Jun Qianfeng and Cardinal Harpy Li Yifen were looking flustered and they were also awkward. 

Confidant Ur Muyuan said calmly, "I saw that she had gone to the Sanctuary of the Forbidden. And she was also meeting the Cardinal Harpy and Holy Harpy 4444."

The Cardinal Patriarch was appalled as he turned to look at the Cardinal Confidant and Cardinal Harpy, "You take him into our sacred Sanctuary of the Forbidden?"

Herald Ma Laide was smiling immediately; no one other than the Cardinals is to be allowed in the Sanctuary of the Forbidden. Breaking this sacred law means the death penalty.

Li Yifen said solemnly, "This isn't the fault of the Cardinal Confidant. I am the one that force her to do so."

Jun Qianfeng was almost in tears as she muttered silently: Mother Consort, you are taking the punishment in my stead?! 

She quickly stepped forward and said firmly, "It isn't the fault of the Cardinal Harpy! I am to be blamed! I want to find a spirit divine weapon for… Ji Yuan."

Ji Yuan stepped forward to say chivalrously, "Nono, it is me. I am the one that forces them to do so. If you want to blame then it is me."

He did not mind taking the blame for these two maidens.

Li Yifen and Jun Qianfeng were both startled as they said at the same time, "No, it is me instead!"

The Cardinal Patriarch weakly said to Confidant Ur Muyuan, "Go on."

Confidant Ur Muyuan giggled sweetly as she looked at Ji Yuan, "I waited for 3 days and then I see them all exiting from the Sanctuary of the Forbidden. Then I saw him putting on a dark cloak and took out a mask before flying to the heavens to confront the Immortal Heavenly Wrath. This is all that I know."

Millenium Jun Feitian was shocked, "This lowly human is the Great Patriarch Sword Saint? My elder sister and mother consort already know about this…" 

Even the Cardinal Pope and the Cardinal Herald were both looking quite shocked when they had heard this even though they were expecting Ji Yuan to be the fake Great Patriarch Sword Saint.

From the sheepish look that were on Juan Xian'Er and Xuan Qiaoqiao, it was not hard for the other 3 Cardinals to know that they had also already known about this.

Herald Ma Laide was now pointing at Ji Yuan and said coldly, "Did you hear that? This lowly human dare to marauding as our Great Patriarch Sword Saint and this is another punishable death offense!" 

The Cardinal Patriarch shouted solemnly, "Imperators!"

Immediately three dozen high level cultivators began to enter into the great hall. 

Ji Yuan muttered weakly, "This is the end…"

The Cardinal Patriarch pointed to Herald Ma Laide and said, "You have all heard him while you are outside. Take him away for interrogation! He is a damn spy of the Abyssal King Gong Magog! Also take Holy Harpy Yue Wushuang away as well!"

When Holy Harpy Yue Wushuang had heard this, she fainted immediately. 

Herald Ma Laide was shocked, "You are taking me away? What about him then? He is a fake and he even dare to barge into our sacred Sanctuary of the Forbidden!"

He began to point at Ji Yuan furiously as he said that.

The Cardinal Patriarch smiled weakly, "This Holy Harpy Ji Yuan… I mean Savior Ji Yuan is our honorable guest. Not once but twice in a row, he has saved our Ancient Race and we are going to need Savior Ji Yuan's help in the coming battle too. How dare you accuse Savior Ji Yuan of being a fake?"

Then he raised his voice and said to Herald Ma Laide, "I am the one that gives Savior Ji Yuan the convenient title of this Great Patriarch Sword Saint so that he can help our Ancient Race in secret!"

Herald Ma Laide was shocked with disbelief when he had heard this, "This… this… no way…."

Ji Yuan: …

Xuan Qiaoqiao, Li Yifen, Juan Xian'Er, Jun Qianfeng: …

The 4 maidens were all thinking about the same thing: This Cardinal Patriarch is just trying to butter up to Ji Yuan…

The Cardinal Pope was also quick to add, "Savior Ji Yuan is the savior of our Ancient Race. There is nothing wrong with him paying a little visit to our Sanctuary of the Forbidden. Hahaha…"

"Nothing wrong at all. Hahaha…" The Cardinal Herald was also quick to add.

Ji Yuan: …

Juan Xian'Er, Xuan Qiaoqiao, Juan Xian'Er and Jun Qianfeng: …

Ding Xiaoxiao: …

The Cardinal Patriarch repeated his orders, "Take Herald Ma Laide and Holy Harpy Yue Wushuang away!"

Herald Ma Laide turned to Millenium Jun Feitian to say, "Brother! Help me!"

But Millenium Jun Feitian spat at him instead, "So you are a mole of the Abyssal King Gong Magog! I have nothing to do with you!"

Then he was angrily saying to Confidant Ur Muyuan, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that Holy Harpy 4444 is our savior?!"

Confidant Ur Muyuan smiled sweetly, "I can't find you but now you know." 

Millenium Jun Feitian: …

"Savior Ji Yuan!" There was a great shout from Millenium Jun Feitian as he kowtowed with his head bended low on the ground. "Please take me as your disciple! Please forgive me for the past trespasses!"

Ji Yuan: …

He rolled his eyes sheepishly as he muttered incoherently to himself, "Can I say no? I don't want to be thrown down the mountains, you know."

But he said instead, "No. Because you look down on people that are inferior to you. You just don't have the heart of the sword dao in you."

Millenium Jun Feitian began to plead panicky, "I will surely change, I can make an oath to my soul sea!"
