Villain: I Am Wronged, Master, I Am Really Not A Scumbag

Lin Xingyun immediately interrupted.

Then he took out a red bellyband from the Universe Ring, which was printed with a cute cat pattern.

"Sister, do you recognize this?"

"I found it after the spring dried up, but looking at this childish pattern, it definitely isn't yours, Sister..."

Lin Xingyun asked with a kind smile on his face.

But before he could finish speaking, Liu Xinyan pointed her finger and turned the bellyband in his hand into ashes.

"What did you find?"

"What pattern? What childishness?"

Although Liu Xinyan's face was slightly flushed at this moment, what was more prominent was her gloominess and a threatening aura.

Terrifying spiritual power surged in her jade hand.

After a brief observation, Lin Xingyun dared to be certain.

If he said the wrong thing next, he would be slapped by this Great Saint in the next moment!

He could guarantee that if he were to be slapped, he would at most cry out in pain, because it was very likely that he wouldn't be able to make a second sound...

"I found nothing, absolutely nothing!"

"I saw nothing!"

"Sister, please take me out. I can't wait any longer to be appointed as the Sword Disciple!"

Lin Xingyun tactfully replied.

"Hmph! Impudent disciple!"

Only then did Liu Xinyan snort and retract her spiritual power.

Then she waved her sleeve and left with Lin Xingyun on a cloud.

After the two of them left the Purple Bamboo Forest.

"Lin Xingyun, you still have a chance to confess the truth now."

"That Source Divine Spring is extremely precious. Although the spring is still there, it is unlikely to fully recover after at least a hundred years."

"How did a mere Wheel Sea Realm like you make the Source Divine Spring disappear?"

"Confess and you'll be treated leniently, resist and you'll be dealt with severely!"

Liu Xinyan glanced at Lin Xingyun with a dignified tone.

"This is my secret. I hope Sister won't inquire any further."

Lin Xingyun remained calm and indifferent.

"If Sister insists on me revealing this secret."

"Then I can only announce it to the world, saying that I found a bellyband with a small cat pattern in the Source Divine Spring..."

"Shut up! You're asking for death!"

"You despicable brat!"

Before Lin Xingyun could finish speaking, Liu Xinyan angrily interrupted him.

She couldn't bear it any longer.

She raised her slender jade leg and kicked Lin Xingyun off the cloud in anger.

As Lin Xingyun was falling, he remained calm and composed.

He turned back and shouted.

"Sister, rest assured! I will keep the secret!"

"You... you--!"

"You shameless bastard! Go die!"

Liu Xinyan was extremely embarrassed and angry.

Finally, she took out her sword and was about to strike.

"Not good!"

"Sister, see you tomorrow!"

Seeing Liu Xinyan draw her sword, Lin Xingyun knew that he had provoked her.

Immediately, he took out a small bronze cauldron from the Universe Ring.

This was one of the sacred weapons given to him by Lin Rong, specifically used for defense and escape.

He flew into the cauldron and it automatically activated, turning into a green light and flying away.

"Hmph! You're lucky to escape!"

Liu Xinyan didn't really intend to draw her sword.

After scolding Lin Xingyun a few more times, she put away her sword and left in anger.

...

...

The next day, at the hour of the dragon.

On the main peak of the Sword-Asking Peak, in front of the peak master's hall.

All the elders and disciples of the Sword-Asking Peak had gathered here.

Everyone held a sword, and the sword qi gathered, faintly making a clanging sound.

Among the disciples, there were seven people standing in the front row.

They were four men and three women, all dressed in pale golden robes, a symbol of true disciples.

At this moment, the four men among them all had expressions of dissatisfaction and impatience.

But they relied on their status and didn't speak up.

Instead, the other disciples behind them were already discussing.

"Did you hear? The disciple to be appointed this time, Lin Xingyun, is only at the perfect Wheel Sea Realm!"

"In our Yaochi, this cultivation level is just a newly initiated junior."

"I can't believe the peak master is so conservative, not appointing those senior disciples and letting such a little guy become the Sword Disciple!"

"His vision is too narrow! Let me tell you, the news has already spread outside."

"This little sword disciple is the second young master of the Lin Family, with a prominent background!"

"That means he is the Peak Master's brother-in-law?!"

"I asked Jianfeng, the land of sword cultivation, which has always been firm and unwavering. It's outrageous that they are now involved in such a relationship!"

"Jianfeng is gradually declining, no wonder it can't compare to the other three peaks!"

As the crowd whispered and discussed.

"Silence!"

An elder suddenly shouted, and the crowd reluctantly closed their mouths.

Meanwhile, the seven true disciples in the front row were deep in thought.

"Meng Junior Brother, are you really going to openly oppose that little swordsman later?"

The silver-haired middle-aged man among the seven.

He pretended to look worried and asked the person next to him through voice transmission.

"Of course, as true disciples, we cultivate the sword path with great effort, hoping to inherit the position of the Swordsman in the future."

"Why should a little brat who pulls out a rusty sword be appointed as the Swordsman?"

Meng Liangchen, a young man, looked resentful and replied through voice transmission.

"Well, be careful not to provoke the Peak Master."

"If the Peak Master gets angry, we will all suffer!"

The other two male true disciples also communicated through voice transmission.

They also hoped that Meng Liangchen would take the lead, while they would adapt accordingly.

After all, the four of them all coveted the position of the Swordsman.

If they became the Swordsman, they would gain access to cultivation resources, techniques, elixirs, and more, far surpassing the true disciples.

They would even have the chance to inherit the position of the Peak Master in the future!

Naturally, they didn't want to hand over this position to a newcomer.

Standing beside them were three female true disciples.

One of them, a cute girl with pink hair, covered her mouth and giggled.

Her eyes were full of mischief.

"What a bunch of fools, go ahead and make a fuss."

"He is the Peak Master's brother-in-law, do you really think you can overthrow him? Hehe!"

Her name was Zhao Binglan, the sixth among the seven true disciples.

She was usually playful and liked to play pranks.

At this moment, she was looking forward to seeing the other four senior brothers make a fool of themselves.

Beside her was her older sister, Zhao Hanyi, the first true disciple of Jianfeng.

She had a calm and serene temperament, and her appearance was similar to Zhao Binglan's, but her figure was fuller.

Even the wide true disciple golden robe couldn't hide her beautiful curves.

At this moment, she was closing her eyes, seemingly indifferent to all the commotion.

Next to the two sisters was the newly arrived seventh true disciple, Su Qingwu.

She was constantly tugging at her clothes.

Looking at the gate of the Peak Master's Pavilion, her face was filled with anticipation.

Since she parted with the Swordsman's Pavilion, she hadn't seen Lin Xingyun for a whole seven days.

During these seven days, she felt like a lovesick girl, longing to see Lin Xingyun every day.

Or rather, she wanted to see the Great Principle Dao Sword.

But unfortunately, Lin Xingyun had been in seclusion at the Source God Spring all this time.

Today was the appointment of the Swordsman, and she could finally fulfill her wish!

"The Peak Master is here!"

Not long after, with a loud announcement.

Everyone present knelt down on one knee and saluted the Peak Master.

"Greetings to the Peak Master!"

Liu Xinyan walked out gracefully, proud and alone, heading straight to the high platform where the appointment ceremony was held.

She was wearing a gorgeous black dress with golden borders today, adorned with a golden crown and hairpin, looking grand.

She stepped on a pair of black and gold mirrored high-heeled boots.

She looked like a queen in the mortal world, noble, cold, and aloof.

All the male elders and disciples present, even those who feared the authority of the Peak Master.

Couldn't help but be stunned by her beauty.

When Liu Xinyan stepped onto the high platform with a graceful stride.

She glanced at the Peak Master's Pavilion.

Lin Xingyun followed closely behind her, coming out of the pavilion.

He wasn't dressed up today, just restored his usual carefree appearance, wearing a jade crown and a white robe as pure as snow.

He also walked slowly and steadily, ascending the high platform.

All the female elders and disciples present, upon seeing Lin Xingyun.

Were even more shocked and infatuated than when they saw Liu Xinyan.

The special allure of the Body of Female Calamity, combined with Lin Xingyun's rare appearance and temperament.

Caused the sound of swallowing saliva to constantly echo.

Su Qingwu was even more fascinated, almost wanting to rush forward and embrace Lin Xingyun again.

Even Zhao Binglan, who was originally waiting to watch the show, had hearts in her eyes and her mouth wide open.

She quickly wiped her mouth when she felt her saliva about to drip.

As for Zhao Hanyi, when she saw Lin Xingyun.

Her originally calm and serene face was now filled with shock.

"It's him?!"

"He... how did he come to Yaochi?"

"And... he's going to be appointed as the Swordsman?!"

Her long-suppressed feelings were now causing waves in her heart.

Her body couldn't help but tremble.

Memories that she had forcibly sealed away surged up again.
