Chapter 139 Chen Wan'er was left behind
Her voice was quite loud, and she deliberately spoke clearly and distinctly, instantly attracting the attention of many disciples around her.
The originally quiet atmosphere inside the hall was suddenly disrupted, like ripples spreading across a lake after a pebble has been thrown in.
Chen Wan'er raised her eyebrows slightly, and as her beautiful eyes darted around, a cold smile appeared on her lips.
She walked a few steps up to the female nun and said without any mercy:
"The methods I use in my cultivation are upright and honest, and I am well aware of them."
Unlike some people who, for a few cultivation resources, are willing to sell their bodies and sleep with men without any shame!
Chen Wan'er's voice was clear and loud, echoing in the hall, each word like a knife, piercing the female cultivator's heart.
Upon hearing this, the female cultivator's face instantly turned bright red.
Her eyes widened, her finger trembling as she pointed at Chen Wan'er, and she shouted angrily.
"Chen Wan'er, what... what nonsense are you spouting!"
"Oh?" Chen Wan'er tilted her head slightly, feigning surprise, and deliberately raised her voice.
"Are you talking to me? I thought there was a dog barking next to me, making a racket."
After saying that, he exaggeratedly picked at his ear, looking as infuriating as could be.
Seeing this, some of the surrounding disciples couldn't help but chuckle, while others looked astonished.
The atmosphere inside the hall suddenly became more complex and subtle.
The crowd's gazes darted back and forth between Chen Wan'er and the female cultivator, like searchlights, making everyone uneasy.
Several busybodies even openly pointed at the female cultivator and whispered among themselves.
The female cultivator blushed deeply, her eyes filled with a mixture of shame and resentment as she was scrutinized like this.
She bit her lower lip tightly, her hands unconsciously clenching the hem of her clothes, and her body trembled slightly.
"Chen Wan'er, you brought all of this on yourself!"
The female cultivator gritted her teeth inwardly, "A mere newcomer who has only been here for a few days dares to try and ride on my head."
"Hmph, I'll definitely teach you a lesson and show you clearly who's in charge here in the Thousand Illusions Sect!"
Thinking this, a fierce glint flashed in her eyes, and her chest heaved violently with the surge of her emotions.
"What's all the noise about? Do you all think you can ascend to immortality on the spot and don't need to cultivate diligently anymore?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw the Second Elder striding in, his face so gloomy it could drip water.
The disciples below dared not cause any more trouble. They quickly shut up, stood obediently with their heads down, and didn't dare to breathe.
The Second Elder's gaze was sharp as he swept through the crowd, finally settling on Chen Wan'er, his tone full of reproach:
"Chen Wan'er, you've only been here a few days, how come you've already caused so much trouble?"
Don't take advantage of your fast cultivation speed to cause trouble all day long; what kind of behavior is that!
Chen Wan'er looked up and instantly realized that this was the Second Elder that Li Wen had mentioned before, the one who often went to the Blood Demon Sect to show off his power.
Thinking of this, a stubborn smile curved her lips, and she responded with neither humility nor arrogance:
"Second Elder, this is not my fault."
It's clearly someone spreading lies and maliciously slandering me. Am I not allowed to defend myself? Am I just supposed to let others smear me?
Chen Wan'er's words were resounding and echoed throughout the hall, completely disregarding the other party's authority as an elder.
Anyway, she's not afraid of anyone now, so go ahead and kill her if you dare.
If they really have the guts, then let them do it.
Moreover, the highest cultivation level in the Thousand Illusions Sect is only the Nascent Soul stage, which she considers nothing to fear.
The Second Elder was so angry at Chen Wan'er's defiance that he glared and his face turned pale and red.
Just as he was about to severely punish this arrogant girl, the Fourth Elder, who had just stepped into the main hall, caught him in the act.
The Fourth Elder, quick-witted as ever, hurried forward, grabbed the Second Elder's arm, and pulled him aside.
He tried to smooth things over, saying, "Second Elder, young people are bound to be proud and arrogant. You are a magnanimous elder, there's no need to stoop to her level."
"Perfect timing! I recently acquired a jar of fine wine; its flavor is rich and aromatic. Shall we go and have some together to calm down?"
Although the Second Elder was full of resentment, he was persuaded by the Fourth Elder and, considering his pride, he snorted a few times and went with him.
The two accompanied each other to the Fourth Elder's residence. As soon as they entered, the Second Elder keenly noticed that there were far fewer items here than before, and a sense of bitterness and melancholy welled up in his heart.
He turned to the Fourth Elder and earnestly advised him:
"Fourth Elder, although there is not much time left, why are you so discouraged and giving up so easily?"
Perhaps, within the next year or two, your cultivation will break through and reach the Nascent Soul realm.
"Then, it will be a completely new world."
His words were full of expectations and encouragement for the Fourth Elder.
The Fourth Elder, however, seemed resigned to his fate, waving his hand weakly and forcing a bitter smile on his face:
"Alright, alright, let's just enjoy drinking to our hearts' content today. Let's not talk about those troublesome things anymore."
After saying that, he went straight to the table, took out two exquisite wine glasses, and filled them with fine wine for the two of them.
After a few drinks, a warm feeling rose from his stomach, and the Fourth Elder's eyes gradually became somewhat unfocused.
Overwhelmed with emotion, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.
"Alas, all things in this world change, and in the end, it is the world of the young!"
Look at the disciples in our sect now! Their cultivation speed is many times faster than ours was back then. They are truly a force to be reckoned with!
His words contained both reminiscences of the glorious past and expectations and sentiments for the younger generation.
Upon hearing this, the Second Elder deeply agreed, nodded emphatically, and echoed:
"Who can argue with that! Just look at these new kids who have recently joined the class; their progress is simply astonishing."
"However, when it comes to the fastest cultivation speed, it has to be that girl Chen Wan'er."
The Fourth Elder narrowed his eyes slightly, as if recalling something.
"How long has it been? She has already soared from the Foundation Establishment stage to the second level of the Golden Core stage. Such talent and speed are truly rare."
Upon hearing the name "Chen Wan'er," the Second Elder's face instantly darkened.
His chest felt like it was filled with a nameless rage, and he snorted coldly:
"Hmph, so what if you cultivate quickly?"
Just because he received a few words of praise from the sect leader, he's already getting arrogant and doesn't take us old guys seriously.
In my opinion, someone like her is bound to stumble sooner or later on this long path of cultivation; she won't go far.
His words were full of jealousy and disdain for Chen Wan'er.
The Fourth Elder remained silent on the matter, simply picking up the wine pot and refilling the Second Elder's cup.
He steadily picked up his wine glass with both hands, a faint smile on his face, and said softly to the Second Elder, "Come, drink, drink."
Seeing the Fourth Elder's state, the Second Elder didn't know what to say, but he still wanted to do something for him.
He raised the glass to his lips, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.
He then rose, bowed to the Fourth Elder, and took his leave.
"Fourth Elder, I'm sorry to have bothered you today. Please come to my humble abode another day so we can have a proper get-together."
"Second Elder, you're too kind. You're very busy, please make yourself at home."
The Fourth Elder also rose to return the greeting, his smile warm and friendly.
Before long, the Second Elder returned to the main hall.
By this time, the morning lessons had ended, and the disciples, like birds released from their cages, chattered and dispersed in twos and threes.
Among the crowd, only Chen Wan'er was left behind by the Second Elder.
