Chapter 32 I Want to Report

The banner, with a white background and red letters, was very eye-catching.

Everyone passing through the square could see it clearly.

Those who saw the line of text began to speculate on who Chen Ansheng was and what kind of major transgression warranted Qian Yue Cave putting up such a large banner.

Chen Ansheng had a dark expression and clung to a trace of hope, mumbling, “There are probably at least eighty to a hundred thousand people named Chen Ansheng in the immortal realm; it’s just a common name.”

Zhong Li laughed, “It would be better if you didn’t say anything. Now that you have, it’s highly likely they’re talking about you—no dogs allowed inside.”

Chen Ansheng’s eyelids twitched, his anger rendering him speechless, and he secretly noted down this ridicule to be added to his “revenge notebook” later!

At that moment, Li Xiuyuan and an old man locked onto Chen Ansheng’s presence in the crowd and approached him.

“Uncle Wu, this is my childhood friend from the same hometown, named Zhong Li. I hope Uncle Wu can make an exception.”

Li Xiuyuan ignored Chen Ansheng and introduced Zhong Li to the old man.

Zhong Li, noticing the situation, immediately bowed to the old man, deliberately showing a tense and reserved demeanor, “Brother Xiuyuan, Uncle Wu, I pay my respects.”

Seeing Zhong Li’s innocent act made Li Xiuyuan want to vomit, but since the other party was a demon cultivator of the Xuanxian level, even with his own backing, the Third Elder would not be someone he could mess with, so he dared not play any tricks.

The old man gave Zhong Li a once-over, nodded slightly, and felt delighted inside.

This girl turned out to be a Xuanhuang True Spirit Body, which counted as high-grade aptitude in the entire cultivation world!

What the old man didn’t know was that Zhong Li had long been infiltrating the major sacred lands of the right path, and she had plenty of ways to fake her aptitude.

Of course, Zhong Li’s own aptitude was far stronger than the Xuanhuang True Spirit Body; she just didn’t want to showcase it.

“Girl, you can go up the mountain with my nephew Li.”

Zhong Li’s face lit up, tears shimmering in her eyes, “Thank you, Uncle Wu, your great kindness I will never forget.”

With so many people around, there was no room for further discussion, and the Third Elder merely nodded faintly.

Beside them, Chen Ansheng was extremely depressed.

Just one sentence settled it?!

What’s the big deal about having a backing?

What’s he supposed to do now?

Li Xiuyuan, that treacherous guy, really seems to have sent the Demoness into Qian Yue Cave; could she kill him later?

The thought of the Demoness possibly killing him made Chen Ansheng’s scalp tingle.

“Uncle Wu, this is Chen Ansheng, Young Master Chen.”

Chen Ansheng was taken aback that Li Xiuyuan would actually mention him.

“Greetings, Elder.”

Chen Ansheng held onto a glimmer of hope; could it be that Li Xiuyuan’s conscience had kicked in, allowing him to introduce him as well?

“Hmph.”

The Third Elder snorted coldly.

“Kid, Miss Zi Ling wants to capture you; if you don’t run now, you’ll be too late.”

Chen Ansheng’s body stiffened.

Someone wanted to capture him? Why, on what grounds!

“May I ask, Elder, who is Zi Ling? Why is she making things difficult for me?”

The Third Elder ignored Chen Ansheng entirely and beckoned Li Xiuyuan and Zhong Li, ready to leave.

“Who is Chen Ansheng? Come out!”

Suddenly, above the crowd, a woman in purple soared down and shouted toward the crowd.

Chen Ansheng rolled his eyes; this woman was not here for a good reason, so it was best to make a quick escape.

Therefore, Chen Ansheng shrank back and squeezed into the crowd.

“Chen Ansheng, I’m calling for you! Why aren’t you answering?”

Unexpectedly, Li Xiuyuan grabbed Chen Ansheng’s shoulder and intentionally shouted loudly.

“Damn it…”

Chen Ansheng turned his head, about to curse, but the Third Elder shot him a cold, fierce glance.

With no other choice, Chen Ansheng broke free from Li Xiuyuan and tried to escape into the crowd.

Unfortunately, a red thread suddenly shot out, locking Chen Ansheng firmly in place.

As he struggled helplessly, he saw the purple-clad woman already hovering before him.

“Greetings, Miss.”

The Third Elder bowed respectfully upon seeing the woman.

The woman fixed her cold gaze on Chen Ansheng and said, “You were the one who delivered the letter yesterday; you are Chen Ansheng?”

Chen Ansheng knew arguing was useless, so he forced himself to say, “If it was a letter for the Nanguang Cave Master, then it was I who sent someone to deliver it.”

The woman snorted coldly and said, “You’re just a country bumpkin; don’t even think about entering my Qian Yue Cave for the rest of your life!”

With no way out, Chen Ansheng replied, “If you don’t let me in, I won’t go in, so could you please let me go?”

The woman narrowed her eyes slightly and said, “Let you go? How could I easily do that!”

Chen Ansheng wanted to cry but had no tears; what did Li Zhengyang do to offend this woman? Just a letter of introduction, did it warrant such treatment?

“Miss, please don’t be impulsive; we have no grudges from the past nor enmity from recent days. You wouldn’t actually kill me, would you?” Chen Ansheng said.

“Kill you? That would only dirty my sword, but I could insult you; I want to carve the words ‘vile creature’ on your face,” the woman said suddenly, laughing.

“Leave some space for future encounters; why must you go so far?” Chen Ansheng said with a bitter face, ready to try fleeing with Extreme Shield Heavenly Gang.

At this moment, everyone was captivated by the scene, pointing and watching the spectacle.

The happiest person was none other than Li Xiuyuan.

As for Zhong Li, she hated Chen Ansheng deeply, but seeing him in danger, she felt a spontaneous urge to step in to rescue him. Fortunately, she managed to suppress that impulse for the moment.

“Stop wasting time; who told you to act presumptuously and submit yourself to trouble.”

As the words fell, the woman brought her two fingers together, and celestial power formed a transparent sword, ready to stab the letters onto Chen Ansheng’s face.

Chen Ansheng’s mind raced, preparing to resist. If that didn’t work, he could still hide in the lower realm for a while.

“Zi Ling, stop! Do not be disrespectful to my little master uncle!”

As a voice rang out across the square, a figure seemed to appear behind the woman as if teleporting.

“Mother? Why are you here?” The woman called Zi Ling was taken aback.

“Hmph, if I didn’t come, you would dare to defy authority and bully your little master uncle, wouldn’t you?”

“What nonsense little master uncle; he’s not worthy!”

“Don’t speak foolishly.”

The woman lightly reprimanded, waving her hand to release a current of celestial power that loosened the red thread binding Chen Ansheng.

“Nanguang Xiu greets my little master uncle; I apologize for startling you.”

Nanguang Xiu slightly bowed to Chen Ansheng.

The unfolding situation astonished everyone.

That kid’s identity had suddenly shifted from being on par with a dog to being the little master uncle of the Nanguang Cave Master?

Their minds struggled to comprehend it.

Not to mention others; even Chen Ansheng himself was in a daze.

“This… I dare not, I dare not. Since the misunderstanding is resolved, I will take my leave now, no need to see me off.”

Chen Ansheng couldn’t figure out what was going on and decided it was better to leave first.

“Wait a moment, little master uncle.” Nanguang Xiu stepped in front of Chen Ansheng, saying, “I have a few words I want to talk to you about in private, please.”

Seeing how things were, it appeared they still wouldn’t let him leave.

However, with Nanguang Cave Master’s reasonable attitude, there shouldn’t be too much danger; a few words here and there would be fine.

Watching this unfold, Li Xiuyuan’s face turned green. He had thought Chen Ansheng was doomed this time; he never expected him to truly be the little master uncle of the Nanguang Cave Master!

He regretted provoking him.

Li Xiuyuan hid behind the Third Elder to lower his presence, hoping that Chen Ansheng wouldn’t trouble him.

“By the way, Nanguang Cave Master, I have a matter to report!”

What’s it called, the opposite of wishes?

Just before following Nanguang Xiu to leave, Chen Ansheng suddenly spoke up.

“What matter?” Nanguang Xiu asked.

“There’s a kid named Li Xiuyuan who used connections to get a certain elder a gift, gaining an inner admission qualification!”

After Chen Ansheng finished speaking, Nanguang Xiu’s gaze naturally fell on the Third Elder.

She coldly reprimanded, “Third Elder, you need to investigate thoroughly who dares to tarnish my Qiankun Cave’s reputation, and you’ll bring them to see me. If there is any concealment, you will bear the consequences.”

At this moment, Chen Ansheng simultaneously sensed four murderous gazes landing on him.

Following that, under Nanguang Xiu’s celestial power protection, Chen Ansheng flew up to Ninefold Flower Mountain with her.

“Shameless scoundrel, don’t think that because my mother is protecting you, you’ll have good days ahead!” Zi Ling gritted her teeth as she watched the direction Chen Ansheng left.

“That stupid donkey dares to spoil my great plans; I’ll kill you sooner or later!” This came from Zhong Li’s resentment.

“Chen Ansheng, you bastard, if I can’t join, I’ll haunt you as a ghost!” Li Xiuyuan shouted with deep-seated hatred.

“That little brat, I haven’t even offended you; how dare you expose my bottom line! It infuriates me; I will definitely fight you to the end!” The Third Elder was so angry his eyes nearly bulged out.
