"Master, I have discovered a great secret, Ye Chen and Qin Yan..."
Tao Xi Yao suddenly burst in, but before she could finish her sentence, she froze in place.
Despicable scoundrel Ye Chen was actually with Qin Yan and Leng Ao Fu.
Upon discovering this secret, Tao Xi Yao immediately came to find Supreme Master Tian Yu, hoping to unite with her master to bring down Ye Chen.
Who knew that, as soon as she entered her master's grand hall, she would witness such a scene.
Ye Chen and Supreme Master Tian Yu were gazing at each other... Had he already made his move on her master?
Tao Xi Yao was fuming with hatred for Ye Chen!
"... ..."
Tao Xi Yao's sudden arrival made Tian Yu as startled as a frightened bird, with a feeling of guilt washing over her.
"Xi Yao, what are you doing here?" asked Supreme Master Tian Yu.
"I... I..."
Tao Xi Yao looked at Supreme Master Tian Yu, then turned her gaze towards Ye Chen, momentarily at a loss for words.
Tao Xi Yao had come to report him.
But since Ye Chen was here as well, how could she reveal his misdeeds?
"Ye Chen, you're about to ascend to the position of the Saint Heir. Go back and make your preparations!" At this moment, Supreme Master Tian Yu looked at Ye Chen and said.
Supreme Master Tian Yu's tone was very calm, with no trace of blame, as if nothing had happened.
"You two take your time chatting, I'll head back first!" Ye Chen seemed embarrassed and took off running.
"... ..."
"Master, Ye Chen has gone too far; he is involved with Qin Yan and Leng Ao Fu... "
Just as Ye Chen left, Tao Xi Yao, filled with fury, began exposing Ye Chen's misdeeds.
"After all the bad things Ye Chen has done, isn't he afraid the Palace Master will be enraged?" asked Supreme Master Tian Yu, shocked upon hearing everything.
"He relies on his arrogant prowess, disregarding Saints," said Tao Xi Yao.
"Indeed, Ye Chen's thinking jumps around; he only follows his own heart!"
Supreme Master Tian Yu recalled Ye Chen's words, "The strong make the rules, the weak follow the rules." This was their difference from Ye Chen – the mindset of the weak versus the mindset of the strong!
In truth, Ye Chen did nothing wrong. He and Leng Ao Fu were mutually in love. Even marriage and children would not be wrong.
Unfortunately, this was Baihua Palace, a place bound by strict rules, where relationships between men and women were forbidden!
Thus, even if Ye Chen truly loved Leng Ao Fu and Qin Yan, it was the gravest error here.
"Master, what should we do? Are we just going to let Ye Chen run free?" Tao Xi Yao asked, filled with hatred.
Qin Yan was her good sister, originally devoted to her path and focused on cultivation but was delayed by Ye Chen.
Moreover, it was bad enough that Ye Chen delayed Qin Yan, but he even set his sights on her master!
Tao Xi Yao felt she could no longer tolerate it and decided to find Saint Jue Qing to report Ye Chen's misdeeds.
"Xi Yao, don't be so hasty!" said Supreme Master Tian Yu. "Ye Chen's influence has grown, and his power is comparable to the Vice Palace Master. Even if you report his misdeeds, it will have little effect!"
"Then what should we do?" asked Tao Xi Yao anxiously. "The Palace Master is mostly absent, and the Vice Palace Master appears sporadically. If the Vice Palace Master cannot defeat Ye Chen, won't he then roam free?"
Ye Chen's acquisition of the Dragon God's suit allowed him to defeat the six Great Saints, which proved his strength, though it wasn't widely known.
However, disciples of Baihua Palace had witnessed that earth-shattering battle while in the Void Realm.
Tao Xi Yao had witnessed that battle herself and knew of Ye Chen's terrifying and invincible power. Even if Saint Jue Qing could surpass him, it would be hard to judge him!
But, Ye Chen engaged in unforgivable acts with female disciples. Could they simply let him go?
"Xi Yao, in reality, Ye Chen has not committed any crimes. Being with his beloved is natural! It's just that Baihua Palace's rules are too numerous, making it hard to tolerate," mused Supreme Master Tian Yu.
Having lived for hundreds of years, Supreme Master Tian Yu understood the principles of ethics and human warmth. Ye Chen's errors were not severe.
Neither Leng Ao Fu nor Qin Yan had condemned Ye Chen, which clearly indicated their voluntary love with him, without any coercion.
"Master, how can you think this way?" Tao Xi Yao asked in disbelief. "Ye Chen is a heinous offender; I must bring him down, ruin him, and make him despised by all!"
"Xi Yao, don't act recklessly. Ye Chen is too dangerous; you are no match for him!" warned Supreme Master Tian Yu.
"Master, rest assured, I won't confront him head-on!" said Tao Xi Yao. "Ye Chen is about to ascend to the position of Saint Heir. When heroes from all over come to congratulate, that's when I'll step out and expose Ye Chen's misdeeds!"
"By exposing Ye Chen's crimes, I'll claim the moral high ground, and then all the heroes will unite to bring him down. I don't believe we can't kill him!"
"This!" said Supreme Master Tian Yu, startled.
Tao Xi Yao's plan was highly feasible and could yield unimaginable effects. A unified action by the heroes of the world would bring about a disaster, even for a Saint, making it impossible for Ye Chen to withstand it.
However, what exactly had Ye Chen done wrong? Was Tao Xi Yao's action too extreme?
For some unknown reason, Supreme Master Tian Yu didn't want Ye Chen to die. This was a very inexplicable, sudden feeling.
"Master, don't worry, I will make sure he is destroyed!" declared Tao Xi Yao.
"... ..."
In the mountains of Baihua Palace, a Pekingese dog was jumping around, startling a group of white cranes.
"Little Qilin, what kind of transformation have you undergone that I can't see through you anymore?" Ye Chen looked at the Pekingese dog running around and noted a peculiar light in his eyes. His martial arts' Heavenly Eye silently activated, looking at the "Pekingese dog."
Ye Chen had ventured into the Void Realm, leaving for more than a year, with Little Qilin left behind in Baihua Palace.
After a year, Ye Chen returned to Baihua Palace only to find that Little Qilin was nowhere to be found!
Ye Chen had been back for half a month, and Little Qilin had never shown up. He had been searching all this time but in vain.
Ye Chen had a subtle connection with Little Qilin, one that was extremely mysterious and directly linked to the soul.
This mysterious connection told Ye Chen that Little Qilin hadn't gone far and was hiding somewhere in Baihua Palace.
For some reason, though, Little Qilin seemed intent on avoiding him, unwilling to meet him!
Since his return, Ye Chen had not only bullied beautiful senior sisters and flirted with beautiful teachers but also actively sought out Little Qilin.
Today, Ye Chen suddenly sensed something, came to a fairy pool amidst green groves, and saw Little Qilin showing its face.
However, the changes in Little Qilin were so significant that even Ye Chen couldn't see through them!
Little Qilin paid no heed to Ye Chen, and Ye Chen couldn't see through Little Qilin, so he had to activate his martial arts' Heavenly Eye to probe.
"What!?" Ye Chen stared with wide eyes, calling out in surprise.
