Chapter 27: Confrontation
At the same moment, Ouyang Ye was searching everywhere within the Cloudy Rosy Heaven Sect for Li Sen.
Upon learning that the spirit field planted by Gu Qingfeng had been destroyed by several outer sect disciples, she immediately suspected Li Sen’s involvement. Despite searching for him for over half an hour without success, she finally learned that Li Sen was at Xiao Xiang Courtyard and hurried there.
Arriving at a courtyard, she kicked open the door without a word. As expected, she found Li Sen and Yun Hong enjoying drinks and laughter, with Ye Hui seated flirtatiously on Yun Hong’s lap.
Caught off guard by Ouyang Ye’s sudden appearance, Ye Hui mockingly said, “Isn’t this Junior Sister Ouyang? What brings you here today? Aren’t you supposed to be with your esteemed Crimson Flame Young Master?”
Emphasizing the phrase ‘Crimson Flame Young Master’ with a heavy sarcasm, Ye Hui then sneered, “Oh, how could I forget? Your Crimson Flame Young Master seems to have… failed his Foundation Establishment… becoming a rare failure at that… As your senior, I haven’t had the chance to congratulate you yet… Hehehe…”
Bursting into laughter, Ye Hui looked at Ouyang Ye mockingly.
Ouyang Ye glared furiously but chose to ignore Ye Hui, turning her attention to Li Sen, she demanded, “Li Sen, tell me, did you order someone to destroy Gu Qingfeng’s spirit field?”
“Gu Qingfeng?”
Holding a wine cup, Li Sen’s lips curled into a smile, “Ah, you mean the Crimson Flame Young Master? Yes, I was the one who arranged it.”
“Indeed, it was you!”
Ouyang Ye shouted angrily, “If you have an issue, take it up with me. Why involve him? He hasn’t wronged you!”
“Hasn’t wronged me? I’m sorry, but he has since the moment he caught your eye,” Li Sen retorted coldly, his eyes flashing with sinister intent. “I’ve always made it clear: anyone who dares to be your dao companion is crossing paths with me, Li Sen. It doesn’t matter whether he’s a crippled cultivator or the so-called ‘Crimson Flame Young Master’, I’ll turn him from a dragon to a worm.”
Ouyang Ye’s anger flared, “You wouldn’t dare!”
“Ouyang Ye, you should know what kind of person I am. I always mean what I say. I advise you to break off your relationship with him. Send him away, far away. Today, I merely destroyed his spirit field as a small warning. If he doesn’t leave by tomorrow, I will turn him from a mere Foundation Establishment failure into a complete cripple. And you know I can do it.”
“You!”
Ouyang Ye clenched her teeth in rage.
Indeed!
She knew.
She knew Li Sen was capable of doing it.
As the seventh son of the Li Clan of the Qingyang Region, a prominent and powerful family, Li Sen had always been a tyrant in the Cloudy Rosy Heaven Sect, backed by the considerable influence of his Clan. Within the sect, there were more than ten disciples from the Li Clan, including inner sect and core disciples, enforcers of the seven great courtyards, and even some elders…
Li Sen’s ability to act so domineeringly in the sect was largely due to his clans’ power. Over the years, almost no one who offended him had ended well.
Perhaps sensing Ouyang Ye’s apprehension, Li Sen’s tone softened slightly, “Ye Ye, you understand my feelings for you. If you agree to be with me, I will make you happy and spare Gu Qingfeng.”
“Li Sen, don’t think you can do whatever you want just because your Li clan has some power,” Ouyang Ye said, her gaze icy as she looked at him. “I warn you, if you dare harm a hair on Gu Qingfeng, I will never let you off!”
Hearing this, Li Sen slammed his wine cup to the ground in a rage, “I don’t understand what that waste has that I don’t! What is he besides a mere musician? He’s got nothing! He was even expelled from his family, with nowhere to go but to rely on you. Why do you need such a worthless person!”
“Don’t understand?” Ouyang Ye laughed coldly, “I’ll make it clear today. Just seeing you makes me sick to my stomach!”
With a fierce aura, Li Sen prepared to teach Ouyang Ye a lesson, his spiritual energy surging within him. But as he raised his hand, he stopped, unable to bring himself to strike her.
He dared not.
It wasn’t just because of his feelings for Ouyang Ye; her complex background also made him wary.
Watching the woman he loved walk away, Li Sen took a deep breath, closing his eyes and gritting his teeth. When he opened them again, his eyes were filled with venomous hatred. He spoke deliberately, each word dripping with malice.
“Fine! Fine! Fine! Ouyang Ye, since you are so fond of that worthless man, I’ll make him completely useless and see if you’ll still like him then.”
Leaving Misty Rain Courtyard, Ouyang Ye’s expression was extremely troubled, deeply worried.
The rumors and gossip had already been a headache for her, and now there was Li Sen, who disgusted her even more!
Thinking back to Li Sen’s words, Ouyang Ye hastened her steps, feeling an urgent need to send Gu Qingfeng away, as far as possible. She feared that if Gu Qingfeng suffered because of her, she would never forgive herself.
Her regret deepened with every step, regretting to the point of despair.
If she hadn’t found Gu Qingfeng at First Rate Villa to pretend to be the Crimson Flame Young Master, none of this would have happened.
She despised herself, wishing she could strangle herself for her decisions.
If she could turn back time, she would rather have faced humiliation at First Rate Villa than have asked Gu Qingfeng to impersonate the Crimson Flame Young Master!
Just after leaving Xiao Xiang Courtyard and planning to head to the back mountain, Ouyang Ye was stopped by someone.
A woman.
Her senior sister, Tan Siru.
“Junior Sister, you’ve disappointed me greatly. I didn’t say anything when you sneaked out yesterday, but today, you’ve done it again. Do you even consider me your senior sister? Have you taken Master’s words to heart at all?”
“Senior Sister… I know I’m wrong… But I must do something right now, I promise to cultivate in seclusion once I’m back!”
Ouyang Ye turned to leave, but her senior sister stopped her again.
Tan Siru was resolute, “No, you must come back with me now!”
“Senior Sister, this is a matter of life and death, please let me go!” Seeing that her senior sister was unmoved, Ouyang Ye shared her concerns, but her senior sister remained indifferent, “This is the Cloudy Rosy Heaven Sect; Li Sen can’t just do as he pleases. He’s just talking big.”
“Senior Sister! You know Li Sen is capable of doing anything!”
After a moment of thought, Tan Siru said, “Alright, I’ll help send that Gu person away.”
“Senior Sister… I…”
“Junior Sister, this is the biggest concession I can make. Besides, I’ll be sending him away personally, so you can rest assured.”
Tan Siru thought it was a good opportunity to send Gu Qingfeng far away and to make sure her junior sister didn’t know where, cutting off her attachment.
At this moment, several young female disciples rushed over, exclaiming, “Senior Sister Ouyang Ye, something terrible has happened… your Crimson Flame Young Master… he… he beat up Wang Kui and several other outer sect brothers… and he did it brutally…”
