After Defying the Villain’s Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!

Chapter 8

Several days later, Jiang Chen appeared at the gates of Ninth Peak.

He was still dressed in black, with a smirk that was not quite a smile, his gaze lingering on the female disciples coming and going.

Two underlings followed behind Jiang Chen while nodding and bowing, their faces full of flattery.

“Eldest Senior Brother is truly Eldest Senior Brother. You can even peek at Jiang Lianyue bathing without severe punishment.”

“Correct your words! Was that peeking? It was clearly Jiang Lianyue seducing Eldest Senior Brother, so he had no choice but to comply!”

“Ah, look at my mouth! Please forgive me, Eldest Senior Brother. You know I’m too blunt and not good with words.”

“Speaking of which, Eldest Senior Brother is truly awesome! The Core Formation was destroyed, but in just half a month, Eldest Senior Brother has returned to the Core Formation Realm! Such talent is truly one in ten thousand!”

“One in ten thousand? He’s clearly got the bearing of a great emperor!”

“Do you think I don’t know that? Tone it down, will you? Eldest Senior Brother prefers to keep a low profile. Won’t the whole world know if you keep talking like this?”

The two underlings kept up their flattery, and Jiang Chen listened with relish, completely immersed in their praise.

He wasn’t actually bursting with vanity. He just thought these two had a way with words and could even go on to perform in grand operas.

“Eldest Senior Brother, your Junior Brother is ignorant. Why are we standing here?”

The underling on the right suddenly asked.

Jiang Chen immediately gave him a disdainful look after hearing this.

Of course, he was here so that everyone at Ninth Peak could see that their Eldest Senior Brother had returned!

Just as Jiang Chen intended, he could better establish his villainous persona that way.

When the disciples entering and leaving Ninth Peak saw him, they all froze for a moment and looks of shock appeared in their eyes.

Obviously, Jiang Chen’s rapid return to the Core Formation Realm had exceeded almost everyone’s expectations.

After a brief moment of astonishment, the disciples gritted their teeth and stepped forward, bowing and saying,

“We’ve seen Eldest Senior Brother.”

Only after receiving Jiang Chen’s nod did these disciples dare to quickly walk away and breathe a sigh of relief.

The incident from last time was still fresh in their minds.

The Second Senior Brother had been severely injured for failing to greet Eldest Senior Brother and was still bedridden to this day!

“Damn it, life is going to be tough from now on.”

As they left, the disciples couldn’t help but grumble inwardly.

“You. What are you staring at? I’m talking to you! Come here!”

Jiang Chen randomly pointed at a disciple and shouted.

The disciple he pointed at was a newly admitted one, thin and with delicate features.

First, he pointed to his own nose to make sure if Jiang Chen was speaking to him.

The disciple then reluctantly stepped forward and bowed, saying, “What would Eldest Senior Brother like to command?”

“Did you just curse me in your heart?”

Jiang Chen asked, narrowing his eyes.

“How did… That’s impossible!”

The newly initiated disciple was startled, quickly changing his tone:

“I have no such thoughts! I think Eldest Senior Brother is kind and self-disciplined. My admiration for Eldest Senior Brother is like a raging river, impossible to stop! Whenever I see Eldest Senior Brother, I always…”

At this point, the new disciple’s expression faltered, and he even let out a slight sob.

“Crying?”

Jiang Chen pressed with a blink.

“It’s because I always think of my late father! To me, Eldest Senior Brother is like a brother and a father! Though not related by blood, you are closer than family to me!”

The new disciple covered his face, finally breaking into tears.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen was baffled. He had never expected this.

He didn’t anticipate that this batch of Ninth Peak disciples would be so eloquent! And their crying seemed so genuine!

Through the gaps between his fingers, the new disciple caught Jiang Chen’s expression and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

Ever since he learned that the second Senior Brother had been beaten, he had been practicing the words he just spoke every day so he could use them at the crucial moment!

Judging by Jiang Chen’s expression, it seemed he had passed the test for today.

The wicked will get their due, sooner or later you will be stripped of your cultivation and expelled from the sect!

He also silently cursed in his heart.

“How dare you?”

Jiang Chen suddenly erupted in anger,

“Seeing me reminds you of your deceased father? Dare to curse me to die? Hey, beat him up!”

【Host’s actions conform to the villain’s character setting, pill refining experience points +10%】

The new disciple was dumbfounded.

Could that even be a reason for him to be beaten?

He wanted to explain himself, but as soon as Jiang Chen’s two lackeys heard the order, they rolled up their sleeves and rushed over, swiftly leaving him with a bruised nose and a swollen face.

“Haha, get lost.”

Jiang Chen waved his hand, letting out the trademark laugh of a villain.

As if granted amnesty, the new disciple immediately scrambled away.

“Eldest Senior Brother is awesome. You could tell right away that the new disciple had ill intentions!”

The slightly taller lackey gave a thumbs up.

Another disciple was about to agree when his pupils suddenly shrank.

In the distance at the gate of the peak, a young girl in a white cloud glaze dress with her black hair coiled up approached, her stunningly beautiful face covered in frost.

The girl moved gracefully, her slender legs accentuating her enchanting figure, so beautiful it was almost otherworldly.

“Jiang Lianyue…”

Jiang Chen’s pupils constricted.

Seeing Jiang Lianyue, he wasn’t surprised. After all, this was the gate of the peak, and anyone could appear.

He was just puzzled.

Although Jiang Lianyue usually had an aloof demeanor, she had never been as cold as she was now.

The icy aura emanating from her was like a glacier of ten thousand years, just one glance was enough to make one feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

“Eldest Senior Brother, seeing Jiang Lianyue’s demeanor, I fear she does not come with good intentions!”

The lackey warned.

Jiang Chen thought the same and prepared to leave!

He hadn’t forgotten that he still had some of her personal items.

What if Jiang Lianyue was here to claim them, should he give them to her or not?

If he gave them up, it would mean losing face as a villain under the watchful eyes of others.

Even if he doesn’t give in, it seems he can’t refuse.

After all, although Jiang Chen has re-entered the Core Formation Realm, he is only at the Initial Formation stage of his Core Formation, and he’s no match for Jiang Lianyue, who possesses the cultivation of the Human Origin!

After glancing indifferently at Jiang Lianyue, Jiang Chen turned and headed back to his peak.

Seeing this, a look of urgency flashed in Jiang Lianyue’s eyes, and the frost on her face suddenly melted.

She had been handling affairs on another peak today, but as soon as she heard that Jiang Chen had recovered and appeared at the Ninth Peak, she rushed over immediately.

Her purpose was to take another look at Jiang Chen and to have a conversation with him.

But Jiang Chen’s aloofness and decisiveness when he turned away pained her heart so much that she couldn’t bring herself to utter the words she wanted to say.

She knew that the current Eldest Senior Brother must dislike her.

If there was anyone to blame, it was herself for hurting him too deeply.

During this time, Jiang Lianyue had considered telling the Eldest Senior Brother that she knew everything.

But in the end, she dismissed the idea.

“Let the Eldest Senior Brother live as he wishes in this life. No one and nothing should affect him.”

Jiang Lianyue murmured silently in her heart.

Just as she sighed softly and was about to leave as well.

“Nephew Jiang, don’t be in such a hurry to leave!”

A voice tinged with mockery rang out.

Following the voice, a cold light suddenly burst forth in Jiang Lianyue’s beautiful eyes!

A strong murderous intent filled her mind, spreading to her limbs and causing her entire body to tremble uncontrollably!
