Chapter 1292: Shaming the Bystanders

Liang Wanru was frantic. She struggled to get up, but that kick was no light matter; she couldn't rise.

Watching the small knife draw closer to Ye Yuan's eyes, Liang Wanru began to sob in desperation.

Zhang Shun and the others could only watch helplessly. This young lady was notorious for her ruthlessness, and this kid dared to provoke her—he must be tired of living.

Catching a glimpse of Liang Wanru's expression from the corner of her eye, Liang Wanrong felt a surge of triumph.

This was the sight of Liang Wanru she most wanted to see.

She hated that usual demeanor of hers, unruffled by favor or disgrace!

Liang Wanrong raised the knife and stabbed down fiercely.

Everyone couldn't bear to watch and turned their heads away.

But after waiting for a long time, they heard no scream from Ye Yuan.

When they looked back, their eyes widened in shock.

Clang!

The knife had been dropped on the ground, and Liang Wanrong's face was now flushed with a springtime glow.

Her eyes were hazy, her cheeks crimson, and her hands began to caress her own body. Her misty eyes stared straight at Zhang Shun, sending a chill down his spine.

Second Miss, you...

Zhang Shun instinctively sensed something was wrong. The Second Miss's behavior was clearly the onset of heat!

Sure enough, the Second Miss dashed to Zhang Shun's side in one swift step, wrapped her arms around his waist, and lifted her head to shower him with frantic kisses.

Brother Shun, Rong'er has liked you for so long! You... you should take Rong'er, okay? Okay?

Liang Wanrong's voice made Zhang Shun's bones melt.

All the guards were utterly dumbfounded. What... what was going on?

To be honest, Liang Wanrong was very beautiful, and with such a seductive manner, how could Zhang Shun not be tempted?

But it was only temptation.

With so many people watching, wasn't that asking for his life?

Zhang Shun's face showed great alarm as he hurriedly tried to push Liang Wanrong away, but she clung to him like a plaster, refusing to let go.

Liang Wanrong's status in the Liang family was extraordinary, and Zhang Shun dared not use force. He was about to go crazy.

What are you standing there for? Why don't you pull the Second Miss away!

Zhang Shun's scalp tingled; he felt no excitement from a beauty throwing herself at him. If word got back to the Liang family and that tigress found out, he was dead.

The guards finally snapped out of it and rushed to pull Liang Wanrong away.

Liang Wanrong struggled fiercely, desperately clutching Zhang Shun's clothes and refusing to let go.

Fortunately, the guards were strong enough; they swarmed in and managed to pull her away.

By now, Liang Wanrong's clothes were disheveled, revealing large patches of snow-white skin on her upper body, making the guards drool.

Brother Shun, Rong'er really likes you. Take Rong'er!

Even though she was restrained, Liang Wanrong still murmured infatuatedly.

Zhang Shun straightened his clothes, walked up to Liang Wanrong, and bowed, saying, "Second Miss, forgive me!"

With that, he struck her neck with the edge of his hand, and Liang Wanrong collapsed to the ground.

Having done this, Zhang Shun walked straight toward Ye Yuan.

After all this commotion, Liang Wanru finally recovered and got up from the ground.

Seeing this, she reached out again to block Ye Yuan's path.

Zhang Shun was taken aback. He made a respectful salute and said, "Miss, you've seen what happened to Second Miss. This fellow is of unknown origin and suspicious—hardly a good person. It's not proper for you to protect him like this, is it?"

Liang Wanru's beautiful eyes flickered. She turned back to glance at Ye Yuan, who looked perfectly at ease. She then turned around and gestured to Zhang Shun.

She pointed at Liang Wanrong, indicating that this matter was Liang Wanrong's fault.

Zhang Shun's head throbbed. He had witnessed the whole affair from start to finish and naturally knew that Liang Wanrong had been looking for trouble.

But while Liang Wanru could say such things, he could not.

He was merely a servant and could only direct his accusations at the mysterious Ye Yuan.

Even so, he couldn't figure out how Ye Yuan had done it.

According to Wuchen, these people were nothing but mortals.

Even if they were mortals at the Daoxuan realm!

When Ye Yuan first heard this theory, he was taken aback.

Wuchen said that in the Tongtian Realm, a martial artist's realm at birth was mostly determined by their parents.

For example, the offspring of two Divine Emperor realm experts would be at least at the Divine Lord realm, and there was even a certain chance of giving birth to a True God realm expert!

Legend had it that some descendants of Divine Emperors were born as Heavenly Venerates!

Being born at the True God realm was already winning at the starting line. The Heavenly Venerate realm was even more inconceivable.

At the time, Ye Yuan found it utterly bewildering.

The offspring of two ordinary Divine realm experts were mostly at the Daoxuan realm.

Of course, the lowest possible was the Daoxuan realm.

The Daoxuan realm was considered mortal in the Tongtian Realm!

The realm that most martial artists in the Xianlin World spent their entire lives pursuing was merely that of a mortal here.

However, in the Tongtian Realm, it was far easier to cultivate to the Divine realm than in the Xianlin World.

Yet even so, the largest population in the Tongtian Realm remained the "mortals."

Among this group, the only Divine realm expert was Zhang Shun.

Thus, although Ye Yuan could not move, using the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye to make Liang Wanrong fall into his trap was less than lifting a finger.

Liang Wanru's protection made things very difficult for Zhang Shun.

"Kid, what exactly did you do to Second Miss?" Zhang Shun's gaze passed over Liang Wanru and fixed on Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan said calmly, "Guard Zhang, don't you misunderstand something? I can't even move now, and I've lost all my divine essence. What do you think I could do? In my opinion, Miss Wanrong must have truly taken a fancy to you, Guard Zhang! Don't sell yourself short—you are, after all, a Dongxuan Divine realm expert, already transcending mortals. Even if something did happen between you and Miss Wanrong, it wouldn't disgrace her."

Zhang Shun's expression darkened. He knew Ye Yuan was talking nonsense.

But Ye Yuan's words sounded so reasonable.

He had been watching Ye Yuan the whole time and was confident that nothing could happen under his nose without his knowledge.

In fact, Ye Yuan had not used any divine essence at all.

After Ye Yuan broke through to the Divine realm, the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye naturally recovered to the divine level.

With his level of cultivation, dealing with a mere mortal required no divine essence whatsoever.

"Hmph! Do you really think I'm so easy to fool? Who else here besides you would target Second Miss?" Zhang Shun snorted coldly.

Ye Yuan smiled. "Guard Zhang, speak with a clear conscience! You say it was me, but do you have any evidence?"

Ye Yuan did not think Zhang Shun knew about the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye. This kind of ocular technique was a matter between two people; outsiders could not detect it.

With Liang Wanru present, Zhang Shun dared not go too far.

After much ado, he could not find a shred of evidence that Ye Yuan had caused Liang Wanrong's madness, so he had to let it go.

In the evening, Liang Wanrong slowly woke up and found the guards around her looking at her strangely.

She suddenly started, recalling the embarrassing scene from earlier that day, and immediately flushed bright red.
