The Strongest Mad Son-in-law

Yuan Yujun put on a pitiful look, almost miserably, and said in a weak voice, "Sister Zhou, okay, it was my misunderstanding, you didn't curse at me, right?"

Seeing her act so pitiful again, Zhou Shuran became furious, almost tempted to rush up and beat her.

But she knew that she mustn't engage in a fight with her now, or she would fall into her trap.

Zhou Shuran was not one to be trifled with either. She suddenly smiled and said, "Junior Sister Yuan, you're joking. If I've done something bad to you, just say it directly. We're all our own people here. If you speak up, I can change, okay?"

Xu Hao silently thought to himself that both women were not simple. Yuan Yujun was being turned around by Zhou Shuran.

If she didn't speak up, some people might think she's making a mountain out of a molehill, and perhaps Zhou Shuran didn't curse at her, but she was slandering Zhou Shuran herself. But if she did speak up, she wouldn't have any evidence and people might think she's petty, and eventually, other Xuanmen disciples would distance themselves from her.

Ah, women are so complicated!

But Xu Hao forgot that if he could understand a woman's heart, wouldn't that make him even more complex?

Yuan Yujun didn't expect Zhou Shuran to directly give in. She panicked slightly and hurriedly put on a surprised look, saying, "Sister Zhou, since you have apologized, I definitely won't dwell on this anymore. After all, admitting mistakes and correcting them is a great virtue!"

The other two Xuanmen disciples on Zhou Shuran's side couldn't hold back and said, "It was clearly you who insisted on leaving us, and now you're blaming Sister Zhou? Moreover, Sister Zhou didn't curse at you at all; you're just making false accusations."

Seeing the two help to testify, Zhou Shuran immediately showed a grateful expression. Yuan Yujun was smearing herself, aiming to disgust her if she couldn't completely clean herself.

Yuan Yujun spoke sarcastically, "Oh my, Sister Zhou is indeed Sister Zhou; her influence is something that a lowly disciple like me cannot compare to. Since you all say she didn't curse at me, then let's say she didn't curse at me."

The Xuan Sect Leader and others didn't know whom to believe. Yuan Yujun's reputation in the sect wasn't particularly bad, and Zhou Shuran didn't seem like a malicious person either.

But honestly speaking, Zhou Shuran does have her spoiled temperament. At that critical moment, Yuan Yujun chose another escape route. If Zhou Shuran was extremely angry and cursed at Yuan Yujun, it seemed normal as well.

"Haha, alright, don't dwell on such a trivial matter. Fifth Elder, shouldn't you fulfill your gambling wager now?" Xu Hao stood up to change the subject again, clearly seeing Yuan Yujun was deliberately causing trouble. Xu Hao could tell at a glance that the more this was explained, the worse it got, so it's better not to defend it and let things clarify themselves.

Everyone's gaze instantly turned to the silent Fifth Elder who had walked over.

They all understood what was going on, so the looks directed at the Fifth Elder were filled with contempt and pity.

Fifth Elder was indeed bringing this upon herself.

Upon hearing Xu Hao's words, Fifth Elder said, "Xu Hao, I admit I originally had some bias against you, but it was due to my lack of understanding of you. Now I admire your strength greatly, and I promise I will never trouble you again. Please let me off this once."

She started begging for mercy.

To kneel down and apologize to Xu Hao, calling him 'father,' would indeed be humiliating. If word spread, how could she live afterward?

Doesn't she care about her reputation?

Xu Hao chuckled lightly, "What? Trying to back out? You should know that no one who's ever bet with me has dared to renege. If you back out, I'll consider it as mocking me, and my Fengyi Sword wouldn't be happy."

A cold gleam flashed, reflecting in Fifth Elder's eyes.

Her expression changed drastically; she didn't expect Xu Hao to be this serious, and it was clear the Xuan Sect Leader and others were not planning to speak for her, leaving her very helpless.

Yuan Yujun didn't know what was going on, but seeing Xu Hao bullying Fifth Elder like this, she became slightly displeased and said, "Xu Hao, can't this matter be discussed calmly? Why are you pushing my Fifth Elder so hard?"

Xu Hao coldly looked at her and said, "This has nothing to do with you. If you dare to say another word, I will make you pay dearly."

Xu Hao's words carried a heavy sense of threat, causing Yuan Yujun to feel extremely uncomfortable.

Many Xuanmen disciples who disliked her rejoiced, some even covered their mouths with a laugh.

She dared to defy Xu Hao's words? Who didn't know Xu Hao always means what he says!

Zhou Shuran felt a slight warmth in her heart, thinking Xu Hao must be helping her take revenge on Yuan Yujun.
