WDQK: Divorcing Ling Qingzhu

"Eight Yuan Nirvana Realm!"

Ling Qingzhu couldn't believe it—within less than a year, her junior apprentice brother had reached such a high level!

How did he cultivate so quickly? [Ding, Ling Qingzhu feels shock, astonishment, disbelief. Emotion Value +500]

"Stop this instant!"

Just as the sword was about to strike Ling Qingzhu, a familiar voice echoed in Chen Xuan's ear.

At the same time, a powerful force formed a strong energy barrier in front of Ling Qingzhu, blocking Chen Xuan's attack.

Chen Xuan sneered, looking in a certain direction. "So, you've finally decided to show yourself?"

"You realized I was here all along?"

A ripple appeared in the air, and soon, the figure of a middle-aged woman, Shen Qing, materialized.

As soon as she appeared, she waved her hand, encasing the three women beside Chen Xuan in a powerful energy field, keeping them isolated from the conversation that was about to unfold among the three of them.

If not for Chen Xuan's presence, she would have already dealt with those three!

No need for this formality!

Seeing her, Ling Qingzhu immediately looked aggrieved and cried, "Master!"

"Qingzhu, I told you not to go to the Great Yan Dynasty, didn't I?" Shen Qing wanted to reprimand her disciple, but seeing her pitiful expression, her heart softened.

Ling Qingzhu sobbed, "Master, I only came to warn Junior Brother Chen out of kindness, but instead of showing gratitude, he... he wanted to kill me!"

[Ding, Ling Qingzhu feels grievance. Emotion Value +100]

What a reversal of the facts!

She didn't mention any of her past actions, framing herself as the victim and shifting all the blame to Chen Xuan.

Shen Qing patted her shoulder and turned to Chen Xuan. "Chen Xuan, Qingzhu is not only your senior sister; she's your wife. How can you act this way?"

"Wife?" Chen Xuan let out a laugh of frustration. "Palace Master, you must be mistaken! I already gave her a letter of divorce. We're no longer married!"

Hearing her former disciple's formal tone instead of calling her "Master," Shen Qing felt a pang of hurt and clenched her fist beneath her sleeve.

Still, she persisted gently, "Chen Xuan, there's a saying: 'A hundred days of marital bonds last a lifetime.' The two of you were married for over a year!"

"If you're here to reconcile us, I suggest you remain silent," Chen Xuan retorted bluntly.

Shen Qing furrowed her brows, clenched her teeth, and continued, "How about this? If you forgive Qingzhu, I'll let you choose some of your other senior and junior sisters in the palace. Would that satisfy you?"

She thought Chen Xuan harbored resentment because he never fully won over Ling Qingzhu.

By offering him more companions, he might let go of his grievances. But to her surprise, Chen Xuan coldly shook his head.

"Palace Master, who do you take me for—a fool or a cuckold?"

She had been with another man after he had repeatedly warned her not to leave the palace. Who could forgive that?

Shen Qing faltered, realizing her young disciple's resolve and that even beauty couldn't sway him.

Feeling she had no other options, Ling Qingzhu cried, "Junior Brother Chen, didn't I tell you? I was forced into it!"

"Forced into it?" Chen Xuan scoffed. "And?"

Ling Qingzhu, thinking he was softening, emphasized, "You must believe me; you can't blame me for this."

Unmoved, Chen Xuan sneered, "Didn't you say you killed him? Then why is he still alive?"

"This..."

Ling Qingzhu was speechless.

She had taken pity on him and spared him, yet this mercy had now become a roadblock to reconciliation with Chen Xuan.

Seeing her dishonesty, Shen Qing felt a mix of disbelief and disappointment.

"Master, I…," Ling Qingzhu's eyes wavered as she clenched her hands.

Finally, Ling Qingzhu offered, "You don't have to worry, Junior Brother. If you come back with us to the the Palace, I'll find him and kill him myself!"

"No need," Chen Xuan replied icily.

Ling Qingzhu continued, "If you don't trust me, Master can do it for you!"

"Leave now, while I'm still willing to let you."

Shen Qing's gaze flickered. "Chen Xuan, today, you must come back to the Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace!"

"And if I refuse?"

Shen Qing narrowed her eyes. "Then don't blame me for using force!"

With an explosion of energy, she leveled the entire Thousand Gold Auction House, shocking the people of Yan City.

"No good! A fight between superpower cultivators has broken out at the Thousand Gold Auction House!"

The entire Yan City was in chaos.

In the ruins, Chen Xuan stood firm, his energy flowing, and his sword at the ready.

Watching from the shadows, Lu Feng cursed in frustration, "Damn it! Shen Qing beat me to it!"

"Rebellious disciple, do you dare raise a hand against me?" Shen Qing demanded.

"Palace Master, the bond between us is broken. Out of respect, I'm willing to spare you, but she stays."

Chen Xuan pointed his sword at Ling Qingzhu, a glint of murderous intent in his eyes.

Seeing he was serious, Shen Qing began to feel nervous. She knew Chen Xuan had a power that allowed him to temporarily boost his strength and even kill Samsara Realm experts. She couldn't guarantee he would show her mercy if provoked.

[Ding, Shen Qing feels fear, hesitation, and killing intent. Emotion Value +300]

Ling Qingzhu then spoke softly to her master, "If Junior Brother wants to kill me, let him. If it brings him peace, I am willing."
