Chapter 97 – Mei Yongsi sows discord, ‘the world’s dumbest door’

"The mysteries of the Celestial Body Refinement Art are far beyond your imagination."

"If it were merely a body refinement technique, it wouldn't have been passed down in the Xuanwu Nation for so long."

Watching Chen Changsheng reprimand others, Gongsun Huaiyu simply observed with a spectator's mindset, not worried in the slightest that the anger would be directed at her.

After all, she was quite satisfied with her own performance just now.

Although she lost to Ba Tulu, it was because he ambushed her. If they had fought head-on, the outcome would have been uncertain.

Just as Gongsun Huaiyu was calculating her next move, Chen Changsheng's fury turned towards her.

"You're laughing? You still have the nerve to laugh!"

"Among the three of you, you're the worst."

"Your realm is higher than Su Tian's, and the resources you've received are also more than his."

"If I were you, and couldn't knock him to the ground within thirty moves, I'd find a piece of tofu and bash my head against it."

"Do you know why tofu? Because if it doesn't kill you, the shame will."

"Who told you that having a strong body means you must engage in close combat? Don't tell me your specialty is fists and kicks."

"People usually play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, but you do the opposite."

"Why don't you start your own sect? Being this foolish, you'd be a unique figure in the cultivation world."

"I even thought of a name for you: 'The World's Dumbest Sect'!"

Chen Changsheng's words made Gongsun Huaiyu's face flush red.

Though she had been scolded by her master during cultivation, she had never experienced this kind of reprimand!

Chen Changsheng's words not only hit the nail on the head but also varied in style.

At this moment, Gongsun Huaiyu would rather break a few bones than face Chen Changsheng's scolding.

"Ah~"

After successfully making Gongsun Huaiyu hang her head in shame, Chen Changsheng let out a long sigh and then turned his gaze to the third victim.

Facing Chen Changsheng's gaze, Ye Hensheng immediately felt a bit panicked.

At the same time, he quickly reflected on his shortcomings, hoping to admit his mistakes in advance and get scolded less.

"Your issues are significant too, but better than theirs."

"Moreover, your problem isn't entirely your fault, so let's put it aside for now."

"Come to my room tonight; I have something to discuss with you."

Chen Changsheng's sudden gentleness made Ye Hensheng extremely uncomfortable, and even the onlookers were puzzled.

Ignoring everyone's expressions, Chen Changsheng tossed out a wooden puppet.

Golden threads flew from Chen Changsheng's fingers and connected to the puppet.

After manipulating the puppet to perform a few moves, Chen Changsheng beckoned to Mei Yongsi in the distance.

"Just now, I couldn't let you enjoy the fight to the fullest, which was a service failure on my part."

"To make up for your loss, how about I personally entertain you?"

Faced with Chen Changsheng's actions, Mei Yongsi squinted and smiled.

"I had a great time sparring with Brother Ye just now, so let's forget it."

"Do I have to provoke you to make a move?"

Chen Changsheng calmly replied to Mei Yongsi's refusal.

Hearing this, the smile on Mei Yongsi's face disappeared.

"Since Brother Chen warmly invites, I'll risk my life to accompany you, and also take this chance to witness Brother Chen's skills."

With that, Mei Yongsi slowly walked over.

"I didn't get to enjoy myself either; can I join?"

Seeing a fight brewing, Ba Tulu immediately chimed in.

"I only have one puppet; why don't you wait a bit?"

Chen Changsheng's tone was extremely calm, but his gaze changed.

If Li were here, he would surely recognize it as the same look Chen Changsheng had when he annihilated the Thunder Beast clan.

Seeing this look, Ba Tulu discreetly stepped back half a step.

Having dealt with beasts since childhood, Ba Tulu had an acute sense of danger.

"Let's forget it; you seem tired today. Let's reschedule."

Seeing Ba Tulu retreat, Chen Changsheng didn't pursue the matter further.

During the Kunlun Stone House incident, several prodigies had spared Gongsun Huaiyu's life, and Chen Changsheng had kept this in mind.

The reason for letting Su Tian and the others fight outside was to draw these people in.

There were three people who had the chance to kill Gongsun Huaiyu at the time.

These three were Ba Tulu from the Southern Plains, Mei Yongsi from Langya Pavilion, and the Holy Son of Yaoguang, Fu Yao.

After the recent observations, Chen Changsheng had gained some understanding of two of them.

Ba Tulu appeared simple-minded but was actually quite shrewd.

The Seventy-Two Wolf Smokes was a force in the Central Court, and if Gongsun Huaiyu died at his hands, he probably wouldn't leave the Kunlun Sacred Ground alive.

So he always stopped short, both at the Kunlun Stone House and in the recent confrontation.

But Mei Yongsi's situation was different from Ba Tulu's.

Ba Tulu was afraid of stirring up trouble with local powers, but as a successor of Langya Pavilion, Mei Yongsi shouldn't have such concerns.

Langya Pavilion was at odds with the Seventy-Two Wolf Smokes and wasn't afraid of them.

In this context, Mei Yongsi should have aimed to kill Gongsun Huaiyu, but he didn't.

Coupled with his sneaky behavior, Chen Changsheng was certain.

Mei Yongsi knew something and was plotting.

Thinking of this, Chen Changsheng turned his gaze to the Holy Son of Yaoguang on the distant rooftop.

Among the three, Chen Changsheng had some understanding of two, but the Holy Son of Yaoguang remained a mystery.

At this moment, the Holy Son of Yaoguang also noticed Chen Changsheng's gaze.

But facing Chen Changsheng's gaze, the Holy Son of Yaoguang merely smiled slightly and then vanished from sight.

He had no intention of engaging with Chen Changsheng.

"Brother Chen, I'm here to learn."

Mei Yongsi had already approached within ten steps of Chen Changsheng.

Facing the mysterious Chen Changsheng, Mei Yongsi was fully alert.

Glancing at this Kylin prodigy, Chen Changsheng said to Ye Hensheng.

"You have two masters, one is the Wolf Emperor of the Nightmoon Kingdom, and the other is the Unbeaten Daoist of Shangqing Temple."

"Watch closely; the Unbeaten Daoist's fist technique is not meant to be used like that."

With those words, Chen Changsheng controlled the puppet to charge at Mei Yongsi.

"Boom!"

One punch!

With just one punch, the Kylin prodigy of Langya Pavilion was forced back.

Seeing the puppet's fist technique, Mei Yongsi's heart surged with waves of shock.

The puppet's fist technique was the same as the one Ye Hensheng had just used.

But the power was worlds apart. If Mei Yongsi had an eighty percent chance of handling Ye Hensheng's technique, he had less than thirty percent against Chen Changsheng's.

And this was with Chen Changsheng controlling a puppet. If Chen Changsheng personally executed the technique, could he withstand it?
