The banner, with its white background and red characters, was extremely eye-catching.
Everyone passing through the square could see it clearly.
Those who saw the line of text were all speculating about who Evan Chen was and what kind of celestial rule he had violated to warrant such a large banner from Sky Moon Cave.
Evan Chen’s face darkened, clinging to a sliver of hope in his heart, muttering, “There are at least eighty thousand, if not a hundred thousand, people named Evan Chen in the Immortal World. It’s just a coincidence.”
Olivia Zhong laughed, “It would have been better if you hadn’t said anything. Now that you did, it’s almost certain that it’s referring to you and dogs not being allowed inside.”
Evan’s eyelid twitched, too angry to speak, and he silently noted this mockery, planning to add it to his “Revenge Journal” later.
At this moment, Alex Li and an elder locked onto Evan Chen’s aura in the crowd and approached him.
“Uncle Wu, this is my childhood friend, named Olivia. I hope you can make an exception for her,” Alex Li introduced Olivia to the elder, ignoring Evan Chen.
Seeing this, Olivia immediately bowed to the elder, intentionally displaying a nervous and respectful demeanor, “Brother Alex, Uncle Wu, Little Olivia greets you.”
Seeing Olivia pretending to be innocent, Alex Li felt nauseous. However, since she was a Profound Immortal-level demonic cultivator, even his own backer, the third elder, couldn’t be her match, so he naturally didn’t dare to play any tricks.
The elder sized up Olivia and nodded slightly, but was inwardly delighted.
This girl turned out to have the True Spirit Body of Heaven and Earth, which was considered top-tier talent in the entire Immortal Cultivation world!
The elder had no idea that Olivia had been mingling in the major Holy Lands of the righteous path for years and had many ways to fake her talent.
Of course, Olivia’s actual talent was much stronger than the True Spirit Body of Heaven and Earth, but it was inconvenient to show it.
“Girl, you and Nephew Li can come up the mountain with me.”
Olivia’s face lit up with joy, and tears glistened in her eyes, “Thank you, Uncle Wu. Your great kindness will never be forgotten.”
With so many people around, it wasn’t convenient to say much. The third elder just nodded faintly.
Evan Chen, standing to the side, was extremely depressed.
Just one sentence and it’s settled?!
Having a backer is really something, huh?
What should I do now?
Alex Li, that scoundrel, seems to have really sent the Female Demon into Sky Moon Cave. Will she kill me later?
The thought of the Female Demon killing him made Evan’s scalp tingle.
“Uncle Wu, this is Evan Chen, Young Master Chen.”
Evan Chen didn’t expect Alex Li to bring him up proactively.
“Greetings, Elder.”
Evan Chen held onto a sliver of hope. Could it be that Alex Li had a change of heart and would introduce him in as well?
“Hmph.”
The third elder snorted coldly.
“Boy, Miss Sophia is looking to catch you. If you don’t run now, it’ll be too late.”
Evan Chen’s body stiffened.
Someone wants to catch me? Why, for what reason?
“May I ask, Elder, who is Sophia and why does she want to trouble me?”
The third elder ignored Evan Chen, calling Alex Li and Olivia to leave.
“Who is Evan Chen? Get out here!”
Suddenly, a woman in purple clothes soared above the crowd, shouting.
Evan Chen rolled his eyes. This woman didn’t come with good intentions; it’s better to slip away.
So, Evan Chen shrank back and squeezed into the crowd.
“Evan Chen, I’m calling you. Why aren’t you answering?”
Unexpectedly, Alex Li grabbed Evan Chen’s shoulder and shouted loudly on purpose.
“You son of a…”
Evan Chen turned around, ready to curse, but was silenced by a cold, fierce glare from the third elder.
Helpless, Evan Chen broke free from Alex Li and tried to escape into the crowd.
Unfortunately, a red ribbon shot through the air, firmly binding Evan Chen.
Struggling in vain, Evan saw the woman in purple already in front of him.
“Greetings, Miss.”
The third elder bowed to the woman.
The woman stared directly at Evan Chen, speaking coldly, “You were the one who delivered the letter yesterday. Are you Evan Chen?”
Evan Chen knew there was no point in denying it. He braced himself and said, “If it was a letter to Master Nangong, then yes, I had someone deliver it.”
The woman snorted coldly, “Someone like you will never set foot in my Sky Moon Cave!”
Evan Chen sighed helplessly, “If I’m not allowed in, I won’t go in. Could you please let me go?”
The woman’s eyes narrowed, “Let you go? Not so easily!”
Evan Chen was on the verge of tears. What did James Li do to offend this woman? It was just a letter of introduction, was this really necessary?
“Miss, please don’t be impulsive. We have no past grievances or recent enmity. You wouldn’t kill me, would you?” Evan Chen asked.
“Kill you? That would only dirty my sword. But humiliating you is another matter. I want to carve the word ‘scoundrel’ on your face,” the woman suddenly laughed.
“Leave a line when doing things, so we can meet again in the future. Why go to such lengths?” Evan Chen said bitterly, ready to use the Supreme Shield of Heaven to try to escape.
At this moment, everyone was drawn to the scene, pointing and watching the drama unfold.
The happiest person was Alex Li.
As for Olivia, she hated Evan Chen to the core, but seeing him in danger, she couldn’t help but feel an urge to rescue him. Fortunately, she managed to suppress that impulse for now.
“Stop talking. Who told you to come here and act like a fool?”
With that, the woman brought her two fingers together, forming a transparent sword with her Immortal Power, ready to carve words on Evan Chen’s face.
Evan Chen’s mind raced. If he couldn’t resist, he could always escape to the Lower Realm for a few hours.
“Sophia, stop! Do not disrespect my Little Uncle!”
Accompanied by a voice that echoed through the square, a figure appeared behind the woman as if teleporting.
“Mother? Why are you here!”
The woman named Sophia was taken aback.
“Hmph, if I hadn’t come, would you have dared to defy your superior and bully your Little Uncle?”
“What nonsense Little Uncle, he doesn’t deserve it!”
“Do not speak nonsense.”
The woman lightly scolded, releasing a wave of Immortal Power to untie the red ribbon binding Evan Chen.
“Laura Nangong greets Little Uncle. I apologize for the fright.”
Laura Nangong bowed slightly to Evan Chen.
The turn of events left everyone astonished.
That guy’s status suddenly changed from being on par with a dog to being the Little Uncle of Master Nangong?
It was hard to wrap their heads around it.
Not to mention everyone else, even Evan Chen himself was bewildered.
“This… no need, no need. Since the misunderstanding is cleared up, I’ll take my leave now. No need to see me off.”
Evan Chen, not understanding the situation, decided to leave first.
“Little Uncle, please wait.” Laura Nangong blocked Evan Chen’s path, “I have a few words I’d like to speak with you alone.”
Seeing the situation, Evan Chen realized she wasn’t going to let him go easily.
However, Laura Nangong’s attitude was decent, so it shouldn’t be dangerous. A few words wouldn’t hurt.
Seeing this, Alex Li’s face turned green. He had thought Evan Chen was doomed, but who knew he was really Master Nangong’s Little Uncle!
He regretted provoking him.
Alex Li hid behind the third elder, trying to minimize his presence, hoping Evan Chen wouldn’t trouble him.
“By the way, Master Nangong, I have something to report!”
What does it mean for things to go awry?
Before leaving with Laura Nangong, Evan Chen suddenly spoke up.
“What is it?” Laura Nangong asked.
“There’s a guy named Alex Li who used connections and bribed a certain elder to get a guaranteed entry into the sect!”
After Evan Chen spoke, Laura Nangong’s gaze naturally fell on the third elder.
She coldly reprimanded, “Third Elder, investigate thoroughly. Find out who dared to tarnish the reputation of my Sky Moon Cave. If there’s any cover-up, you’ll bear the consequences.”
At this moment, Evan Chen felt four murderous glares directed at him.
Then, under Laura Nangong’s Immortal Power protection, Evan Chen flew up Mount Nine Splendid with her.
“Shameless scoundrel, don’t think you’ll have a good life just because my mother is protecting you!” Sophia gritted her teeth, glaring at Evan Chen’s departing figure.
“That fool, daring to ruin my plans. I’ll kill you sooner or later!” This was Olivia’s resentment.
“Evan Chen, you bastard, if I can’t get in, I’ll haunt you even as a ghost.” Alex Li shouted with hatred.
“This little brat, I didn’t even offend you, and you dare expose me. I’m furious! I’ll fight you to the end!” The third elder’s eyes bulged with anger.
