Jun Changxiao wasn’t ugly; he was quite handsome.
So then, why did Xi Jingxuan’s emotions become low, even to the point of going berserk?
Because in her heart, Sect Leader Jun should look one way, not another way.
Born with an eye condition, Xi Jingxuan had never seen anyone. All her understanding was built on the foundation of her own imagination.
She imagined Jun Changxiao having eyes, ears, a nose, and a big head.
In short.
He had human characteristics, but not a human appearance!
When Xi Jingxuan regained her sight and adapted to the light, she vaguely saw Jun Changxiao’s appearance. Comparing it to her imagination and finding a gap, she was greatly disappointed.
Then… her emotions became low, and she went berserk.
To be honest.
Having never seen anyone before, Xi Jingxuan definitely had issues with aesthetics.
Our Sect Leader Jun was absolutely not an ugly person—he just didn’t meet her psychological expectations.
“Because you’re ugly… because you’re ugly…”
The system’s words kept echoing in Jun Changxiao’s ears like swords stabbing his heart repeatedly, causing him spiritual devastation.
You can mock me!
You can humiliate me!
You can say my strength is weak.
But you cannot question my appearance—if handsomeness is a crime, then I’m unforgivably guilty!
Hearing Jun Changxiao’s internal monologue, the system collapsed, “I’ve never seen such a shameless person!”
“Sect Leader Jun?”
Xi Jingxuan said meekly, “Are you alright?”
This woman hadn’t yet realized that her low emotions from seeing his appearance had inflicted millions of tons of mental damage on Sect Leader Jun.
“Phew!”
Jun Changxiao took a long breath, “I’m fine.”
Xi Jingxuan smiled, “Sect Leader Jun, thank you for the medicinal pill. It let me see light, even if only for a brief moment. I’m still very happy.”
When she smiled, she looked very cute.
Also like an innocent girl who knew nothing of worldly affairs.
Jun Changxiao thought, “Both an eye condition and afflicted with a strange illness—heaven has been too unfair to her.”
“Palace Master Xi.”
Jun Changxiao said, “Since you could see light, there’s hope your illness can be cured. So you must have hope for the future and face each day with happiness!”
Since he knew low emotions would cause her to lose rationality, he naturally had to encourage her with inspirational chicken soup.
“Mm!”
Xi Jingxuan smiled, “I will!”
Although it was only brief light, only vaguely seeing the environment in the main hall and seeing Jun Changxiao, it was enough for her to remember forever, impossible to forget.
“Sect Leader Jun.”
Xi Jingxuan smiled, “Coming to Miaohua Palace wasn’t just to deliver medicine, was it?”
“Uh…”
Jun Changxiao scratched his head, “Palace Master Xi, my Iron Bones Sect has recently encountered some trouble. I hope your sect can provide assistance.”
“What trouble?” Xi Jingxuan said.
Jun Changxiao explained everything about Zhenyang Commandery’s invasion and offending two fourth-tier sects.
“What?”
Xi Jingxuan said in surprise, “Sect Leader Jun killed Wuwang?”
“Mm.”
Jun Changxiao said, “Three of them.”
Xi Jingxuan said incredulously, “Could it be that Sect Leader Jun has already broken through to Wuwang?”
“Mm.”
“That’s not right.”
Xi Jingxuan said, “Even if you truly broke through, you couldn’t possibly have killed three Wuwang consecutively!”
“This…”
Jun Changxiao said, “I cultivate both sword and martial arts, and broke through in both simultaneously.”
His tone was very modest, but somehow, after saying these words, they emanated an extremely strong aura of showing off!
“Ah?”
Xi Jingxuan stood up and said incredulously, “Sect Leader Jun is a Dual Wuwang in sword and martial arts?”
“I remember now!”
She added, “Earlier the elders mentioned that a sign of dual Wuwang descending appeared in the firmament. Could it have been Sect Leader Jun breaking through?”
Damn!
The phenomenon from my breakthrough could be seen even at Miaohua Palace?
Doesn’t this mean my magnificent radiance has already covered the entire Xingyun Continent?
Sigh.
I wanted to develop quietly, but why do things go against my wishes!
Since that’s the case, then I’ll be high-profile.
Jun Changxiao shook his head dashingly, very flamboyantly saying, “Indeed, the earlier celestial phenomenon was from my breakthrough.”
“Wow!”
Xi Jingxuan said, “It’s been several thousand years since a Dual Wuwang in sword and martial arts appeared. For Sect Leader Jun to accomplish this is truly exceptional among men!”
If City Lord Xie had said this, Sect Leader Jun would definitely be unfazed. But hearing it from a cute girl’s mouth immediately made him feel quite elated.
People need some vanity.
Not caring about anything, not being moved by anything—that’s definitely a sage.
“However.”
Xi Jingxuan added, “Sect Leader Jun killed Wuwang from two fourth-tier sects. They definitely won’t let this go.”
“That’s why I could only seek Palace Master Xi’s help,” Jun Changxiao said.
Xi Jingxuan said, “Since Iron Bones Sect is in difficulty, I naturally won’t stand by and watch.”
This woman was also decisive and swift. She immediately went to the main hall, summoned all the elders, and informed them of the matter.
Changsun Fanghua and Leng Xingyue naturally opposed.
In their view, making enemies with two fourth-grade sects for the sake of one Iron Bones Sect was extremely unwise!
“Elders.”
Sitting in the seat of honor, Xi Jingxuan said, “My mind is made up.”
Very forceful, very commanding.
The elders fell silent, only able to obey the Palace Master’s order to assist Iron Bones Sect.
How to assist?
Xi Jingxuan not only would personally go, she would also bring thousands of disciples, and even the Grand Elder and Second Elder had to accompany her.
This lineup was luxurious indeed.
“Sect Leader Jun.”
Xi Jingxuan said, “I’ll depart now and arrive at Iron Bones Sect in half a month.”
Jun Changxiao cupped his fists earnestly, “Thank you for Palace Master Xi’s assistance. Jun will remember this gratitude. In the future, if Iron Bones Sect can be of use, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!”
Xi Jingxuan smiled, “Sect Leader Jun pointed out my martial arts at Mount Hua and traveled thousands of miles to deliver medicine. Now that your sect is in difficulty, providing assistance is only natural.”
“Jun will take his leave first and await Palace Master Xi at the sect.” Jun Changxiao rode the Hurricane Wolf King and departed first to return to Iron Bones Sect.
Although Miaohua Palace didn’t send a Wuhuang, it still made him extremely relieved. Because as long as Palace Master Xi stood on the city tower, she would definitely have deterrent power!
“Palace Master.”
After watching Jun Changxiao leave, Changsun Fanghua couldn’t help but say, “Going to assist Iron Bones Sect doesn’t just offend two fourth-tier sects—we’ll also offend Zhenyang Commandery.”
“The Commandery Governor of Zhenyang is a very ambitious person. Offending him is truly unwise!” Leng Xingyue said.
Xi Jingxuan said, “I know both elders are thinking of the sect, but have you considered that Jun Changxiao is also quite ambitious?”
Changsun Fanghua said indifferently, “Just a small sect master—even with ambition, how could he make waves?”
Xi Jingxuan shook her head, “I won’t be mistaken. Jun Changxiao and his Iron Bones Sect will definitely hold a pivotal position on Xingyun Continent in the future.”
She didn’t look with her eyes but with her heart.
To be precise.
This time personally going to provide assistance was betting that she hadn’t misjudged, betting on Iron Bones Sect’s future.
One day, when he and his sect had absolute strength and established themselves on Xingyun Continent, Miaohua Palace would definitely benefit as well.
From obscurity to becoming the most dazzling presence in the martial world, challenging Sacred Spring Sect, then battling the evil sects of Huayang Commandery, and now breaking through to Dual Wuwang in sword and martial arts.
All these things—the Miaohua Palace elders could pretend not to see them, but as Palace Master, Xi Jingxuan had to see them.
She couldn’t act on emotion but had to consider from multiple angles.
Since Jun Changxiao and his sect had great potential, she naturally had to establish relations.
Therefore, Xi Jingxuan going to assist Iron Bones Sect was absolutely not because she had good feelings toward Sect Leader Jun, but because she had her own considerations and plans.
“Sect Leader Jun.”
On the road to Iron Bones Sect, Xi Jingxuan thought silently, “Don’t disappoint me.”
