Standing in front of the chair, Xi Jingxuan was enveloped in red attributes, and though her visible eye was hollow, it emanated endless killing intent.
That feeling was like a beast that had lost consciousness, making one’s hair stand on end and scalp tingle!
Jun Changxiao was immediately dumbfounded.
A perfectly fine cute girl suddenly became so terrifying!
The Miaohua Palace elders who had just rushed in almost couldn’t help but curse when they heard him ask what was going on.
In the main hall, only you and the Palace Master were present.
Now that she’s gone berserk, you’re asking us what’s happening—who should we ask!
“Jun Changxiao!”
Changsun Fanghua said angrily, “What exactly happened!”
The Fifth Elder seemed to think of something and said, “Could it be that consuming the medicinal pill from just now caused the Palace Master to enter a berserk state!”
“Damn it!”
Changsun Fanghua glared fiercely at Jun Changxiao, “Form the array to stabilize the Palace Master!”
Swish!
Swish!
As she spoke, Leng Xingyue and several elders rushed forward with large strides. Their hands quickly formed strange hand seals, and wherever their feet stepped left faint glows.
“Die!”
Xi Jingxuan said in a low voice.
Her hollow eyes showed even stronger killing intent!
With a wave of her small hand, the red attributes gathered around her body surged forward like a flood.
“Be careful!”
Changsun Fanghua and Leng Xingyue extended both palms, their powerful spiritual energy erupting and instantly clashing with the incoming red attributes.
Buzz! Buzz!
The three forces violently collided, instantly forming energy ripples that surged toward all directions inside the hall. The arranged furniture was immediately shattered.
The system said, “The power is very strong, completely on par with two peak Wuwang!”
“Holy crap!”
Jun Changxiao exclaimed, “That powerful!”
In his view, Xi Jingxuan was only at Wuzong cultivation, yet she could unexpectedly erupt with such terrifying strength. No wonder she was the master of a fourth-tier sect. No wonder the elders obeyed her every command!
“It’s just…”
The system quickly analyzed, “At this moment she’s in a berserk state and has lost all rationality.”
Jun Changxiao could see this too.
Especially those hollow eyes full of killing intent—she would definitely kill anyone she encountered!
Could it be that this kind of powerful force came from going berserk?
Boom!
Just then, Xi Jingxuan’s red attributes gained absolute advantage, directly repelling the power of the two peak Wuwang!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Changsun Fanghua and Leng Xingyue retreated several steps, their expressions extremely ugly.
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
The other elders had already rushed over.
They spun around using strange body techniques, their bodies instantly enveloped in flowing light that interwove together, forming an inescapable net that trapped Xi Jingxuan within.
Boom! Boom!
The red attributes frantically struck the surroundings, shaking the flowing light barrier until it trembled continuously, as if it could shatter at any moment!
“Grand Elder, Second Elder!”
The Fifth Elder suppressed her roiling blood and energy, “Hurry!”
Changsun Fanghua and Leng Xingyue strode forward, extending both palms and pressing them tightly against the barrier. Their peak Wuwang cultivation fully erupted, instantly stabilizing it.
“Phew!”
The elders breathed a sigh of relief.
Boom! Boom!
Xi Jingxuan, trapped within, continuously bombarded the barrier, but helpless against eight Wuwang stabilizing it, she couldn’t break through.
“…”
Jun Changxiao’s mouth twitched.
Can someone tell me what the hell is going on!
…
“Grand Elder, I think this is a huge misunderstanding.”
Standing in the iron cell, Jun Changxiao looked utterly dejected.
After the eight Miaohua Palace elders subdued Xi Jingxuan, they immediately arrested him.
The entire process left him completely bewildered.
Changsun Fanghua locked the chains and said coldly, “You’d better pray the Palace Master is alright. Otherwise, don’t even think about leaving Miaohua Mountain alive.”
Jun Changxiao was speechless.
He had come with good intentions to deliver medicine, yet ended up as a prisoner. Truly, no good deed goes unpunished!
The system was very puzzled, “Even if the Initial-Grade Spirit Medicine had no effect, it shouldn’t have caused someone to lose rationality.”
“Damn.”
Jun Changxiao sat on the wooden bed, “You’ve screwed me over completely.”
“How is it my fault!”
“If you hadn’t said to come establish relations with Miaohua Palace, why would I have come, and how could I be locked up in a cell!”
“I didn’t hold a knife to your throat to force you to come!”
“I’m still blaming you. Don’t explain.”
“It’s not my fault. I’m not explaining!”
They started arguing!
Actually, with Jun Changxiao’s strength, he could totally make a run for it, but if this matter wasn’t clarified, it would mean offending Miaohua Palace.
“Speaking of which.”
Thinking about what happened in the main hall, he murmured, “Palace Master Xi looked quite charming in a different way when she went berserk.”
“…” The system was speechless.
Already locked up, yet still concerned about how someone looked when going berserk—was this guy a masochist?
…
Sect Leader Jun was locked up for two days. During that time, no one even brought food, making him complain, “Even prisoners should get something to eat.”
“Click clack.”
On the third day, the chains opened.
Changsun Fanghua said irritably, “The Palace Master requests your presence.”
Jun Changxiao got up from the wooden bed and quickly asked, “Is Palace Master Xi alright?”
Changsun Fanghua said with a cold face and indifferent tone, “If the Palace Master had anything wrong, you’d already be dead.”
Jun Changxiao remained silent. Under her guidance, he came to the inner courtyard of Miaohua Palace, arriving at Xi Jingxuan’s independent courtyard.
“Sect Leader Jun.”
Just as he was preparing to enter, Changsun Fanghua said indifferently, “This old one doesn’t want you pestering the Palace Master. It would be best if you left today.”
“Oh.”
Sect Leader Jun responded.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Xi Jingxuan sitting in front of a small pavilion, her face slightly pale, as if recovering from a serious illness.
“Sect Leader Jun, have you arrived?”
She heard the movement and spoke softly, her voice also very weak, as if lacking strength.
The Initial-Grade Spirit Medicine had no effect?
Although he had mentally prepared himself, Jun Changxiao still shook his head, “Palace Master Xi, I’m truly sorry. The medicinal pill caused you discomfort.”
During the days he was imprisoned, he had also considered that Xi Jingxuan’s sudden berserk state must be related to consuming the Initial-Grade Spirit Medicine.
“Sect Leader Jun.”
Xi Jingxuan lowered her head apologetically, “I should be the one saying sorry.”
“No no no, it’s my fault for rashly trusting that charlatan who claimed to be a master of medicine,” Jun Changxiao said.
Xi Jingxuan shook her head, “Losing rationality isn’t my first or second time. You just happened to encounter it, Sect Leader Jun.”
Not the first or second time?
Jun Changxiao was stunned.
Xi Jingxuan said bitterly, “To be honest with Sect Leader Jun, I don’t just have an eye condition. I’m also afflicted with a strange illness. Whenever my emotions are low, I lose rationality and do cruel things. But when I recover, I can’t remember anything.”
Jun Changxiao’s mouth twitched.
Thinking about how gentle and cute she was now, then remembering her going berserk in the main hall, her entire body emanating killing intent—one like an angel, one like a demon—he couldn’t help but mutter internally, “Could this woman have a dual personality?”
“That’s quite possible,” the system said.
Miaohua Palace disciples didn’t know what dual personality meant.
They understood the Palace Master’s condition—as soon as they saw her showing a dejected expression, they would immediately comfort her to prevent her from entering a berserk state.
“Sect Leader Jun.”
Xi Jingxuan’s pale face forced out a smile with difficulty, “I didn’t frighten you earlier, did I?”
“Uh.”
Jun Changxiao said, “It’s fine, it’s fine.”
Xi Jingxuan said softly, “Sect Leader Jun, after taking the medicinal pill you gave me, I…”
Speaking to this point, her small face immediately turned red, “I… seemed to see your appearance!”
Jun Changxiao was startled, “The medicine was effective?”
Xi Jingxuan shook her head, “I only felt my vision suddenly brighten, then I lost consciousness. When I woke up, everything around me was dark again.”
“That’s not right.”
Jun Changxiao thought, “If it brightened, that proves her vision was restored, proves the medicine was effective. How did she become unable to see again?”
The system said, “Her eye condition is quite tricky.”
Wait!
Jun Changxiao suddenly thought of a very serious and earnest question, “Palace Master Xi, you just said the prerequisite for you losing rationality is low emotions?”
“Mm.”
“You also had low emotions earlier?”
“Mm.”
“Why were your emotions low?”
“Because… because…” Xi Jingxuan lowered her head and said softly, “I saw Sect Leader Jun.”
She saw me?
And her emotions became low?
Sect Leader Jun crouched in a corner, holding his head with both hands, howling with devastation in his heart, “How could seeing my appearance make her emotions low!”
“Because you’re ugly,” the system said.
