Ye Chen and Xu Shenglong flew toward the Star Moon Palace amid rumors of Xu's expulsion from the Nine Saint Demon Sect. Nan Fengyin debated Ye Chen's true value with Yuan Ping, who urged expelling him and Jin Shuhui to conserve resources, but she opted to observe further. Young Master Zhang Changqing of the Wuji Sect arrived injured, demanding Jin Shuhui apologize for breaking his legs, which she denied, claiming she only slapped him for lewd remarks, as Nan Fengyin and others pressured her amid rising tension. Ye Chen and Xu Shenglong arrived and hid to observe the confrontation.

Zhang Changqing let out a cold sneer and declared, "So, do you doubt that this Young Master faked his injury just to ensnare you?"

His tone grew even icier in an instant as he warned, "You should ponder the repercussions of defaming this Young Master—you must know what they are!"

Yuan Ping bellowed too, "Jin Shuhui, how much longer will you keep disputing? Apologize to me right now!"

Nangong Fengyin, Wu Fei, Su Wu, and the rest stayed silent, yet their faces plainly showed they agreed with Yuan Ping.

Nangong Fengyin’s eyes wavered slightly; had Ye Chen still held the Nine Saint Demon Sect’s support, she might have dared to cross Zhang Changqing to shield Jin Shuhui, but now there was no point...

After all, it was merely an apology—not as if it cost her life!

Jin Shuhui’s delicate features brimmed with injustice. Right from the beginning, Zhang Changqing’s remarks had been lewd, sparking her killing intent toward him. Still, she held back and merely slapped him to silence his mouth...

That restraint from Jin Shuhui already marked a true wonder in her nature!

Why had she acted so?

She realized that anyone below the Heavenly Repairing Realm who could enter this Yuehuang Pavilion bore an extraordinarily special status!

Thus, she aimed to spare Ye Chen and Star Moon Palace any trouble!

Yet now, was this the way Star Moon Palace repaid her?

Didn’t that make her a Star Moon Palace disciple too?

For Star Moon Palace’s sake, she had curbed herself, but what had Star Moon Palace done in return?

Not only did they fail to defend her, they sided with strangers to oppress her?

Her heart chilled completely! Utterly frozen!

Right then, a stunningly beautiful young woman with an enchanting allure dashed into the bamboo grove. Su Wu’s face shifted at the sight, and he murmured lowly, "Yunyan, why are you here! Return at once!"

Yet Su Yunyan firmly positioned herself before Jin Shuhui, gazing quietly at the Star Moon Palace folks around her, eyes filled with letdown!

Spotting Su Yunyan made Zhang Changqing’s gaze sparkle with excitement!

Su Yunyan softly clasped Jin Shuhui’s hand and assured, "Sister Jin, rest easy—with me present, nobody can harm you!"

Yuan Ping, Wu Fei, Nangong Fengyin, and Su Wu’s faces all twisted in shock!

Did this young lady grasp the weight of her words!

Zhang Changqing was the Wuji Sect master’s son—worth antagonizing him over mere Jin Shuhui!

As the group prepared to berate Su Yunyan alongside her, a subtle masculine voice echoed in their ears, "What’s going on here?"

Nangong Fengyin and the others’ pupils contracted sharply once more!

From the heavens above, two silhouettes descended—it was Ye Chen alongside Xu Shenglong!

Ye Chen had arrived!

And he’d brought Xu Shenglong with him?

What was unfolding?

They had assumed Ye Chen got Xu Shenglong ousted from the Nine Saint Demon Sect, turning them into sworn foes, hadn’t they?

But reality suggested otherwise?

Still, composure returned swiftly. Maybe clueless Xu Shenglong remained deceived by Ye Chen?

It scarcely mattered now—lacking Nine Saint Demon Sect backing, Xu Shenglong amounted to little.

Ye Chen fared no better!

Talent alone meant nothing without influence! No matter the aptitude, growth demanded time, and provoking Wuji Sect could doom Star Moon Palace in under a decade, war or not!

The disparity in strength between them yawned too vast!

Nangong Fengyin addressed Ye Chen with cool detachment, "Young Master Ye, here’s the situation: Shuhui clashed lightly with Young Master Zhang and wounded him, so now she must make amends to Young Master Zhang."

Yuan Ping grinned at Ye Chen and probed, "Young Master Ye, back already? Did the Nine Saint Demon Sect boot you out?"

Xu Shenglong’s eyes blazed with fury at those words, and he roared, "You!"

But Ye Chen seized his arm.

Yuan Ping eyed Xu Shenglong with scorn; absent Nine Saint Demon Sect protection, why dread a trivial Xu Shenglong?

Ye Chen regarded Yuan Ping, gave a nod, and confirmed, "Yes, I got expelled."

Those words shifted every Star Moon Palace member’s stare toward Ye Chen to icy chill, save for Su Yunyan.

Su Yunyan alone kept her composure; her backing of Ye Chen from the start stemmed not from the Nine Saint Demon Sect!

Yuan Ping’s smirk deepened mockingly; with Ye Chen’s admission, his final qualms vanished, growing bolder as he pressed, "Young Master Ye, grasp this: Jin Shuhui’s assault on Young Master Zhang warrants far worse than an apology, which Young Master Zhang generously offers—yet she refuses? Isn’t that sheer ingratitude?"

Nangong Fengyin added flatly, "Young Master Ye, urge Shuhui to comply, lest dire outcomes follow."

Silent until now, Wu Fei finally interjected, "Apologize already—stop delaying."

Su Wu wavered briefly yet ultimately voiced, "Young Master Ye, merely an apology—surely no big deal?"

Jin Shuhui clenched her teeth fiercely, rage nearly scorching her veins, though sorrow tinged her lovely visage as she bowed her head faintly and whispered to Ye Chen, "Ye Chen... I’ll apologize. It’s only an apology, after all..."

Without Ye Chen’s arrival, she’d never have bowed so readily, but his presence altered everything...

She knew Ye Chen’s temperament intimately, grasping full well that clashes with Wuji Sect must be dodged!

Else, it spelled mutual destruction!

Though convinced of her innocence, she refused to drag Ye Chen into mortal peril for her pride!

Wuji Sect wielded immense sway in Moon Soul Domain—even against all odds, Ye Chen couldn’t challenge them yet!

Yet in that instant, Ye Chen’s countenance hardened like frost, and he proclaimed gravely, "No one under Ye Chen needs to bow to anyone! Not even the Upper Realm Empress would change that!"

Ye Chen’s visage turned stern and frigid, spiritual aura roiling about him akin to a primordial fiend poised to shatter realms!

Should Jin Shuhui truly err and owe an apology, she would give it—even if Ye Chen had to compel her!

However!

Should anyone coerce Jin Shuhui into apologizing, Ye Chen would forbid it utterly!

His followers would never humble themselves thus!

His declaration stunned all, momentarily cowed by Ye Chen’s overwhelming aura!

Yet Zhang Changqing soon scoffed derisively, "Such audacity you possess."

With that, he turned to Nangong Fengyin, "Lord Nangong, under these circumstances, take me back to Wuji Sect—it’s not my reluctance to offer leeway, but some prove far too arrogant."

Nangong Fengyin’s face darkened gravely, and she snapped, "Ye Chen! Can’t you read the room!"

Ye Chen shot Nangong Fengyin a glance, then erupted in laughter, guffawing wildly!
