Chapter 256: Chapter 198 The Real Wang Tianran!_2

Even as the Head of Yanyue Sect, Xianyu Zixuan, was seething with anger, her disciple Shi Rouzhong continued to dance gracefully, oblivious to the awkwardness her performance was causing in the gathering.

Everyone saw Wang Tianran for who he truly was and understood why such a young man had such dark circles under his eyes.

Some covered their mouths and snickered, others shook their heads and sighed, but most of the crowd continued to watch with a spectator’s interest, taking it as a diversion to ease the tense atmosphere of the Grand Ritual of the Heavenly Master.

The helpless Head of Yanyue Sect, Xianyu Zixuan, could only look towards the Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi, hoping she would step in soon. Only a person of the Four Great Noble Paths’ caliber could compel Wang Tianran to show respect.

The Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi, was also a woman, with all female disciples under her; naturally, she wouldn’t allow another female cultivator to continue to embarrass herself. Understanding the situation, she immediately warned Wang Tianran:

"Young Master Wang, have you had enough fun? The winner is already decided, why must you humiliate our female cultivators like this?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Tianran wrapped his arm around Shi Rouzhong, the Yanyue Sect female cultivator, gave her oval face a peck, and shamelessly explained to the Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi:

"Sect Leader Mo, you’ve got it wrong. I’m not humiliating your female cultivators, really, I’m just a simple lecher, that’s all!"

"You..."

Like the other cultivators, the Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi was at a loss for words after hearing this, only managing to grind her teeth and say resentfully:

"I never thought The World’s Foremost Talented could be so shameless, so vulgar!"

"Tsk tsk tsk! Now I understand why Wang Tianran was so eager to get to know me!"

Li Ping’an shook his head and remarked:

"So Wang Tianran is just as sleazy and vulgar as I am, except I still care about keeping up appearances and do such things in secret, whereas this guy acts without any inhibition. Since you’re so openly vile, I, Li Ping’an, really must get to know you! It would be splendid to pursue pleasures together, wouldn’t it!"

This left the Ghost Taoist standing nearby completely flabbergasted for a moment. He looked at Li Ping’an, deceptively respectable-looking, then at the shamelessly vulgar Wang Tianran, and finally said:

"They truly say, ’Birds of a feather flock together.’ What a perfect match these two wolves make, just a couple of scoundrels through and through."

Wang Tianran didn’t want to continue this awkward standoff with the female cultivators present. He felt it was about time to end his mockery and teasing. The only regrettable thing was encountering so many beautiful female cultivators here. If he had met them in the wilds, he could guarantee he’d have all the female cultivators of Yanyue Sect, from the Sect Leader to the disciples, serving him alone.

"Enough, let’s leave it at that."

With that, Wang Tianran swiftly pointed at Shi Rouzhong’s forehead, and she immediately came to her senses, halting her dance. She had forgotten everything that had happened and looked around bewildered and afraid at the people laughing at her.

In a short while, her lost memories suddenly flooded back, and she remembered everything as if she had just awoken from a spring dream.

Realizing too late, she immediately ran toward her master, the Head of Yanyue Sect, Xianyu Zixuan, covering her face in shame.

Furious beyond measure, the Head of Yanyue Sect, Xianyu Zixuan, berated her disciple Shi Rouzhong as she ran over:

"You disgraceful creature, you still have the face to come back?"

"I..."

The Yanyue Sect female cultivator Shi Rouzhong ran up to her master, Xianyu Zixuan, and stopped in front of her, at a loss for how to explain herself.

Of course, the Head of Yanyue Sect, Xianyu Zixuan, knew that all of this was Wang Tianran’s deliberate humiliation of their Yanyue Sect, but since they couldn’t provoke him or beat him, she had nowhere to vent her anger and slapped the hugely wronged Shi Rouzhong across the face.

"Ouch, you’re not all that old, so why such a temper? If it’s my fault, why slap someone without asking for an explanation?"

Wang Tianran, who was originally standing elsewhere, instantly moved in front of Shi Rouzhong and caught the hand of the Head of Yanyue Sect, Xianyu Zixuan, as it came down.

The Head of Yanyue Sect, Xianyu Zixuan, glared furiously at the utterly disgusting and sleazy Wang Tianran, and demanded:

"Young Master Wang, when has our Yanyue Sect ever offended you that you must humiliate our female cultivators in public?"

"I didn’t say so, I really didn’t mean to humiliate you all, I’m just simply lecherous, Sister Shi Rouzhong is so beautiful and tempting, I couldn’t control myself for a moment, and that’s why..."

Wang Tianran turned his head and threw a flirtatious wink at Shi Rouzhong, then turned back to explain helplessly:

"This time it’s all my fault, I apologize to Yanyue Sect and all the female cultivators, I, Wang Tianran, have wronged you!"

Head of Yanyue Sect, Xianyu Zixuan, despite her pride, couldn’t let go and continued to interrogate:

"Wang Tianran, do you think it’s over just because you apologized? Where do you think you’ve left the face of our Yanyue Sect?"

Wang Tianran did not dare to refute and immediately announced loudly to show the sincerity of his apology:

"I, Wang Tianran, without a sect or school, am willing to join Yanyue Sect, and from today, I, Wang Tianran, will count as the only male disciple of Yanyue Sect. From now on, anyone who dares to bully Yanyue Sect is bullying me, Wang Tianran! If I find out, I will chase them to the ends of the earth until I kill them!"

"..."

The entire place fell silent, taking note of Wang Tianran’s words and not daring to dismiss them lightly, especially Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang, who never expected that due to this misfortune, Yanyue Sect would be blessed to have The World’s Foremost Talented King Tianran as a disciple. Saying he’s a disciple, in fact, is like gaining an incredibly powerful backer.

"If I knew, I would have had the female disciples of our Hehuan Sect seduce Wang Tianran!"

Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang and other cultivators looked extremely envious, and immediately stood up to congratulate Head of Yanyue Sect, Xianyu Zixuan, showering her with flattering words. Xianyu Zixuan received great face from this, and Wang Tianran was given a way out and gained such a strong supporter, so it was difficult to say more, but she had mixed feelings about Wang Tianran, who had played Yanyue Sect into the palm of his hand!

"Argh, Wang Tianran, this bastard! Others may not know what he’s thinking, but a kindred spirit like me knows exactly what’s on his mind!"

Li Ping’an couldn’t help but curse:

"Wang Tianran, this bastard, acts coy after taking advantage—he got off cheap! You don’t really think Wang Tianran wants to join Yanyue Sect, do you?"

"He’s only treating Yanyue Sect as his own harem! This beast! He’s making me so angry! Why didn’t I think of this move? Ghost Taoist, don’t stop me, watch me not beat him to death!"

The Ghost Taoist did not move, looking on disdainfully:

"I’m not stopping you. Seeing how worked up you are, go ahead and beat him to death!"

"Big brother, I was just saying, you believe that?"

"Hmph! Two like-minded scum of the Human Realm! When did Chang’an City spoil its feng shui to produce you two living beasts!"

"..."

"Since Wang Tianran is willing to take me as his master, I naturally will not hold onto the issue. Alright, this matter is settled!"

Head of Yanyue Sect, Xianyu Zixuan, was just about to sit down slowly when Wang Tianran sniffed the hand he had just held of Head of Yanyue Sect, Xianyu Zixuan, and said enraptured:

"Master, your hand smells so good..."

"Shameless!"

All the cultivators present cursed disdainfully, unable to understand how The World’s Foremost Talent could have such a face, even daring to flirt with his master in public.

But Li Ping’an understood that all the cultivators had been blinded by the halo of The World’s Number One Talent that surrounded Wang Tianran, who was actually a spoiled young master from an official’s family, unrestrained and lascivious, but unlike people like Cen Fuda, he had boundaries and principles in his actions, and was open and straightforward, without so many schemes and did not bully others using his status. He was not a hypocrite who mouthed about morality, but a true lecher.

Most importantly, The World’s Foremost Talented King Tianran was a living person!

All the cultivators present had thought too highly of Wang Tianran from the beginning!

Li Ping’an vaguely felt that The World’s Number One Talent, Wang Tianran, might be on the same cultivation path as himself regarding Taoist Magic. It involved first experiencing desires, then severing those desires; otherwise, Wang Tianran wouldn’t act so shamelessly!
