He looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person speaking was Xu Ping!
She was wearing a crimson gauze dress that fluttered in the flames. Her black hair was like a waterfall, her eyebrows and eyes were like paintings, and her expression was determined. She said, "I have something to announce."
Liu Yuan saw that Wei Feiluan's expression suddenly became anxious, and then she said, "I forgot to tell you, my master said that after the ceremony is over..."
But all the sounds were drowned out by Xu Ping.
"I have decided to resign from my position as elder and leave the Lihuo Sect starting today."
Facing the elders' stunned questions, Xu Ping smiled calmly and said, "I feel ashamed of the sect and have been involved with someone. I feel ashamed to face you all, so I think resigning is the best decision."
The sound of people gasping for air was endless.
Jiang Miaoran stood up and asked blankly: "Senior Sister...who is she?"
Xu Ping sighed: "At this point, do you still want me to say it myself?"
Her eyes fell on the back of Wei Feiluan, thinking that this might cause him confusion and delay some time, and she said softly: "Liu Yuan."
At this moment, Liu Yuan felt that everything was indeed over.
Chapter 327 Liu Yuan
Xu Ping's self-explosion obviously shocked everyone, and no one dared to speak for a while.
The disciples below were all dumbfounded. Who could have thought that they would witness such a shocking event just after the Fire-Giving Ceremony.
They were unable to react and all looked at the stage in confusion.
The elder who was acting as the master of ceremonies twitched his face and said in a trembling voice: "Elder Xu, this is a serious matter and cannot be treated lightly. The most important thing now is the Fire-transfer Ceremony. Wait, wait, wait, we can discuss it later..."
He had indeed never encountered such a situation in all these years, and since it was stuck at such an important time, he could only suppress it for the time being and discuss how to deal with it after the ceremony was over...
What nonsense! This is really nonsense!
The others seemed to be awakened by the sound of his voice and suddenly exploded in excitement.
What is Elder Xu going to do? Retire!
Why did she retire? She had an affair, which violated the sect rules!
With whom? Liu Yuan!
Who is Liu Yuan? The scumbag who was rumored to be wanted by everyone and had harmed more than a handful of women!
Once this logical chain was established, the discussion became noisy and everyone forgot about the Fire-Giving Ceremony.
The elders above were at a loss as to what to do. They could only keep a straight face to maintain order and shout "Silence! Silence!" However, the chaotic scene could not be restored in a short time.
Xu Ping's gaze fell on Liu Yuan, with a gentleness and a hint of encouragement, as if saying, "I have done what I can, now go do what you need to do."
She retracted her gaze and said, "Don't push it back. I have made up my mind and I am not being coerced. I will withdraw from Lihuo Sect today, but if Lihuo Sect forgives the past, I can still serve as a guest official."
After these words were spoken, the expressions of the elders softened slightly. They looked at each other and their attitudes began to soften.
What the Lihuo Sect feared most was not that she would bring shame to the sect, but that it would lose a combat force at the peak of the fusion stage, thereby greatly reducing the Lihuo Sect's advantage among the six sects.
Amidst the chaos, Liu Yuan's face froze and he silently moved towards the door of the forbidden area.
He knew that Xu Ping meant well.
Among the people present, no one knew his true identity except Xu Ping, Wei Feiluan and Jiang Miaoran.
He still appears in the sight of other people in Lihuo Sect as an outer disciple disguised by Jingyueyu. Even if Xu Ping says his name, others can only think of Liu Yuan, who is still wanted by Yuxu Taoist Sect and is still missing.
She took this opportunity to announce her decision to withdraw from the Lihuo Gate, and at the same time create chaos to attract everyone's attention, allowing Liu Yuan to sneak in more safely.
She might even want to prove that if her junior sister could help him, then she could help him too.
But there was one thing she didn't know...
Jiang Miaoran slowly walked down from his seat, and everyone immediately stopped discussing and prepared to listen to what the headmaster would decide.
She raised her head, looked at her senior sister, took a deep breath, and said incoherently: "Senior sister... is it true? You and Liu Yuan, are you in that kind of relationship? Are you doing this to make me give up? In other words, to test what he would do in this situation?"
In fact, she already had a guess in her mind, but she still had a glimmer of hope, so she said this guess which had no possibility at all.
Xu Ping looked calm and frowned slightly. She was vaguely confused in her heart, why would her junior sister lose her composure like this?
This is different from what she expected. At this time, shouldn't her junior sister cooperate with her performance and let Liu Yuan enter the forbidden area?
But no matter what, it is definitely not okay for Junior Sister to lose her composure like this. She Xu Ping can quit Lihuo Sect now, but Junior Sister can't. If Junior Sister also blew herself up, then Lihuo Sect would be in more than just chaos today. So she changed to a tougher and more formal tone and said, "Master, please forgive me. I did have that kind of relationship with Liu Yuan, and we love each other. I have decided to quit Lihuo Sect. Maybe I will marry him in the future and choose to be his wife and raise children... I'm sorry."
After all, she still felt sorry for her sect.
Jiang Miaoran stared at her senior sister's face, which was determined and full of guilt, and suddenly felt dizzy.
She and Xu Ping have been sisters for so many years, spending every day together and are very familiar with each other. Of course, she can easily tell whether the other is lying.
The two had been misled by Liu Yuan before, and they always told the truth, but they always missed the truth and led to misunderstandings.
But this time, because of Xu Ping's direct showdown, there was no longer a buffer zone between the two of them.
Thinking about the sweet time we've had together these days, those happy moments, and those details that were covered up and felt wrong are now vivid in my mind, so clear.
Jiang Miaoran's innocent and pure heart suffered a huge blow.
The dreamlike bubble gradually shattered.
Obviously, obviously one is my favorite senior sister, and the other is my favorite person. I have both of them at the same time. It should be a happy thing. Why, why did things turn out like this?!
Jiang Miaoran's expression gradually became dazed: "Ha, ha, senior sister..."
Xu Ping also felt something was wrong at this time. She frowned and said, "Miao Ran, what's wrong? Why did you ask that just now... Could it be that you really don't know the relationship between Liu Yuan and me?"
Jiang Miaoran's eyes swept across the stunned senior sister, and she shook her head and said word by word: "I don't know."
Wasn't she trying to capture Liu Yuan that day? Wasn't she trying to steal his man from her? How could she not know?
Xu Ping said at a loss: "Then, then what is his hair..."
Elder Xu was suddenly stunned.
Who else could it be?
At that time, she had clearly guessed the truth.
Liu Yuan looked ashen.
He finally remembered that on the first day of the competition, he was with Wei Feiluan and Xu Ping had come to see him, but because she was busy covering up, she hurriedly coaxed Xu Ping away, so she never told him the purpose of looking for him in the end.
I'm afraid that at that time, she actually wanted to discuss with Liu Yuan about announcing her withdrawal from Lihuomen today.
In fact, if it was really based on the information Xu Ping knew, there would be no problem, but Liu Yuan concealed it - Jiang Miaoran didn't know that Xu Ping and Liu Yuan had a relationship, and Xu Ping thought that it was Jiang Miaoran who had sex with Liu Yuan that day, not Wei Feiluan.
And now, Xu Ping knew that Jiang Miaoran didn't know about her relationship with Liu Yuan, so what happened on that day didn't match up, and indirectly, Wei Feiluan was also exposed.
How much does lust cost?
Perhaps he will never find the answer to this question.
While everyone was confused by the conversation between the head and the elders, Liu Yuan reached out, grabbed Wei Feiluan and rushed into the forbidden area.
Jiang Miaoran and Xu Ping shouted from behind: "Liu-Yuan-Stop!!!"
Chapter 328: It was obviously me who came here first!
At this time, anyone who stands still is an idiot!
Liu Yuan held Wei Feiluan with one hand and took out the fire-proof beads that he had prepared long ago from his sleeve with the other hand. He rushed towards the entrance of the forbidden area at the fastest speed, without even leaving an afterimage, as he teleported instantly.
"boom……"
As soon as they stepped through the door, hot wind blew in their faces, blowing up their clothes with a momentum that could instantly burn them.
With the rustling sound, the corners of Wei Feiluan's clothes had already spread a layer of charred black, and were about to catch fire. Only then did she react, calm down, and use her skills to protect her whole body with spiritual power.
The clothes on Liu Yuan were fine. After all, they were made of materials carefully prepared by Ning Xiangrong. They were impervious to water and fire, so they could hold up for the time being.
However, all materials that are said to be "immune to water and fire" actually have an upper limit. Once the power of "water and fire" exceeds this value, they will also be destroyed.
Especially when facing the strange fire left by the Phoenix, any clothes would not last long, and disappearance was just a matter of time.
However, Liu Yuan had already been prepared. The fire-proof bead in his hand was infused with spiritual power and shone brightly.
In the field of vision, the dazzling red light around was forced back in an instant, the flames rolled back, forming a blank area of three meters in radius, revealing the original terrain.
Liu Yuan still refused to slow down, and rushed forward with Wei Feiluan without stopping, cutting a straight line in the overwhelming red flames.
Wei Feiluan huddled in his arms, leaning against his chest, her eyes blurred. Thinking that her relationship with Liu Yuan had been known by her master, she felt the thrill of being caught having an affair.
During high-speed exercise, the heart beats rapidly and faster and faster.
Master, it's not that I want to be like this, but before, no one has ever told me that liking someone is such a happy thing...
She was filled with guilt, but also felt like she couldn't stop.
Liu Yuan stared ahead and whispered, "It might be a bit difficult to endure. I have to go deeper into the forbidden area. The temperature inside will be very high. You can't bear it with your cultivation level... I may not be able to bear it either, but it won't last long. As long as your master and junior uncle give up, we will turn back immediately. I will give you the fire-proof beads outside."
The temperature of the flames around was getting higher and higher, and even at a distance of three meters, it could faintly penetrate through the protective layer of spiritual power to the skin.
Wei Feiluan also felt the growing sense of danger, pursed her lips, and said, "It's okay, but you gave me the fire-proof beads, what will you do?"
Liu Yuan said calmly: "You forgot, I came here to find Phoenix Blood. How can I find it in such a close place? Of course I can only go deep inside. There, it will be the same whether I have the Fire Repellent Bead or not.
The fire-proof beads can't resist such high temperatures. If I can't find the Phoenix Blood, I will die."
Wei Feiluan hugged him tightly, trying to retain the last bit of warmth, and said, "I'll listen to you."
Liu Yuan smiled, thinking that if this broken system was still working properly, the girl in front of him would probably have reached the maximum value of "Until Death". Suddenly, he heard Xu Ping, who was chasing him from behind, yelling angrily: "Stop right there, you two! Bastards! You actually lied to me for so long! You guys have been together every day these days. Do you think you are having fun lying to me?!"
Wei Feiluan's guilt surged up again, but when she looked up at Liu Yuan, she felt that it didn't matter if she died with him, so she said loudly: "Master, how you feel about him, I feel the same way! You can quit Lihuomen for him, and so can I! But you don't accept that I like him too. If it's because you think it's unethical, I think I can like him more than you do, I don't care!"
Xu Ping was choked for a moment, and could only stamp her feet and curse: "What nonsense! What are you talking about? I like him, and you like her, do you think I should stand on your side?"
Wei Feiluan suddenly burst out laughing: "It turns out that Master is just jealous, just like he was jealous of Junior Master a few days ago..."
Xu Ping had never thought that his disciple would be so bold as to bring such a thing up in the open. His face flushed and he shouted, "Unfilial fellow! That's not true!"
Jiang Miaoran followed closely and said quietly, "Senior Sister, when did you become jealous of me?"
"No, no..." Xu Ping stuttered, feeling extremely ashamed.
When I think of what I said in front of my apprentice, "What you haven't gotten yet, I have already tasted", if my junior sister knew about it, I would feel goose bumps all over my body from the tips of my toes to the top of my head.
What's worse is that the disciple who heard this sentence actually heard it before her!
Saying this was like slapping himself in the face. It is hard to imagine what Wei Feiluan felt at that time.
Whenever Xu Ping thought that his apprentice might think of him as a joke, he wanted to curl himself up into a ball and disappear.
Xu Ping even felt a trace of pleading in his heart, "No, don't let Junior Sister know..."
"I've tasted what you haven't gotten yet~"
Contrary to expectations, Wei Feiluan was worthy of being the little pervert recognized by Liu Yuan. At this moment of life and death, he became even more bold and let himself go. In front of the four people present, he repeated Xu Ping's words word for word and even imitated the tone very well.
Even Liu Yuan was stunned.
He was in Jiang Miaoran's room at that time, so he naturally had no idea what was happening next door. He never expected that Elder Xu would make such remarks.
Jiang Miaoran was startled, her face suddenly turned red, and her originally deliberately stern expression could no longer be stabilized. She said in disbelief: "Senior Sister, you..."
"Woo..." Xu Ping raised his chin, revealing a tearful expression. He tried to collect his thoughts, looked at his apprentice with difficulty and shouted: "Fei Luan, quickly, quickly shut up..."
Wei Feiluan had always been respectful to Xu Ping since childhood. Now that he had the opportunity to bully his master, his face was full of excitement. He said, "Master, you taught me to be honest since I was a child. Why are you unwilling to face me directly when it comes to me?"
Jiang Miaoran's questioning eyes, Wei Feiluan's bright gaze, Liu Yuan's interested gaze.
Xu Ping gritted her teeth and closed her eyes, the last bit of shame also disappeared: "Yes! I said such words, I was jealous, I just want to have him all to myself!"
Jiang Miaoran's last bit of trust in her senior sister also completely collapsed. She looked at her senior sister and nephew, bewildered and said, "How could you do this?! I was here first!"
The little Lolita felt aggrieved. It was obvious that she was the one who had been with Liu Yuan the earliest, but some unclear things had happened between him and the girls left and right.
She looked at Xu Ping and said, "Senior Sister, it turns out that you have always been jealous of me. You always gave in to me before."
Xu Ping turned around and said, "This is different... Besides, I thought you already knew it and were just trying to snatch it from me."
The two looked at each other. How did this misunderstanding come about?
It’s not someone yet!
They turned around angrily, only to find that Liu Yuan had taken the opportunity to speed up and rushed into the depths of the forbidden area.
