Jaw-Dropping Son-in-Law

Chapter 1989

Junie had enough. “There, I said it. What are you going to do about it? Overthrow me as head of the sect if you can!”

Who do they think they are to drive a wedge between me and Ye Fan? It's ludicrous that they would expect me to give up a decade-long friendship with him over a few words!

Despite how indignant she was, Junie could not do much beyond angering the elders of the Elysian Faction with her words.

She knew the old men valued the sect's reputation even more than their own lives. Their faces turning purple with rage felt more satisfying to Junie than beating them.

As angry as they were, the elders of the Elysian Faction could not do anything to reverse the decision of their volatile and unpredictable leader.

As much as the elders wanted to, they could not overthrow Junie and would not dare to kill her. It had never been something the Elysian Faction elders have felt the need to resort to.

After all, Junie was the predecessor chosen by the old Elysian Master. At most, they did not have much faith and respect for Junie, but they never dared conspire to hurt Junie.

“Ms. Junie, you will suffer the consequences if you insist on going your own way. It won't be long before the Elysian Faction will be in trouble because of your actions. I hope for your sake that you would have a proper explanation for the spirits of the past Elysian Masters! Let's go!”

By that point, Junie had arrived at an impasse with the rest of the sect. Driven insolent by desperation, the elders shouted angrily at Junie before turning on their heels and stalking off.

Junie paid their disobedience no mind.

She had her own plan to carry out to rectify the sect by training new recruits.

Although the sect elders often opposed Junie when it came to matters regarding Ye Fan, they still fulfilled their duties in aiding their leader with due diligence.

After all, like Junie, they shared the common goal of restoring the sect's former glory.

However, the quiet barely lasted a few days before it was disrupted again when an uninvited guest arrived outside the gates of the Elysian Faction.

The large number of new recruits were amazed at the sight of the beautiful woman who looked out of place in their midst like she was an exiled angel from heaven. All at once, they flocked around her to chat.

“My, what a beautiful girl! I say, miss, are you also here to join our sect? I'm afraid to disappoint you with the news that the Elysian Faction does not accept female disciples. However, do not despair! Perhaps you can be the wife of one. What do you say, eh?”

To their unpleasant surprise, the beautiful woman before them was obviously not as meek as they initially assumed. “Get lost!” she snapped in response to the frivolous attempts at courting her.

Hum!

Accompanying her retort was a sound like muffled thunder which swept across the entire courtyard in a fierce gust of wind and sent the prospective disciples flying in every direction as they coughed up blood amidst groans of pain.

However, the woman spared one of them.

The lucky one fell to his knees in his extreme fright at such a bizarre phenomenon.

Just the sound of her voice is capable of such damage! Is this what Supremes are capable of? This must be none other than the head of the Chu Sect.

The one left almost wet his pants in fear at that very thought.

There were not many female Supremes. The two most famous ones were Tang Yun, the head of the Chu Sect, and the other, Moryana, who had been missing from China for many years.

It is most likely that this ruthless woman before me is Tang Yun, the head of the Chu Sect.

“Please,” the man begged, “spare me!”

The woman only replied, “Have the head of your sect come out to meet me. I have something to ask him.”

“Y-Yes, right away.” Sweating profusely with relief, the man leaped to his feet and bolted into the hall like a rabbit.

Soon after, Junie appeared with the elders of the Elysian Faction.

“Who amongst you is the head of the Elysian Faction?” The woman asked in a low voice as she surveyed the old men.

Though her tone was cold, it was at least considered civil.

However, the look of the newcomer suddenly changed when a young and beautiful woman stood up and claimed to be the head of the Elysian Faction.

Traces of hostility and anger appeared in her eyes. “You are the Elysian Master?” she asked coldly.

“That's me,” Junie replied. “What can we do for you? We have only rebuilt the Elysian Faction a few days ago. I hope we haven't had any mishaps that have offended you?”

The woman ignored her remark and delved straight to the point of her visit. “Where is Chu Tianfan?” she asked with a hint of anger in her voice. “Have him come out!”

An uproar commenced as soon as her words fell.

Everybody present could see the hatred and resentment that the woman had for Chu Tianfan.

He's getting what's coming for him.

Upon learning that the woman was here for Chu Tianfan, the elders of the Elysian Faction turned their attention to Junie.

“Didn't we tell you, Ms. Junie? You refused to listen. Look at where that got us! Catastrophe is imminent, we hope you're satisfied. Are you still insisting on your own way? Are you still intent on bearing his child?”

The sect elders took the opportunity to vent their long-held frustration against Junie, who remained impassive and silent. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Nothing to say, have you?” the elders snorted. “We've always known that women are unfit to lead. I really don't know what the old Elysian Master was thinking to hand over the sect to a woman. Look at that the state of our once glorious sect!”

As angry as they were, it was not the time to hold Junie accountable. The most urgent task was to get that terrifying woman to leave.

Therefore, the elders did not hesitate to act in the best interest of the sect.

Faced with the woman, most likely a Supreme, they addressed her in a carefully measured tone. “So you're here for Chu Tianfan, Madam. We know someone of that very name, but we're not sure if it is

the same person you are looking for.”

“I'll verify that myself,” the woman said. “Just tell me, where is he?”

“We'll tell you,” the elders replied, “but you have to promise that after we do, you will not make things difficult for our sect! We wish to declare that the Elysian Faction has no affiliation whatsoever with Chu Tianfan. We will not interfere with whatever you wish to do to him.”

The woman agreed.

“That's all we can do, Ms. Junie,” the elders said, turning back to their leader. “The rest is up to you. Just tell her where Chu Tianfan is and the Elysian Faction will be spared of her wrath.”

Junie merely smiled. “I know you want to protect the sect, but it shouldn't be at a cost of deceiving others. The Elysian Faction has prided itself on being a beacon of truth. We took an oath to never be untruthful. We obviously have not seen anyone named Chu Tianfan. Why are you lying to the lady? Could you possibly believe that this dignified Supreme can be fooled by such a clumsy lie?”

“Why are you still protecting him at this point, Ms. Junie?” the elders shouted as they pointed their trembling fingers at her. “Have you forgotten your role? You are the head of the Elysian Faction! Are you going to disregard the lives of our disciples for that wild man? If you insist on carrying out your reckless intents, you might as well step down as the head of the Elysian Faction!”

Junie ignored them as she met the steady gaze of the woman before her. “I can tell you without hesitation that we do not know Chu Tianfan, let alone where he is. I would say the same even if you killed me.”

The sect elders took the opportunity to vent their long-held frustration against Junie, who remained impassive and silent.
