Finally, Xuanqing stepped onto the platform slowly with a nervous mood.

His heart beat involuntarily faster, as if it was about to jump out of his throat, mixed with tension, anxiety and fear.

The five people on the platform had different expressions.

Chen Xuan had a kind smile on his face, as if he was welcoming some important moment.

Yun Che closed his eyes tightly, as if he was deep in thought.

Frost Moon has a cold expression on his face, making it difficult to guess what he is thinking.

Jun Yan had a playful look on his face, as if he was waiting for a good show to begin.

True Man Jiuyang looked solemn and extremely serious.

At this moment, Yun Che was closing his eyes, with his hands folded on his knees, appearing calm and dignified.

When Chen Xuan saw Xuan Qing coming, he said amiably, "Xuan Qing, congratulations on passing the trial."

Yun Che still had his eyes closed, as if he was deliberately avoiding looking at Xuan Qing.

Xuanqing bowed and said, "Xuanqing thanks the Sect Master."

Then, Xuan Qing knelt upright in front of Yun Che with a thud and kowtowed heavily.

With a trembling voice, he said: "Emperor, Xuanqing knows that his sins are grave.

I shouldn't have coveted your beloved, please punish me, Emperor."

Yun Che was slightly startled when he heard this, and slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes seemed to be flashing with a mysterious light, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised in a devilish smile.

There was something elusive and mysterious in that smile.

He raised his head slightly, and in a low and authoritative voice, he ordered, "Lift your head."

Xuan Qing didn't dare to slack off in the slightest. He slowly raised his head and fixed his gaze directly on Yun Che.

Yun Che slowly stretched out his slender, fair hand and gently waved it in the air, as if hinting at something.

He sat upright on the throne, exuding a noble and majestic aura.

A pair of deep black eyes looked at Xuan Qing who was kneeling in front of him.

He asked, "Xuanqing, do you think my hands are beautiful?"

Xuanqing was stunned by this sudden question, and his eyes involuntarily looked at the hand he stretched out.

The hand was as white as jade, slender with distinct joints, as if it condensed the purest breath between heaven and earth.

Xuan Qing nodded slightly and replied softly, "It looks good."

Upon hearing this, Yun Che raised his eyebrows, his eyes filled with pride, and said, “So… what did you understand?”

Xuan Qing quickly replied, "I'm not even as good as one of your fingers."

Yun Che said proudly, "I am of noble birth, what can you compare with me?

I have never let Wan'er down, so don't even think about taking advantage of me."

Xuan Qing's gaze fell on Shuang Yue, who was beside Yun Che, with a look of inquiry and scrutiny in his eyes.

He looked at her carefully, as if trying to find something from every detail of Frost Moon.

Shuangyue noticed Xuanqing's gaze, frowned slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes.

He shouted, "Why are you staring at me?"

There was a hint of authority and dissatisfaction in his voice.

Xuan Qing heard this, but did not respond, but silently withdrew his gaze.

Then he looked Yun Che in the eye and began to boldly voice out his doubts: "Emperor, you always say that you have never let her down.

Then how should the Frost Moon Sect Master explain this?

You are always inseparable, sitting side by side,

You say you love Wan'er, but in reality,

Who is with you every day?

The monks at Lingshan saw it clearly..."

Yun Che felt unhappy when he heard this.

He looked at Xuan Qing who was kneeling in front of him, then slowly stood up and stood with his hands behind his back.

He said coldly: "So...

Are you trying to snatch Wan'er from me?"

There was obvious warning and displeasure in his tone.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan quickly stood up.

He patted Yun Che's shoulder gently, his eyes full of concern.

He said soothingly, "Yun Che, don't be angry. Anger is harmful to your health."

Yun Che ignored Chen Xuan's kindness. His face remained stern, his eyes sharp, and he stared straight at Xuan Qing.

"You are not me, so how can you understand my deep feelings for Wan'er?

How can one truly understand the heavy responsibility and pressure that comes with being in a high position?

If you covet this high throne,

I will give it to you.

But do you dare to take over?

Can you really catch it?"

Hearing this, Xuan Qing didn't dare to look up and meet Yun Che's gaze.

He could only bow his head slightly and replied respectfully: "Xuan Qing dare not, but he still has doubts in his heart."

At this moment, True Man Jiuyang had arrived beside Xuanqing.

He looked serious and suggested: "If the Emperor is unhappy,

Just punish them directly.

Why bother with this verbal quarrel and only add to the chaos?"

Yun Che stood tall with his head held high, his hands behind his back, his entire body radiating a sense of awe-inspiring righteousness.

His eyes were like torches, and he said in a deep voice, "Expel yourself from Lingshan. This place is no longer suitable for you to cultivate."

True Man Jiuyang held a whisk in his hand, bowed respectfully, and said earnestly: "Emperor, please think twice!

If we let him go down the mountain like this, I'm afraid he might develop demonic thoughts.

It will certainly disturb the peace of the world in the future.

How about I give him two forgetfulness pills to relieve his troubles."

Chen Xuan stood beside Yun Che, looking worried.

He persuaded, “Yes, Yun Che, it is really inappropriate to let him go down the mountain so easily.

If you don't want to see him, you might as well let the real person handle it.

Just give him a little punishment, don't let this hidden danger remain."

Xuanqing knelt on the ground with his head lowered.

He just kowtowed heavily.

Then he slowly raised his head, his forehead already red, which was the mark left by kowtow hard.

His eyes were full of pleading, and he said, "Master,

I know my crime, you can punish me as you please.

Even if you take away all my cultivation, I will have no complaints.

I only ask that you please do not drive me down the mountain, and let me continue to stay in Lingshan."

Yun Che listened quietly, lowering his eyes to look at him, his eyes revealing a complex emotion.

There is helplessness, emotion, and a trace of imperceptible heartache.

He slowly said, "Grandmaster? You still know that I am your grandmaster.

Xuanqing, you are really good.

This appearance makes me seem not very generous.

I have already done my best for you by letting you come down the mountain.

After you get down the mountain, you can go to the Biyu Immortal Gate and visit Murong Yu..."

Xuan Qing was slightly stunned when he heard this, as if he had not expected such an arrangement.

Then he retorted: “Murong Yu?

How could a mere mortal like him establish an immortal sect in just a hundred years? Master, you must be deceiving me.

I know you don't want to see me, so why use this excuse?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Che swung his sleeves and glared at him.

He shouted loudly: "How dare you question my words!

The arrangement of this deity has its own intentions.

If you don't obey, you will be ungrateful!

I originally intended to support you.

You are so ungrateful!"

Xuan Qing raised his head, looked up at him stubbornly, and said with a firm look: "Thank you very much, Master, please accept my cultivation.

Put me in a dungeon so I can never see her again.

I know that I am deeply sinful and do not deserve to see you again.

I was born with a bad fate, so I entered Taoism at a young age.

From then on, he was destined to live a lonely life.

Unable to marry and have children, perhaps this is my fate..."

Yun Che's hands, which were behind his back, began to tremble uncontrollably.

He thought to himself, "Xuanqing, you are truly a black lotus."

After saying this, he pulled out his right hand without hesitation.

In an instant, his eyes became as sharp as lightning, and he said coldly: "Since that's the case, then it's as you wish."

His big hand was exposed to the air, and a white medicine pellet appeared out of thin air in the palm of his hand. The pellet was just the size of a pearl.

He shouted sternly, "Xuanqing, get up!"

Xuanqing heard this and slowly stood up.

When Chen Xuan and the others saw the medicine pellets on Yun Che's palm, their expressions suddenly became extremely solemn.

Xuanqing's eyes also fell on Yun Che's hand, and he felt panic in his heart.

He picked up the pill with trembling hands, closed his eyes, and slowly put it into his mouth.

However, Yun Che suddenly laughed and praised: "You have guts. This is Hua Dao Powder.

It melts in your mouth and no amount of internal strength can force it out.

A grain of Taoism powder enters the stomach, and all Taoism is gone.

Xuanqing, are you satisfied with my punishment?"

Xuan Qing suddenly opened his eyes and said with a bow, "Your Majesty's methods are brilliant. Xuan Qing admires you."

Chen Xuan shook his head and sighed, only to see Xuan Qing's body begin to shake.

The Hua Dao Powder took effect in his body, causing him unbearable pain.

True Man Jiuyang quickly supported him, his expression panicking as he looked towards Yun Che and said, “Emperor, I will take my leave.”

After saying that, he picked up Xuanqing and turned into a stream of light and disappeared.

Shuang Yue, who was standing beside Yun Che, bowed slightly and said softly, "Emperor, you are tired too. Please return to the inner hall and rest."

Yun Che said nothing, but slowly closed his eyes.

Jun Yan, who was standing aside, looked at Yun Che with a look of shock on his face.

I thought to myself: Emperor, you are so scary!

The method is so vicious, it seems... I, Jun Yan, must learn something from him...
