After Defying the Villain's Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!-Chapter 337 - Everyone’s Strange, Madness Intensifies?

The Jiuyan Sect was full of madmen, and wherever he went, he would be stared at with grinning faces.

Rather than dealing with those lunatics, he preferred to be a lazy fish in his own pavilion.

But this was not a solution!

Jiang Chen sighed inwardly.

The Grand Sect Competition was imminent.

Now, his junior brothers and sisters were all wholeheartedly in seclusion to prepare for the competition.

Even Mu Kui, who had followed him back to the sect, was continuously throwing punches towards the sky at the summit of the Ninth Peak, then shouting, “Open the Heavens.”

Jiang Chen knew the Grand Sect Competition was important.

However, whether the Jiuyan Sect could advance to an Upper Domain sect was not important to him. What mattered was that he could use it as a reason to return to the Upper Domain!

The plot of this life was developing quickly and collapsing in absurd ways.

At this point, he indeed needed a legitimate reason to return to the Central Domain to plan for the impending crisis facing the Jiang family.

Admittedly, he could go back on his own, but he was well aware that the Jiang family had sent him to the Central Domain to ensure his safety, and they had paid a significant price for it.

If he were to return on his own, given his father’s volatile temperament, he would surely break his legs.

Then his mother would break his father’s legs...

And then, for his safety, the Jiang family’s Old Ancestor would find a way to send him back...

Compared to that, returning to the Upper Domain using the Grand Sect Competition as a pretext was naturally the best choice.

But the problem now was this Grand Sect Competition was different from the previous nine lives, with the geniuses of the Upper Domain also participating.

Jiang Chen was well aware of the gap between the Upper Domain and the Central Domain, and he knew that achieving his goal would not be easy with his current cultivation level.

He couldn’t improve his cultivation like his junior brothers and sisters through seclusion.

His only option was to rely on system rewards.

Jiang Chen originally thought that although everyone from the Jiuyan Sect was insane, the visiting disciples from the Ancient Pill Tower and the people from the Myriad Dao Demon Sect were all sane and could be used to earn system rewards.

But who would have thought?

These people had just arrived at the Jiuyan Sect when they were invited by the Jiuyan Old Ancestor for tea!

This tea session lasted for several days, and they have yet to come down from the main peak.

Jiang Chen felt that there was something strange about this teatime.

After all, how could a group of normal people enjoy such a lengthy conversation with a crazed Old Ancestor and not disperse for days?

What’s more important is that lately, the behavior of his own master, Xiao Hongyi, was also revealing some strangeness.

Before going mad, Xiao Hongyi rarely visited other peaks, and after going mad, she was even more protective, constantly following him under the guise of ‘protection’.

But recently, Xiao Hongyi had often stayed at the main peak.

Even when Jiang Chen went to look for her, Xiao Hongyi would only say, “Be good, your master is very busy. Go play by yourself.”

Such a change from her usual behavior naturally made Jiang Chen curious to investigate.

He personally went to the main peak and, after beating up some disciples there, successfully arrived at the Sect Master’s hall.

Then he discovered that the people from the Myriad Dao Demon Sect had gone mad.

The disciples from the Ancient Pill Tower had also gone mad.

All the lunatics were in the main peak’s Sect Master hall, drinking and chatting merrily, speaking nothing but madness, and constantly talking about some grand, heaven-defying plan!

Jiang Chen had never expected this.

He hadn’t realized that his ‘poisonous’ BUFF had become so incredibly powerful.

People from the Myriad Dao Sect and others had just visited the Jiuyan Sect and were driven insane!

It was simply terrifying!

After saying ‘Excuse me’, Jiang Chen immediately left the main peak and never set foot there again.

“Ah...”

Thinking of these things, Jiang Chen sighed deeply.

He just wanted to find some normal people to earn system rewards and establish a villainous persona.

Why was it so difficult?

While he was contemplating whether to go out or not... the voice of the Jiuyan Old Ancestor suddenly appeared in his mind.

“Jiang Chen, come to the main peak’s Sect Master hall immediately.”

“You think I’ll just come because you asked? Wouldn’t that make me look like I have no dignity?” Jiang Chen scoffed.

“Are you really not coming? This is a big deal!” the Jiuyan Old Ancestor asked again.

“No, I won’t go! Absolutely not!” Jiang Chen firmly shook his head.

“No matter how big the issue is, you can decide on your own, I won’t get involved.”

“Really?”

“Yes!”

“...”

The conversation between the two ended across the distance.

For some reason, Jiang Chen always felt that at the end of the conversation, the Jiuyan Old Ancestor seemed to let out a meaningful laugh.

But he didn’t care about it.

After all, he was now very clear that the main peak was a gathering place for lunatics, and he didn’t want to play with a bunch of madmen!

But soon, Jiang Chen regretted it.

......

The next day.

Jiang Chen was still lying in front of the pavilion, with his followers still serving him from behind.

Xiao Hongyi suddenly arrived, looking hesitant to speak and with a hint of redness in his eyes.

“What’s wrong with the master?” Jiang Chen was puzzled.

“Jiang Chen, you won’t forget me, will you?” Xiao Hongyi asked in return.

“Of course not,” Jiang Chen replied immediately.

Hearing this, Xiao Hongyi forced a smile and drifted away.

Jiang Chen still didn’t understand what was going on when Jiang Lianyue, who was in seclusion, arrived.

Jiang Lianyue didn’t speak.

She just went behind him and started massaging his shoulders with a look that was both smiling and crying.

“...Junior Sister Lianyue, what kind of madness is this?” Jiang Chen rubbed his forehead and said.

“I just missed Eldest Senior Brother a bit,” Jiang Lianyue sniffled and forced a smile.

“Eldest Senior Brother, can Lianyue still massage your back and shoulders in the future?”

“Well... that will depend on your performance,” Jiang Chen replied.

“Mmhm”

After a soft reply, Jiang Lianyue left.

This left Jiang Chen completely puzzled.

Then, Qingning came.

Without any hesitation, Qingning threw herself into Jiang Chen’s arms and refused to leave no matter what.

After holding him for a long time, Qingning finally looked up with teary eyes and asked, “Eldest Senior Brother, can Qingning still hold you like this and be with you in the future?”

“Of course,” Jiang Chen replied immediately.

“Eldest Senior Brother is the best!” Qingning smiled sweetly, contentedly left.

Jiang Chen shook his head.

In his view, it must be that Xiao Hongyi and the others’ madness had worsened, which was why they were speaking such nonsense.

This thought persisted until that night.

......

In the dead of night, just as Jiang Chen was about to try hard to see if he could break through the shackles of his cultivation, he noticed a sneaky figure appearing near his pavilion.

The person moved lightly and stealthily and in no time, reached the window ledge of Jiang Chen’s pavilion.

Jiang Chen’s eyes turned cold, and the Flame Blood Dragon Sword appeared in his hand.

Although he didn’t know who was so bold as to target him, if they intended to harm him, they would have to pay with their lives!

Soon, the person leaped in from the window.

With the help of the light inside the room, Jiang Chen could see the person’s face clearly.

The person had a graceful figure, dressed in a plain white pill refiner’s robe, with an elegant and extraordinary appearance, and bright, intelligent eyes.

Suddenly, Jiang Chen was dumbfounded.

Because the person who had sneaked in during the middle of the night was none other than his tsundere Aunt, Shi Ning!

“Aunt Shi, aren’t you going a bit too far?” Jiang Chen’s head ached.

But the response he got from Shi Ning was:

“Jiang Chen, I know you were forced into an engagement with Nangong Jiuxi. It’s okay, I can understand your difficulties, so... shall we elope?”

“????”

Jiang Chen blinked blankly, his face almost turning into a question mark.
