Everyone else was okay, but the most angered were Jun Linseng and Jiang Taiyuan—being called ’Jun Consort’ and ’Jiang Consort’ was a huge disgrace.
The moment Chen Jiuge and Wudao Tian came offstage, they realized what they had just done in the play.
"Eldest Senior Brother, you’ve doomed me!" Chen Jiuge replayed the events in his mind: treating the Fifth Elder as a Maid, engaging in a combat competition with the Great Elder... His future suddenly seemed bleak.
Wudao Tian spoke in despair, "Junior Brother, I think I, your Senior Brother, might have it even worse."
"If you guys are alright, you should probably run first. After all, with so many people here, the embarrassment might be quite substantial," Jun Sandao reminded them with a sly smile.
"Thanks for the heads-up, Junior Brother," Wudao Tian said to Jun Sandao.
Chen Jiuge added, "Yes, thanks, Senior Brother!"
"We’re outta here," they declared in unison.
"Hold up, I think I should lay low for a bit too," Yue Yinghua suddenly squeezed in between the two, indicating she wanted to join them.
Once the three of them managed to escape the square, Die Luowu said with lingering fear, "It’s a good thing Senior Sister Wen reminded us in time! Otherwise, if I had gone in..." She could hardly believe the scene; it was too terrifying.
Wen Ruo also felt a wave of retrospective fear; she had initially wanted to enter as well, but thankfully, she had resisted the urge. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NoveI~Fire.net
Bai Yao watched as the five Golden Immortal masters, who had been on stage moments before, disappeared. She silently prayed for the three escapees.
When Chen Jiuge and the others returned, they saw five Golden Immortals, corners of their mouths turned up in cold smirks, holding small whips and standing at the entrance.
"My dear eldest disciple, where were you planning to run off to?" Jun Linseng caressed his little whip, chuckling.
"Master, what if I told you I was just a bit hungry and came over to my junior brother’s house for a meal? Would you believe me?" Wudao Tian swallowed nervously as he tried to argue.
"Eat? Master will treat you to something even tastier." Jun Linseng’s expression changed drastically, and in an instant, he suspended Wudao Tian in mid-air.
A harsh whip cracked on his backside. "So, a ’damned eunuch,’ is it? You hate eunuchs the most, right?"
"Master, that was fake, fake!" Wudao Tian cried out miserably.
Chen Jiuge didn’t know his Eldest Senior Brother’s fate; he just stared in terror at the two Elders in front of him.
"Great Elder, Fifth Elder."
"Little guy, how did you like being served by me?" Yue Shanghua said with a coy smile.
"Fifth Elder, it was just acting," Chen Jiuge argued.
The Great Elder was understanding. "I don’t blame you."
"He’s all yours, and your disciple is mine. No problem, right?" Ye Sheng said with a cold smirk.
"Don’t worry, you can beat him as much as you like," Yue Shanghai replied without looking back.
Actually, Senior Sister Yue had it the worst. In the end of the story, Senior Sister Yue castrated the Third Elder, Jiang Taiyuan, making him the second personal attendant, and Great Elder Ye Sheng was demoted to become a male pet again.
"Little Yue, let Martial Uncle here test how much your Cultivation has improved?" Ye Sheng had just approached when he heard Jiang Taiyuan’s voice, seething with rage.
"Old Jiang, how could you do this?" Ye Sheng was displeased.
"Great Elder," Yue Yinghua said gratefully.
"So, what do you suggest, Old Ye?" Knowing Ye Sheng for so many years, Jiang Taiyuan understood him too well; he wouldn’t let this go just like that.
"Of course, we verify it together," Ye Sheng said with a beaming smile.
"No, no, someone help!"
It looked bad, but in reality, those Elders were just joking around. In the long journey of life, to avoid losing their humanity, Golden Immortals constantly seek amusement to keep their emotions fluctuating.
So, Chen Jiuge and the other two didn’t actually suffer any serious injuries, but the pain was definitely real!
