Chapter 15

A cruel look was shown on Bai Tan's face, "Not attending? Then, would I* not become a coward? Allowing those slandering rumors to spread in Wu Lin, saying that I* am a boy toy that uses a pretty appearance to obtain others' liking and became the Sect Leader only by using my body, using the Arts of Enchantment, that thousands had rode and ten thousands had fucked? I*cannot bear this unpleasantness. They want to see what I* look like then I* will let them see."

Li Wuzhang stopped moving as though he was a freezing cicada. These rumors, originated from Yue Yin Palace, were indeed spreading rapidly.

Ever since the former Gong Zhu(1) Qi Ye died, there was no one to lead the members of Yue Yin Palace and as a result, there had been endless internal conflict. Till date, the position of Gong Zhu was left empty so the Er Tang Zhu, Fu Lu was temporarily put in charge.

Fu Lu was one of Qi Ye's godson and so, it was natural that he hated Bai Tan a lot. Moreover, he had done well in the previous Great Wu Lin Assembly and became one of the seven strong fighters in the Wu Lin of the Western Region. This gave him the desire to rule over the Wu Lin of the Western Region. Hence, he put up a bounty in Jiang Hu for Bai Tan's head as well as spread rumors as he pleased, trying to force him to come out and to step up for a battle. There were two motivations for carrying out such an act, one was to avenge Qi Ye and two was to make use of this opportunity to prove that he was in no way inferior to Wu Yanfu, the former overlord of the Wu Lin in the Western Region.

The rumors were like a rolling snowball, the more it rolled, the larger it would become, the more there would be. Currently, almost the entire Western Region Jiang Hu saw Bai Tan as the shame of Wu Lin. The number of people who used him as a topic for after lunch talks was not small either. Even those "admirers" who wanted to see how good he looked, were not little. Even though Bai Tan had sent out ten rakshasas to kill quite a number of people, the rumors showed no sign of stopping and that made him so angry that he almost vomited blood. He was absent during last year's Great Wu Lin Assembly because he was in seclusion to practice his skills. If he were to not attend the Great Wu Lin Assembly this year too, who knows how the rumors would morph.

After some thoughts, Bai Tan stopped hesitating and immediately picked up a brush to write a return letter.

Li Wuzhang looked at him, not without worry, "Sect Leader, do think through it carefully before proceeding. You have yet to reach the last level. It is too risky."

Bai Tan ignored him. With a raise of his hand, a large bald eagle flew in through the window accompanied by the sounds of its wings flapping. In the next instant, it had flown afar with the letter held in its mouth. His eyes chased after the eagle as it blended into the night sky and said as though he was pondering, "Just in time, using the Great Wu Lin Assembly, I* will also need to find someone suitable to help me* in the cultivation of the Sky of Six Desires."

Wu Yanfu's expression changed when he heard it and looked towards him.

He touched his own face and said in self-mockery, "Shixiong, what do you think? With this face of mine, would it be difficult to seduce a man whose neili(2) is top grade and pure, that also practices Tong Zi Gong(3), to fall in love with me?"

Li Wuzhang moved his line of sight away uncomfortably and looked at the wall. "Sect Leader is joking, right?"

Bai Tan smiled, "Either way, it can't be cleaned, so I might as well as make it come true. As long as it is possible to practice the Sky of Six Desires, secure the position as the overlord of the Western Region Wu Lin and have everyone look up at me, I will see who would still dare to mention the words 'boy toy'. It is just trampling on my own body, in any event, this body of mine was supposed to be given to the old devil. An intercourse with anyone is the same, I* am not a woman either so it is not like I can get pregnant, can I?"
