A suffocating pressure descended upon the arena.
The sky seemed to darken.
Thousands of disciples instantly felt their breathing grow heavy.
The elders on the platform stood up one after another.
"Elder Huang…"
The man who had just arrived stood tall in the center of the arena. His long golden robe fluttered violently from the aura pouring out of his body.
This was Elder Huang Jin, one of the most powerful elders of the Azure Sky Sect.
And more importantly—
Zhao Tianlong's master.
His cold gaze fell directly on Lin Ye.
"You… dared humiliate my disciple?"
The air trembled with killing intent.
Many disciples stepped back in fear.
Even Su Qingyue frowned slightly.
Everyone knew Elder Huang was extremely protective of Zhao Tianlong.
But Lin Ye?
He just stood there.
Calm.
Even slightly amused.
He scratched his chin and muttered quietly,
"Hm… so the big boss finally appeared."
Inside his mind, the system suddenly rang.
[Ding!]
[Emergency Shameless Mission Triggered!]
Lin Ye's eyes lit up.
Here we go.
System Mission
A glowing panel appeared before him.
MISSION: SHAMELESS COURAGE
Objective: Anger Elder Huang by insulting him publicly.
Reward:
3,000 EXP
Random pill
+5 Shameless Points
Failure:
Host must bark like a dog every time Elder Huang speaks for 12 hours.
Lin Ye nearly choked.
"…What kind of punishment is that?!"
The system replied coldly.
[Host must maintain villain dignity.]
Lin Ye rubbed his temples.
Fine.
Let's do this.
Elder Huang stepped forward slowly.
Each step cracked the arena floor.
"Lin Ye."
His voice was cold like steel.
"You crippled my disciple…"
"And slapped him."
His eyes burned with rage.
"Do you know the consequences?"
The arena became silent.
Everyone believed Lin Ye would kneel and beg for forgiveness.
After all—
This was an elder.
But Lin Ye simply looked up at him.
Then he asked curiously,
"Are you Zhao Tianlong's father?"
The entire arena froze.
"…What?"
Elder Huang's eyebrow twitched.
Lin Ye continued innocently,
"You're protecting him so fiercely."
"I thought maybe you secretly raised him."
Gasps erupted everywhere.
Some disciples covered their mouths.
Su Qingyue's eyes widened slightly.
He… actually said that?
Elder Huang's face darkened instantly.
"INSOLENT BRAT!"
The pressure around him exploded.
But Lin Ye wasn't finished yet.
He tilted his head.
"Wait, wait."
"Maybe I'm wrong."
He suddenly snapped his fingers.
"Oh right!"
"You're not his father."
"You're his babysitter."
The arena erupted into chaos.
Some disciples almost fainted from shock.
Others laughed uncontrollably.
Even the elders looked stunned.
No disciple in the history of the sect had ever dared speak to an elder like this.
Inside Lin Ye's mind—
[Ding!]
[Mission Progress: 80%]
Lin Ye grinned.
Almost there.
Elder Huang's aura surged violently.
"You courting death!"
His palm lifted.
Terrifying spiritual energy gathered within it.
One strike from an elder could easily kill Lin Ye.
But just before he attacked—
A calm voice spoke.
"Elder Huang."
Everyone turned.
It was Sect Elder Luo, one of the neutral elders.
"Attacking a disciple publicly will damage the sect's reputation."
Elder Huang's hand paused.
But his killing intent remained.
"He crippled my disciple!"
Elder Luo replied calmly,
"The arena duel had no restrictions."
"The sect rules state that disciples accept the risk of injury."
The crowd murmured.
The rules were indeed clear.
Elder Huang's face became even uglier.
Meanwhile Lin Ye whispered quietly,
"System… is insulting him enough?"
The system replied instantly.
[Final requirement: one more insult.]
Lin Ye nodded.
Then he suddenly looked at Elder Huang seriously.
"Elder Huang."
Huang Jin glared at him.
"What now?"
Lin Ye spoke sincerely.
"I actually admire you."
The crowd blinked in confusion.
Even Elder Huang frowned.
"What do you mean?"
Lin Ye nodded respectfully.
"You raised Zhao Tianlong so well."
The elder looked slightly satisfied.
But then Lin Ye added—
"You taught him perfectly."
"How to lose."
Silence.
Total silence.
Then—
The entire arena exploded.
[MISSION COMPLETE!]
Reward Granted:
3,000 EXP
Spirit Recovery Pill
+5 Shameless Points
Lin Ye almost laughed out loud.
This system really loves chaos.
Elder Huang's patience finally snapped.
"ENOUGH!"
His aura erupted like a volcanic explosion.
The arena floor shattered.
"You think the sect rules can protect you forever?"
His voice became icy.
"Sooner or later…"
"I will kill you."
Lin Ye shrugged.
"You're welcome to try."
But deep inside—
He knew something important.
He had just made a terrifying enemy.
Meanwhile Su Qingyue watched silently.
Her gaze stayed on Lin Ye.
This man…
who had once been weak and arrogant…
now stood fearless even before an elder.
It was ridiculous.
It was reckless.
But strangely…
It was impressive.
She clenched her fists slightly.
Lin Ye…
What exactly happened to you?
Just as the tension grew heavier—
The system voice appeared again.
[Ding!]
[New Long-Term Mission Unlocked]
Lin Ye blinked.
Another one?
The screen appeared.
MISSION: STEAL THE HEROINE
Objective: Make Su Qingyue fall in love with the host.
Reward:
Heaven Rank Sword Technique
Massive Luck Increase
Failure:
Su Qingyue marries Zhao Tianlong in the future timeline.
Lin Ye stared at the mission.
Then slowly turned toward Su Qingyue.
She was looking at him coldly.
Their eyes met.
Lin Ye smiled.
Su Qingyue frowned slightly.
Inside his mind Lin Ye sighed.
"…System."
"This mission might be harder than fighting elders."
The system responded calmly.
[Host must believe in shameless power.]
Lin Ye grinned.
Fair enough.
Behind them…
Zhao Tianlong slowly regained consciousness.
His eyes opened.
And the first thing he saw—
Was Lin Ye smiling proudly in the arena.
Humiliated.
Defeated.
And surrounded by laughter.
Zhao Tianlong's eyes filled with hatred.
He whispered weakly.
"Lin Ye…"
"I will destroy you."
Lin Ye stretched lazily.
Then muttered,
"Looks like round three is coming."
And somewhere far away in the sect…
A much greater storm was already beginning to form.
