Chapter 2697: The Source
If this world had Google, the two novels would have been the most searched topics in recent days.
Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue were among the strongest experts in the world. One was the top figure of the orthodox sects, whereas the other was the master of the Devil Sect. Furthermore, they were both incredible beauties who commanded great popularity. If Yu Yanluo was the dream lover of the secular world, the two of them were the dream lovers of the cultivation world.
Yun Jianyue had many fans. She was the number one goddess in the Devil Sect and the underground world. There were even some in the orthodox sects who had been charmed by her. It wasn't without reason that she was known for her seduction arts.
Countless people had had their hearts broken when she first made her debut as a cultivator. They had known she was a venomous rose, but she was so alluring that they couldn’t stop themselves from falling for her. Who knew how many people fantasized about her in the dead of night?
But it would be heresy for someone from an orthodox sect to fall in love with someone from the Devil Sect, let alone its master. Thus, no one dared to reveal their crush for Yun Jianyue in public, resulting in her appearing to be slightly less popular than Yan Xuehen.
Either one becoming taken would have been explosive news, but to think that they would both be taken at the same time... And to the same man, no less! What was even more shocking was that the man was their disciples’ man too! This was a massive scandal of unprecedented proportions!
Everyone in the capital was shocked beyond words. The first thing they asked each other upon meeting was, “Have you read it?”
In taverns, people argued with puffed cheeks.
“It must be fake! It has to be fake! How can a fairy like Sect Master Yan fall for a man?”
“She might be a fairy, but she’s still a woman. The regent is the greatest man in the world. It isn’t surprising for her to fall in love with him.”
“It’s one thing if it’s any other man, but the regent is her disciple’s husband! How can she steal her disciple’s man?”
“What’s so surprising about that? Take a look at the historical annals! It’s common and even praised for sisters to share a husband in imperial harems and noble clans. Why can’t a master and a disciple share a husband then?”
