Chapter 93: CC - Cultivation Court
Yu Xuan looked down at the three defeated disciples sprawled in front of him. His voice was casual, but his gaze was sharp.
"So... how long have you all been doing this? And why not just cultivate like normal people? You must’ve known you’d be caught eventually."
Zhou gritted his teeth. "You’d never understand... someone born with talent, born with a silver spoon in their mouth—"
Yu Xuan raised an eyebrow, then shrugged like it wasn’t worth the effort.
"Alright then. I don’t need to know."
He refused the backstory itself.
"W-Wait! At least listen!!!" Zhou shouted, panic rising. This wasn’t how it was supposed to go. If the good guy didn’t hear the villain’s backstory, how was he supposed to get sympathy points and mercy?
Yu Xuan sighed, clearly reluctant. "Fine. Let me take a wild guess."
He clasped his hands behind his back, taking a thoughtful posture like a sage storyteller.
"You come from a prestigious clan. You were born with below average talent, so everyone ignored you. Then, by some ridiculous twist of luck, a mysterious manual, a wounded ancient beast, or maybe a talking rock, you suddenly got a chance to prove yourself."
He raised one brow and pointed dramatically.
"Then you got selected in the Heaven Immortal Sect, fueled by anger and resentment, and wanting to prove your worth, you did everything you can. Now you’re on a path of vengeance, robbing new disciples to fund your rise."
