"Me? No way, I've been cultivating all along, how could I have upset you? Do you blame me for focusing on cultivation and not accompanying you for fun?" Lin Yifan asked.

"Don't you have any idea about the guilty things you've done?"

Fangfang was very angry, unsure whether Lin Yifan truly didn't know or was pretending not to know.

"What guilty thing did I do? I've been normal all along."

Lin Yifan countered, looking bewildered, not understanding what the other party meant.

"Honestly, did you defile a young girl outside?" Fangfang asked.

Perhaps, Lin Yifan truly hadn't done anything shameful to them, so it would be better to keep a slightly honest stance, lest he unjustly accuse a good person later.

"How could I possibly do such a shameless thing? I'm so pure, so devoted, so loving towards you all."

Lin Yifan wondered who Fangfang listened to outside, doubting his devotion.

"You're anything but pure; you're a big pervert. Don't think I don't know. Tell me! Did you or not?" Fangfang questioned again.

"No!"

Lin Yifan responded firmly.

"Then why would someone come to the door, proposing to Master?" Fangfang questioned, waiting to see how Lin Yifan would explain.

"A proposal? No way? Is this really happening? Who is the person? Could they be a creep?"

Lin Yifan felt a bit anxious. Proposals were something grown men did, so why would anyone propose to Master?

"Elder of the Wudang Sect and his disciple," Fangfang replied.

At this point, Lin Yifan realized Mu Xueqing was behind this.

"Oh come on! I just took off a few pieces of clothing, how does that count as defiling? I'm speechless!"

Though Lin Yifan spoke quietly, Fangfang's keen ears still heard him.

Seeing Lin Yifan admit the facts, she immediately grabbed Lin Yifan's ear, furiously questioning, "What did you say? You took off a girl's clothes? This is intolerable. I must kill you, the scoundrel who flirts everywhere, for Jiajia and the others!"

With that said, Fangfang drew the sword from her side, ready to stab Lin Yifan.

At this point, Lin Yifan quickly stopped her, "No, Fangfang, hold your sword! Let me explain; the facts aren't what you imagine them to be."

"Not like that? Then what?" Fangfang angrily asked, wielding her sword.

"Once I'm face-to-face with the girl and confront her, you'll understand," Lin Yifan replied.

In any case, both issues need resolving, so why not solve them together?

Fangfang gave Lin Yifan a chance; perhaps, he was truly innocent.

So, she snorted coldly, "Hmph! Come with me quickly!"

Lin Yifan followed behind Fangfang eagerly, not daring to utter a word.

Upon entering the reception hall, the Medicine Saint sternly questioned, "Scoundrel! Did you defile the girl's innocence?"

"Master, this is truly a misunderstanding!"

Lin Yifan answered calmly, showing no hint of fear.

If the Medicine Saint wanted to kill him, he would have done so long ago. The fact that he didn't act proves Lin Yifan still holds some value. Therefore, no matter how fierce the Medicine Saint appeared, Lin Yifan remained unafraid.

"What's so misunderstanding about it? You publicly demanded my disciple sacrifice herself to you and specifically went to a secluded place to violate her. If you don't take responsibility, Zhou Ziqing will never forgive you."

Zhou Ziqing immediately accused Lin Yifan, leaving him no easy escape.

The opponent was aggressive, clearly prepared; Lin Yifan glanced at Mu Xueqing wearing a red wedding gown beside her, sarcastically asking, "Wasn't this terrible idea thought up by you?"

If the idea was indeed hers, then he wouldn't feel obligated to be polite.

"What idea? I don't know what you're talking about."

Mu Xueqing kept a stern face, forcing Lin Yifan to explain the general course of events.

"What happened between us, we both know very well. I did say in front of many people that if you're willing to sacrifice yourself, I'll let your junior brother go. But after entering the fifth level of the Imperial Palace, I didn't defile a single part of your body, so don't falsely accuse me!" Lin Yifan responded.

"You lecherous scoundrel, still claiming you didn't defile a single part of my disciple's body? You took off her clothes, and yet you boast shamelessly?"

Zhou Ziqing was furious, pointing at Lin Yifan's nose, scolding.

Lin Yifan calmly faced the situation and candidly admitted, "Yes, I did take off her clothes, but I didn't remove them completely; moreover, while removing them, I kept my head turned away, not gazing at her exposed parts."

Hearing Lin Yifan's explanation, Mu Xueqing felt somewhat comforted; this had always been a knot in her heart. At that time, she thought her upper body had been fully seen by Lin Yifan, and had been conflicted with herself ever since.

For girls, their innocence is paramount. For a brief moment, she considered compromising and marrying Lin Yifan; fortunately, it was only a fleeting thought and she didn't insist on it, otherwise, she would only be harming herself.

On the other hand, Fangfang couldn't comprehend Lin Yifan's actions.

Though it wasn't completely exposed, he had already loosened the girl's clothing, which was wrong; thus, she couldn't forgive Lin Yifan.

"Is a girl's clothing something you can remove so casually? You left her with only an undershirt, yet shamelessly claim you didn't defile or see it—truly disgraceful."

Zhou Ziqing scolded loudly, extremely angry.

"Elder of the Wudang Sect, I don't understand the intention behind your slander. Is it truly to seek justice for your disciple, or is there another reason?"

Lin Yifan fearlessly faced his accuser.

Denying that the opponent had other motives would hardly be believable.

"You think I'm as shameless as you, scheming to coerce my disciple? Of course, I'm seeking justice for her," Zhou Ziqing replied matter-of-factly.

"If you're so angry and consider me scum, why force her to marry me? Isn't that subjecting her to pain without concern? That's contradictory!"

Lin Yifan's words woke many, including Fangfang.

As the saying goes, 'hostility does not come without cause'; Zhou Ziqing's serious accusation against Lin Yifan must have an underlying purpose, though the reason was unknown.

The Medicine Saint had long been aware of the Elder's ulterior motives, now the truth had surfaced.

By forcing his disciple to marry his disciple, the motive was none other than seeking entry into the Realm of Longevity. After all, many prominent figures knew Lin Yifan possessed two Immortal Rings, equivalent to half-stepping into the Realm of Longevity, and would surely want to curry favor.

There are many ways to curry favor: some offer extremely valuable gifts, some seek the closest alliances, while others focus on notable disciples around him, believing he would take them to the Realm of Longevity, just like Zhou Ziqing.
