Jaw-Dropping Son-in-Law

Chapter 1988

Meanwhile, in Elysian Hall, an assessment for Novice was being held.

Junie wanted to strengthen Elysian Hall. Hence, she had to bring in recruits. After the ceremony, Elysian Hall announced to the world that they were in the process of recruiting.

The Vias family was to provide financial support while Folo Palace was responsible for providing a safety guarantee.

With that, India's martial artists began flocking to the recruiting process.

Within days, there were countless of them who were applying to become a Novice.

Indeed, Elysian Hall was on the crest of a wave. Upon asking, they'd received financial support, manpower support, and backers.

Not only that, but Junie also promoted four seniors to be Elysian Masters of Elysian Hall.

Including her, there were a total of five Elysian Masters. Together, they had the highest authority over Elysian Hall.

Hence, they were required to have a discussion among themselves before handling major matters.

Of course, Junie was still the one making the final decisions because she was the first Elysian Master.

Nevertheless, Elysian Hall hadn't been peaceful at all.

From time to time, they'd have foreign powerful figures paying them a visit.

These visitors were mostly there to investigate Fen Tian's wedding.

Junie was well-prepared, though. She'd already ordered her people to keep their mouths shut and tell those visitors that they had no idea what happened.

Apart from Elysian Hall, all the martial artists from India's martial arts world were also instructed by King Folo to not reveal anything.

Since they didn't want to end up like Fen Tian, everyone knew to keep their opinions and knowledge to themselves.

That was why all the investigators from foreign countries hadn't gotten any useful information out of them over the past half a month.

However, although the investigators didn't find anything useful, the elders and Elysian Master of Elysian Hall had discovered something shocking.

They found out that the person who killed Fen Tian and ascended the throne with Junie was actually Chu Tianfan.

The elders of Elysian Hall didn't know much about Chu Tianfan because they'd been hiding in the mountains to avoid Fen Tian for the past decades.

Not only did they not know when Ye Fan became famous, but they also had no clue regarding the fall of Ye Fan.

However, they recently found out that Chu Tianfan was once a powerful figure in Sky Ranking, but he'd been listed as an enemy of the world after the evil deeds he'd committed.

When they found out about the truth, Elysian Hall's head of elders, the four newly appointed Elysian Masters, and elders went to see Junie together.

“Ms. Junie, you're making a mistake! Here at Elysian Hall, we'd only get involved with honorable people. Over the past centuries, our sect had always been righteous and transparent, and that's why everyone knows how fair and proper we are. You, as the leader, have the responsibility to uphold the sect's identity. You mustn't get involved with an evil person like him. Why are you asking us to hide his tracks and protect a despicable person like him now? When we get exposed, Elysian Hall's reputation of being upright would be tarnished! Besides, if we keep our mouths shut now, we'd be considered accomplices. Fortunately, we still have time to correct the mistakes made. Our suggestion is to tell the whole world that Chu Tianfan is hiding with the Vias family. After that, we should link up with the strong fighters from the other countries and restore justice by taking him down! If we do that, Elysian Hall will surely get respected by the martial arts world. In fact, we could even get famous overnight!” the elders of Elysian Hall suggested.

However, Junie rejected them sternly. “Not only I, but Elysian Hall too owe Ye Fan that much! If it wasn't for him, would Fen Tian be dead? Would we be able to have our revenge? If it wasn't for him, I would've died in Fen Tian's hands instead of being in this position today!”

“Ms. Junie, I remember you've healed someone back in China. The person you healed was Chu Tianfan, wasn't it? Since you've already saved his life once, the score is settled, no? Why do you feel like you're still owing him a favor? Of course, we know how kind you are. Fine, then. We won't attack Chu Tianfan ourselves. However, we must tell the whole world where Chu Tianfan is. That's the only way we can distance ourselves from him. Otherwise, all our hard work in building Elysian Hall will be in vain once we're labeled as his accomplices! By then, we're doomed! Please see the bigger picture, Ms. Junie. Although you're a woman, don't be so emotional!” the four Elysian Masters urged assertively.

In fact, there was a hint of displeasure in their words, and they sounded like they were threatening her.

Hearing that, the sect's elders advised as well, “Please see the bigger picture, Ms. Junie. Don't be so emotional! Otherwise, Elysian Hall will be done for!”

“Please focus on the big picture, Ms. Junie!” everyone in the hall shouted in unison.

They were so stern that they sounded like there was no way they could accept Junie saying no to them.

Upon hearing that, Junie was infuriated because she found their words degrading. Did they just call me emotional? That's an insult!

“Atrocious! What are you guys trying to do? Are you guys trying to usurp me?” Junie stood up and thundered.

However, Junie was undoubtedly weaker than them, and she wasn't as experienced. Hence, none of the Grandmasters took her statement seriously. “Ms. Junie, we're just taking the bigger picture into consideration. We don't harbor other intentions. At times, some things are to be sacrificed for the fate of the sect! That's your responsibility, Ms. Junie! We urge you to consider our suggestion. Otherwise, you'd be considered irresponsible, Ms. Junie,” some Elysian Masters uttered coldly.

Junie's lips curled into a smile. “It seems like you guys have discussed beforehand and came to force me into submission. However, let me be clear. Ye Fan is my friend, and he's also a friend of Elysian Faction. As long as I'm still alive and kicking, Elysian Faction will be on friendly terms with Ye Fan. If you dare, you can kill me and take my position as the head!”

Junie was so angry that she'd put her life on the line.

Upon hearing that, the expressions on the four Elysian Masters and the elders' faces changed.

Initially, they thought Junie was just a weak rascal despite being the head of the sect. Hence, they thought she'd cave in and give up on Chu Tianfan if they were to be stern with her.

To their surprise, Junie managed to stand her ground despite her tender age. Did she just ask us to kill her instead?

Suddenly, the elders of the sect felt helpless.

Due to Junie's lack of prestige, most of the elders were not fond of their young head of the sect.

However, they wouldn't dare to usurp Junie because her position was endorsed by King Folo and the other Supremes.

If they were to either kill or usurp her, they couldn't afford to deal with the response from Folo Palace. In fact, King Folo and the others might get so angry that Elysian Hall could be destroyed as a consequence.

Although the Elysian Masters knew there was nothing they could do, they couldn't hide their anger, either. “Friend? Ms. Junie, have you fallen for him?” they asked coldly.

Their words were outright disrespectful toward the head of the sect. However, they couldn't care less.

After all, they were older and more experienced than Junie. In fact, they were all stronger than her. Naturally, they didn't feel the need to respect her.

What's the worst-case scenario? They can kill me and usurp me if they want. Since her counterparts had shown such disrespect, Junie decided to return the favor. “So what if I like him? So what if I don't? If I were to bear his child, what can you do in retaliation?”

When Junie wasn't even afraid of what was the worst outcome for her, she had nothing to lose. Furious, she disregarded all the consequences and didn't hold back on her words.

The elders of Elysian Faction were infuriated. “Y-You... You're the head of Elysian Faction! How could you say such nonsense?”

The elders were trembling with anger. She's ridiculous! Is that something the head of a faction should say? Shouldn't she think of ways to strengthen the sect? Why would she think about having a child with an outsider? That was exactly what the ancient president of India did! Instead of strengthening the country, he kept thinking about marrying into China and becoming a live-in son-in-law. In the end, he'd brought shame to the whole of India! If the head of Elysian Hall really ends up having a child with an outsider, Elysian Faction would be so embarrassed! In fact, that would make us a laughingstock!
