“Indeed, Zhang Yun’s thoughts are like those of a sparrow, lacking any ambition. He is arrogant and complacent because of his talent. Master is better off without such a disciple.”
The aloof woman spoke as if she were trying to save face for her master.
“Master, since Zhang Yun is so ignorant of his own limitations, why not expel him from the Sword Mansion and let him fend for himself?” suggested the sinister-looking middle-aged man in black robes.
"Senior brother, I think this is somewhat inappropriate." The aloof woman disagreed with the man in black robes, causing the middle-aged man in black robes to frown slightly.
"What's wrong with that? Does my Sword Manor have to treat an outsider well while supporting him?" The middle-aged man in black robes looked somewhat displeased.
"No matter what, Zhang Yun was a guest personally invited by our master. To simply kick him out of the manor would damage the reputation of our Sword Manor and make us seem petty."
"What does Junior Sister think?"
The aloof woman's words made sense, but Zhang Yun was too ungrateful and needed to be taught a lesson so he would understand the limits of human nature.
The aloof woman slowly spoke: "Five days later, on the sword battle stage, I will arrange for someone to fight him. Zhang Yun will definitely be utterly defeated. At that time, he will understand the principle that there are always people more powerful than him. Perhaps, he will even beg to stay in the Sword Mansion and become a disciple of my Sword Mansion."
"Hmph, when the time comes, I will definitely test him myself," the middle-aged man in black robes sneered.
"Master, what do you think?" The aloof woman looked at the white-robed man's proud back and asked respectfully.

Chapter 198 Nonsense
"Are all the people in the Sword Mansion people who indiscriminately convict others and even kill people without distinguishing right from wrong?"
A sarcastic voice slowly escaped Zhang Yun's lips.
He steadily protected Zhuo Xinyan behind him. On the surface, he appeared calm, but in reality, his blood and qi were surging.
His true cultivation level was only at the ninth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm, while Jian Feixue was a genuine eighth level of the Heavenly Gang Realm.
The gap is not something that can be bridged overnight.
However, the fact that Zhang Yun, with his cultivation at the ninth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm, could withstand Jian Feixue's sword strike demonstrates just how powerful he was.
"Zhuo Xinyan, as an outsider of the Sword Mansion, secretly learned the Sword Mansion's sword techniques and refuses to admit it. Moreover, I saw it with my own eyes. How can you say that I am not distinguishing right from wrong?"
Jian Feixue said expressionlessly, "Do you, Zhang Yun, think I, Jian Feixue, am blind?"
"Zhuo Xinyan actually secretly learned swordsmanship?"
The commotion caused here attracted a lot of people, and they were all surprised to hear what Jian Feixue said in person.
"Zhuo Xinyan is quite beautiful, but I never expected her to be this kind of person. You can know a person's face but not their heart."
"Who is that person protecting Zhuo Xinyan? I don't think I've seen him before, and judging from his tone, he doesn't seem to be from the Sword Mansion."
"I suspect it's Zhuo Xinyan's accomplice."
"If they are truly accomplices, then aren't they also doomed?"
"Who knows? We'll see."
The onlookers started discussing it, with many looking forward to a good show.
After all, Jian Feixue is a member of the Enforcement Hall and has absolute enforcement power within the Sword Mansion.
“You’re not blind, you’re just stupid,” Zhang Yun said coldly.
These words caused an uproar. Everyone present stared wide-eyed at the white-clad youth whose fate was unknown.
In their minds, the one least daring to offend among the younger generation of the Sword Clan is Jian Feixue, without exception!
Jian Feixue's domineering and tyrannical personality is well-known, earning her the nickname "Tiger Mother," and even the most talented individuals dare not provoke her.
However, the boy in white actually called her stupid in public.
This is absolutely reckless!
"For Yunxiao's sake, I can forgive your foolish behavior. Get out!"
Jian Feixue frowned slightly, her killing intent subtly leaking out, yet she remained rational, simply shouting domineeringly, "Get lost!"
"You're so stupid, you won't admit it." Zhang Yun's eyes showed no fear as he calmly said, "If I said that the sword technique Zhuo Xinyan was practicing just now was given to me by me, I'm afraid someone as self-righteous as you wouldn't believe me, would you?"
"You gave it to me? What a joke!" Jian Feixue sneered.
Not only did she not believe it, but no one present believed it either.
As she said, it was a complete joke!
The superior and exquisite sword techniques in the Sword Palace are not something that everyone can possess.
"I've already told you, but you still won't believe me. Call out someone with discernment from your Sword Manor."
Zhang Yun laughed, with a hint of sarcasm. It wasn't that she was mocking Jian Feixue's insight, but rather that her impatient nature was truly unappealing.
"You think you can just yell like that? Who do you think you are?" Jian Feixue said coldly, her pride pushing her to the brink of rage.
Zhang Yun is clearly tired of living and looking for death!
"Why should I be the only one who can cultivate the sword techniques of your Sword Mansion, while I can only look up to your Sword Mansion in the way of the sword?"
Zhuo Xinyan also stood up to refute.
She admitted that the people of the Sword Mansion were extremely skilled in swordsmanship, but they were also too arrogant and actually thought that the swordsmanship of the Sword Mansion was the most powerful in the entire Cloud Sky Continent.
