Chapter 330: The Caring Junior Brother, Wang Haoran!

(The male lead should be currently pretending to be a righteous gentleman, lecturing my master and winning her favor with just a few words,)

(And also ruining my reputation as the Holy Son, making my master doubt my character.)

(What’s worse, after deceiving my master, he heads straight to my little junior sister’s room, and they discuss cultivation for a long time.)

(Until late at night, the male lead pretends to leave, but with the late hour and my junior sister’s kindness, she lets him stay in the next room.)

(Although nothing intimate happens, spending the night together makes their relationship more ambiguous.)

“……”

That’s it? Just like that?

Inside the house, listening to Li Yuan’s inner voice, Wang Haoran felt a bit anxious—

I earn your master’s favor with just a few words?

What kind of lines do I say to achieve that? Spell it out for me!

I’m the male lead in a brain-dead feel-good novel; my brain’s long gone. You can’t expect me to think of lines myself!

Unfortunately.

Even after a long wait, Li Yuan’s inner voice didn’t tell Wang Haoran what exactly to say.

Nor did it mention how to ruin the reputation of the Holy Son.

So unreliable!

Feeling helpless but maintaining a calm facade, Wang Haoran took a few steps forward, looking at Shangguan Yunlan’s face.

Then he spoke up calmly—

“Master-Aunt, don’t you think you’re indulging Senior Brother too much?”

“……”

Sighing, Shangguan Yunlan replied.

Naturally, her nephew was angry at being falsely accused of leering at a woman bathing, and therefore his tone towards her was somewhat disrespectful.

She could only try to console him.

“Haoran, I always knew you were innocent.”

“The moment your senior brother approached the wall, I noticed him. I called you both here to give him a chance to admit his mistake.”

“But he not only refused to admit it, but also falsely accused you stubbornly.”

“What a misfortune for our sect!”

Her tone was filled with helplessness.

“However, rest assured, I’ve already punished him. I will also rigorously teach and guide him in the future.”

Shangguan Yunlan knew her eldest disciple was more shaken than injured by her swipe, but he would still need a couple of weeks to recover.

She hoped he would reflect well during this time.

Wang Haoran, hearing this, just shook his head.

“It’s not just about me; other disciples are involved too!”

He took another step forward.

“Master-Aunt, think carefully.”

“Senior Brother dared to peep at you while you bathe. What about other female senior and junior sisters? Can you be sure he wouldn’t do the same to them?”

“You’re in the Legends realm, so naturally he wouldn’t succeed. But those female disciples weaker than him…”

“This…”

Shangguan Yunlan hesitated: “I don’t think so… Li Yuan has a good reputation among the disciples… except for being too much of a sycophant…”

“Good reputation, because he appears devoted to my senior sister?”

Wang Haoran pinpointed Shangguan Yunlan’s hesitance:

“If he’s truly devoted, why would he spy on you bathing?”

“Master-Aunt, have you considered…”

Following the plot revealed in the inner voice, Wang Haoran began to tarnish Li Yuan’s character—

“Senior Brother’s devotion could be a facade?”

“Just think, if a junior sister suddenly came forward, claiming the Holy Son harassed her, would anyone believe her?”

“Nobody would, because everyone thinks Senior Brother is devoted to my senior sister, having no room in his heart for anyone else. How could he harass other girls?”

“Moreover, he’s the Holy Son of our sacred land.”

“Such a high status and good reputation, in this situation, even if someone was harassed, who would dare speak out?”

“This…”

Shangguan Yunlan hesitated.

In the past, she trusted her disciple’s character.

But knowing her disciple attempted to peep on her bathing tonight…

She inwardly felt Wang Haoran’s words made a lot of sense!

“However, such matters require evidence…”

Just as Shangguan Yunlan wavered.

Wang Haoran suddenly stepped forward, grabbing her shoulders!

Such a bold move startled Shangguan Yunlan!

“What are you doing?!”

Furrowing her brows, Shangguan Yunlan raised her right hand, exuding an imposing aura.

But she didn’t bring it down.

The reason she didn’t strike immediately was because she believed her nephew to be a reasonable child deserving an explanation.

Moreover… if she struck without understanding and her junior sister found out…

She might get slapped by her junior sister too!

She knew how much her junior sister doted on her good nephew!

However.

If her nephew didn’t provide a reasonable explanation, she would undoubtedly punish him severely.

Under Shangguan Yunlan’s scrutiny, Wang Haoran slowly spoke.

“Master-Aunt, you’re very angry now, correct?”

“But have you considered my senior sister?”

“Right now, being touched by me infuriates you to the point of wanting to kill. But my senior sister has endured your disciple’s harassment every single day for years!”

“Your senior brother…is just pursuing your senior sister. He hasn’t laid a hand on her like you did!”

Reasonable rebuttal, but I won’t listen!

Moreover, I’ll twist your words and accuse you!

Wang Haoran grabbed Shangguan Yunlan’s shoulders firmly, looking into her eyes.

One word, one line, with righteous indignation—

“Master-Aunt, do you truly believe that?”

“For the past three years, my senior brother has blocked my senior sister at Second Peak daily, publicly confessing and attracting a crowd.”

“Master-Aunt, can you truly say, without remorse, that this is mere pursuit and doesn’t disrupt my senior sister’s life, doesn’t make her uncomfortable?”

“……”

If it were just a matter of ten days to half a month, it could be seen as normal pursuit… but to persist for several years despite clear rejections…

Shangguan Yunlan couldn’t refute Wang Haoran’s words.

“……No.”

“There you have it.”

“Master-Aunt, did you know?”

“My senior sister has endured senior brother’s harassment for so long, feeling utterly sick of it, wanting to beat him up.”

“But because he is your disciple, she doesn’t dare to act physically or use harsh words, enduringly rejecting him time and again—”

“My senior sister has silently endured for so long, she’s on the verge of depression!”

Wang Haoran’s eyes reflected pain and righteous fury:

“So, as a caring junior brother, I can’t stand by any longer!”

“I won’t let my senior sister suffer anymore!”

tln : this is why you should never use nepotism in life. it will ruin your company.
