Please Spare My Life, Disciple of the Demon Lord

Chapter 174 I'm Absent

After hearing the news brought by Cang Shuzi, the three people from the academy became solemn.

Pei Xuanzhi did not speak. Instead, Su Ming said after a moment's silence, "We understand what Sect Leader Cang said. However, based on what you two have said so far, I'm afraid it is not enough to prove that Zizai Sect has any ill intentions towards the Trial Conference."

Upon hearing this, Bai Wangshu asked directly, "Three successive immortal sects were ambushed on the way, and we witnessed it with our own eyes, how can we not explain it?"

Facing Bai Wangshu's questioning, Pei Xuanzhi remained calm and remained silent.

Su Ming continued to explain: "According to what you two just said, among the three immortal sects, only Sanyuan Sect can confirm that it was attacked by Zizai Sect. As for the other two sects, one of them is unknown and the information is incomplete, so it cannot be confirmed. As for Beihai Sect, it was attacked by a monster, so it cannot be directly proved that it is related to Zizai Sect."

"Do you know what you are talking about?" Bai Wangshu frowned in extreme confusion, staring at the person in front of him, and said word by word, slowly and seriously, "If Wen Bumian didn't have bad intentions, why would he pretend to lurk in Sanyuan Sect and try to kill us everywhere?"

A kind of anger gradually emerged in her eyes, different from the crazy anger she had when she was mad about love, but a real anger.

"The Immortal Alliance was ambushed on the way to Qinghuai City and told you clearly who you were. Now you tell me that you can't prove it?"

Is this how the number one immortal sect does things?

Seeing Bai Wangshu getting angry, Xun Zhe also stood up and said, "Wenhe Academy understands that Sanyuan Sect was ambushed and its disciples were injured, so Elder Bai was inevitably emotional. However, Zizai Sect was established not long ago and practices elixirs. Although it has never joined the Immortal Alliance, it has never been heard to have done anything evil. It can be said that it was a sect established on its own. Based on what you two just said, it can only mean that Zizai Sect and Sanyuan Sect did have a fight. But based on this, if it is said that..."

Having said this, Xun Zhe stopped, his expression and words full of embarrassment and hesitation.

In the end, it was Cang Shuzi who took over his words and said calmly: "If it is a personal grudge, it is possible."

Hearing Cang Shuzi's sudden words, Bai Wangshu looked at him in disbelief.

Even Su Ming and Xun Zhe looked at him in surprise, but then they felt embarrassed.

Su Ming wanted to explain something, but Cang Shuzi interrupted him and continued, "The Sanyuan Sect understands what the two elders mean. This matter is of great importance. Wenhe Academy, as the first sect of the Immortal Alliance, will naturally be more cautious and will not just listen to one side of the story."

As soon as Cang Zhuzi said this, Bai Wangshu finally understood the attitude of Wenhe Academy, and the air he exhaled from his nose became a little turbid.

Su Ming and Xun Zhe's faces suddenly turned embarrassed. There were some things they could say, but if someone heard them, it would become a kind of prejudice and ridicule.

The two looked at each other, thinking with some difficulty about how to appease the Sanyuan Sect.

Fortunately, the dean spoke.

But Pei Xuanzhi just smiled and said, "In your opinion, if there really is someone with bad intentions towards the Trial Conference, can the Zizai Sect alone plan this?"

Pei Xuanzhi did not comfort her, but directly started the next topic. This avoidance made Bai Wangshu extremely unhappy.

A gust of cold wind blew across his heart again, causing Jiang Tingwan to shiver and almost fall off the tree.

But she didn't scream this time, because she understood and she should be angry. If she was still only angry about love matters, then the words he said to stimulate her before would be like talking to a cow.

Bai Wangshu was still angry about Su Xun and the others' attitude just now, so he did not answer.

"Of course not." Su Ming replied first.

"In this case, this matter needs to be thoroughly investigated. Elder Su, take a few elders from the courtyard to investigate the place mentioned by Sect Leader Cang to see if you can find any clues."

Pei Xuanzhi came forward, and Su Ming and Xun Zhe just followed his orders.

"Yes! Dean."

After saying this, Pei Xuanzhi looked at Cang Shuzi again and said:

"The concerns raised by the Sanyuan Sect are not without reason. However, there were already 17 sects before you came, and more allies will enter the city tomorrow. Regardless of whether someone disguised themselves as an immortal alliance to enter the city, once suspicion arises, it will hurt the friendship of the immortal alliance. This matter needs to be discussed together after all the friends of the immortal alliance arrive. Before that, this academy will issue a summons to the immortal alliance to let all the immortal sects enter the city as soon as possible."

He seemed to be summarizing the conversation, and the contradictions and conflicts just now had to subside after he opened his mouth.

The atmosphere in the entire hall was filled with the word "strong". Bai Wangshu's face turned pale, but after seeing his senior brother's calm expression, he had no choice but to endure it.

The news has already been brought to Qinghuai, and with Pei Xuanzhi in charge of handling the matter, there is no need for Cang Shuzi to say anything more.

He then stood up and bowed to Pei Xuanzhi to take his leave, his expression still calm and composed.

Led by the disciples of the academy, the two arrived at the residence arranged for them.

After the disciple who led the way left, Bai Wangshu snorted coldly and asked indignantly.

"The number one sect actually handles things this way! Do they look down on the Sanyuan Sect so much?"

"Yes!"

Cang Shuzi replied calmly. Bai Wangshu widened his eyes and looked at him in disbelief, but heard him continue.

"The world is so vast that there are countless cultivators who have seen the secrets of heaven and entered the path of cultivation. If independent cultivators who do not join a sect cannot become strong, they will be looked down upon and robbed by others. Today, the Sanyuan Sect is just being looked down upon. How can we not bear it?"

Cang Shuzi stared into the distance, his tone more of a self-deprecating acceptance of reality.

It was because of this sentence that Bai Wangshu fell silent.

Today, she finally felt the heaviness that loomed over her senior brother up close. Has her senior brother been bearing it all alone all this time?

Was this how he stood on the trial stage until the end?

Bai Wangshu choked, bit his lip and said nothing.

Cang Shuzi retracted his gaze and glanced at the people around him, "It's getting late, go to bed early, Junior Sister."

He said this gently, smiled at her, then turned and walked towards his room.

Bai Wangshu couldn't understand his smile, but he subconsciously felt sad, self-blaming and guilty.

"Brother!"

She called him, a little hesitant, a little impulsive, and finally she couldn't help but say the next sentence:

"sorry!"

Cang Shuzi's body stiffened, his eyes lit up, but he did not look back.

Bai Wangshu didn't know why she said this, maybe it was because Jiang Tingwan's scolding really woke her up, or maybe it was because today, she suddenly noticed the heaviness in her senior brothers' eyes and realized that she had been relying on their indulgence towards her and had been neglecting her work for so many years.

But no matter why, she sincerely wanted to say this now.

"I shouldn't have said those words to you, and I shouldn't have gone crazy for so long for a man who didn't belong to me... I'm sorry, brother, I was absent when you were going all out for the sect..."

After saying these words, Bai Wangshu felt her throat was a little swollen. If she spoke any slower, she would not be able to say these words.

Cang Shuzi paused, turned around slowly, fixed his eyes, and was slightly surprised. He looked at her for a long time, feeling a little complicated but relieved, and said: "Junior sister, you know that you never have to apologize to us, and you don't have to apologize."

He showed a beautiful smile and said this sentence. At that moment he was a little dazed, as if he had returned to many years ago.

Bai Wangshu stood there in a daze, her heart seemed to be gripped by something, until Cang Shuzi turned around and went into the house. She never gave up, but after many years, the tears that she had been reluctant to shed finally fell.

She raised her head and looked at the silent night. The moon was bright and the stars were shining. The clouds were moving slowly. From time to time, a light breeze blew through the branches of the trees, making rustling sounds. She finally saw something beyond the past. It turned out that there were so many scenes to see and sounds to hear in this world.

She closed her eyes, her mind abuzz with thoughts.

Jiang Tingwan, who was moved to tears just now, "shouted" again in his heart, "No? Your brothers don't need to apologize, others still need it..."

Jiang Tingwan wiped away her tears of emotion and corrected him responsibly in a crying voice.

Eh? This Cangshuzi is really too protective. You don't need it, but others do.

For example...

The end of Mu Yun!

For another example...

The end of Mu Yun!

For example...

The end of Mu Yun!

Important things should be said three times.

Watching the mist slowly dissipating in front of him, Jiang Tingwan finally mustered up the courage to call out Mu Yunzhong's name.
