The whole crowd of Spirit Beast sect people were emotional, cursing, berating Gu Qing Shan nonstop, as if the truth has already been determined and Gu Qing Shan really was the murderer that framed his subordinate on purpose.

Ning Yue Xi glanced at the spirit beasts, then at Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan shook his head.

Ning Yue Xi had no choice but to endure.

Gu Qing Shan looked at the Spirit Beast sect bunch, then at Wu Xing Wen who was smiling from ear to ear and sighed.

“I have to say, you lot picked a really good time to do this” he said with a slight unwilling tone.

Seeing him like that Ning Yue Xi stepped out and declared: “I also know how to do Soul Reading, I’ll do it”

“You can’t” Wu Xing Wen said, “you’re clearly on his side, this General forbids it!”

Ning Yue Xi glanced at him, her expression became blank, slowly spoke: “General Wu, I know you’re a person of Blue Clouds Pass, I also know you’re one of three Ding Yuan Generals of our army, one rank higher than I. But seeing how you do things, after the battle, I promise you, I will challenge you to a battle. Life and death”

With how Ning Yue Xi normally acts, to make her say that means she’s truly angry.

“Don’t do that, I’ll just accept to be Soul Read” Gu Qing Shan hold Ning Yue Xi back and said: “But I need an impartial party to do it, not Spirit Beast sect’s Elder”

All the guard cultivators around nodded.

This is natural, if Ning Yue Xi can’t do it then of course they can’t let the Elder do it either.

“Hmph, then who will it be?” Spirit Beast sect’s Elder scoffed.

“My Shifu” Gu Qing Shan answered.

Ning Yue Xi’s anger instantly went down by half ——–this guy, still as shameless as always.

Spirit Beast sect’s Elder laughed loudly, declaring: “Your Shifu? If it’s your Shifu, of course they would favor you, how could the General possibly accept that!”

But after he said so, he suddenly noticed everyone except Spirit Beast sect’s people were looking at him in pity.

“No one in this entire cultivation world would ever doubt my Shifu’s words, wouldn’t you say so, General Wu?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Wu Xing Wen stayed silent, but couldn’t help but nodded.

He knows his boundaries.

No matter how unwillingly, he must stop right here.

If Gu Qing Shan is scared and accepted to be Soul Read, he can only blame himself for being too weak-willed.

After all, everything is done according to military law, even Gu Qing Shan himself has already agreed, no one has to take responsibility, even Bai Hua Fairy herself couldn’t do anything but blame her disciple for being too soft.

But since Gu Qing Shan isn’t scared and is insistent that he did the right thing, not to mention using Bai Hua Fairy’s name like this, then there’s nothing else he could do.

Nevermind Wu Xing Wen, even Xuanyuan Tianzun wouldn’t dare touch a single hair on Gu Qing Shan right now.

Otherwise, if Bai Hua Fairy really got angry, no matter what General you are, no matter what military law there is, she’ll directly take your life.

“Hm, then tell me, just who is your Shifu?” Spirit Beast sect’s Elder suddenly realized something wasn’t right and asked right away.

Ning Yue Xi suddenly broke into laughter, then answered: “Bai Hua Saint”

The Spirit Beast sect’s Elder’s face changed.

Looking around at the guard cultivators in the tent, he realized they were all people of Blue Clouds Pass.

Those that he glanced at, a few lowered their heads, a few only smiled coldly at him.

Spirit Beast sect’s Elder glared at Wu Xing Wen, his face went grim.

“You tricked me” he said to Wu Xing Wen.

“No wonder you placed all of us at a remote place. No wonder you declared so strongly that no matter which sect’s disciple it was; you’d still take our side” Spirit Beast sect’s Elder spoke in a heavy tone.

“Bullshit!” Wu Xing Wen slapped the table as he stood up, angrily declared: “You were the one that wanted to sue him for arbitrarily killing your sect’s disciple!”

He answered very seriously: “This General is a Ding Yuan General, asides from the Saints themselves, everyone in the entire Alliance army has to follow my orders, and you dare to speak ill of me?”

“But you never told me that his Shifu is Bai Hua Saint herself!” Spirit Beast sect’s Elder angrily refuted.

Wu Xing Wen couldn’t take that to his face, loudly declared: “You’re Spirit Beast sect’s Elder and yet you didn’t even know that before suing, scram! Get out of here!”

Spirit Beast sect’s Elder calmed himself down, then suddenly turned and clasped his fist at Gu Qing Shan: “Our eyes were hidden, we’ve really offended you, please have it in yourself to forgive us”

Gu Qing Shan smiled and replied: “No worries, he didn’t mean to harm you, rather he wanted to harm me”

Spirit Beast sect’s Elder didn’t expect that answer, looked up to find his expression completely calm, not a single bit angry or annoyed at them, instead it was something else.

Spirit Beast sect’s Elder nodded at him in gratitude and brought the rest of Spirit Beast sect away.

The only one who was still unwilling to let it go was Li Chu Chen’s brother.

“He’s depending on his Shifu to get away from his crime…” he muttered, but quickly got grabbed by the others and lead away. historical

“Such ridiculousness, Gu Qing Shan, you’ve been wronged” Wu Xing Wen sighed, pretending to not know anything.

Gu Qing Shan smiled and replied: “It’s all fine”

He stared at Wu Xing Wen, and Wu Xing Wen stared at him.

Then Gu Qing Shan suddenly asked: “General Wu, you’re the eldest disciple in Blue Clouds Pass correct?”

“I indeed am” Wu Xing Wen replied.

The eldest disciple of a sect is usually responsible for keeping harmony in the sect, becoming a role model and making sure everyone else is in line.

Gu Qing Shan nodded and said: “Now I know why Lee Chang An became how he was”

“How brave, you really think this General won’t punish you for badmouthing?” Wu Xing Wen pretended to be angry, clenching his fist.

“You can try, let’s see if your Shifu will protect you, or my Shifu will directly take your life” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Wu Xing Wen stayed silent, gritting his teeth.

No one said anything, only silently understood that their grudge is now officially made.

Gu Qing Shan turned around to leave.

Wu Xing Wen looked at Gu Qing Shan’s figure leaving, his eyes were still a bit confused.

He was thinking about the truth of the matter.

Because under normal circumstances, spirit beasts don’t lie.

Having used Bai Hua Fairy’s name, no one would dare mention anything about Soul Reading Gu Qing Shan again.

But that also means that the truth of the matter is undetermined, Gu Qing Shan might really have framed Li Chu Chen.

However, at this point in time, there’s not a single person that would dare to trial Gu Qing Shan further ———even military law doesn’t allow one to keep holding a Saint’s disciple under constant suspicion.

If the truth of the matter isn’t yet determined, and they’ve both already ripped off any sort of respectful fa?ade ——–

“First brother?” one of the other cultivators asked him in a low voice.

“Hm, since both Spirit Beast sect and the spirit beasts has given their confirmation, even if the Saint asks about it later, we’ll just have them take the blame, no need to fear”

Saying so, Wu Xing Wen thought about it a bit more, then silently ordered other disciples of Blue Clouds Pass.

All of them nodded in confirmation.

Afternoon.

Gu Qing Shan’s group visited the female cultivators of Heaven’s Limit sect to check on them.

After leaving their rest area, Gu Qing Shan suddenly noticed other cultivators were giving him a strange look.

“Is that him?”

“It’s him”

“Lowlife”

“Shameless”

“Using official reason to get back for a personal grudge”

Everyone was whispering loudly like they didn’t mind him hearing.

While many Blue Clouds Pass cultivators were walking around the camp, adding extra details to what happened in the trial and spreading it around.

Leng Tian Xing couldn’t stand it and wanted to stop them, but Gu Qing Shan held him back.

“It’s fine, if you show up, the rumors would only get wilder” he said.

“I know those spirit beasts are loyal to their master, but they shouldn’t use such a method to badmouth you” Leng Tian Xing still didn’t know the truth of the matter and sighed.

Gu Qing Shan and Ning Yue Xi exchanged looks, but said nothing.

When night fell, the entire camp had already known about what happened in the morning.

Bai Hua Saint’s disciple, Gu Qing Shan, treated a Spirit Beast sect’s disciple with disdain, then framed and killed him.

All the cultivators in the group were fooled by Gu Qing Shan, only the spirit beasts noticed his behavior.
