My Two-sided Cultivation: Starting From Collecting Experiences

236 Qin Huai’s Calmness

When the group of senior and junior brothers who had arrived heard the commotion, they saw Zhang Haoyue shattering his wine jar in shock.

They could no longer suppress their curiosity. They climbed up the stairs and looked at the scene on the top floor.

And then…

Everyone stared in shock at the messy battlefield on the top floor. Li Buchang, who was lying on the floor, was vomiting black blood, while Qin Huai was standing not far away.

!!

At this moment, it was as if the air had stopped.

“Big Brother!” someone wailed and rushed up the stairs.

He hugged Li Buchang, who was already dead on the ground, and cried his heart out.

“Qin Huai! How dare you!”

Many disciples of the Zhang family roared, but some of the disciples of the Li family were even more furious. Killing a fellow disciple, he deserved to die. The heavens would not tolerate the remains of their relatives.

“Qin Huai, you killed your fellow sect member. Are you trying to rebel?!”

Furious roars echoed in Qin Huai’s ears.

Qin Huai, on the other hand, only stared fixedly at Zhang Haoyue. Under his calm face, there was already a monstrous rage burning.

“Everyone, quiet down! Silence!” Zhang Haoyue roared, even using his vigorous blood essence. Only then did the indignant crowd temporarily suppress their emotions.

“There’s no conclusion to this matter yet. We can’t be sure that Brother Qin killed Buchang yet!”

But these words did not ease the mood of the people present. On the contrary, it made everyone even more irritable.

“There’s irrefutable evidence. What dogshit conclusion do you need?!”

“There’s only Qin Huai and Senior Brother Buchang on the top floor just now… We also heard sounds of arguing and Senior Brother Buchang’s roar.”

“Yes, it was Qin Huai who poisoned him!”

One by one, the young men waved their fists at Qin Huai, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws as if they wanted to swallow Qin Huai alive.

“Quiet down,” Zhang Haoyue spoke again. “Seeing may not be believing. It’s not too late to vent your anger after the results of the sect’s investigation are out. At that time, if Brother Qin really did it, I, Zhang Haoyue, will definitely kill him with my own hands!”

Zhang Haoyue’s voice was firm as he stared at Qin Huai coldly. Then, he slowly walked up to Qin Huai. With a solemn expression, he said, “Brother Qin, tell me you didn’t do this.”

Qin Huai looked at Zhang Haoyue, who was speaking sincerely with disbelief written all over his face. His voice was unusually calm as he said, “Good plan. Good acting skills.”

Zhang Haoyue’s back was facing the crowd as he looked at Qin Huai, who was just inches away from him. A proud, cold, and mocking expression slowly appeared on his face. “So what? Can you kill me? Even if you can kill me, you’re in a situation where everyone hates you. When the time comes, we will face it. The Nine Dragons sect and even the entire True Path sect will hunt you down endlessly!”

Qin Huai’s eyes remained calm. “Are you so sure that you’ll win?”

“I’ve never lost.” Zhang Haoyue’s face was full of confidence. “In the past, and in the future.”

Thump thump thump…

Another group of people squeezed through the crowd and rushed to the top floor.

It was a group of young people from the second and fourth families, and the one leading them was Li Buhu. They rushed to Qin Huai’s side and even pushed Zhang Haoyue out before surrounding Qin Huai.

“It’s impossible for Son-in-law to be a murderer!”

“That’s right. It must be someone from the Zhang family who framed him.”

Li Buhu roared, “Think about it, if you wanted to kill someone from your own family, would you choose to do it in public?”

Li Buhu’s words made everyone present waver. It seemed like… There was some truth to it.

“As for the truth, we will know after the sect has investigated.”

There was another sound from the stairs. Several elders of the Nine Dragons sect arrived in time, but they seemed to be elders of the Zhang family.

“Now, Disciple Qin Huai, follow us to the confinement chamber and wait there!” the leading elder of the Zhang family said sternly.

“I won’t escape. I will stay in the Li family courtyard and wait for the truth to come out,” Qin Huai said slowly.

“I’m afraid that’s not up to you!” The leading elder of the Zhang family sneered and sent a palm strike toward Qin Huai.

A white dragon rose from his body, and the mighty force caused many disciples around him to fall to the ground in an instant, their faces as pale as paper.

“I don’t think so.” Qin Huai’s anger sank into his dantian as he threw a punch forward.

The white mist on his body turned into the shape of a real dragon and swung out with his fist.

Bang!

The entire Green Feather Tower shook violently under the two men’s fists. Cracks started from the feet of the two men and spread rapidly in the shape of spider patterns.

“He’s in the bone pattern realm!” The pupils of the Zhang family elder constricted.

“Son-in-law has broken through to the Bone Pattern Realm!”

“As expected of Son-in-law…”

The disciples of the second and fourth branches were also shocked, and their faces revealed excited expressions. They didn’t believe that Qin Huai was the kind of person who would do such a thing.

Now that Qin Huai had revealed the strength of the bone pattern realm, their confidence had inexplicably increased by a lot.

On the other hand, Zhang Haoyue’s eyes were filled with joy. Qin Huai had actually broken through to the next realm, and that had saved him a lot of expenses.

Now… everything was ready.

“Elder Chengshi, you are indeed rude,” Zhang Haoyue slowly said. “Brother Qin is only a suspect now, and he hasn’t committed any actual crimes. Why would he need to go to a confinement chamber? Isn’t it a reasonable request to stay at home and wait for the truth to come out? ”

Zhang Chengshi glanced at Zhang Haoyue and cupped his hands. “Young Master is right.”

Zhang Haoyue’s order seemed to be above the heavens. Zhang Chengshi and the other elders of the Zhang family retreated obediently.

He looked at Qin Huai with a smile. “Brother Qin, I believe that the Nine Dragons sect will definitely seek justice for you! ”

“Thank you, Senior Brother Haoyue.” Qin Huai’s expression remained calm. He even cupped his hands and bowed to Zhang Haoyue.

...

“However, Brother Qin, I’m afraid that you will have to stay in another part of the Li family’s courtyard for the next few days. Your courtyard will be sealed.”

“We’ll follow Senior Brother Haoyue’s arrangements!”

Zhang Haoyue looked at Qin Huai and frowned slightly. “Carry the corpse away and withdraw! ”

Crash…

After a short while, Zhang Haoyue disappeared from the Green Feather Tower with the crowd and the commotion.

“Brother-in-law, how do we prove our innocence now?” Li Buhu followed behind Qin Huai with a gloomy expression.

“Don’t worry, it’s simple.”

Qin Huai felt no pressure at all. He had studied the poison path for many years, so he knew the essence of this path.

He could even tell at a glance what kind of poison Li Buchang had been poisoned with.

“It was a poison that can work on a ninth refinement martial artist. Those so-called poison masters in the city can’t do it at all… Therefore, if you want to poison someone, you have to buy it from outside Lingjiang, or ask for the prescription and buy the medicinal materials for making the poison yourself.

“But these herbs and poisons are not available on the market. If you want to buy it, you can only go through the special channels in the city… And there is only one place in Lingjiang City that has the ability to get these.”

...

“Fengxing Auction House?” Li Buhu blurted out, “But the Fengxing Auction House will not tell us who bought it. They won’t reveal the identity of their customers at all.”

Qin Huai was indifferent, though. He already knew.
