Chapter 12: The Victim and the Scapegoat

  Please support those who have tickets, thank you.

  Not to mention anything else, just insulting Master Meng is a serious offense. If it's reported, that's a major crime. Not to mention wanting to draw his sword and kill his own fellow disciple, and actually taking action...

  Chu Yang's heart still had lingering fear as he wiped away a cold sweat: "Luckily he fell down by himself... otherwise... Wu Shuang, otherwise I would have..."

  He stopped talking here and looked at Wu Qianqian pitifully. However, "he himself fell..." This sentence, he also had the nerve to say...

  "Otherwise you'll be killed by him." The poor little girl easily fell into the trap and followed up with a sentence to complete what Chu Yang had left unsaid.

  "Right!" Chu Yang clapped his hands loudly, making a "slapping" sound, and said with great relief: "After all, Wu Shifu is far-sighted, discerning right from wrong, fair and just, with eyes like torches..."

  Wu Qianqian vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she also thought that the other person's words were not wrong, and she nodded dazedly, plus a string of compliments, after all, it was a girl's heart, and she actually felt a little fluttered...

  Just then, Li Jianyun finally lifted his head from the deep pit, he was injured but not unconscious; his ears heard clearly, and he heard that Chu Yang's three words and two sentences had become a victim, almost getting angry and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

  But there was still a big lump of mud stuck in his throat, and he couldn't even spit out blood. Enduring the intense pain, he used his fingers to dig out the mud from his mouth, but as for the one in his throat, he really couldn't cough it up, and he was also suffocating badly, so he gritted his teeth and stretched his neck violently, forcing himself to swallow it down...

  This was an unavoidable matter; if they didn't get rid of that lump of earth, Li Jianyun would be suffocated to death.

  Chu Yang and Wu Qianqian stared at Li Jianyun's neck, which was getting longer and longer. In the middle of his neck, a large bulge appeared, like a small snake swallowing an entire egg, slowly moving down along his neck, finally disappearing with a gulp, and his neck returned to its original state...

  The two of them stared with wide eyes and swallowed a mouthful of saliva...

  This... this is really terrifying...

  "Pffft——" Li Jianyun finally spat out a mouthful of blood, panting heavily like a bellows, the suffocating pain momentarily making him forget about his severed leg... well, it could be considered a blessing in disguise...

  However, this didn't last long. Immediately, severe pain in the legs and face... a large amount of sand, stones, and mud was swallowed into the stomach, causing intense burning pain in the intestines...

  At this moment, Li Jianyun wished he could just die...

  I have truly experienced what it means to be 'tormented to the point of wishing for death'.

  Wanting to scold someone, but still can't catch his breath for a while.

  After a while, Li Jianyun finally lifted his head, staring at Chu Yang with a ferocious gaze: "Chu Yang! You wait for me, I won't let you off! In this life and in this world, I will not rest until one of us dies! Ahh..." As he spoke, his whole body trembled, originally wanting to show off his toughness in front of the person he had a crush on, but couldn't help it...

  Chu Yang trembled: "Wu Shijie, look at you...look..."

  Wu Qianqian comforted, "Chu Shidi, don't worry, I witnessed the whole thing, how could I let someone trouble you? Li Shidi was just speaking in anger, you don't need to mind..."

  Li Jianyun let out two strange noises from his throat, "Hng hng", and rolled his eyes in disbelief as he stared at Wu Qianqian. He finally collapsed: You witnessed the whole thing? What did you witness?! I almost got played to death ahhhhh......

  Just then, Wu Qianqian finally discovered something was off and let out a cry of surprise: "Li Shidi... your leg?!" Then she was shocked again: "Your nose..."

  Li Jianyun burst into tears, banging his head on the ground with a loud thud. Mother! You've finally discovered me, poor me, I'm seriously injured and might be disabled... Overcome with emotion, he actually started wailing...

  The rising star of the Tianwai Building, the son of the second-ranked figure, actually wailed in public... This incident made Wu Qianqian's brain short-circuit for a moment, and she blinked her beautiful eyes, really not understanding what was going on: Is it really that painful? To the point of being like this? We are Jianghu people who shed blood but not tears...

  She didn't know that Li Jianyun was actually feeling depressed and wronged, and on top of that, he was in unbearable pain... The biggest source of his depression came from Wu Qianqian.

  Just then, a rustling sound came from the purple bamboo forest, and two people rushed over quickly: "Who is making noise here? Hmm? Chu Yang? What happened?"

  However, Shi Qianshan and Tan Tang have arrived.

  When the two saw the chaotic scene in front of the door, they were both stunned.

  "Master, you must take charge for me!" Chu Yang cried out in grief and indignation. Why not use the ready-made shield? This is the best opportunity to divert the disaster. The dog-biting-dog show that everyone loves to watch: "Just now I almost got killed... right at our doorstep, this guy came and scolded Master, then scolded us as useless..."

  Shi Qianshan's face suddenly fell.

  Shi Qianshan, although calm and collected, couldn't help but get involved in this matter. If someone insulted his master and he didn't react, how could he still be considered a part of the sect? Moreover, Shi Qianshan had always been confident in himself, believing that no one among his peers could match him in terms of strategy, skill, and effort. He had always taken the title of "Great Master" as his goal to strive for, so now being called a "waste" by someone was unbearable.

  What can be tolerated and what cannot be tolerated!

  "Really?!" Shi Qianshan's face was gloomy, his eyes narrowed, and he sternly spat out two words. It had a strong sense of unyielding dignity.

  Wu Qianqian quickly stood up and saluted, saying: "Shi Shixiong, this matter is our fault. Li Shidi is still young and speaks without restraint, I hope Shi Shixiong will calm down and not damage the harmony among us fellow disciples."

  Wu Qianqian's words were extremely humble and subtle, but by saying them, she had already made up her mind to resolve the matter. However, at the same time, her words also served as solid evidence of Li Jianyun's guilt!

  Shi Qianshan's eyes lit up, and a beautiful face appeared before him. He couldn't help but take a greedy glance, then composed himself and said: "So it was Wu Shizhi after all. Since you put it that way, I won't pursue the matter..."

  After all, he couldn't help but feel puzzled.

  As soon as Wu Qianqian stood up, Li Jianyun, who had been covering her face, was exposed. Seeing Li Jianyun's nose and tears, his face covered in blood and looking like he was on the verge of death, Shi Qianshan was shocked.

  Who is this guy? He's still... crying?! I'm speechless, he doesn't even care about losing face...

  My god... who's been bullied?

  Take another look at Chu Yang, apart from the fact that he is covered in dust and looks rather disheveled, there's nothing out of the ordinary... actually, the dust on Chu Yang's body was also due to his own digging for the Golden Blood Xuan Jade.

  Was this person beaten by Chu Yang? Shi Qianshan didn't recognize the bloodied man in front of him, who looked like a skinned pig's head, as Li Jianyun for a moment, and was only astonished. But his sentence "I won't pursue it" caused trouble.

  "Shi Qianshan! You actually dare to pursue this?! Pursue your grandfather, I say!" Li Jianyun coughed up a curse, his anger almost making him spit blood: "You damn... Shi Qianshan, Sixth Uncle! This lifetime, I will never let you few pieces of trash off the hook! I must make you live worse than death!"

  Having suffered such a great humiliation, and possibly never fully recovering from the severe injury for his entire life, Li Jianyun's hatred had already begun to sprout. It was not just Chu Yang, but anyone in Zi Zhu Garden, who were all arch-enemies of life and death to him!

  Even Meng Haoran!

  If he hadn't taught such disciples, how would I have ended up like this?

  "Are you letting me off?!?" Shi Qianshan's face suddenly turned gloomy, coldly saying: "You think you have the qualifications? Whenever you come, I, Shi Qianshan, will be waiting for you! Hmph, if you dare to come once, I, Shi Qianshan, will dare to hit you once! If you provoke me, humph, I, Shi Qianshan, am not afraid to kill people!"

  In the end, it seems that I felt like I was speaking with great momentum and humor, and chuckled twice.

  Shi Qianshan is not a fool, and he naturally has his reasons for saying this.

  Chu Yang's cultivation was nearly at the bottom among his peers in Tian Wai Lou. And yet, this guy in front of him had been beaten to such a state by Chu Yang!

  How useless can this guy be?

  Such a person, let alone one, even if a hundred come, he is still fearless!

  Besides, I can show off my heroic image in front of Wu Zetian, why not?

  Chu Yang, oh Chu Yang, you've given me a great opportunity this time.

  It's possible that this matter will blow up, and the elders of the sect will take notice of me. At that time, as long as I can see them in person, I'll be able to thoroughly utilize the opportunity of meeting them, and make a great leap forward!

  This afternoon, I encountered something that left me speechless. A reader brother kept sending messages and making video calls... This guy actually came to pursue me, and what's even more ridiculous is that he's a man! He solemnly swore that he would make a good husband, saying that it's really hard for a woman like me to stay up late writing, and that I need someone to take care of me... I fainted on the spot... Really can't stand it, so I put on a camera and opened it, and on the other end was a face full of youthful beauty and acne, which suddenly let out a surprised cry: Ah! You're also a man? You're not Wind Beauty Brow? I banged my head against the wall... It's tragic to the extreme...
