Chapter 36 – Blackened Reputation 2

Shen Qingqiu narrowed her eyes and said, "As for what sort of substitute character Cang Qiong Mountain Sect Qing Jing Peak is, since when did the other sects start jumping to conclusions based on mere rumors?"

The old palace master said, "If it were just rumors and rumors, then of course we wouldn't believe it so easily. It's just that these words were spread appropriately from the people from your esteemed sect. "He observed his surroundings and continued," Everyone here knew and would agree that it was common for disciples to have a good relationship with each other. It is also inevitable to spread gossip and slander. It was just that this Peak Lord Shen deliberately suppressed how he beat and injured his students, which made him unworthy of being referred to as a "noble and blameless moral character. ”

After hearing this, Shen Qingqiu was in disbelief.

Hurt students?

That's absolutely true. When Luo Binghe grew up, Shen Qingqiu would harass her in every possible way, using it for child labor and the like. All the days that have passed can be written into a tragedy novel of its own. As for the disciples who were outstanding enough to be chosen, treated harshly, or expelled by Shen Qingqiu. Merely, the perpetrator of this cruel treatment was not him, but his real item!

Yue Qingyuan said solemnly, "Since you know they are just rumors and rumors, then how could you not know there is no benefit in thinking about this matter? Admittedly, my sect younger brother is not used to pampering his disciples, but saying that he harassed them is already over the line. ”

Suddenly, a soft voice spoke. Qin Wanyue could no longer resist the need to speak up for his crush: "If my humble self might be so bold as to ask Sectional Leader Yue … Order a teenage teen to fight against the elders of a demonic sect with hundreds of years of experience and bristling armor.with poisonous spikes — can't this be considered as persecution and abuse? ”

This time, Shen Qingqiu could not continue to stand up like a calm wallflower.

Both spiteful and mild, he said, "Whether it is or not, I don't know. But what I do know is, if a master were to push their disciple out of the way of the poisonous armor surge and block it with his own body, this might not be considered persecution. What do you think, Luo Binghe? ”

Hearing this name, the faces of many cultivators appeared in astonishment, especially from the Cang Qiong Mountain sect. Some originally held some suspicion upon seeing her face, like Qi Qingqi, and were now shocked by the disclosure. As for the group leaders who had just arrived in Jinlan City and knelt down after meeting Luo Binghe.

In the past, since Shen Qingqiu had often punished Luo Binghe, Yue Qingyuan had also seen Luo Binghe a few times, but it happened in Luo Binghe's youth. Then, when Shen Qingqiu started to make good use of Luo Binghe, she was often absent from Qing Jing Peak running various tasks, making it even harder to meet her. During the Immortal Alliance Conference, he caught a glimpse of Luo Binghe's face in the crystal mirror, but only for a moment and through the murky surface of the mirror no less. Thus, all this time he had not realized that this handsome and powerful young man beside Palace Master Huan Hua had, in fact, been Shen Qingqiu's "beloved disciple. Before this, Yue Qingyuan had heard that the Palace Master thought highly of his most senior disciple, so he had mistaken Luo Binghe as Gongyi Xiao all along. Now with Shen Qingqiu revealing this, she was stunned as well.

Among the crowd, Luo Binghe looked at Shen Qingqiu, her gaze fixed. Shen Qingqiu tilted her head, unfurled her folding fan, and suddenly had the urge to return a smile — though, her little lips would probably be seen as a mockery or provocation.

Saying he wasn't angry at all was nonsense. Shen Qingqiu was admittedly often worried about her small life, so she had always thought too much about everything in terms of Luo Binghe. But when he blocked the attack for Luo Binghe, he acted on his own instincts. … Although Luo Binghe might not need the help of others to resolve the crisis. No matter how you look at it, in the three rounds of battle, the one who suffered the most damage was him. Further using even this matter to slander him (moistening himself with dirty water) infuriated Shen Qingqiu.

Luo Binghe said slowly, “Shizun risked his life to protect me; this grace I will never forget. ”

Qi Qingqi hesitantly said, “This is really you? Shen Qingqiu, didn't you say he died? ”He looked at Luo Binghe again. "Since you are still alive, why don't you return to Qing Jing Peak? Don't you know, for your sake, Shizun you're distracted … "

Shen Qingqiu burst out with a dry cough, disturbing enough that Qi Qingqi had no choice but to stop and glare at him.

Shen Qingqiu wanted to bow to him. He had a premonition that his next words would be "disturbed like he lost his soul. "He never wanted to hear those damn words again! Suddenly a chill appeared on his skin. If Luo Binghe heard this, she would laugh so loudly that her male protagonist's face would break!

The old palace chief insisted on it. “That's the point that confuses people the most. He was obviously not dead, so why insist he was dead? And why was he clearly able to return, but unwilling? "

Shen Qingqiu was really annoyed with her insinuating tone. “If he doesn't want to come back, then I can't do anything. He came in peace, he left freely, but it pleased him. If the old palace master wants to say something, please say it honestly. ”

The old palace master laughed. "What I want to say, Peak Lord Shen, you are already very aware. People here with clear minds will also understand. This sower devil should be burned, but if there is someone operating behind the scenes — someone who adds fuel to the fire — they should not be spared. No matter what, all of Jinlan City owed an explanation. ”

With just that, he managed to spark hostility from the survivors of Jinlan City at the scene. They had just suffered through a major disaster; with their mood already pouting and frightened, they were itching for the target to let out their anger. Some people responded by shouting and mocking.

Luo Binghe said, “Shizun hates evil. When it came to demons, he could not help but kill them at sight and rejoice afterwards. How could he collude with them? "

These words seemed to free Shen Qingqiu from wrongdoing, except, from those present, only she could understand the hidden meaning behind the words "could not help but kill them at sight and rejoice afterwards. ”

Now that the cat had come out of the bag, Shen Qingqiu probably came out with it and asked: "Luo Binghe, now are you a disciple of Qing Jing Peak or a member of Huan Hua Palace?"

The old palace chief sneered. "After all this, Peak Lord Shen, you are willing to recognize this disciple of yours again?"

Shen Qingqiu said, “I have never expelled him from the sect. If he still calls me Shizun, I consider him willing to be recognized as my disciple. ”

His words were spoken purely to disturb Luo Binghe's soul; however, it seemed like he had not succeeded. Luo Binghe's eyes blinked. Shen Qingqiu did not know if it was her imagination, but the expression in Luo Binghe's eyes seemed clear.

In an instant, the two opposing factions were clearly — standing opposite each other, separated clearly. It was as if sparks collided, emitting a hostile aura of — unsheathed swords, bends bent. As for the sowing demon that had triggered this conflict, it was forgotten to one side. No one cares to deal with him.

Suddenly, the voice of the coquettish woman asked, "Shen Jiu? … Are you Shen Jiu? "

As soon as he heard this name, Shen Qingqiu's unperturbed face almost broke into the valley of the Great African rift.

Fuck all that!

Is it heaven's intention to kill me today ?!

It's over . This this is this woman. This is Qiu Haitang!

In the original work, Qiu Haitang's performance signifies only one thing: Shen Qingqiu's total fall from grace.

Although Qiu Haitang was no longer a young girl in the spring of her life, her face was as fair as magnolia, painted beautifully with makeup. Her body is slim, her chest is quite — her appearance is really amazing. And because of her outstanding appearance, she naturally could not escape the fate of being part of Luo Binghe's harem.

The problem was, he had once had a relationship with Shen Qingqiu.

Congrats! To engage in an unclear relationship with the two wives of the stallion protagonist, the real Shen Qingqiu was truly the only one!

At least of all the horse novels Shen Yuan read, he was unable to find such a second character!

But come to think of it, this revelation must have triggered a second wave of reader comments saying, “Cut 'family jewelry' Shen Qingqiu! If not, I will stop reading! "

Shen Qingqiu's heart broke into an endless barrage of "******..." in response to this dangerous situation. Qiu Haitang unsheathed his sword and flattened it horizontally in front of his chest with an attitude: if things got worse, he would kill him himself. “I asked you! Why don't you dare look at me? ”

Old sister, how dare I look at you? You came after my life!

Qiu Haitang's expression was filled with sadness. “I said it's no surprise — no wonder I searched for so many years and never saw you again. It turns out that — turns out that you have long reached a higher place in life and become this great Qing Jing Peak Master. Ha ha, how impressive! ”

Shen Qingqiu really did not know where to look or say what. Consequently, he continued to look forward and did his best to change his expression into a separate apathy.

The crowd whispered to each other. Yue Qingyuan whispered, "Qingqiu, this young lady and you .. are really old acquaintances?"

Shen Qingqiu's tears were watering her heart field. Shixiong .. don't ask …

On that side, Qiu Haitang spoke again in a depressed tone: "old acquaintance? We're not just acquaintances, me and this pretentious man is a childhood sweetheart ..I'm his fiancee! "

Hearing this, Luo Binghe's brows twitched wildly.

Nah!

You are obviously Luo Binghe's wife! Getup!

Shang Qinghua exclaimed, “Hah? Is this true? Why have I never heard Shen Shixiong mention this before? "

Shen Qingqiu pulled at the corner of her lips and gave her a fake smile: Can you not add fuel to the fire?

This melodramatic and hateful part paints him as a savage villain .. Who made him again? And someone even dared to stand there enjoying the show!

And these observers, aren't they cultivators? Why they all like to watch gossip— Everyone go, go, get out, get out!

Qiu Haitang smiled bitterly. "This person was a ferocious beast in human form, which looked delicate. Of course, he did not dare to mention the things that would make him guilty. ”

Great Master Wu Chen had interacted with the three people from the Cang Qiong sect for a period of time and received Shen Qingqiu's treatment, so he had good feelings towards the latter. During the dispute of the Cang Qiong Mountain sect with Huan Hua Palace, he had no chance to interrupt. This time, he opened his mouth and said, “A-mi-to-fo (Pityful Buddha), whatever the words spoken by this female heir, are, he has to say it well and clearly. Blind complaints do not inspire trust. ”

Shen Qingqiu's heart flowed with tears. Great Lord .. I know you are doing this for my own good, but I will really suffer if he speaks his words clearly. This is really the saying "not afraid to do shameful deeds, just afraid that ghosts (consequences) will knock"!

At this moment, Qiu Haitang became the focus of everyone's attention. He was so excited that his face turned red. He puffed his chest and shouted, "If there were half a phrase of lies in the following words I, Qiu Haitang, would say … then let me be pierced by ten thousand demonic poisonous arrows and die horribly. ! ”He pointed straight at Shen Qingqiu, flames of rage raging in his eyes. "This person right now is Cang Qiong Mountain Peak Lord Shen Qingqiu, the famous and famous sword of Xiu Ya. But no one knows what he used to be like! "

His words were a bit offensive; qi Qingqi's elegant brows furrowed. "Supervise your words!"

Qiu Haitang was now the hall master of some other small sect. Reprimanded by one of the great and influential leaders of the Cang Qiong Mountain Sect, he subconsciously took a step back. But the old palace master said, "Peak Lady Qi, there's no need to be angry. Why not let this young lady finish speaking? You can't shut someone's mouth. ”

Qiu Haitang looked at him and gritted his teeth. The hatred in his eyes hid that fear. Her voice rose again: “When she was twelve, she was nothing more than a slave that my family bought from a foreign human trafficker. Since he is the ninth (Jiu), he is called little Jiu. My parents, seeing him persecuted by slave traders, really pity him. They took him home, taught him to recognize words and learn, gave him the means for food and clothing until he was full and warm without worries. My brothers looked after her like part of the family. When she was fifteen, my parents died and my older brother became the head of the household. He removed the slave title from her and considered her an adopted brother. For me, as I grew up with him, I was tricked by him .. go as far as thinking .. we complement each other (we are sunshine to each other). ”

Tears appeared in his eyes. “When my older brother was nineteen years old, a wandering cultivator came to the city and settled there because of his nurturing spiritual energy. At the city gate, he set up a stage where girls and boys under the age of eighteen could come and test their spiritual abilities. He wanted to choose an extraordinary talent to become his disciple. The cultivator had a body filled with immortal techniques — not a single townspeople did not exclaim with admiration and praise. Shen Jiu also went to the spirit testing platform. His talent was good so he was chosen by that cultivator. Overjoyed, she ran home, wanting to leave my household. ”

“My male sister certainly does not agree. In his eyes, cultivating immortality was an uncertain affair. Besides, she is already engaged to me, how could she suddenly leave her house and leave? He had a big fight with my brother. At that moment he was gloomy and cheerful. We thought it was just a mood while our — was waiting for him to understand and naturally accept things. ”

His expression suddenly changed. “Who will know, that very night, his true nature will be revealed? He went on a rampage, killing my brother and many other housemaids — bodies strewn across our yard. Under the cover of the night, he left the city with that cultivator!

“With such a big change in my family, I am just a weak little girl who is powerless to support the household. Such a large family and all its properties — destroyed. I searched this man (my grudge object) with great difficulty for years, always without finding any trace of him. The cultivator who had brought him under his wing back then had long since died of violence. From then on, his trail was even more broken...If not for today's chance of coming to Jinlan City, I was afraid that my whole life I wouldn't have been able to know that this villain, this criminal, would have been, the one biting the hand that fed him and stabbing the backs of his benefactors .. somehow climbed up in the world this entire time, and even rose to the position of Peak Lord of the biggest sect under the heavens! Although she is very different from the past .. but this face, this face is — even if it turns to ash, I will never misinterpret it! I am not afraid to mention the cultivator who instigated him to commit violent crimes as well. He was listed on the wanted list for so many years, the person whose hands took countless lives — Wu Yanzi! ”

This Wu Yanzi could be said to be famous, with countless criminal records. Suddenly exploding that one of the twelve Peak Leaders was one of his disciples, the crowd could not help but fear. Yet amongst the vast expanse of breath, Shen Qingqiu instead calmed down.

His heart was actually a bit doubtful. At first glance, the experience Qiu Haitang imparted was full of ups and downs. But it's not without the hole. It was not that Shen Qingqiu discriminated against the original items, but the original work had devoted a lot of energy to Shen Qingqiu's ominous personality: her disgusting nature and rigidity, narrow-mindedness and pettiness, he said, incivility and lack of communication, incivility and lack of communication, inability to know how to win help, indifference, and arrogance. This kind of personality made it hard to believe that the young Shen Qingqiu would be so loved that people who had no blood relation would see her as a relative.

But when others interpreted these words, they were unable to capture this detail.

Originally, Shen Qingqiu was most afraid of this part of the plot, but she was not too afraid. Old events like these from past years have no definitive proof. If the accusation only depended on Qiu Haitang, he could convince Qiu Haitang that he recognized the wrong person as long as he took a quick bite and refused to confess. So in the end, it would only be a questionable, faint stain on the character history of Shen Qingqiu.

There's no choice. Shen Qingqiu really felt sorry for Qiu Haitang, but it was the real Shen Qingqiu! He really did not want to bring this black pot (bringing this mistake)! He preferred to reconcile with Qiu Haitang using other means. He did not kill Liu Qingge, did not persecute Ning Yingying. Whatever happens, this should not make its "sturdy reputation as a thousand-foot-tall building" collapse in one night, wreaking havoc until everyone shouts to hit it.

But now it's completely different.

The situation was bad as all these questionable and insignificant stains had gathered together. First, the control of the sower. Then, the Old Palace master followed from behind. Now, Qiu Haitang's accusations could actually be evidence for his inappropriate character. A savage man persecutes a woman and then banishes her, a traitor who colludes with the Devils, a wanted criminal disciple … it was like adding an extra flower to a perfectly configured brocade.

It was a beautiful coincidence, each agreeing with the other. As a result, people no longer regarded them as mere coincidences.

The Old Palace Master said, “Secte Master Yue, when taking care of this affair, was swayed by an unacceptable personal conviction. Otherwise, if word got out that this majestic Cang Qiong Mountain sect covered someone whose record was filled with famous stains? "

Yue Qingyuan's tone of voice was indifferent. "So Lord Palace means …?"

“In my opinion, it is best to move Shen Qingqiu to Huan Hua Palace for now. Wait until we confirm the truth before we make a decision — how?

Everyone knows the true meaning of “move. ”

Under one of the temporary residences of Huan Hua Palace lies an underground water prison. With the intricate terrain, coupled with the Huan Hua Palace Labyrinth Formation, this "pushing to the bottom of the trunk" method was not on the same level as the protective array that was only used to stop non-farmers. The inside of the water prison is heavily guarded, the equipment of the torture chamber is comprehensive, special without comparison. All those imprisoned within were the most ruthless and despicable cultivators in the cultivation world, their hands had been stained with blood or had broken the prohibition.

In short, the water prison of Huan Hua Palace was the general prison of the cultivation world.

Apart from this, if somewhere was needed to temporarily guard the cultivators who were suspected of endangering the human world while they were investigated, those cultivators would also be sent to this place. After the four sects held a joint trial, the punishment would then be handed down.

Liu Qingge sneered. "Quite said?"

After he had controlled his emotions to listen to this nonsense for so long, his heart had long harbored flames. He turned his hand and grabbed Cheng Luan's sword behind his back, ready to fight. Opposite him, the disciples of Huan Hua Palace each unsheathed their swords and pointed them forward, staring at the meeting.

Yue Qingyuan said, “Youth junior apprentice Liu, retreat. ”

Although Liu Qingge was unhappy or unwilling, if she had to listen to one person, she could only accept Yue Qingyuan's words and reluctantly let go of the sword grip.

Seeing him retreat, Yue Qingyue nodded. “This kind of accusation cannot be supported by mere words. ”

The long sword at his waist, the handle as white as ink, suddenly emerged from its sheath to show an inch of the dazzling white blade.

In an instant, it was as if a formless giant net was thrown over the entire ground. Inside the net, spiritual energy was undulating like waves, rolling and rushing without pause.

That sword cry seemed to be buzzing in the ears without pause. A few relatively younger disciples accidentally covered their ears, their hearts pounding nonstop.

The Sword of Xuan Su!

People from the various sects were on the grounds of being fascinated because of this.

Yue Qingyuan told Liu Qingge to retreat because she was about to enter the conflict by herself ?! Has the world been turned upside down ?!

It was said that ever since Yue Qingyuan took the position of supreme peak ruler of Cang Qiong Mountain, she had only drawn her sword twice. One time was the ceremony of receiving his post, the other was in a battle with a Heavenly Core bloodline descendant (father Luo Binghe).

Although Xuan Su's sword only appeared an inch from its sheath, everyone suddenly understood.

To be able to sit at the highest place of the Qiong Ding hall definitely required more than just a light and unchanging temperament!

The Old Palace Master said, "Public formation!"

Is this a rhythm of war? The demon clan had not even fought here when humans started fighting first. Shen Qingqiu saw this situation wrong. He rushed to grab his sword and threw it forward. Xiu Ya's sword flew straight and stuck it on the ground in front of Palace Master Huan Hua.

Throwing away the sword was the same as giving up, which showed that he was obeying his punishment. The Old Palace Master immediately took the sword. He waved his hand to make his sect people return to their places.

Yue Qingyuan said softly, "Shidi!"

Shen Qingqiu said, "Shixiong, you don't need to say more, the truth will speak for itself. Qingqiu was willing to be detained. ”

This Old Palace Master is like an old man and confused — bites fast and does not let go. Combining troops with additional sowers and Qiu Haitang, being imprisoned was inevitable (the last nail to the coffin). After all, the original work also has this going on. He thought he managed to avoid it, but did not anticipate he would still end up going the fixed route of the original plot. There was no need to hurt Cang Qiong Mountain and Huan Hua Palace to make the two sects fall (tear their faces). Shen Qingqiu insisted, "Conversing again is useless. I offered myself freely. ”

After saying this, he did not see Yue Qingyuan's expression but glanced at Luo Binghe quickly.

Neither happiness nor anger could be seen on his face. He stood steadily on his original spot, contrasting with the surrounding cultivators whose ears were covered while their heads were spinning.

After a long pause, Yue Qingyuan finally sheathed back her sword. It was as if an invisible net had been removed from the air.

Shen Qingqiu turned towards Yue Qingyuan and bowed deeply. With everything said and done, he had given Shixiong a lot of trouble; it was truly embarrassing.

Qiu Haitang was still sobbing. When Qin Wangyue walked past him, he comforted him: "Young Miss Qiu, whatever the situation changes, the three sects will give you a proper reply. "He said the three sects, sharply left Cang Qiong Mountain to clarify its position. Qiu Haitang's expression was moved, his eyes were filled with tears, and raised his head to thank him. Upon seeing Luo Binghe standing to one side, both of her cheeks could not help but blush.

Shen Qingqiu rolled her eyes internally. On that topic, he had just NTR right in front of his face, so why did he not feel unhappy at all!

Gongyi Xiao led some disciples of Huan Hua Palace to walk, and the thing he was holding was very familiar.

Eternal Binding Cable Hello; goodbye Immortal-Binding Cable [wave bye-bye].

Gongyi Xiao's tone apologized. "Older Shen, please excuse me. This junior should treat you with respect. Before the truth is revealed, I will definitely not let the Elder suffer in the slightest. ”

Shen Qingqiu nodded, saying four words, "Thank you for your trouble. ”

What good would it do if you treated me with respect? Looking at the expressions of all the Huan Hua Palace disciples present, he could tell that each of them wanted to eat them raw. After all, back then during the Immortal Alliance Conference, the worst casualties were suffered by Huan Hua Palace; they had suffered a great offense.

After the Immortal-Binding Cable all around him and was securely fastened, Shen Qingqiu felt her body sink. Previously, whenever the poison Without Cure lit up intermittently, he would only feel a blockage of spiritual energy, like a remote control with a bad connection that barely worked when it hit him. As soon as the Immortal-Binding Cable was on his body, it completely cut through his spiritual energy, instantly reducing it to an ordinary physical body.

The Old Palace Master said, "What does everyone think about setting the date of the public trial to one month because of it?"

Liu Qingge said, "Five days. ”

The longer imprisoned in the water prison, the more suffering it will be. Liu Qingge said the "five days" were to compress the course of the preparation of the general trial to a short time. Of course, the old palace master would not agree. “With this speed, I fear many will be ignored. ”

Mediation was a specialty of Zhao Hua Temple. An abbot suggested, "Why not make it ten days?"

Yue Qingyuan said, "Seven days. No further delay. ”

Bargaining a group of sect leaders could be mistaken for a vegetable market. Shen Qingqiu had her own considerations and hurriedly said, "There's no need to talk more. Listen to the palace arrangements. One month . ”

Further delay will actually be beneficial for the growth of Dew Grass. From the corner of his eyes, he looked at Shang Qinghua and raised his eyebrows. Shang Qinghua understood silently, her two hands hanging in front of her body, silently gesturing "don't worry, let me handle it".

The only problem was .. could he survive in the Huan Hua Palace that was completely controlled by Luo Binghe?
