This silly girl... is still trying to defend Li Jingxiao?

Lin Feng waved his hand.

“I’m not here to talk about this. Li Jingxiao did offend me, but it’s not enough for you to come and apologize on his behalf. I’m here to talk about something else.”

"Yes, please speak. I am all ears."

"Let's find a quiet place."

Shangguan Tingye's mind was in turmoil.

Why do we have to find a secluded place to talk about this?

She became secretly on guard.

They arrived at a secluded courtyard and sat facing each other. Lin Feng took out several bamboo slips and threw them in front of her.

"Take a look."

"this……"

Shangguan Tingye was puzzled, so he picked up the bamboo slips and began to read them.

She was so frightened by what she saw that she almost threw the bamboo slips away!

Lin Feng took a sip of tea and said slowly, "If my investigation is correct, Li Jingxiao resents Xuan Yanhuang because of the massacre of the village more than ten years ago. He believes that Xuan Yanhuang killed innocent people indiscriminately, but that is not the case. After extensive investigation, I found that the village was indeed the lair of the Demonic Sect, and Li Jingxiao's parents were minor leaders of the Demonic Sect."

"Given the attitude of the Xuan Yan Star Realm towards demonic cultivators, Emperor Xuan Yan's actions were not wrong."

"This...is actually true!"

Shangguan Tingye still found it hard to believe.

"If you don't believe me, go and investigate for yourself. It's not a secret that's hard to investigate, but just knowing the truth isn't enough."

Lin Feng dropped a bombshell.

"Li Jingxiao's parents were once close friends with Tian Yusheng, the sect leader of Tian Shu Sect. Before they were killed by Xuan Yan Emperor, they used Li Jingxiao to secretly conduct research on the Qingxuan Sacred Body. Of course, Tian Yusheng was also involved, but he was lucky and managed to escape unscathed in the end."

"If I'm not mistaken, it wasn't a coincidence that Tian Yusheng took Li Jingxiao into his fold. It was something he did on purpose. His purpose was... quite simple: to continue the research on the Holy Body."

Shangguan was speechless, unsure of what to say for a moment.

After a long pause, she said solemnly, "Thank you for informing me, Young Master Lin. I misunderstood you earlier, and I hope you won't take offense!"

“It’s a small matter. Li Jingxiao has a lot of prejudice against me, so I’ve thought about it and it would be better if you were in charge of telling him about this. As for Tianyusheng, Xuan Yanhuang will take care of it once we have collected solid evidence.”

Lin Feng also curryed favor with Emperor Xuan Yan this time. He was eager to get rid of the Tian Shu Sect. After all, in the entire Xuan Yan Star Boundary, the Tian Shu Sect was the biggest enemy of the Xuan Yan Dynasty. Without them, it was only a matter of time before the Xuan Yan Dynasty controlled the Star Boundary.

Lin Feng looked concerned and spoke sincerely. On the surface, it seemed that he was telling Shangguan Tingye these secrets because he was really worried about Li Jingxiao.

"Don't you mind the offense Xiao Ge caused you before?"

Shangguan Tingye asked cautiously.

"Compared to the demonic cultivators, these are all minor matters. Perhaps we were both a bit irrational at the time, and I said some unpleasant things because of it. But all of that is in the past, and there is no need to discuss it. As I just said, I have never blamed you."

Lin Feng's appearance was already very deceptive, and now with a warm smile on his face, Shangguan Tingye, while not entirely convinced, believed most of what he said.

"Alright... I understand. I will remember what happened today. If you ever need my help in the future, I will do my best to assist you!"

Shangguan Tingye's beautiful face was full of determination.

After she left, Elder Xue appeared.

"Young Master, I just went to Tian Shu Gate to check, and that kid has already woken up."

"Perfect."

Lin Feng sneered.

After thinking for a moment, Elder Xue said, "Are you trying to stir up conflict between Li Jingxiao and Shangguan Tingye?"

"Pretty much. Given Shangguan Tingye's personality, she will definitely tell Li Jingxiao about it the moment she returns to Tian Shu Sect. As for Li Jingxiao, after how I humiliated him, do you think he would believe me? Not only would he not believe me, he might even think that Shangguan Tingye betrayed him and colluded with me... Hmph, let's just watch the rift between them widen."

"As for the evidence I just mentioned... it has all been secretly dealt with by Feng Yushang. Even if Shangguan Tingye has great abilities, he can only find some unsubstantiated rumors, which cannot be considered evidence."

No sooner had Shangguan Tingye left Lin Feng's place than he summoned his protectors.

He was an elderly man with a hunched back.

"Old Mu, do me a favor."

"Please give your instructions, Miss."

"I need to know the full story of the village massacre that happened more than ten years ago. You should know about it, right? It's related to Brother Xiao, the one that Emperor Xuan Yan personally led!"

"But, isn't that already..."

"Go do it! And be quick!"

"...Alright, I'll obey your command."

Shangguan Mu's figure suddenly vanished.

He was indeed quick. In less than three days, he presented the information he had gathered to Shangguan Tingye and said in a deep voice, "Miss, there were indeed some strange things about what happened back then, but the specific evidence has been completely destroyed by someone. We have only collected this much so far. It is very likely that Li Jingxiao's memory was erased back then, which is why he does not remember these things. As for the rest... please take a look."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Shangguan Tingye took the evidence with trembling hands. After reading it, she firmly believed what Lin Feng had said earlier.

"No, I have to go find Brother Xiao!"

"But you are still under house arrest!"

Shangguan Mu's vision went black, and he tried to stop her.
