Bang!
As soon as Jiang Deng left the sword plate and landed on the ground, Bai Sitang immediately struggled to get down.
"Who asked you to save me? I don't need your pity!"
"Are you sure? With your bad temper, is there anyone who would pity you?"
Jiang Deng came close to Bai Sitang and looked at his rather ferocious-looking face, without any disgust in his eyes.
But Bai Sitang still felt uncomfortable all over. He couldn't help but cover his face with his hands and cursed, "Get out of here! How can you look at my face?"
Jiang Deng chuckled, "Okay, it seems a little ugly, but it's just so-so once you get used to it. Do you really have to cover it up so tightly?"
"What do you know!"
Bai Sitang's eyes felt a little sore.
He had always been looked up to by others, but because of the wound on his face, he became someone who was despised and laughed at by others.
Originally, he could continue to deceive himself as long as he covered his face, but in the end... Jiang Deng ruined everything!
"Tsk, I'm really impressed by you."
Jiang Deng shook her head and decided to return the mask to Bai Sitang since she was the one who lost it.
Sizzle——
There was a sharp sound of cloth tearing.
Jiang Deng directly tore off a corner of Bai Sitang's robe and threw it in front of him. "I don't know where the red cloth you used before was blown away by the wind. Anyway, your clothes are also red, so just make do with it."
Bai Sitang didn't reach out to catch it, and the piece of red cloth swayed and fell at his feet.
"...Since this is compensation to me, why did you tear my clothes?"
Bai Sitang looked at Jiang Deng through the gaps between his fingers, waiting for her explanation.
Jiang Deng said calmly, "If I don't tear your clothes, how can I tear mine? I'm not disfigured."
Bai Sitang was instantly furious. "If you were disfigured, your reaction would definitely be even more exaggerated than mine!"
"If it's ruined, it's ruined."
Jiang Deng shrugged. "If anyone dares to laugh at me in front of me, I will beat his mouth so hard that he won't even be able to fart."
After what happened in her previous life, she also saw through it.
Appearance, demeanor, reputation and so on are all fleeting.
In fact, anyone and anything may betray you, but only your own strength will not.
As long as you are strong enough, others will have to think twice before speaking to you.
If it was Duan Chuan who had his face injured today, others would definitely not laugh at how ugly the scar was. Instead, they would praise him for his wisdom and bravery. The scar on his face was a testament to his glory...
"Hmph, that's easy for you to say."
Bai Sitang sneered.
Although he still looked down on Jiang Deng, he obediently picked up the red cloth on the ground and used it to cover the injured lower half of his face.
“Tsk.”
Jiang Deng shook his head and turned away.
As expected, good deeds don't bring good rewards. She saved Bai Sitang's life! But she didn't even get a thank you. If she had known earlier, she should have left this guy alone and let him sleep in the sword disk.
Just as I thought of this, I heard a barely audible "thank you" from behind me.
Jiang Deng curled the corners of his lips slightly.
Perhaps, Bai Sitang is not so hopeless...
Looking around, except for the few unlucky guys who were killed by the ghost cultivators, all the others in the sword plate had left the sword plate and gathered in an open space.
Yun Haoran, the leader of Kaitianmen, was still not idle. As the collapse of the sword disk continued, he was frantically injecting spiritual power into the sword disk, preparing to close it.
However... these things have nothing to do with her, a small person, for the time being. Jiang Deng decisively walked towards the location of Taichu Sword Sect.
But as soon as Jiang Deng arrived at the place, before he could say anything, he found that his vision went dark and a series of people in green clothes suddenly appeared and surrounded them.
"What do you want to do?"
Jiang Deng looked at Pei Er, who was in the lead, with an unfriendly expression.
These people are all members of the Pei family. They suddenly come to the door. Could it be that Pei Er discovered that the sword tassel was stolen by her and is preparing to take it back?
"Haha, Sect Master Jiang, you know it clearly in your heart."
Pei Er said arrogantly, "The ghost cultivators didn't come out earlier or later, but chose to come out during your competition. We now suspect that you are colluding with the ghost cultivators to disrupt the sword competition and destroy the ancient relic of the Sword Plate! Come with us. If you are truly innocent, we will let you go after we find out the truth."
"no!"
Everyone in the Taichu Sword Sect protested.
Xia Chenqing even looked at Duan Chuan who was sitting on the high seat and said, "Master Sword Master, our sect leader has already won the decisive battle. She is the champion of this sword competition. According to the previous rules, you should fulfill your promise. How can you allow others to frame our sect leader?"
"Right!" Jiang Zhiling nodded in agreement. "Sister has already won the competition, why would she disrupt the sword fighting competition? What good would that do to Sister?"
"Master Sword Master, Sect Leader Jiang has always hated ghost cultivators. How could he possibly ally with them? This doesn't make sense!"
…
Others who had a good relationship with Jiang Deng, such as Nangong Xiangrui, also protested.
Hearing everyone say this, Jiang Deng couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
She knew that Pei Er was at best a cannon fodder to incite hatred, and that someone else was trying to seize her...
Passing through Pei Er, Jiang Deng's gaze fell on Pei Yu and Duan Chuan at the end of his sight.
Is it Pei Yu?
Or Duan Chuan?
At this moment, Duan Chuan looked over with an indifferent expression, "I also suspect Jiang Deng is colluding with the ghost cultivators. If she is cleared of suspicion after interrogation, I will fulfill my promise and take her in as my sword attendant."
Pei Yu, who was standing by, curled his eyes and agreed, "That's right. If Sect Leader Jiang had nothing to hide, he wouldn't be afraid of being interrogated."
It turns out that this idea of singing the same tune was from two people?
Okay!
Jiang Deng said with a smile, "Okay, I can go with you, but...don't you have to show some respect? After all, I'm the leader of the second-largest sword sect in the Ten Realms, right?"
Duan Chuan's eyes showed a hint of coldness. "What do you want me to say?"
Originally, he wanted to take advantage of this cultivator's strength and accept her as his swordsman as long as she passed the interrogation and it was confirmed that she was not the one who stole the Hongmeng Spring.
I didn't expect this monk to be so clueless!
He thought that he really needed to think carefully about whether to accept her as his sword servant. Otherwise, he always felt that he would be pissed off to death by her...
"Master Sword Master, I heard that if I become your sword attendant, I can succeed him as the leader of the first great sword sect, Kaitianmen."
Under the gaze of the crowd, Jiang Deng shamelessly expressed his thoughts, "But I'm already the leader of the Taichu Sword Sect, and I have no interest in becoming the leader of the Kaitian Sect. So... why don't you just announce that the Taichu Sword Sect will replace the Kaitian Sect and become the largest sword sect in the Ten Realms?"
