Gu Qingfeng looked at the important figures carefully, especially at the Heavenly Grade Demon Slayer Li Qianren. He found that Li Qianren actually looked quite good, only slightly worse than himself.
He has sharp eyebrows, bright eyes and a resolute face as sharp as a knife. Although he is almost forty, he looks like he is in his twenties. It's a pity that his gloomy eyes slightly lower his appearance, and his whole temperament becomes a little gloomy, just like a poisonous snake hiding in the jungle.
"What do you think about this matter?" Li Qianren suddenly asked.
An Earth-rank demon slayer beside him groaned for a moment: "This aura is undoubtedly that of a mirror demon."
Another Earth-rank demon slayer answered excitedly, "Yes, it is the Mirror Demon. I never thought that he was alive two hundred years ago, but now he has died at the hands of our Wutong County Demon Suppression Division. If we report this to the court, our Demon Suppression Division will surely become famous!"
"Famous? Humph." An Earth-rank demon slayer suddenly sneered, "I think it's better to just show off. How do we report it to the court? Tell the court that the mirror demon, one of the seven demon generals who killed several masters two hundred years ago, died at the hands of a warrior at the fourth level of Qi Gathering? Do you think the court will believe it? Will they punish us for deceiving the emperor?"
"This... But this is the truth. No one knew that the one who could restrain the mirror monster would be an external skill."
"You believe him when he says it's external skills? In the battle two hundred years ago, several of the masters who died at the hands of the mirror monster had practiced external skills! The masters who practiced external skills were no match for the mirror monster, so why could a martial artist at the fourth level of Qi Gathering defeat the mirror monster? Have you ever thought about this question?"
Hearing this, Gu Qingfeng was shocked. Shit, is his lie going to be exposed in front of everyone?
At this time, Li Qianren raised his hand to stop the argument of several Earth-level demon hunters, and looked at Gu Qingfeng with a pair of gloomy eyes.
"Gu Qingfeng, what do you have to say?"
At this point, Gu Qingfeng could only bite the bullet and continue to lie: "Every word I said is true. I did defeat the mirror monster with my external skills."
Li Qianren did not question Gu Qingfeng immediately. Instead, he calmly examined Gu Qingfeng for a moment, his pair of eyes like a venomous snake seemed to see through him.
Gu Qingfeng looked at him without changing his expression. He had already made up his mind that if anything bad happened, he would just take action. With his indestructible body and various abilities, even if he couldn't defeat the master, he should have no problem protecting himself.
"Tell me what happened from beginning to end." Li Qianren suddenly said.
Gu Qingfeng was about to speak when Li Qianren said, "That fat guy, you speak."
"Ah?" Fatty Wang was stunned for a moment, looked left and right, and found that he was the fattest person in the room. Then he realized that Lord Li was calling him, so he hurried forward, preparing to tell the story nervously and excitedly.
Fatty Wang was nervous because he was going to speak in front of the highest commander, and he was excited because he was going to speak in front of the highest commander.
Why didn't Lord Li let Lord Gu tell the story, but let me tell it instead? Could it be that he thinks I am different and appreciates me?
Fatty Wang calmed himself down and began to tell the story.
Li Qianren kept calculating in his mind that among the three, the fat man looked the most timid. A timid person is most likely to leave flaws when lying, so letting him tell the story is the best choice.
"Yesterday...Yesterday was Master Gu's first day in office, and we were assigned to Blackwater Village..."
Fatty Wang stuttered a bit at first, but after talking for a while, he finally got used to it and began to tell the story.
He still had some sense of propriety and knew that Gu Qingfeng was a narrow-minded person, so he didn't dare to say a bad word about Gu Qingfeng. Instead, he said all the good things he could.
The story of Gu Qingfeng who was deceived into destroying a village and one of the Seven Demon Generals was changed into a story in which Gu Qingfeng cares about the people, fulfills his duties faithfully, and for the sake of peace, he visits the Black Water Village at night, bravely enters the Dead Bone Forest, and fights the Seven Demon Generals with wits.
"Our Lord Gu resolutely chose to stay in the village at night after exploring Heishui Village in the daytime without any results, in order to protect the villagers from being harmed by the demons. After dark, Heishui Village really became abnormal. The vendor selling candied haws, three children and the village chief mysteriously disappeared one after another in front of us. Lord Gu was concerned about the safety of the villagers and broke into every house to check on the safety of the people.
But who would have thought that all the people in the village had disappeared. At this time, Lord Gu told us that Heishui Village was under his jurisdiction and he must protect the villagers of Heishui Village. He must find them alive or dead, and he even went so far as to break into the forest of dead bones at night.
When we arrived at the Dead Bone Forest, we found that all the villagers had turned into zombies. Under the leadership of Lord Gu, the two of us fought bloody battles, killing seven zombies in and out, and fought for several hours before we finally killed all the zombies.
Later, we were dragged into the underworld by the mirror monster."
When Fatty Wang said this, he suddenly remembered that the next plot was that Lord Gu entered the mirror space because of his recklessness and looked at himself in the mirror. This part must not be told, as it would make Lord Gu seem too stupid, otherwise he would be in big trouble. So he changed his words.
"In the Yin Realm, more than 500 villagers chased us with mirrors. In order to protect us, Lord Gu resolutely stood in front of us, but he himself was taken into the mirror space...
After that, Lord Gu defeated his own clone, killed the mirror monster, and rescued us. Then the Yin Realm collapsed, and more than 500 ghosts chased us. At this time, Lord Gu stepped forward again and asked us to go first, and he would cover the rear. I, Wang Shan, am naturally not a coward, so how could I leave Lord Gu alone?
But in order to protect us, Lord Gu cursed and drove us away.
Finally, under the heroic leadership of Lord Gu, we all escaped."
Gu Qingfeng was stunned as he listened, and his face suddenly felt a little hot for no reason.
Is this really me? I am so great?
It seems that I have been blaming Fatty Wang wrongly before. This guy is a talented person, and I will give him less trouble in the future.
After listening to Fatty Wang's story, Li Qianren and others couldn't help but look at Gu Qingfeng frequently, thinking that even if there was half truth in what the fat man said, after subtracting half of it, Gu Qingfeng could still be regarded as an upright, brave and competent demon slayer.
Afterwards, Li Qianren and others asked the three people some specific details and did not find any major flaws.
At this time, an Earth-rank demon slayer suddenly said, "Hmph, no matter how perfect your story is, I will never believe that a warrior at the fourth level of Qi Gathering can defeat the mirror demon, one of the seven demon generals, by relying on external skills. If he can win, then wouldn't those masters who practiced external skills two hundred years ago have died in vain?"
The other several Earth-rank demon slayers also thought it made sense, because it was the truth and could not be refuted. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why the Grand Master who also practiced external skills could not defeat the Mirror Monster, but you, a mere person at the fourth level of Qi Gathering, could defeat the Mirror Monster?
Isn't this bullshit?
