Swallowing this insult is easier said than done.
The accountability from Lingshan followed one after another, listing the crimes of Lingxian Palace like a petition to the people, and the condemnation from all the immortal sects could no longer be suppressed.
This is what is called power. If it were just Su Cheng alone, he would probably have already been labeled as an evil cultivator.
However, the Lingxian Palace of today is no longer what it used to be.
"You are the sect leader of Lingxian Palace?"
Standing in front of the thatched hut was a girl. She was short, even shorter than Yu Lan, and wore a white gauze dress.
Although it's not very big, it's actually quite large!
The off-the-shoulder gauze skirt, resembling Hanfu, is almost too big to contain her little white rabbit!
Although she can't compare to the second disciple who traded intelligence for a better physique, she is still just as good as Qinghan!
What a disgrace to a child's appearance!
Su Cheng had no recollection of the girl, so he could only check the system.
Hmm...Lingshan...Elder of Xiaoyao Peak...
To be honest, Su Cheng initially thought they were there to become apprentices...
His name is Cang Jue. Hmm, it sounds like he has a lot of tough fists and isn't easy to bully.
"Yes, I am Su Cheng. Is there something you need from me, young lady?"
Cang Jue looked displeased. Su Cheng's thoughts were not the same as hers. She found it hard to imagine that this man in a coarse cloth robe carrying a vegetable basket was the man who almost wiped out the Heavenly Dao Pavilion.
"I was sent by the Grand Elder, so I'll be frank: you've caused trouble this time, and Lingshan has no obligation to clean up your mess."
Su Cheng understood; they had come to question him!
It was faster than he expected. He thought those old guys would take some time, but he didn't expect them to be so united this time.
"The girl is alone?"
"Otherwise what?"
Would you like to come in and sit for a while?
"No, there's nowhere to sit in this thatched hut."
Su Cheng smiled, having already formed a basic understanding of the Cang Jue technique!
This guy clearly doesn't understand him, nor does he understand Lingxian Palace!
That makes things much easier!
"What did Ms. Cang... oops, Elder Cang mean just now? What do you mean I've caused trouble?"
Su Cheng put down the vegetables and some meat he had just bought, then lit a cigarette: "Do you smoke?"
"You want to say you didn't do what happened at the Heavenly Dao Pavilion?"
Su Cheng, channeling Li Shiyao's spirit, began to feign ignorance...
"Heavenly Dao Pavilion? You mean something happened to your junior brother's disciple? What happened? I haven't heard anything about it!"
Teacher Cang sneered, "Keep pretending, let's see how long you can keep up this act. You slaughtered seventy-six disciples of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion, leaving only two elders and countless others seriously injured. You want to say that all of this is a false accusation against you?"
"How could this happen? This is impossible!"
Su Cheng stared wide-eyed, his mouth agape, his face filled with disbelief!
"Ms. Cang, everyone knows I have no cultivation! I'm afraid even if I said I did it, no one would believe me!"
"Although his cultivation has improved recently, he is still only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and even inferior to my eldest disciple!"
"Teacher, I'm not just making wild guesses, but this is probably someone deliberately slandering my Lingxian Palace!"
"Elder Cang Jue, you mustn't listen to slander and wrong an innocent person!"
Su Cheng's true feelings were evident in his words, which were accompanied by gestures, and his face was filled with disbelief and injustice!
"Besides, Master Cheng and I were once fellow disciples. How could I possibly harm a fellow disciple?"
"Also, how is Sect Leader Cheng doing now? If what Teacher Cang said is true, I should go and visit him another day!"
Cang Jue sneered: "You mean, you didn't do it?"
Su Cheng lies without even blushing!
"Of course not!"
Cang Jue was speechless: "The evidence is conclusive, and you still want to deny it?"
"What evidence?"
Cang Jue thought to himself, "This is what you did. What evidence do you need? So many people saw it with their own eyes. Do you still need evidence?"
"Sect Leader Su, I don't care how you achieved this Foundation Establishment cultivation level, but I still hope you can give the world an explanation."
"Don't cause trouble for Lingshan, and even more so, don't cause trouble for me."
Su Cheng smiled.
"It seems that everyone from the Heavenly Dao Pavilion is saying the same thing. I stayed in the Lingxian Palace all day that day and didn't go out at all."
"I never intended to cause Elder Cang any trouble, but Elder Cang can easily see that this is a blatant frame-up!"
"I suppose Elder Cang only wants two things on this trip: first, to find evidence that I was the one who made the move, and second, to demand an explanation."
"Given Elder Cang's style of doing things, wouldn't one of these two things be enough?"
Cang Jue wasn't stupid; wasn't this an insult to her?
"You've got some nerve! Are you saying this elder is just trying to brush me off without distinguishing right from wrong?"
"If that's the case, then this elder will investigate thoroughly. Have you cleaned up your mess?"
Su Cheng laughed and said, "Teacher Cang, please make yourself at home. My second disciple hasn't had lunch yet, and he's probably going to cry later. Please excuse me."
After saying this, Su Cheng turned and walked towards the woods, intending to go back and cook for his second disciple, whose belly often made thunderous noises.
"Wait, are you trying to flee from justice? And right in front of this elder?"
Su Cheng was startled! Something's wrong!
This plot doesn't feel right!
"Ms. Cang, I'm going back to Lingxian Palace now. Please make your way."
In the blink of an eye, before the dust had even settled, Cang Jue's figure flashed in front of Su Cheng, blocking his path!
A pair of small hands transformed into dragon-catching claws, firmly gripping Su Cheng's wrists.
