After he finished speaking, another elder said, "I agree. If I were a righteous cultivator, how could I behave in such a horrific way? Only a demonic cultivator would act in this way."
"That's right," others echoed.
When Shen Qingtang heard what they said, he felt as if there was a fire burning in his stomach. What they said sounded very reasonable, but the intention was to put the blame on the evil cultivator.
Most of the evil cultivators commit many evil deeds. If this incident is said to be done by the evil cultivators, Jiuxiao Immortal Sect is just a victim, and the consequences are far less serious than they are now. At most, it can be said that the evil cultivators are rampant and cunning, and even the First Immortal Sect can sneak into them.
But this kind of filthy thing is not an isolated case. Elder Moshi is one of them. There are many peak masters in Jiuxiao Xianmen. On the surface, it seems peaceful, but who knows how much filth is hidden underneath.
If this could be disclosed and the filth could be eradicated directly, the sect would suffer temporary damage, but there would always be a chance of survival. However, now it means burying everything under the surface.
Shen Qingtang said, "I don't think it's appropriate."
All the elders looked over, and the sect leader said sternly, "What does True Man Qingxiao think is wrong?"
"Master Shanghe's cultivation method doesn't contain even a trace of demonic energy. He is a righteous cultivator. If he is said to be colluding with demonic cultivators, then there must be more than one person in the sect who is colluding." Shen Qingtang bowed and said, "Please, Sect Master, thoroughly investigate this matter and do not allow such a villain to remain in the sect."
His words were cold and resounding, but they brought complete silence to the place.
The elders looked at each other in bewilderment. The sect leader sighed and said, "I know that I haven't been strict enough. There may not only be one person in the sect who is colluding with the demon cultivators, Shanghe. The entire Shanghe Peak may also be Shanghe's lair. After this incident, no demon cultivator in Shanghe Peak will be able to escape. What do you think?"
What he meant was to judge all the people in Shanghe Peak as demonic cultivators without any discrimination.
Shen Qingtang frowned slightly: "Master, that's not what I meant."
"Then we can discuss this matter after the sect has overcome its difficulties." The sect master held out a hand to stop him from speaking. "Right now, this is a matter of life and death for the sect. If the evil cultivators use this as an excuse to stir up trouble and make random accusations, the world of cultivation will be in chaos."
"It's a good thing that Master Qingxiao is eager to help others, but it's better to put the sect first in everything," said an elder.
The other elders agreed: "That's right."
"Everything that Master Qingxiao mentioned was something that should be resolved privately."
They seemed to be one and the same, which made Shen Qingtang seem out of place here. He knew that the matter was settled, so he put down his hands and closed his mouth, but he felt that this matter was absurd and disheartening.
Jiuxiao Xianmen is the leader of the righteous path, and the people in the sect should be strict with themselves and set an example for many cultivators. However, in order to maintain the so-called face, they do not admit or take responsibility when something happens, but instead shirk responsibility and cover up the truth.
This is the sect he believes in and loves.
Shen Qingtang felt a slight nausea spreading through his chest. He felt suffocated in this space. He stood up and said, "Since the elders have made their decision, Qingxiao will take his leave."
The clan leader did not stop him: "You go ahead."
Shen Qingtang turned around and left. After he left the place and felt a breath of cold wind, he felt a little relieved.
Lin Su stayed at the top of Qingxiao Peak. Half of the ice and snow here had been melted by Shen Qingtang, and only the other half at the ice cave was sealed by a magic circle, so the temperature could not be transmitted here.
The place that was once freezing cold was now as warm as spring. However, after not being home for a few days, small grass sprouts had already grown on the ground in front of the house. From a distance, it looked tender green and fluffy, which was particularly pleasing to the eye.
Lin Su did not touch those things. Instead, he took the blueprint drawn by Shen Qingtang, took out the tools and began to cultivate the wasteland. He did not use any spiritual energy, but planted the seeds one by one and inserted the willow and bamboo branches one by one.
He was extremely patient in doing this monotonous task. Shen Qingtang returned from the main peak. His previous anger had not subsided, and he was now angry again. He didn't want Lin Su to see him. Even when he reached the top of the peak, he only looked at him from a distance, but the more he looked, the calmer he felt.
Planting flowers and grass, such trivial matters are just a piece of cake for cultivators, but when Shen Qingtang was planning the peak, he wanted to arrange it by himself without using spiritual energy. If he could succeed, he would naturally feel a great sense of accomplishment.
He thought Lin Su might not agree, so he would just take care of them one by one by himself, but he didn't expect that he thought the same way. They could communicate with each other without words, and this feeling was really great.
Shen Qingtang was so lost in thought that his spiritual energy leaked out. The man who was inserting the willow branches suddenly looked up, and his serious expression turned into joy: "Master is back."
"Well, sorry to bother you." Shen Qingtang walked over, ignoring the mud on his shoes. He lifted up his skirt and squatted down, smoothing the hair that was hanging down from Lin Su's shoulders behind him and said, "Why did you do it yourself?"
"Since this is the place where I will live with my master in the future, I naturally have to decorate it myself to make it more interesting." Lin Su said with a smile.
"I think so too." Shen Qingtang pursed her lips, "I'll go with you."
This was the first time he didn't need to address him as "Master". Lin Su looked at him and asked, "Master went to the main peak, but what happened?"
It would have been fine if he hadn't asked. Shen Qingtang naturally didn't want this matter to bother him, but when he asked, the desire to talk suddenly spread. "What do you think is the most appropriate way to handle this matter with Master Shanghe?"
The actions of Master Shanghe are the worst of those in the righteous path. Once such things are exposed to the sun, the entire Jiuxiao Xianmen will be implicated. According to the style of the Jiuxiao Xianmen in the original world line, all good things are theirs, and bad things are pushed aside whenever possible. Occasionally, they also have to eliminate dissidents to preserve the reputation of the sect. Therefore, Lin Su did not need to listen to the decision of the main peak this time. He knew that they would definitely push the matter onto the demon cultivator. After all, they had done so to the person in front of him.
Shen Qingtang is an upright person and will not tolerate such filthy things. The sect's actions will only disappoint him, but sooner or later he will be disappointed. It would be better for him to take action in advance so that he can leave this place as soon as possible.
This is also the reason why Lin Su insisted that Chu Xi disclose this matter to the public.
"If you do something wrong, you must take responsibility for it. If there are termites, you must eliminate them. A thousand-mile dam can be breached by an ant hole. This is a very simple truth." Lin Su said.
"Yes, you understand everything, but they don't." Shen Qingtang looked at him straight.
Lin Su smiled and said, "Master, if you say this, I must..." and then he got angry.
Before he could finish his words, the person squatting there threw himself into his arms, hugging him tightly and burying his head in Lin Su's shoulder, like a child who had been wronged.
