Chapter 234 The Truth About Mingcang is Revealed
Back at the inn, Ming Cang sat down and glared at Feng Yue, scolding, "You brat, what are you doing squatting on someone's roof in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
"I, I..." Seeing Feng Yue clenching his fingers and hanging his head in silence, Ming Cang suddenly remembered what he had said that day. Could it be that this kid went to see his sweetheart again?
Thinking back on what had just happened, Ming Cang's eyes widened suddenly. Could that person be Qing Yu?!
How can this be allowed?
Although they haven't spent much time together, Qing Yu seems like a difficult person to get along with. If Feng Yue were to live with him, he would be bullied to death!
"I disagree!"
As soon as Ming Cang finished speaking, the room fell silent, and everyone looked at him in bewilderment.
"Master, what do you disagree with?" Ye Luo asked.
“It’s nothing…” Ming Cang glanced at Feng Yue, sighed, and looked at Ye Luo, angrily saying, “It’s time to talk to you. What exactly happened that caused this mess?”
Ye Luo scratched his head and smiled, looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated. Seeing this, Ming Cang waved for everyone to go and rest, leaving him behind alone.
"Speak."
“Master, I met the Fourth Elder and talked to her about some things, so I’m going to investigate tonight.”
"Oh?" Ming Cang seemed somewhat surprised. "It's quite rare for her to actually show up and chat with you. So what did you go to investigate?"
"She mentioned a mysterious evil spirit. I had seen it before and had some suspicions about it, so I used some magic to test it out..."
"Are you asking for it?!"
Ming Cang's face instantly turned ugly. He had heard her explain the evil spirit in detail before, and it was not something he could easily deal with.
"It seems Master knew as well."
"Hmm, those evil spirits are very strange. They can survive until now with only a wisp of their souls. They are not easy to deal with. Who did you test just now?"
"Bai Ruoqian".
"Her? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"Um...she's the prime suspect."
After pondering for a moment, Ming Cang asked, "Why do you feel there's something strange about her?"
"Um... I don't have any substantial evidence, it's just a strange intuition, so I went to test it out."
"What did you find out from that test?"
"Hehe, no..." Ye Luo couldn't help but smile awkwardly. Who would have thought that he would run into the two of them making love, ruining his painstaking plan.
"Since there's no evidence, it's not appropriate for us to discuss this with the alliance. You shouldn't get involved in this matter anymore."
"Oh, okay."
Ming Cang said, "I know Fu Zhenghan quite well. He hates evil and heretical people the most. If she really has a problem, he will never let her go."
Ye Luo smiled dismissively, "What if he senses something but turns a blind eye to her?"
Fu Zhenghan's favoritism towards her was something his former disciple had deeply felt, so even if he knew something was amiss, it wasn't impossible for him to let her go.
"Hey, probably not."
"Why are you so certain, Master?"
"There is a secret that is little known to the outside world."
"Oh, what's the matter?" Ye Luo asked curiously.
Ming Cang sighed, took a sip of tea, and continued, "When Fu Zhenghan was young, he was imprisoned and tortured by evil cultivators for ten years. He hates evil cultivators to the bone. The number of evil cultivators who have died at his hands over the years is countless."
"Oh, I see..." Ye Luo couldn't help but be surprised. She didn't expect that her former master had such a tragic experience.
"Alright, go back to your room and rest. You have a match tomorrow."
"Oh, then this disciple will take his leave."
On the other end.
Fu Zhenghan's cold and stern face was full of anger. He glanced at Bai Ruoqian, who was drinking tea as if nothing had happened, and looked at Su Yuyuan, who was kneeling with disheveled clothes.
"When exactly did your affair begin?"
"It's been...it's been a long time..." Su Yuyuan, who had just woken up, was pale. He couldn't help but glance at Bai Ruoqian and said, "Master, please forgive me, my junior sister and I are truly in love..."
"Does true love justify reckless behavior? And someone even caught you two in the act!"
"Master, please forgive me... It's all my fault!"
Fu Zhenghan sighed and said, "There are no secrets that stay hidden forever. Since that's the case, you should present yourselves as a couple from now on. Find some time to hold a dual cultivation ceremony. This way, you can protect your reputation and avoid gossip from others."
Su Yuyuan's face was full of joy as he said, "Thank you for your kindness, Master!"
Lu Xuan concealed the mockery in her eyes, clapped her hands, and exclaimed joyfully, "That's wonderful! Congratulations!"
"Thank you, Junior Sister Lü..."
"Congratulations!" Yang Shen looked at the two of them with complicated expressions. If it were in the past, he would never have been able to say congratulatory words, but now he felt completely unmoved.
"Ha, are you guys out of your minds? Did I say I agreed?"
At this moment, Bai Ruoqian put down her teacup, glared at Lü Xuan resentfully, looked at her master sitting upright in the main seat, and said coldly, "My life's important matters are none of your concern, Master."
“Junior Sister…” Su Yuyuan knew she was proud and that he was not her final choice, so he wanted to use this opportunity to settle their relationship. Unexpectedly, he was still rejected.
"I was just tricked by my senior brother and only tasted the forbidden fruit on a whim. I never thought about becoming his Daoist partner, and the Bai family would never agree to this marriage."
Upon hearing this, Su Yuyuan's face paled, but a glimmer of hope remained in his heart. He said, "Junior Sister... please give me a chance. I will definitely work hard to succeed in cultivation..."
"With my talent, I will soon surpass you. How will you then compare to me?"
Bai Ruoqian's face was full of indifference. It wasn't that she hadn't considered choosing him, but whether it was his cultivation level or his background, he had nothing that could help her.
She will not stop at the Tianfeng Sect, nor will she stop at the lower realm.
If she wants to go far, she must consider better options and find a more solid support.
Fu Zhenghan roared, "Nonsense! What do you take the reputation of the Tianfeng Sect for?!"
"Heh, Master, only the five of us know about tonight's events. If word gets out, don't you know who you should severely punish?"
After saying that, Bai Ruoqian stared at Lü Xuan with a cold gaze, her whole body exuding a faint killing intent, "Junior Sister Lü, if this gets out, you might be dead!"
Upon hearing this, Lü Xuan's face stiffened, and she hid behind Yang Shen, trembling as she said, "I... I won't say anything... Besides, we're not the only ones who know, are we?"
"How dare you!"
Fu Zhenghan slammed his hand on the table and roared, "It's your behavior that's inappropriate! Now you even dare to threaten your fellow disciples! How have you become so unruly and unreasonable?!"
