Chapter 28 The White Moonlight Kills the Male and Female Protagonists (28)
At this moment, Canglan wished he had never taken Jin Shu as a disciple, and the coldness in his eyes almost devoured Jin Shu.
Of course, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Canglan retained the last shred of rationality and did not openly confront Jin Shu. Instead, he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words.
"Go back, and I will give you an explanation!"
Jin Shu sneered.
This smile completely shattered the aloof and detached immortal image that Canglan had painstakingly maintained for ten thousand years.
Of course, this smile also revealed Jin Shu's attitude; this master-disciple relationship was likely to end at today's birthday banquet.
"Then why don't you draw up a written agreement? My father left behind 3,124 items, and I will give you 3,000 of them. I remember all kinds of spiritual artifacts and treasures clearly, and they are already listed on the inventory."
Your signature will reduce the doubts the spirits have about you, and it will also put my mind at ease as their disciple.
After speaking, Jin Shu handed the prepared document to Cang Lan.
Among them, the imprint of spiritual power, if not obeyed, will only cause a backlash of spiritual power that damages the heart meridian, which is considered a rather vicious contract method in the immortal realm.
But this also makes people feel more at ease.
Everyone here is shrewd; they were just insulted by Canglan, and now they're all urging each other on.
"Yes, sign it quickly, so the young lady won't be worried."
“We’ll all be witnesses, and Jin Shu too. Your father and I had a good relationship back then. If anything happens, I’ll be waiting at Xuanyuan Mountain to back you up!”
"The same goes for Dongyuan Mountain!"
"And Muchuan Mountain!"
...
This barrage of pressure nearly made Canglan fly into the sky with rage.
He couldn't care less about anything else. He had spent his whole life trying to save face, and now he had no choice but to bite the bullet and sign the contract.
In short, we'll talk about the rest when we get back. If Jin Shu breaks the contract, then it's none of his business.
"Thank you all for witnessing this for me. Once I receive the spiritual artifact, I will personally visit you to express my gratitude."
Oh wow, there's even a benefit to be gained.
This made everyone even more excited.
Canglan's face turned even darker, almost black as ink.
In the end, the farce came to an end.
The Queen Mother issued an ultimatum.
Canglan must hand over the thief within three days. She doesn't care who it is; she wants both the spirit stones and the person.
Canglan is now in real trouble.
Of the four Queen Mothers of the East, West, South, North, and Four Seas, apart from the Queen Mother of the West, the others are all relatively easy to talk to.
Unfortunately, the Queen Mother of the West is the head of the four seas and holds a lofty position, while Kunlun is just a celestial mountain. If she really has a falling out with the Western Sea, Kunlun will definitely be the one to suffer in the end.
Therefore, Canglan dared not say anything and returned to the mountain with several disciples.
The first thing he did upon arriving in Kunlun was to issue an order.
"Jin Shu, do you know your mistake?"
Jin Shu had anticipated his outburst and spoke calmly.
"Where did I go wrong? Was I wrong to entrust you with all the treasures my father left behind?"
"Immortal Lord, return my father's belongings to me according to the contract."
"A teacher's kindness is as deep as the sea. I am your teacher, and I have taught you for three thousand years. This kindness is no less than that of your father!"
Are you going to bring this up with her?
Canglan's cultivation over the past tens of thousands of years has probably all come down to his words; otherwise, how could he still utter such shameless words at a time like this?
"My father saved your life on the battlefield back then. How do you repay that debt of gratitude?"
The events of yesteryear are long forgotten by Canglan!
Moreover, even if Emperor Hao hadn't intervened back then, he couldn't bear to see someone die on the battlefield!
Jin Shu's words were no different from a threat to him, and would only make Cang Lan more dissatisfied.
"Jin Shu, you have committed insubordination and spoken recklessly! What have you done to the reputation of our sect? Not only that, as a disciple you have no humility, and as a senior sister you have no tolerance for others!"
Today's incident has caused Kunlun to lose face. For this crime alone, I can punish you severely!
"Quiet Night, Lianxin, tie her up and lock her in jail!"
Exactly the same words.
Although the causes and consequences are different, it doesn't stop Canglan from still wanting to kill her, just like in his dream!
Recalling the life she endured in that cage, a layer of frost settled in Jin Shu's eyes.
The diligent training he had put in day and night without a moment's slack had now come in handy.
She's no longer that helpless fool who can be manipulated by others!
Lianxin was still hesitating when Jingye took a step forward.
"Junior sister, I have offended you greatly. You were indeed wrong in this matter. It would be good for you to reflect on your actions."
After saying that, he reached out to grab Jin Shu's arm.
Before he could even touch her, he was blasted away by a powerful force, crashing heavily to the ground, rolling over once, and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Everyone who saw this was shocked.
Even Meng Ling, who had been hiding in the back and dared not speak, was shocked by this scene and her eyes widened.
Jingye is at the early stage of the middle realm of the Body Integration stage!
There are only a handful of people in the world who can completely crush and send him flying without lifting a finger.
Canglan's pupils dilated in shock.
"You unfilial disciple! How dare you deny that you stole the spirit stones!!"
This level of cultivation is at least at the upper realm!
No wonder the Queen Mother of the West could only detect her mid-level cultivation at the birthday banquet; it turns out she was deliberately hiding it!
Canglan was furious and felt deeply deceived, so he attacked Jin Shu without hesitation.
"You unfilial wretch, if I don't teach you a lesson today, you will surely become arrogant and reckless in the future, and bring about your own destruction!"
With that, he swung a heavy blow at Jin Shu.
Jin Shu was prepared.
While dodging to the side, he immediately counterattacked.
The two fought back and forth, and Canglan, who thought he could end the battle in a few moves, became increasingly serious.
Jin Shu's strength is unfathomable.
Although he was subordinate to him, he was not so easy to deal with.
"You refined all the spirit stones?!"
Jin Shu ignored him completely and took the initiative to attack. Cang Lan actually dodged in a sorry state and was even hit in the chest by her palm!
Seeing this, Meng Ling attacked Jin Shu from behind.
With the two sides attacking from the same direction, and with Jingye Lianxin observing from the sidelines, Jin Shu knew she had no chance of winning.
She didn't come back to suffer this time.
So she simply abandoned Canglan, turned around abruptly, easily deflected Meng Ling's sneak attack, and then grabbed her neck with her five fingers!
Meng Ling struggled, but found that her strength was far inferior to Jin Shu's, and she had no power to fight back.
The anger in my heart burned brighter and brighter.
Jin Shu is quite cunning; she not only stole the spirit stones but also framed her!
Now that she's been exposed and caught red-handed, it's a good thing she's been cleared of suspicion.
"You stole the spirit stones!"
"So what? Now everyone knows it was you who did it, and it has nothing to do with me."
She was just a pitiful orphan girl who was deceived and bullied by her master.
Meng Ling blushed as she looked at Cang Lan.
"Master, now you believe me. I didn't steal anything. It was Jin Shu who did it! She did it all!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the hand on her neck tightened suddenly, and Meng Ling stared wide-eyed at Jin Shu.
