Chapter 725: One who stays near ink gets stained black.
Mu Jingshen raised his eyes and quietly met the gaze of the Sword Demon Elder, saying each word clearly: "Sword Demon Elder, this disciple only feels that Ye Fei is not as cruel and cold-blooded as other demons. She is no different from other humans."
Upon hearing this, Elder Sword Demon exerted force on the armrest of his seat, instantly crushing the hard stone armrest!
"Mu Jingshen, you have disappointed me greatly!" Elder Sword Demon stood up and glared at the young man: "Ye Fei is the captain of your team. Just because you are close to her, you will side with her no matter what cruel or ruthless things she might do?!"
"She's a demon! Demon blood flows in her veins! Mu Jingshen, think carefully about who killed your parents and why you joined the Ten Thousand Swords Sect!"
"You're actually speaking up for a demon! How can you face your parents? How can you face the fellow disciples who have been killed by demons over the years?!"
Mu Jingshen gritted his teeth, a struggle flashing quickly in his dark eyes: "These things... this disciple has never forgotten!"
"But Elder Sword Demon, I can guarantee that Ye Fei has never done anything immoral or immoral to the academy or anyone around her."
The Sword Demon Elder sneered: "Guarantee? What guarantee do you have? Just because you've known each other for a few months and participated in a few training sessions together?"
"Furthermore, she would definitely have killed him behind all of your backs! You've all been deceived by her!"
Mu Jingshen's pupils contracted. Had he been deceived?
Is that really the case?
Lin Zhan listened silently to Mu Jingshen and the Sword Demon Elder's conversation, and couldn't help but recall Ye Fei, whom he had met at the Spirit Master Exchange Conference.
The little girl was dressed in a clean, plain robe. Her bright eyes held a hint of mischief, and she was neither arrogant nor impatient. In every way, she was quite different from those inherently cruel demons.
However, what is most unacceptable is that the boy beside her, who goes by the alias "Li", is actually the ruler of the Demon Realm, the Demon Lord Li Yuan!
Although the three-year war was not caused by Li Yuan, it was his former follower, Jing Ji, who started the war.
What difference is there between something made of thorns and something made of the abyss?
Lin Zhan sighed inwardly.
Perhaps, for the sake of Ye Fei's reputation, he could choose to make an exception and investigate the truth for her.
But Li Yuan is the only one they cannot tolerate.
The Sword Venerable Elder gazed calmly at Mu Jingshen. After a long while, he spoke, "Jingshen, tell your master, what is the first rule of the Myriad Swords Sect?"
Mu Jingshen answered without hesitation: "The first rule of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is: evil shall be punished!"
"You're unwilling to kill Ye Fei because you don't see her as evil, is that right?"
"Yes!" Mu Jingshen said emphatically, "This disciple does not believe Li Yuan, but this disciple is willing to believe Ye Fei."
The Sword Elder continued, "But Ye Fei, whom you trust so much, has an extraordinary relationship with Demon Lord Li Yuan. How can you guarantee that Ye Fei won't be corrupted by bad company?"
Mu Jingshen gritted his teeth.
The Sword Demon Elder couldn't stand it any longer and angrily said to the Sword Venerable Elder, "Boss! Your precious disciple has obviously been interfered with by the demons!"
Can you bear to watch your beloved disciple, whom you personally nurtured, be implicated by the demons and bear their infamy? Can you bear to see the prestigious reputation of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect destroyed in an instant?!
Elder Sword Master raised his hand to Elder Sword Demon, signaling him to calm down.
Then, he looked at the kneeling boy and said, "From this day forward, Mu Jingshen, a disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, is forbidden from leaving the sect, refuses all visits, and is to reflect on his mistakes in the Absolute Cold Pool. When he can emerge from the Absolute Cold Pool—that will be decided by me, his master!"
