Chapter 90 090 She chose to lie through her teeth.
Everyone shared the same thought, but no one dared to speak it out as recklessly as Shen Zhiwei.
They also felt that Shen Zhiwei was being too impulsive. The Rong and Xie families had been colluding for years, and things were complicated behind the scenes. While Shen Zhiwei had gained recognition by taking advantage of the conflict between Xie Qingyu and Rong Yuejun, they couldn't be too radical.
But Shen Zhiwei didn't notice that Xie Qingyu's eyes trembled slightly when she suddenly said that! Then Xie Qingyu quickly looked up at Rong Yuejun, her expression showing a hint of shock and surprise.
Xie Qingyu really didn't know!
Shen Zhiwei had already made a judgment, feeling that Xie Qingyu was unaware of this matter.
The Ling Shan Sect didn't show much involvement from the Xie family, and Rong Yuejun was secretly in control. In fact, Rong Yuejun could have easily supported Elder Su Yun to take over, or chosen a sect entirely controlled by the Rong family.
Rong Yuejun was being so careful in avoiding the situation because she also had some ulterior motives.
The Rong and Xie families are outwardly friendly but inwardly at odds, and Shen Zhiwei suspects that Rong Yuejun has not shared any information with them.
Rong Yuejun, she wants to possess the Greedy Wolf Sword for herself!
Rong Yuejun's heart was also filled with shock and turmoil. She never expected that this matter would be exposed to Xie Qingyu so suddenly.
She was power-hungry and was once captivated by the power of the Greedy Wolf.
Back then, Xie Qingyu and I had already ascended to the realm of immortals, yet even when we joined forces, we were no match for him. If it weren't for that mysterious third person, we probably wouldn't have been able to severely injure Tanlang.
The opponent's fierce and valiant demeanor was also deeply imprinted in Rong Yuejun's mind, making it unforgettable for her.
As a result, when she traveled to the third heaven that year, she suddenly discovered the Greedy Wolf Sword.
The sword's aura had faded, yet Rong Yuejun regarded it as a priceless treasure.
Although the sword refused to recognize a master, Rong Yuejun carefully nurtured it, hoping that one day she could master it.
She was determined to surpass Xie Qingyu in this lifetime, so this sword suited her wishes.
Xie Qingyu, he is cunning and full of schemes—
She seems all tender and affectionate, but when it comes to me, it's all a calculated scheme!
She wanted Xie Qingyu to kneel before her, to submit to her wholeheartedly, and to completely obey her.
Isn't that how couples are in this world? It's always one way or the other.
So she didn't mention a word of this to Xie Qingyu.
Now Xie Qingyu was looking at her, and she was looking at Xie Qingyu. Xie Qingyu's eyes were full of suspicion, while her eyes were full of anger.
Neither of them spoke.
They remained silent, so Shen Zhiwei stepped in to liven things up: "Since no one objects, why don't we go and search for it?"
Her words were shameless and showed a complete lack of tact.
Although no one spoke, the atmosphere at the moment suggested that no one objected.
Elder Suyun, who was accused by Siyu, panicked the first. She had been following Rong Yuejun's lead and had kept quiet, but now she was provoked by Shen Zhiwei's shameless words and immediately retorted: "Jianzhi is talking nonsense. Sect Leader Shen used to love causing trouble in the second heaven and making trouble out of nothing. I heard that he has been on good terms with Fairy Siyu for a long time. It's nothing but a conspiracy."
He added, "Siyu is a disciple of our sect, and she is proud and arrogant. She has always felt that the sect leader has not valued her enough, so she holds a deep grudge. With this old grudge, it is no wonder that she is talking nonsense, and we must not listen to her side of the story!"
Su Yun, an elder of the Lingshan Sect, pondered deeply.
As soon as she finished speaking, Fairy Siyu shouted, "I have evidence!"
She said firmly, "That day I encountered that vicious cultivator, and I was also attacked by him. However, he seemed to no longer be in the realm of immortals. Therefore, I fled in haste to save my life, but I still have a wound on my shoulder!"
At this point, Fairy Siyu suddenly tore open her clothes, revealing her shoulder, where a sword mark was indeed visible. The mark was as black as ink, and carried the lingering curse.
Previously, when Tanlang appeared in Yuanyuan Heaven, some people were injured, and their wounds looked like this.
Despite Si Yu's generous demeanor, he was actually quite apprehensive inside.
It's unclear whether the sword wound created by Sect Leader Shen is convincing enough to fool anyone. That day, Shen Zhiwei saw Tanlang appear and found a similar cursed sword to use in the same way.
Knowing that Si Yu was worried, Shen Zhiwei would surely comfort her.
Regarding the question of authenticity, Si Yu can rest assured that this is a genuine sword wound, not a fake.
Even the cursed sword he used was indeed the same one that the Greedy Wolf Puppet used in Yuan Yuan Tian.
This injury is so real it couldn't be more so! Unless someone is blatantly lying, it's impossible to tell it's fake.
As expected, Rong Yuejun was also slightly taken aback, feeling that what Si Yu said might not be entirely false. Perhaps Tanlang also wanted to find his old sword, which was why he had been lurking around the Lingshan Sect.
However, Rong Yuejun refused to admit it. She chose to lie through her teeth: "It's ridiculous and laughable that they think a mere sword wound is enough to slander the sect and then take the opportunity to retaliate and ruin their reputation."
Although Rong Yuejun did not admit it, these protective actions were already a clear indication that she was the backer of the Lingshan Sect.
The Ling family's Immortal Realm was pieced together by the two of them, so it wasn't considered hard currency, and the Ling family usually kept a low profile. Rong Yuejun simply took its place, which was quite domineering.
Even if some things are true, so what if she did them?
It's just about extracting spiritual energy to nourish a sword. Dozens of lives have been lost. Is it really possible to cause a major war between the four realms over a mere few dozen lives?
Rong Yuejun was well aware of the arbitrariness that comes with power.
Would Xie Qingyu dare to break ties with him?
Rong Yuejun thought this coldly, and was also certain that Xie Qingyu would not dare to do so.
Even if Xie Qingyu didn't want the Rong family to be allies, did she really want the Xie and Rong families to go to war?
Even if Xie Qingyu really wanted to start a war, based on Rong Yuejun's understanding of Xie Qingyu's character, he was hesitant and preferred to plan carefully before acting; he would never make a move so easily.
She was unaware that Xie Qingyu was cunning and ruthless, but also overly calculating.
But Rong Yuejun clearly miscalculated. The next moment, Xie Qingyu suddenly drew her sword!
It has been many years since anyone has seen Xie Qingyu's sword light.
Even Rong Yuejun's brows furrowed in surprise.
Everything depends on Shen Zhiwei's plan.
Rong Yuejun thought Xie Qingyu would tolerate it, but she was wrong. The situation was different today, not only because of the instigation of Shen Zhiwei, that unparalleled troublemaker, but also because of that extremely delicate situation.
Mu Wuxian remained secluded for many days, and even when Tanlang appeared, he showed no reaction, leading Xie Qingyu to boldly speculate that his dream had come true.
Just as Shen Zhiwei analyzed before, the harmony between Rong and Xie was entirely due to Mu Wuxian.
Xie Qingyu appears to be affectionate but is actually heartless, precisely because he is good at scheming and plans three steps ahead for every one step he takes.
He couldn't be certain that Mu Wuxian was truly in trouble, but what if there was a possibility? If the Ling family was no longer a threat, then who could be his biggest threat?
Of course, it's Rong Yuejun, who is also in the realm of immortals.
He absolutely cannot allow Rong Yuejun to truly tame the Greedy Wolf Sword and increase her strength to surpass him!
What appears to be a dramatic and messy conflict, a tale of love and hate, is merely a facade. Beneath the surface, Xie Qingyu is remarkably stable, driven by nothing more than self-interest from beginning to end.
Rong Yuejun, of course, failed to perceive the subtleties of human nature, and was slapped in the face right here.
