[Brain Storage Counter]
Xing Feng, Qingxiao Sect.
Lin Fan was feeling dizzy and disoriented when suddenly his heart throbbed with pain, as if it were about to burst.
Then his eyes cleared, and he curiously looked around at his surroundings.
"Lin Fan, you are ruthless and vicious. You severely injured your fellow disciple and attempted to kill your junior brother, Long Aotian. Do you plead guilty?"
In the main hall of Xingfeng, Sect Leader Zhao Kuo stared sharply at Lin Fan, who was kneeling, and spoke in a very serious voice.
"Killed my junior brother Long Aotian? What's going on? It feels like I've been reborn and transmigrated again?"
Lin Fan looked around in confusion. This familiar yet unfamiliar scene was the one where Qingxiao Sect was framed by the protagonist of destiny, Long Aotian, and then, after arguing his case, he was punished with confinement and stripped of his status as the senior disciple of Youzhu Peak.
Later, Long Aotian stepped on him step by step, plotting to make him fall into demonhood, and he used his own demonic corpse to dominate the dilapidated world of Tianchen Continent!
As for why it's said he was reborn, that's right, just as the handsome Daniel Wu thought, he traveled through time twice.
This world is called the Tianchen Continent, and their sect is located in the northern region of the continent!
Qingxiao Peak has seven lineages, located on seven main peaks: Tianjian Peak, Xing Peak, Dan Peak, Xiangdao Peak, Qi Peak, Youyue Peak, and Youzhu Peak, which are the seven inner peaks.
The outer gate also has twenty-eight peaks, which are nestled among the mountains and ridges.
In his first life, he was the eldest disciple of Youzhu Peak in the Qingxiao Sect. He lived a peaceful life, respecting his master, caring for his junior sister, and setting a good example for his junior brothers.
But everything changed after the master took Long Aotian as his disciple. He became the chosen one of this world, and whatever he did was perfectly justified in front of his fellow disciples. Even without evidence, he could easily accuse others of crimes with just a few words.
No matter how hard he tried, he ultimately became a villain, and was eventually killed by the villain's scheme.
Until his last breath, he couldn't understand why this was the outcome, even with the evidence presented to them, the entire sect only believed Long Aotian.
Until he traveled to a world called Blue Star, where he received nine years of compulsory education, finished university, and was about to graduate and enter society to work like a beast of burden.
An accident occurred. While he was crossing the road, a dump truck went out of control and rushed towards him. In his dying moments, he awakened memories of his first life. The fusion of memories from three lifetimes left him somewhat confused.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have been bound to the Villain System. Please refuse to admit your mistakes, thwart the Chosen One's conspiracy, and save the world."
A cold, mechanical voice echoed in his mind, pulling him back from his reverie.
system?
framing?
What a ridiculous, melodramatic storyline for a female-oriented website! It just goes to show that this isn't Earth; you don't even need evidence to frame someone.
I've experienced over twenty years on Blue Star, and read all sorts of novels, including system novels and female-oriented novels.
If I had tried to reason with him as I did in my past life, not only would I have failed, but I would have died at the hands of Long Aotian. So how could I possibly follow the plot?
"Lin Fan, do you know your crime?" Zhao Kuo said coldly, seeing that Lin Fan was in a daze.
"Senior Brother, you should sincerely admit your mistake, and the Sect Leader will be lenient with you!"
Long Aotian's lackey stepped forward, his eyes full of provocation.
"Where is Master?" Lin Fan regretted asking as soon as the question left his mouth. He hadn't recovered from the fusion of memories from his three lifetimes.
His master should be searching for healing medicine for Long Aotian right now. In her heart, how could she possibly be better than her junior brother Long Aotian?
Thinking of his tragic death in his previous life, the pain of which was unbearable for ordinary people, he couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow. So he decided that he might as well live a life of hiding and do what he wanted to do.
"Master has important business to attend to and will not come. Don't think that Master will help you get away with the serious mistakes you have made," Ye Chen said coldly.
"Disciple confesses his sins!" Lin Fan knelt down. He might have made a mistake, but saving his life was the priority.
Having endured nine years of compulsory education, he has awakened and now understands the questions that he couldn't comprehend in his previous life.
Sects, cultivation, fellow disciples—to hell with them! If you don't need me, why bother fighting over me?
Now, he is more inclined to think like he did in his previous life on Earth.
"Host, please pay attention! Host, please pay attention! Please thwart the protagonist's conspiracy, or the world will collapse again!" the system kept reminding you.
"What do you mean by 'the world has collapsed again'?" Lin Fan asked.
"The previous ninety-nine hosts were unable to change the fate of the chosen one's world-destroying destiny. This is the last chance. If we fail, this world will be completely destroyed," the system replied.
Lin Fan rolled his eyes. Did you choose the chosen one or the villain? What can I do if he wants to destroy the world? Besides, he failed to bind with ninety-nine hosts. What makes you think you can win?
"Is the chosen one Long Aotian?" he asked. Although he had already guessed it based on his memories from his previous life, he still wanted to confirm it just to be on the safe side.
How long until the end of the world?
"One hundred years!"
Fortunately, I have enough to live a carefree life. As for the important task of stopping the Chosen One, I'll leave that to someone else.
As for the destruction of the world, he probably won't live to see that day, so it has nothing to do with him!
Everyone looked at him strangely. He admitted his mistake so easily? This wasn't like him.
"Do you know the consequences of seriously injuring a fellow disciple?" Zhao Kuo asked seriously.
Fighting among fellow disciples is a major taboo in any sect, and once a crime is proven, one will face extremely severe punishment.
"Of course I know. Your cultivation will be abolished, and you will be expelled from the sect," Lin Fan said calmly.
The sect leader and several elders exchanged glances, then coughed twice and said, "Since you..."
"Wait!"
Just as Zhao Kuo was about to make the announcement, a clear voice came from outside the hall. Lin Fan turned around and saw a girl in green carrying a white cat coming in from outside the hall.
This is her third junior sister, Su Youxue. Her face is as white as jade, her eyebrows as white as autumn frost, and her light green dress, combined with her tranquil temperament, makes her look like a naturally beautiful orchid, which is very endearing.
Since Long Aotian joined Zhuyou Peak, Su Youxue has had a relatively good impression of him and has always been biased towards him.
He remembered that in his previous life, when he was defending himself, his third junior sister was also by his side, and her words, each one a gem, seemed to reappear as if they were yesterday.
"Senior Brother, you have harmed your fellow disciples and are jealous of your junior brothers. How can you be the chief disciple of a peak? Your current excuses are even more disappointing. Confess your guilt. For the sake of our fellow disciples, I will ask Master to plead for you." Lin Fan composed himself and came back to his senses from his memories.
But he has already confessed, so why did she still call for a halt? Was she just going through the motions of the story?
"Nephew Su, what brings you here?" Zhao Kuo asked.
"Reporting to the Sect Leader, actually, Junior Brother Long was not injured by Senior Brother!" Su Youxue bowed and said.
Lin Fan: ? ? ?
Good heavens! Third Junior Sister actually spoke up for me! Something's not right with the plot.
Could it be that the system did this on purpose, fearing that it would lose its cultivation and be expelled from the sect, unable to stop Long Aotian, so it temporarily added a scene for the third junior sister, forcing itself to stay?
Zhao Kuo's face darkened. "Why did you come earlier or later? You only come after everyone has confessed their crimes. So, you people from Youzhu Peak are just playing us for fools!"
"Lin Fan has already confessed his guilt. Since he has confessed, he should naturally be dealt with according to the sect rules!"
"Huh?" Su Youxue exclaimed. Her senior brother had confessed. Shouldn't he have argued his case based on reason?
She looked at Lin Fan suspiciously, only to see him clear his throat and say, "This disciple has realized his mistake and will learn from it. I must not disgrace the sect. I beg the sect leader to abolish my Foundation Establishment cultivation and expel me from the sect."
"Senior Brother, you..." Su Youxue's big, dark eyes widened, her expression becoming somewhat unsettled. Did Senior Brother want to leave the sect? Why would he do this!
"Sect Leader, please let me explain!" Su Youxue knelt down and said, "On the day Long Aotian was injured, although Senior Brother was also in the Monster Valley, he did not have a chance to make a move."
"Third Senior Sister, don't listen to slander. I saw with my own eyes that Senior Brother injured Junior Brother Long," Ye Chen jumped out and said hurriedly.
Su Youxue glared at him angrily and said coldly, "You've framed the chief without any evidence and criticized the senior brother. What are your intentions? Is this your duty as a junior brother?"
Ye Chen felt a little flustered under her glare. He lowered his head unconsciously and said through gritted teeth, "As a disciple of Youzhu Peak, I have the duty to protect the sect. No matter who is going to harm the sect, I cannot stand idly by. Even if he is the chief senior brother, he cannot use his status to do evil and harm his fellow disciples."
"Junior Brother Long is seriously injured. Is this a lie? We beg the Sect Leader to uphold justice for us disciples."
"Sect Leader, it's impossible for Senior Brother to harm Long Aotian. I stayed by his side the day he was seriously injured, and he didn't have a chance to make a move," Su Youxue said solemnly.
Seeing her senior brother prostrate on the ground, not intending to exonerate himself, a look of sorrow appeared on her face. Only now did she understand how helpless her senior brother had been back then.
No matter how he explained, no one in the sect believed him. Her expression grew increasingly resolute; she absolutely could not allow what happened back then to happen again.
“Nephew Su, I know you have always respected your senior brother and regarded him as a brother and father, but you cannot cover it up.”
At this moment, the elder of criminal law said in a deep voice, "It is true that Long Aotian was injured. There are witnesses, and Long Aotian himself said that Lin Fan was the one who did it. It is impossible for the person involved to slander him."
"This disciple is telling the truth and did not cover up for Senior Brother." Su Youxue looked at Lin Fan anxiously and said, "Senior Brother, say something!"
Lin Fan was starting to lose confidence. Could it be that he had been reborn too many times and his memories were playing tricks on him? In his previous life, this hadn't happened, and he hadn't been with Su Youxue.
"Damn system, is this your doing?" he asked inwardly.
"Data error, data reconstruction, reconstruction failed, please explain, host." The system kept reminding us.
Very well, now you're playing dead, huh? This damn system definitely wants to keep you here so it can be used as a stepping stone for Long Aotian, slowly torturing you to death.
"Lin Fan, is what Su Youxue said true?" Zhao Kuo asked.
"Reporting to the sect leader, I did not see my third junior sister that day in the Demon Beast Valley. At that time, Long Aotian picked the Crimson Snow Lotus and became greedy. He directly used his sword... but his palm, to severely injure her," Lin Fan said.
This sect is full of Long Aotian's people. Whoever wants to stay can stay. Anyway, he's determined to leave. Even Jesus couldn't stop him. That's what Zhang Jiahui said.
“But Long Aotian was severely injured by a heavy club-type weapon,” the Elder of Criminal Law suddenly said.
"That's right. After I severely injured him with one palm strike, I then had murderous intent and attacked him again with the Red Flower Staff," Lin Fan said truthfully.
The sect leader's expression was strange as he said, "But there are no palm prints on his body."
"I used the Bone-Melting Palm technique. On the surface, I appeared unharmed, but in reality, my internal organs were almost shattered," Lin Fan continued.
I refuse to believe that he can't admit to this crime.
"I also found the teeth marks of a monster on his body," the sect leader added.
“A demonic wolf was passing by at the time, and the disciple captured it, intending to let the wolf eat him and destroy the evidence.”
Lin Fan thought about it and felt something was off. Why did Long Aotian have so many injuries? Never mind, the more injuries he had, the heavier the sentence would be. Whether he confessed to one crime or several, it was all the same. He might as well just make up the numbers.
Seeing her senior brother repeatedly confess his sins, Su Youxue turned pale and couldn't help but cry.
"Besides..." Zhao Kuo was about to speak further when the elder in charge of criminal law coughed twice and transmitted his voice:
"Senior brother, that's enough. Long Aotian only has fist injuries; he doesn't have any other wounds."
“I know, but it’s strange that he takes on everything. It’s like he can make up an excuse for anything I say.”
"What do you think, fellow disciples?" Zhao Kuo asked with a smile.
“We’re not that stupid. Both sides have their own version of events, and with Su Youxue as a witness, it’s hard to establish a crime. Why don’t we hand it over to Junior Sister Youzhu Leng to punish herself?” Peak Master Youyue said calmly.
"Alright, there is insufficient evidence regarding Long Aotian's injury, so he will not be convicted for now. He will return to Youzhu Peak, where Leng Xingyue will handle the matter herself."
Zhao Kuo announced the results. As the elders left, they looked at Lin Fan with strange expressions, wondering why he was thinking of leaving the sect.
"That's great, Senior Brother, you're alright." Su Youxue smiled through her tears. Just now, she was really afraid that the sect leader would punish her senior brother, abolish his cultivation, and expel him from the sect.
