Fortunately, this time the barbarian girl did not try to resist, and Chen Yunxuan did not have to suppress her anymore.
"Who are you?" The barbarian girl asked about the identities of the three people, speaking Xia language that was barely understandable.
Hearing the question, the three of them introduced their identities and what happened today.
The barbarian girl then realized that the three men shared the same plight as her, so she told them how the White Tiger Barbarians were murdered by County Magistrate Lu.
"My name is Shaerya, and I'm the Saint of the White Tiger Barbarians..."
After hearing this, Lin Tongxi felt that the time was even more chaotic this time, and he had to sort out the order of events.
First, the officials surrounded and suppressed the county magistrate Lei and the bandits. However, after the incident, Lu Fengyu suddenly attacked Chen Yunxuan and almost took his life.
Then the White Tiger Barbarians appeared and tried to surround the two of them. Fortunately, Lin Tongxi reacted quickly and decisively threw out a smoke bomb and ran away.
But Lu Fengyu's lackeys were chasing them relentlessly, so in order to get rid of them, the two of them and two of their confidants had to hide in the house.
But Lu Fengyu was so cruel that he set fire to the village in order to hunt down the two men.
Two of his closest associates decided to sacrifice their lives, exchanged clothes with the two men, and pretended to be the two men and were burned to death.
The two of them will always remember the names of these two confidants: Hu Wei and Qin Xin. If these two confidants had not sacrificed their lives for justice, they would probably still not be able to rest in peace tonight.
After that, the two went up the mountain and found the dilapidated temple.
After witnessing her father being killed, Ah Xiu also fled to the mountains and rested in a dilapidated temple.
According to Sharya's description, after discovering the bodies of his two confidants, County Magistrate Lu joined forces with the army of the neighboring Bai'an County to wipe out the White Tiger Barbarians.
In order to protect Shaerya, his brother Shamonluo chose to stay behind to cover their retreat.
In order to protect Sharya and help her escape, other tribesmen risked their lives to fight their way out for her.
When talking about this matter, Shaerya gritted her teeth and wished she could cut Lu Fengyu and others into pieces.
"Miss Sha, our old friend has passed away. Please accept my condolences." Chen Yunxuan looked heavy-hearted after hearing this.
"Call me Sharya. I'm not used to being called 'girl'." Sharya looked at Chen Yunxuan, corrected the address, and then noticed the mark on Chen Yunxuan's hand.
"Why do you have this mark on your hand!" Shaurya was shocked.
The other two also looked at Chen Yunxuan's mark and found that the mark looked like a tiger.
"This is the unique mark of our White Tiger Barbarians—the White Tiger Divine Seal. Only those who have made outstanding contributions to the White Tiger Barbarians can be stamped with this mark."
"Lin Chenxuan, how on earth did you get it?"
Chen Yunxuan also remembered the tiger-shaped mark at this time. It was this mark that made the elders of the academy more convinced of the fact that he was colluding with the White Tiger Barbarians.
"It's a long story... When I was heading to Jinkang County, I was ambushed and injured by someone, and then this mark appeared on my arm." Chen Yunxuan explained what happened that day.
Sharya approached Chen Yunxuan's right arm and carefully examined the mark under the firelight. Finally, she came to a conclusion: "Yes, this is the mark of our tribe."
"Sharya, who in your tribe can make this kind of mark?" Lin Tongxi asked Sharya.
If we follow this mark, we might be able to find the real culprit who framed Chen Yunxuan!
"Only the priests of our tribe can create the White Tiger Seal. No one else can do it. Even I, a saint, am not qualified." Shalya explained.
"You two, Brother Tongxi and I have some private matters to discuss outside. Please wait a moment."
Lin Tongxi and Chen Yunxuan looked at each other, left the dilapidated temple, and talked in a low voice nearby.
"Brother Tongxi, I want to tell you about the Chengtian Academy. What do you think?"
"This is such a godsend opportunity. If you don't seize it, it will be difficult to prove your innocence in the future...but..." Lin Tongxi was in hesitation. If Chen Yunxuan was proven innocent and returned to Chengtian Academy, how would he continue his career of helping the troubled times?
As a system, he didn't want Chen Yunxuan to give up his existing career and go back to Chengtian Academy to practice.
But as a good friend, he couldn't bear to see Chen Yunxuan trapped in the academy's abandoned student for the rest of his life.
Lin Tongxi thought for a while and decided to support Chen Yunxuan in investigating the matter.
As he spoke, Chen Yunxuan also took into account Lin Tongxi's concerns: "Brother Tongxi, don't worry. After clearing the suspicion, I will continue to work with you to save the world and benefit the people."
"As a friend, I will support you no matter what choice you make. Just say whatever you want to say." Lin Tongxi patted Chen Yunxuan's shoulder to show encouragement.
The two returned to the ruined temple, and then Chen Yunxuan revealed his true identity.
"Shaerya, I was actually once a disciple of Chengtian Academy..."
