Chapter 8: I didn't kill him, I think my disciple is kind and sensible

Sure enough, the next second Zhuang Shaohua confirmed his guess.

Zhuang Shaohua said, "Brother Wuyan, I asked you to come here today mainly to ask you why you let Xiao Jing go? Xiao Jing went out to practice and injured his fellow disciples, causing them to no longer be able to practice. His behavior was really despicable."

Ouyang Xu heard this and said angrily: "It's not just bad, it's obviously vicious. How can our Lingyun Sect keep such a vicious disciple?"

Shen Wuyan put on the mask of the Enlightened Immortal Lord as soon as he entered the Trial Hall, and nodded very gracefully, "Senior Brother Ouyang is right, he is indeed vicious. Our Lingyun Sect really cannot keep such a vicious disciple."

Ouyang Xu on the opposite side snorted complacently upon hearing the words, raised his chin, and looked like a winner.

Xiao Jing frowned when he heard this. He was in a dark prison when he was reborn, but he still remembered what happened that year.

Chen Dong relies on the support of Mingyang Immortal Venerable, also known as Ouyang Xu, and is usually arrogant and domineering. He wants to take anything good he sees for himself.

They were training together in a secret realm that day, and he had picked the thousand-year-old blood lotus after defeating the guarding monster with great difficulty. However, Chen Dong asked him to hand it over without saying a word, and he naturally refused.

Chen Dong and his minions besieged him, and he was so angry that he beat Chen Dong seriously.

Because of this, after returning to the sect, Shen Wuyan arrested him and put him in the dark cell without saying a word or asking any questions. He was beaten until he was only left with one breath. He was covered in wounds and it took him a whole winter to recover...

Thinking of this, Xiao Jing's eyes unconsciously became stern and gloomy again when he looked at Shen Wuyan.

As expected, Shen Wuyan is still the same Shen Wuyan. All the talk of seizing a body is a joke...

Shen Wuyan felt like a thorn in his back, but now was not the time to care about Xiao Jing. He had to deal with his second senior brother Ouyang Xu, who was at odds with him.

Shen Wuyan smiled and bowed to Ouyang Xu across from him and said, "Senior Brother Ouyang is so kind to sacrifice your own family for the sake of justice."

Without giving Ouyang Xu a chance to respond, Shen Wuyan turned to face Zhuang Shaohua who was sitting in the upper seat again, "Master, since Master Ouyang has also agreed, please make the decision to expel Chen Dong from the sect to set things right."

Zhuang Shaohua: “…”

Ouyang Xu: "..."

Gu Yunzheng: “…”

Xiao Jing, who was resentful of Shen Wuyan, said: "..." Shouldn't he be the one to be expelled from the sect?

Was Shen Wuyan wrong?

Xiao Jing is not the only one who thinks so.

Ouyang Xu raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother Wuyan, you are wrong. The one who should be expelled from the sect should be Xiao Jing."

Shen Wuyan smiled and said, "That's right, Senior Brother Ouyang. Chen Dong is so vicious that he deserves to be expelled from the sect."

Ouyang Xu realized that he had been fooled. He immediately stood up and pointed at Shen Wuyan, saying angrily, "Shen Wuyan, what do you mean? It should be your disciple who is the evil one. He was the one who beat Chen Dong without considering the interests of his fellow disciples, making Chen Dong unable to practice anymore. Shouldn't such a person be expelled from the sect? Or do you, as an elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, want to abuse your power and protect Xiao Jing?"

Ouyang Xu looked at Shen Wuyan provocatively. He brought up the elders of the Law Enforcement Hall and refused to believe that Shen Wuyan would not obediently expel the person from the sect.

"Hahaha..." Xiao Jing suddenly laughed out loud, and Ouyang Xu looked at him unhappily.

Xiao Jing raised his eyebrows sarcastically, "How could Shen Wuyan be partial to others and cheat? How could he protect me? Immortal Master Mingyang really doesn't understand our Immortal Master Wuyan at all."

Shen Wuyan nodded in agreement, "Xiao Jing is right, Senior Brother Ouyang is indeed overthinking. How could I protect Xiao Jing?"

Although Xiao Jing already knew the result, his heart sank involuntarily when he heard Shen Wuyan say this, and his hands clenched into fists unconsciously.

Ouyang Xu said aggressively: "Since you won't cover up, then you should abolish Xiao Jing's cultivation and expel Xiao Jing from the sect."

Gu Yunzheng might be really afraid that his master would do this, so he hurriedly grabbed Shen Wuyan's arm and interrupted to plead, "Master, Senior Brother didn't mean it. Please think twice."

Xiao Jing glanced at Gu Yunzheng in surprise. He didn't expect that Gu Yunzheng was so timid that he would actually speak up for him.

Shen Wuyan patted Gu Yunzheng's arm soothingly, then stood up and walked to the center of the courtroom.

He bowed to Zhuang Shaohua, who was in a higher position, and then turned to Ouyang Xu and bowed again, saying, "Brother Ouyang, I'm sorry."

The next second, Shen Wuyan appeared in front of Ouyang Xu without warning, grabbed his hand, and tried to take the storage ring on Ouyang Xu's finger, which contained countless treasures.

Ouyang Xu's expression froze, and he raised his palm to hit Shen Wuyan. Shen Wuyan dodged and tried to take Ouyang Xu's storage ring again. Ouyang Xu could no longer bear it, so he summoned his sword and started fighting with Shen Wuyan's.

In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged more than ten moves.

Zhuang Shaohua was afraid that the two men would destroy the hall, so he immediately cast a barrier.

Shen Wuyan didn't really want to fight Ouyang Xu, and he had just learned about spiritual power. He was not particularly familiar with his original body's skills and tricks, so he was a little flustered and struggling to deal with it.

Shen Wuyan was afraid of being exposed and being discovered, so he had no choice but to shout, "Master, save me."

But his every move was seen by Xiao Jing. Shen Wuyan's moves looked too harsh...

Zhuang Shaohua probably knew what Shen Wuyan meant by doing this, and in the blink of an eye he appeared between the two of them, stopping them from fighting any further, "Okay, stop making trouble."

Ouyang Xu was extremely angry, his eyes blazing with fire.

Shen Wuyan hid behind Zhuang Shaohua and poked his head out, asking, "Senior Brother Ouyang, are you angry if I steal your things?"

Ouyang Xu also figured out what Shen Wuyan meant by this fuss, but he was even more angry that he was fooled by Shen Wuyan again.

At this moment, he couldn't say whether he was angry or not. His face turned red with frustration and he became even angrier.

Shen Wuyan still had a smiling face, and Ouyang Xu's resentment towards Shen Wuyan increased countless times.

Shen Wuyan: "You are very angry, right? You want to kill me, right? So Chen Dong took away the opportunity that my disciple had worked so hard to get, so my disciple is naturally very angry and furious. Isn't it right to beat him? I didn't kill him because my disciple is kind and sensible. So what did my disciple do wrong? My disciple was not wrong at all. He was just defending himself to protect his personal property from being violated. Since my disciple was not wrong, he naturally doesn't need me, his master, to protect him."

Gu Yunzheng suddenly realized and breathed a sigh of relief, "So that's how it is. I just thought Master was going to... Fortunately, it's okay."

Xiao Jing was also very surprised. Did Shen Wuyan speak up for him? He said he was right, that he was just defending himself, that he was kind and sensible?

He had just pushed him off the flying sword not long ago... told him to die...

Shen Wuyan was so talkative that Ouyang Xu was confused. He couldn't find a way to say anything for a while, and Shen Wuyan would not give him a chance. He continued to block Ouyang Xu's retreat and said, "If Senior Brother Ouyang insists on saying that my disciple is wrong, then Senior Brother Ouyang, you were also wrong to hit me just now. You don't care about the relationship between fellow disciples at all. Senior Brother Ouyang, give me compensation and apologize."

Shen Wuyan's words not only confused Xiao Jing, but also made Ouyang Xu extremely uncomfortable. His chest rose and fell. He snorted and argued, "How can the opportunity be yours before you leave the training ground? Since it is a training ground, it belongs to those who are capable. Why can't you grab it?"

Shen Wuyan nodded sensibly, "OK."

Zhuang Shaohua turned his head with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "What K?"

Shen Wuyan: "..." He spoke quickly.

Shen Wuyan pretended to be dumbfounded and smiled: "Oh, oh, that's what I meant: since it's like what Senior Brother Ouyang said, those who are capable can get it. Then why don't you consider the interests of fellow disciples when my disciple wants to take it back? He Chen Dong can take it back, but why don't you allow my disciple to take it back? That doesn't make sense, right, Senior Brother Headmaster."

Zhuang Shaohua nodded thoughtfully, "Indeed."

This head brother is a peacemaker.

Ouyang Xu's expression became more and more unsightly, and he said angrily: "Even so, Xiao Jing shouldn't have been so harsh. Chen Dong is my disciple who I carefully cultivated. Do you know how much natural resources and treasures are needed to carefully cultivate a disciple? Not only are these natural resources and treasures wasted, but I also lost a potential disciple. Xiao Jing must pay the price."

"Everyone knows that my disciples are all free to learn. The cultivation gained by their own hard work is the most solid, and there is no need for any natural treasures. If Chen Dong used countless natural treasures and was still easily defeated by my free-standing disciples, then he is really not able to withstand a beating, and he is not a potential disciple. So Xiao Jing is helping Brother Ouyang, so that you don't have to work so hard and spend a lot of natural treasures only to find that you have cultivated a fool in the end."

"Puchi——" Gu Yunzheng really couldn't help laughing out loud.

Ouyang Xu looked at Gu Yunzheng with a gloomy face, and Gu Yunzheng immediately pursed his lips and held back his smile.

When no one was paying attention to him anymore, Gu Yunzheng turned to Xiao Jing and said, "Brother, it turns out that we all misunderstood our master. Our master confiscated the treasures we obtained from our training and never let us use them to cultivate. It turned out to be for our own good."

Xiao Jing: "..." Idiot...

Gu Shazi continued, "Also, I discovered that Master really loves you, Brother."

Xiao Jing frowned, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Gu Shazi said, "Really? You hear Master calling you his disciple all the time, and protecting you all the time. This is simply because he loves you."

Xiao Jing listened to Gu Shazi's words and looked at Shen Wuyan who was arguing with Ouyang Xu not far away. He really couldn't understand Shen Wuyan...

Could it be that Shen Wuyan was really abducted?

Ouyang Xu couldn't argue with Shen Wuyan, and he paced back and forth in anger. After walking a few laps, he seemed to have found a new excuse, and asked through gritted teeth: "Then what do you mean by arresting Chen Dong and taking him to the Execution Hall? His cultivation has been abolished, and you still let people torture him. Are you going to beat him to death?"

Shen Wuyan said innocently: "Chen Dong started the fight himself, and he should be responsible for all the consequences. But after returning to the sect, he didn't care about his fellow disciples, and narrow-mindedly slandered and defamed my disciple, twisted the facts, and made my disciple suffer an unjust accusation, suffered a great injustice, and was beaten for no reason. Doesn't Chen Dong have to pay a price? Senior Brother Ouyang knows to seek justice for his vicious disciple, so shouldn't I, as the master, seek justice for my poor disciple? Is there such a reason in the world?"

"You," Ouyang Xu pointed at Shen Wuyan angrily, warning him but also helpless, "You Shen Wuyan, are you going to let him go or not?"

Shen Wuyan smiled and replied: "After the fight, I will let it go naturally."

Gu Yunzheng whispered in Xiao Jing's ear: "Master is so kind to you, brother, but he actually had someone arrest Chen Dong and put him in the secret cell of the Law Enforcement Hall. When I heard the news before, I thought it was fake."

"Okay?" Xiao Jing lifted his sleeves, revealing his arms covered with whip marks.

Gu Yunzheng: “…”

"Uh..." Gu Yunzheng said hesitantly, "Master... maybe he wants to train your body to make it stronger and stronger?"

Xiao Jing: “…” I don’t want to say another word to this idiot.

Perhaps he understood what Xiao Jing meant, so Gu Yunzheng said, "Master's voice was hoarse before he came here, and then he argued for you, brother, and his voice became even hoarser. Isn't that for your own good?"

Shen Wuyan's voice must have become very hoarse, even uglier than the voice of a duck.

The Shen Wuyan in his memory was definitely not like this. Shen Wuyan would never let his reputation suffer for a wronged disciple, nor would he argue with the other party with a hoarse voice...

Xiao Jing's heart was in turmoil.

Shen Wuyan is the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall and has absolute right to speak. If he holds someone back and refuses to release him, Ouyang Xu cannot take him away by force.

Chen Dong was Ouyang Xu's nephew. Before he came, his sister gave him many instructions, almost kneeling down and kowtowing to him, asking him to bring the person back.

Ouyang Xu was extremely irritable. He didn't know what was wrong with Shen Wuyan. Today he was being particularly difficult to deal with. In the past, if he had questioned the other party about covering up for Xiao Jing or protecting his own shortcomings, Shen Wuyan would have immediately and severely punished Xiao Jing and would have respectfully let him go.

But today...did Shen Wuyan take the wrong medicine? He is so talkative.

Ouyang Xu had no choice but to compromise and asked, "What do you want me to release him?"

Shen Wuyan looked at Xiao Jing, "It depends on the victim, that is, my disciple's intention. If my disciple is willing to reconcile, then Second Brother, you can take some natural treasures, elixirs, and so on to heal my disciple. Look at his injuries. Without dozens or hundreds of natural treasures, it will take a while for him to recover."

Gu Yunzheng laughed secretly again and whispered: "Master seems so dark."

Xiao Jing was completely bewildered: "..."

Ouyang Xu was furious, "Shen Wuyan, you are crazy, right? Dozens or hundreds of natural treasures and elixirs? You can't even say that. You are clearly extorting money. Master, I will report Shen Wuyan."

Shen Wuyan said confidently: "My disciple is my treasure, my beloved, how can he be compared to your dozens or hundreds of natural treasures?"

Ouyang Xu: "..."

Zhuang Shaohua: “…”

Gu Yunzheng: "..."

Xiao Jing, the beloved child of the baby: "..."

Shen Wuyan continued to chatter: "Anything else, blackmail? Extortion? Bribery? Do you need it? Do I need it?"

The tone was as arrogant as it could be; after all, Shen Wuyan had the capital to be arrogant.

"Everyone knows that my disciples have always been the most filial. All the good things they get from their training outside are presented to me. My secret treasure house is full. Do you need to blackmail Brother Ouyang for just a few dozen or a hundred kinds of natural treasures? Who would believe it if I told them?"

Xiao Jing: "..." He didn't know how Shen Wuyan could be so shameless and shamelessly say that the treasures that were forcibly confiscated and handed over were a gift of filial piety...

Ouyang Xu clenched his fists in anger, wanting to rush up and hit Shen Wuyan, but Shen Wuyan hid behind Zhuang Shaohua with only his head exposed. Adding fuel to the fire: "Senior Brother Ouyang, you'd better make a decision quickly. The disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall are all carefully selected by me, and they are most impartial when enforcing the law."

If it could be visualized, Ouyang Xu's head would definitely be smoking at this moment.

In the end, Ouyang Xu reluctantly took out a lot of good things for Xiao Jing. Then the court released Chen Dong, but Chen Dong was almost dead...

At this moment, Shen Wuyan was pleased with the reputation his original body had established. The disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall were really skillful.

Ouyang Xu was so angry that he yelled: "Shen Wuyan!"
