Chapter 3143: Self-inflicted Ruin
three people before me are the complete opposite—light. Others may be able to feign appearances, but one's aura is something that cannot be faked.The blonde woman snarled, "Don't play dumb with me. R..."I... I, Elder, to be honest with you, those things were accidentally lost by me."
Chu Xiao mumbled and stammered for a long time, finally coming up with such a lame excuse. He couldn't think of a second reason, so he could only say that the thing was lost by himself.
As soon as he finished speaking, the room erupted in laughter. Clearly, even the onlookers didn't believe him.
Mu Yan shook his head, obviously very dissatisfied with his performance.
Regardless, you are Feiyan's savior. Since you're unwilling to take it out, then let's do this.
Give me back that piece of thunderstone. The rest can be your payment.
"Lei Ji Shi..."
If Chu Xiao had it, even if it meant giving up something precious to himself, he would definitely hand it over. The key problem is that he doesn't have it at all.
Seeing that he still refused to return it, Mu Yan was truly angry this time.
"This is my bottom line, don't push it too far!"
Then he looked at Daojie beside him, "When did the disciples of your Liuguang Jianzong become so greedy"
Dao Jie witnessed everything firsthand, seeing Chu Xiao refuse to return the betrothal gift despite being asked repeatedly. His face was extremely unsightly.
"What are you still standing there for Hurry up and return the things to them."
Chu Xiao made a bitter face, almost bursting into tears: "I really didn't..."
Dao Jie let out a cold snort, his aura erupting suddenly: "Do you think all of us are fools"
Faced with the powerful Enforcement Hall Master, Chu Xiao trembled with fear.
He regretted it now, wishing he had been clear from the start. He should have said that saving Mu Feiyin wasn't his intention at all.
By now, not to mention one million low-grade fairy crystals, even ten million wouldn't make him continue.
Chu Xiao gritted his teeth and said, "Master Hall Leader, to be honest with you, I've been in seclusion within the sect this whole time and haven't gone out at all. "
It wasn't me who saved Miss Mu Feiyanyan, I don't even know what happened..."
At this moment, he dared not hide anything. He told the truth, but after speaking, he found that all around him were mocking glances.
Even Mu Yan was like this, looking at him with eyes as if he were an idiot.
“Elder, Hall Master, please believe me, I'm telling the truth...”
"Enough!"
Before Chu Xiao could finish his words, Mu Yan let out a sharp shout, "My granddaughter personally identified you as the one who saved her that day, and you were also the one who accepted her gifts."
You yourself admitted that during your seclusion, you secretly went to the Shenxian Mire. Everything was done by me.
The facts are clear and the evidence is irrefutable. Now that you don't want to return the betrothal gift, you claim it wasn't you Do you take me for a fool
After he finished speaking, the people around him nodded in agreement. They all shared the same view.
No one doubted that there might be other things in it, Mu Feiyan couldn't have mistaken someone, and Chu Xiao also agreed readily.
Just now, he was spitting fire and making grand speeches, happily accepting three million lower-grade immortal crystals as a reward.
As soon as it was mentioned about returning the betrothal gift, they immediately changed their tune and denied it. No one would believe it if anyone else did this.
Looking at the scene before him, Ye Bufan's expression was solemn, but his heart was filled with joy. This is what it means to bring disaster upon oneself.
"I..."
At this moment, Chu Xiao truly understood what it meant to be unable to defend oneself with a hundred mouths. However, no matter what, he couldn't admit it, because the key was that he simply couldn't produce the Lei Ji Stone.
“Elder, please listen to me, I truly haven't been to the Immortal Killing Swamp. This must just be a coincidence...”
Before he could finish his words, a roar of anger echoed from afar.
"Chu Xiao thief, return my grandson's life to me!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, two figures dashed toward them from afar. Their speed was astonishing, and they were instantly before the crowd.
Two white-haired elders arrived, one tall and thin with a face full of anger. It was Yan Ruhai, the Great Elder of the Qisha Sect.
The Qisha Sect was merely a second-rate sect from the Qingwei Heaven. His arrival didn't attract much attention. However, the other tall old man standing beside him was Deng Xuan, the Grand Elder of the Zhengyang Sect.
The Zhengyang Sect is one of the four major sects in Qingwei Heaven. The Grand Elder's status is very high, equal to that of Hu Bingyu from the Liuguang Sword Sect. His arrival naturally attracted the attention of countless people.
Daojie put Chu Xiao aside for the moment and stepped forward to say, "Two Elders, welcome to our Liu Guang Sword Sect."
Yannu's face was ashen, her voice laced with displeasure: "Welcome is unnecessary. Today, LiuGuang Jian Zong must give my Qi Sha Zong an explanation."
Dao Jie frowned slightly, but the Qisha Sect was backed by the Zhengyang Sect, so he had to give them some face.
"I wonder what Elder Yan wants to say"
Others were also extremely curious, wondering what had happened that caused both elders to come to the door demanding answers.
Ye Bufan's lips curled into a smile, as if he had already guessed something.
In his heart, he secretly sighed with the sentiment of cause and effect retribution, it seemed that today Chu Xiao was hard to escape a calamity.
Yanu did not speak, but reached out and pulled out a white stone.
This thing is called a recording stone. It can record images and transmit them over long distances, but it's much rarer than a sound transmission jade. Ordinary people can't afford it at all.
He raised his hand, and instantly an image appeared before everyone.
In the picture, a young man despairingly shouts: "Grandpa, it was Chu Xiao from the Liuguang Sword Sect who killed me! You must avenge me!"
The image was very short, but after watching it, everyone's expressions changed.
It's no wonder the other party's face is so ugly, things are getting worse and worse, now even a life has been lost.
Although killing is as easy as breathing in the fairy realm, it depends on who you're killing.
The current young people are obviously not ordinary, and some have even recognized them as the grandson of Yan Ruhai.
Daojie's face darkened as he asked, "Elder Yan, what is going on here"
"What's going on My grandson went to the Yuxian Swamp to train a few days ago, he was doing well until he died at the hands of Chu Xiao from your Liu Guang Jian Zong."
Yan Ruhai's voice rose in intensity as he continued, "Although our Qisha Sect is only a second-rate sect, we are no match for your Liuguang Jianzong. "
"But my grandson is not someone anyone can just kill! Today, you must give me an explanation!"
"Deng Xuan merely smiled faintly: "Brother Yan, don't worry. The Liu Guang Jian Sect is a well-respected and righteous sect, one of the four great sects in Qing Wei Tian. It will definitely give you a fair explanation."
His attitude was very mild, but it was clear to everyone that the two were playing good cop and bad cop, together putting pressure on the Liuguang Jianzong.
Chu Xiao stood beside, just letting out a breath of relief, but seeing the scene before him fell into a dazed state again.
What's going on That person, he's never even met him before, when did he kill him
He felt like he was dreaming, biting his tongue hard. The sharp pain told him this was all real.
Hearing that it was Chu Xiao who had caused trouble again, Dao Jie turned his head and looked over, his expression solemn.
"What on earth is going on Can you explain it to us"
As the head of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Liuguang Sword Sect, he was naturally not a timid person.
If the fault lies with the other party, then kill them if you must. He would never make things difficult for his sect's disciples, but the most urgent task was to explain things clearly to them.
The problem is that Chu Xiao has never even seen Yan Qing's face, so he doesn't know what happened at all, how could he explain
"Master, I don't know what's going on. I've never been to the Abyss of Lost Immortals, and I've never even seen that person, let alone killed him." young man really dare to come and steal a bride""Wouldn't you rather just bury your head in the sand and pretend you don't know anything"Others might, but he wouldn't.Donghua Xianwang revealed a cold...
