Chapter 36 – Blackened Reputation 2
Shen Qingqiu narrowed his eyes and said, “As for what Cang Qiong Mountain Sect Qing Jing Peak successor’s characterto conclusions based on a mere rumor?”
The old palace master said, “If it were just rumor and hearsay, then naturally ouldn’t have believed it so easily It’s just that these words were spread precisely from people of your respectable sect” He surveyed his surroundings and continued, “Everyone here knows and would agree that it is coood relations with one another It is also inevitable for soossip and slander to spread It’s only thishow he beat and har described as “a noble and unble this, Shen Qingqiu was incredulous
Har his disciples?
That was indeed the truth When Luo Binghe was growing up, Shen Qingqiu would abuse hi hione days could be written into a tragedy novel of its own As for the rest of the disciples ere outstanding enough to be picked on, treated harshly, or evicted by Shen Qingqiu… they were so nuymnastics team Only, the perpetrator of this cruel treatyuan said solemnly, “Since you know they were just rumor and hearsay, then how can you not know there’s no benefit in dwelling on the subject? Ader sect brother does not habitually pa the line”
Suddenly, a tender voice spoke up Qin Wanyue could no longer resist the need to speak up for her crush: “Ifa teenage youth to fight against a demonic sect elder with hundreds of years of experience and ar with poisoned spikes—could this not be counted as persecution and abuse?”
This tiqiu could not continue to stand by like a quiet wallflower
Neither spiteful nor mild, he said, “Whether it is or not, I don’t know But what I do know is, if a master pushed their disciple out of the way of the poisoned spike armor and blocked it with his own body, this probably can’t be counted as persecution What do you think, Luo Binghe?”
Hearing this name, the faces of many cultivators present flickered in astonish Mountain sect So his face, such as Qi Qingqi, and were now shocked by the reveal As for those group leaders who had only just arrived at Jinlan City and been brought to their knees upon he… they had already weathered the hail and storm and were now, in fact, calqiu frequently punished Luo Binghe, Yue Qingyuan had also seen Luo Binghe a few tihe’s youth Later, when Shen Qingqiu started putting Luo Binghe to good use, he would often be absent fro it even harder to lihe’s face in the crystal h the mirror’s nized that this handso youth beside Huan Hua Palace’s Palace Master was, in fact, Shen Qingqiu’s “dearest disciple” froyuan had heard that the Palace Master thought highly of his yi Xiao this entire ti this, he was also stunned
Aaze fixed Shen Qingqiu tilted his head, spread open his folding fan, and unexpectedly had the ih, the small curl of his lips probably would have been seen as a taunt or provocation
To say he wasn’t angry at all was bullsht Shen Qingqiu admittedly often worried about his own s when it cahe, he was acting on his own instinct …Although Luo Binghe probably didn’t need any help from others to solve the crisis No , the person who had suffered the o so far as to use even this matter to slander hiqiu
Luo Binghe said slowly, “shi+zun placed his life on the line to protect qi incredulously said, “It’s really you? Shen Qingqiu, didn’t you say he died?” She looked at Luo Binghe again “Since you’re alive, why didn’t you return to Qing Jing Peak? Don’t you know, for your sake, your shi+zun was distracted…”
Shen Qingqiu burst into a fit of dry coughing, distracting enough that Qi Qingqi had no choice but to stop and glare at hiqiu wanted to bow to her He had a premonition that her next words would be “distracted like he lost his soul” He never wanted to hear those ed words again! A sudden rush of goosebuh so hard his perfect onist face would crack!
The old palace master persisted on the subject “That’s precisely the point that puzzles people the most He clearly didn’t die, so why insist he’s dead? And why is it that he clearly could return, but isn’t willing to?”
Shen Qingqiu was thoroughly annoyed by his insinuating tone “If he isn’t willing to return, then I can’t do anything about it He comes peacefully, he leaves freely, however it pleases hi, please say it straight”
The old palace hed “What I want to say, Peak Lord Shen, you are already well aware Those here with clear minds will also understand These sower de behind the scenes—so fuel to the fire—they should not be spared No matter what, all of Jinlan City is owed an explanation”
With just that, he succeeded in igniting the enmity of the Jinlan City survivors at the scene They had just suffered through a big disaster; with theirfor a target to take their anger out on Quite a few people responded with hooting and jeering
Luo Binghe said, “shi+zun abhors evil When it coht and rejoice afterward How could he collude with theqiu of wrongdoing, except, of those present, only he could understand the hidden ht and rejoice afterward”
Now that the cat was out of the bag, Shen Qingqiu ht now are you a disciple of Qing Jing Peak or a member of Huan Hua Palace?”
The old palace master sneered “After all this, Peak Lord Shen, you’re willing to recognize this disciple of yours again?”
Shen Qingqiu said, “I never evicted hi nized as my disciple”
His words were said purely to annoy Luo Binghe’s psyche; however, it seeqiu didn’t know if it was his ihe’s eyes appeared to clear
In aopposite one another, distinctly separated It was as if sparks collided, e an aura of hostility—swords drawn, bows bent As for the sower deotten to one side No one cared to deal with him
Suddenly, a coquettish female voice asked, “Shen Jiu? …Are you Shen Jiu?”
As soon as he heard this naqiu’s unperturbed countenance was almost cracked into the Great African rift valley
To hell with it all!
Is it heaven’s intention to kill me today?!
It’s over It’s this woinal work, Qiu Haitang’s appearance signified only one thing: Shen Qingqiu’s co was no longer a young girl in the spring of her life, her face was as fair as a eously with makeup Her body was slim, her bosom ample—her appearance was truly extraordinary And because her appearance was extraordinary, she naturally could not escape the fate of becohe’s harem
The probleqiu
Congratulations! To be involved in auous relationshi+ps with tives of a stallion novel protagonist, the original Shen Qingqiu was truly one of a kind!
At least from all the stallion novels Shen Yuan had read, he couldn’t find a second such character!
But thinking back, this revelationthat sparked the second wave of the readers’ coqiu’s ‘fa!”
Shen Qingqiu’s heart broke into a barrage of endless “… ” in response to this perilous situation Qiu Haitang drew her sword and leveled it horizontally before her chest with an attitude of: if all co you a question! Why do you not dare to look atsister, how can I dare look at you? You’re co’s expression was full of sorrow “I was saying it was no wonder—no wonder I searched for so ain It turns out—turns out you had long reached a higher place in life and beca Peak Lord Ha ha, how iqiu truly didn’t knohere to look or what to say Consequently, he gazed steadily forward and did his best to school his expression into detached apathy
The crohispering aqiu, this young lady and you… are truly old acquaintances?”
Shen Qingqiu’s tears watered the fields of his heart shi+xiong… don’t ask…
On that side, Qiu Haitang spoke again in a distressed tone: “Old acquaintances? Not only e acquaintances, I and this sanctimonious man were childhood sweethearts… I’he’s broitched wildly
No!
You’re obviously Luo Binghe’s wife! Hurry and wake up!
Shang Qinghua exclaimed, “Huh? Is this true? How co qiu pulled at the corner of his lips and gave him a fake smile: Could you please not add fuel to the fire?
This melodramatic and hated part that painted hiain? And so the show!
And these bystanders, aren’t they cultivators? How coet out get out get out!
Qiu Haitang gave a bitter s scoundrel Naturally, he doesn’t dare to uilty conscience”
Great Master Wu Chen had interacted with the three people of Cang Qiong sect for a period of tis towards the latter During Cang Qiong Mountain sect’s dispute with Huan Hua Palace, he didn’t have the opportunity to interject This time, he opened his mouth and said, “mi-to-fo (merciful Buddha), whatever words this lady benefactor has to say, she should say them properly and clearly Blind denounceqiu’s heart strea this for ood, but I’ll actually suffer if she speaks her words clearly This truly is the saying “not frightened of doing a shahost (consequences) will co became the focus of everyone’s attention She was so excited that her face flushed She puffed out her chest and shouted, “If there is half a phrase of a lie in the folloords I, Qiu Haitang, will say… then let me be pierced by ten-thousand of the demons’ poisoned arrows and die a horrible death!” She pointed straight at Shen Qingqiu, fla Qiong Mountain Peak Lord Shen Qingqiu, the famous and reputed Xiu Ya sword But no one knohat kind of thing he used to be!”
Her words were rather offensive; Qi Qingqi’s elegant brows furrowed “Watch your words!”
Qiu Haitang right noas the hall master of some miscellaneous se and influential Cang Qiong Mountain Sect, she subconsciously retreated a step But the old palace ry Why not let this young lady finish speaking? You can’t block a person’s ritted her teeth The hatred in her eyes concealed the fear Her voice rose again: “When he elve, he was nothing n human trafficker Because he was the ninth (Jiu), he was called little Jiu My parents, seeing he was mistreated by the slave-dealer, really pitied hinize words and study, gave hi until he was full and ithout any concerns My brothers looked after him like a part of the family When he was fifteen, my parents passed away and my elder brother became chief of the household He removed the slave title from him and considered hireith hi as far as to truly think… we complemented each other (ere each other’s sunshi+ne) … and as a result, set up an engageht there, forced to listen to “his own” black history along with several thousand other people The countless unspoken words in his heart were coed into tearful silence
