Chapter 1082 - Shi Qian Zhi framed again
“This isn’t a poison exclusive to him. It’s just one that he created.” Sima You Yue said, “The Mystical Dragon sect won’t dare to deal with the various sects so openly right now.”
“You’re not from his sect, how can you be so sure?”
“Because…” Sima You Yue thought of Sky Splitter Devil Sword and didn’t continue, “In any case, I know that this isn’t them.”
Since Sky Splitter was in the Mystical Dragon sect right now, they wouldn’t dare cause too much of a ruckus. This was because the demonic nature of the devil sword had yet to recover. If someone were to notice them right now, more people would find out about the existence of sky splitter.
They would never take this risk!
Kong Xiang Yi still believed Sima You Yue’s words. Since she said that it wasn’t Shi Qian Zhi, it probably wasn’t him.
“Hearing that you have so much faith in me is really touching.” A portal opened through space as Shi Qian Zhi and Shi Qiu Shuang walked out from the portal. They looked gratefully at her.
“Save it.” Sima You Yue rolled her eyes at him, “Qiu Shuang, you’ve grown quite a bit!”
Shi Qiu Shuang’s originally icy demeanor warmed up considerably when she saw Sima You Yue and there was even a trace of a smile hidden in those eyes.
“I began to grow after the poison left me.” Shi Qiu Shuang said, “I really never thought that there would be a day that I would be able to grow. I had long since tired of looking like a child!”
“Take it slow.” Sima You Yue said, “Most people won’t grow anymore at your age. However, your situation is a little more special. Your body has kept its memories of the past, that’s why you will slowly grow up back to how it was like in the past.”
“Mmm hmm.” Shi Qiu Shuang knew that she would grow, so she had never been too worried.
“Is this poison really one that you created?” Kong Xiang Yi looked at Shi Qian Zhi and asked.
“It’s true, I did.” Shi Qian Zhi admitted to it.
“Are these your men?”
“No.’ Shi Qian Zhi denied it, “We came here precisely because of this.”
“What about it?”
“We realised that some people were using the poison we created to act against the people here in the Immortal Land. That’s why we came to investigate.” Shi Qian Zhi explained.
Sima You Yue raised her eyebrows, “Did you offend a lot of people in the past? Why is it that whenever someone wants to frame someone, you’re always the first one they think of? Are you able to guess who it might be?”
It was the same back in Cloud Sea City and it was the same right now. Those people must definitely have a huge grudge with Shi Qian Zhi, that’s why they would want to frame him. Why don’t we go look for others?
Shi Qian Zhi shrugged. He wasn’t worried at all, saying, “I have quite a few enemies. Let me think. I can tell you a whole bunch of them.”
“However there can’t be too many of those who understand your poisons and are able to obtain them, right?” Sima You yue guessed.
“Cough cough, there are quite a few of them too.” Shi Qian Zhi said.
“Then doesn’t that mean we can’t guess who it is?” Kong Xiang Yi asked.
“It’s not like we don’t have any leads, but we can’t be sure either. That’s why I can’t really tell you.” Shi Qian Zhi said, “Even if we told you, you wouldn’t know who they are.”
“After you figure it out, let Kong Valley know.” Kong Xian Yi leaned into Ximen Feng’s embrace, closing her eyes wearily.
“Valley Leader, we’ve already settled those people.” Bi Sheng walked over and informed them.
“We’ll leave the corpses to you. We have to set up camp somewhere.” Sima You Yue said.
Flowey carried Kong Xiang Qi and left, and the remaining disciples followed them and departed this area. Only a few tens of people remained to take care of the Kong Valley’s fallen disciples.
After setting up camp, Ximen Feng took Kong Xiang Yi into his own tent and placed her on his bed.
“Feng, Aqua is gone.” Kong Xiang Yi only now relaxed and let her tears fall, revealing her weak side only to Ximen Feng.
Ximen Feng stretched a hand forwards and wiped her tears away, saying, “Relax, we will definitely find out who has caused this and take revenge for Aqua’s sake.”
He knew the relationship Aqua had with Kong Xiang Yi. Now that she was dead, he could feel how troubled she was. However, he was also a little glad. It was a good thing that she was just an average contracted beast, and not one that had formed a life contract with her. Otherwise, he would not have been able to bear the consequences.
Kong Xiang Yi’s tears still fell nonstop and his heart ached as he watched. He had no idea what to do, and instinctively kissed the corner of her eyes to wipe her tears away.
“…”
Kong Xiang Yi was so shocked that she momentarily forgot to breathe.
This was the first time that he had kissed her!
“Good girl, don’t cry anymore.” Ximen Feng’s face was a sheet of red, but he could think of no other way to stop her tears.
“Hehe, oh my~” Little Seven’s voice carried in from outside the tent and her voice grew increasingly distant, sending the two in the tent into a furious blush.
Outside the tent, Sima You Yue was pinching Little Seven’s ears as she led her away from Ximen Feng’s tent.
“Ah, Yue Yue, Yue Yue, it hurts!” Little Seven patted Sima You Yue’s hands and cried out in pain.
Sima You Yue was pinching LIttle Seven’s ears with another hand around Little Roar’s neck. It was only when they were far away from the tent that she released Little Seven and lifted Little Roar in front of her.
“The both of you actually learnt to eavesdrop?! Little Roar, did I not tell you before that Little Seven is pure and that you are not to teach her the wrong things? You actually dared to lead her to do these kinds of things?!”
Little Roar shrunk his neck back and shamelessly said, “Why do you say that I was the one to initiate it and not the other way around?”
“Am I not familiar with your personality? Apart from you, who would do this kind of things?” Sima You Yue stretched a hand forward to poke him in the forehead.
“Well, we didn’t intend to eavesdrop at first!” Little Roar’s limbs curled in as he looked helpless, “We were just thinking that Xiang Yi’s contracted beast died and she was suffering the recoil of the contract and ended up heavily injured, so we wanted to visit her and comfort her and cheer her up a little. Who would have thought that we would end up seeing that kind of scene, right, Little Seven?”
“Mmm hmm, it’s true, it’s true.” Little Seven nodded nonstop, as if that were really the truth.
Sima You Yue casually tossed Little Roar aside and said, “Don’t think that I don’t know how the both of you think. The next time you take Little Seven and do something like that, I’ll count your new and old grudges together!”
Little Roar flipped two rounds in the air before stopping and smiled gleefully, “I won’t, I won’t. There won’t be a next time!”
Phew-
Speaking this way meant that Yue Yue had forgiven them this time. He just knew that she wouldn’t believe them.
However, it was still okay. This time, Little Seven did it together with him, so she didn’t punish him. Otherwise, based on her usual practice…
Hehe, a new idea birthed itself. In the future, he would always have to bring Little Seven along with him!
“I hope not.” Sima You Yue glared at him before she noticed that Shi Qiu Shuang and Shi Qian Zhi were looking at her. They probably had something they wanted to tell her, so she walked towards them after nagging them once more.
