Chapter 187: Doesn’t Your Face Hurt?
All the disciples of Taihua were very curious.
They had initially thought that Elder Qingxue acted impulsively against Qin Yushou just to prevent the heart demon from escaping, but now, it seems that was not the case.
Qin Yushou had persecuted Ye Xuan? When did this happen? Wasn’t Ye Xuan only recently accepted into the Taihua Sect?
And to kill Qin Yushou just over this matter, wasn’t that a bit too extreme? Shouldn’t he at least have been given a chance to explain himself?!
Qingxue then raised the Former Dust Mirror again, magnifying its light by hundreds of times, transforming it into a mystical light mirror. The mirror began to display images.
In Qingxue’s plan, she intended to use the Former Dust Mirror to reveal actions committed by Qin Yushou in the future.
However…
In the scene within the mirror, in a very gloomy cave, numerous men and women dressed in black were gathering, bowing to a man clad in bone armor.
And in front of this man in bone armor, a young man stood at the forefront of everyone, standing alone in a row. Looking at this young man, it appeared to be Qin Yushou?!
“Uh…” At this moment, even Yu Ling’er was somewhat confused.
Where is this?
Looking at these people’s attire, they were clearly members of the Evil Sky Sect. She never knew that Qin Yushou had any connections with these people of the Evil Sky Sect.
“These people are… the Evil Sky Sect–!!!” Seeing the people in black appear in the image, Hu Qianzao and Hu Lan both expressed shock.
“Oh? They are people from the Evil Sky Sect?”
The people of Taihua Sect quickly understood. It looks like Qin Yushou was originally from the Evil Sky Sect? If that’s the case, then Qingxue’s killing of Qin Yushou makes sense.
“…”
Seeing that his disciple was actually a member of the Evil Sky Sect, Elder Qingguang’s face turned sour.
Could it be that Qin Yushou was a spy sent by the Evil Sky Sect into Taihua Sect?!
He started to panic trying to figure out if he inadvertently revealed any important secrets of the Taihua Sect to Qin Yushou?
Just before, he was thinking that if Qingxue couldn’t provide a sufficient reason, he would not let things slide easily.
After all, Qin Yushou was his disciple, and Qingxue killed his disciple without a good explanation or allowing him a defense, which was incredibly disrespectful.
But now, a single short scene made him feel overwhelmed. At this moment, the people of Taihua Sect all cast suspicious glances towards the disciples of Qingguang Peak.
Because of Qingxue killing Qin Yushou, the disciples of Qingguang Peak naturally had grievances against Qingxue.
To show solidarity, some of them even pretended to hate Qingxue. But now, facing everyone’s suspicious looks, they also panicked, quickly acting as if they were not familiar with Qin Yushou.
Nobody wanted to be suspected of colluding with a spy from the Evil Sky Sect.
“Yuer, listen well, from childhood to adulthood, I never taught you any cultivation methods, just to let you successfully infiltrate the Taihua Sect. This mission is of great importance.”
“After entering Taihua Sect, do not fail your father’s expectations. Stay hidden at all times and report the movements of Taihua Sect back to me–!” The man in bone armor said to the kneeling Qin Yushou in front of him.
“Yes, father, your son will not let you down.” Qin Yushou lifted the corners of his lips, speaking confidently.
“Good.” The bone-armored man spoke, “When your mission is accomplished, it will be time for your father to flatten the righteous sects–!”
Watching the scene unfold in the mirror, Qingxue couldn’t help but feel puzzled. She had only intended to let everyone know why she had killed Qin Yushou, but instead, she stumbled upon an unexpected discovery.
Was Qin Yushou really a spy sent by the Evil Sky Sect into Taihua Sect?
She was about to take another look at what he will do next. However, the image stopped there, showing nothing more.
“Uh…” Watching the image stop, Qingxue couldn’t help but feel speechless.
She said to everyone, “It seems that the Former Dust Mirror can only connect to so much of the past… However, clearly, this is already enough to confirm Qin Yushou’s death sentence, isn’t it?”
Saying this, she looked towards Elder Qingguang and continued to ask, “Or perhaps… Elder Qingguang, do you have any objections?”
“Ah no… I have no objections, how could I possibly have any objections.” Elder Qingguang quickly shook his head.
His own disciple turned out to be a traitor from the Evil Sky Sect infiltrating the Taihua Sect, and now he only hoped that he hadn’t inadvertently revealed any secrets…
Although he was just a teaching elder without any real power, who knows if he might have leaked any secrets at some point?
Even if it was an unintentional mistake, if it led to serious consequences, he would not escape punishment.
“In any case, to avoid suspicion, all disciples of Qingguang Peak, and those in Taihua who were close to Yushou, must be investigated.” At this moment, Qin Zhenren spoke up from the side.
“This matter is serious, all disciples being investigated must cooperate fully. Do you all understand?”
“Yes, we understand,” the elders and disciples of Taihua quickly responded.
Then, the disciples of Qingguang Peak couldn’t help but look a bit upset. Qin Yushou turned out to be a spy?
With a spy emerging from Qingguang Peak, their reputation was also tarnished. However, no one knew that at this time, Ye Xuan was secretly amazed.
He had simply assigned Qin Yushou the role of a spy on a whim, just to let everyone know he deserved his fate. But unexpectedly, the story in the script had Qin Yushou directly becoming the son of the Evil Sky Sect Master?
Was this script serious? Well, anyway, it’s good that this guy is dead…
Ye Xuan did not want to bring out the script of him being persecuted by Qin Yushou for everyone to appreciate again as there was no need.
Qin Yushou being a spy caused quite a stir in Taihua Sect and these events, as far as Ye Xuan was concerned, were no longer his business.
He left the Taihua Grand Hall with Hu Qianzao, introducing her to Taihua Sect, a place he himself was not very familiar with. And Hu Lan, to ensure Hu Qianzao’s safety, naturally followed along.
Seeing Ye Xuan and Hu Qianzao leave together, talking and laughing, very close, Elder Qingyan sternly faced Yu Ling’er and asked, “Ling’er, how has your relationship with Ye Xuan been over the last hundred years in this vast cave heaven? It seems he is not very attentive to you.”
If it had been earlier, he would have preferred Ye Xuan to stay away from Yu Ling’er. But now, knowing how powerful Ye Xuan was, he wished Ye Xuan only had his daughter by his side.
Hearing her father’s inquiry, Yu Ling’er responded with silence, “Dad, which eye of yours saw Ye Xuan being inattentive to me? There’s no one in this world who likes me more than he does.”
“Uh…” Hearing Yu Ling’er’s words, not only Elder Qingyan, but also some Taihua elders eavesdropping on the gossip felt quite speechless.
There are plenty of devoted men in the world, how did you conclude that this fickle man is the most fond of you? Admittedly, Ye Xuan is impressive, but he’s also quite the playboy.
Not only does he have ties with the master of the Jade Fox Palace, but he also has a romantic involvement with Yu Ling’er. They felt that Ye Xuan and his master, Elder Qingxue, also seemed to be exchanging glances.
“Cough…” Hearing Yu Ling’er’s retort, Elder Qingyan coughed lightly before continuing, “Father is just concerned about your relationship with Ye Xuan, my dear.”
“The young man is quite decent, and I would be very satisfied to have him as a son-in-law.”
Hearing Elder Qingyan’s words, Yu Ling’er showed a look of disdain, “Dad… don’t your cheeks hurt when you say that? Weren’t you the one who disliked him before?”
“…”
Elder Qingyan gave his daughter a sheepish look. This daughter of his, now that she has a sweetheart, no longer cares about her father and defends her sweetheart at every turn.
