Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

Chapter 134 - Yuan Shuchun Clears Her Name

"That's quite far-fetched logic you have, Sect Leader Su." Yuan Shuchun's words rang throughout the Sect Meeting Hall as she entered along with the Grand Elder, Jun Xie and other elders whom Lai Chang had called as per the instructions of Grand ELder Li.

"Master!" Jun Xie cupped his hands towards Grand Elder Li as a greeting.

"Hmm," Grand Elder Li nodded his head and gestured to him with his hands.

"What do you mean my words are far-fetched?" Sect Leader Su frowned and said, "First of all, don't forget who I am. And secondly, Jiang Yun came from your League's Headquarters. Even if you prove yourself innocent, the initial blame and suspicion will be on you and your league. It is inevitable." He reprimanded her with a tinge of anger in his voice.

However, Yuan Shuchun in return had an expression of irritation on her face as she replied with a frown, "Sect Leader Su, please don't be childish. Just because someone is killed in front of my house, it doesn't mean I am the murderer."

Sect Leader Su was not having any of her answers, "Well, you will be under suspicion if the victim was your mortal enemy."

"Oh? What if I say, I was also almost killed at the same time?" Yuan Shuchun asked with her arms crossed.

Sect Leader Su was stunned when he heard her words, "What did you just say?"

"I said exactly what you heard, Sect LEader Su. Someone also tried to assassinate me when Jiang Yun was under attack."

"What!?" Both Sect Leader Su and Grand Elder were shocked to hear this. 

They turned towards Grand Elder Xuan and Jun Xie for confirmation, and took a deep breath seeing them nod their head.

"To think two of our best disciples were almost assassinated at the same time." Grand Elder Li said as he walked towards Yuan Shuchun, and with a confused frown, he asked, "How come you're surprisingly unscathed, while Jiang Yun here is half dead?"

Yuan Shuchun answered with a slight smile, "It's all because of your disciple Senior Brother Jun Xie. The assassin tried to put an illusion, however, unfortunately for him, Senior Brother Jun Xie was present at the scene and was able to see through the illusion and saved me from getting beheaded. Though it wasn't quite necessary."

Grand Elder Li once again turned towards Jun Xie for confirmation.

Meanwhile, Sect Leader Su asked Yuan Shuchun, "Why would you say it wasn't necessary? I don't think your talent lies in spirit sense. I am pretty sure you had no idea when did the illusion trapped you. Then why would you say it wasn't necessary when Jun Xie was the only one who could save you in that situation?"

"It was unnecessary because Senior Brother wasn't the only one who saw through the illusion, there were two other disciples."

"Oh?" Everyone was surprised when they heard her words, Grand Elder Li asked, "Which Core disciple was also present in the hall?"

"Not Core disciples, master." This time it was Jun Xie who spoke, "But there were actually two new inner core disciples who saw through the illusion."

"What!?" 

Loud exclamations echoed throughout the hall as everyone was stunned to hear his words.

"How is it possible for disciples who have not even reached the Qi Condensation Realm  to see through an illusion?" Grand Elder Li the most surprised of all.

"There can only be two reasons, either the two of them were lucky, which seems quit impossible or both of them are very talented in terms of Spirit Sense, and this condition is even more unbelievable." Yuan Shuchun replied to him.

"Why is the second condition unbelievable? The disciples are definitely very talented in terms of the spirit sense." Jun Xie argued back, having witnessed Ye Tian Yun's ability to always see through his illusion, he was sure that the disciple called Fang Chen was one of the rarest talents the sect could ever come across, and the fact that such a talent knew his identity, made him even more interested in Fang Chen, after all, this was the reason why he didn't reveal anything about Sword Intent.

Yuan Shuchun however had different thoughts as she asked him, "If they had such a good talent then why was it not seen in the Sect Entrance Exam, and how come they didn't see through your illusion, especially Fang Chen."

"Who!?" Sect Leader Su who was thinking about something else, suddenly looked up when he heard the two words which he didn't wish to hear in tonight's incident. His shout attracted everyone's attention. 

Yuan Shuchun pursed her lips, 'I said too much,' however, after a moment of thought, she continued with her eyes narrowed, "Fang Chen, the disciple who was ranked number in the Ninth Peak's Inner Court Entrance Hunt." n n

"Oh," Sect Leader Su replied with a calm expression. 

Yuan Shuchun was disappointed when she didn;t get the reaction she was ho[ping for. After all, Fang Chen was his son.

She pressed the matter, "What happened Sect Leader Su? Do you know him?"

"Know him?" Sect Leader Su replied with a smile, "Don't forget what his first name is."

And then with a cold smile, he said, "The Fang's are really daring to send their spawn to train in my sect."

Grand Elder Xuan, who was silent in the whole situation, was currently laughing at Sect Leader Su, 'I wonder what kind of expression he will have if he knows that Fang Chen is his own son?'

Yuan Shuchun also found this predicament funny and replied. "Yes, Sect Leader Su, they are pretty daring. Don't worry, I will take good care of this Fang Chen," By the time she had finished, on her face was the you-know-what-i-mean expression.

At this time, Peak Master Duan, who was also in the crowd of the elders spoke up, "There's not much time left.. Let's discuss such stuff after we find those assassins."
