Chapter 444: The Aggressive Little Icy (1)

“Haha, well said. Truly well said.” At this moment, the little old man appeared out of nowhere and clapped his hands in praise. In fact, he had been here for a while, but he didn’t appear because he wanted to see how his foolish disciple would deal with this fellow. But this result…! Clearly, he wasn’t satisfied.

“Master.” Zheng En bowed respectfully and then lowered his head, not daring to look at the little old man.

“Raise your head,” the little old man rebuked with a displeased face. He was a little disappointed that his disciple didn’t live up to his expectations. He knew that his disciple didn’t want to cause trouble for them, but how could he be someone who was afraid of trouble? Moreover, what he couldn’t tolerate was someone bullying his disciple!

“Master!” Zheng En looked up at the little old man with tears in his eyes.

The little old man cleared his throat and said loudly, “Zheng En! If you are my disciple, tell me what happened back then and let everyone here judge. I believe everyone’s eyes are clear on who is right and who is wrong.”

“Yes, Master!” Zheng En hesitated but still answered. Although this matter was a little difficult for him to say, he knew that he really couldn’t hide what had happened back then at this moment.

The little old man stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction.?This is more like my disciple!

“Fifteen years ago, when I was still an Alchemist, Sun Wei and I participated in an alchemy competition held by the Alchemist Association Headquarters. In this competition, Sun Wei and I were the best among all the participants, so we became friends and appreciated each other.

“In fact, this was just my wishful thinking. Sun Wei didn’t treat me as a friend at all. He approached me for another purpose.

“He approached me to obtain my trust, and then he tampered with my pill furnace. That time, he obtained first place in the competition. Afterward, he was accepted as a disciple by the president of the headquarters. He was at his best and still regarded me as his confidant. At the time, I was very touched and would say almost anything to him. But something happened not long after. Someone said that a pill I concocted killed someone. I didn’t know the whole story at all, so I was directly convicted and expelled from the Alchemist Association.

“Later on, by chance, I got to know that it was all Sun Wei’s doing in the dark. He deliberately framed me so that I couldn’t be an alchemist. Moreover, the cause of all of this was envy! He was envious of my talent and wanted to become a disciple of the headquarters’s president. He had always treated me as his greatest competitor, so he wanted to destroy me! He wanted me to be deserted and despised by everyone. In the following years, Sun Wei kept sending people to hunt me down!” Zheng En explained while suppressing his hatred.

After everyone present heard Zheng En’s words, there was a moment of silence. They were not clear about the authenticity of the matter back then, but everyone believed that at least 50% of Zheng En’s words were trustworthy because such things did happen on the Boundless Heaven Continent.

“Don’t listen to his nonsense. He’s just quibbling. What I said is true!” Sun Wei hurriedly said after seeing everyone’s doubtful gazes.

Leng Ruoxue looked at Sun Wei and said with a slight mockery, “What’s the rush? Are you feeling guilty? Everyone knows what’s right and wrong. Not just anyone can change it with a few words.”

“I…” Sun Wei was at a loss for words…

“Everyone, I believe you are all intelligent people. This matter is from a long time ago, so you won’t know the truth of the matter. Even I am not very clear about it. Although Zheng En is my subordinate, please believe me. If it’s really Zheng En’s fault, I will definitely not protect him. But if what happened back then is really as Zheng En said, then I won’t let anyone who dares to bully my subordinate go. Therefore, I hope everyone can give us some time to investigate the truth of the matter back then. This way, we will not wrong a good person, nor will we let the bad person continue to be carefree,” Leng Ruoxue said to all the onlookers.?Hmph! Sun Wei isn’t the only one who knows how to use the power of public opinion. I also know how to.

The surrounding citizens felt that Leng Ruoxue’s words were reasonable and nodded one after another, expressing their support for her to investigate the truth back then. In fact, what happened back then had nothing to do with them at all. But everyone was gossipy, so they were also very curious about the truth of the matter back then. It wouldn’t be a loss for them if they knew!

“Everyone, for the sake of fairness, I hope you won’t discuss this matter anymore. I will naturally give everyone an explanation for it,” Leng Ruoxue said again after seeing that she had achieved the effect she wanted. She didn’t want these people to point at Zheng En and gossip when they saw him in the future.

“Okay, okay.” The people nodded and left.

At this moment, Leng Qingtian and the others emerged from the darkness.

“Haha, Lass, you’re the best,” Old Zao said with a smile. They had been thinking of a way to help Zheng En without making him feel awkward. He didn’t expect the girl to solve the problem with a few words.

Leng Ruoxue glanced at Sun Wei and then said to Leng Qingtian and the others, “Let’s go back to our room!”

“Okay.” Everyone nodded and walked toward the room collectively.

“Stop! Stop right there!” Sun Wei shouted from behind them, but no one bothered with him!

Leng Ruoxue deliberately put on a stern face after entering the room. She glared at Zheng En and said with slight displeasure, “Zheng En, isn’t he just the disciple of the Alchemist Association Headquarters’ president? Why are you afraid of him!”

“That’s right! Brat Zheng, your performance just now was very embarrassing for us! What do we usually teach you?” Old Zao also reprimanded very unhappily. If the waiter in the inn hadn’t told them that something had happened to Zheng En, they would have still been kept in the dark!

“I…” Zheng En was speechless.

“Alright, don’t make things difficult for my disciple. He’s just too kind and is afraid of implicating us. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be bullied by others.” The little old man helped his disciple out of the predicament.
