Do You Know Your Crime?
A brief silence fell over the secret chamber. Apart from the Wu family grandfather and grandson and Yue Qianchou, Bi Zicong and the others were completely confused, not knowing what kind of riddle they were talking about. Yue Qianchou's mind, however, was racing. Even the Wu family knew his secrets, so with the capabilities of Fu Xian Island, it was naturally impossible to hide them from them either.
He sneered and said, "That's Liu Changqing asking for death. How dare he extend his claws to my family in the mortal world? Do you think I would let him go if I didn't kill him? What's meant to be will be. I hope Qingguang Sect will know better and not provoke me again. If you anger me, hmph! I'll make sure Qingguang Sect is wiped out from the Cultivation World."
A chill ran through them as their words sent a shiver down their spines. Bi Zicong, Bi Zicong Tan Fei, and Jing Zuo exchanged bewildered glances. The Qingguang Sect Master, Liu Changqing, had actually been killed by him! They sighed inwardly, their concern for the Qingguang Sect Yue Qianchou stronger than their worry for Yue Qianchou. They reasoned that since even their leader had been killed, the Qingguang Sect would certainly not let Yue Qianchou. But the things hidden behind this guy were truly unfathomable! Could the Qingguang Sect possibly defeat him?
"I'll have my Wu family send a few people to escort you to the Hundred Flower Palace!" Wu Sihai said, frowning. He was worried that if something happened to Yue Qianchou, his Four Great Families' trip to the Demon Ghost Domain would be ruined.
Yue Qianchou waved his hand and said, "No need. The Qingguang Sect can't do anything to me, otherwise I wouldn't need to stay in the Cultivation World."
Seeing his stubbornness, the others said nothing more and left the secret room. Just as they reached the entrance of the main hall, a member of the Wu family rushed over to report, "Master, Dongfang Changao of Fu Xian Island wants us to pass on a message to Yue Qianchou, a disciple of Fu Xian Island, instructing him to return to the Fu Xian Island shop on Hat Island immediately."
"Understood!" Wu Sihai waved his hand, and the disciple withdrew. Confirming that Yue Qianchou wanted to return immediately, he cast a Method Formula on the guards on a nearby tower, allowing Wu Licheng and the other three to lead Yue Qianchou directly away on their swords.
As soon as the five arrived at the Fu Xian Island shop on Hat Island, Wan Yuan was waiting at the entrance and immediately led them to the back of the shop. Dongfang Changao stood with his hands behind his back in the courtyard, flanked by two other elders who had come with him. Yue Qianchou quickly bowed to the three, and Bi Zicong and the other three bowed in turn, saying, "Bi Zicong, Tan Fei, Jing Zuo, Wu Licheng from the four Four Great Families greet the three seniors." The elders on either side patted the four on the shoulder, indicating that there was no need for further formalities.
At this moment, Dongfang Changao turned around and looked at Yue Qianchou, saying in a deep voice, "Yue Qianchou, why do you bring trouble wherever you go? As soon as you arrived at Hundred Flower Valley, you beat up the grandson of the Qingguang Sect Master, and as soon as you arrived at Hat Island, you beat up the son of the Daluo Sect Master. Do you think you haven't caused enough trouble for Fu Xian Island?"
"Elder Dongfang, I was actually forced into this situation. These two people really deserved to be beaten. They attacked first both times. I was just defending myself. Otherwise, if I had been beaten by them, wouldn't it have been a disgrace to our Fu Xian Island?" Yue Qianchou said with some grievance.
Bi Zicong and his three companions were somewhat taken aback. This was no longer the arrogant Yue Qianchou they knew! Wan Yuan remained silent to the side. The other two elders exchanged glances, a slight smile playing on their lips. They were actually quite satisfied with Yue Qianchou's behavior. Lately, the entire Cultivation World had been buzzing with news of how the disciples of Fu Xian Island had managed to beat up so-and-so from this sect leader, and so-and-so from that sect leader—good heavens! They were truly bringing honor to Fu Xian Island.
"Hmph! I won't go into the past. Tell me honestly, have you gotten into trouble again?" Dongfang Changao asked, staring at him.
Yue Qianchou scratched his head and said, "No! I've been staying at the Wu family all this time. Apart from beating up that guy named Luo Xiaohan last time, I haven't done anything else lately!"
"Then why did the Old Ancestor Qing Nu of the Qingguang Sect personally come to Fu Xian Island to find you, causing the sect leader to personally send a message to bring you back to Fu Xian Island immediately?" Dongfang Changao shouted.
Something's happened! Bi Zicong and the other three exchanged glances furtively. Yue Qianchou, however, was taken aback and said, "The Old Ancestor Qing Nu of the Qingguang Sect? I don't know him. What does he want with me?" He thought to himself, "I've never heard of this person in the Qingguang Sect."
"Should I ask you or should you ask me?" Dongfang Changao shouted again.
Yue Qianchou face, "Elder Dongfang, I'm innocent! I've been inseparable from the heirs of the Four Great Families these past few days, and I haven't done anything! You can ask them if you don't believe me!"
Bi Zicong and the other three nodded to each other, and then clasped their hands in unison, saying, "Senior Dongfang, we four can testify on behalf of Brother Yue that he really hasn't done anything out of line these past few days."
The successors of the Four Great Families still carry some weight. Dongfang Zhang Ao glanced at the group, stood silently for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "Come back to Fu Xian Island with me first. We can discuss anything there."
An elder nearby released a flying magical Law Artifact, shaped like a small boat. Under the watchful eyes of the others, Yue Qianchou obediently jumped onto it. After Dongfang Changao and two others boarded, the small boat transformed into a streak of light and flew away, leaving behind several people in the courtyard to pay their respects and say goodbye.
Riding the wind and breaking through the clouds, soaring across the sky. Yue Qianchou sat alone at the very end, wondering how to explain things when he returned. That Old Ancestor Qing Nu from the Qingguang Sect had found Fu Xian Island. Needless to say, Liu Changqing's affair had been exposed. Alas! It seems that the search for Yan Zhuixing will have to be postponed.
Upon returning to Fu Xian Island, the small boat landed directly in front of the Penglai Pavilion. The group disembarked, and Dongfang Changao led him upstairs, while the other two did not follow. They were not taken to the sect leader's room, but rather to a large room on Fu Xian Island specifically for receiving guests.
Upon entering, Yue Qianchou immediately sensed something was amiss in the atmosphere and sensed something was wrong. After Dongfang Changao reported back to the sect leader, he also bowed to everyone. When he stepped aside, the room was filled with familiar faces, including his master Guan Wei Wu and Fei Denan. The two of them looked at him with strange expressions. Only one unfamiliar figure stood beside the sect leader Feng Xiangtian, a tall, white-haired old man in a green robe, scrutinizing him. This must be the so-called Old Ancestor Qing Nu of the Qingguang Sect.
Feng Xiangtian frowned and said, "Yue Qianchou, do you know your crime?"
"Disciple knows his sins!" Yue Qianchou hurriedly bowed and said, causing everyone in the room to be stunned. Then they heard him say, "Disciple should not have caused trouble outside and brought trouble to the sect. I beg the sect leader to give disciple another chance. Disciple will definitely repent and correct his mistakes."
"So, you really killed Liu Changqing, the Qingguang Sect Master?" Feng Xiangtian asked in a deep voice. Dongfang Changao was standing to the side, was immediately taken aback. He suspected that Yue Qianchou had gotten into trouble again, but he never expected that he would kill the Qingguang Sect Master. Was that possible?
"Ah! I killed the Qingguang Sect Master?" Yue Qianchou stood there stunned for a long time before finally speaking, "Sect Leader, did I hear that right? You said I killed the Qingguang Sect Leader?"
"Isn't that right?" Feng Xiangtian snorted. "The matter has been thoroughly investigated. Do you still want to deny it?"
"Sect Leader, you must be mistaken. How could I possibly kill the Sect Leader of the Qingguang Sect!" Yue Qianchou argued.
