I Won't Take the Blame for This

South Qiu Town is located sixty li south of Qiu Yang City. It is a necessary small town for anyone traveling to Qiu Yang City from the south.

Only three days had passed since the great disaster in Qiu Yang City. The taverns and tea stalls in the small town were still discussing the terrible catastrophe that had occurred in Qiu Yang City.

"Tragic, too tragic! So many people died!"

"That Leng Qianye was originally the Vice Sect Leader of the Sun Moon Radiance Sect. For some unknown reason, he went mad! Not only did he kill the Sect Leader of the Sun Moon Radiance Sect, Leng Qingqiu, but he actually became a True Person Realm expert and even killed City Lord Lan! Afterward, he went on a rampage, slaughtering people throughout the city!"

"If it weren't for Yellow Sky Sun Daoren's intervention, the consequences... would have been unimaginable!"

In a restaurant, the leader of a merchant caravan who had come from Qiu Yang City brought the latest news from Qiu Yang City to the people in the restaurant.

"Indeed, truly deranged!"

"Alas... I haven't heard from my relatives in Qiu Yang City."

"Lucky! Truly lucky! It's a good thing I didn't go to Qiu Yang City a few days ago."

The others in the restaurant whispered and discussed. Shi Feizhe and Fan Jianqiang were also sitting there, listening to the news from the Jianghu.

"Have you all heard that there's a mastermind behind all of this!" the merchant caravan leader said again.

"What? There's a mastermind!"

"Who is manipulating all of this from behind the scenes? Could it be some demon?"

The merchant caravan leader sighed and said, "It is said that after Sun Daoren killed Leng Qianye with three strikes, he rescued the Teaching Elder, Elder Hua, from the dungeon of the Sun Moon Radiance Sect."

"Elder Hua was tortured until he had only one breath left. According to him, a demon tampered with their Sun Moon Radiance Sect's Sun Moon United Heart Art."

"And forced their Sect Leader and Vice Sect Leader to cultivate it, secretly instructing the two Sect Leaders to have the entire sect, hundreds of disciples, cultivate it."

"Ultimately, this led to the people in the sect going mad and killing each other. He was only thrown into the dungeon and subjected to torture because he didn't cultivate the tampered Sun Moon United Heart Art, as instructed by that demon!"

"That demon is devoid of humanity and takes pleasure in watching their sect members kill each other!"

"Especially that demon, who loves to disguise himself as a young man who has just entered the Jianghu and sneak into other people's sects!"

"This old demon is named, Shi Feizhe!"

"Pfft..." Fan Jianqiang couldn't hold back his laughter when he heard the merchant caravan leader say this, and he spat out a mouthful of tea. Even as a person who enjoys a good laugh, he found it absolutely hilarious.

Shi Feizhe, on the other hand, had a poker face, listening to people pinning the blame on him.

This was the third version he had heard today.

The content of the versions was largely the same, all saying that a demon who deeply understood human nature had come to Qiu Yang City. He observed in Qiu Yang City for a long time, starting with the Sun Moon Radiance Sect, using the Sun Moon Radiance Sect as a leverage point to throw the entire Qiu Yang City into chaos!

Although the content was similar, there was only one demon, and that was him, Shi Feizhe.

Who the hell is pinning the blame on me!

I'm not taking this blame!

What does the chaos in Qiu Yang City have to do with me!

I didn't do anything!

Shi Feizhe roared frantically in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak.

He was afraid that if he opened his mouth and said, I, Shi Feizhe, am not that kind of person, he would be eliminated by those who uphold justice and hacked to death by random swords!

I never thought that one day, I would even need to think before announcing my name.

I'm really having a hard time!

"Brother Shi, although this version has some discrepancies, it should be the closest to the truth!" Fan Jianqiang transmitted his voice to Shi Feizhe.

With his personality of enjoying a good laugh, seeing the people in the tavern eagerly discussing the events in Qiu Yang City, he didn't dare to call out Shi Feizhe's name at this time.

Shi Feizhe's face darkened, and he glanced at Fan Jianqiang!

What discrepancies, it's completely nonsensical!

What old demon tampered with the cultivation technique, that was clearly the Sun Moon United Heart Art provided by the Sun Moon Radiance Sect themselves!

What old demon caused chaos throughout the entire sect and took pleasure in watching the sect members kill each other? I was clearly just diligently practicing martial arts in the Courtyard! If I was watching the excitement, it was Fan Jianqiang who dragged me there!

I just wanted to increase my Jianghu knowledge and pick up some trash!

Is that wrong too?

As for what old demon disguised himself as a young man who had just entered the Jianghu, that's even more ridiculous, I was originally a young man who had just entered the Jianghu!

Although my soul is that of an old wage slave!

That Elder Hua has such a malicious heart. I've only met him twice, and he's already slandering me like this! He's really not a good person!

"Alas! The Jianghu is treacherous, and it's hard to defend oneself!" Shi Feizhe thought for a moment, then could only sigh and say this.

Fan Jianqiang rolled his eyes at Shi Feizhe. What treacherous Jianghu, you are much more treacherous than the Jianghu.

So many people died in Qiu Yang City, and you, Shi Feizhe, are at least thirty percent responsible! The remaining thirty percent is the Sun Moon Radiance Sect, and forty percent is Leng Qianye!

However, he also understood that from Shi Feizhe's perspective, he was just honestly practicing martial arts in the sect, and as a result...

"Brother Shi! I suggest you change your name in the future!" Fan Jianqiang said mockingly.

"It's really hard to not change my name or surname!" Shi Feizhe said with a dark face.

What else could I be called besides Shi Feizhe?

Should I be called Shi Lezhi?

Should I be called Dead Fat Otaku?

"Brother Fan has been in the Jianghu for many years, do you know where in the Jianghu there are places that sell secret manuals?" Shi Feizhe asked.

"Lots! For example, Three Talents Town," Fan Jianqiang blurted out.

"Three Talents Town, I've been there. They don't have what I want."

"Then a thousand miles to the west, there's the Kongtong Mountain Market. Ten thousand miles to the south, there's the South Sea Book Market. To the southwest in Yu Province, there's Luoyang City, which has a book market," Fan Jianqiang said casually.

"Which one is the closest?" Shi Feizhe asked again.

"Naturally, it's the Kongtong Mountain Market."

"Oh! I plan to go there. Is Brother Fan going too?" Shi Feizhe invited Fan Jianqiang.

"No, I still need to travel the world! Then I'll record what I see and hear and write a book," Fan Jianqiang said.

"What book?"

"Jianghu Anecdote Records!" Fan Jianqiang said seriously, "Recording the interesting things in the Jianghu and then sharing them will definitely be very interesting."

"Isn't that just a book for people who like to watch the fun?" Shi Feizhe saw through Fan Jianqiang's idea at a glance.

This guy, Fan Jianqiang, just loves to watch the excitement and the fun!

"Hmm~ A book for people who like to watch the fun, that seems pretty good too!" Fan Jianqiang seriously considered the name of the book.

"However, I suggest, little brother Shi, that you still stay away from the Jianghu. Find a place to honestly cultivate to the Seeing Truth or Qi Sea realm before venturing into the Jianghu!" Fan Jianqiang turned his head and suggested to Shi Feizhe.

"Why?"

"Firstly, you'll have the strength to protect yourself in the Jianghu, and secondly, it can lower your notoriety. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll be beaten to death if you go out now!" Fan Jianqiang said earnestly.

He liked to watch the fun, and he felt that Shi Feizhe would provide even greater fun in the future.

The Jianghu, precisely because of people like this, would be more interesting!

"If I get beaten to death, it'll be because you sold me out!"

"Hiss... This suggestion, it seems pretty good too!" Fan Jianqiang frowned, thinking about whether selling out Shi Feizhe would bring more fun!

Shi Feizhe: A sudden black pot from the sky. (A sudden extra chapter, aren't you surprised?)
