Seven Parts Truth, Three Parts Lies
But you are the one being used as nourishment.
Qin Li's words, upon reaching Shen Wentian's ears, instantly dispelled his impulse to refute.
People are afraid of being led astray.
Especially in situations where some information is already known.
He knew that Shen Wenxi was still alive.
He also knows that Shen Wenxi's whereabouts remain unknown.
Previously, he hadn't taken these things to heart, thinking he could find them again someday.
But right now, an idea couldn't help but pop into Shen Wentian's mind:
"Is it really because we can't find Wenxi that we can't find her?"
The answer made Shen Wentian feel that something was very wrong.
Although the Shen Clan is not as formidable as the Liu Clan in this Misty Clear Realm, it is by no means an unknown force.
However, the fact that they couldn't find a single one of the already seriously injured girls now seems incredibly suspicious.
Is it that they genuinely can't find it, or are they intentionally choosing not to look?
Moreover, the Shen Clan's training model over the years has always focused on itself.
He used to be very proud of this.
After all, someone as extraordinary as myself certainly deserves to be treated this way.
But now, upon closer reflection, wasn't my father a little too good to me?
Furthermore, the other elders in the clan were also willing to do so. This model of training one person was already rare, yet everyone took it for granted.
Is it really just for my own good? Or is there another motive?
Furthermore, why is my own bloodline no longer functioning?
It is clearly one's own bloodline, and should be under one's control. Even if it has developed sentience, it should still listen to one's own will.
But what is the reality?
In that life-or-death moment, I was afraid, but it seemed that this blood relative was even more afraid than I was!
Is this reasonable?
The most questionable part is the decisive moment just now.
How could such an accident happen to someone as powerful as my father, who controls things belonging to their Shen Clan?
Moreover, they had stated from the beginning that they had rehearsed on stage themselves.
Wasn't this unexpected turn of events too coincidental?
Not only was it a coincidence, but Gu Chen's strength was also directly boosted to such a high level.
Even if it was an accident, it should have been his own fault. Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut when he was supposed to kill Gu Chen?
That would only make people think it's unreasonable, and might even raise suspicions.
But that's what my father did anyway.
Despite being severely injured, Shen Wentian's thinking was clearer than ever before.
The feeling of having the window paper pierced, the clarity of no longer being kept in the dark, quickly led him to a conclusion:
My father really wanted me to die!
In an instant, the bone-chilling cold was even more unbearable for Shen Wentian than the physical pain.
Meanwhile, Shen Wenxi looked at Qin Li in disbelief, utterly shocked by the news she had just learned.
After Qin Li landed, he immediately asked:
"Senior sister, what you just said..."
Qin Li looked over and said...
"It's nothing, they're probably all fake."
"Should?" Shen Wenxi, somewhat puzzled.
"A story is seven parts truth and three parts falsehood; if you encounter someone who isn't very bright, they can easily be..."
As she spoke, Qin Li paused, then shook her head:
You probably didn't receive the letter, right?
Shen Wenxi was silent for a moment:
"Senior sister, I might not be very smart."
"Back to your question," Qin Li changed the subject, saying:
"What I told Shen Wentian at the end was all made up. Of course, it wasn't entirely baseless; the relationships on your side of the family are indeed a bit complicated."
Shen Wenxi nodded, but did not ask too many questions about the chaos.
At this moment, on the field, Liu Duanyuan removed the power that had isolated Shen Tianxun.
Shen Tianxun immediately looked toward the location of the array.
When he saw the Faith-Forging Field suspended in mid-air, despite having some expectation in his mind, he couldn't help but change his expression.
"This Shen Clan is still concerned about this so-called Faith-Forging Field, little does he know that his family's secrets have now been exposed."
"Tsk tsk, with all the brothers working together, the Shen Clan is definitely a bit cunning, and they don't even know it, which makes it even worse. When I took a closer look, I could even tell that the Shen Clan chief is being cuckolded."
"I'm a little curious about what Shen Wentian is thinking. It's a pity he was beaten so badly that he probably can't even react right now. Otherwise, it would have been quite an exciting situation."
The group discussed it with great interest.
After all, before this, the image of the Shen Clan, while not exactly positive, was often associated with words like domineering.
The current chaotic situation is truly beyond everyone's imagination.
Although some remained skeptical, seeing that even Liu Duanyuan couldn't activate the so-called Faith-Forging Field, could it be that the woman who pointed out the problem earlier was stronger and more capable than Liu Duanyuan?
That's highly unlikely.
"Shen Tianxun, a bet is a bet. This time, your Shen Clan has lost the wager. Do you have any objections?"
Liu Duanyuan's voice rang out as he looked at Shen Tianxun.
Shen Tianxun's expression immediately changed, and he quickly said:
"Senior Liu, someone has definitely sabotaged this in secret!"
"Hmm." Liu Duanyuan nodded.
"Do you have any evidence to support your claim?"
Shen Tianxun immediately spoke up:
"When I activated the Faith-Forging Field, I clearly felt another force..."
"Wait a minute," Liu Duanyuan interrupted.
"You just said that you were urging the Faith-Forging Field to operate at that time?"
Shen Tianxun's voice stopped abruptly. He opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Liu Duanyuan, however, uttered a thought-provoking statement:
"Everything's fine, why did you activate the Faith-Forging Field?"
Shen Tianxun remained silent.
Everyone looked at Shen Tianxun with expressions that were either strange, surprised, or puzzled.
"This is... an admission of guilt."
"No, how could he say that? Although I'm not the clan leader, I know I can't express myself like that. As the clan leader of the Shen Clan, he shouldn't do such a thing, right?"
"No, shouldn't the patriarch of a powerful clan be someone with strong abilities, who thinks carefully before speaking, and acts flawlessly? Why does this Shen Clan give me the feeling of being a makeshift leader?"
"..."
Shen Tianxun's honesty immediately sparked a lively discussion among the crowd.
As for Shen Tianxun, the person involved, he felt like he was regretting it to the core.
What others say is their business, but I had to say it myself...
"Senior Liu, no, it's not like that," Shen Tianxun tried to explain.
"What happens later is the most important. The one interfering in the fight isn't me, but someone else."
"You need to provide evidence," Liu Duanyuan nodded and said.
"There's no way to prove this, but I swear on my life."
As he spoke, Shen Tianxun was about to make a gesture as if to swear an oath.
But Liu Duanyuan stopped him immediately.
"Shen Tianxun, there are two kinds of people that my Liu Clan hates most: those who speak recklessly and those who break their promises."
"In this bet, did your Shen Clan lose, or did you cheat?"
At the following sentence, Liu Duanyuan's expression and voice both became serious.
