Hua Tingxuan: “…”
The fox thought he didn't believe her, so she cursed and swore even more firmly: "Based on my many years of experience, I can't be wrong! Your senior brother is handsome and has a sweet voice. His screams in bed must sound wonderful—mmm!"
Before the fox could finish its words, its neck was strangled. Hua Tingxuan let it go only after it had weakened its struggle.
The fox demon knew that he had said something wrong, and panted, "Forgive me, sir! I got excited when I talked about beauties, and I lost my composure for a moment. I absolutely dare not covet your person!"
Hua Tingxuan was pleased by the phrase "adults' people" and let it go leisurely, "It's good that you understand."
The fox demon said, "My lord, I have killed someone. I am afraid that I will be in danger if I go to Shuangji Sect... I swear that I will never do evil again! Please don't hand me over."
"I am quite knowledgeable in the art of sex. If you need me in the future," the fox demon smiled obscenely, "I will be there whenever you call me!"
Hua Tingxuan nodded: "Indeed, it is true, but there are thousands of fox demons who know the art of sex, and you... know my secret."
Fox Demon: “!!!”
Black mist suddenly rose in front of the fox's eyes. It tried to struggle, but its limbs seemed to be held down by invisible hands, and its throat seemed to be strangled. It could not utter a single sound and died silently.
"Only dead things can keep secrets. You know that my senior brother likes the innocent little junior brother. How can I take the risk?" Hua Tingxuan released his spiritual sense and probed into the fox's body. After a moment, he frowned and said with disdain: "Your cultivation is so low that you can't even use the demon pill."
Chu Danfeng's mustard seed bag was almost filled with branches of the thousand-year-old soap tree.
He felt that what he had chopped down were not pieces of the wood of the lotus family, but rather pieces of top-grade spirit stones!
This time it’s sent!
Chu Danfeng was happily chopping branches when he suddenly heard a child crying not far away.
…Oh no, it’s Hua Tingxuan!
Nothing will happen, right? Chu Danfeng threw down a dark and smooth branch of the soapwood tree that he hadn't had time to put into the mustard bag, and rushed back with his sword.
Then he found that the barrier he had set was broken, and the fox was dead. Its four claws drooped limply, and its two black eyes were wide open in fear, giving it a horrible look as if it had died with its eyes open. When the little bun saw the fox, it threw itself into Chu Danfeng's arms, calling him "senior brother" in a crying voice, and it was obvious that it was frightened.
Chu Danfeng was also afraid. No matter how much this ungrateful boy bullied him in his previous life, he was just a baby now. In the final analysis, Chu Danfeng had thought about never having anything to do with him again, but he had never thought of killing him.
If something happened to the child due to his negligence now, he would probably feel guilty for the rest of his life.
"Brother is back, everything is fine. It's all my fault for leaving you here alone."
The child buried his head in Chu Danfeng's neck and said in a soft voice: "Brother, I don't blame you. Your barrier saved me. Xuan'er is fine."
The more sensible and obedient the child was, the more distressed Chu Danfeng felt. He even held his junior brother in his arms when he went to check on the fox demon.
As soon as he used his spiritual sense to probe its body, Chu Danfeng frowned: "It's a monster."
"Xuan'er, what did you see just now?"
Hua Tingxuan: "I saw a strange beast with empty eye sockets and black air coming out. Xuan was scared and closed his eyes. Then my brother came back."
Chu Danfeng said in a deep voice: "It looks like a yao beast, which is a kind of fierce beast in the demon world... The demon is causing trouble, so it is not suitable to stay here for long." But Huanyi Mountain is full of spiritual energy, how could a demon be mixed in? No, this matter must be reported to the sect.
After returning to Shuangji Sect, Chu Danfeng felt that the atmosphere in the sect seemed to be a little off, and it was inexplicably tense, but he was in a hurry to hand in the task, so he ignored it and went straight to the back hall of the lecture hall.
After Chu Danfeng returned the jade slip, he mentioned to the deacon disciple about his encounter with the demon in Huanyi Mountain.
The disciple's reaction was even greater than Chu Danfeng had expected. Before he even finished listening to the words, he repeatedly told him to wait here, and then he rushed out like a gust of wind, leaving Chu Danfeng with a face full of questions.
However, a curious disciple came over to talk to him and asked mysteriously, "Did you really encounter a demon beast in Huanyi Mountain?"
"… Is this true?" Chu Danfeng was confused. "Excuse me, Senior Brother, what exactly happened?"
The disciple gossiped and said, "Oh, you just came back, you may not know that Li Ban is dead!"
Chu Danfeng: “!!!”
Chu Danfeng: "Which Li Ban?"
Disciple: "Who else could it be? An inner sect disciple of Zhenyu Peak! And a Jindan cultivator."
How could Li Ban die? According to his memory, this person had always lived well - at least before Chu Danfeng died in his previous life, Li Ban had lived a smooth life and had made some achievements in cultivation.
How could he die suddenly? This plot is completely different from what he remembered!
But the fact is, Li Ban not only died, but also died a particularly tragic death.
"It is said that he encountered a vicious beast from the demon world. When we found him, his body had been exposed for three days, and his golden elixir had disappeared. Without the golden elixir to protect his body, his body was eaten by wild beasts until only a few remains were left! If it weren't for the disciple's uniform, we wouldn't have been able to recognize who he was! Oh, how miserable!"
The disciples who were assigned the task came over in twos and threes: "But it's strange, Huanyi Mountain is protected by a boundary monument, so things from the demon world can't get through at all."
"Who knows? Things are unpredictable. Who would have thought that a basic mission could result in a loss of life?"
Chu Danfeng also sighed after hearing this. If he really encountered a ferocious beast and had his stomach ripped open to take out his golden elixir... it was terrifying just to think about it!
Xiao Hua Tingxuan beside him also spoke faintly: "Li Ban's death was ten thousand times more painful than the shattering of his golden elixir."
Chu Danfeng was startled by the cold and vicious tone, but when he lowered his head, he saw the little guy raised his chubby little face, curved his big eyes and asked quietly: "Brother, the bad guy who bullied you is dead, are you happy?"
… He is still that innocent little kid. Well, children speak without restraint. Maybe I was overthinking just now.
Chu Danfeng didn't want to explain the bad grudges to the child, so he coaxed her, "Happy."
Hua Tingxuan took these words to heart and held his brother's hand tightly with satisfaction.
In the previous life, after his senior brother left, Hua Tingxuan spared no one who had bullied him, and his methods were a hundred times more cruel than they are now.
It's a pity that he is now restricted and can't give full play to his abilities. He can only let the ferocious beast dissect Li Ban's internal organs, crush his golden elixir, and then take his life. It's too easy for him.
But it doesn’t matter. In this life, I will always stay by my brother’s side and will never let him suffer any injustice.
Anyone who dares to make me unhappy will be killed.
The disciples continued to discuss: "It's not over even though Li Ban is dead. Tang Yingdong and several of Kun Duanfeng's fellow apprentice sisters have teamed up to report him, saying that he secretly practiced some evil technique and that he was possessed by a demon and attracted a real beast from the demon world, which almost killed them as well."
"But Senior Brother Liu insisted that Li Ban was innocent. Both sides have their own opinions, and there is still no conclusion."
It turned out that Li Ban's master, Elder Bai Cangshan, was in seclusion at the time, and all the affairs of the peak were temporarily managed by his first disciple Liu Yanbai.
Liu Yanbai is the leader of the younger generation in the sect. He is a young hero in the eyes of outsiders, a proud disciple in the eyes of his teachers, and a stinky pervert in the eyes of Chu Danfeng.
Liu Yanbai and Li Ban had a very close relationship, and Liu Yanbai refused to believe that Li Ban would do such a foolish thing as secretly practicing evil martial arts and becoming possessed by a demon. He was determined to seek justice for his fellow apprentice who had died tragically.
His reason was also very good - the monsters wanted to cross the boundary monument, unless they were summoned by the Great Demon, and Li Ban obviously did not have that ability. Most likely, Tang Yingdong and others were slandering him, but the sisters were just talking nonsense and could not produce other decent evidence. Now that Li Ban's body was destroyed, there was no way to verify it.
It was at this time that Chu Danfeng told the deacon disciple about his encounter with the demon.
No wonder even Elder Kong from the Discipline Hall was alarmed by this entry-level mission worth nine low-grade spirit stones.
The deacon disciple just now went to report to Elder Kong. Now, the Discipline Hall is full of Elder Kong, Kunduan Peak Master Qiu Cangyun, Senior Brother Liu Yanbai, Tang Yingdong and other female cultivators.
Chu Danfeng: “…”
Why make such a big fuss? He is just a witness at best.
However, this was not enough. Liu Yanbai's next words pushed the matter to a climax: "Chu Danfeng, Li Ban is already dead. You should let go of any resentment you have. Why do you still want to slander him?"
Chu Danfeng: “???”
Liu Yanbai looked at Chu Danfeng deeply, then bowed respectfully to his uncles and asked, "Can I have a moment to talk with him?"
Qiu Cangyun shook off his dust, raised his eyebrows, and spoke before Elder Kong: "Is there anything that can't be said in person?"
Qiu Cangyun is Tang Yingdong's master, so he naturally supports his disciple.
However, Liu Yanbai was truly a man of great skill and courage. He actually did something in front of all the elders—he whispered to Chu Danfeng in secret: "Danfeng, it was indeed Li Ban who caused your golden elixir to shatter. I am also very sad about this, but the dead are the greatest. He has already paid the price. You should forgive him and let him go in peace."
Chu Danfeng: “… …” It would have been better if he didn’t say anything. This kind of moral kidnapping of “the dead are the greatest, and we should advise others to be magnanimous” makes people feel uncomfortable no matter how they listen to it.
Moreover, the fact that "Li Ban caused the golden elixir to be shattered" was just a guess by Liu Yanbai himself, so why was he so sure? What was the inside story
Seeing Chu Danfeng frowning and not answering, Liu Yanbai sighed and said to the teachers, "This matter involves our personal grudges. I'm afraid Danfeng's testimony will not count..."
"Who said I only have testimony?" Chu Danfeng suddenly interrupted him.
After all, Liu Yanbai didn't believe that there would be monsters in Huanyi Mountain. In fact, Chu Danfeng also thought it was quite fantastic, but facts speak louder than words.
"Want evidence? Of course I have it." As soon as he stretched out his hand, Hua Tingxuan had already handed him the mustard seed bag, and their cooperation was very tacit.
