Chapter 89 -87: No Way to Appeal, Where Is Justice?

“Nan Sheng pushing you into The Abyss is a fact, and I will report everything I have seen to the Sect Master as it happened,” Yan Changsheng interrupted Shen Qinghe.

Shen Qinghe looked deeply at Yan Changsheng: “For the moment, I choose to believe in you this time, Second Senior Brother.”

Having said that, she left the Bixiao Tower, intending to find Sect Master Zuo.

Xiao Chen watched Shen Qinghe’s retreating figure, his lips parting calmly: “Changsheng, you don’t actually believe what everyone says, that Qinghe saved you because she still has feelings for you, do you?”

Yan Changsheng, detecting the irony in Xiao Chen’s tone, turned to look at him and asked coldly, “Nan Sheng is your fiancée, I think you’re paying way too much attention to Qinghe.”

Certain details were traceable, such as when they set off for the Red Moon Secret Realm, Xiao Chen suddenly left Nan Sheng behind to chase after Dongfang Wuya and Qinghe.

For example, when he and Qinghe emerged from the Illusory Realm, Xiao Chen was searching for them.

Going back even further in time, he remembered that on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival two years ago, Xiao Chen almost stole a kiss from Qinghe.

All these signs indicated that Xiao Chen had more than pure intentions towards Qinghe. Yet, under such circumstances, Xiao Chen had agreed to an engagement with Nan Sheng.

In the end, was Xiao Chen fickle and unable to make up his mind, or did he himself not know who he truly favored?

“Qinghe is my Junior Sister. With our Master in an unrousable slumber, isn’t it very normal for me to pay a bit more attention to my Junior Sister?” After saying that, Xiao Chen walked away without looking back.

In the meantime, Shen Qinghe went to the Sect Master Cave Mansion to see Sect Master Zuo and recounted the ordeal of Nan Sheng’s attempt on her life in the Red Moon Secret Realm.

After listening, Sect Master Zuo looked serious: “Qinghe, such accusations should not be made lightly. Are you certain that Nan Sheng deliberately pushed you into The Abyss?”

Shen Qinghe was not at all surprised by Sect Master Zuo’s doubt about the authenticity of the incident.

“At that time, Second Senior Brother tried to pull me up, but Nan Sheng sliced at my hand with her sword. Under those circumstances, how could Nan Sheng not be trying to kill me?” Shen Qinghe’s gaze was fierce as she looked at Sect Master Zuo, “Or is it because Nan Sheng is a once-in-a-millennium cultivation prodigy and the pride of the Sky Pole Sect, you subconsciously favor her, convinced that she is not a vicious villain?!”

Sect Master Zuo was left somewhat guilty by Shen Qinghe’s forceful words.

The moment Shen Qinghe accused Nan Sheng, his inner balance indeed tipped toward Nan Sheng for an instant, unwilling to believe that a talented and seemingly kind and beautiful girl like Nan Sheng would harm a fellow disciple.

“This is a matter of great importance; I need to discuss it with the other sect elders. Of course, I cannot rush to conclusions based on your side of the story alone, unless you have witness or physical evidence that Nan Sheng did indeed attempt to take your life,” Sect Master Zuo stated solemnly.

Besides Shen Zhuo lying unrousable and Elder Wu Ke being absent from the sect, other people needed to be gathered to discuss this matter.

There was also a troublesome individual, Dongfang Wuya.

Dongfang Wuya had always favored Shen Qinghe. If Dongfang Wuya were to be involved, it was likely that Dongfang Wuya alone would have the final say.

For a while, Sect Master Zuo hesitated on whether or not to inform Dongfang Wuya of the meeting.

An hour later, the Council Hall.

With the exception of Dongfang Wuya, several of the sect’s elders had already arrived. Sword Master Tian Yan, Nan Sheng’s Master, had also made an appearance.

As the person involved, Nan Sheng had yet to show up.

“What’s going on?” Sect Master Zuo turned towards Sword Master Tian Yan and asked.

With an arrogant look, Sword Master Tian Yan glanced at Shen Qinghe before raising his chin proudly and responded, “Shengsheng is about to make a breakthrough! A cultivation genius like Shengsheng cannot be found anywhere else in the South Desolate Continent. Why should the Sect Master waste time on some mediocrities?”

When he mentioned “mediocrities,” he purposefully stared at Shen Qinghe, implying that there was no need to waste time on a mediocrity like her.

Shen Qinghe was not surprised that Nan Sheng was about to break through.

If Nan Sheng were to successfully break through this time, she would advance from the Foundation Establishment Stage to the Golden Core Stage, which was why Sword Master Tian Yan was so proud.

As soon as Sword Master Tian Yan’s words were out, several other elders started to echo him, all advising Sect Master Zuo not to squander the future of a genius cultivator for the sake of Shen Qinghe.

Shen Qinghe listened quietly and then raised her voice to ask, “Forgive this disciple for not understanding, but how can a genius female cultivator with no moral integrity become a matter of pride for you elders? Just because Nan Sheng possesses exceptional cultivation talent, does it mean her murder can be easily forgiven? I dare ask, where is justice?”

Yan Changsheng just happened to arrive at this time.

He had heard what Sword Master Tian Yan had said earlier, and he had heard what the several elders had said. Everyone present sided with Nan Sheng and no one cared about how Qinghe felt.

She was the real victim here. If it hadn’t been for Qinghe fighting tirelessly in the Illusory Realm, he and Qinghe might have already perished in these trials.

In the eyes of Sword Master Tian Yan and the few elders, two lives mattered less than a single Nan Sheng.

Sadly, he was once the executioner by Nan Sheng’s side; he was also a knife in Nan Sheng’s hand, with every slice aimed at Qinghe’s vital points.

If he had not come to his senses, he too would have joined forces with Sword Master Tian Yan in the filth, striking at Qinghe together.

After steadying his mind, he stood beside Qinghe and bowed his hands, “Since Nan Sheng is breaking through, let’s wait for Nan Sheng to settle the matter after her breakthrough. Qinghe and I can wait.”

Sword Master Tian Yan, seeing Yan Changsheng arrive, naturally assumed he was on Nan Sheng’s side, and started playing peacemaker, “Changsheng, Qinghe is young and inexperienced; it’s normal for her to have conflicts with Shengsheng. Considering Shengsheng has high cultivation talent, and Qinghe is quite mediocre, it’s normal for her to be jealous of Shengsheng. But it was wrong for Qinghe to pour water on Shengsheng. A talented girl like Shengsheng, why would she have any reason to kill Qinghe? If Qinghe is lying, she should at least make it logical…”

The more Yan Changsheng heard, the tighter his brows furrowed, interrupting Sword Master Tian Yan, “Master Tian Yan isn’t the person involved and is drawing conclusions too rashly. Let’s wait for Nan Sheng to arrive and then discuss the matter in detail.”

Sword Master Tian Yan sensed that something was amiss upon hearing Yan Changsheng’s words, and his lips curled into a sneer, “Changsheng, I heard that it was Qinghe who risked her life to save yours. You wouldn’t be trying to repay Qinghe’s life-saving grace by slandering Shengsheng, would you?!”

As he spoke, the faces of a few elders turned sour, and Elder Wang frowned deeply, “If there is such a life-saving connection between Changsheng and Qinghe, Changsheng cannot be a witness!”

Shen Qinghe slightly lifted her eyelids and looked up at the high and mighty elders and Sword Master Tian Yan, feeling not much anger in her heart.

After all, this was just a book. Nan Sheng was the darling of the story, with everyone favoring her, and she was merely early cannon fodder. Had she not stubbornly saved her own life back then, she would not have had the chance to stand here and accuse Nan Sheng.

She just found it all so ironic—the cultivation world indeed valued the strong above all others.

Because Nan Sheng possessed great cultivation talent, even if she committed robbery and murder, she could be easily forgiven, while she, the so-called victim, nearly killed by Nan Sheng, was not even given a chance to plead.
