"Ye Zhen, today you escaped a disaster, consider yourself lucky! But when Huaisong’s sister finishes her cultivation retreat, that will be your... death day!"
With a fierce smile, Third Commander Jiao Xi of the Sun and Moon Divine Guards angrily turned around and left, whereas Vice Sect Master Yao Sen still maintained some composure.
"Has Master Feng considered, once today’s events become known, the pure reputation of Master Feng might be damaged? I, Yao Sen, take my leave!"
With a bow, Vice Sect Master Yao Sen turned and soared into the sky; the moment he turned, his face had already twisted fiercely, "Ye Zhen, I will surely take your life one day!"
This scene left former Deputy Hall Master Huo Peng of Moonlight Hall dumbfounded. He originally intended to return and revel in Ye Zhen’s misfortune, proving his own brilliance.
But unexpectedly, Yao Sen and the others had faced failure and left dejectedly, leaving him helpless.
Even Vice Sect Master Yao Sen had suffered a setback; what could he possibly do by staying here?
With this thought, Huo Peng was about to sneak away quietly, but just as Huo Peng turned around, the scolding voice of Moonlight Hall Master Feng Qingyue rang out again.
"Huo Peng, I’ve warned you, if you dare step into Moonlight Hall again, I will break your dog legs!"
As she spoke, Feng Qingyue lightly tapped with her slender jade-like fingers and a purple flash shot out abruptly, hitting Huo Peng’s right leg like a meteor chasing the moon and immediately stabbed him fiercely.
A deep cry of agony suddenly emitted from Huo Peng’s mouth. Just as he had risen into the air, Huo Peng was struck down to the ground; when he stood up again, his right leg, which he lifted, swung irregularly—it was broken.
Glaring back bitterly at Feng Qingyue, Huo Peng took off on one leg, his figure soaring away once more.
"Saying it and doing it, this Feng Qingyue truly acts with swift severity!"
At that moment, Feng Qingyue’s fingers that had been pressing on Ye Zhen’s wrist retracted, and the mountain pressed against Ye Zhen’s back also dissipated.
"Ye Zhen, you owe me a life!"
Leaving behind these words, Feng Qingyue’s figure moved, a purple light flashed, and she drifted away, leaving a stunned Ye Zhen and Tian Guizhang looking at each other.
"Good grief, Ye Zhen, it’s only been a few days, and you’ve already gotten entangled with the number one beauty of our Sun and Moon Divine Sect? And spent a night together? I fear the lechers in the sect who fancy Master Feng might view you as an enemy now!" Tian Guizhang pulled Ye Zhen aside, full of curiosity.
Ye Zhen just bitterly smiled, "Vice Sect Master Tian, didn’t you hear that phrase? I owe her a life! If I had really spent a night with her, would she say that?"
Talking about this made Ye Zhen even more annoyed. "Vice Sect Master Tian, tell me, am I wronged? I didn’t kill that man, suffered half a day of injustice, was anxious for half a day, made a few deadly enemies, and still ended up owing someone a life. Am I wronged or not?"
"Uh...."
"That, you’re just unlucky! By the way, was Huaisong truly not killed by you?" Tian Guizhang asked again.
Ye Zhen glared, "If I really killed him, would I still need to leave a corpse behind and let him trouble me? Who wouldn’t know how to destroy a dead body and disappear without a trace?"
"Well... that’s true!"
"However, Huaisong was truly killed while on duty! It has already spread within the sect, thus alarming the Punishment Hall. And since you had conflicts with Huaisong, that led to this trouble!"
Hearing Tian Guizhang say this, a thought suddenly flashed through Ye Zhen’s mind.
Tian Guizhang paused, sizing up Ye Zhen from top to bottom, "But you’re indeed impressive! Before breaking through, you were able to eliminate Yang Zhengxi, who was at the Second Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, by exhausting all means. Just after breaking through to the Soul Sea Realm, you were able to beat up a warrior at the First Stage of the Vein Forging Realm face to face, even though that guy was a bit crippled, you’re really something!"
"But I shouldn’t owe someone a life for no reason, this kind of debt of gratitude isn’t easy to repay!"
Tian Guizhang patted Ye Zhen’s shoulder lightly, "Just consider yourself lucky. In the whole sect, many are queuing up wishing they owed a life to Master Feng Qingyue."
Saying this, Tian Guizhang’s expression suddenly turned serious, "However, you must not take lightly what Jiao Xi said about Huaisong’s sister!
Huaisong’s sister Yua Hanjing, is a master as famous as Feng Qingyue, and together they are known as the Sun and Moon Double Beauties of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect. Among them, Feng Qingyue is known for her noble and kind nature, while Yua Hanjing is ruthless in actions and was even known as a demoness in her early years, only recently fading from the Jianghu as Deviless Luo Yingzi gained fame."
"But for now, you don’t have to worry. Yua Hanjing has been in seclusion for several months and won’t come out anytime soon. Once she does, I will remind you."
"Alright, I’m off. Lay low these few days, especially don’t let anyone know that Yang Zhengxi was killed by you, otherwise, your suspicion might grow bigger!"
After saying this, Tian Guizhang soared into the air and left.
When Ye Zhen returned to Moonlight Hall later, the few members still inside looked at Ye Zhen differently: there was fear, envy, and a hint of jealousy.
Ye Zhen, however, had no time to pay attention to these, feeling overwhelmed by countless thoughts, urgently needing to go back and quietly sort them out, especially about Huaisong’s death.
Huaisong’s death was too sudden, almost right after Yao Sen had assigned a mission from the sect, the news of his death arrived.
The moment everyone rallied to accuse, Ye Zhen almost thought they were framing him.
But upon reflection, Ye Zhen was sure it wasn’t Yao Sen and others who had deliberately killed Huaisong to frame him. First, killing a warrior of the Vein Forging Realm to frame a martial artist of the Soul Sea Realm was too absurd and unlikely.
Secondly, Huaisong died around the Hour of Chou early this morning, while this morning, Yao Sen had specifically assigned a mission from the sect to Ye Zhen, creating a timing conflict.
That is to say, Huaisong was killed by someone else. But who could the murderer be?
Originally, Ye Zhen had not considered this issue, but with one remark from Vice Sect Master Tian Guizhang, he reminded Ye Zhen.
Tian Guizhang had just mentioned that Ye Zhen and Yua Huaisong had a conflict and bore grudges, which made him the prime suspect.
This made Ye Zhen think of another person — Bai Zizai, the silver-haired old man guarding the Bamboo Sea Spirit Academy.
Although according to Tian Guizhang, the number of people Yua Huaisong had offended within the Sun and Moon Divine Sect was countless, in Ye Zhen’s eyes, the enmity between Bai Zizai and Yua Huaisong was not small.
Bai Zizai was indeed an old martial artist at the Peak of the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm, but no matter how old, he was still a martial artist at the Peak of the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm, and he had his own dignity.
Even now, he was basically just idling away his time, but with Yua Huaisong insulting and kicking him around like that, even a person with good temper could not bear it.
And yet, Bai Zizai was always smiling, even when he was being beaten!
Such expressions and composure are not something ordinary people could possess.
Moreover, when Ye Zhen had just knocked down Yua Huaisong in the Spirit Academy, Bai Zizai was able to appear silently behind Ye Zhen, forcing Ye Zhen to become suspicious.
Most importantly, Yua Huaisong had once said that every time he saw Bai Zizai, he would beat him up. Thus, it made sense for Bai Zizai to have a reason to kill.
"Could it be that this silver-haired old man, Bai Zizai, is a highly skilled master concealing his true power?"
Upon this thought, Ye Zhen was greatly startled, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed! Otherwise, any other martial artist at the Peak of the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm, especially with an official position in the Divine Sect, if subjected to beating, would undoubtedly make a huge fuss.
"If I ever get the chance later, I must properly test him!"
Beyond that, what Ye Zhen found even more incomprehensible was Fengh Qingyue’s actions, and of course, what shocked him even more was that Fengh Qingyue had actually seen through his thoughts at that time.
Furthermore, a force that could immobilize Ye Zhen, making him unable to move, shocked Ye Zhen even more.
What Ye Zhen found even more perplexing was that Fengh Qingyue actually provided Ye Zhen with an alibi, almost risking her own reputation in the process.
Even though a man and a woman spending a night together was often construed as cultivating or training, people love to gossip. Who would believe that Ye Zhen and Fengh Qingyue had spent the night cultivating without disturbing each other?
Most people would associate it with romantic involvement, and the impact on Fengh Qingyue’s reputation could be imagined.
"Owe her a life?"
"Is it merely to make me owe her a life?" Ye Zhen’s eyes suddenly narrowed.
Ever since the murder of Yua Huaisong, Ye Zhen had heeded the words of Vice Sect Master Tian Guizhang, kept a low profile, and devoted all his attention to cultivation.
However, this situation lasted only five days, as the time for the treasure competition approached.
A month ago, while enjoying a medium Monthly Allowance in Moonlight Hall, Ye Zhen did not have the freedom to leave at will; he needed to report to Moonlight Hall Master Fengh Qingyue before going out.
To be honest, ever since that day when he supposedly owed Fengh Qingyue a life, Ye Zhen was somewhat reluctant to see her; that woman was really too formidable.
Could she really tell he was planning to run away that day?
"Hmm, are you going to attend the treasure competition?" Despite his reluctance, Ye Zhen still met Fengh Qingyue in a rather large Spirit Academy within Moonlight Hall.
Fengh Qingyue still looked the same: unadorned, with a natural face, a Jade hairpin, dressed in purple clothes, she possessed a beauty that could topple empires. However, her ethereal grace made many people feel ashamed upon a first glance.
Of course, Ye Zhen did not feel this way; otherwise, he might also have been able to look straight at Fengh Qingyue.
"Yes."
"Wait a moment."
"What?"
Upon receiving Fengh Qingyue’s response, Ye Zhen was stunned. How could he even lack such a small amount of freedom?
According to the rules of Moonlight Hall, although martial artists with a medium Monthly Allowance needed to report their movements, they only needed to give notice and could then leave freely.
Unfortunately, no matter how loud Ye Zhen voiced his exclamation, there was no reply anymore.
Having no choice, Ye Zhen could only wait patiently. After all, he owed Fengh Qingyue a life, even though the favor felt somewhat undeserved.
Half a quarter-hour later, Fengh Qingyue stepped out from the inner area, but she had changed her outfit.
Dressed in a spotless white combat outfit, she wore a purple cap with several layers of purple veils hanging down, thoroughly concealing her stunning appearance.
"Let’s go. I’m also planning to attend the treasure competition, we might as well go together!"
Fengh Qingyue’s clear, bell-like voice stunned Ye Zhen once again!
