Chu Yuntian raised his hand and said, "Stop arguing! You two aren't kids anymore. How improper!"
With that, his gaze swept past Lin Yi and Bing Wuqing, and finally landed on Chu Tianlu. He sighed softly and said, "Tianlu, tell us everything truthfully. Don't hide anything!"
"Yes!" Chu Tianlu nodded respectfully, then straightened his body and said, "Actually, we have to start from the start of the trial on Tai Snake Island. The four of us teamed up to search for the Divine Knowledge Fruit, but at the last moment, Tianliang brought Chu Wenshang and Chu Xingping to attack me. They wanted to kill me!"
"Liar!" Chu Hengding sneered. "If the three of them wanted to kill you, would you be able to return alive? Forget about the three of them, even Chu Wenshang alone would be enough to easily dispose of you."
There was one more thing Chu Hengding didn't say, and that was the offensive and defensive treasures he privately gave Chu Tianliang. Those were all top-notch weapons that belonged to the Chu Family. Even without Chu Wenshang, just Chu Tianliang alone was enough to easily and happily take care of Chu Tianlu.
Chu Yuntian nodded. He felt that Chu Hengding's words were very reasonable, but his attention wasn't here. After Chu Hengding finished speaking, he immediately asked, "Tianlu, did you get the Divine Knowledge Fruit?"
Lin Yi rolled his eyes- it was obvious that he was going to be sold again.
As expected, Chu Tianlu hesitated and said, "Grandfather, I didn't get the Divine Knowledge Fruit." Then he glanced at Lin Yi.
There was nothing wrong with his words, but the problem was with the glance he gave Lin Yi. It wasn't that Chu Tianlu was deliberately betraying Lin Yi, but that he would subconsciously not hide it from his grandfather. Although he didn't directly say that the Divine Knowledge Fruit was in Lin Yi's hands, that glance was enough to explain many things.
Everyone present was a wily old fox, and there was no one who didn't understand what Lin Yi was implying. It wasn't just Chu Yuntian- even Chu Yunteng and Chu Hengding were looking at Lin Yi with a little more passion.
The Consciousness Fruit was a heavenly treasure that could directly raise the level of one's consciousness. The Ancient Minor Underworld focused on the cultivation of one's consciousness and the cultivation of one's physical body. A Consciousness Fruit was definitely comparable to an elixir that could directly raise the level of one's strength.
"Chu Tianlu, you've finally revealed yourself at a time like this!" Chu Hengding suddenly roared. He greatly coveted the Spiritual Awareness Fruit, but he also knew that even if there really was one, it definitely wouldn't be his turn to enjoy it.
At this time, it was more important to confirm Chu Tianlu's crime, so he had to take advantage of the situation and use the Spiritual Consciousness Fruit to make Chu Yuntian completely give up on Chu Tianlu.
"You even said that Tianliang and the others wanted to kill you. It's clear that for the sake of the Spiritual Awareness Fruit, you colluded with outsiders to harm your own brothers and clansmen! And here I was wondering what reason you had to deal with Tianliang and kill Wenshang and Xingping. So it was to kill them and steal their treasures!" When Chu Hengding finished speaking, even he himself believed that this was the truth.
A liar could tell a lie that they themselves believed to be the truth. Thus, deceiving others was naturally successful. This was especially true for Chu Yuntian. He already had a preconceived impression that Chu Tianlu had colluded with outsiders. Now that Chu Hengding had even found his motive, what else was there to doubt?
This was especially true for the Spiritual Awareness Fruit. If Chu Yuntian could obtain the Spiritual Awareness Fruit, it was very likely that he would smoothly break through to the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage. Since he knew that the Spiritual Awareness Fruit was most likely in Lin Yi's hands, he would not let Chu Tianlu go no matter what. Only by using Chu Tianlu's weakness could he implicate Lin Yi and even Bing Wuqing. That way, the Snow Sword School would have nothing to say.
"Tianlu, I didn't think that you would still refuse to tell the truth in front of me, the family leader. This old man is truly disappointed in you." Chu Yuntian's face was filled with disappointment and anger. He shook his head dispiritedly and said, "Since you're still not willing to tell the truth, then as the family leader, I can only use the family law and punish you in the name of righteousness!"
Clap, clap, clap! Lin Yi clapped again and again. His speed was not fast, but it was very clear and steady. It sounded like he was slapping Chu Yuntian's face.
"Life is indeed like a play, and it all depends on acting skills. I've really opened my eyes today!" Lin Yi's face was full of ridicule. His gaze rested on the face of Chu Yuntian, the family leader of the Chu family, and he said indifferently, "Old man, Tianlu is your grandson no matter what. If you want to deal with him, you don't have to use such fake acting skills to insult his intelligence.
Just do it openly! "Chu Yuntian was just about to cause trouble for Lin Yi. He did not expect that Lin Yi would directly come to him. He immediately sneered and said," Who do you think you are? How dare you be so presumptuous in front of this old man? But it doesn't matter. Since you're in cahoots with Chu Tianlu, you must have a part in the matter of Chu Tianliang and the other two. Prepare to accompany Chu Tianlu! "
"I already said don't look for excuses. Don't look for excuses. Just do what you want to do openly!" Lin Yi continued to mock him. "Your clumsy acting skills really leave me speechless!"
Pointing at Chu Tianlu, Lin Yi continued, "You didn't listen to a single word of what he said. Oh, I'm sorry, but you probably did listen to a single word, such as the Divine Knowledge Fruit."
Chu Yuntian's expression immediately turned ugly. Everything Lin Yi said was the truth. It was precisely because it was the truth that Chu Yuntian felt so uncomfortable when it was exposed.
"You treat Chu Tianlu's words as farts, but you treat that idiot's farts as immortal qi and breathe in all of them, right?" Lin Yi casually pulled Chu Hengding into his attack range. In the end, he said mercilessly, "Since you've chosen to be shameless, then you might as well tear off all of your masks. Be shameless to the very end. That way, I'll have a bit of respect for you!"
"Insolence, young one!" Chu Yuntian immediately flew into a rage out of humiliation. After becoming a Nascent Soul old monster, there were not many people in the Immemorial Jianghu who had the qualifications to speak to him like this, and not to give him any face at all.
He had originally wanted to cause trouble for Lin Yi and steal the Divine Knowledge Fruit. Now, it was even more logical for him to make a move.
"Don't think that just because you have the Snow Sword School behind you, I won't dare to touch you. Even if Yu Taicang comes, I won't let you off today!" Chu Yuntian had already made up his mind, so he no longer hesitated. He completely released his early Nascent Soul strength and raised his hand to grab at Lin Yi.
And then, there was no then …
It was not Lin Yi who made a move, but Bing Wuqing who had flashed in front of Lin Yi and shielded Lin Yi behind her.
Before Lin Yi spoke, he had already sent a sound transmission to Bing Wuqing, telling her that if the other party made a move, she could directly counterattack. So, when Chu Yuntian made a move, Bing Wuqing had already reacted. Now, she did not hold back at all in carrying out Lin Yi's orders.
