"A Nascent Soul Old Monster!" Chu Yuntian's raised arm froze in the air. He stared in shock at Bing Wuqing, who had revealed her strength at the peak of the early Nascent Soul Stage. For a moment, he didn't know how to react.
It was unrealistic! There really was a Nascent Soul Old Monster! Wasn't Bing Wuqing only at the early Golden Core Stage? What was going on?
At that moment, Chu Yuntian felt as if there were ten thousand spiritual beasts galloping and howling in his heart. You're a Nascent Soul Old Monster, but you're pretending to be weak. You even allowed yourself to be thrown into the dungeon. Do you have masochistic tendencies? Or are you trying to trick people?
Chu Hengding felt the same way as Chu Yuntian. He didn't expect Bing Wuqing to really be a Nascent Soul Old Monster! No, he should have, because he knew better than anyone that Chu Tianlu was basically telling the truth. It was just that he had habitually taken it as a lie.
An honest man who never lied said that Bing Wuqing was a Nascent Soul Old Monster, but Chu Hengding didn't believe him. What else could he say?
Lin Yi smiled faintly and shrugged at the few people who were instantly silent. "Yu Taicang didn't come, but I don't think he'll come either. By the way, Patriarch Chu, what are you going to do to us?"
"Ah, my head is so itchy, I have no choice but to scratch it!" Chu Yuntian coughed dryly, forcibly withdrawing his arm that was frozen in the air. He mechanically scratched the back of his head, and then said righteously, "If Yu Taicang came, he would definitely not allow you to interfere in other people's matters. Since he did not come, then there is nothing for you to do!"
Pfft! Lin Yi was shocked. This old man's skin was so thick that even a machine gun in the secular world couldn't penetrate it!
Chu Yuntian was also sullen. He was a Nascent Soul Old Ancestor, one of the few people at the top of the Immemorial Jianghu. When had he ever suffered such depression?
But Bing Wuqing's strength was above his, and the Snow Sword School behind her was far stronger than the Chu family. Chu Yuntian could only swallow his anger.
After calmly withdrawing his aura, Chu Yuntian smiled awkwardly and said, "So, it really is an esteemed guest from the Snow Sword School. Sorry for the delay. Let's not talk about the misunderstanding earlier."
Lin Yi looked at Chu Yuntian playfully, and said with a faint smile, "Oh, was it all a misunderstanding before? So, you also believe what Chu Tianlu said?"
Chu Yuntian secretly gritted his teeth and forced out a smile. "This matter still needs to be properly investigated. There is no need to rush to a conclusion."
Bing Wuqing's face was cold, and she said coldly, "I can testify for Chu Tianlu, what he said is the truth!"
They didn't know Bing Wuqing's identity at first, or even if they did, they just thought that she was a junior at the beginning stage of the Golden Elixir realm. As for testifying, of course, it was up to Chu Yuntian and the others to believe whatever they wanted.
But now, it was completely different. Bing Wuqing was also a Nascent Soul Old Monster, and her strength could only be higher than Chu Yuntian's. Her status was also extremely noble. If she said she could testify for Chu Tianlu, Chu Hengding wouldn't dare to say a word against her. Even Chu Yuntian would have to think it over carefully.
"Thank you for your testimony, Mister Bing. I will naturally take care of this matter." Chu Yuntian's expression was a little unsightly. He narrowed his eyes and said indifferently, "Speaking of which, the Snow Sword School really has a good reputation. Your school has always been independent, and has never interacted with other schools. That's why we, the Chu family, haven't received any news of Fellow Daoist Bing's advancement to the Nascent Soul Realm. "
What he meant was that the Snow Sword School usually didn't have the habit of meddling in the affairs of other families or schools. Although Bing Wuqing was a Nascent Soul Old Monster, it was best that she didn't come to the Chu family and tell them what to do.
After all, Chu Yuntian was also a Nascent Soul Old Monster. It was absolutely impossible for him to submit to Bing Wuqing just like that and listen to her from then on.
"By the way, which Snow Sword School are you from? I've heard a lot about Fellow Daoist Bing, but I've never heard of you before." Chu Yuntian didn't want to dwell on the topic just now, so he changed the topic and asked about Lin Yi.
With Bing Wuqing's strength and status, Chu Yuntian definitely wouldn't have any other thoughts if the Spirit Knowledge Fruit was in her hands. However, judging from Chu Tianlu's behavior, the Spirit Knowledge Fruit seemed to be in Lin Yi's hands. So, Chu Yuntian still had some thoughts, and was prepared to find out more about Lin Yi before making a decision based on the situation.
"Haha, I'm not from the Snow Sword School." Lin Yi smiled and shrugged. His expression didn't show the slightest bit of respect for the Snow Sword School. This made Chu Yuntian secretly happy, thinking that he might really get the Spirit Knowledge Fruit.
"So you're not from the Snow Sword School, little friend. But looking at your heroic appearance, you must be from a famous sect, right?" Chu Yuntian continued to put on a gentle smile. If Lin Yi really was a nobody with no background, even if he had Bing Wuqing as a friend, Chu Yuntian wouldn't have anything to fear.
Besides, from Chu Yuntian's point of view, Bing Wuqing probably just happened to be there. Otherwise, how could a dignified Nascent Soul Old Monster like him befriend an ant who had perfected the Foundation Establishment Stage?
"Old man, you're going around in circles, aren't you just trying to pry into my background and see if you can snatch the Spirit Knowledge Fruit from me? Why don't you just say it? Why are you wasting so much effort?" Lin Yi's expression was full of sarcasm. He was here to stir up trouble. If Chu Yuntian were to admit defeat after seeing Bing Wuqing's strength, it would go against his original intention.
Chu Yuntian's face darkened. He was a dignified Nascent Soul Old Monster, and the Chu family master was speaking so politely to him that anyone who came would give him some face. But why was this brat so unpredictable?
He didn't even think about it. Since Lin Yi had already mocked and ridiculed him before, how could he suddenly be nice to him now? Not to mention that Chu Yuntian was still unwilling to let go of the matter regarding Chu Tianlu. Even if Lin Yi wasn't here to stir up trouble, he would definitely not be nice to him.
At the side, Chu Tianlu really didn't want the relationship between Lin Yi and the Chu family to deteriorate. He could only interrupt weakly, "Grandfather, Senior Lin is from the Blue Cloud Sect of the north island."
Chu Yuntian's heart thumped again. The Blue Cloud Sect of the north island was also an existence that the Chu family didn't dare to provoke, especially when the Blue Cloud Sect, Rising Sky Sect, and Xuanji Sect were all on the same side. Even the Snow Sword School probably wouldn't dare to go against them easily.
No wonder Bing Wuqing would hang out with this brat named Lin. It turned out that their backgrounds were about the same! But the Snow Sword School and the Blue Cloud Sect didn't seem to be on good terms. Could they have some secret agreement?
