Even in her wildest dreams, the Moonlight Sword Immortal would never have imagined that such a huge misunderstanding would occur in such a foolproof situation!
If the other party was anyone else, he would not have bothered to explain.
However, this was one of the four fairies, the Book Immortal, and the princess of the Zixuan Immortal Kingdom!
More importantly, he was indeed in the wrong. If news of this got out, his reputation would be tarnished.
Seeing the Moonlight Sword Immortal's ugly expression, Xiao Li hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over. "It's mainly because I saw this Momo by Su Zimo's side. That's why there was such a misunderstanding."
"Fairy Yunzhu, may I ask why your child is in our Qiankun Academy?"
Xiao Li was still a little confused.
"I heard that Su Zimo of your academy obtained a mutated immortal peach tree, so I asked Taotao to come to his side to cultivate with the help of this mutated immortal sapling. Is there a problem?"
Yunzhu's expression was indifferent. She had already prepared an excuse.
"No, no problem."
Xiao Li smiled awkwardly.
Yun Zhu surveyed her surroundings and sneered, "I don't understand. The Dao child by my side is merely a low-level Heavenly Immortal who has never made enemies with anyone. Why would Heaven and Earth Academy mobilize so many people and even invite a Perfected Immortal to take action?"
The Moonlight Sword Immortal's heart sank.
If news of this got out that the Qiankun Academy bullied the child of the Book Immortal, Yunzhu, it would attract countless criticisms.
The Moonlight Sword Immortal said in a low voice, "This has nothing to do with the academy …"
"Oh?"
Yunzhu did not wait for the Moonlight Sword Immortal to finish and interrupted. "So, this was your idea?"
The Moonlight Sword Immortal's expression was ugly.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly turned around and raised his palm. With a loud smack, he gave Xiao Li a huge slap!
"Xiao Li, how many times have I told you that we must trust each other in the same sect?"
The Moonlight Sword Immortal shouted, "Don't talk nonsense without evidence!"
This slap came without any warning. Xiao Li was completely unprepared and was hit squarely on the face.
The Moonlight Sword Immortal stared at Xiao Li and said coldly, "You'll have to deal with the mistake you made and the joke you made!"
Xiao Li's heart was burning with rage, and his lungs were about to explode.
This matter had been the Moonlight Sword Immortal's idea from the beginning to the end. Now, she was pushing the blame onto him and making him the scapegoat!
Furthermore, it was clearly the Moonlight Sword Immortal who attacked that Daoist child. What did it have to do with him?
However, when Xiao Li saw the Moonlight Sword Immortal's cold and warning gaze, he felt a chill in his heart and his anger was quickly extinguished.
Xiao Li lowered his head and came before Yun Zhu. He bowed and said, "Fellow Daoist Yun Zhu, I'm sorry. It was my fault this time. Please forgive me."
Yunzhu sneered. She knew when to stop and did not pursue the matter.
After all, this was the Heaven and Earth Academy. She couldn't appear too domineering and had to know her limits.
If he didn't back down and was overbearing, it might backfire instead.
At this moment, a crack suddenly appeared in midair.
An old man appeared. His face was pale, and his gaze was gloomy. His entire body was emitting an aura that made people tremble in fear!
Tearing through the void, this was a Celestial King level expert!
The Second Elder of the Academy was in charge of law enforcement and was the most ruthless.
"Greetings, Second Elder."
When the Moonlight Sword Immortal and many other Academy disciples saw him, they bowed and greeted him.
Yunzhu's expression turned serious. She faced the Second Elder of the Academy and cupped her fists. "Greetings, Senior."
The Second Elder of the Academy nodded slightly. His gaze shifted and landed on Xiao Li, the Moonlight Sword Immortal, and the rest. He said coldly, "The Patriarch already knows about today's matter. He instructed me to say a few words.
"First, Fang Qingyun colluded with outsiders and harmed his fellow disciples. Even death can't wipe out his crimes!
"Second, Xiao Li slandered his fellow disciples. Within 10,000 years, he is not allowed to receive any cultivation resources from the Academy. He is not allowed to browse the Academy's cultivation techniques and secret techniques. He is not allowed to take half a step out of the Academy!"
Xiao Li didn't dare to have any doubts. He just lowered his head and obeyed.
"Third, Moonlight Sword Immortal, go into seclusion and reflect. She is not allowed to come out before the Divine Firmament Immortal Meeting!"
Upon hearing this, many Academy disciples sighed. Their gazes towards the Moonlight Sword Immortal became somewhat complicated.
The Patriarch of the Academy's words could be considered to have determined today's matter.
Not only was Fang Qingyun dead, but his reputation was also ruined!
No one was surprised that the Academy dealt with Xiao Li.
However, no one expected that the Moonlight Sword Immortal, as the true disciple of the Patriarch of the Academy and the number one Perfected Immortal of the Academy, would also be punished.
Although it wasn't serious, it disgraced the Moonlight Sword Immortal in front of everyone.
The Moonlight Sword Immortal glanced at Su Zimo expressionlessly. Without a word, she turned and left.
There were too many emotions contained in his gaze.
There was resentment, threats, warnings, and murderous intent!
Su Zimo knew clearly that the Moonlight Sword Immortal would definitely not let this matter rest after suffering such a huge setback!
If she found an opportunity, the Moonlight Sword Immortal would definitely make things difficult for him again!
However, Su Zimo was fearless.
His current strength was indeed inferior to the Moonlight Sword Immortal.
However, as long as he was given time and space to grow, with his cultivation speed, he would soon surpass the Moonlight Sword Immortal!
Moreover, even if the Moonlight Sword Immortal didn't find him, he would seek revenge on her!
Back then on the Dragon Abyss Planet, he almost died in the hands of the Moonlight Sword Immortal. He had never forgotten this matter!
The Second Elder of the Academy surveyed the surroundings and looked at the surrounding Academy disciples. He said in a low voice, "Today's matter, especially regarding Fang Qingyun, no one is allowed to spread it!"
"Dirty linen should not be aired in public. That's how it should be," Elder Chen hurriedly echoed.
Fang Qingyun was originally the number one in the Academy's inner sect and was predicted to be number 10 on the Heaven Roll. In the end, he colluded with outsiders and harmed his fellow disciples. This could be considered the biggest scandal of the Academy in recent years.
If this matter were to spread, it would indeed have a significant impact on the Academy's reputation.
Yunzhu's lips curled slightly. She disapproved of the Second Elder of the Academy's thoughts.
With so many witnesses, it was impossible to hide this matter.
As time passed, all sorts of rumors would naturally spread.
The Second Elder of the Academy looked at Su Zimo, and his expression softened slightly. "Su Zimo, settle the matters here and then head to the Universal Palace. The Patriarch wants to see you."
"The Patriarch wants to see me?"
Su Zimo was a little surprised and asked, "Second Elder, may I ask why the Patriarch wants to see me?"
"I'm not sure. You can ask at the Universal Palace yourself."
The Second Elder of the Academy said and turned to leave.
"I'm leaving too."
Yunzhu glanced at Su Zimo and held Momo's hand as she said in a seemingly casual manner.
"Take care, Princess Yunzhu. I'll send you off."
Su Zimo stepped forward and sped off into the distance with Yunzhu and Momo. Before long, they disappeared from everyone's sight.
An Academy disciple looked at Su Zimo's back view and lamented, "Fang Qingyun prides himself on being unparalleled in scheming and strategizing. But compared to Senior Brother Su's methods, he's still a far cry."
"That's right. Senior Brother Su is the one who can do whatever he wants with a flip of his hand!"
"He killed the number one inner sect disciple and disgraced the Moonlight Sword Immortal. Yet, he was able to escape unscathed. Such methods are truly admirable."
"I wonder what his relationship is with the Book Immortal, Yunzhu."
As Su Zimo and the others left, the crowd dispersed as well. However, the discussion of today's matter would continue for a long time in the Academy.
In the Academy's Secret Pavilion, Elder Xuan's gaze seemed to be able to penetrate countless spaces and witness the entire process.
A complicated and indescribable emotion appeared in his eyes. After a long silence, he closed his eyes again.
