"Who are you people?"
Xia Ping took the initiative and stared at these old men.
"We're all Guardian Elders of Yanhuang University. We're here to investigate the incident regarding the lightning phenomenon," an old man in black said immediately, revealing his identity.
"Young man."
The one who spoke was an old man in gray. He had a cunning look on his face as he looked at Xia Ping with a smile. "Let me ask you directly. Did you cause the lightning phenomenon just now?"
The group of old men stared at Xia Ping, not letting go of his every move. If the terrifying phenomenon just now was caused by this young man, then the reason behind it was worth investigating. They had to find out.
After all, such a strange and terrifying phenomenon would even make kings feel afraid. If they did not know the reason, they would not be able to eat or sleep in peace.
"No, it's not."
Hearing these words, Xia Ping denied it flatly. "I was cultivating at home, and I don't know why I was struck by lightning. I don't even know who I can complain to."
He showed a wronged expression, feeling very innocent.
Without a doubt, if he admitted that he was the one who caused the heavenly punishment just now, it would definitely cause big trouble. He might even be captured and dissected for research.
Therefore, he firmly denied that this matter had anything to do with him.
"Young man, don't lie. Yanhuang University is so big, but why didn't the lightning strike anywhere else but you? No one will believe you even if you say you have nothing to do with this matter, "an old man in green said doubtfully.
All of them were old fellows, and they'd experienced countless schemes and plots in order to advance into the King Realm. So, they could be said to be shrewd with age.
It was impossible to dispel the doubts in their hearts with just one sentence from Xia Ping.
"How would I know?"
Xia Ping spread his hands. "You're asking me? I'm the one who wants to ask the heavens. Why didn't they strike anyone but me? Do I have a grudge against that bastard heavens? That's too unreasonable. "
He would never admit that this matter had anything to do with him. As long as he denied it, even if the higher-ups of Yanhuang University had doubts, they could not do anything to him. They would not be able to find any evidence at all.
"What do you guys think? This kid really doesn't seem to know anything. "
A black-robed elder secretly transmitted his voice. The air trembled, and his voice was transmitted to the ears of the surrounding elders. However, Xia Ping didn't hear anything. This was a unique technique.
"Not necessarily. Maybe this kid is just pretending."
"But this kid is just a new student. It's impossible for him to attract the wrath of the heavens."
"That's right. Even a king might not be able to trigger such a divine punishment. Perhaps it was just a coincidence that the lightning struck his room."
"How could there be so many coincidences? I, on the other hand, feel that this matter must be closely related to this kid."
"That makes sense. This brat is only a Martial Master, but he did not turn to ashes after being baptized by lightning. No matter how I think about it, it is strange."
"Why don't we check his body and see what's wrong with him?"
"That's fine. I'll find an excuse to check his body. Maybe I'll find something. If this brat was the one who triggered the divine retribution, then his body must be hiding some secrets. "
Many old men secretly transmitted their voices and decided on a countermeasure in a few words.
"Young man."
At this point, the black-robed elder said, "You were attacked by lightning just now. Perhaps your body has suffered irrecoverable injuries. If you don't treat it in time, it might leave a hidden danger."
"Why don't you let me check your body and see what's wrong with it? We can find some countermeasures in time."
Hearing this, Xia Ping gave them a sidelong glance and said in disdain, "Check my ass. I don't know anything about my body. It can't be any better. It would be easy for me to kill a few ferocious tigers."
"You guys said so much just to find an excuse to check my body and see if it has anything to do with this divine retribution. Are you guys suspecting me?!"
He exposed the purpose of these people without any hesitation.
"This, this!"
The black-robed elder and the others were speechless. They originally wanted to put forward their ideas tactfully, but they didn't expect this kid to not give them any face and expose them directly.
"Young man, don't be so impulsive. We have our reasons for suspecting you." The green-robed elder said, "The lightning in the sky didn't strike anyone but you. It's like divine retribution."
"Perhaps you've cultivated some sort of evil cultivation technique that caused the heavens to be infuriated and send down lightning."
At this point, he didn't conceal it any longer and directly spoke of the guesses in his heart.
The other old men nodded as well.
"An evil cultivation technique? You think I've cultivated some sort of evil cultivation technique just because of this guess? How laughable. "
Xia Ping cried out. "Alright, I won't resist and allow all of you to check my body. But let me make it clear first. If all of you can't find anything, then how will you compensate me?"
"Compensate you?"
The black-robed elder and the others were stunned. They'd never expected that Xia Ping would actually speak like this.
After all, they were King Realm experts that were supreme existences that were feared by countless people. They were existences that could split the world apart and become kings. If anyone dared to ask them to compensate them, then that person would be tired of living.
But this kid wasn't afraid at all, and he even wanted them to compensate him. It was like they owed this kid a few million and hadn't paid him back. His attitude was boundlessly arrogant.
Who exactly is a King Realm expert now?
"Of course I have to compensate you." Xia Ping spoke as a matter of course. "All of you frequently check my body and suspect me. If news of this matter were to spread, then my reputation would be completely ruined. Everyone would say that I've cultivated an evil cultivation technique that drew the wrath of the heavens. Would I be able to meet others in the future? Would anyone look up to me when I go out? If news of this matter were to spread back to my hometown, would my parents still be able to hold their heads up high?!
"I was already unlucky enough to be a victim. I was cultivating at home when I was struck by lightning for no reason and almost suffered qi deviation. My foundation in the Martial Dao was completely destroyed.
"What about all of you? All of you barged into my house and shouted to kill me. You said that I was the culprit behind this calamity and that I've cultivated some sort of evil cultivation technique. You casually accused and slandered me, and it brought me great mental harm.
"Now tell me, is it too much for me to ask for compensation and compensation for mental harm?!"
He spoke boldly and confidently.
"This … this!"
The black-robed elder and the others were speechless. Even though they knew that this fellow was speaking nonsense and trying to distort the truth, they didn't know why, but they actually felt that it wasn't too much for this kid to ask for compensation.
