What made Luo Ze even more unbearable was the trace of disdain in Su Qing's voice.
Lu Xiaotian was even more enraged. In addition to Luo Ze's hysteria, there was also his ignorance towards Su Qing, or perhaps he was deliberately trying to sow discord. Although this woman's appearance was the most beautiful he had ever seen in his life, he did not have the slightest favorable impression of her.
"I want you to die!"
Luo Qian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes bloodshot. He reached out and slapped his storage bag. A purple spear flashing with lightning once again flew out and circled above his head. Lu Xiaotian could not be more familiar with the frightening aura emanating from the spear. It was actually a thunder-type magic tool!
Was this kid crazy? Lu Xiaotian could not help but feel that this was quite troublesome. Once Luo Qian used the magic tool, even if Luo Qian was already in a seriously injured state, he would still have to use the Demon Binding Rope. Otherwise, his life would be in danger. With his strength, he simply could not withstand the full power of a thunder-type magic tool. But once the Demon Binding Rope was used, his details would quickly be thoroughly investigated.
Su Qing looked curiously at Lu Xiaotian, wanting to see what kind of move Lu Xiaotian would use to deal with Luo Ze's magic tool, the lightning spear. When the magic spear was used, Zhang Tao and the others fearfully retreated to the side, afraid that the irrational Luo Qian's anger would affect them. But although Lu Xiaotian's complexion was not good, it was not to the extent that Zhang Tao and the others were afraid. Her curiosity towards Lu Xiaotian was growing stronger and stronger. But she did not know that Lu Xiaotian hated her to death.
"Stop!" Just when Lu Xiaotian was hesitating, a stern voice rang out. "Stop!"
A large black hand about three feet wide grabbed down from the sky. It actually directly grabbed Luo Qian's magic tool, the lightning spear, in its hand.
Lu Xiaotian looked up and could not help but be startled. Two people jumped down from the sky. A thin old man jumped down from the sky. His face was as sharp as a knife, revealing a sense of rigidity and sternness. It was actually Zhao Zhong, whom he had met in Full Moon City. This was the first time he'd seen a Foundation Building cultivator take action. He was able to casually grab an Aura Refining cultivator's magic tool. The difference between a Foundation Building cultivator and an Aura Refining cultivator was like a natural chasm. The other person was an old man with a black beard who was about the same age as Zhao Zhong.
"Martial … Martial Uncle Zhao, Martial Uncle Qi." The faces of Zhang Tao and the others were ashen, and they secretly complained in their hearts. Their luck was so bad that they bumped into Uncle Zhao, who was usually known for being strict.
"You guys sure have guts. Putting aside the fact that you're fighting privately within the palace, you're actually using magical artifacts. Are you trying to kill us?" Zhao Zhong berated. His hair and beard stood on end as he was incomparably furious.
"M-Martial Uncle Zhao, it was this Green Lotus Peak Domain's Lu Xiaotian who provoked us first and then injured Senior Brother Luo. We didn't want to interfere, so we stopped him." Zhang Tao hurriedly turned around to frame Lu Xiaotian.
"Is that true?" Zhao Zhong stared at Lu Xiaotian again. He felt that Lu Xiaotian looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was. After all, there were tens of thousands of disciples in the Divine Firmament Palace. It was normal for some of them to have the same name. Moreover, the last time he saw Lu Xiaotian was in Full Moon City, and it had been nearly seven years since then. Lu Xiaotian's height and appearance had changed a lot. He was no longer the childish boy he used to be.
"Martial Uncle Zhao, Martial Uncle Qi, I was just passing by the Spirit Heaven Peak Domain. How could I provoke Senior Brother Luo and the others alone? If Martial Uncle Zhao doesn't believe me, you can separate Senior Brother Luo and the others and ask them individually how I provoked Senior Brother Zhao. See if their statements are the same, then you can judge whether they're lying or not. "
Lu Xiaotian bowed to Zhao Zhong in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing. He almost couldn't help but laugh at Zhang Tao's brainless framing. If he was stumped by such a small problem, how could he still be alive today?
"Is that so? First, you provoked us, then slandered us. When did the Spirit Heaven Peak Domain have such a bad disciple? If such a thing is true, you'll be punished according to the palace's rules! " Zhao Zhong narrowed his eyes and looked at the ashen-faced Zhang Tao. There was no need to ask further. Just from the expressions of these people, he knew that Zhang Tao wasn't telling the truth.
"Martial … Martial Uncle Zhao, we … we didn't say anything. It was all Zhang Tao's nonsense." The other people's legs were trembling. Seeing that they couldn't get away with it, they hurriedly denied it and drew a clear line between them and Zhang Tao.
"Very well. You're really taking the palace's rules for granted. This old man will personally lead you to the Punishment Hall later! "Zhao Zhong shouted.
Zhang Tao was so frightened that he knelt on the ground.
"Alright, Senior Brother Zhao. Don't scare the children. Although Zhang Tao's conduct is bad, he's young and impetuous. It's inevitable that he'll make some small mistakes. Besides, the Luo Clan's brat is still heavily injured. Why don't you let him treat his injuries first? Besides, Martial Uncle Su's granddaughter is still here. With Martial Uncle Su's upbringing, this fight should be a normal spar. There's no need to look into it. "The black-bearded old man who hadn't spoken until now advised.
"Su Qing greets Martial Uncle Zhao and Martial Uncle Qi." Su Qing obediently saluted the two.
"En, en. I haven't seen you for a few months. Little girl Su is becoming more and more obedient and sensible." Old Man Qi nodded repeatedly. However, Zhao Zhong wasn't like Old Man Qi who could put down his face and didn't say anything else.
"Young man, you're quite good. You're able to cultivate wholeheartedly. You're actually able to defeat Luo Qian. No matter who started it, it's wrong to fight privately. If you suffer any losses, let Luo Qian compensate you. We're all from the same sect. Let's just drop this matter. What do you think? "
Old Man Qi looked at Lu Xiaotian and said. He had a good relationship with Luo Qian's father. This matter was obviously instigated by Luo Qian, who even used a magic tool. If he came alone, he could use force to suppress the matter, but unfortunately, Zhao Zhong, this stubborn and tough guy, happened to be on the same path. If he wanted to settle this matter, he had to get a breakthrough from Lu Xiaotian.
"Junior Brother Qi, if we try to smooth things over, won't everyone treat the rules of the palace as a joke in the future?" Zhao Zhong frowned.
Lu Xiaotian listened as old man Qi brushed aside most of Luo Qian's mistakes with just a few words and asked him about it. On the surface, it was a question, but as an Aura Refining cultivator, Lu Xiaotian didn't have the confidence to refuse. If he offended an honest old man like Zhao Zhong, he wouldn't have any bad intentions. However, if old man Qi really wanted to make trouble for Lu Xiaotian with his benevolent appearance, it would definitely be troublesome. Moreover, if he really wanted to use Zhao Zhong to severely punish Luo Qian and the others, it would definitely be a waste of time and they wouldn't be able to make it to the auction in Chifeng Town. Therefore, he nodded and said, "Martial Uncle Qi is right. Senior Brother Luo and this junior only had a small conflict. This junior didn't suffer any losses, so there's no need for compensation. Now that Senior Brother Luo is injured, it's better for him to get treated as soon as possible."
"Haha, young man, you have a good bearing. Not bad." Martial Uncle Qi laughed heartily. He was very satisfied with Lu Xiaotian's tactfulness. Such a young man who knew when to advance and when to retreat wouldn't really cause trouble. However, he still had to take Zhao Zhong's face into consideration. Therefore, Martial Uncle Qi turned to Zhao Zhong and said, "Senior Brother Zhao, it's just a small fight between children. There's no need to use the palace's rules. However, this brat Zhang Tao actually dared to deceive a senior.
Zhao Zhong glared at Lu Xiaotian and said unhappily, "Since that's the case, we'll do as you say." Then, he flicked his sleeves and left.
