Qu Xiao sat in the gazebo with a white jade cup in his hand. The veins on the back of his hand were bulging and wriggling like worms.
His expression was unusually calm as he looked into the distance. His gaze was calm and there was no sign of anger.
Song Wu's graceful figure and delicate face appeared in his mind. Her every frown and smile tugged at his heart. As long as he saw her, his gaze would be firmly attracted by her and he could not look away.
He knew that Tan Gu was trying to sow discord and make him deal with Xu Hun.
Tan Gu deserved a beating and he would find a chance to make him suffer in the future. However, Xu Hun had to teach him a lesson and let him know that some people could not be touched!
Thinking of this, his gaze became focused and revealed a cold intent.
On the way back, Tan Gu bumped into his fellow disciples. All of them looked at him with smiles on their faces. Some even giggled and said that they wanted to borrow his Sky Ascension Pill. They had reserved the Sky Ascension Pill ten years later and should not refuse.
Tan Gu laughed and scolded them back. He looked like he did not care but he was cursing in his heart.
He felt that they were mocking his stupidity again and again. He secretly scolded them for being fooled by Xu Hun and not knowing that he was a wolf in sheep's clothing.
As he thought of this, he looked towards Xu Hun's courtyard and saw Song Wu's graceful figure.
Song Wu was carrying a box and walking out of the courtyard.
He immediately understood that she was going to deliver food to Xu Hun. Was Junior Sister Song charmed by Xu Hun? Junior Sister Song, whom all the male disciples adored, was so easily conquered?
He immediately shook his head. Junior Sister Song did not like Xu Hun. She just pitied him.
However, the scary thing was that if she continued to be so close, would she fall in love with Xu Hun one day?
Thinking of this, he felt a faint pain in his heart. He could not accept it.
After Song Wu returned to the courtyard, she suddenly remembered that Junior Brother Xu had the habit of forgetting to eat and sleep. Once he started cultivating, he would forget to eat. If he wanted to cultivate, he would definitely forget to eat.
She delivered the food to Chu Li and packed the box before leaving. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Qu Xiao.
Qu Xiao was quietly standing outside the door looking at her.
"Senior Brother Qu." Song Wu fist saluted and walked out with the box.
Qu Xiao said, "Junior Sister Song, Junior Brother Xu hasn't finished his solitary confinement yet. Do you need to continue delivering food?"
"He's in seclusion," Song Wu said. "Senior Brother Qu, if there's nothing urgent, it would be best not to disturb him."
Qu Xiao said lightly, "I'm here to ask about the Soaring Pill."
"About Senior Brother Tan Gu borrowing the Soaring Pill?" Song Wu said, "I was the one who told everyone."
Qu Xiao asked, "Did Junior Martial Brother Tan really borrow the Soaring Pill? You didn't force me, did you? "
"I don't think so," Song Wu said, "After all, Senior Brother Tan's cultivation is stronger. Junior Brother Xu can't beat him."
"Junior Brother Tan is seriously injured," Qu Xiao said. "I suspect that Junior Brother Xu was the one who beat him up."
"Snatch? This is too funny! "Song Wu frowned and glared at him with dissatisfaction." Senior Martial Brother Qu, are you trying to accuse Junior Martial Brother Xu of stealing the Soaring Pills? Snatching the Sky Ascension Pill is a serious crime! "
"Whether it's true or not, we have to find out."
Song Wu scoffed, "It's not like you don't know about Senior Brother Tan!"
Qu Xiao said lightly, "I've heard the rumors, but no one can testify. Who can say for sure? Rumors stop with the wise. "
Song Wu shook his head in disappointment. "How can there be no groundless rumors? Senior Martial Brother Tan's aptitude is ordinary, but he has such a high cultivation level. He has been hiding it all this time because he has a guilty conscience!"
"What about Junior Martial Brother Xu?" Qu Xiao said, "His aptitude is also ordinary, right?"
"He cultivated at God's Eye Peak." Song Wu shook his head. "I saw him improve by leaps and bounds with my own eyes. The Soaring Pill didn't exist then, so why was Senior Martial Brother Tan forced to borrow the Soaring Pill? It's because he came to borrow Junior Martial Brother Xu! "
Junior Martial Brother Xu forced Junior Martial Brother Tan? "Qu Xiao said.
Song Wu frowned and looked at him with dissatisfaction.
Qu Xiao said, "I don't care about the reason, I only care about the result. Junior Martial Brother Xu forced Junior Martial Brother Tan's Soaring Pill!"
"Senior Martial Brother Qu is really impartial!" Song Wu sneered.
Qu Xiao shook his head. "There's no point in talking. Let's ask Junior Martial Brother Xu!"
As he said this, he came to Chu Li's courtyard door and knocked twice.
Chu Li quickly came to open the door. He was stunned to see Qu Xiao and then Song Wu.
Song Wu said, "Senior Martial Brother Qu has a few questions for you. Just tell him the truth. Don't worry."
Chu Li nodded and turned to the side to invite the two in.
Qu Xiao sat at the stone table expressionlessly and looked Chu Li up and down. He was unscrupulous and condescending as if he wanted to see through Chu Li's depth.
Chu Li looked at him calmly and did not make a sound.
Song Wu was secretly worried that Chu Li would be too honest and tell the truth.
Qu Xiao said slowly, "Junior Martial Brother Xu's Heavenly Heart Technique is at the eighth level, right?"
Chu Li nodded. "Yes, I just reached the eighth level."
Qu Xiao smiled faintly. "The eighth level! How rare! "
Chu Li was silent.
Qu Xiao said, "You borrowed the Soaring Pill from Tan Gu?"
"The Soaring Pill?" Chu Li was stunned and shook his head. "Actually, Senior Martial Brother Tan didn't lend it to me. He lost it to me. I was afraid that Senior Martial Brother Tan would be embarrassed, so when Senior Martial Sister Song came over, she said that she wanted to borrow it from Senior Martial Brother Tan."
He said with a straight face, "Senior Martial Brother Tan wanted to borrow it from me but I didn't lend it to him. So, Senior Martial Brother Tan fought and lost the Soaring Pill to me."
"Huh?" Qu Xiao frowned and stared at him as if trying to see through his thoughts.
Song Wu said, "Senior Martial Brother Tan fought and stole your Soaring Pill?"
Chu Li smiled and did not deny it. "Senior Martial Brother Tan said he borrowed it, so let's call it a loan. I won the Soaring Pill from Senior Martial Brother Tan, but I don't know if Senior Martial Brother Tan forcefully borrowed it from someone else."
Song Wu's delicate face darkened. She turned to look at Qu Xiao. "Senior Martial Brother Qu, this is not a small matter. I think we should report this to the pavilion leader!"
Qu Xiao stared at Chu Li and nodded slowly.
Song Wu scoffed. "Seems like the rumors are true!"
Chu Li said, "If it wasn't for my rapid advancement in God's Eye Peak, the Soaring Pill would definitely have been borrowed."
Qu Xiao's appearance was definitely Tan Gu's doing. If that was the case, he would expose Tan Gu's background. Once he reported it, the pavilion leader would not be deceived.
"I will report this to the pavilion leader!" Qu Xiao said in a low voice.
Song Wu's face darkened. She said coldly, "He's really lawless and obsessed!"
Qu Xiao nodded. He was indeed obsessed, but this Xu Hun was ruthless enough.
Whether the Soaring Pill was borrowed or snatched depended on their side of the story. There was no way to prove it, so Tan Gu was bound to suffer in silence.
What was worse was that Tan Gu did not rob anyone in the past. Once the pavilion leader investigated, he would not be able to hide it. Tan Gu might not have a chance to make a comeback and would be crippled of his martial arts.
When he thought of this, he sized up Chu Li and tried to see through him.
Song Wu scoffed. "We can't let him go. Senior Martial Brother Qu, when will you report this to the pavilion leader?"
"Today," Qu Xiao said.
Chu Li said, "Senior Martial Sister Song, Senior Martial Brother Qu, do we still need to report to the pavilion leader? Can't we see what he's doing with the Peering Technique?"
"The Peering Technique can't be used on fellow disciples," Song Wu said.
Chu Li frowned. "Can the pavilion leader see what he's doing?"
"With the Star Stone, he should be able to." Song Wu nodded.
Qu Xiao said plainly, "Junior Martial Brother Xu, don't worry. If he really did it, he won't be able to escape!"
Chu Li fist saluted and said no more.
