Yun Churan spoke indifferently, "Mu Senior Brother, you ask me what I mean? Haven't you noticed that your disciple Mo Li hasn't returned to Hidden Sword Peak?"
Ling Luoyan also responded rather irritably, "Mo Li went with Xu Sheng and my female disciple, Gu Linruo. Why is it that only he has not returned? This is something worth pondering deeply over, isn't it, Mu Senior Brother?"
Confused, Muhuan clenched his teeth and with a somewhat more sincere attitude, he inquired, "Please enlighten me, Junior Sisters!"
How could he possibly know what had happened to Mo Li? He had just now found out that Mo Li had even taken on a mission!
Yun Churan looked at Muhuan and began speaking with a sentence as startling as a bolt of lightning...
"That Mo Li was slain by my disciple, Xu Sheng!"
Upon hearing this, Muhuan's eyes filled with rage, "What? Junior Sister Yun, you must explain this matter to me..."
Before he could finish, Ling Luoyan interrupted him with a cold voice, "Mu Senior Brother, Junior Sister Yun hasn't finished speaking yet. If, after hearing everything, you still feel that you have the right to be angry, then consider that I've said nothing!"
Muhuan took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart, "Continue, Junior Sister Yun."
He couldn't believe that there was anything more important than the murder of his own disciple.
Glancing at him, Yun Churan continued, "It's true that Xu Sheng killed your disciple, but the precondition is that your disciple attempted to launch a sneak attack on them while they were battling with a demon cultivator, to take advantage of Xu Sheng and Gu Linruo!"
Muhuan's eyes widened in shock, he exclaimed, "Wha... What? That's impossible! Why would Mo Li do such a thing as to kill a fellow disciple!"
He admitted Mo Li was indeed very cunning, but he never thought Mo Li would go so far as to kill a fellow disciple!
The tone in Ling Luoyan's voice grew colder as well, "At this point, do you still wish to argue, Mu Senior Brother? You should be well aware of what happened during the competition among the five peaks. It must have been Mo Li harboring resentment in his heart!"
"Moreover, both Xu Sheng and Gu Linruo said the same thing. Could the two of them have colluded to falsely accuse someone?"
It seemed that Muhuan really didn't understand his own disciple at all.
Upon hearing this, Muhuan's face grew darker, and his initial impulse to question Yun Churan calmed down...
After taking a deep breath, he spoke with a tone carrying a hint of apology, "Junior Sister Yun, Junior Sister Ling, if that is indeed the case, Xu Sheng has done nothing wrong! Turning one's hand against a fellow disciple deserves death!"
The icy expression on Ling Luoyan's face melted away in an instant, and she chuckled, "There's no need for such formality, Mu Senior Brother. Most of the blame lies with Mo Li, but as the Cangjian Peak's Peak Master, you bear some responsibility as well. Shouldn't there be some gesture of goodwill? We wouldn't want the disciples' hearts to grow cold."
Yun Churan watched Ling Luoyan, noting the proficient manner in which she strong-armed, causing the corner of her mouth to twitch reflexively...
Even the accomplice is more of an accomplice than I am!
Muhuan let out a sigh and nodded in agreement, "Of course! To express my apologies, you may take any treasure from Hidden Sword Peak as you wish!"
The treasure was the least of his worries, but losing a core disciple at the Golden Core Stage was what truly pained him the most!
Yun Churan and Ling Luoyan exchanged a glance, and the latter spoke up, "Then, Mu Senior Brother, we'll take you up on that offer."
...
In the courtyard of Tianlan Peak...
Yun Cong, Mu Yun, and Mo Qingyue were all staring intently at Xu Sheng before them!
They had refrained from asking questions earlier out of respect for their master, but now that he had left, they naturally wanted to understand the whole story...
Yun Cong narrowed his eyes and said, "Junior Brother Xu, don't deceive us! How exactly did you manage to defeat several Nascent Soul Stage demon cultivators?"
Mu Yun nodded in agreement, adding, "Yeah! Don't try to brush it off with that martial technique, we know it has side effects. You already fainted during the competition among the five peaks last time!"
Mo Qingyue's beautiful eyes twinkled a few times as she earnestly said, "Junior Brother Xu, tell us the truth."
Xu Sheng hesitated for a few seconds before speaking gravely, "Senior Brother, Senior Sisters, do you... really want to know?"
The eyes of the three disciples shone eagerly as they nodded and urged, "Yes!!!"
Xu Sheng said with a hint of jest, "Actually, after Senior Sister Gu and I encountered those Demon Cultivators, we were utterly defenseless. But suddenly, an extremely strong cultivator appeared. He saw that my bones were extraordinary and that I had an exceptional talent, and helped us by slaying those Nascent Soul stage Demon Cultivators!"
This explanation clearly contradicted what he had said earlier; surely Yun Cong and the others wouldn't believe it, right?
However, he guessed wrong!
All three, including Gu Cong, had a contemplative look in their eyes, as if considering whether this explanation made sense.
After a while, Yun Cong had an epiphany and said, "So that's how it is, I was wondering how Junior Brother Xu and the others survived the siege of several Nascent Soul stage experts, so that's why!"
Mu Yun then said with envy on his face, "Junior Brother Xu, I'm afraid the high-ranking individual you encountered possesses the terrifying strength of the Divinity Transformation stage, which is equivalent to the Xuantian Sect Sect Master's cultivation level!"
Mo Li said, "Even our master is only at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage! He has never broken through to the Divinity Transformation stage. I didn't expect that you, Junior Brother Xu, actually met a Deity Transformation Realm expert. Perhaps this is just luck!"
Xu Sheng: "..."
Alright then, whatever you say! As long as I bluffed my way through it!
Just then, a clear, ethereal voice came in, "It seems you're having quite the lively discussion!"
Yun Churan, wearing a light blue robe that perfectly outlined her figure, walked in with a cold expression...
Yun Cong's face turned solemn, and he said in unison, "Master!"
Yun Churan glanced at Yun Cong and the others, then turned to Xu Sheng and said, "Xu Sheng, come out with me! I have something to ask you!"
After speaking, she turned around with her usual aloofness and walked out...
Xu Sheng smiled bitterly in his heart and followed her out...
Sure enough, I couldn't keep it a secret from Yun Churan!
...
Outside on the spacious grounds of Tianlan Peak!
Yun Churan's icy blue eyes stared at Xu Sheng before her, and she said in a cold tone, "Xu Sheng, you should know that the explanation you just gave won't fool me, right?"
Xu Sheng replied without changing his expression, "Yes, Master! I never intended to hide it from you."
Yun Churan's chilly face softened slightly as she pressed, "Then tell me, how exactly did you defeat those Demon Cultivators? Or did you hide something..."
She was reluctant to suspect her own disciple and believed in Xu Sheng's character, but the whole affair was too mysterious!
Xu Sheng remained calm and said, "Master, in truth, my cultivation level isn't at the Foundation Establishment Stage, but the Nascent Soul Stage!"
Surprise flickered in Yun Churan's beautiful eyes, "What??"
Before she could ask further, Xu Sheng chose to release his seal.
"Second Layer Seal, release!"
Xu Sheng's cultivation began to rise terrifyingly fast, and in an instant, reached the shocking level of the Nascent Soul Stage!
But compared to Yun Churan across from him, who was at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Stage, he was still slightly weaker.
Feeling the spirit force fluctuation coming from Xu Sheng, Yun Churan couldn't help but purse her tender lips...
She inwardly mused, "So my disciple has been concealing his true strength all along? At the bone age of only sixteen, yet he's reached the terrifying Nascent Soul Stage."
Then the martial technique he mentioned for improving cultivation was also a lie!
What kind of monster did she, Yun Churan, take on as a disciple?
