Capítulo 14: Chapter 9 The Value of the Thigh_2
Elder Bai was livid with rage: "Boy, say that again."
Ji Changsheng generously obliged: "I suggest we drag this idiot who's spreading rumors and behead him. Keeping him around will only bring down the average standard of the Mystic Temple. Even a pig knows that I would never be a spy for the Sky Devil Sect."
Elder Bai was furious beyond words: "Boy, do you even know who I am?"
Ji Changsheng didn't have a clue.
However, he did remember what this guy looked like.
Given his rate of cultivation, it wouldn't take long for him to take this guy down.
From the moment he walked in, this guy had been looking at him with undisguised murderous intent.
Ji Changsheng didn't know what he'd done to earn this guy's grudge, but it didn't matter.
Why care about a dead man's business?
Ji Changsheng simply said calmly, "Just a dumbass that's beneath even a pig or a dog."
Everyone sucked in yet another cold breath.
The Master could barely bear to remind him, "Be mindful of what you say. This is Elder Bai."
The Master put special emphasis on "Bai".
Unfortunately, Ji Changsheng, being just a regular kid, hadn't heard about this guy.
Ji Changsheng didn't care in the slightest: "Whether he's Elder Bai or Elder Black, an idiot is an idiot"
Li Changxi may be mentally unstable, but her strength was still evident.
This guy was clearly trying to cause trouble for him.
So Ji Changsheng wasn't going to back down.
The more guilty he felt, the harder he needed to stand his ground.
The Master: "..."
He wouldn't dare speak out against the Bai Family this way.
This kid was truly brave.
Elder Bai was so angry he started laughing: "Good lad, I'll show you the strength of Bai."
Before he had even finished speaking, Elder Bai had launched his attack.
Then...
A flash of moonlight passed.
Blood drifted in the air.
Elder Bai's head appeared at Ji Changsheng's feet.
Li Changxi slowly withdrew her Crescent Blade, her tone increasingly impatient: "That's enough, my junior brother is one of the Heavenly Court's Six Majesties. Are you lot even qualified to interrogate him? Get lost."
Ji Changsheng was stunned.
Was this the kind of shelter a powerful ally could provide?
He was sold!
…
Li Changxi's sudden attack was completely unexpected for Ji Changsheng.
But that was understandable.
If a mentally ill person's actions could be predicted by normal people, then they wouldn't be considered mentally ill.
Ji Changsheng initially thought Li Changxi's sudden act of murder would earn her the hostility of the others.
But he keenly observed a trace of amusement in the Master's eyes that wasn't concealed.
Half of the others seemed to be reveling in the disaster too.
This led Ji Changsheng to quickly conclude that:
The Mystic Temple was not as peaceful as it seemed!
The waters of the Best Immortal Sect of the Righteous Path ran deep.
Die here, and it would probably be a death in vain.
Just as he had predicted.
As for Li Changxi's sudden act and her blatant hostility, the Master just helplessly shook his head and sighed, "Changxi, this makes things difficult for me. Even though you're in a special situation and Fairy Linglong has granted you the right to kill, the person you killed is, after all, Elder Bai."
Now, Ji Changsheng was filled with one thought:
Such a great favor can only be repaid with my body!
Did you hear what the Master just said?
Fairy Linglong gave Li Changxi the right to kill.
What's an influential ally?
This moment just revealed it all.
Ji Changsheng was deeply moved.
As long as he married Li Changxi, even if his identity as a spy for the Sky Devil Sect got revealed, there's a chance nothing would happen.
Li Changxi, unaware of Ji Changsheng's thoughts, knit her brows tighter, "So what if I killed someone from the Bai family? None of them are clean. Master, don't pretend, if you want to laugh, just laugh. You're the happiest that I killed this guy."
The Master's smile was somewhat stiff.
Speaking the absolute truth, aren't you?
"This guy deserved to die anyway. And what about you lot? All of you were just stirring up trouble for no reason. Do you seriously believe my junior brother is an undercover agent for the Sky Devil Sect?" Li Changxi scoffed, "You just wanted to use this as an excuse to suppress my junior brother, hoping to knock him down from his position as the top disciple of the Inner Sect, and then promote your own people. Isn't that right?"
Ji Changsheng blinked.
Did this happen?
He thought these people were really here to hold him accountable.
Turns out, they didn't really believe he was a spy for the Sky Devil Sect.
They were planning to frame him?
No longer able to keep silent, the Master coughed lightly and explained, "Changxi, choose your words carefully. I've always trusted Changsheng. We just need a reasonable explanation to convince the other disciples in the Temple."
Li Changxi sneered, "Why should my junior brother have to explain his actions to others? Even if he leaves a sea of blood wherever he goes, those who die all deserve to die. Who would need to investigate? It's just about power struggle. There are only two of us left in the Illusory Light lineage. Anyone who messes with my junior brother, I will kill their whole family."
"You…"
Another elder could no longer bear to listen, but Li Changxi's eyes held a killer's aura and a murderous glare.
That's the power of being mentally ill.
And dare to play with one?
The Master once again gave a light cough, "Changxi, we still need to follow the procedures. The Bai family will definitely file a complaint against you for unprovoked murder at the Discipline Hall. In the meantime, you're grounded in Moon Palace."
Li Changxi couldn't care less.
Nor did the Master pay any attention, he gave a few more instructions, and then left with the others.
Ji Changsheng mulled it over for a bit.
The Master's visit this time didn't seem too threatening and he even appeared quite...happy when he left, after being dismissed?
"Junior brother, are you curious about the Master's attitude towards me?"
Li Changxi guessed Ji Changsheng's curiosity.
Ji Changsheng thought to himself that Li Changxi's intelligence seemed to fluctuate between normal and crazy, he just couldn't quite figure it out.
