Chapter 254: Qin Wentian Scheme (I)

[Host, System is not a god. There isn't anything like this.]

Ye Tian Yun frowned, "Well, I remember you did brag about being a supreme system or something. It looks like you were just bluffing."

[Host, you need to understand that this is Emblem System, not any random Shortcut-to-peak System]

"An Emblem System? Why are you called an Emblem System? Because you help me in my quest for the emblems and token?"

[Indeed, Host.]

"Then why are you not helping me? Giving me puppets would help me get through this problem, you know?"

[Host, you do not understand the true objective of the System]

[Yes, It wants to help you. But does it have a shortcut for you? NO.]

"Haven't you been giving me shortcuts ever since you 'initiated' after I woke up a few months back?"

[Host, there are unsaid and unwritten restrictions that the System must follow. Sometimes its reactions might seem to contradict the previous actions. However, it is all due to the unwritten rules that System must follow.]

"Unwritten rules?" Ye Tian Yun couldn't help but roll his eyes. He wasn't going to believe the bullshit by the system, but did he have any other choice? Arguing anymore wasn't going to take this conversation anywhere. Thus Ye Tian Yun dropped this topic.

'I can only hope that they don't come together. It will be so troublesome.'

…

"Let's go together." 

In the Blue Wind Courtyard, Qin Wentian's cold voice echoed.

Sitting on the main seat in the hall, he had a deep frown over his face.

Right now, he was going through a weird mixture of emotions - anger, annoyance, amusement, indifference, and a few indescribable others.

All this was because they had just been told to visit a disciple if they wanted to interrogate him.

For the last month, ever since the day Qin Wentian had stepped in the Sect, this was the second time he had felt irritated, and the same person did all this - Sect Leader Su Ming.

Shi Yi, who was standing beside him, tried to calm him, "Senior Brother, there's no need to waste your time on this. Just let me do everything and have some rest."

Qin Wentian shook his head, "You don't need to go alone. I will come with you. Let's see what is so special in this disciple."

Shi Yi couldn't help but sigh, "Senior Brother, please appease your anger and think from your brain."

She continued after a short break as she noticed Qin Wentian's frowning face turning towards her.

"Ahem, Senior Brother, do you remember the day we both came to the Sect Leader Su? How was he indifferent and uncaring about our background? And then he showed his background, which proved a lot about his arrogance."

"It showed that unlike other cultivators of the Lower Heavens, he doesn't fear disciples of our background - and this time, I am pretty sure he just wants to see you feel humiliated."

Silence prevailed in the hall as Qin Wentain fell into his thoughts.

After a few minutes, he asked, "If he's using this just to have some fun, there's no need to give him the chance of having the last laugh."

Suddenly an idea formed in his head, and with narrowed eyes, he said, "Since that guy is so proud of this disciple Fang Chen, there's definitely a chance for us to exploit this relationship."

After a moment of pause, he continued, "We will frame Fang Chen for the murder of Kang Bai."

Shi Yi was quite surprised to hear this but didn't say anything else and just nodded her head.

Qin Wentian continued, "If we put the blame of murder on him, I am pretty sure things will be pretty interesting. And I would love to see this Sect Leader's face when that happens."

Shi Yi couldn't help but ask, "What if they don't believe our word? In fact, why would they believe us without proof?"

Qin Wentian let out a small laugh, "You forget your own identity."

"What do you mean?" She asked in a confused tone.

"We're the Heavenly Oracle Sect. We don't need proof. Our words are the proof." Qin Wentian replied with  a voice full of conviction.

And then he continued, "However, this will also be a good chance for us to get something out of him."

Seeing Shi Yi's confused expression, Qin Wentain explained, "Now that Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun is confirmed to be in the Middle Heavens, don't forget what our new objective is. And other than that, don't forget what that disciple from the Ninth Peak told us."

"Which disciple?" Shi Yi couldn't remember anyone specific.

Qin Wentain narrowed his eyes as he described the disciple, "The one from a league called Heavenly League… didn't he say something like being the right-hand man of the League Head?"

"Ah, yes." Shi Yi nodded her head, "The guy who was very jealous of a new top disciple, right?"

Qin Wentain nodded his head, "And that top disciple is none other than Fang Chen - the guy who we're told to visit if we wish to interrogate any more disciples."

"Oh, yes," Shi Yi nodded her head. She had forgotten that this disciple was ranked number one in one of the recent tournaments.

She continued, "Senior Brother, I think I remember now. That day it was pretty late, and there weren't any disciples that were supposed to come. It was at that time our door was knocked, and that disciple introduced himself."

Qin Wentian nodded his head; this was actually what he had remembered.

After a moment of silence, Shi YI said, "It was this disciple who had tried his best to entice against Fang Chen, and when none of his plans seemed to work out - he spitted a big secret - disciple Fang Chen was cultivating at a very good speed, and he will be there for about a month."

Qin Wentian nodded his head and sneered while replying, "Isn't that the exact thing we're looking for?"
