Hong Shan coldly glanced at Patriarch Zhen and pursed his lips into a silence.

If it wasn't for Xuan Cheng holding her arm and hinting her not to act rashly, with Hong Shan's temper, he would have definitely given this old fellow a few slaps to the face to vent her anger!

It was as he had said, 'If you have a father, then you must have a son.' …

I never thought that I, as a father, would be even more annoying than my son. I really don't know why father thinks so highly of Zhen Shuai.

However, when he thought of Zhen Shuai's miserable state now, the rising fury was slowly extinguished by the rising grief.

Forget it, forget it, just let him be!

It wasn't like he would lose something if he was scolded a bit by this old fellow.

With this thought in mind, Hong Shan didn't even shake Patriarch Zhen off as he unhappily looked at Shang Zifeng, waiting for his second words.

Shang Zifeng took a deep breath, steadied his mind, and explained: "It is true that there was a conflict between Junior Brother Zhen and disciple, and that the injuries on my body were caused by snowballs, but from the looks of it, Junior Brother Zhen's injuries were not fatal. No matter what you say, Junior Brother Zhen has also trained the Absolute Beginning Heavenly Dipper Incantation to the second layer, but the snowball … "

Actually, Shang Zifeng wanted to say: "And this snow ball is only a small beast pet. No matter how strong it is, can it be bigger than Du Ze and Zhen Shuai, the two people who were cultivating in the Way of the Dao? Besides, cultivators all had mystical Qi protecting them. How could they be so easily taken away by a beast? Wasn't it laughable to tell others about it? Furthermore, Snowball still understands human nature. Even if he was angrier and attacked with less restraint, his life would not be in danger. "

Later on, he might as well forget about it. This kind of cliche would only backfire on him.

Actually, even Shang Zifeng himself did not know the level of ability that Snowball had.

So, it would be better to not talk about it, and so he continued, "Although Junior Brother Zhen's injury on the surface was no different from when he left, his internal organs were all broken, and it was obvious that he was heavily injured in the chest or abdomen."

"Presumptuous, full of nonsense!" Hearing your words, it can't be that you think that Ze'er is afraid that his Junior Brother Zhen hasn't been... That thing was beaten to death, and my heart was unable to bear it for a while.

Xuan Cheng glared at Snowball, as if he wanted to say "animal".

When he saw the little guy staring at him with green eyes, his heart started beating faster. He couldn't say those two words, so he decided to say "beast" against his own will.

Changed to "thing"

Why had he lived for hundreds of years, yet he couldn't help but be confused. How could he be intimidated by such a small thing!

But even so, Xuan Cheng would never admit it, and could not help but to find a perfect excuse for himself.

What a joke, as a stately Yuxu Sect, how could he possibly quarrel with a little bastard?

Although the snowball was intelligent, it had not reached the level of being able to see through one's heart. It simply did not reject it, so it was naturally unable to detect any disdain in Xuan Cheng's eyes, but it did not escape from Shang Zifeng's eyes.

Ever since he had gone to Yuxu Sect, he had never liked the look of this Elder Xuan Ju. If not for Hong Shan's concern for him, the things that Xuan Cheng had said would probably be many times more unpleasant than it was now.

Hong Shan liked Dongfang Li, who was dressed as a man as a woman.

Everyone in the Yuxu Sect knew about this.

Many disciples were discussing in secret, some were even ridiculing each other, and even the gazes that they looked at Yao Shuang with were filled with enmity.

The more Hong Shan grew, the more beautiful she became, and the more slim she became. Especially in the past few years, the girl's figure had become even more perfect, attracting countless of young talents.

But such a beautiful peony flower was given birth by this Dongfang Li.

Who wouldn't be angry after being robbed?

But because of their anger, they did not dare to provoke Dongfang Li like they did with Shang Zifeng.

What a joke, what level is Dongfang Li at?

What was their rank?

He was one of them, and in a short period of time, he had made a breakthrough. With their strength, their talent and the degree of importance they received, how could they compare to Dongfang Li?

Thus, this jealousy could only be buried deep within his heart.

However, he had intentions to fall into a trap and was in a torrent of emotions. Towards Hong Shan's countless hints, Dongfang Li had never said a single word, and even maintained a casual relationship with him, causing many people to be even more puzzled.

The matter regarding Hong Shan and her, had similarly reached Xuan Cheng's ears.

However, he didn't have any intention of stopping her. This was because in his heart, as long as his daughter was happy, as long as she was happy, he would definitely not interfere with anything that she did, including her feelings.

This was something that many aristocratic families or even small families could not do.

Furthermore, Dongfang Li was naturally intelligent, and was on par with the genius Su Jingqi, a sight rarely seen in a thousand years. If his daughter was together with such a young genius, it would be a perfect home for her.

Ever since the Dao Sect's Ancestor, Shu He, had fallen, for thousands of years, no one had ever stepped into the Tao Break Stage, and it wasn't easy to meet people with talent like Dongfang Li and Su Jingqi, whom Xuan Cheng truly valued from the bottom of his heart.

In short, in Xuan Cheng's eyes, Dongfang Li's talent was by no means ordinary, if he cultivated it carefully, his future would be limitless!

It was just that, every time Xuan Cheng thought about it, he would sigh secretly. Who asked Dongfang Li to be his teacher, what kind of disciple would Ling Changfeng teach with his naughty kid's habits?

Xuan Cheng could not help but smile.

Furthermore, this brat had been messing around with that trash Shang Zifeng all day, afraid that he wouldn't be led astray by Shang Zifeng.

Although it was not forbidden for her daughter to interact with Dongfang Li and Shang Zifeng, but she still complained about it a little.

Seeing the glimmer in Xuan Cheng's eyes and the deep meaning behind his words, Shang Zifeng slightly raised his eyebrows, steadied his tone and emotions, and said: "Senior Master, if Junior Brother Zhen died because of this disciple, disciple would have no way of refuting it, and would have no way of denying it. However, if we were to say that it was the disciples of Junior Brother Zhen and Snow Ball who killed them, the disciples would not dare to disagree. As everyone knew, this disciple had only been in the for four years and had not entered the. His Absolute Beginning Heavenly Dipper Incantation was only at the first stage of cultivation and he did not have the ability to heavily injure Junior Brother Zhen to this extent. Therefore, as long as we prove that the fatal injury was not caused by Snowball, then we can return the innocence of our disciples and Snowball. So, this disciple is willing to accept the punishment for harming Junior Brother Zhen, but this disciple does not accept the crime of killing a fellow disciple! "

Seeing that Xuan Cheng was about to mock him, Shang Zifeng quickly continued: "In order to prove that this disciple's words are correct, this disciple humbly requests Junior Master to apply for an autopsy!"

He recalled the conclusion that Brother Dongfang came to after an exchange with him on their way here. The culprit must have killed Zhen Shuai because he acted in desperation, so there were two scenarios that could be inferred.

First, Du Ze had left before when he was escorting Zhen Shuai back. During that time, the Junior Brother Zhen encountered a scene that he should not have seen, so the murderer took advantage of this time to kill Zhen Shuai to prevent future troubles.

Thus, when Du Ze returned, he saw that Zhen Shuai had fainted due to severe injuries, and he did not suspect anything. After all, the injuries on Zhen Shuai's face had not changed at all, he only thought that he had been severely injured by Snowball, and this was how the misunderstanding came about.

But if this was the case, then Zhen Shuai was heavily injured at the time, and no one was there to support him, so he shouldn't have walked too far away. The location of the incident must have been near where Zhen Shuai and Du Ze were separated.

And why did Du Ze leave midway?

The second way was that Du Ze and the killer had worked together, and Du Ze was probably the culprit, so he intentionally let Zhen Shuai go so that he could lead the way. He purposefully left Zhen Shuai alive, with the intention of framing Shang Zifeng, and then caught him in the middle of a sneak attack by the demon.

If this point was true, then Du Ze's risky move would be worth pondering over.

In short, no matter which one it was, it was all very strange.

Although Zhen Shuai was barely breathing and did not care about the medicinal pills when he was carried to Xi Xuan by the Great Clan Elder, Xuan Cheng's Junior Master had said that he would definitely be able to keep him alive. As long as he took care of himself, even if his entire body was paralyzed, he would be able to wake up without a problem.

As long as Zhen Shuai woke up, if he could speak, he would definitely return Shang Zifeng's innocence. Although he would not get away with it, he wouldn't be reduced to a situation where he needed to pay with his life.

But now, Zhen Shuai had suddenly died, and was unable to speak, causing people to think deeply.

When he thought of this, Shang Zifeng couldn't help but sigh secretly. Although Junior Master Xuan Cheng was a clever man, he was also extremely muddle-headed. He didn't even think about it, and blamed all of the sins on himself.
