Chapter 2126: Someone is Stirring Up Trouble Behind the Scenes

~6 min read 1,191 words

"Sigh... everything is my fault. If I hadn't kept indulging him, he wouldn't have turned out so bad."

Tuoba Qian'er said with a long sigh.

"Hehehe... it seems you have also realized your mistake. However, you don't need to blame yourself. If a person is rotten to the core, then even if someone grooms them from a young age, they will eventually turn bad one day. Everything, in the end, depends on the person themselves."

Murong Zhantian said.

If one were to ask whether Murong Zhantian hated Tuoba Jingren, the answer would certainly be yes. If not for him, Murong Zhantian would not have had so many troublesome matters. Sometimes, he truly wished he could just kill the other party directly.

But the current Murong Zhantian did not wish for that. After all, if Tuoba Jingren were to truly die, then Tuoba Qian'er would feel guilty for the rest of her life.

"Whether it is for your sake or for others, I must give everyone an explanation. I have my reasons for demoting him to the Outer Pavilion; I want him to truly experience how difficult it is to be a person. Otherwise, with his personality, growing up in such an environment, he would surely end up very miserably," Tuoba Qian'er said.

"That's fine. In any case, you have done what you should have. If he is truly incorrigible and seeks his own death, then it has nothing to do with you. Therefore, from now on, you can completely set down the heavy stone in your heart," Murong Zhantian said.

"I was able to rank among the Ten Chosen Children in such a short time not just because of my talent; it is because I am also very clever. So, how could I not know what you are talking about?"

"But you probably don't know why I was able to use such ruthless methods today, do you?" Tuoba Qian'er said.

"What else could it be? Surely it's because you couldn't tolerate it anymore, right?"

"As the saying goes, the deeper the love, the deeper the hate. Once love turns into hate, the consequences are immeasurable," Murong Zhantian said.

"No, you are wrong. I am not like that!" Tuoba Qian'er said.

"Oh? Could it be that this all has something to do with me? It wouldn't be because you have taken a fancy to me, would it?" Murong Zhantian said.

"Get lost, the ghosts would fancy you."

"I'm done talking to you, bye-bye!"

Saying this, Tuoba Qian'er immediately stood up, intending to leave this place.

"Hey, I say, girl, can you stop leaving me hanging? Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep tonight," Murong Zhantian asked, chasing after her.

"It has nothing to do with me. I'm off, I'll come find you when I have time."

Following that, with a flash, Tuoba Qian'er completely disappeared from sight.

"This brat, fine, fine, forget it if you won't tell me." Seeing that Tuoba Qian'er had disappeared, Murong Zhantian also returned the way he came, heading toward his residence.

However, to Murong Zhantian's surprise, although the people gathered outside his residence were not as numerous as before, there were still quite a few, and even elders like Long Ao'zhi had returned.

And the reason why so many people were gathered here again was not because of Tuoba Qian'er, but because of Fei Qiuyu.

It was precisely because of this that elders like Long Ao'zhi had returned once more. When they saw this person arrive, their expressions became grave again.

Whether in terms of talent or cultivation realm, Fei Qiuyu was far inferior to Tuoba Qian'er, but the backing Fei Qiuyu possessed was not a bit weaker than Tuoba Qian'er's.

And because Murong Zhantian had once saved Tuoba Qian'er, and she herself could no longer tolerate Tuoba Jingren's evil deeds, a storm had quickly calmed down.

However, given Fei Qiuyu's personality, it was impossible for this matter to be settled just like that.

The incident that happened at the Cultivation Hall that day had already spread like wildfire, so when the crowd saw his arrival, they had already guessed his purpose for coming.

And in order not to let this matter blow up, as soon as Long Ao'zhi arrived here, he did not focus his attention entirely on Fei Qiuyu, but rather on the direction where Murong Zhantian and Tuoba Qian'er had disappeared.

What for? It was to prevent Murong Zhantian's arrival at the first opportunity.

And Long Ao'zhi's painstaking efforts were not in vain; just as he focused all his attention in that direction, a familiar figure finally appeared within his sensing range. It was indeed Murong Zhantian, who had just returned after parting ways with Tuoba Qian'er.

Immediately, Long Ao'zhi used a sound transmission technique to tell Murong Zhantian not to come over under any circumstances, to go as far away as possible, and to return only after the matter had subsided.

However, it would have been better if Long Ao'zhi hadn't said that. As soon as Murong Zhantian heard Long Ao'zhi's words, he knew that something must have happened over there, and it was related to him. If even people like Long Ao'zhi were alarmed, it meant this must be a major event.

And in order not to implicate the entire C Pavilion, Murong Zhantian not only did not leave, but with a few flashes, he arrived right in front of Fei Qiuyu.

"I wondered who it was. So it's you!"

Seeing Fei Qiuyu's figure, Murong Zhantian said indifferently.

"Yo? I thought you had already slipped away, but I didn't expect you to dare to come back? You've got guts."

"However, you probably know that even if you wanted to escape, with your ability, you still couldn't leave the Qiongxiao Pavilion. And with my capabilities, as long as you are within the Qiongxiao Pavilion, finding you is just a matter of minutes."

"How about it? Is it time for you to kowtow and admit your mistake to me?"

Fei Qiuyu looked at Murong Zhantian with a look of contempt.

Seeing Fei Qiuyu's unrelenting gaze, the expressions of Long Ao'zhi and the others turned sour, and the surrounding crowd began to whisper among themselves.

They were all very clear about the matter between these two. If Murong Zhantian could break the record held by Lord Tianmang of Mo Hanyuan, then Fei Qiuyu would not only have to apologize to Yan Shuangfei, but also be at his disposal.

Of course, if Murong Zhantian could not do it, then he would have to kowtow and admit his mistake to Fei Qiuyu.

Now, Mo Hanyuan's training had already been announced as completely finished, but what about Murong Zhantian? He had not broken the record held by that Lord Tianmang, which meant that Murong Zhantian had lost their bet. And if he lost, he had to kowtow and admit his mistake.

And to kowtow in front of so many people, for anyone, was a tremendous humiliation. Even if one's skin were thick, it is estimated that from then on, one would never dare to appear in public again, and it might even leave a shadow on one's soul.
