Chapter 115: Passing the Buck! Lao Tianshi and the Company

The three old men, whose combined ages exceeded three hundred, stared at each other.

Lu Jin pointed at Fang Dongtian, speechless.

Lao Tianshi squinted at Fang Dongtian.

"Mm, I remember now, that's exactly it. You know how it is, once a person gets old, they get muddled easily, so I just forgot what I said."

Fang Dongtian said with a serious face.

As for the other two, watching Fang Dongtian spout nonsense with such a straight face, they were completely numb.

"Then what if the one who did it wasn't Lin Xuan?"

Lu Jin spoke gloomily.

"Ah? Then just pretend I never said anything."

Fang Dongtian answered very earnestly.

"Truly worthy of the thick-skinned tradition of the Dao Sect. Old Lu here has learned something new today. Let's go, let's go, hurry and see if that guy Wang Ai has been beaten to death!"

Lu Jin turned and walked away as he spoke.

"He shouldn't be dead; he still had breath when that junior reported just now!"

Hearing this, Lao Tianshi walked side by side with Lu Jin.

Fang Dongtian followed behind the two with his hands behind his back, a look of confusion on his face.

What was going on?

He felt that it was eight or nine parts likely that his own junior was the one who did it.

But why?

Fang Dongtian couldn't figure it out either, but that didn't stop him from taking the blame first.

By the time the three old men arrived, the other Ten Elders had also arrived.

Xu Si and a few others from the Company also followed Lin Xuan down, though they didn't see Lin Xuan's figure.

Those juniors had been driven away first.

Lv Ci stroked his chin, his expression shifting between light and shadow.

There was no need to ask to know who the culprit was.

He actually really did it.

Even he was three parts wary of Wang Ai's Spirit Painting techniques; now that he had been beaten to the point where he was taking in more air than he was letting out, if his foundation hadn't been quite solid, he would probably be dead by now.

The expressions of Feng Zhenghao and Guan Shihua were somewhat strange.

As for the other three, they were completely bewildered.

Na Ruhu, Chen Jinkui, and Mu You were all stunned at this moment.

Everything was fine just a moment ago, and now, on Longhu Mountain, someone had been beaten half to death?

Who had such guts?

It couldn't have been the Tianshi who did it, could it?

On the contrary, the group of juniors standing in the distance who still wanted to watch the spectacle had learned the sequence of events from others.

"This person really has guts, attacking one of the Ten Elders on Longhu Mountain."

Wang Ye crossed his arms, looking moved.

"Indeed, very gutsy. But Old Wang, what do you think the outcome will be?"

Zhuge Qing asked with some curiosity.

Although they hadn't fought yet, as fellow practitioners of the arts, they got along well enough.

"How would I know? But this is no small matter. The Ten Elders don't just hold the status of Ten Elders; there are other implications."

"Then what do you think about that person?"

"Nothing will happen to him either. There aren't many who can afford to provoke that person. Even the Company probably wouldn't provoke him easily. In my opinion, this person just had to take the beating; either he finds a way to get back at him himself, or the matter will just end like this."

Wang Ye speculated.

As for what level Lin Xuan was at now, he couldn't imagine it anyway.

In any case, he was very powerful.

On the other side, Lu Linglong and her friends were stunned.

"Linglong, was this old man from the Wang Family really beaten by your senior brother?"

"I don't know!"

Lu Linglong said subconsciously upon hearing this.

Although she had heard from Lu Jin that Wang Ai was not a good person, as one of the Ten Elders, he at least had to have considerable strength and status.

"Then what should we do? Your senior brother has done such a big thing. Why don't you secretly notify him and have him run away quickly!"

Zhi Jinhua said with some worry.

"Ah?"

Lu Linglong widened her eyes.

"That wouldn't be good, would it?"

"If he doesn't run now, he won't be able to."

Bai Shixue also nodded with a serious expression.

However, her eyes were full of excitement; this trip was worth it.

"Wait, the Tianshi is coming."

Watching Lao Tianshi, Lu Jin, and Fang Dongtian approach together, Er Gou hurriedly reminded them.

Then Lu Linglong and the others all quieted down.

The others also quieted down.

"What are you still standing there for?"

Lao Tianshi walked over, took one look at the half-dead Wang Ai, his eyelids twitched, and he spoke up to scold them.

Several Daoists from Longhu Mountain looked bewildered.

Does Shiye mean he intends to dispose of the head of the Wang Family?

Wouldn't that be inappropriate?

"Still haven't called an ambulance to take him to the hospital?"

Lao Tianshi added, and the Daoists suddenly realized and hurried off to make the call.

Xu Si and the others were huddled together, discussing the current situation.

Zhang Chulan was stunned.

It was precisely because he knew the status of the Ten Elders that he had been keeping a low profile.

Yet now, look at this: one of the Ten Elders, whom he had previously deemed untouchable, had ended up like this.

That person really has guts.

Isn't this being a bit too reckless?

"What did Zhao Zong say?"

Watching Xu San walk back, Xu Si's expression was serious.

"Zhao Zong is waiting to see the decision from Longhu Mountain, but this matter is a bit strange; Zhao Zong didn't seem too surprised, perhaps he had anticipated that something like this might happen."

Xu San's expression was strange.

Xu Si and Lao Liao exchanged a glance, then turned to look at Lao Tianshi, Lu Jin, and the third person.

Of course, their attention was also on Fang Dongtian.

"Damn, this kid hit him that hard?"

Lu Jin looked at Wang Ai's injuries and widened his eyes.

His entire head was deformed.

Was he aiming to beat him to death?

Ever since Lin Xuan appeared, Wang Bing had reverted to his previous cowering state; seeing Lao Tianshi now, he gathered his spirits, but as his eyes shifted, he saw Fang Dongtian.

Wang Bing still felt that this Daoist from Baiyun Guan was someone he had met before, after all.

He swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue and squeezed out a dry sentence.

"Please, Tianshi, make the call!"

Lao Tianshi was truly having a headache at this moment.

This kind of situation was unexpected.

Moreover, what exactly happened between Wang Ai and Lin Xuan was still unclear.

Just as he had arrived, a junior had already informed him that it was Lin Xuan who did it, and he had even appeared and admitted it himself.

But since Wang Ai was beaten like this on Longhu Mountain and was invited to attend the Luo Tian Grand Ritual, Longhu Mountain could not stand by and watch, both in terms of reason and sentiment.

"Take your great-grandfather to the hospital first."

Lao Tianshi glanced at Wang Ai and sighed as he spoke.

Hearing this, Wang Bing felt even more panicked.

The Wang Family had always centered around Wang Ai, and now that Wang Ai was half-dead, he suddenly felt lost.

"Old Fang!"

Lao Tianshi looked at Fang Dongtian.

Fang Dongtian also knew that it was somewhat unjustifiable to start a fight on Longhu Mountain this time, but he couldn't show weakness on the surface.

In any case, he felt that Lin Xuan wouldn't attack Wang Ai without reason, unless Wang Ai had provoked him.

As for that time at the Lu family four years ago, Fang Dongtian felt that Lin Xuan wouldn't take it to heart.

To strike this hard now, there must be other reasons.

Thinking of this, Fang Dongtian turned to leave.

"Tianshi, you handle things here first, I'm heading back."

Saying this, without waiting for Lao Tianshi to reply, Fang Dongtian turned and left.

Xu Si and the others approached.

"What does the Company say?"

Lao Tianshi felt troubled and decided to pass the buck to the Company.

"Old man, this happened on Longhu Mountain; Zhao Zong said to leave it to you to handle."

As soon as Xu Si said this, Lao Tianshi's expression stiffened.

Truly an old fox; he had actually welded the goal shut.
