Master Fu does not envy immortals

Chapter 274
"Someone found out that Shangguan Tao is from Wuji Prison." Ji Cheyu whispered.

Jiang Qiongxing was silent for a moment, and choked out two words with a complicated expression: "That's it?"

Ji Cheyu suspected that she had never heard of this sect, and explained: "The Wuji Prison is a place with many evil cultivators..."

"I know," Jiang Qiongxing slapped the table a little angrily, "I just didn't expect that the academy would be like those old-fashioned so-called decent schools, and people would be convicted just because of their sect."

She had read the original book, so she naturally knew the true identity of Shangguan Tao.

But A Tao's nature is not bad. After the two of them got in touch, she deliberately guided them early and put the other party on the right track.As for the Infinity Prison, this sect with the same background board hardly appeared in the original plot, it just mentioned that Shangguan Tao was picked up by the people there when he was a child.

Can an abandoned baby still choose who will be picked up by himself?
"Of course it's not just this matter." Ji Cheyu continued, "After this incident happened, the academy did not express its position, but some disciples alienated Shangguan Tao."

Jiang Qiongxing snorted lightly: "Because of the name of a sect, I respect my fellow sects whom I have known for many years, and there is no need to associate with these people—A Tao definitely doesn't care about this."

Unexpectedly, Ji Cheyu didn't agree, and said in silence for a moment: "No... Within a few months, those disciples who showed disgust or alienation disappeared one after another when they went out; not long after, the disciple cards they left in the sect suddenly shattered, and the last pre-death images that appeared, without exception, contained Shangguan Tao."

Jiang Qiongxing was startled, and then quickly reacted, and slammed the table again: "Isn't this an obvious planting?"

Ji Cheyu held down the crumbling flagon on the table, and sighed: "Qianxing, not everyone believes in Shangguantao as firmly as you do."

Jiang Qiongxing took a deep breath, and said patiently, "Go on."

"As soon as this incident happened, the academy was in an uproar. In order to be fair, the dean invited out the Jian Mingyi and asked if the person in Shangguan Tao's image was her." Ji Cheyu paused, "She admitted."

Jiang Qiongxing closed his eyes.

"This matter has reached such a point that the originally neutral people have also begun to waver. Liang Weisheng is the only one left in the entire academy who still insists that Shangguan Tao is innocent." Ji Cheyu said, "The evidence is solid. According to the rules of the academy, the dean killed fellow disciples, and he will pay for his life. But Shangguan Tao did not do anything in the video. She also insisted that she did not know how these fellow disciples died, so she was sentenced to abolish her cultivation and was expelled from the academy after being beaten with a hundred sticks."

Jiang Qiongxing gasped lightly.

In a few words, she seemed to see the tragedy in front of her eyes.

Immortal cultivators who have just been abolished are weaker than ordinary people. In this situation, hitting another hundred sticks... is no different from killing someone.

Even more painful than death.

Unexpectedly, during the time of his retreat, such a big thing happened. Jiang Qiongxing clenched his five fingers tightly, and his nails stabbed his palm sharply.

"Fortunately, Shangguan Tao was carrying your reversal talisman on her body. After being expelled from the academy, Liang Weisheng and I immediately followed her secretly, trying to restore her to the state she was in before she was tortured." Ji Cheyu said, "So she is fine, don't worry too much."

"The wound can disappear, but the pain cannot be easily forgotten." Jiang Qiongxing gritted his teeth, "Where are the bodies of those dead disciples?"

"I don't know," Ji Cheyu shook his head, "I can't see where it is from the scene before death."

Jiang Qiongxing seemed to have expected it, and there was no sign of disappointment on his face: "Sure enough—where is Ah Tao now?"

Ji Cheyu shook his head again: "Even Wei Sheng couldn't get in touch with her, she seemed to be missing... Someone who listened to her had seen a similar woman near Wuji Prison, but when Wei Sheng went to look for her, she couldn't find her at all, and almost lost her life there."

Hearing this, Jiang Qiongxing asked: "Did Liang Weisheng leave the academy with Ah Tao?"

Ji Cheyu: "It's not that he quit the academy, but he firmly believes that Shangguan Tao was framed. He has been searching for clues to reverse her case outside these years, and rarely returns to the academy."

Well, still a man.

Jiang Qiongxing nodded, picked up the glass and drank it down, and said decisively: "I'll help him!"

"Do you have any guesses?" Ji Cheyu asked.

"I've been in seclusion for decades, so of course my eyes are black." Jiang Qiongxing spread his hands and said, "I just can't see A Tao being framed by a villain—the bodies of those victimized disciples have not been found, so why let the real culprit go free?"

She said that she was about to go out.

"It makes sense," Ji Cheyu agreed, getting up and grabbing her wrist, "I'll go with you."

Jiang Qiongxing looked at him: "No, you stay in the academy and watch over Huo Ye for me."

Ji Cheyu's eyebrows slowly frowned: "Qianxing, I really don't understand why you care so much about Brother Huo today."

Jiang Qiongxing can't say that the world consciousness is trying every means to make you die in his hands. Now that you two are twin infants, the time for the decisive battle in the book is not far away, so he can only vaguely say: "I have a hunch that he is doing something behind the scenes. You should keep an eye on him, in case I find the truth and come back, only to find out that the academy has changed hands."

"...It is true that many of the disciples who have just entered the academy these years follow him," Ji Cheyu thought for a while, and then let go of his hand, "Okay, I will wait for you at the academy."

Jiang Qiongxing, who was fiddling with the communication talisman, didn't notice his last pause. When she realized that Shangguantao hadn't been connected, she simply gave up: "Is Liang Weisheng in his shop? I'll go find him."

After speaking, he hurried to the Immortal Cultivator's Bazaar.

"Hey, wait..."

Ji Cheyu realized something and called her from behind, but the other party moved too fast and didn't stop, shaking his head helplessly.

Forget it.

It's not a big deal anyway.

Jiang Qiongxing didn't think about anything, and rushed all the way to the cultivator's market.

The scene in front of me has just changed into a spacious and bustling market street, with people coming and going, and the noise is endless.

The welcoming guide felt a new guest coming in, but before he could speak, his complexion changed suddenly.

Before Jiang Qiongxing could react, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and he knelt down a lot: "Welcome to Yuanying Zun!"

Jiang Qiongxing was stunned for a moment before realizing that they were kneeling on him, and hurriedly said: "No, get up, I just broke through, and the coercion is not stable yet, so I didn't intend to scare you."

How could she have forgotten that low-level cultivators accounted for the largest proportion in the world of cultivating immortals, and those above Nascent Soul would basically hold their own identities, either covering up their cultivation or appearing in front of each other.

A Nascent Soul like her who appeared in the Immortal Cultivator's Bazaar alone might not appear in a few years.

Seeing that the Yuanying Patriarch seemed to have a good temper, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and got up one after another.
