Chapter Twenty-Two: Cultivation

  Qin Hao returned to his small hut and began to comprehend the Tai Xuan Lian Ti, preparing to break through the Master Realm. As for Fang Xue and Li Chen's affairs, he didn't need to bother with them.

  Mingyue Peak is now jointly managed by Second Sister Qingxuan and Fang Xue. During the routine morning class, Fang Xue didn't show up, and Qingxuan was originally delighted because she could give orders for all sorts of big and small matters. However, those direct subordinates of Fang Xue disagreed.

  Qing Xuan was originally inferior to Fang Xue, and although Master said they were in charge together, her power and strength were both lower than Fang Xue's. She had no choice but to send someone to invite Fang Xue over.

  "Sister Shifu, you're usually here very early every day. Why are you late today? Did something happen?" Little Jade cursed.

  Qingxuan sat on the main seat, her lips lightly sipping a mouthful of immortal tea. Her beautiful eyes shone with a hint of light, and it had to be said that Qingxuan was absolutely a beauty, her looks even surpassing Fang Xue's. However, as long as Mingyue Xiang was around, she would probably never become the most beautiful woman in Mingyue Peak.

  "Hmph, I don't want to get involved in her affairs, Master Fa will understand on his own." Qing Xuan thought for a moment, she naturally knew about the situation between Fang Xue and Li Chen, after fighting for so many years, they were well aware of each other's strengths and weaknesses. There was a saying that the person who understands you best in this world is not your best friend, but your greatest enemy.

  In Qin Hao's words, Fang Xue and Qing Xuan were destined to be enemies from the start. Unless one of them dies, no matter where they go, they will always meet and fight each other. There is an old Chinese saying that "enemies have narrow roads", which actually means that two people who are destined to be enemies will always meet wherever they go, this is inescapable. On a deeper level, this is called cause and effect.

  "What the senior sister meant was that the great senior sister is currently......" The rest of the words were not spoken by Xiaoyu, fearing that if she was heard by the people on the side of the great senior sister, they would have an excuse to cause trouble again.

  "It's fine as long as we understand each other, no need to say it out loud." Qing Xuan said lightly, her heart seemingly thinking of something.

  "Does Shifu have something on her mind?" It seemed like Xiaoyu had noticed.

  "You're clever." Qing Xuan smiled and said, "I was thinking of Jing Xuan."

  "That good-for-nothing!!! As soon as she thought of Qin Hao, Xiaoyu got angry: "Sister, what do you want this fool to do? You won't......"

  "What's Hu guessing? I was just thinking, where did Master hide him?" Qingxuan said.

  "I think he's gone, Master has been protecting him so much, now that he's in seclusion, he definitely won't let him stay in the Mystic Gate. What I'm curious about is how Master can make this entire sect remember this waste run away." Little Jade wondered.

  "Hmm." Xiaoyu reminded him, and Qingxuan suddenly thought of the thing that happened yesterday. He thought to himself: "Could it be that he spent his vital energy to create a concealment talisman for me? That means, he was also behind that matter."

  At this time, Qingxuan's idea was that if Qin Hao knew about it, he would definitely be shocked. This woman was indeed clever, and the entire sect hadn't thought of Qin Hao's useless body, but she had thought of it. In fact, compared to Fang Xue, Fang Xue's heart was more poisonous, while Qingxuan had good intentions. She rarely bullied Jingxuan in the past, first because she knew that bullying was useless and would incur Master's hatred, although Master wouldn't say anything on the surface, but he would understand it in his heart.

  The second reason is probably due to her family environment when she was young, thinking of this, Qing Xuan couldn't help but feel a surge of kind thoughts in her heart. However, Qin Hao, this piece of trash, was too valuable to be killed off so easily - killing him would grant one the favor of Heaven's Way, and bring great fortune on their cultivation path. Even those high-ranking elders couldn't resist, which is why saying Qin Hao was like a "Tang Monk meat" was quite apt - many demons and monsters had their eyes on him.

  "Alas." Qing Xuan sighed.

  "What's wrong with Shijie? Doesn't that good-for-nothing feel empty?" Xiaoyu joked, she was the one who troubled Jingxuan the most on a daily basis. It could be said that if they didn't see each other for a day, it felt like three autumns had passed. If she didn't hit Qin Hao, her heart wouldn't feel comfortable, even if Qingxuan advised against it, it was useless. Sometimes people's nature is just like this, a slight difference in thought can create two different people.

  "Hehe, don't go looking for trouble with him in the future, Master knows." Qingxuan reminded, although she knew Xiaoyu wouldn't listen, she still did it, doing her best to do so.

  Just then, the junior sister who had gone to invite the senior sister returned, panting and saying: "It's bad, it's bad, Second Senior Sister, something big has happened."

  "Don't be in a hurry, speak slowly." Qing Xuan said calmly and naturally, exuding an air of authority.

  "Master Sister is dead!!!" The junior sister swallowed her saliva and finally said a sentence that shocked the entire Mingyue Hall.

  When Qing Xuan led everyone into Fang Xue's room, her face suddenly flushed red. She was dead, really dead.

  But this corpse is a bit too ugly, the two are naked... not to mention their bodies, they are tightly embracing each other, and the room is filled with a strange smell. The rest of the female disciples are even more so, while the face of the eldest sister's lineage is pale white. They don't have any feelings for Fang Xue, but rather think about what they will do after Fang Xue dies.

  Qing Xuan will naturally become the great master, and at that time, the entire Mingyue Peak will be under Qing Xuan's control. Thinking of their usual attitude towards Qing Xuan, they suddenly became uneasy.

  Why did you die so early, Fang Xue?

  If Fang Xue knew the thoughts of these people, she would probably be so angry that her soul would fly away. Not to mention getting a single tear, they even blamed her for it. This is the difference between friends.

  As the second sister, Qingxuan had a responsibility to investigate clearly. She suppressed her girlish shyness and walked over, gently turning the man's head around. One look left her stunned, although she already had an answer in her heart, she still felt a jolt. The female disciples in the room also stared blankly when they saw that it was Li Chen - wasn't this the arrogant second young master from usual?

  Relying on his father being Li Gang, he has been acting recklessly, and now he has finally gotten his retribution. However, some people are pointing their fingers at Qingxuan, saying that the two deaths were too suspicious, and Master is not around, so it's hard to guarantee that Qingxuan didn't do it for the position of Big Sister.

  "Second sister, you must be thrilled this time." A female disciple stepped out and sneered, Mingyue Peak's third sister, a master of the highest level. With just one turn of her eyes, she thought of pushing all the blame onto Qingxuan. If it was indeed Qingxuan who did it, then she would become the new head sister from now on.

  "What do you mean?" Little Jade retorted.

  "Xiao Yu, step down." Qing Xuan spoke up, Xiao Yu still wanted to say something, but Qing Xuan said: "Didn't you hear my words?"

  Upon hearing this, Xiaoyu glared at San Shijie and retreated, but San Shijie pressed on aggressively: "Qingxuan, you're feeling guilty, aren't you? Li Chen and Eldest Shijie are both dead, so now the position of Eldest Shijie belongs to you."

  With a "slap", Qing Xuan slapped the Third Master Sister in front of everyone's astonished gaze, leaving her dizzy and disoriented. Just as the Third Master Sister was about to say something, Qing Xuan angrily said: "This slap is for you being disobedient and overstepping your bounds, did I ask you to call me?"

  "Three Shifu was speechless, especially when Qing Xuan displayed the cultivation of a famous master's realm, Three Shifu didn't dare say anything."

  "Has your head grown on a pig's body? Didn't everyone notice the aura of the formation here? Moreover, Master Sister and Li Chen had an illicit relationship from the beginning, now this appearance everyone has also seen, most importantly, did everyone forget what happened yesterday?" Qing Xuan spoke word by word, clear and powerful.

  "It's true, it's true. Yesterday Li Chen did such a thing and today he died here. It's clear that the two of them were doing something improper and had a big fight." Xiaoyu chimed in, and as soon as she mentioned yesterday's events, Xiaoyu became angry, and all the female disciples felt the same way, suddenly speaking with one voice.

  "Second sister, what should we do now?" A younger sister disciple timidly said: "Master is not here, if the people from Star Peak come to cause trouble, then we..."

  Her words suddenly made everyone panic, Xing Feng's momentum was too great. If Master were here, he would not be afraid, but Xing Feng had three Supreme Elders sitting in town, while Ming Yue Peak did not have one, and one of them was Li Chen's grandfather. Now that Li Chen died on Ming Yue Peak, everyone on the entire peak could not escape responsibility.

  "It doesn't matter, notify the Law Enforcement Pavilion first, and then notify Xing Feng. I think the pavilion master of the Law Enforcement Pavilion will handle it impartially." A disciple of a famous master had died, which was a big deal for the Mystic Door, as there were only a few disciples of famous masters to begin with.

  Qing Xuan's words immediately won over many people, and the Law Enforcement Hall became the most just place in the entire Xuanmen. Except for the Sect Master, the remaining eleven peaks of the Law Enforcement Hall were equal to the Supreme Elder, and even had the power to decide the life or death of the Supreme Elder.

  The news spread quickly throughout the Xuanmen, and the head of the Law Enforcement Hall came in person. He was a mature middle-aged man named Suo Dianfeng, who had reached the peak of his cultivation and was only one step away from achieving the Dao. His body exuded an aura that made people dare not look directly at him, like the judge of the underworld, controlling life and death. Soon, Li Gang also arrived, wailing and crying loudly, almost kowtowing to his son on the ground. More than a dozen elders inside the gate, including San Shang's three supreme elders, all came at the same time.

  "Mingyue Peak must give me an explanation for my son's death." Li Gang was furious, and with a wave of his hand, Fang Xue's corpse instantly turned to dust. He looked at all the disciples of Mingyue Peak with a gaze that seemed to want to kill them all.

  The prestige of Mingyue Peak's master made none of his disciples dare to look him straight in the eye, and some even trembled all over, apparently due to fear.

  "Li Gang, do you think I don't exist? You've destroyed Fang Xue's corpse, how am I supposed to investigate?" The head of the Law Enforcement Pavilion also burst out with a powerful aura, surpassing Li Gang. The head of the Law Enforcement Pavilion was well aware of Li Gang's cunning nature. His own son had died in such a mysterious and unjust manner on Mingyue Peak, and now Li Gang had destroyed the evidence, making it difficult for anyone to investigate. This way, no matter what, he would be in the right.

  "Hmph, Yang Gezhu's mighty prestige, shouldn't I be enraged that my grandson died here?" Li Xian's face was gloomy, although he was about to pass away, the majesty of a king still remained, and the difference between becoming a deity or not lay in this. Yang Gezhu's power was almost completely suppressed.

  "You can be angry, but you must be angry at the right person. The law enforcement agency doesn't need your interference. Li Gang, by destroying evidence and covering up the truth, are you trying to conceal the shameful things your son has done?" Yang had an unyielding spirit that would rather break than bend.

  "Do you want to die?" Li Xian was furious, Yang Gezhong was slapping him in the face, even if he was the head of the law enforcement hall, Li Xian was also the Supreme Elder, let alone the difference between their cultivation was like heaven and earth, in an instant he was about to make a move.

  "Stop." Just then, a voice rang out, and Li Xian immediately stopped.

  "Have seen the host."

  Everyone bowed, including Li Xian, although the master of the door was only a nominal guest, but Ri Feng represented the dignity of the master of the door, and four or five senior elders sat in attendance.

  The arrival of the master made everyone stop and gather at the main hall to investigate the whole thing. Of course, Qin Hao had nothing to do with it, no one would think that he was behind all this, but there was one person who thought differently, Qing Xuan. Thinking about yesterday's events and connecting them to today's, although Li Chen was beaten up yesterday, it didn't seem like a reason for him and Fang Xue to be at each other's throats.

  And besides, there was no reason for them to do so. Qing Xuan thought to herself: "Could it be him again? Should I tell the sect leader?"
