Chapter 202: So Human
The law enforcement disciples brought Chu Shen and the troublemaking disciples from Lingjian Peak back to the law enforcement prison. After interrogating them separately, they sent messages to their respective masters.
These few people then waited in the prison for further processing.
However, Chu Shen had some suspicions in his heart and did not wait obediently. He took out a spirit stone, threw it, and used the "Seventy-Two Transformations" transformation spell to turn it into a body that resembled his own. He lay in the cell as if he were sleeping.
He himself turned into a small bug and secretly made his way to the cells where several disciples from Lingjian Peak were being held.
This transformation technique was indeed exquisite. No one noticed that this small flying insect was actually Chu Shen in disguise. He sneaked into the place and what he saw was several groups of two people, each pair being held in adjacent cells, discussing matters related to him.
"This time, we were put in prison together with that Chu Shen. Although it's eight against one, it's not ideal. But at least we can vent our anger."
"Yeah, he has insulted our Lingjian Peak like this. We must make him suffer!"
"By the way, is this Chu Shen, number 24, having a conflict with our Lingjian Peak? How come he has such 'connections' with our peak every time?"
"Who knows? Anyway, I just want to beat him up. If I can't, it wouldn't be bad to make him lose his position as a prodigy. How can we let such an unscrupulous person become the face of our Langxuan Heavenly Palace?"
After listening to the angry words of the Lingjian Peak disciples, Chu Shen was quite puzzled. When did I insult your Lingjian Peak?
Just because of Bai Ying and Gong Liusu?
But that's not right!
Bai Ying was sent by your Lingjian Peak to serve at the Outer Ring Chongxue Peak. I just happened to become her temporary master due to a coincidence and the instigation of Shen Yingzi.
Gong Liusu was even more impressed by my strength after losing to me, and coveted the opportunity to cultivate together with me. He took the initiative to come to me, except for the first time when he was foolish, he later discovered that dual cultivation was effective, and even I was afraid of his proactive attitude during cultivation!
You guys, mere lackeys, what qualifications do you have to interfere in my personal matters?
After enduring for a while, I finally heard something useful amidst the emotions of envy and jealousy towards myself. These disciples from Lingjian Peak were indeed provoked by someone else to come and cause trouble for me halfway. However, this "someone else" is not from Lingjian Peak, but from Lingqi Peak, and is someone he has had a chance encounter with.
That's right, it's that Third Young Master.
Whether intentional or unintentional, when chatting with others in front of these fools, he spoke extremely unfavorably about Gong Liusu's proactive approach to the Chu family, and then recounted the entanglements between Chu and Lingjian Peak, such as the matter of Bai Ying accepting several female cultivators from the Sword Cultivation Academy as concubines during the Chongxue Gathering, and so on.
Scholars from the Sword Cultivation Academy who enter the inner palace are generally assumed to be from Lingjian Peak. On the contrary, the fact that Chu studied at the Alchemy Academy and was specially recruited as a disciple of the Langhuan Peak is considered unusual.
In short, it was originally a consensual matter, and Chu is not some kind of black-skinned or white-skinned beastly transformed creature. Upon careful consideration, it can only be regarded as an interesting anecdote. However, it was arranged by that Third Young Master to make it seem like Lingjian Peak was losing face, which ignited the anger of these few people. They didn't even bother with the Grand Competition and specifically went to cause trouble for him.
In other words, these fools were being used as pawns and didn't even realize it. They even thought they were helping Lingjian Peak regain its dignity, simply foolish beyond measure.
R.R.....
"Why did the Pan family do this?"
He is definitely not one of those muscle-headed idiots. Just by listening, you can tell that this young master is doing it on purpose.
Is it because he refused the opportunity for a transaction and wants to teach himself a lesson?
Or is it revenge for the Xiao family?
It can't be, right? Such a trivial matter is enough to hinder me from obtaining the identity of a genius disciple of the sect. Isn't he afraid of becoming mortal enemies with me?
While pondering, a sudden realization struck, and I quickly flew back to my own cell.
Sure enough, there was a law enforcement disciple outside the cell, undoing the prohibition seal and preparing to enter.
I collected the fake person made of crystal stones that I had laid out and disguised myself as if I had just woken up, looking at the incoming person with a confused expression.
The law enforcement disciple smiled and said, "You can still sleep peacefully. You really have a big heart. Go out, someone is here to speak for you."
Chu Shen jumped off the bed in one stride, somewhat surprised. Who came to help him so quickly?
Yan Shu? Impossible. That senior sister saint is someone who likes to ponder and is very slow.
The second senior brother with the title of saint? Also impossible. He is a cultivation maniac. I have heard of him for a long time but have never met him.
The third senior brother who I have a good relationship with? That guy can lend a hand, he was really helpful when dealing with the Xiao family, but doing this kind of meticulous work would be the death of him. He's probably out drinking somewhere...
After going through the people I know and have a good relationship with, those who can be called "master" or "senior," I sadly realized that Langhuan Peak is truly a gathering place for weirdos. I don't know how the holy master recruited this group of "treasures." I always feel that the future of Langhuan Heavenly Palace is worrying!
As a result, following the law enforcement disciples to meet, it turned out to be...
"Master Pan San, why is it you?"
The middle-aged second-generation rich man on the opposite side smiled: "I heard that Junior Brother Chu had a conflict with someone and was brought here by the law enforcement disciples for confinement. There is a possibility of missing the ranking battle of the Tianjiao. I happened to be nearby and came to assist on purpose. It can also be considered as a favor."
Chu Shen suddenly had a realization.
The foolish Lingjian Peak, which he had mocked, deserved its misfortune. Despite having a large number of people, they were suppressed in the inner court and cried out in pain. Their minds were completely muscle-bound. Even a second-generation rich man could easily manipulate them in the palm of his hand!
If he still didn't understand Master Pan San's intentions, he would be as foolish as those idiots from Lingjian Peak!
However, this "favor" created by the scheme couldn't be denied!
Chu Shen indeed had a conflict with a disciple from Lingjian Peak and was escorted to the law enforcement disciples' cell. If it weren't for Master Pan San's "timely" assistance, he might really miss the ranking battle of the Tianjiao. Although he could definitely maintain his position as an extraordinary Tianjiao, he would probably regret missing out on the official ranking of the Langhuan Heavenly Palace Tianjiao!
"Thank you, Master Pan San, for your 'help'!"
Chu Shen was itching to say this. He was certain that since Master Pan San had come to show his favor, he must have made corresponding preparations. If he didn't express his gratitude at this moment, it would be his own fault.
Master Pan San didn't know that Chu Shen had already seen through this small favor scheme. He just smiled and said, "I and Junior Brother Chu also feel a sense of camaraderie. It's just a small effort on my part to help. If Junior Brother Chu feels guilty, you can accompany me for a drink when you have time. It's nothing."
Is it really that simple?
Chu Shen was wary in his heart, but his face was full of smiles. "If I have the opportunity, I will definitely accompany you. I'm in a hurry to go to the ranking battle now, so please forgive me, Prince Pan."
