Master Fu does not envy immortals

Chapter 281 Revenge
Huo Ye almost blurted out and asked why the other party appeared in a place where he had explicitly ordered her not to come. Fortunately, when the words were about to come out, he couldn't help but put on a troubled look: "...What do you mean by that?"

Before the words were finished, two figures suddenly appeared from among the disciples, one from the left and the other from the right, and pressed City Lord Yumeng to the ground: "Where did you sneak in!"

"Bold! How dare you sneak into the academy!"

The lord of Yumeng City was clearly in the Nascent Soul stage, but he was stunned by the two Golden Core stages and couldn't move.

"Stop!" Jiang Qiongxing said, "This kind of thing is done by the Law Enforcement Hall. You are so active, do you mean you want to kill someone?"

The two disciples paused, looked at each other, let go reluctantly, and took a step back.

City Lord Yumeng stood up and glanced at Jiang Qiongxing.

Jiang Qiongxing's smile didn't change, and he happened to be looking at her too.

City Lord Yumeng seemed to hear the other party's voice again: "...everything about you has become his. To him, you are just a chess piece that can be discarded at will. If you don't believe me, you can see with your own eyes. If a catastrophe is imminent, will he abandon you without hesitation in order to protect himself..."

No, she doesn't believe that Huo Ye is that kind of person.

So here she is.

But the reality gave her a slap in the face.

The man who used to go to the clouds and rain with her, but at this moment looked at her with completely strange eyes.

There is even a hint of hostility in it.

Why!
Thinking of everything he owns - the huge cloud and smoke city, the countless treasures accumulated over generations... Now it is the other party's property, but he has become a burden that the other party can discard at any time... City Lord Yumeng can't restrain his anger.

That being the case, don't blame her for being ruthless!
Under the eyes of everyone, City Lord Yumeng sneered and said: "Young Master Huo, when you were ordered to hunt down the remnants of Kuangzheng and broke into my City Lord's Mansion, but used everyone for your own use, and let us fake death to deceive Danyan Academy, did you ever think that something would come to light one day?"

"what?"

"Nephew Huo, is what she said true?" Gu Xinchan asked with a frown.

Before Huo Ye could speak, City Master Yumeng raised his voice and continued: "I have managed Kuangzheng for you for many years, and according to your request, I contacted the guardian of Wuji Prison and taught him Kuangzheng's practice of absorbing the spiritual power of others to strengthen himself..."

Without being asked by others, she took the initiative to explain why she was with the guardian of Wuji Prison.

"Back then, you colluded with Wuji Prison to kill so many disciples of our academy, and you corrected it?" Some people have already faintly wavered.

City Lord Yumeng denied, "I don't know much about this matter."

Before Huo Ye could heave a sigh of relief, she cast a gloomy glance over there, and added: "Young Master Huo has many subordinates, maybe this matter is left to someone else."

"Huo Ye, what else do you have to say!" Someone in the crowd shouted.

Jiang Qiongxing recognized that it was Liang Weisheng's voice.

"I... have nothing to say..." Huo Ye closed his eyes, and said with a broken heart, "I admit that I did not notice for a while and let City Lord Yumeng go, but I didn't expect her to repay her kindness like this... If I had known this, I shouldn't have felt compassion in the first place."

"That's right," among the group of disciples, those who followed Huo Ye found a backbone and began to chime in, "This woman colluded with Kuangzheng back then, and almost prevented the brothers who went to Yunyan City to destroy Kuangzheng from coming back, and now she's talking nonsense here... How can you trust such a person's words?"

"That's right, nine times out of ten it's because she was rejected because of love, right?"

"Women are really scary. A man who can't get it will be destroyed..."

Seeing that the topic was getting more and more outrageous, Jiang Qiongxing said in time: "So, are you sure that this matter has nothing to do with you?"

Huo Ye said firmly: "Naturally."

Jiang Qiongxing sighed regretfully: "Since you insist on not admitting it, we can only invite another witness."

As soon as the words fell, Uncle Si Zhe, who was in charge of the Law Enforcement Hall, brought up a disciple while everyone was watching.

"It's him?"

"Why was he arrested by the Law Enforcement Hall?"

Many people recognized this fellow.

Some disciples secretly looked at Huo Ye not far away in surprise.

Few people know that this arrested disciple is actually one of Huo Ye's followers.

Huo Ye frowned almost invisibly, but soon returned to normal: it's okay, he didn't show up for this matter from the beginning to the end, so it's impossible for him to be involved.

"This person is another line of communication between Huo Ye and Wuji Prison," Jiang Qiongxing finished the introduction, and said to the man, "Tell me what you have done—start from the earliest things."

That disciple was directly carried up by Si Zhe, and as soon as he let go, he knelt down on the ground as if his legs were limp, and said in a trembling voice: "I... That year, Brother Huo asked me to spread the news that Shangguan Tao came from Wuji Prison..."

"Joke!" Huo Ye snapped.

The man trembled all over, faltering and not daring to make a sound.

Jiang Qiongxing glanced at Huo Ye, raised his hand and pasted a defensive talisman on the disciple, and said in a gentle voice, "Don't be afraid, as long as you tell the truth, you will be paying off your crime and doing meritorious service."

The man swallowed, and continued: "After spreading the news, Brother Huo asked me to record the list of those disciples who showed dissatisfaction with Shangguan Taoist friend and give it to him."

"I went to check the records of the Disciple Hall during that time two days ago," Jiang Qiongxing said at the right time, "Coincidentally, the group of disciples who disappeared one after another went out because of the tasks arranged by the Disciple Hall. Did someone deliberately arrange for those disciples to take out the mission and then ambush in the middle of the route?"

She looked at Huo Ye.

Huo Ye didn't look at her: "If you want to commit a crime, why don't you have excuses?"

Jiang Qiongxing smiled with a good temper, and testified to the people around him: "Go on."

"Then...Brother Huo asked me to contact Wuji Prison and bring this group of disciples who were caught by whom to their guardians..."

He also knew that this matter was too much, and his voice became lower and lower.

Hearing this, the voices of dissatisfaction gradually grew louder.

"It turned out to be him!"

"Traitor! Spy!"

"How can there be such a person in our academy?"

Hearing the uproarious accusations from fellow disciples, the disciple's voice suddenly became louder, as if eager to defend himself: "I didn't catch those people! I don't have that ability either! I just followed Brother Huo's instructions and took them to the Infinity Prison!"

Si Zhe, who was standing next to him, looked down at this disciple with contempt in his eyes as if looking at a piece of rotten meat: "So you really did what he said?"

"...Brother Huo said at the time that they were unstable elements that undermined the unity of the academy, and if they stayed, they would become a serious problem for the academy sooner or later...It's better...a long-term pain is worse than a short-term pain..." His eyes flickered, and he squeezed out a sentence through his teeth.
