\u201cWe must make everyone believe that the cult killed Xian Yue. If there isn\u2019t enough evidence, we can make more!\u201d One of the old men called out, the same one who wanted to vilify the Tianning Cult.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Elder Wang Yue was surprised. \u201cShuo Yue, you mean… falsifying evidence?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Shuo Yue was vicious. \u201cThat\u2019s right!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cIsn\u2019t this wrong?\u201d The sect head asked, hesitating.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u201cHow could it be?\u201d Wang Yue asked. \u201cIf we were exposed by the Wulin…\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Shuo Yue interrupted him. \u201cXian Yue was most likely killed by the demonic cult! Let\u2019s take a step back to think this over. If our moon sword technique falls into the hands of the demonic cult, well, at least they won\u2019t spread it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cBut,\u201d He went on, \u201cIf it fell into anyone else\u2019s hands, our sect will be finished! As soon as the news gets out, even if someone else took the secret script, the demonic cult will be after it. The whole cult is the Wulin\u2019s public enemy! Who wouldn\u2019t want to take part in exterminating them? If anyone knows any clues about Xian Yue\u2019s murder, they will immediately come to us!<\/span><\/p>

Furious, it took every ounce of Han Changsheng\u2019s strength to keep from taking off his shoes and beating people with them. Those famous people were tired of living and asking for trouble. How dare they plan to implicate his demonic cult like that?!<\/span><\/p>

Gi Mingxiao held down his hand, signalling for him to keep listening.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The elders argued over what to do for a long time. It was getting late before their sect head finally called, \u201cOkay, stop quarreling! I\u2019ll go back to think about it. We\u2019ll discuss the matter tomorrow. Don\u2019t disturb the Xian Yue\u2019s peace!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

The elders looked at each other, then sighed and left.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Han Changsheng and Gu Mingxiao found a hiding place. Staying hidden until the people of Mingyue Sect were gone, Han Changsheng panted with rage, \u201cIf they dare use the Tianning that way, I\u2019ll kill him! I\u2019ll kill him without leaving a trace! It won\u2019t be unjust!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cThey\u2019re all gone,\u201d Gu Mingxiao said. \u201cLet\u2019s go have a look.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cA look?\u201d Han Changsheng frowned. \u201cThere\u2019s just a dead man left. Why look?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cI will open the coffin for a postmortem examination.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Han Changsheng blinked. He was going to open the coffin for an autopsy? What secrets did a dead old man\u2019s body hold? Gu Mingxiao surely had his reasons. Han Changsheng shrugged, following the hall master into the ancestral hall.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The Elder Xian Yue\u2019s body was in the innermost part of the ancestral hall. It had been three or four days since he died, and people of Mingyue Sect transported ice to store the corpse. It was still in good condition. Han Changsheng monitored the door while Gu Mingxiao opened his coffin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

After a while, Han Changsheng asked, \u201cHave you found anything?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Gu Mingxiao shook his head, closed the coffin, and sighed. \u201cA long knife killed him. Death in one stab, right through his liver. He didn\u2019t have any other injuries, so it\u2019s hard to infer who did it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cSince he\u2019s an elder, he wasn\u2019t weak, but he was still killed in one stab. Maybe someone sneaked upon him and he didn\u2019t defend himself? Maybe he was up against someone even better than he was, and he didn\u2019t have a chance to fight back?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Han Changsheng curled his lips and asked in disdain, \u201cAre you going to help them find the murderer? I will get my hands on their moon sword script. I\u2019ll send the script back to them at the Wulin assembly, so they can\u2019t possibly dare to attack our Tianning Cult again!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Gu Mingxiao sighed. \u201cIf this is the only thing, I\u2019ll take care of it. It\u2019s not the first time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cNot the first time?\u201d Han Changsheng asked, a little breathless. \u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cLet\u2019s go talk.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

It was already dark by the time they left the Mingyue Sect\u2019s ancestral hall. No one else was around, only cicadas and birds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Gu Mingxiao and Han Changsheng walked side by side. Finally, Gu Mingxiao spoke. \u201cDidn\u2019t you ask Xiaoqing and Xiaobai to check on the Tianyuan villa? Isn\u2019t this the same technique?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Han Changsheng came to an abrupt halt. \u201cWhat did you say? The Tianyuan villa?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWord has been spreading in the Jianghu.\u201d Gu Mingxiao frowned. \u201cOur Tianning Cult killed the former leader of the Tianyuan villa. Isn\u2019t that why you\u2019re here?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Shocked, Han Changsheng asked, \u201cYou mean, we didn\u2019t kill that guy, Huangfu Tugen?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cIt\u2019s been circulating,\u201d Gu Mingxiao said. \u201cI wanted to seek proof from my master. You were there when it happened.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Han Changsheng had no explanation. \u201cI… was?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

He had no memory of it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Gu Mingxiao nodded. \u201cFifteen years ago, when you were only four or five. The old master took you on a trip, and my master followed you.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Gu Mingxiao\u2019s master was Gu Ziqi, the head of the Ziyu Hall.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u201cMy master said that the Huangfu villa master was so arrogant that he called on the whole of Wulin to eradicate our Tianning Cult. The old cult leader wanted to go along the way to show Huangfu Tugen just what he felt about that.\u201d Gu Mingxiao paused, then said, \u201cYou cried and shouted to be taken to a more beautiful path with blooming flowers, so the old master finally took you on the path that went around the Tianyuan villa.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cSomehow, the old cult leader died, but you didn\u2019t even go to the villa.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cAfter returning to the mountain, I heard rumors that our cult had killed Huangfu Tugen. The old master and Shifu thought it was one of their subordinates. They didn\u2019t pay attention to the Tianyuan villa and didn\u2019t investigate.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cBack then, the Tianyuan villa\u2019s sword technique wasn\u2019t outstanding, but they had an internal mental skill called \u201ca hundred blooming roses\u201d. They said with the essence of letting a hundred roses bloom, you could cultivate several conflicting internal mental skills at the same time. But, after Huangfu Tugen\u2019s death, the technique disappeared from the Jianghu.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Han Changsheng was so surprised he couldn\u2019t close his mouth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Listening to Gu Mingxiao, he was afraid that, according to the Dog Lord\u2019s original life path, Huangfu Tugen should have died at the hands of the Tianning Cult. Because of his childhood whims, he changed the path of fate. They didn\u2019t kill Huangfu Tugen. So, who did?<\/span><\/p>

\u201cBecause of this,\u201d Gu Mingxiao went on, \u201cI\u2019ve been suspicious. In the past two months, I\u2019ve investigated several cases that are claimed to be by our Tianning Cult. Only one or two are in doubt, but it\u2019s all killing people and stealing their secret scripts. I\u2019ve sent others to investigate, too.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Han Changsheng was silent. He remembered the day the Black and White Impermanence deities told him that everything in the Jianghu was in chaos. How many people were affected? Even the immortals had to check everything slowly, so they couldn\u2019t tell him how to handle it for the time being. He thought the Black and White immortals would be able to tell him everything. Was it true?<\/span><\/p>

It was late. Finally, Gu Mingxiao asked, \u201cDo you want to go back to the Tianning Cult with me to investigate?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Han Changsheng shook his head. \u201cI have other unfinished business. I can\u2019t go back yet.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Gu Mingxiao looked at him, a depth to his gaze.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

He knew Gu Mingxiao wasn\u2019t easy to fool. He was afraid he\u2019d ask about his grand scheme, so he smiled and said, \u201cXiao Xiao~~ just let me go for three months! Give me another three months, I promise, and I\u2019ll be back!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Gu Mingxiao shook his head. \u201cWhy won\u2019t you tell us what your plan is?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cThree months,\u201d Han Changsheng said, holding up three fingers. \u201cThree months from now and you\u2019ll know! Really!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Gu Mingxiao looked at him in silence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Han Changsheng scratched the back of his head. He was thinking hard about how to get away. Finally Gu Mingxiao sighed and said, \u201cWhatever. Just go.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cReally?\u201d Han Changsheng asked, his eyes widening. \u201cThen, I… I\u2019ll go!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Gu Mingxiao only nodded.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

For fear of Gu Mingxiao having second thoughts, Han Changsheng hurriedly reached for a gift to give him. Unable to find anything else, he handed over a pair of newly purchased underwear. Righteously, he said, \u201cDon\u2019t look for me. I\u2019ve been thinking about everyone! I even remembered to buy you a pair! Well, this is for you. Don\u2019t be too moved. I\u2019m leaving. Bye!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Without another word, he disappeared into the forest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Gu Mingxiao looked down at the floral underwear in his hand. He didn\u2019t know whether to laugh or cry. Watching Han Changsheng\u2019s back as he retreated, he sighed and said, \u201cThat child is old. He doesn\u2019t need me to be in charge of him anymore. Alas!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

The little white cat stuck his head out from Gu Mingxiao\u2019s arms and reluctantly watched Han Changsheng leave. Gu Mingxiao flicked his head. \u201cDon\u2019t be so heartless like him when you grow up!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Han Changsheng mended his makeup on his way back to the valley. Thinking An Yuan might have already gone to bed, he decided his task of balancing his internal force could wait until morning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Creeping up to the bamboo house, he had just opened the door when a sharp blade glimmered from its depths. Startled, he jumped away just in time to avoid it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The sword came after him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Drawing his sword to fight, Han Changsheng crossed seven or eight moves in the blink of an eye. Bamboo fell to the ground all around him, one after the other.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Angrily, Han Changsheng said, \u201cWhat made you go mental?!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

In the past two months, An Yuan\u2019s sword had improved a lot, different from his time in the Yuehua Sect. An Yuan was a celestial descendant. His talent was outstanding, and Han Changsheng was at a loss, compared to him. Before, though, An Yuan didn\u2019t have the right opportunity to learn. His skills stayed dormant, all that time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Stealing the opportunity An Yuan was originally fated to have, Han Changsheng had to be brave and turn himself into an opportunity for An Yuan. Under his guidance, An Yuan made rapid progress and was ready for sword integration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Taking up his sword, An Yuan\u2019s voice was chilling. \u201cWhere have you been?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Unable to see his face for the depth of night, Han Changsheng knew he was angry from his tone, alone. \u201cWhere I go is none of your business?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

An Yuan was silent, then smiled grimly. \u201cDid you think it wouldn\u2019t matter if you didn\u2019t have me around these past two months?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Over the past two months, Han Changsheng\u2019s internal power had stabilized after An Yuan started assisting his respite each day. At least he wouldn\u2019t go into Qi deviation with the littlest movement. However, he had reached a bottleneck that lasted for over a month. Only part of the internal power had been integrated, just a fraction more than what he once had. He was still far from absorbing all the old man\u2019s power.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

He still wasn\u2019t sure if An Yuan planned to keep helping him. At this rate, it would take two years to conquer his internal power.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Han Changsheng was not in the mood to fight with him. His conversation with Gu Mingxiao left him in a strange disposition. He thought he\u2019d be able to put an end to everything in three months when he sent the Dog Lord to the Wulin conference. However, the old case of the Tianyuan villa had come up again. Nothing was so simple.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Shifting the topic, Han Changsheng said, \u201cGo rest. We can talk tomorrow.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Walking past An Yuan, he heard him say, \u201cUnless I let you go, you can\u2019t think…\u201d<\/span><\/p>

An Yuan was silenced when Han Changsheng put something in his hand. He lowered his head, bringing the object closer to his eyes. Under the faint moonlight, he saw that Han Changsheng had given him a pair of embroidered underwear.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Patting him on the shoulder, Han Changsheng said, \u201cYou see, I think of you all the time. Don\u2019t be too moved. Go to bed. I have something to tell you tomorrow.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

An Yuan: \u201c…\u201d<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
