Chapter 354: Chapter 353: Good Reasons to Stand Firm
Zhanzheng Academy.
When Xu Lingjun saw Han Yun City, he didn’t expect it to be in such a scene, and when he heard the message conveyed to him, he was completely stunned.
"My bodily fluids appeared inside Sun Qingrou?"
Xu Lingjun’s eyes widened in shock and he exclaimed, "What the hell is going on here?"
Wu Hongzhou was actually dead.
This is simply...
The two actually had some grudges between them, but in fact, towards the end, Wu Hongzhou seemed to be amazed by his power. When facing him, he no longer had any hostility, and instead showed goodwill with a hint of flattery.
Xu Lingjun even had a thought in his mind that if there were any inconvenient tasks in the future, perhaps they could be accomplished through Wu Hongzhou.
After all, the two had some entanglement, and even if they were using each other, they also held leverage over each other, making their relationship even more solid than that of regular friends.
But he never expected him to die just like that.
"The Vice Sect Leader of Cuowu Sect is dead?"
Ji Roufeng suddenly stood up and angrily said, "They even claim that Xu Tongxue had an affair and then killed the adulterer... this is pure slander. With Xu Tongxue’s conditions, any outstanding girl would be unconsciously drawn to him if he so much as beckoned with a finger. Even disciples from the sect would find it hard to resist his charm and wish to be close to him. In such a case, how could he possibly be interested in a slut... right, Xu Tongxue?"
She asked, "Xu Tongxue, you wouldn’t be interested in a slut, right?"
"Of course... not."
Xu Lingjun was taken aback by Ji Roufeng before he had a chance to get angry and instinctively agreed.
"That’s why I’ve come here."
Han Yun City glanced at the stunned Wang Qingya and Su Huanqing, who seemed unable to accept the fact. They appeared to realize something, exchanged a shy glance, then quickly looked away, not daring to face Ji Roufeng.
Han Yun City shook his head and remarked, "I now understand why your bodily fluids appeared inside that woman, Xu Lingjun, your actions were too careless."
"It was already quite cautious."
Xu Lingjun thought to himself that it really couldn’t be helped, but with this kind of thing, no matter how cautious I am, it’s impossible not to waste a drop.
"So you need to think carefully about who you may have offended recently."
Han Yun City sneered and said, "This is a lesson I learned from those old foxes—no need for evidence, no need for any background. If someone is trying to frame me, I only need to calculate who holds a grudge against me to know who the real culprit is."
"Zhou Qianmo."
Xu Lingjun said without hesitation, "He’s likely blaming his grandson’s death on me. This old guy isn’t dead after all... I knew it, a Grandmaster couldn’t die so easily."
"Not only is he alive, but he may also be collaborating with my sister. I have no evidence, but I don’t need evidence. I’m sure he’s behind this."
Han Yun City said, "Let’s go. My dead father wants you over there. If you don’t go, the Divine Soldier Guards will soon come to arrest you... They probably can’t wait for you to defy the order. Now, think about how you’re going to clear your name."
Wang Qingya stated seriously, "I can testify for him. I’ve been with him the entire time."
"Your relationship is already close. Even if you testify, they wouldn’t believe it."
Xu Lingjun was about to say that Zhang Zhiheng could vouch for him, but then he remembered that Zhang Zhiheng was actually quite slothful and that they only spent about an hour together each day. Unless he fabricated evidence, he couldn’t clear his own suspicion.
Ji Roufeng declared without hesitation, "Xu Tongxue, I’ll go with you. I can testify for you. We’ve been together day and night during this period, rarely separated. How could you have had the opportunity to do such things with that kind of... that kind of woman?"
She wanted to say "dirty things," but thinking of Xu Lingjun, she reconsidered, thinking it might not be considered dirty if Xu Tongxue was involved.
Han Yun City looked at her and, surprised, asked, "And you are...?"
"Sun and Moon Bright Sect, Ji Roufeng greets Your Highness!"
"Oh."
Han Yun City looked at Xu Lingjun with some admiration, thinking to himself, this kid is truly a player in the love arena. These talented sect disciples haven’t been here long, and yet Ji Roufeng is already so close to him, almost inseparable.
"That’s much more suitable. Let’s go then."
Han Yun City gestured for them to follow him.
Wang Qingya anxiously called out, "Xiaojun."
"It’s okay, I’ll be back soon."
Xu Lingjun’s eyes showed a hint of anger.
At first, seeing you alone, I felt a bit sorry for you. But I didn’t expect you to be so annoying, clinging like a leech that won’t come off... Damn it, I don’t want to endure any longer. Once this is over, I’ll get rid of you immediately.
Watching the figures of Xu Lingjun and the others leave.
Su Huanqing worriedly said, "Xiaoya, what should we do? It’s surely because of my oversight... I didn’t expect it to cause trouble for Xiaojun..."
She covered her mouth with her hand, eyes full of panic, and had secretly made a decision in her heart. She didn’t expect her oversight to result in such big trouble for him. Next time, she absolutely wouldn’t waste anything.
"There’s nothing that can be done about it. I’ll go find the Pavilion Master. For this kind of issue, only the Pavilion Master can step in for him."
Wang Qingya hurriedly ran out, shouting, "He will never let Xiaojun be wronged."
Meanwhile.
In the grand hall, as Xu Lingjun, Han Yun City, and Ji Roufeng stepped inside.
Xu Lingjun instantly became the focus of everyone’s gaze.
To Xu Lingjun, although he wasn’t familiar with everyone present, he had at least seen them all before, except for one older man with grayish-white long hair, around fifty or sixty years old, looking at him with an icy glare.
He was probably the Sect Leader of the Cuowu Sect, Sun Bumie.
"Xu Lingjun, you’ve come. Xiao Cheng should have already told you the ins and outs of this matter."
Han Xu Yang said, "I am not an unreasonable person. Even if there’s solid evidence, I will still give a person a chance to explain. Moreover, currently, you are only suspected. Do you have anything to say in your defense?"
Xu Lingjun said, "Your Majesty, this is a setup."
"Reasons?"
"It’s not worth my while to be interested in a whore who’s been with everyone."
Xu Lingjun said, "With my attributes, just by beckoning, there would be endless virtuous women I could indulge myself with. Why would I bother with Sun Qingrou?"
The crowd was speechless at once, thinking, is this even a reason?
But when they looked at Xu Lingjun’s face, they inexplicably thought that this reason was very credible.
Zhu Zhengdao sneered, "But Sun Qingrou is not just a simple whore. She also has a set of Supreme Level Techniques. It’s unimaginable to you that she once secretly deceived the Supreme Martial Skill ’Reversing Heaven and Earth’ of the Cuowu Sect from Wu Hongzhou for her husband, Marquis Xia Wu. A whore you might not care for, but a Supreme Martial Skill, can you say you’re not tempted?"
Xu Lingjun couldn’t help but feel a jolt of surprise, wondering how they knew that Marquis Xia Wu had the ’Reversing Heaven and Earth’ Secret Manual?
This was something that, apart from himself, Marquis Xia Wu, Wu Hongzhou, and Sun Qingrou, no fifth person knew.
But now everyone associated with it was dead, so how did this get leaked?
Zhu Zhengdao pressed further, "Then how do you explain the bodily fluids in her body?"
Xu Lingjun reasoned, "Stolen. At the Zhanzheng Academy, with a confidante around me all the time, those things aren’t difficult to obtain."
"Your Majesty!"
Ji Roufeng took a step forward and stated, "Sun and Moon Bright Sect’s Ji Roufeng, greeting Your Majesty."
"Oh, a brilliant student from the Sun and Moon Bright Sect?"
Han Xu Yang’s expression brightened slightly, and he smiled, "What brings you here?"
"I’m here to testify for Xu Lingjun. We’ve been together day and night during this period, hardly separated. There’s no way he could have had the chance to engage in such activities with that kind of... that kind of woman. On this point, I can vouch for him."
With these words out.
Everyone’s expressions turned incredibly odd.
Hmm, could those bodily fluids have come from her?
