The Criminal

Elder Shi was the first to react. Before others had a chance, he hurriedly spoke out, “‘Lin Xiao’, you came just in time, the Qing Cheng Sect said that we killed their disciples, and now they want to deal with us.”

If you took a good look, you would notice that when Elder Shi looked at ‘Lin Xiao’, there was a hint of guiltiness in his eyes that couldn’t be concealed by his speech.

Ling Xiao acted like nothing had happened walking over and looking at both side’s murderous intent, finally he laid his gaze on the Qing Cheng Sect, laughingly he says, “It’s already the last day, why don’t we take a step back? Paradise Realm is really dangerous, something out of our expectations might happen. Someone might have even set up that trap to frame us, wanting to provoke us against each other while they just sit and receive thefisherman’s benefit(t/n: third party using the conflict between two parties to gain benefit from it). We are all adults, we have to be careful and think of the consequences.”

These words were very clear and logical, seeing Ling Xiao’s earnest attitude, many people’s anger calmed down. Luo ShuHe and Mo Sheng looked at each other, they didn’t expect Ling Xiao, with only one sentence, to point out their doubts.

The truth is, when he took the magic bag earlier, Luo ShuHe also suspected that somebody might be deliberately trying to put the blame on the Tian Xin Sect, because according to the person who found YeDan’s corpse, there weren’t many traces of fighting on the scene. So you could assume that the opponent’s level was above YeDan, perhaps much higher.

But for such a high level master, how could they leave such an obvious mistake? Even though they suspected it, they couldn’t just announce YeDan’s death like that. So Luo ShuHe instead thought that since the Qing Cheng Sect and the Tian Xin Sect’s relationship had reached the point likewater and fire(t/n: completely incompatible), and that sooner or later would be torn anyway, they could use YeDan’s death to blame the Tian Xin Sect and then the Qing Cheng Sect could openly take action. But only they knew the truth, not the other disciples, so Ling Xiao’s words shook them up.

You Xiaomo tries to hold back his laughter. Ling Xiao is really good at acting. As the only one who understands this situation, he stated, seeing his pretentious act that was polar opposite of his true nature, he wanted to vomit. Of course, only in his mind.

Originally the two sects were already at the flaming point, but thanks to Ling Xiao’s “advice”, everyone’s anger had almost died down. The other forces saw that there was nothing to see, got bored, and left.

Luo ShuHe and the others seemed to have other plans, but also didn’t continue.

Even You Xiaomo, who had a two digit IQ, could see their inner thoughts. Even though Luo ShuHe had contracted with a level nine magic beast, he also knew that the level nine magic beast suffered a serious injury. Unless he had the same lake water like he did, there’s no way the injuries of the Six Thunderbird had healed. So he shouldn’t start a conflict now.

Ling Xiao came up to Elder Shi, making it look like it was unintentional, and said, “Elder Shi, you all came here at the same time, don’t tell me you all already promised beforehand?”

This sudden remark made Luo ShuHe who had already prepared to go, stop in his tracks and look over again with a puzzled expression.

Elder Shi, worried that he’d continue to speak, quickly dragged Ling Xiao to another place where others couldn’t hear their conversation.

Making a cough sound, he said, “I accidentally got the information of when Demon Peak would be opened, so I made an appointment with the other Elders to go together to Demon Peak. At that time you were still in the north, so I was too late to inform you.”

Ling Xiao made his *
