Righteously and in a tone filled with grief and pity.
"No, those incriminating documents were framed by you and Su Xianrou." Chu Lingwei's voice turned cold. She found Chu Chang's feigned sorrow disgusting.
"Lingwei, if you believe that, then Uncle has nothing more to explain."
Advancing by retreating, Chu Chang was adept at such petty tactics, portraying himself as magnanimous.
"Heh heh." Bei Chenfeng chuckled, looking up at Chu Chang. "Since Sect Master Chu is convinced my disciple committed these misdeeds, I, as her master, am quite curious. Could Sect Master Chu present the proof, to satisfy me as her master?"
Bei Chenfeng sat on an empty chair in the main hall, as if discussing a trivial matter, his gaze calm as he looked at Chu Chang.
"Dean Bei, what Lingwei has done is known to everyone in the Xuanxin Sect." Chu Chang, as the sect leader, was not particularly subservient. "Furthermore, this is a matter within the Xuanxin Sect. Currently, Chu Lingwei has no relation whatsoever to the Xuanxin Sect."
The entire Xuan Tian Continent knew that Chu Lingwei had been expelled from the Xuanxin Sect.
"Xingzhi, since Sect Master Chu is unwilling to provide evidence, why don't you visit the Xuanxin Sect? Your junior sister was once an ordinary person and should not have committed such a heinous act. Perhaps there is more to this matter."
Bei Chenfeng ignored Chu Chang's words and turned to Leng Xingzhi.
"Yes, Master."
Leng Xingzhi responded and was about to leave the main hall.
"Dean Bei, what do you mean by this?"
Chu Chang's heart tightened. He did not fear Leng Xingzhi, but Bei Chenfeng was an insurmountable presence.
If they went to find the evidence themselves, wouldn't that be slapping his face in front of everyone?
"Of course, since Sect Master Chu is unwilling to cooperate, we will have to do it ourselves." Bei Chenfeng smiled innocently, shrugging his shoulders. He was confident that Chu Chang would not dare to get angry.
"Yin'er, my daughter."
Just then, Su Xianrou rushed in from outside, her face etched with anxiety.
She hadn't expected Chu Chang to confine himself to his cave dwelling to quell public anger. She had finally broken through the barrier and rushed to save her daughter.
"Mother, save me."
Hearing her mother's voice, Chu Xiyin's face lit up with joy.
"Husband, Xi Yin's mistake was not her fault. Please spare Xi Yin's life." Su Xianrou, disregarding everything else, hurried into the hall. Seeing her daughter crawling in the center of the hall, she immediately hugged her and said to Chu Chang.
Chu Chang's face turned green with anger. She had arrived at the most opportune moment.
"Aunt, you've arrived just in time. Lingwei has something she needs to ask of you." Chu Lingwei's lips curved into a smile when she saw Su Xianrou enter.
Hearing a familiar voice, Su Xianrou subconsciously looked up and saw Chu Lingwei smiling at her.
Chu Lingwei.
How could it be?
She had clearly killed her. How could she be here?
"Mother, she is Chu Lingwei. She's back for revenge." Chu Xiyin clutched Su Xianrou tightly, her voice trembling. She was truly terrified of everyone.
Su Xianrou's heart skipped a beat. Had she not killed her back then? Had Chi Yan not devoured her, and she had escaped?
"Aunt, do you recognize me?"
Chu Lingwei took a few steps forward and stood before Su Xianrou, letting her get a clear look. A hint of pity touched her face. "Aunt must be shocked that I wasn't killed by you, right?"
"You are truly Chu Lingwei?"
Su Xianrou stood up, her eyes filled with coldness. Even if she hadn't died, what of it? She could let her go once, and she could make her die a second time.
"Of course, I am. That strike you landed on my head back then, Lingwei remembers it very clearly." Chu Lingwei's voice turned cold. It was this woman who had made her wish she were dead.
"Lingwei, you committed a grave offense. We merely expelled you from the Xuanxin Sect." Chu Chang quickly interjected. They had only expelled Chu Lingwei from the sect and done nothing else.
Chu Lingwei let out a sarcastic laugh and looked at Chu Chang with disdain. "Chu Chang, you and Su Xianrou outwardly doted on me, but in reality, you wished I were dead. After all, I am the daughter of Chu Ze, the Sect Master of Xuanxin Sect."
"Lingwei, how we treated you is clear to the entire Xuanxin Sect." Chu Chang clenched his fists tightly. If Bei Chenfeng weren't here, he would have loved to kill Chu Lingwei.
"Hmph, dare you swear on your Dao heart that you raised me only to put on a show for the Xuanxin Sect, so you could legitimately ascend to the position of Sect Master of Xuanxin Sect?"
Chu Lingwei laughed. The people here were all astute. She believed that those from various sects would already know how things truly were.
The reason they remained indifferent was simply because of the Xuanxin Sect's reputation.
Chu Lingwei turned and walked in front of Bei Chenfeng, kneeling directly. "Master, after I was expelled from the sect, I was taken to a secret chamber by Su Xianrou and subjected to endless torment. I wish to personally take my revenge."
"How do you wish to proceed?" Bei Chenfeng's voice was unreadable.
"I wish to fight Su Xianrou to the death." Chu Lingwei turned her head and stared intently at Su Xianrou. She didn't want Su Xianrou to suffer hardship and be disgraced.
Upon hearing Chu Lingwei's words, Su Xianrou's heart finally relaxed. She chuckled lightly.
She, the dignified peak master of Xuanxin Sect's Qingxin Peak, how could she possibly lose to a disciple in the Light Wheel stage?
"Alright."
Bei Chenfeng nodded without a moment's hesitation.
"Thank you, Master."
Chu Lingwei stood up and directly issued a life-and-death challenge to Su Xianrou.
"Su Xianrou, you tormented me and almost killed me. Five days from now, I will personally exact my revenge."
A life-and-death challenge appeared before Su Xianrou, shimmering with contract runes. As long as both parties agreed to the battle, the challenge would take effect. If one party refused to fight, a heart demon would arise.
"Chu Lingwei, don't talk nonsense. Why would I torment you, an ordinary person?" Su Xianrou looked at the challenge before her, unsure whether to accept or refuse.
"Yes, I can't figure it out either. Why would I, someone considered a waste since childhood, be so hated by you?" Chu Lingwei posed the question back to Su Xianrou. Even a fool would know their motives for doing so.
"You..."
Su Xianrou was almost bursting with anger. She couldn't understand how Chu Lingwei, who had clearly breathed her last, had come back to life.
"Su Xianrou, are you afraid to accept the challenge?" Chu Lingwei scoffed as she saw Su Xianrou's hesitation.
"Wei Wei, if they dare not accept the challenge, I, your master, will flatten the Xuanxin Sect for you."
Bei Chenfeng said indifferently.
The sect leaders and elders of the various sects...
Chu Chang... Their Xuanxin Sect was not that weak.
Su Xianrou's expression darkened. She dared not let the Xuanxin Sect confront the Xiuling Academy.
"Fine."
Seeing Su Xianrou accept the challenge, a smile played on Chu Lingwei's lips. Su Xianrou, prepare to face the hell mode next.
