Chapter 85: In This World, There’s Not Only Fighting, but Also Worldly Wisdom p2
Being slandered for no reason, Ye Yu’s eyes were filled with anger as he said furiously, “Mu Zhi’an, don’t slander others!”
“You say Bai Ruoxi is a demonic cultivator, that’s okay. But when others say you’re a demonic cultivator, why is it not okay?” Mu Zhi’an retorted.
Playing double standards like a pro.
I can accuse others, but others can’t accuse me. Our Ye Yu is so awesome!
Who the heck are you?
Ye Yu said in a deep voice, “Mu Zhi’an, don’t quibble. What emitted from Bai Ruoxi’s body just now was clearly a wisp of demonic energy! Everyone present saw it clearly!”
“What’s in Miss Bai’s body is spiritual energy. Do you think your eyesight can compare to Senior Sister Lan’s and the elders and patriarchs of the families present here?”
When Mu Zhi’an said this, he cupped his fists towards Lan Mulian, taking on the attitude of a junior, and respectfully said, “Senior Sister, I also suspect Ye Yu is a demonic cultivator now. Please trouble Senior Sister to use the Aura Observation Technique to find out the truth.”
“See if there is anything suspicious hidden in Ye Yu’s body.”
Ye Yu straightened his back, not afraid.
He was upright and proper. Since he wasn’t a demonic cultivator, he wasn’t afraid of an Aura Observation Technique, right?
At this moment, an aged voice slowly sounded in Ye Yu’s body.
“Give up. Bai Ruoxi is indeed not a demonic cultivator.”
As this voice fell, Ye Yu’s body slightly stiffened, and he roared inwardly, “Teacher, what clearly emitted from Bai Ruoxi’s body just now was demonic energy. Why even you…”
“Still can’t see it?”
“Even if you prove that Bai Ruoxi is a demonic cultivator, she still won’t be a demonic cultivator.”
This sounds contradictory, but that’s how it is in this situation.
Even if Ye Yu, or even the old man in his body possessed him and racked their brains to prove that Bai Ruoxi is a demonic cultivator, she still wouldn’t be a demonic cultivator.
Lone heroes are certainly free, but in this xianxia world, there’s not only fighting, but also worldly wisdom.
And Mu Zhi’an had obviously mastered this worldly wisdom.
“Your teacher’s identity still can’t be exposed now. Endure it.” The old man’s voice sounded again slowly in Ye Yu’s heart.
He had too many enemies. If his identity was exposed now and spread, it would probably cause huge trouble.
Ye Yu’s eyes carried a trace of unwillingness as he stared at Mu Zhi’an.
A long time later, he spoke slowly with an extremely humiliated and unwilling voice,
“Bai Ruoxi is not a demonic cultivator. I misunderstood.”
These words declared the result of this matter.
And Mu Zhi’an also didn’t continue to make trouble because of this.
It wasn’t that he was kind-hearted, but because Lan Mulian was also present. This Senior Sister had already given him enough face, and Ye Yu was also an assessment disciple this time. If he continued to make things difficult, it would inevitably make things a bit hard for her.
Moreover, what Ye Yu did today would not be completely without consequences.
The one who would ultimately bear the responsibility for this would be the Ye family behind him.
Mu Zhi’an turned his head to look at the Ye family elder not far away, cupped his hands, and said, “Senior, Young Master Ye is young and impetuous and doesn’t know better, but I still hope you can guide him more in the future.”
The Ye family elder seemed a bit surprised as he glanced at Mu Zhi’an, then cupped his hands and solemnly said, “My Ye family will definitely give Young Master Mu and Miss Bai an explanation for this matter.”
When he said this, the Ye family elder glared at Ye Yu.
Mu Zhi’an didn’t take the opportunity to make trouble for the Ye family, which was already giving the Ye family enough face.
If they offended the Mu family because of this matter, the Ye family’s future probably wouldn’t be too good.
This time, in order to ease the relationship with the Mu family, the Ye family would probably have to spend a lot of financial and material resources in the future…
Although the Ye family elder wasn’t clear that Mu Zhi’an didn’t care about that money.
After all, he had already secretly taken away the Ye family’s true treasure long ago.
Ye Lingxuan staying in the Ye family was probably also for that treasure… which was the Heavenly Dao Aura.
It’s just that the people behind Ye Lingxuan probably didn’t expect that in the end, not only did they not get the Heavenly Dao Aura, they even lost their own daughter…
A farce thus ended. The Ye family elder also had no face to continue staying at the scene because of this matter. He took the seemingly somewhat self-absorbed Ye Yu and left the teahouse to go outside and explain to the people and cultivators who were still waiting for the final news to “debunk the rumors.”
The Ye family elder’s face was frighteningly gloomy.
He wasn’t angry at Mu Zhi’an, but was angered by Ye Yu.
Because of Ye Yu’s action, the Ye family’s economy might be affected for a long time in the future.
Families that were at odds with the Mu family would more or less keep a distance from other forces.
Bai Ruoxi slightly raised her eyes and looked at Mu Zhi’an, her eyes shining brightly.
She didn’t expect that he could really reverse the situation so easily… At first, when she saw Ye Yu take out that pill, she even thought for a moment that her identity as a demonic cultivator was going to be exposed.
In the end… Her identity was indeed exposed, but no one thought she was a demonic cultivator.
And the one who led the result to this point was Mu Zhi’an.
“Brother Mu, thank you.” Bai Ruoxi transmitted her voice.
Mu Zhi’an turned his head to look at her, gently shook his head, and transmitted his voice, “As long as you’re okay.”
Because Lan Mulian was also present, Mu Zhi’an didn’t dare to gaze affectionately at Bai Ruoxi. He turned to look at Lan Mulian and respectfully said, “Senior Sister Lan is perceptive. You’ve really helped out a lot with today’s matter.”
Lan Mulian didn’t speak, only silently looking at the black test tablet in front and the pink light that had already gradually dissipated.
That was Mu Zhi’an’s fortune.
Bai Ruoxi’s matter was resolved, but now there was still one matter regarding Bai Ruoxi that hadn’t been resolved.
Lan Mulian slightly turned her head, her pupils instantly turning much colder. She expressionlessly transmitted her voice, “I still have something to ask you.”
Mu Zhi’an smiled and nodded, transmitting his voice in response, “Please speak, Senior Sister.”
“Why is there Bai Ruoxi’s spiritual energy in your dantian?”
“…”
Mu Zhi’an’s calm smile on his face slightly paused.
Well… This involves my blind spot.
