Chapter 1697 Everyone, please look! This is irrefutable evidence!
Jinwa's words were like a rusty, dull knife, cutting deeply into the hearts of Su Hao and Luo Yang.
Ya Ya's childish yet unusually firm agreement left them with no energy left to argue.
Chen Shu silently pulled his younger siblings back a little.
Although he was only at the late Foundation Establishment stage, his calm gaze and the subtle, restrained aura of the Wan Chuan Sect's cultivation techniques made his two senior brothers, Su Hao and Luo Yang, who had higher cultivation levels, feel an invisible pressure.
"Outer sect members...were chased around like stray dogs?"
Luo Yang's voice was strained. He wasn't completely unaware of the brutal competition in the outer sect, but hearing their descriptions firsthand still sounded jarring.
"Cang...Mingchuan, he gave you protection?"
"It's more than just shelter!" Jinwa puffed out her chest, her little face showing a seriousness beyond her years.
"Brother Mingchuan taught us the true methods of cultivation, gave us pills, provided us with shelter, and most importantly, he told us that we are not a burden, that we also have the qualifications to become stronger and have a future!"
In the Qingcheng Imperial Dharma Sect, besides Brother Mingchuan, who else has given us a second glance?
Those managers and inner disciples treat us like dispensable menial servants!
Chen Shu observed the changing expressions on Su Hao and Luo Yang's faces, and slowly spoke, his voice calm yet penetrating:
"Senior Brother, Senior Brother Luo Yang. We three siblings have nothing to say to each other because of our different stances. Brother Mingchuan has given us a second life, and Wanchuan Sect is our home. As for the past events at Qingcheng Yufa Sect, we can each weigh the right and wrong in our own hearts."
"Today is a joyous day for the Wanchuan Sect. If you two senior brothers have come as guests to offer your congratulations, we welcome you. But if you have come here to investigate or question us..."
He paused, his small frame radiating an aura of unyielding authority: "Please leave. Otherwise, this disciple will have no choice but to trigger the warning array here and report to the sect leader and the law enforcement elder."
Su Hao and Luo Yang pursed their lips tightly.
They originally intended to come in to investigate and find evidence that Cang Zi'ang was Ming Chuan, so that they could go out and severely belittle the Wan Chuan Sect.
But how could he possibly begin in this situation?
The goodness of "Cang Zi'ang" is not only said by these three children.
Both of them had personal experience with this before.
So, whether Mingchuan would become their enemy or not, the two of them fell silent for a moment, unsure how to make a judgment.
Su Hao's lips moved, but in the end, it only turned into a long, heavy sigh.
He looked at Chen Shu, the boy who used to be quiet and only knew how to bury himself in hard work, but now had a will as firm as a rock in his eyes.
And then there were Jinwa and Yaya's innocent yet wary faces...
"We... meant no harm." Su Hao finally found his voice, which was filled with exhaustion. "It's just... hard to accept for a while. Seeing you all safe and sound, and your cultivation has improved... is good too."
Luo Yang turned his face away, his fist clenched and unclenched repeatedly, and finally he let it fall in dejection.
What could he say? Accuse the children of being ungrateful?
But where is the "favor" that Qingcheng Yufa Sect gave them? They accused Mingchuan of abduction?
But every word the children uttered was voluntary and filled with gratitude.
"This matter..." Su Hao managed to utter two words, "We will not proactively report it to Sect Master Su. But the truth will eventually come out. You... should take care of yourselves."
After he finished speaking, he looked deeply at the three children, his eyes filled with heartache, helplessness, realization, and a hint of relief.
He tugged at Luo Yang, who was still in a daze, and whispered, "Let's go."
Luo Yang took one last look at the three children huddled together, his eyes filled with complex emotions. In the end, he turned around and followed Su Hao, silently leaving the small building.
The footsteps faded away, and the pavilion fell silent once more.
Just as Jinwa was about to breathe a sigh of relief and pat his chest, saying, "That scared me to death," Chen Shu suddenly raised his hand, signaling him to be quiet. Instead of relaxing, the expression on his little face became even more serious.
Not right.
So quiet!
The noise from the main tour group in the distance had also disappeared at some point.
Just as the three children became wary, and Chen Shu's hand was about to press on the warning jade talisman at his waist—
"Su Hao, Luo Yang."
A cold, authoritative voice, carrying an undisguised questioning tone, suddenly pierced the tranquility surrounding the small pavilion, coming from outside the door.
"Isn't this exactly what we've been looking for? Where are you planning to go?!"
With a creak, the door that Su Hao and Luo Yang had just closed was suddenly pushed open by an invisible force.
Outside the door, a crowd had gathered.
The leader was none other than Su Hongzhen!
A cold, triumphant smile played on his lips, as if he had finally found a weakness. Behind him followed not only a group of elders and disciples from the Qingcheng Imperial Law Sect with unfriendly expressions, but also many guests from various parties who had been led there.
At this moment, everyone looked surprised and suspicious, clearly having been "invited" over by Su Hongzhen for some reason.
Su Hao and Luo Yang had only walked a short distance when they were blocked by this sudden crowd, and their faces turned pale.
How did the sect leader know their location?!
What shocked them even more was that Su Hongzhen's determined gaze swept over them and locked onto the three children inside the house!
Su Hao and Luo Yang both felt a chill run down their spines, realizing something was wrong!
Su Hongzhen gave no one time to react. He stepped into the small pavilion and glanced at the astonished Jinwa, the fearful Yaya, and Chen Shu, whose face was pale despite his best efforts to remain calm.
Finally, his gaze, like a nail, was fixed on the unique spiritual energy fluctuations that faintly flowed through the three children, belonging to the foundation of the "Myriad Transformations Return to One Technique".
"Hahaha!"
Su Hongzhen suddenly let out a short, shrill laugh, abruptly turned around to face all the guests, his voice rising sharply, filled with long-suppressed resentment and the excitement of finally finding concrete evidence:
"Please look, everyone! This is irrefutable evidence!"
His finger trembled as he pointed at the three children: "These three! Chen Shu, Jinwa, and Yaya! They are disciples of my Qingcheng Yufa Sect! Several days ago, they disappeared along with my sect elder Cang Zi'ang and Jin Man!!"
"And now, they've appeared here! And the aura of the Wan Chuan Sect's unique cultivation techniques flows around them!"
Just then, Mingchuan heard the commotion and rushed over from the main hall. With a flick of his finger, he drew a silver streak of light, instantly traversing the void and arriving in front of everyone in a flash!
Su Hongzhen remained completely calm and sneered:
"Sect Leader Mingchuan! What explanation do you have for this?!"
"Isn't this irrefutable evidence that you colluded with the traitor Cang Zi'ang of our sect, and even... that you are Cang Zi'ang himself?!"
"You disguised yourself as Cang Zi'ang, entered my sect, stole my sect's resources, and abducted my sect's elders and disciples. Now you even dare to openly establish your own sect and deceive the world?!"
This accusation is more specific and supported by more solid evidence than any previous one!
Three living, breathing children who were once disciples of the Qingcheng Yufa Sect are now in the Wanchuan Sect, cultivating Wanchuan Sect techniques. This is proof that they can't be cleared up even if they jump into the Yellow River!
Mingchuan hadn't asked the three of them to come out and greet the guests today because he thought it was better to avoid trouble and didn't want the three children to confront Su Hongzhen.
Unexpectedly, Su Hongzhen actually found this place!
