Chapter 83: Confessing Crimes (Seeking Recommendations)

  "The first game, Su Che wins!"

  No matter how Song Paozi died, and no matter how uncomfortable the Zhen sisters felt in their hearts, the fact was before them, and as a public notary, Zhen had to make this announcement.

  Song Baozi's corpse fell to the ground, and Su Che walked up calmly, taking for himself the spiritual instrument war hammer that Song had left behind, as well as the Qiankun bag at his waist.

  "Wait!"

  Seeing Su Che wanting to take those things for himself, Zhen Lan immediately stood up and loudly stopped him: "Su Che, Song Shidi's legacy, you can't take it away!"

  But unexpectedly, Su Che didn't seem to hear and with a few swift swishes, he extremely nimbly put the Lingzhu War Mallet into his own Qiankun bag. Song Huanzhang's Qiankun bag was tied at his waist.

  Put the things away first, and then walked to the edge of the competition platform, cupped his hands and said: "Zhen Lan Shizi's words are wrong. 'Song Qing'an' has already been defeated by me. According to the previous agreement, he must withdraw from the sect and no longer be a disciple of my faction. Moreover, he did not leave the competition platform before taking his own life, obviously giving up everything he had. So, as the winner, I have the right to accept these spoils of war."

  "Nonsense!"

  Zhen Lan was indignant, but for a moment, she couldn't find a suitable reason to refute him. She couldn't very well declare in public that many of the things among Song Guang's legacy were actually provided by her herself. Such deceitful behavior might be tacitly acknowledged by everyone, but it couldn't be shouted out loudly without any regard for face.

  Yu Qing smiled and said, "I think Su Che's words make sense. If Song Qing'an had jumped off the arena and killed himself, his belongings would have become ownerless and should have been handed over to the sect for disposal. But he chose to take his own life on the arena, which indeed means that he has left everything to his opponent to deal with. This logic is reasonable wherever you go."

  "That's right, that's exactly what I mean." Lei Xiao stood up and loudly echoed in agreement.

  Lei Qingxue also stood up and helped to explain: "As agreed, the loser will lose their identity as a disciple of our sect; since he is no longer a disciple of our sect, his things naturally belong to whoever gets them first."

  The Lei family has a deep foundation in the Tianxuan Sect and is not afraid of the Zhen sisters.

  Tianlu Peak's Hualu had thought of a way to refute Su Che and Yu Qing's views to some extent, but just as he was about to speak, he remembered that he owed Su Che a favor because of the matter with the Sealing Demon Domain. If he hadn't repaid that favor yet, it would be somewhat unreasonable for him to go against Su Che now.

  As the saying goes, being cunning and deceitful is also a skill, but being shameless and brazen is just being a scoundrel. Hua Lu places great importance on saving face, and would rather be a hypocrite than a real scoundrel. So, he swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

  Similarly, Zhen Zhen as a true disciple, attaches more importance to her own face. Losing a spiritual instrument and several other items is not worth making a scene in public. So she quietly poked her sister, hinting that she should stop arguing.

  The people below all fell silent, and so the matter of the spoils was settled. Su Che's gaze shifted, and he looked down at Zhen Xiaoren "Jiang Chen", who was about to shrink into a ball.

  "Brother Jiang." Su Che's gaze was like a sword, clear and loud: "Next, it's your turn to take the stage."

  "No, no, I won't go up!"

  Jiang Chen was already scared out of his wits, where would he find the courage to face the next match. Just now, Song Mochou's outcome was the best deterrent, enough to tell him what fate awaited him once he went on stage.

  "Zhen Shijie..." Jiang Chen almost cried as he looked at Zhen Lan, not knowing how to ask for help.

  Zhen Lan glared at him with contempt, not deigning to exchange another word with him. In her heart, she was also secretly regretful: "I'm so embarrassed, how did I end up taking in such a useless guy as my follower..."

  Others also looked at Jiang Chen with infinite disdain, thinking: You can be afraid to death, you can admit defeat, you can openly and honestly express your willingness to concede, but you cannot be so cowardly, it's really not worthy of a cultivator's dignity...

  It was Su Che on the stage who could understand Jiang Chen's weakness. After all, he was also a fifteen-year-old boy, and it was not surprising that he would be flustered and lose control in the face of life and death crisis. However, this cannot exempt him from the punishment he should bear.

  Jiang Chen...

  Su Che's tone suddenly softened: "If you want to give up this duel, I can agree, but you must meet two conditions. First, you must publicly admit defeat and voluntarily abandon your identity as a disciple of my sect; second, you must stand here and truthfully confess the things you did to me in the past, only then will I accept your surrender."

  "Huh?"

  Jiang Chen, who had already been frightened out of his wits, lost even the little cleverness he usually had. Upon hearing these words, his desire to survive buried his IQ. At this moment, as long as they didn't make him go on stage and take his life, he was willing to do anything!

  "Alright, alright, I'll say it, I'll say it, I'll confess everything, Su Che, Brother Su, I'm sorry to you..."

  Next, Jiang Chen poured out his nose and tears, recounting the events of that day when he secretly plotted against Su Che for a spiritual grass, as well as several subsequent incidents where he repeatedly framed and slandered Su Che. Although he stuttered due to tension, he still managed to clearly explain the facts, and some minor discrepancies were too trivial for Su Che to bother correcting.

  "This little guy is actually this kind of person?"

  It's really shocking to hear that someone so young could be so despicable, not only did he secretly plot against others without any remorse, but also repeatedly made things difficult for them afterwards, this is just too sinister and frightening.

  Who dares to associate with such a person?

  Zhen Lan's hands and feet were icy, her face turned pale, she was already in a state of shamelessness, this time it was considered to have lost all dignity, playing the role of an accomplice to such a villain, from now on, what face would she have to appear in front of everyone?!

  Zhen was also humiliated, and she couldn't help but want to turn Jiang Chen into dust immediately. At the same time, she had an uncontrollable resentment towards Su Che. Without discussing right or wrong, or good or bad, just because he ignored her advice, causing her and her sister to be embarrassed in public, was enough to condemn him.

  A farce, having reached this point, no longer had any meaning to continue. Jiang Chen's identity token and jade card were confiscated by Zhen Zhen on the spot, plus the testimony of all the people present, from then on, he was no longer a disciple of the Tianxuan Sect.

  Jiang Chen's six senses were in disarray as he looked around, but saw that no one was willing to pay attention to him anymore. He could only slink away dejectedly, still muttering some words of comfort to himself: "As long as I'm not dead, it's fine. If I can't become a disciple of the Tian Xuan Sect, I can try other sects. At worst, I can be a free and unfettered loose cultivator... Who knows, maybe I'll encounter great opportunities... When my cultivation is sufficient in the future, I can come back to find Su Che for revenge... Great difficulties will not kill me, there must be good fortune afterwards..."

  But just a few steps later, the back of his neck was caught by a strong and powerful palm.

  Jiang Chen turned his head and looked over, his face which had just shown some improvement turned deathly pale once again.

  "Su Shixiong..." He hesitantly asked: "Is there anything else?"

  Su Che coldly snorted: "There are still some debts between us that need to be settled, who agreed to let you leave?"

  "Not saying you're saying..."

  Jiang Chen let out two soft "ah"s, and he himself understood now. Previously, Su Che had only agreed not to engage in that duel again, but he hadn't promised to spare him!

  "This is infuriating! I've been deceived, I'm so stupid!"

  Whoosh!

  Su Che didn't bother to waste any more words on him, and directly took out a mid-grade artifact, the Binding Heavenly Rope, to tie him up. Jiang Chen had already lost all his courage, and didn't even have the consciousness to resist.

  The onlookers nearby wouldn't stop Su Che for someone like that, let alone the fact that Jiang Chen was no longer a disciple of the Tian Xuan Sect.

  The only one who can save him is Zhen Lan, but towards Jiang Chen, she hates him to the bone. Today, her face has been lost completely, and it's all because of him. How could she possibly still want to save him?!

  Yu Qing and Ling Long walked over and asked: "Su Shidi, are you going to take him back to Xuanji Peak?"

  "Yes, senior brother, let's go back to my cultivation cave." Su Che made no attempt to conceal his intentions, which was to take Jiang Chen back to the cave and punish him.

  Yu Qing nodded and said, "I'll see you off for a while."

  'Jingji Peak' and 'Xuanji Peak' are thousands of miles apart, Su Che is dragging a captive along the way, it's estimated that they will have to walk for a whole day. Yu Qing is extremely meticulous, considering that Zhen sisters might intercept Su Che halfway and cause trouble, so she suggested bringing Su Che and Jiang Chen back to Xuanji Peak together.

  "Thank you, Brother." Su Che naturally wouldn't refuse Yu Qing's kind intentions and also thought of the possibility that Zhen Zhen would be troubled by this afterwards.

  Yu Qing has already reached the cultivation of practicing Qi Da Yuan Man. With two people, flying with a sword is not a problem, it's just that the speed will be affected somewhat.

  Next, Su Che bid farewell to Lei Xiao and Lei Qingxue temporarily, once again stepping onto the flying sword of Yuqing; Jiang Chen naturally couldn't enjoy such treatment, could only be held in Su Che's hand, and even had many acupoints sealed, not even having the ability to speak.

  Before leaving, Su Che heard Zhen Zhu's voice transmission again: "Su Che, you're not afraid of me, daring to go against my wishes and making it difficult for my two sisters... I said before that in the future, I will make it difficult for you to take a step, and you won't be able to stand firm in the sect. I keep my promises, just wait and see."

  Su silently didn't respond, because some people are just unreasonable, the more you argue with them, the more they think they're in the right.

  Yu Qing seemed to have sensed something, and suddenly turned her head towards Zhen Zhen, a smile with deep meaning on her face. In a clear voice, she said: "Sister's fairness, today everyone has witnessed it, thank you Yu Qing."

  "This sentence is quite profound, Zhen Zhen smiled and replied: "Junior brother is being polite, things that should be done, I will definitely do."

  "Excellent!"

  Yu Qing looked up at the sky and smiled, his true energy surged forth, and he rode his sword into the air.

  PS: Jiang Chen and Song Paozi, these two little rascals have been taken care of, it should be a great relief! So, Su Che replaced coffee, asking fellow Taoist friends for a few recommendation votes as a reward, thank you, thank you!!!
