C107 Truth

Following the path he had taken, Qin Shi quickly returned to Lihuo Peak.

"Shitou, wait a moment. Before you go back, you should first consider how to explain it." After entering the sect, Burning Heaven Clan's Qin Shi trembled a few times. Within the book, Yu was dressed in white and floated out like a fairy.

"An explanation?"

Qin Shi blinked his eyes and asked in confusion, "What do you want me to explain?"

"Cui Yunhai! Tears of Crystals!"

With a pause, the book recited two names.

When he heard the two words, Qin Shi's heart froze for a moment before becoming heavy. He had forgotten that when he left the sect this time, in order to prevent Cui Yunhai from harming him, he had purposely let the entire sect know that he and Cui Yunhai had gone out together.

Could it be that he wanted to speak the truth?

Cui Yunhai was an elder of a sect, but he was only a new disciple that hadn't even been in the sect for a month. Who would believe him? Thinking of this, he could not help but feel upset and scolded, "Damn, aren't I cheating? How about this, dig a hole and set yourself on fire? "

Moreover, as the first rank of the Contribution Points Board, Tears of Crystals had suddenly disappeared from the Contribution Points Board. Moreover, as the first rank of the Contribution Points Board, Tears of Crystals had suddenly disappeared from the Contribution Points Board.

Realizing this, he stopped and leaned against an old tree in the woods. The lazy sunlight spread through the sparse foliage and blotched his face. His face was grave, his thoughts racing through his mind like a wild horse on a leash.

"As for the Netherworld Sword, after we return to the sect, do not mention it to anyone else." Seeing Qin Shi ponder over it seriously, the young man in the book blinked his eyes and added, "As the saying goes, one must have a strong defense against others. Although an Emperor Soul Tool is nothing in the entire continent, it is still a priceless treasure in this ancient city.

Qin Shi nodded. He understood all of this. A single Emperor Soul Tool was worth going crazy over. Moreover, he still had the Bloodthirsty Sword and the azure-blooded sword. As long as there was no other choice, he absolutely could not reveal the Netherworld Sword.

After hesitating for a moment, Qin Shi's eyes flashed.

"I got it, let's talk about the Tears of Crystals secret plane. I said there was a mechanism in the secret plane that killed Cui Yunhai, and it was just the two of us at that time anyway. Furthermore, given my level of power, there is no way I could possibly endanger Cui Yunhai, nor would anyone suspect me. " Thinking of this, he deliberately left a few wounds on his body, tearing his clothes to shreds. Only then did he nod in satisfaction and strut back to the Li Huo Sect.

As soon as he entered the sect, his figure attracted countless pairs of eyes.

The disciples teamed up in groups of three and discussed softly with each other, pointing at each other from time to time. However, what they did not know was that Qin Shi's hearing and vision had far surpassed that of ordinary people, much earlier, when he had gone through the inheritance of the Qin family.

"See? He is Qin Shi. "

"He is Qin Shi? Didn't I hear that he went out with Elder Cui? Why did you come back yourself? "

"I don't know, but I've heard that he was the one who exchanged the Tears of Crystals."

"Definitely, if he could casually take out a hundred thousand contribution points, there probably wouldn't be a second person in the sect besides him, right?"

"That's right. Tears of Crystals, they must be some kind of peerless treasure, right? "Sigh, if only I could have it." Whispers of discussion kept falling into Qin Shi's ears. This made him even more certain that the Li Huo Sect had exploded.

Thinking of this, he was secretly glad, "Thanks to Sister Yu's reminder, if I had come back recklessly, I really wouldn't have been able to explain it. I don't know how to answer them." Thinking of this, he ignored this group of disciples and directly walked towards the inner sect.

The moment they entered the inner sect, Su Ming, Lin Yu, and Qin Shang ran over from their respective rooms. When the three of them saw Qin Shi, excitement appeared on their faces at the same time, especially Su Ming's. This time you're in the limelight. "Come, come, come. Quickly tell me, what kind of treasure is this Crystal Tears?"

Qin Shi shook his head with a bitter smile.

"Brother Niu Pi, stop messing around." Lin Yu cast a glance at Su Ming and said straightforwardly, "Shitou, the head of the Cloudsoaring sect is looking for you. He told you to look for him in the hall when you returned."

Qin Shi was not surprised since he had long since expected Ling Xiao to look for him. He only nodded his head.

With that, the four of them headed towards the Sect Leader's main hall.

In the grand hall of the Sect Leader, Ling Xiao closed his eyes and sat upright to recuperate. He heard their footsteps and slightly opened his dark eyes. He gave the people a clear feeling and said, "Brat, you're back? "Do you know why I'm looking for you?"

Qin Shi was stunned. Of course he knew that Ling Xiao was going to ask about the Tears of Crystals, but he was not stupid. "Great Leader, I will not be looking for you. As soon as I returned to the sect, I immediately came to see you. How could I have guessed that you were looking for me for something?"

Looking at Qin Shi's innocent expression, Ling Xiao bitterly smiled and shook his head, "You brat, continue pretending. You exchanged them for the Tears of Crystals, didn't you?"

It really was the Tears of Crystal.

Qin Shi pursed his lips and said bluntly, "Reporting to Sect Leader, I have indeed exchanged for Tears of Crystals."

Standing up, Ling Xiao nodded on the Dragon Throne, and looked around. Finally, his gaze landed on Qin Shi, and he suddenly said something that caused the crowd to explode, "Haha, it seems like my guess is correct. Cui Yunhai did not come back with you, but he is already dead, right?"

"Hiss, hiss, hiss ~ ~ ~"

A chilling aura.

The people in the crowd widened their mouths at the same time. Lin Yu, Su Ming, and Qin Shang all stared at Qin Shi, waiting for his reply. Qin Shi was also dumbfounded. He blinked his eyes with all his might and was speechless for a moment.

Originally, he had guessed that Ling Xiao would ask these questions and would have a better reason to deal with Ling Xiao, but who would have thought that Ling Xiao would go off track and act completely out of line? He was immediately caught off guard. "Leader, Sect Leader, why are you …"

"Hur hur, you want to ask, how would I know?" Without waiting for Qin Shi to finish, Ling Xiao waved his sleeves and interrupted him, "Actually, it's not strange. Cui Yunhai peeked at the Tears of Crystals for a long time, I already knew about it. Now that you exchanged the Tears of Crystals, you two have left in secret."

"This …"

In an instant, Qin Shi became nervous.

"You don't have to be nervous, I just called you here to confirm the truth." Ling Xiao shook his head, saying, "Cui Yunhai is not loyal to the Li Huo Sect. Not just me, but many elders know this. It's just that we all chose to remain silent."

"Now that he has fallen to this state, it is all his own fault. You can't be blamed." As he spoke to here, Ling Xiao walked down from the Dragon Throne, and walked step by step to Qin Shi's side. He patted Qin Shi's shoulder heavily, "Grasp the crystal tear well.

Hearing this, Qin Shi heaved a sigh of relief and nodded his head, "Don't worry, Sect Leader!"

"Haha, that's good. You guys can leave now. Don't embarrass the Li Huo Sect in the Burning Heaven Secret Realm half a month earlier!" Ling Xiao stroked his beard as he laughed heartily. Then, he waved to Qin Shi and the others, indicating for them to leave.

"..."

As Qin Shi left the great hall, waves of emotions surged in his heart.

Even when he returned to his room, his thoughts were unable to calm down.

"So Sect Leader Ling Xiao knows all about it …" Qin Shi said as he laid on the bed.

The Jade in the book floated out from the burning book, she then nodded her head after some deliberation, and said: "Indeed, as expected of the head of a sect. It seems that I have underestimated him."

"That's fine too. It's better than hiding something. After all, I didn't do anything wrong." His eyes turned cold as he said, "With this Netherworld Sword, even if I go up against someone at the peak of the Spirit Sealing Realm, I still have the strength to fight them. Chu Yuanba, just you wait."

Dong, dong, dong!

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Within the book, Yu quickly floated back into the book. Qin Shi kept the Netherworld Sword and shouted, "Enter!"

Xu Qiao'er pushed open the door and entered: "Shitou ge."

"Qiao'er? Why are you here so late? " Seeing Qiao'er, Qin Shi was a little surprised. He quickly jumped down from the bed and asked with concern, "How is it? Are you used to being in the sect? Is there anything uncomfortable about it? "

Sitting on the bed, Xu Qiao'er shook her head. "No, Sister Zhou Qin treated me very well. She took care of me."

"Haha, that's more like it. If Zhou Qin dares to bully you, tell Shitou ge …"

"Tell you what? Would you hit her? Didn't you say that you would never hit a woman in your life? " Xu Qiao'er blinked her large and adorable eyes as she interrupted Qin Shi with an indifferent expression.

After being interrupted by Xu Qiao'er, Qin Shi embarrassedly scratched his head and said, "Eh, I don't hit women, but if she bullies you, I can go and beat up Little Yu. Are you sure you don't want to repay your debts as a wife?"

"Puchi!"

Xu Qiao'er's ice-cold face was amused by Qin Shi.

In an instant, he caught Xu Qiao'er's sweet smile. It was like a winter plum blossoming in the pure white snow when the weather was cold. It was extremely beautiful, causing Qin Shi to be relaxed and happy for a moment. "Qiao'er, you, you're smiling?"

Seeing the surprised Qin Shi, Xu Qiao'er said shyly: "What's wrong? You don't look good? "

"Good looking, too good looking. In the future, you should smile more. Only then will you be good looking." Look at you, always wearing a stern face, as if you have a grudge against anyone. Even with your white and tender face open, no one would dare to chase after you. " Qin Shi coughed dryly and teased.

After Qin Shi teased her, Xu Qiao'er coquettishly scolded, "You're hateful. You don't act like a brother at all. No wonder Big Sister Zhou Qin scolded you for being so shameless." As she spoke, she lowered her head and whispered, "I don't want anyone to chase after them."

Looking at the little girl Xu Qiao'er, Qin Shi shook his head. "That's right, why are you looking for me?"

Speaking of proper business, Xu Qiao'er unconsciously stopped smiling. Her expression became ice-cold once again. She looked out the window and said, "Shitou ge, look at the moon."

Stunned, Qin Shi raised his head.

The sky was filled with hazy clouds, and the shy moon in the clouds was as beautiful as a silver plate.

Absentmindedly, he shook his head. "It's so round. Tomorrow will be the fifteenth, the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion."

"Yes, I want to take advantage of this opportunity to return home. This time, I secretly left the Qin family. It has been almost a month, and I haven't even said hello. Grandfather and Mother are probably worried sick." After a moment of hesitation, Xu Qiao'er said, "Furthermore, if we cultivate in the Li Huo Sect now, we will have less and less chance to return home in the future."

After hearing this, Qin Shi was in a trance.

Yes, Qiao'er was different from him. He had openly come to the Lihuo Sect, but Xu Qiao'er had sneakily left alone. The Qin family did not even know that they had been captured by the Cloud Tripod Sect.

When he thought of this, he also hesitated. He had left home for quite some time.

Qin Shi couldn't help but feel homesickness towards him. He looked at the moonlight and said, "Yeah, it's really time to go back. We'll leave tomorrow morning and head back to Barren Town together."
