C136

With Little Dan's ability to cause trouble, even Heaven's Gift knew that Little Dan would kill him sooner or later. However, he did not expect it to happen so soon, so he felt a little sad.

That sadness was pity for those people who had been indirectly killed by Little Dan, and was unable to restrain Little Dan. But no matter what, as long as he didn't die, Little Dan was still his companion.

At the same time, he had to pay for the mistakes that Little Dan had committed. However, with his current abilities, he definitely couldn't. But once he had the ability to pay for it, he was duty-bound to do so.

When Little Dan told the story, Heaven had always listened attentively, even if the story was fabricated, because he believed that Little Dan must have his reasons for doing so.

For the first half of his story, he was just an orphan, and if he didn't have a grandparent, perhaps he really would become a beggar. His grandmother had told him that no one would abandon their child unless they were faced with an insurmountable problem, and he believed her.

He didn't have any impression of him, but he had indeed been abandoned by someone. If what Little Dan said was true, and if there really was a Wise Demon race member, then it really proved that he was Shentu Shun.

He knew about it, but there was one thing he couldn't understand. The people all wanted Shentu Shun to concoct immortal pills, and it was impossible for him to be harmed by Little Dan. So why did he say that he was Shentu Shun? If he was Shentu Shentu, then wouldn't it be the same as harming him?

Without him and his senior brother, Little Dan might have already died. Without him bringing Little Dan out of the cave, Little Dan's life might not have been very colorful. Without his senior brother teaching Little Dan cultivation, Little Dan might just be an ordinary wild boar.

For five years, he and Little Dan had been living together, and he still believed that Little Dan couldn't hurt him, so he listened very carefully to find out what was useful to him in Little Dan's story.

He listened attentively, but unfortunately he couldn't find any useful information. He still wanted to look for more, but he understood that everyone came because they wanted to know if he was Shentu Shun. He was the most important, so they wouldn't give him too much time.

Although he couldn't find any good news for him, he still believed that Little Dan wouldn't harm him or himself, so he took the initiative.

However, there was one thing that he needed to know before he could step forward.

He was a guest of the Hollow Jade Sect, Uncle Su also agreed to give an explanation to the world, and only then did the crowd try to force the Hollow Jade Sect to prove their identity, but Senior Yin Xian seemed to see through everyone's intentions, and was not fooled at all.

Since he couldn't use the Hollow Jade Sect, the crowd had no choice but to ask him, hoping that he would prove his identity. Who knew that a Demon King would suddenly appear and stir up trouble, not only did it fail to force him to prove his identity, it even forced him to deny Shentu Shun's identity.

The Hollow Jade Sect was pretending to be ignorant while he directly denied Shentu Shun's identity. Someone then thought of using Little Dan to force him into a corner.

Originally, he wanted to give them an explanation. However, he kept thinking about how he should give an explanation to those seniors who had lost spirit stones and those seniors who had died.

At that time, there were only two options in front of him. Either hand over Little Dan or prove his identity, regardless of whether he was dead or alive.

Little Dan was his partner, so he wouldn't hand it over. Even if he did, and Little Dan got what he deserved, the crowd would still think of ways to force him to prove his identity, because their target would always be him.

Not only did Little Dan personally give them an explanation, she even used the power of the Hollow Jade Sect to force them and threaten them. He didn't have to worry about that anymore.

After everyone used the Hollow Jade Sect to force him to prove his identity, they asked him very politely, "If there's no result, and Little Dan says the same thing, then he can ask me to prove my identity directly. Why is it that the Hollow Jade Sect doesn't want to force me, and the rest of the people don't want to force me either?"

Although he knew what everyone was afraid of, he still couldn't figure it out, but regardless of whether he wanted to or not, he had to prove his identity. Even if he didn't want to prove his identity, everyone would still think of ways to force him.

To prove his identity would only prove that he was Shentu Shun, or not Shentu Shun.

In truth, he was willing to prove his identity, because the reason he left the village with his senior brother was to find his family, but he was also afraid of proving his identity. He was afraid that he might be Shentu Shun, not because he was afraid of death, but because he was afraid that his journey to find his family would be wasted.

Since he had no way of dodging, he had to prove his identity. He could only accept it, but before doing so, he had one more thing to do.

Leaving his chair, Tian Ci knelt before Yin Xian, Su Liang, and Wen Shi, not to stop Chi Dan from looking for the culprit.

"Senior Yin Xian, Senior Su Liang, Senior Wen Shu, this disciple has brought Little Dan with me to the sect just to acknowledge me as his teacher. I hope the three seniors can fulfill my wish!"

Seeing Chi Dan looking for the killer, Yin Xian originally wanted to exchange a few pleasantries with Chi Dan before shifting the topic to Tian Ci, but before he could open his mouth, he saw Tian Ci leave his seat. Just as he was confused, Tian Ci had knelt in front of him, and he had heard what she had to say.

"Little friend Tian Ci, you should get up first!"

Two months ago, Yin Xian had already guessed the reason why Tian Ci came to the Hollow Jade Sect. It was because of this reason that he stopped Su Liang when Su Liang wanted to accept Tian Ci and Chi Dan.

For the sake of the Scarlet Core, he would not hesitate to agree to Tian Ci's request. However, given the current situation, if it was proven that Tian Ci was Shentu Shun, the Hollow Jade Sect would have to pay a great price to protect her Heaven's Gift. For the sake of the sect, he could not agree to it.

He could only wait until Divine Gift proved his identity. If it wasn't Shentu Shun, he would agree. However, if it was Shentu Shun, then it would be a different story.

As for now, Yin Xian had no choice but to stabilize his Heaven's Gift and wait for it to prove his identity before deciding on his next course of action.

Yin Xian had his own way of thinking, and Heaven's Gift also had his own way of thinking. If he wanted Yin Xian to prove his identity, the Hollow Jade Sect would have to take him in as a disciple first.

"If the three seniors do not agree with this disciple's request, this disciple would rather kneel down and not rise!"

"We know how to use external forces to protect ourselves. I was worried that he didn't know how to deal with the crowd, but it seems that I was overthinking it."

That's right, Su Liang's original plan was also to obtain Heaven's Gift. When he saw that everyone was pressing on him, Su Liang was a little regretful that he did not remind him earlier. Now, he no longer had to worry.

There was a person who seemed to not care about anything. Ever since the appearance of Tian Ci and Chi Dan, regardless of their performance, she had never taken a proper look at them, not even once. Those who did not know that she was not a person at all, but a statue.

At this moment, the heavens were bestowing her with a kowtow to express her determination to become her disciple, which allowed her to take a few more glances. Because many matters within the sect were decided and handled by her two senior brothers, she did not act on her own accord.

Chi Dan originally did not intend to find the culprit to bring justice to those who died. After all, many of those who died wanted Shentu Shun so he stopped looking for the culprit when he saw that his companions had begun to acknowledge him as their master.

Huo Luan seemed to only talk a little. In the main hall of the sect, he spent most of his time cultivating. As long as Tian Ci and Chi Dan didn't ask him, he almost never took the initiative to speak.

After exiting the main hall of the sect, even though Chi Dan had clarified his identity as Shentu Changsheng, he still did not say anything. Since Tian Ci had come to the Hollow Jade Sect to become her disciple, he knew about it, but when he saw Tian Ci choosing to become her disciple at this moment, he still did not say anything, but he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"To think that this young man chose to acknowledge me as his teacher. Seems like he has seen through his own situation. This young man is not simple!"

"I had thought that this kid would only acknowledge a disciple after proving his identity. It seems that I have underestimated this kid!"

Those who had always admired the gift thought that they had overestimated it. When the gift insisted on entering the Hollow Jade Sect at this moment, many of them still felt that they had underestimated it.

"Ahh, this guy really did come here to take me as his master, but sadly, he has no fate with my school!"

The Sect Leaders and Sect Elders of the small sects who had been admiring the Heaven's Gift were hurt because the Heaven's Gift had chosen the Hollow Jade Sect from the very beginning, never giving them the chance to do so.

Some sects didn't give up after seeing that Yin Xian still hadn't agreed.

"Humph, I guess this Hollow Jade Sect will never agree to this at all, I really hope that Yin Xian will continue to refuse. As long as Yin Xian continues to refuse, little friend Tian Ci will definitely be angry, and once it is confirmed that he is not Shentu Shun, then it will be difficult for him to join the Hollow Jade Sect. As long as little friend Tian Ci does not immediately join the Hollow Jade Sect, my sect will still have a chance!"

While there were people who admired Divine Powers, there were also people who did not admire them. In fact, there were even people who thought that Divine Powers were merely an ant. Even though Divine Powers possessed intelligence, they still thought in such a way.

"Humph, you think you don't need to die just because you've been exposed to the Hollow Jade Sect? You little ant, what a wishful thinking!"

The other four sects also had different thoughts. Among them, the Sky Cracking Sect's Duo Ling was very anxious and didn't want to see Tian Ci join the Hollow Jade Sect.

"Heaven's blessing boy, the Hollow Jade Sect won't accept you as a disciple. Come to my Sky-Splitting Sect! I promise I'll let the sect accept you as a disciple!"

"Heaven bestowed brat, the Hollow Jade Sect has already rejected you, why do you insist on joining the Hollow Jade Sect!"

"Heaven bestowed brat, you must have backbone! Men have gold under their knees, why do you need to kneel? Quickly get up!"

As compared to Duo Ling, Yu Zijun and Nong liang of the Profound Spirit Sect had the exact opposite thoughts. They really hoped that the Hollow Jade Sect would accept them as disciples.

"Little friend Tian Ci, regardless of whether you are Shentu Shun or not, I hope that the Hollow Jade Sect can really protect you!"
