Chapter 219: Senior Sister Zhou, I Picked Him Up On The Road
Ye Cong Xin looked sad and wronged, like a little white flower beaten by wind and rain, about to fall.

Her words did not make anyone suspicious.

Other than Yu Zhao, no one believed she would work with a Malevolent Spirit.

After all, her master was the number one person in the whole cultivation world. No evil path could hide from his eyes.

Yu Zhao was shocked at first, then slowly came back to herself.

She guessed that Fang Cheng Lang had also been reborn, and that it must have happened after Ye Cong Xin’s true nature was exposed in the last life. Otherwise, he would not say that Ye Cong Xin was a Malevolent Spirit.

The corner of her mouth curved into a playful smile.

In that case, would Fang Cheng Lang and Ye Cong Xin not bite each other like dogs now?

One was the first disciple on whom Master Qing Yan had placed such high hopes, and the other was the young disciple who was always acting cute and sweet. She did not know which one Master Qing Yan would choose.

Quan Ye stood in front of Ye Cong Xin, his gaze at Fang Cheng Lang as cold as ice, and shouted, “Fang Cheng Lang, you are framing a fellow disciple, our Junior Sister, for your own selfish desires. You do not deserve to be First Senior Brother at all!”

Su Ming also spoke, his voice low with disappointment: “First Senior Brother, this time you have really gone too far.”

Su Ming patted the dust off his backside and stood up. Only disappointment remained in his eyes.

Zhou Jin Yue and Zhang Jun did not speak to blame Fang Cheng Lang, but their faces clearly showed their disapproval.

For the first time, Fang Cheng Lang tasted what it meant to be condemned by everyone. Endless cold poured into his limbs and bones, holding him in place.

He wanted to expose Ye Cong Xin’s true nature, but not a sound came from his throat.

Without thinking, he looked at Yu Zhao, his eyes full of hope and guilt.

He knew Yu Zhao would understand him.

Because both of them had the memories of their past life.

Sure enough, Yu Zhao felt his gaze and spoke.

But what she said was not what Fang Cheng Lang wanted to hear.

She said, “Do not drag me into the matters of your Lone Moon Peak.”

The light in Fang Cheng Lang’s eyes went out at once.

Su Ming frowned. He felt Yu Zhao was really heartless. At a time like this, she was still kicking someone when they were down.

Quan Ye clenched his fists. He shot a quick glance at Yu Zhao, then hurriedly looked away, hanging his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Ye Cong Xin did not notice Quan Ye’s strange reaction. She let out a silent sigh of relief in her heart.

From the way everyone was acting, it seemed only Fang Cheng Lang knew about this. As long as she found a way to shut his mouth, her secret would not be exposed.

She looked at Zhou Jin Yue and Zhang Jun with pitiful eyes and said, “Senior Sister Zhou, Senior Brother Zhang, First Senior Brother was just confused for a moment. Could we not report this to the sect and instead handle it in private?”

Ye Cong Xin was not really trying to plead for Fang Cheng Lang. She just wanted as few people as possible to know about this. Once they left the Floating Island, she would have her own way of dealing with Fang Cheng Lang.

Zhou Jin Yue hesitated for a moment, then asked Quan Ye and Su Ming, “What do you two think?”

Su Ming said, “I… I have no objections.”

Although Su Ming was disappointed in Fang Cheng Lang, he also did not want him to lose all face in front of the whole sect. It was best if they could solve it internally.

With Master around, their Junior Sister’s grievance would not be ignored.

Quan Ye wanted to object.

But when he met Ye Cong Xin’s eyes, as pitiful as a small animal, he could only nod in agreement.

At that moment, Zhang Jun came back to Zhou Jin Yue’s side and quietly reported Lan Zi Yu’s condition.

Lan Zi Yu’s injury was neither light nor truly heavy. Several of his ribs were broken, and his inner organs were affected, with blood stasis gathering inside. Fortunately, after resting and healing for a while, he would fully recover.

Seeing that nothing truly terrible had happened, and thinking of Master Qing Yan’s temper, Zhou Jin Yue agreed to Ye Cong Xin’s suggestion.

However, to prevent Fang Cheng Lang from hurting anyone again, she took away his sword and bound his hands and feet.

She also decided in private that once they got out, she would speak with Master about it so that any future trouble could not be blamed on their Main Peak.

At that moment, none of them knew that the thing they were trying to hide had already been exposed.

At the Endless Sea.

Master Qing Yan’s expression could no longer be described with the word “ugly”.

Even Sect Master Ji Yuan, who had dared to talk back to him not long ago, now wished he could stay far away from him.

Even back then, when three Divine Transformation Cultivators surrounded and attacked the Five Elements Dao Sect, no one had ever seen such a frightening expression on his face.

The other Sect Masters watched their noses and then their hearts, putting on the calm look of experts untouched by wind or rain, but inside their hearts had already exploded.

They had thought Fang Cheng Lang was one of the good ones. It turned out he was the craziest of all, raising his sword to kill his own Junior Sister.

What hatred and grudge did he hold to do something so mad?

“…”

“Oh? So lively. I am not late, am I?”

Yao Wu Jiappeared at a very tricky time, breaking the heavy mood right away.

Everyone looked at her, and then they were startled by her – no, by the beauty beside her.

The beauty wore clothing similar in style to hers, but because it did not fit, a large area of pale skin showed at his chest.

Su Ming, Quan Ye, Zhang Jun and the other men hurriedly looked away, their ears turning red.

Zhou Jin Yue was also startled. But when she looked more carefully, she realized the beauty was actually a man and was just about to relax when she suddenly sensed something was wrong.

This person looked unfamiliar and was not on the list of the one hundred people in the grand competition.

Zhou Jin Yue asked, “Daoist Friend Yao, where did this person come from?”

Yao Wu Jigrinned and let go of the man’s hand she had been playing with, saying, “Senior Sister Zhou, I picked him up on the road.”

“Picked him up?” Zhou Jin Yue’s suspicion grew even stronger.

Yao Wu Jinodded and said, “Yes. When I found him, he had already lost his memory, so I gave him a name, Wang Sheng.”

After she finished speaking, she turned and made faces at Yu Zhao.

She was eager to know whether Yu Zhao had found the Longevity Fruit.

Yu Zhao did not notice Yao Wuji’s hint. She was staring at Wang Sheng, lost in thought.

The man had an extremely handsome face. Anyone who saw it would never forget it. Yu Zhao had no memory of him at all, so they had definitely never met.

But for some reason, the first time Yu Zhao saw him, a strong feeling of discomfort rose in her heart.

Wang Sheng was looking around in curiosity when his gaze met Yu Zhao’s.

He looked like he had just seen a lost treasure found again. Grinning, he ran toward Yu Zhao, letting out excited cries.

Yao Wu Jishouted, “Wang Sheng, where are you running? Get back here!”

She moved fast, grabbing him by the collar and trying to pull him back.

But Wang Sheng seemed to have suddenly become clever. He slipped out of his outer robe and ran toward Yu Zhao with his upper body bare.

Yao Wu Jistomped her foot in anger.

She flicked out the Red Silk Ribbon. It wrapped around the man’s hands and feet and dragged him back.

“Ah ah!” Wang Sheng writhed on the ground like a maggot, his head craning high toward Yu Zhao, his expression anxious.

Yao Wu Jislapped Wang Sheng on the head and warned, “Do not cause trouble. If you make trouble again, I will leave you here!”

At her words, Wang Sheng quieted down at once.

Yao Wu Jimuttered under her breath, “I really do not know if you are truly stupid or just pretending.”

The little farce the two of them brought soon died down.

Yu Zhao observed Wang Sheng for a while longer but did not find any useful clues, so she could only put it aside for now.

Fang Cheng Lang and the others had no desire to talk either. They all waited quietly for the time when the Floating Island would close.

They still did not know that once they left the Floating Island, what awaited them would be a furious Master Qing Yan.
