Chapter 373: The Youth is Innocent, but He is Guilty of Possessing a Treasure
The name Jun Beiyu still has a strong presence in the comic prequel.
His father was the leader of Qingyang Sect, one of the two major sects, and high hopes were placed on him since he was young.
He did live up to expectations and always excelled.
Together with his fellow senior brother Yuan Xingche, they are known as the Twin Peaks of Qingyang.
Later, when Yuan Xingche died, Jun Beiyu risked his life to rescue other disciples and lead them out of the secret realm.
Shi Li couldn't help but stop and listen more.
During the Qingyang Sect competition last month, many people thought that the Qingyang Sect would face a dilemma of a lack of successors after losing Yuan Xingche. Unexpectedly, Jun Beiyu took the lead and became the champion, disappointing many people who wanted to see the Qingyang Sect make a fool of itself.
However, the Qingyang Sect still lost face.
The cause was that after the competition was over, a casual cultivator suddenly jumped out and pointed out that Yuan Xingche had stolen the elixir from him in the last competition, and that his victory was unfair.
No one paid attention to this unsubstantiated story at first, but a disciple from the Qingyang Sect's alchemy room stood up at the right time.
He spoke frankly and confirmed that Yuan Xingche had indeed had to pass through an astonishing number of pills before the last competition, which indirectly confirmed that he had cheated in the competition.
At that time, Yuan Xingche was still the white moonlight in the eyes of a group of young cultivators. When this matter spread, it was like a pearl covered in dust, which made many people feel sorry.
But this is only the beginning.
Not long after the competition, a disciple who had been missing for a year suddenly returned to Qingyang Sect and tearfully accused Yuan Xingche of having murdered him in order to compete for rare treasures.
Afterwards, weak outer disciples stood up one after another, timidly saying that they had also been bullied by Yuan Xingche.
No one knew exactly how many such incidents had occurred, but Yuan Xingche's misdeeds soon spread throughout the entire cultivation world, and the sect leader was so angry that he expelled him from the sect.
The once white moonlight has become a villain despised by everyone.
"I thought Yuan Xingche was pretty good at first, how blind I was! The disciple he accepted halfway through just has bad character. Qingyang Sect should have given him to a disciple with a good family background like Jun Beiyu!"
"It's just..."
The two passers-by became more and more excited as they talked. Shi Li gradually couldn't stand it anymore and was about to leave, but she found Wuming standing beside them, staring at the two people in a daze.
It was hard to describe the expression on his face. It was just the same as when Shi Li first saw him yesterday. He was like a pool of stagnant water, as if he was about to give up on himself at any moment.
"Wuming?" Shi Li didn't like his behavior, frowned and reminded him, "Let's go."
After regaining consciousness, Wuming lowered his eyelids calmly and said, "Okay."
Both of them were in a bad mood.
Shi Li originally wanted to buy more clothes. Since she had a Qiankun bag, she didn't have to worry about the burden of carrying things on the road. But her good mood for shopping was ruined, and she only bought a few pieces in a hurry.
When he came back, he remembered that Wuming was still injured, so he took out a bottle of pills from his Qiankun bag and handed it to him, "Take it and eat it. I have plenty."
Wuming looked at the bottle in her hand and his expression changed for a moment.
But it was only for a moment, and Shi Li didn't catch it before he restrained himself and silently took the pill bottle, "Thank you."
Of course, the pills in Shi Li's hands are the best.
After a few days, Wuming's injuries were mostly healed, and he looked more energetic, but he always had a gloomy face, as if someone owed him a million or eight hundred thousand.
Although Shi Li felt that what he did was not good, she did not say or ask any more questions, but took him on the road.
She had originally wanted to go back to Xuanxiao Sect directly, but now that she had someone to keep her company, she was no longer in a hurry. She walked and stopped from time to time, and by the way, she gave Wuming a cultivation method suitable for both young and old.
"Since you have spiritual talent, don't waste it." She said in a serious tone.
Wuming glanced at her and accepted it silently.
