Emperor Qiankun

Chapter 223 Hearing and Seeing with My Own Eyes

Tianjian Sect, outside the small courtyard.

Li Qingyuan came back to his senses and asked, "Is the Sect Master at Xuanyun Peak?"

The outer sect disciple nodded hurriedly and replied in a hurried tone, "Yes, it's in the main hall of Xuanyun Peak."

Hearing this, Li Qingyuan did not delay any longer and headed towards Xuanyun Peak.

Behind him, Yue Qinghuan took light steps and followed slowly.

Li Qingyuan stopped, turned around and looked at her, wondering, "What are you doing...?"

"Can't I go and take a look?"

Yue Qinghuan asked back, looking relaxed.

Li Qingyuan: "..."

Then he shook his head helplessly and thought: Yue Qinghuan probably wants to join in the fun?

But he also knew Yue Qinghuan's personality. Once a decision was made, it would be difficult to change it, so he didn't say anything more.

......

In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the two arrived at Xuanyun Peak.

The main hall of Xuanyun Peak is magnificent. With the door wide open, one can see at a glance that the hall is full of elders.

Li Qingyuan suddenly felt confused: What important matter are they discussing?

After a while, the two of them walked into the hall.

Immediately, all the elders looked over.

Everyone's eyes were filled with curiosity as they looked at Yue Qinghuan, secretly speculating in their hearts:

Who is this woman? She came here with Li Qingyuan.

"This woman looks unfamiliar. I've never seen her in the sect before. Could she be someone close to Li Qingyuan?"

An elder muttered quietly, with a hint of doubt in his tone.

"Could it be that he brought back a confidante from outside? This woman has an extraordinary temperament, she is definitely not an ordinary person."

Another elder took over, a playful smile on his face.

"No matter who it is, as long as they appear with Li Qingyuan, they must be involved in this matter!"

An elder said with a cold expression, staring at Yue Qinghuan and Li Qingyuan, as if he wanted to see through them.

......

Yue Qinghuan had a stern expression, her eyes were like frost, and she swept her cold eyes over everyone like a sharp blade.

She didn't care at all about the elders' discussions and burning gazes.

Not only that, she actually took the initiative and looked back at the elders with a scrutinizing gaze;

His eyes seemed to be judging their every move, and he was not afraid of the authority of the elders in the hall at all.

Li Qingyuan was equally composed. He turned his gaze towards Chen Xuanxiao, who was standing at the top.

"Li Qingyuan, do you admit your crime?" Chen Xuanxiao said in a deep voice.

"Crime? What crime?" Li Qingyuan thought to himself.

He immediately said, "Disciple, I don't know. I hope the Sect Master will explain it to me."

Chen Xuanxiao waved his hand, signaling the elders below to explain the situation.

Immediately, an elder cleared his throat and told Li Qingyuan the whole story.

......

Li Qingyuan listened quietly, frowning slightly.

After pondering for a moment, he fixed his gaze on the outer sect disciple and slowly asked:

"You said that Wang Yi and I had a fight? Do you have any evidence to prove that what you said is true?"

"I...I am the witness! I heard it with my own ears!"

Although the outer sect disciple was a little nervous, he still spoke loudly.

"Oh? That's not right."

Li Qingyuan's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile.

"Why do I remember clearly that it was Wang Yi and Yang Haochen who arranged a duel?"

"Senior Brother Wang Yi has a close relationship with the Eighth Prince, so why would he challenge him to a fight?"

The outer sect disciple retorted without hesitation, seeming to find Li Qingyuan's statement incredible.

"Hey... Look, you also know about Wang Yi's affair with Yang Haochen, right?"

Li Qingyuan stared at the outer sect disciple with sharp eyes.

"Why are you avoiding talking about this matter? Are you hiding something?"

"I...I didn't."

Hearing this, the outer sect disciple's heart tightened and his face became a little flustered.

"You didn't? That's not right."

Li Qingyuan asked again, "Since you knew about the fight, why didn't you know about their affair?"

......

This time, before the outer sect disciple could say anything, Wang Wei angrily shouted, "Stop talking nonsense, you brat!"

He added, "When did my son have an affair with someone else? That was just normal interaction between friends!"

"Making friends? Hahaha..."

Li Qingyuan threw his head back and laughed, his laughter full of sarcasm.

He continued, "But how could I have witnessed with my own eyes that Yang Haochen killed Wang Yi with his own hands!

I would like to ask the elders, where in this world can one find such a friend who would risk his life for a friend?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar, and the elders were whispering to each other and discussing.

After all, there is a huge gap in the credibility of what you hear with your own ears and what you see with your own eyes.

Voices may be imitated through special means, but it is extremely difficult to disguise a person!

After all, everyone's habits and unconscious behaviors are very different!

Even those monks who have practiced advanced disguise techniques need time to understand and become familiar with the disguised person.

For a moment, many elders believed what Li Qingyuan said.

......

An elder frowned and whispered:

"If what Junior Brother Li said is true, then there might be something else going on."

Another elder responded with disdain:

"Humph, who knows if he's just making it up? How can we trust his one-sided story so easily?"

Another elder analyzed with a serious look:

"But if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, how could he be so sure? This matter doesn't seem that simple."

"..."

"Li Qingyuan, how can you convince us with just your unfounded words?"

Suddenly, an elder beside Wang Wei stood up and looked at Li Qingyuan aggressively.

"Oh, so you guys know how to talk about evidence."

Li Qingyuan was not afraid at all and immediately retorted,

"Then why do you slander me with just a few empty words?"

In an instant, all the elders seemed to be put under a silencing spell, their eyes rolled around, but they didn't know what to say.

"Haha... Junior Brother Li is quite interesting."

At this time, the old woman surnamed Wu chuckled.

She stared at Li Qingyuan like an eagle, then changed the subject and said:

"However, Junior Brother Li admitted that he killed the Eighth Prince of the Tianwu Dynasty?"

"What's the harm if he kills me? What's the harm if he doesn't?"

Li Qingyuan looked calm and fearless, "Do you really care about the truth of the matter?"

......
