Chapter 1338 Grudges

Bai Jin turned her head back speechlessly and said to the phone, "I can tell, Ms. Si Teng, you do have something to discuss."

"It seems you're quite a clever person!" Si Teng praised, then continued, "I wonder how old the fairy Shen Cuiqiao is?"

The question came as abruptly as Bai Jin was caught off guard and didn't know how to answer. He turned to look at Shen Yindeng.

Shen Cuiqiao is Shen Yindeng's grandmaster, so she has the most authority to speak on this matter.

Shen Yindeng coldly replied, "My great-grandfather died before he was thirty!"

Sito sighed, "Oh dear, what a pity that he died so young!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yindeng immediately questioned, "Poisoning and scheming, what exactly do you mean?"

Si Teng looked at Lin Hao: "He asked me what I meant, so what do you think I meant?"

Lin Hao said speechlessly, "What does this have to do with me? You can mean whatever you want!"

"Hmph!" Si Teng snorted, glancing at Lin Hao with annoyance, and leaned closer to the phone's microphone to say:
"Then let's sit down and have a meal together, and have a proper discussion about what this means!"

Shen Yindeng coldly replied, "Is this my last meal before execution?"

"That's overthinking it!" Si Teng chuckled and said, "Firstly, I'm not interested in the head of the Suspense Master, and secondly, you are all the best of the Suspense School, the elite of education!"

"If I were to be disrespectful to you all, I would be making an enemy of the entire world of Xuanmen. I would never dare to do such a thing."

"So you do know about taboos?" Shen Yindeng was somewhat smug and spoke very rudely.

Bai Jin was somewhat skeptical and asked her again to confirm, "Ms. Si Teng, is it really a dinner invitation?"

Si Teng said earnestly, "I'll really treat you to a meal!"

After hanging up the phone, Bai Jin addressed the crowd at Changming Academy: "Everyone heard what Si Teng said!"

Ding Dacheng said with a displeased expression:

"What does she mean by that? If you were in her shoes, would you believe that someone would go to such lengths, even risking your life, just to treat you to a meal?"

"Oh dear!" Platinum said, somewhat speechless, "What else could it be? If she wanted to kill you, she wouldn't be alive now! The fact that she could have killed you but didn't means she must have something to discuss with you!"

"So this banquet is quite interesting, but we'll only find out the details once we get there!"

Everyone nodded subconsciously, agreeing with Bai Jin's words; Si Teng might indeed have something to ask of him.

At this moment, the highly respected President Cang Hong said, "I think we should call Grandma Huang Cuilan and ask her. She provided the solution to the Vine Killing Technique, so she must know something about Si Teng. We might be able to get more information from her."

In Cangshan City, Lin Hao looked at Si Teng and said, "I'll go and set a time, choose a restaurant, and book a private room in a bit!"

Si Teng smiled and praised, "This child is teachable!"

Lin Hao leaned closer to Si Teng and smiled slightly, "Since I've been taking you here and there like this, is there any reward for me?"

Si Tengyi looked at Lin Hao without fear and asked in return, "What reward do you want?"

"Tsk~!" Taking advantage of Si Teng's inattention, Lin Hao lowered his head and kissed her flawless face hard before running away.

"Lin Hao, you~!" Si Teng's fair cheeks flushed slightly.

As night fell, in Changming Academy, President Canghong opened his tablet and made a video call, briefly recounting what had happened.

Grandma Huang was also astonished: "My mother has never mentioned that Si Teng is poisonous. I don't think she even knew it herself."

Guild Master Cang Hong sighed: "But it turns out that it really is poisonous!"

Shen Yindeng said, "As far as I know, Si Teng and Qiu Shan have been fighting for so many years, and your mother is so familiar with Qiu Shan, and she personally participated in the killing of Si Teng. Surely she knows everything?"

Huang Cuilan's mother was Huang Yu. She was invited to help Qiu Shan kill Si Teng. Later, she went to Sichuan and became very close to Qiu Shan.

Many people know these things, so it's normal for Shen Yindeng to have this question.

President Cang Hong said, "That's all in the past. Bringing it up now would probably damage Master Qiu Shan's reputation."

"Huh?" Upon hearing President Cang Hong mention the matter of his master's reputation, Yan Furui's eyes widened instantly, and he became somewhat nervous.

Ding Dacheng shouted, "Qiu Shan has been dead for so many years, we don't even know his exact appearance. Is the reputation of the dead more important, or the lives of us living people?"

"Hey, what are you saying? Can you be a little more discreet with your words?" Yan Furui stood up and glared angrily at Ding Dacheng for his rude attitude towards his master.

Ding Dacheng, also hot-tempered, stood up and grabbed Yan Furui by the collar, saying, "Isn't this Qiu Shan's disciple? We have something to ask him!"

Yan Furui pushed Ding Dacheng's hand away, wanting to teach him a lesson.

In Yan Furui's heart, his master was always so virtuous, kind and loving, and he would not allow anyone to speak ill of his master.

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Bai Jin kicked Ma Qiuyang's chair with a "bang".

Ma Qiuyang smiled knowingly, stood up and advised, "Please calm down, both of you."

"Sit down, sit down!" President Cang Hong said at the right time.

Ding Dacheng calmed down before sitting down, but Yan Furui leaned close to the tablet, looking at the image of old Mrs. Huang Cuilan on it, and said:
"Grandma Huang, Qiu Shan is my master. I was raised by Qiu Shan. What exactly happened? Please explain it to me clearly."

Grandma Huang sighed and asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "It's true that he raised you, but you definitely didn't join the Suspended Sect, right?"

Yan Furui nodded: "Yes! I have never learned the Suspended Gate technique in accordance with my master's orders. Could it be related to what you are about to say?"

Grandma Huang sighed and said, "That's right, Qiu Shan cannot accept disciples at the Xuanmen Sect!"

Yan Furui's eyes widened: "Why?!"

You should know that although he obeyed his master's orders and did not learn the Suspended Gate Technique, Qiu Shan had never told him the reason why he could not practice the Suspended Gate Technique over the years.

He was very confused about this and asked his master, but his master never explained it to him.

But he respected his teachers and elders, and he listened to whatever Qiu Shan said.

He also asked several elderly people near Cangcheng Mountain, but no one knew why.

Now that Old Mrs. Huang knew the reason, he was naturally shocked.

President Cang Hong said in a deep voice, "Because Si Teng's transformation was orchestrated by Qiu Shan, which means that Si Teng was raised by Qiu Shan." "My master said that this is not a glorious thing, and told everyone to keep quiet about it! But even if it is a bad thing, it is still a lesson for future generations."

"I remember it very clearly, Sito said that she would definitely come back!"

Upon hearing this secret, everyone was incredibly surprised. They never imagined that Si Teng was raised by Qiu Shan, which fueled their curiosity even more.

Upon hearing this, Yan Furui immediately became anxious. Could it be that his master had really done something that damaged his reputation?

He immediately looked at President Cang Hong with red eyes and asked, "President, you said that Si Teng was raised and nurtured by my master. What exactly do you mean by that?"

"Alas!" President Cang Hong said slowly, "Since ancient times, our Suspended Sect has always been strict in its hierarchy. Qiu Shan has some skills and is arrogant, but he has repeatedly run into obstacles because of his humble origins. In his anger and embarrassment, he had evil thoughts. He used a method to make Si Teng mutate and use it for his own purposes."

Pan Qinian frowned and asked, "Do you mean he wants a member of the Yi tribe to serve him, to cooperate from the inside and outside, and to orchestrate this whole thing himself?"

"Then he'd let the Ju tribe rebel, and then quell the rebellion? Repeat this several times, ultimately reaping both fame and fortune?"

When Yan Furui heard someone slandering his respected master, how could he tolerate it?
Upon hearing this, he angrily pointed at Pan Qinian and questioned him:

"What makes you say that? What makes you slander my master? Do you have any evidence? What makes you speculate about him? Show me your evidence!"

Wang Qiankun tugged at Yan Furui, trying to calm him down.

Yan Furui calmed himself down slightly and looked at President Cang Hong, saying, "President, you are highly respected. This matter concerns my master's reputation. Please speak responsibly!"

"I take full responsibility for every word I say!" President Cang Hong said earnestly, then continued as if lost in thought:
"Although Qiu Shan did this, he couldn't shake off the traditional Xuanmen mentality. He regarded the Kai clan as the lowest of the low and looked down on them, yet he wanted to rely on them to gain fame. He was extremely conflicted, so he treated Si Teng very badly."

Although President Cang Hong put it very tactfully, everyone wasn't stupid and naturally understood the meaning behind his words: Qiu Shan was probably not treating Si Teng well at all.

Sure enough, at this moment, President Cang Hong continued to speak:
“My mother said that before Si Teng was ten years old, he was always kept in a cage where cats and dogs were kept.”

Hearing this, Wang Qiankun said indignantly, "This is absolutely outrageous!"

Then, he noticed Yan Furui, who was slumped in a chair and motionless, and quickly covered his mouth.

No matter what, Qiu Shan is Yan Furui's teacher, so it's not appropriate to speak ill of his teacher in front of him.

Ding Dacheng was listening intently when he suddenly noticed that Cang Hong had stopped talking, so he couldn't help but ask, "Old Chairman, what happened next?"

Recalling what happened back then, President Cang Hong said with emotion, "Later, with Si Teng's help, Qiu Shan got what he wanted, and they were very proud of themselves!"

"But his biggest mistake was treating Si Teng like a dog, completely unaware that Si Teng was a wolf with blood still stained, and all of this was caused by the word 'love'."

"It is said that Si Teng met a rich young master and fell in love with him, but Qiu Shan soon discovered it. Qiu Shan regards Si Teng as a lowlife!"

"She thought it was outrageous that different species could develop feelings for each other, so she devised a plan to force Si Teng to reveal her true form in front of that young master!"

From afar, Old Mrs. Huang continued through the tablet: "Not long after, Qiu Shan, who had already achieved great success, finally got his wish and chose an auspicious day to officially join the Changming Mountain sect of the Xuanmen!"

"That day was the most glorious day of his life, and also the most shameful day. In one day, he fell from the peak of his life to utter ruin."

"Qiu Shan did indeed use methods to restrain Si Teng, so he never paid too much attention to her. He never expected that Si Teng would find those Suspense Masters who opposed Qiu Shan's conferment of titles before he received the grand ceremony."

"Yan Ming said that as long as the restraints on her body are removed, she will reveal a secret about Qiu Shan that will make him despise the Xuanmen sect for the rest of his life."

Ding Dacheng frowned and asked, "But we can't just cooperate with her like this, can we?"

Grandma Huang Cuilan said, "When it came to trading with them, even the most skilled martial artists hesitated, since cooperating with the Ru tribe wasn't exactly a glorious thing!"

"However, after careful consideration, they decided to grant her request for the time being, and then kill her once and for all after Si Teng exposed Qiu Shan!"

"Who knew that after Si Teng exposed Qiu Shan, he would unleash the Vine Killer while everyone was in a state of agitation. Everyone was caught off guard. At this moment, Shen Cuiqiao chased after him. During the fight, the Vine Killer was activated, and she was seriously injured!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yindeng said bitterly, "My great-master died when he was not even thirty years old!"

"Oh!" Ding Dacheng had been displeased with Shen Yindeng for a long time, so he sneered, "No wonder she's all looks and no use. It turns out her grandmaster died young!"

Ding Dacheng was a taxi driver. He had brought Shen Yindeng to Changming Academy, and out of consideration for her being a member of the Xuanmen sect like himself, he did not charge her fare.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yindeng was arrogant and ignored him completely. In the end, she not only didn't pay, but also didn't say a word of thanks!

The fact that she walked past him with such an arrogant expression would make anyone feel bad.

Shen Yindeng was furious upon hearing this and said, "What did you say?"

Real estate agent Pan Qinian chimed in, "He's not wrong. It's not shameful to be incompetent! Don't pretend to know what you don't, or you'll drag us all down with you."

Clearly, Shen Yindeng wasn't the only one who disliked her; after all, her aloof personality made her difficult to approach.

"you……!"

Shen Yindeng was furious. She stood up and angrily pointed at Pan Qinian.

"Thump!" Bai Jin kicked Ma Qiuyang's bench again.

Ma Qiuyang stood up at the right moment to act as a peacemaker: "Alright, alright, stop arguing, we're all on the same side."

Once everyone quieted down, Ma Qiuyang turned to look at President Cang Hong and asked, "What happened between Si Teng and Qiu Shan afterward?"

President Cang Hong continued, "Qiu Shan knew that the situation was hopeless, so he made a solemn oath before all the masters: Si Teng was born from him, and he will definitely sever the ties with his own hands!"

"Qiu Shan searched for Si Teng's whereabouts all the way until 1946, when the Suspenders took advantage of Si Teng's weakness after giving birth and killed her in one fell swoop!"

Wang Qiankun asked timidly, "What happened to that child later?"

"Sigh!" The old chairman sighed deeply without saying a word, but from his expression, everyone knew that Qiu Shan had probably done something bad, and the child must have been killed.

After listening to the old chairman's words, everyone's thoughts changed almost simultaneously.

After all, times have changed. Nowadays, both the Yi tribe and the Xuan Shi have long lost their original concept of irreconcilable conflict due to peaceful times.

Moreover, so many years have passed, and it's not just the grudges of the previous generation, but also the fact that Si Teng herself is a victim, and it's the sins committed by Qiu Shan, the master of the Suspense Sect. Therefore, the majority of people still sympathize with Si Teng.

After listening, Wang Qiankun said with some pity, "In that case, Si Teng is more pitiful!"

After hearing the whole story, Yan Furui was already in tears. He never imagined that his master was such a person in the past.

In his mind, Qiu Shan had always been a tall and mighty man, but he never expected that the truth was that he was a ruthless person.

Sitting next to Yan Furui, Ding Dacheng patted Yan Furui on the shoulder and said sarcastically, "It's all thanks to his good master!"
