What?! All the fairies I topped up have come true?

Off-screen, watching the Lingtian Sword Sect members' attitude towards Lin Qishuang, Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel indignant.

He had never seen so many shameless people.

As the saying goes, a small favor is appreciated, but a large favor breeds resentment!

It seems that Lin Qishuang had been too good to these people in the past, which is why they have become so ungrateful.

No matter what the cost, I will help Lin Qishuang kill these ungrateful bastards today.

Lin Qishuang was naturally unaware that the senior expert who had been saving her was secretly protecting her.

However, looking at the faces of this group of people, she simply couldn't hold back anymore.

Especially the girl in front of him who caused all the conflicts.

With a flash, before anyone could react, Lin Qishuang was already beside the girl in pink.

Upon seeing this, everyone was taken aback and began to shout angrily.

"Demon, what do you intend to do to my junior sister?"

"Traitor, let go of that girl!"

"You wretched creature, come at me if you dare!"

……

However, Lin Qishuang ignored the scolding and curses of others and simply did as she pleased.

The next moment, amidst the astonished and furious gazes of the crowd...

Lin Qishuang reached out and her iron-like fingers gripped the pink-clad girl's neck, slowly lifting her up.

The girl in pink instantly turned red in the face, had difficulty breathing, and gripped Lin Qishuang's wrists tightly with both hands.

Her eyes were filled with terror, all traces of her previous weakness and self-righteousness gone. Her voice was hoarse as she pleaded, "Lin Qi... Senior... Senior Sister, spare... spare my life..."

Seeing her cowardly and afraid-to-die appearance, Lin Qishuang's mockery deepened.

Then, she calmly looked at the crowd around her, and spoke clearly and forcefully, each word carrying throughout the square.

"So, with my cultivation level, if I really wanted to steal something or kill someone to cover it up, what right would a mere piece of trash who's not even at the seventh level of Qi Refining have to resist me?"

"this……"

As Lin Qishuang's resounding words rang out, coupled with the facts before them, everyone fell silent once again.

Yes, Lin Qishuang was already at the peak of Foundation Establishment, and was the revered Qingping Sword Immortal.

Dealing with a pink-clad girl at the seventh level of Qi Refining would be a piece of cake.

If the intention was truly to steal the jade pendant and kill her to silence her, there would be no way to leave her alive.

It was even less likely that she would have the opportunity to run to Master Xuanling and cry her heart out.

Many disciples who were unaware of the situation showed obvious doubt on their faces, and for the first time, their eyes looked at the girl in pink with a hint of suspicion.

The junior sister usually seems weak, but today's events seem to be quite strange.

Xuanling Zhenren's face was ashen, and the pressure from his Golden Core cultivation grew increasingly violent. He stared intently at Lin Qishuang, gritting his teeth as he said:

"You wicked creature! How dare you hold a fellow disciple hostage in public! Your crime is doubly grave! Release Qingyao immediately, or I will tear you to pieces and condemn you to eternal damnation!"

He was both anxious and angry. Qingyao was his most beloved disciple, and he could not afford to let anything happen to her.

Moreover, given the current situation, we absolutely cannot allow this evil to continue.

Otherwise, Qingyao's secret might be exposed.

Lin Qishuang sneered and slightly tightened her fingers.

The girl in pink found it increasingly difficult to breathe, her face turned from red to purple, and her pleas became weaker.

"Let her go? You old thief Xuanling, why don't you let her tell me whether I stole her jade pendant back then?"

Did you ambush me and expel me from your sect because of her instigation?

"I...I didn't...it wasn't me..."

The girl in pink trembled all over, her eyes darting away, not daring to look Lin Qishuang in the eye.

He didn't dare look at the people around him and could only keep shaking his head and pleading.

Her panic only confirmed the doubts in everyone's hearts, and the discussion in the square gradually rose.

"Something's not right, why isn't Junior Sister saying anything?"

"Yes, Master... that traitor is right. With her strength, if she really wanted to make a move, Junior Sister wouldn't have a chance to resist at all..."

"Could it be that what happened back then was really a case of junior sister framing senior sister?"

The murmurs grew louder, and Master Xuanling's expression became increasingly grim.

He knew that if things continued like this, Qingyao's lies would be exposed sooner or later, and the sect would lose face.

He suddenly roared, his body surging with black energy, and his natal magic weapon, the Xuan Yin Sword, appeared out of thin air, pointing directly at Lin Qishuang:

"You wretched creature! Stop trying to sow discord! Today, I'll kill you first to cleanse the house!"

Before he finished speaking, Xuanling Zhenren flashed forward and rushed towards Lin Qishuang like an arrow released from a bow.

The Xuan Yin Sword, imbued with dense black energy and carrying the immense spiritual power of a Golden Core cultivator, aimed directly at Lin Qishuang's heart.

They attacked with deadly moves, leaving no room for retreat.

Lin Qishuang was prepared, and she tightened her grip on the pink-clad girl's hand slightly, shielding her in front of her.

At the same time, he slightly shifted his body to the side, avoiding Xuanling Zhenren's fatal blow.

"You old scoundrel Xuanling, you're in such a hurry. Are you afraid she'll reveal the truth and ruin your reputation? Or is there some unspeakable secret between you two?"

"Pfft—" The Xuan Yin Sword grazed the sleeve of the girl in pink, tearing it and leaving a shallow wound.

The girl in pink was terrified and blurted out, "Father, Father, save me... Senior Sister, I was wrong, I shouldn't have framed you. It was Father who told me to frame you. It has nothing to do with me. Please forgive me..."

These words, though spoken softly, reached the ears of everyone present clearly.

These words, though not spoken loudly, exploded like thunder in the square, clearly reaching the ears of everyone present.

The square fell into a deathly silence; you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the girl in pink, then turned to look at Xuanling Zhenren.

His face was filled with shock and disbelief, as if he had heard a fairy tale.

Father?!

Junior Sister actually called Sect Master Xuanling "Father"?!

It turns out that everything back then was actually her framing of Lin Qishuang!

This seemingly frail and helpless girl in pink, who appeared to be orphaned, was not an orphan at all; she was actually the biological daughter of the sect leader, Master Xuanling!

"This...how is this possible? Junior Sister is actually the Sect Master's daughter?"

"No wonder the sect leader always favored his junior sister, no wonder he expelled his senior sister from the sect without even asking what happened! So that's why!"

"Good heavens! We've been fooled by the sect leader and junior sister for so long!"

After a deathly silence, the square erupted in a commotion more violent than ever before.

The crowd murmured amongst themselves, their gazes towards Xuanling Zhenren and the girl in pink filled with shock and disappointment.

Those disciples who had previously insulted and been hostile towards Lin Qishuang were now so ashamed that they wanted to disappear, and they all lowered their heads.

They actually aided and abetted the evildoers, wrongly accusing a great hero who had risked his life for the sect.

Lin Qishuang smiled coldly, not caring about the belated repentance of these people in front of her, and just let out a series of cold laughs.

"I see, I see... Hahahaha..."
