Master, don't tease me, you can't handle three of them.

Chapter 157 Is it too late to withdraw from the competition now?

"Come on, tell me, was it me who harmed my fellow disciples back then?"

Wu Hu tried to shut up, but his mouth was out of his control, and he spilled the whole story of how they tried to kill Zheng Hongliang back then.

Jingyou smiled throughout, but the smile never reached his eyes. He had once imagined that one day he would crush those who had humiliated him in front of everyone.

That would be really cool.

But now, Jingyou no longer feels that way. He's completely indifferent to the past. He's even a little bored...

But he had to do it; he needed to wash away the stains on his past. That way, anyone who saw him would only call him Jingyou, and he would simply be Jingyou.

Jingyou turned his gaze to Zheng Hongtian, his father, who had never cared about these things.

I used to ignore those who bullied me, and I won't care about vindicating myself now.

That's really true, impartial and unbiased...

As everyone listened to what Wu Hu said, they couldn't help but look at Jing You with pity.

Even if his cultivation level was lower in the past, he still suffered so much, was framed by his fellow disciples, was stripped of his status as the young sect leader, and carried such a stigma for so long. Isn't that too pitiful?

Suddenly, Gu Meng shouted, "Xiao You! Are you done yet? If you are, your senior sister will take you out for a nice meal!"

Shi Chuan chimed in, "It's my treat."

Everyone was silent.

What a load of rubbish!

He's now under Jingyou, Hanluo Immortal Venerable's command, and with his senior brothers and sisters protecting him, his cultivation is even more outstanding than theirs. Any magical artifact he casually pulls out is no ordinary item. How is he pitiful?! They are the ones who should be pitied!!!

Hearing this, Jingyou felt a warmth in his heart, and his eyes curved into a smile. "Okay."

Why did some of the female cultivators present blush slightly and feel a little flutter in their hearts when they saw Jingyou like this?

Jingyou kicked Wu Hu out of the arena and said to the crowd who were still enjoying the show, "The effects of the pill haven't worn off yet. You can ask him anything you want to know."

Everyone: "!!!"

This guy is actually pretty nice; he let us have a gossip session!

After the elders announced the winner, Jingyou and Gumeng left together.

After they left, the people from Yaoyang Sect rushed to Wu Hu, attempting to take him away before he could say anything he shouldn't have.

But we can't get past it!

When the people of the Cloud Burial Sect realized their intentions, they deliberately blocked their way.

The people from the Cloud Burial Sect blocked the way while saying, "We're so sorry, there are too many people, we can't move..."

The people from the Yaoyang Sect: "..."

Do they think they're idiots?!

Yu Fan became even more unscrupulous, directly asking Wu Hu what other despicable things he had done, who else had bullied Jing You, and who else.

Wu Hu wished he could just die, but his mouth kept telling the truth.

The most distinctive characteristic of the Yunzang Sect is its protectiveness of its own. The person who bullied their sect was none other than their Uncle Jing Shu's younger brother; they held a grudge.

Those whose names were called by Wu Hu involuntarily stiffened for a moment, but soon they rushed in even harder. They didn't know if other sects remembered, but the people of the Cloud Burial Sect definitely remembered.

Is it too late to withdraw from the competition now...?

Seeing this, people from other sects became even more excited and quietly followed the Yunzang Sect members to block them. They reasoned that the law would not punish the masses, and besides, they had not committed any crimes.

Private duels are forbidden during sect competitions, but they didn't fight at all.

On the high platform, Su Manyi couldn't help but laugh, "Fan Qingyan, as expected of someone from your sect."

Fan Qingyan said with great pride, "That's right! If our sect doesn't protect them, who will? Sect Leader Zheng, don't you agree?"

Li Ning didn't expect Fan Qingyan to greet him so directly on the face. Among the six major sects, harmony is usually the most important thing.

But Fan Qingyan wasn't entirely wrong. After all, Jingyou was Zheng Hongtian's biological son. His own son was being abused like this by people in the sect, and Zheng Hongtian didn't even care.

To be honest, he doesn't deserve to be Jingyou's father.

Zheng Hongtian understood Fan Qingyan's implied meaning and simply said, "Zheng Hongliang has died and his cultivation has vanished. What Sect Master Fan said is naturally correct."

Lu Jing turned away and rolled his eyes. He knew it. Fan Qingyan was afraid that Zheng Hongtian wanted to take Jingyou back.

Jingyou revealed his cultivation level five years ago, but now he has reached the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage. He must have had some great opportunity. Fan Qingyan certainly won't let go of such a precious genius.

Fan Qingyan nodded in satisfaction and said nothing more. If Zheng Hongtian didn't agree, he would have to resort to force.

He had just seen his martial uncle and Jing Shu, and his own master was right there. His martial uncle didn't even need to lift a finger; with his master standing there, how could he dare refuse?

Jingyou's past has been mostly resolved, and his junior brother has also woken up. Fan Qingyan couldn't be happier.

Zhang Tianxing just smiled and remained silent, watching the farce unfold below as if what was happening was more interesting than what they were talking about.

--------------

"How is it? The whip your senior sister gave you, is it useful?" Gu Meng raised her chin slightly and said with a proud look.

"Mmm!" Jingyou smiled and accepted the candied hawthorn from Shichuan, replying, "The best is what Senior Sister gives you!"

"That is..." Before Gu Meng could finish speaking, a voice suddenly rang in their ears.

"Haven't seen you for days, Xiao You and Meng'er have become so close? She even calls him 'Senior Sister,' it seems something has happened that I don't know about..."

The three of them looked up suddenly. On the steps, Jing Shu and Han Luo were standing there. Jing Shu had a slight smile on his lips as he greeted them in a teasing manner.

"elder brother!"

"Senior brother! Master!"

Jingyou and Gumeng became visibly excited and ran to Jingshu.

Gu Meng threw herself into Jing Shu's arms, "Senior Brother! You're finally awake!"

Jing Shu caught Gu Meng steadily, nodded to Shi Chuan who was equally happy, and then used one hand to rub Jing You's head beside him.

"Yes, I'm fine. Xiaoyou, you did a great job."

When Jing Shu and Han Luo arrived, they witnessed Jing You unilaterally crushing that person and also saw Jing You vindicate himself.

However, he did not choose to go over there. If he had, Jingyou probably wouldn't have stayed on the field.

Feeling the touch on his head, Jingyou felt a sudden lump in his throat, but he still smiled.

"With so much help from my brother, if I still can't do it well, then it's my fault. Besides, my senior brother, senior sister, and the people in the sect all protect me."

Gu Meng clung to Jing Shu, saying, "I completed the task my senior brother gave me perfectly, and I didn't let anyone bully my junior brother!"

"Meng'er is so great!" Jing Shu looked at Gu Meng and, seeing her eager to praise him, patted her head.

Gu Meng was about to say something when her collar was grabbed, and she was forced to leave Jing Shu's body...

Not everyone in the Yaoyang Sect is evil, but because Zheng Hongtian doesn't care, many people like to bully Zheng Hongliang, who is an easy target.
