Questions?

Their biggest question was the identity and background of the old man in front of them. However, how could they dare to ask about it? They could only remain silent. Their Venerable Masters had died, the glory of the Tuoba clan and Yannan would soon fade away. Even if they knew the answer to the question now, what was the use?

Moreover, Tuoba Sicheng’s death really could not be blamed on anyone else.

Silence reigned over the place.

After a moment, Qin Renyue said, “Elder Tuoba, do you have anything to say?”

Tuoba Hong inhaled deeply before he said, “With Venerable Master Qin presiding over this matter, we naturally have no objections and questions.”

“Since that’s the case, you should apologize for coming here and causing a ruckus,” Qin Renyue said.

Tuoba Hong turned around to face Ye Wei and Yannan’s disciples. “There was a misunderstanding earlier. I apologize to Elder Ye and Yannan. I hope everyone can forgive me.”

Ye Wei was not in the mood to bicker about this. Ye Zheng’s death had taken a toll on him as well.

Qin Renyue said, “What else?”

“This…” Tuoba Hong was confused. He had already apologized; what else was there to do? When he looked up, he saw Qin Renyue shooting him a look. Realization dawned on him immediately, and he hurriedly said to Lu Zhou, “Our Venerable Master was at fault. I hope you won’t take offense, old sir.”

Lu Zhou remained silent. After all, he had told Qin Renyue to deal with it.

Tuoba Hong did not know what to do when he saw Lu Zhou keeping quiet. He glanced at Qin Renyue and saw Qin Renyue winking at him.

Tuoba Hong. “…”

Usually, it was others who had to figure out Tuoba Hong’s meaning. Now that he had to figure out what another person’s meant, he was naturally not very good at it.

Tuoba Hong was still thinking about what Qin Renyue meant, Qin Renyue turned around and asked, “Brother Lu, are you satisfied with the way I dealt with this matter?”

“Since I said you should preside over it, I naturally have nothing to say about your decision,” Lu Zhou said.

Tuoba Hong was lost in his thoughts. A vague idea formed in his mind as he drew inspiration from the people around him. Then, he quickly said, “Old sir, I have two mystic microstones. The Tuoba clan spent several painstaking years to find them…”

As Tuoba Hong spoke, he waved his hand at the older cultivator and ordered them to retrieve the mystic microstones.

“There’s no need for that.” Lu Zhou waved his hand. He did not have so much time to wait for them to bring the mystic microstones here. After all, no one would carry treasures like the mystic microstones everywhere they went.

Tuoba Hong was stunned. Logically speaking, he should be happy that Lu Zhou refused his offer. However, sometimes, refusal was not a good thing at this moment. It was either his apology was deemed insincere or he had thoroughly offended the person in front of him that two mystic microstones were not enough to solve the problem. With this thought in mind, he hurriedly brought out a milky-white jade talisman. Then, he came before Lu Zhou and presented it to Lu Zhou as he decisively said, “Please accept this. I hope you won’t disdain it.”

Everyone looked over.

Zhao Yu said with a smile. “To think you’re willing to part with it.”

“Collective Jade Talisman?” Yu Zhenghai had a vague impression of it since he had seen Fan Zhong and Yan Zhenluo using it.

Lu Zhou hesitated slightly. He did not lead everyone here to ask for these things. After all, he was not a bandit. Why was it that everything he did seemed to be extortion? However, there was no doubt the Collective Teleportation Jade Talisman was a treasure. Not only could it save one’s life, but he could use it to quickly return to help his people. Now that the imbalance had worsened, a disaster might befall the golden lotus domain in the future.

While Lu Zhou was hesitating, Tuoba Hong said again, “Old sir, please don’t refuse me. I’m very sincere about this.”

Lu Zhou said, “There’s a debtor for every debt. How can I blame you for Tuoba Sicheng’s mistakes?”

Tuoba Hong was overjoyed upon hearing these words. He immediately pushed the jade talisman over and said, “Thank you, old sir, for being so understanding. Please accept this jade talisman.”

“Alright. Old Fourth.” Lu Zhou waved his sleeve.

Mingshi Yin nodded and casually waved his hand, bringing the jade talisman to his hand.

Tuoba Hong sighed in relief. He knew it was time to leave. If he stayed on any longer, who knew if the situation would change? Hence, he said, “Sorry for disturbing everyone today. I’ll visit another day to apologize to Yannan. I’ll take my leave now.”

“I won’t see you out,” Ye Wei said.

Tuoba Hong waved at his clansmen.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Soon enough, the people from the Tuoba clan vanished into the clouds.

…

After flying for 100 miles, Tuoba Hong finally came to a stop. He turned to look in the direction of Yannan.

“Elder Tuoba, did Venerable Master Tuoba die in vain?” a disciple, who still could not accept the reality, asked.

Tuoba Hong said in a deep voice, “There’s no reason for Young Master Zhao to lie. Even Venerable Master Qin believed him. What else can we do?”

Everyone fell silent.

“First Elder, if everything is true, then that old man doesn’t seem like an evil person. There’s no need to offer him the Collective Transportation Jade Talisman, right? How good would it be if he didn’t accept it.”

Now that the Tuoba Clan no longer had a Venerable Master, the clan was likely to decline. With that, there would be no lack of people who would trample on them when they were down. The coming days would only be miserable.

Tuoba Hong sighed. “You’re all still too young.”

The Tuoba clan had no relationship with Lu Zhou at all. Instead, they had gotten on his bad side. If they could solve the problem with words alone, then what was the point of cultivating?

…

After watching the Tuoba clan leave, Qin Renyue nodded. He turned around and asked, “Brother Lu, are you satisfied?”

Lu Zhou shook his head.

Qin Renyue was taken aback. He asked, “Brother Lu, what do you mean?”

Lu Zhou only said three words, “Qin Naihe.”

Qin Renyue frowned upon hearing these three words. “Brother Lu, you know our Qin clan’s Free Man?”

“It’s more than just knowing him.”

“He’s a traitor of the Qin clan. Moshang died a suspicious death so he can’t shirk his responsibility. If Brother Lu is privy to his whereabouts, I hope you can tell me,” Qin Renyue said.

“He’s now one of my men,” Lu Zhou said indifferently.

Qin Renyue. “?”

Several disciples from the Qin clan looked over with shocked expressions on their faces.

Lu Zhou continued to say, “I’m only telling you this because you’re smart. If it were anyone else, I wouldn’t have bothered.”

Qin Renyue suppressed the shock in his heart and asked with a frown, “Brother Lu, what happened?”

Lu Zhou rose from his seat and placed his hands on his back as he walked to the edge of the cloud platform. He looked at the mountains and the land that stretched out before his eyes as he slowly said, “Quite a while ago, I was cultivating in seclusion near the Cold Pond on the peak of a mountain in the red lotus domain. At that time, Qin Moshang ambushed me. I saw that he was young so I only destroyed one of his Birth Charts as punishment.”

“…”

Qin Renyue’s eyes widened. It felt as though an electric current was traveling through his body, and his hair stood on end. He instinctively took a few steps back.

Lu Zhou did not pay attention to Qin Renyue’s reaction and continued to say, “However, I didn’t expect that kid to be so stubborn. Not only was he unrepentant, but he even tried to seek revenge.”

Qin Renyue’s voice trembled as he asked, “Brother Lu, you killed Moshang?”

Lu Zhou turned around. His gaze was profound as he looked at Qin Renyue and asked in return, “Do you think I shouldn’t have killed him?”

Qin Renyue did not know how to answer this question.

The people from the Qin clan were speechless.

Despite the gloomy atmosphere, Mingshi Yin scoffed coldly before he said, “Qin Moshang sent one ghost servant first. Later, he brought two ghost servants and Qin Naihe with him. You should know the strength of these people very well…”

Qin Renyue. “…”

Mingshi Yin continued to say, “I heard Qin Moshang was Venerable Master Qin’s successor. I don’t believe that Venerable Master Qin is unaware of his temperament…”

These words hit the nail on the head… of Qin Renyue.
