Chapter 63 Choosing one out of three, eliminating two wrong answers, and still getting it wrong is to die from stupidity.

Qingfeng Sect.

Inside the side hall for discussions.

Zheng Xiaofeng stood below with a grievous expression, facing the Sect Leader’s eyes full of doubt.

The Sect Leader asked with suspicion: ”You mean, they just lay by the stream today ordering you around, and did nothing else?”

Zheng Xiaofeng’s gaze and tone were both very sincere: ”Sect Leader, that is indeed the case!”

The Sect Leader was clearly skeptical: ”They didn’t say anything about evil cultivators or any other matter? They just tormented you?”

Zheng Xiaofeng’s tone was both aggrieved and tragic: ”Sect Leader, I have been in the Qingfeng Sect since I was a child. Don’t you know me? My loyalty to the sect is truly absolute!”

This speech seemed to have moved the Sect Leader. He nodded lightly, signaling that Zheng Xiaofeng could withdraw.

Zheng Xiaofeng quickly breathed a sigh of relief. He had managed to get through it, barely.

Regarding the matter of the blood-qi spirit stone, Zheng Xiaofeng did not dare to confess at all.

Damn it, anyone involved in this matter, regardless of which elder it was, was someone he could not afford to provoke.

He had nearly lost his life to advance from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core, only to obtain this position of Grandson Elder.

Moreover, this was very likely a conspiracy among the elders, perhaps even known to the Sect Leader. As someone excluded from the elders’ circle of power, how could he possibly participate in such a matter?

Zheng Xiaofeng hoped to graduate from the Grandson Elder profession, but not the kind of graduation that costs him his life.

This matter could only be treated as if he knew nothing; only then could he protect himself.

A grandson must be a grandson to the end!

Zheng Xiaofeng quickly turned and walked out.

Just as he pushed open the door to the side hall, Zheng Xiaofeng saw Elder Li, who was very close to Elder Shangguan within the sect.

He stood at a distance, just like the Sect Leader, looking at him with the same eyes.

That sound—”Little Zheng.”

It seemed to ring in his ears again...

Damn it, it was one thing to be tormented by outsiders, but now he had to be tormented by his own people?

Could it be that he wasn’t considered a person?

Forget it, he couldn’t afford to provoke any of them.

A forced smile appeared on Zheng Xiaofeng’s face as he quickly walked before Elder Li and said in a humble tone:

”Elder Li, is there something you wish to instruct me?”

Elder Li’s face was stern as he asked in a cold voice: ”What did those disciples from the Tianyun Sect do today?”

Zheng Xiaofeng, with a face full of grievance once again, recounted the events of the day to Elder Li.

Elder Li questioned with suspicion: ”You mean, for the entire day today, they did nothing besides order you around for their amusement?”

The familiar gaze, the familiar questions, only Elder Li’s question was even more excessive.

What did he mean by ordering him around for their amusement?! This was too insulting!

Zheng Xiaofeng suppressed the feelings in his heart and said in his familiar aggrieved tone:

”Elder Li, that is indeed the case...”

Elder Li looked at Zheng Xiaofeng in silence for a moment before asking:

”Then did they ask you anything about evil cultivators today?”

”No... they seemed to be here just to torment me,” Zheng Xiaofeng said sincerely. ”From their appearance, it seems they were just here to complete a sect mission.”

Hearing this, Elder Li nodded slowly in thought. He did not ask further, but simply reached out and gently patted Zheng Xiaofeng’s shoulder, then turned and left.

Zheng Xiaofeng stood in place and looked around to see if anyone else was looking for him.

After a long while, a still-frightened Zheng Xiaofeng slowly returned to his room.

Inside the room, Zheng Xiaofeng tremblingly picked up the tea on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

Recalling all of today’s events, Zheng Xiaofeng immediately came to a conclusion—damn it, none of the three sides treated him as a human!

To vent his frustration, Zheng Xiaofeng—diligently cultivated for the entire night.

The next morning.

Fearing to be late, Zheng Xiaofeng stood early at the main entrance of Qingfeng Sect, standing guard with the group of disciples responsible for protecting the mountain gate.
