Chapter 491: Chapter 491: Starting Trouble
Mount Song Sect?
Hearing that name, all the martial artists present were stunned and very proactively cleared a path.
Since the Mount Song Sect took the position of leader of the Five Peaks Alliance from the Mount Hua Sect that year, the entire Mount Song Sect gradually prospered and rose to prominence. The leader of the Mount Song Sect, Zuo Lengchan, had outstanding martial arts, and his signature frigid ice true qi was renowned throughout the land.
His sect was also full of talented individuals, with the Thirteen Protectors each being widely famous. In recent years, some people even felt that Mount Song had developed to the point where it was about to rival Shaolin and Wudang, the two leading orthodox sects.
Seeing the Mount Song Sect arrive, all the martial arts practitioners present naturally had to step aside. They didn’t want to offend such a giant.
As the path was cleared, the first person to catch everyone’s eye was Ding Mian, holding the Five Peaks Command Flag, also known as the Pagoda Hand. Following him were Lu Bai, the Crane Hand, and Fei Bin, the Great Mount Song Hand.
They completely ignored everyone else present and headed straight for Liu Zhengfeng. As expected, the question they asked was about his association with Qu Yang, an elder of the Demonic Cult.
The two sides exchanged sharp words, making Li Mochou shake her head.
Doujin Artist: Are they stupid? Is this Liu Zhengfeng really stupid? Why did he so brazenly admit to being involved with Qu Yang? It feels like he completely misjudged the situation!
Curly-haired Guy: I don’t think he misjudged the situation; I think he saw it clearly but still wanted to admit it.
Machete Girl: ? What kind of move is that?
Foul-Mouthed Mask Guy: Love, this is true love! For the man he loves, he’s completely disregarding everything else. Damn it, I’m starting to believe in love again!
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: It’s not love, right? This should just be friendship?
Lin Fengjiao: Hard to say, whether it’s friendship or love... perhaps only they themselves know.
If it were the Lin Jiu of the past, he would have no doubt that this was a profound friendship between two people with similar hobbies. But now, after the long-term teachings and examples of the seasoned members of the group, his values had shifted.
This, in a way, also proved that the old hands were truly harmful. Even a man as "proper" as Uncle Nine had been completely led astray.
Machete Girl: To say it’s just simple friendship is a bit far-fetched. Look at the expression on Liu Zhengfeng’s face when he talks about Qu Yang; it looks like the genuine emotion of a lover confessing.
This is an Actor: Now that you mention it, I feel like Mochou is getting goosebumps.
After all, Li Mochou was on the scene and saw the micro-expressions on Liu Zhengfeng’s face more clearly. She had to admit that Katsura Kotonoha was telling the truth; Liu Zhengfeng’s fair and clean face was indeed filled with deep affection.
"This is really a bit cheesy," Li Mochou murmured softly.
"I agree," Qu Feiyan chimed in with a laugh beside her. "I even feel that Uncle Liu and my grandfather... don’t seem like just close friends."
The young lady here saying "not quite like close friends" was clearly implying they were more like lovers. But Liu Qing, the well-bred young lady, didn’t quite understand and asked curiously, "Then what kind of relationship is it?"
"It’s hard to say; it’s too early for you, Sister Qingqing," Qu Feiyan said softly.
This statement was somewhat amusing, as she was two years younger than Liu Qing, yet claimed it was too early for her. However, neither Li Mochou nor Liu Qing felt anything out of place.
This was because compared to Liu Qing, who stayed home obediently learning "womanly virtues" every day, Qu Feiyan was a true wild child. At the young age of eight, she had already started traveling extensively with her grandfather, venturing into the martial world.
Therefore, both in terms of experience and knowledge, she was far ahead of Liu Qing.
"Shut up, you shameless person!" Just as this small group was talking, Fei Bin, holding the Five Peaks Command Flag, suddenly shouted loudly. "Liu Zhengfeng, the evidence of you colluding with the Demonic Cult is conclusive! And you remain unrepentant, utterly foolish! Today, all righteous path practitioners should strike you down!"
With that, Fei Bin waved his hand. "Please, Abbess Dingyi and the Hengshan sisters, stand to the left!"
"Foolish, foolish!" Abbess Dingyi sighed deeply, looking at Liu Zhengfeng, and led the Hengshan disciples to the left side of the venue with some helplessness.
This abbess, who was well-versed in Buddhist principles, didn’t actually believe Liu Zhengfeng had done anything wrong. Buddhism often preached the equality of all sentient beings, so were the people of the Sun Moon Holy Cult not sentient beings?
However, one could not go against the tide. The Mount Song Sect was dead set on attacking Liu Zhengfeng, thereby forcing the other sects of the Five Peaks Alliance to take sides. This wasn’t about combating the Demonic Cult; it was actually about eliminating dissenters.
Dingyi understood this perfectly but could only go with the flow.
Relying on Hengshan alone would by no means be able to contend with Mount Song. The two were not even on the same scale; rash resistance would inevitably bring about a devastating blow to the entire Hengshan sect.
Seeing Hengshan submit, Fei Bin, with evident satisfaction, then called out to two other sects within the Five Peaks Alliance. Naturally, Mount Tai and Mount Hua could not go against the current at this time and also moved to the left.
The most ridiculous part was Yue Buqun, who hypocritically offered words of comfort to Liu Zhengfeng, hoping to make a final appeal. He knew in his heart that Liu Zhengfeng would never heed his advice, yet he still acted this way.
His aim was to maintain his "gentle and amiable" gentleman swordsman image in front of everyone and solidify his persona.
And at the scene within the entire Hengshan villa, the Five Peaks Sword Sect naturally held the greatest influence. Seeing them take a side, the other martial artists would certainly follow suit, scrambling to move to the left.
Fei Bin, seeing this scene, was clearly very pleased. He waved the Five Peaks Command Flag, preparing to strike down Liu Zhengfeng and the Hengshan disciples under his command.
Clang.
But at this moment, a wad of crumpled paper suddenly hit the back of his head, making everyone present gasp in shock. What in the world was going on? Someone actually dared to attack the Mount Song Sect at this time?
Fei Bin himself was furious and turned around. "Who, which scoundrel?"
"Who are you calling a scoundrel?" Qu Feiyan, dressed in a red robe and appearing like a young boy, blinked her eyes. "Are you talking about me?"
Fei Bin glared at her coldly and said menacingly, "Are you the one who threw the paper wad?"
"Yes." Qu Feiyan didn’t deny it, nodding. "I blew my nose and threw away the tissue. Isn’t that what one should do? Should I have eaten it instead of throwing it away? Are you brain-damaged?"
Gulp.
The entire Hengshan villa suddenly fell silent. Everyone present looked at the young boy Qu Feiyan with strange expressions. There was admiration, schadenfreude, and pity.
But each and every one of them believed that this fair-skinned young boy... was finished.
