Journey to the End of the Night Chapter 1693 - 1014: Woof Woof
Previously on Journey to the End of the Night...
Tan Guangjun squinted his eyes and examined, "Oh? It’s actually someone from Taixuan Sect?"
Li Bansheng, wife of the Taixuan Sect Master, also came to attend today’s Golden Immortal auction.
Her expression changed slightly, she stepped forward and blocked in front of Su Jing.
Facing the Divine Envoy from Kunlun Divine Ruins, her gaze was solemn and unyielding.
"City Lord Fang You, I’m afraid there might be some misunderstanding here.
Our Taixuan Sect is a prestigious orthodox sect, never misusing severe punishment.
To us, the Thousand Cuts Poison Pill is useless, how could we secretly bid for it."
People inside Wanggui Building were also whispering quietly, thinking there must be some misunderstanding.
Taixuan Sect, led by Su Guanhai, has always adhered to the gentleman’s path of righteousness.
Disciples under the sect have always strictly followed sect rules, covering like the heavens, accommodating like the earth, upholding virtue, rarely exterminating them in inhumane ways unless they commit heinous crimes.
You say this Su Jing is a daughter of Taixuan, to her, the Thousand Cuts Poison Pill is like dirt.
Why would she spend such a large amount to bid for it?
Moreover, leaving aside the status of Taixuan Sect, this Miss Su Jing herself is a cultivation woman with a noble and cool temperament, how could she be stained with such cruel and vicious things.
Tan Guangjun doesn’t know Su Jing, but he does know Li Bansheng, a thousand-year Immortal, his cold and hard expression eased slightly, and the arrogance in his gaze was restrained, he said calmly:
"Who do I see? Turns out it’s Mrs. Li. I presume this is the Young Sect Master Miss Su Jing of Taixuan Sect.
A proud child pointed by Immortal Venerable Zhu Zhan, I too am unwilling to believe she would intentionally harm the Emperor.
But I still want to confirm, Miss Su Jing..."
He stared fixedly at that silhouette in white: "Who actually bid for this bottle of Thousand Cuts Poison Pill at today’s auction? I hope Miss Su Jing can clarify."
Hearing this, Li Bansheng’s tense heart relaxed slightly.
Despite Tan Guangjun being backed by the Venerable Immortal and holding the authority of judgment.
But he has to have some respect for those pointed by Immortal Venerable Zhu Zhan.
This forces him to thoroughly investigate this matter, unlike dealing with others, it’s better not to let it go.
She firmly believes her daughter couldn’t possibly carry out the act of god-slaying, most likely someone is framing her.
Over the years, the Taixuan Sect has seen all kinds of filthy and insidious tricks.
Li Bansheng maintained her composure, turned to Su Jing, and said, "Mother knows you are not good with words. There’s no need to argue much today.
Things you’ve never done, speak to the key points, let those sinister villains know that the dirty water of Taixuan Sect cannot be splashed so easily."
Her daughter being suspected and wronged makes Li Bansheng’s heart feel resentment.
That ’sinister villains’ is clearly referring to the City Lord Fang You’s implied and inappropriate behavior.
Fang You looked embarrassed, gazing at Su Jing with a troubled face, but said nothing more.
Baili An was silent, observing the motionless Su Jing, for some reason felt a bit uneasy.
He had sharp eyes, her plain white clothes showed no color, even Li Bansheng beside her didn’t notice...
Actually, a faint misty hue vaguely emerged from her clothing.
Her gaze was extremely cold, clothes half misted, carrying a coldness, her porcelain-like face revealed a touch of unhealthy pallor.
During this early winter, although it was frosty and snowy outside, with cold sweat moistening, Wanggui Building was warm.
If she hadn’t left the Wanggui Building for no reason, how could she appear half-cold and damp?
Her clothing was thin, it couldn’t be caused by sweating.
Baili An was deep in thought when he heard her voice, low and emotionless:
"That’s right, I bid on the Thousand Cuts Poison Pill."
The audience erupted in shock, and Fang Geyu furrowed her brows repeatedly, the sudden change made her expression complicated and hard to decipher.
Baili An hadn’t expected that Su Jing would actually publicly admit she bid for the Thousand Cuts Poison Pill.
In his heart, he was extremely shocked. Considering his understanding of Su Jing, he couldn’t imagine why she would go to such lengths for this poison pill.
A pill capable of making life unbearable, completely incompatible with Su Jing.
Who is she using this thing for?
Today’s delivery of Flower Inquiry Dew’s Qingzhi, Baili An certainly doesn’t believe that is the real Qingzhi.
And that Thousand Cuts Poison Pill couldn’t possibly be foolishly placed in that Flower Inquiry Dew.
Before Su Jing personally admitted she bid on the Thousand Cuts Poison Pill.
Baili An even had a fifty percent suspicion, this matter is tied to the person who bid.
But at present, things seem far from simple.
A simple poison pill...
Leading Taixuan Sect, Shifang City, Demon Alliance’s One Drop of Blood all involved.
Baili An couldn’t help but glance at Golden Immortal Feng Xu standing far away.
The Golden Immortal auction hosted in his name has Ying Dragon as the final auction item.
And the Emperor came for the Dragon Blood.
In the Outer Heaven world, who delivered the news of Dragon Blood auction in the Mortal World to the Emperor?
All these matters are worth pondering.
Li Bansheng’s expression was shocked and angry, pale-faced, her beautiful eyes incredulously widened at Su Jing: "Jing, what nonsense are you saying?!"
