Chapter 585 - Tit for Tat (2/2)

Yan Luo looked even more upset as he grew more suspicious of his previous judgment and turned back to glance at Ren Qing with a stern look.

“I… I did not!” Ren Qing paled, completely flustered. “Teacher, trust me, it’s really them…”

“Enough!” Yan Luo cut him off, as if he did not want to listen on anymore. Turning towards Lonemoon, he said, “Young friend, the league is something of great importance, we were worried about the fairness of the competition, that’s why we invited you both to make a trip here. Though everything has been cleared up now, I still seek your understanding.”

“Teacher Yan, you’re overstating things.” Lonemoon smiled, but the words he spoke had no intention of letting him off easily. “It’s just that your academy’s style of handling things has truly amazed me. With just random claims of a disciple, you don’t even verify it and the accused culprit is convicted directly. Fortunately, I am not a disciple of your academy! Otherwise, this matter wouldn’t have been appropriately settled today.”

Yan Luo’s already long face was covered with more unhappiness, this time, it wasn’t just him, even the academy was completely disgraced. While he continued to blame Ren Qing deep down, he was even more offended that this person did not give him any face at all.

And Lonemoon continued, “Let’s not mention that I’ve never done this, even if I did sell array flags, which rule in the rules and regulations of this competition states that array flags could not be transferred in possession?”

“It’s my oversight.” Yan Luo could only grit his teeth and apologize. “I ask that you do not take offense!”

“That’s simple.” Lonemoon quit while he was ahead. “I wonder if Teacher still has any more doubts? Why don’t we trash it all out once and for all.”

“Of course not.” Yan Luo smiled politely. “You have been troubled to make this trip today, both of you may leave.”

“In that case, we’ll take our leave first.” Then he turned and looked towards Ren Qing by the side and said, his words full of meaning, “I believe that Teacher is a fair person, so I trust that the person who had lodged a false accusation will punished impartially.”

Yan Luo faltered, only nodding a moment later. “… Of course.”

Ren Qing’s face turned ghastly pale instantly.

Ling Hong then walked out with Ling Hong.

Until they were out of sight, did Yan Luo drop back into his seat with a frown.

“Teacher, believe me…” Ren Qing hurriedly went forward with a flustered look on his face. “I really did not lie, they…”

“Alright, you don’t need to say anything more.” Yan Luo glanced at him crankily. All because of this fool, that caused us to be shamed so badly. “Whether they cheated or not, it will all be told in the second round of the competition.” He was also foolish with fury that he believed this Ren Qing, whether they were for real or not, wouldn’t it all be clear when they test their cultivation during the second round of the competition?

And earlier that Lonemoon, appeared to be a mere Foundation Establishment level cultivator, but his words and actions were flawless, even before the suppression of him, a Stygian Immortal, he did not bat an eyelid. Such a person made him even more suspicious of his background.

Ling Hong had followed Lonemoon out with a dumbfounded expression, he did not even realize that they had intentionally circled the academy. Initially, he was already prepared to be punished, even to be kicked out from the academy. In the end, with just a few words from Lonemoon, not to mention nothing happened to them, he even managed to push the blame all back to Ren Qing.
