All of them, except for Yun Shu.

Because the elderly man was Old Du.

“Senior! Please show us your justice!” cried Chang Yu first. “We’re all severely injured by him! Please, senior! He deserves the most extreme punishment right on the spot. Our sect needs justice and rules!”

Seeing that, Chang Yu’s men started crying as well, their voices creating a mess. If it had been someone else, Yun Shu wouldn’t have any chance to explain at all.

But Old Du treated Yun Shu differently!

He turned to Yun Shu and asked, “Why are you in trouble again? It’s only the first day after your punishment!”

Yun Shu hurriedly bowed to Old Du first to pay his respects and then explained, “Senior Du, it wasn’t me who deliberately sought for trouble. They were just bullying her so badly!”

Yun Shu put on an extremely indignant look and explained the whole affair. He was a rather good story-teller. His words full of distress even made the men forget to wail.

Old Du twirled his long beard and said, “So, you’re saying you did all these so that justice can be served?”

Yun Shu bowed again. “Senior, the Fire Mystic Sect is a leading heavenly sect, and its disciples are always responsible for enforcing justice on behalf of Heaven and making sure that injustice is always corrected. I’m not a hero at all but just a disciple who remembers what I have been taught and put it into practice. I hope that one day when I become much stronger, I can eliminate all injustice from this world.”

1Old Du turned around and asked Chang Yu coldly, “Is this true?”

“No… No!” Chang Yu hurriedly denied.

Before Chang Yu finished his words, Yun Shu snorted, “You’re so shameless, lying in front of both Senior Du and her!”

Yun Shu turned to look at Su Lingwen.

Su Lingwen was still sitting beside the stele, witnessing the matter unfold. Seeing that Yun Shu kept winking at her, she nodded and said, “Mostly… Yes!”

Old Du frowned, finding it a bit difficult to pass the verdict.

“They’re together! Her words don’t count! Women’s words don’t count!” Chang Yu hurriedly interrupted, screaming at the top of his lungs.

Yun Shu snorted again. “Women’s words don’t count? How dare you say so? Then what about your own men’s words?”

Then he asked Chang Yu’s men coldly, “All of you, tell Senior Du the truth. Also, don’t forget that Chang Yu has always been using all of you as his tools and never cared about you. Of course, now he hates me to his very bones, but do you still think he would go easy on all of you?”

1“Just now—” The slender man was about to say something but was threatened by Chang Yu.

“Watch your mouth! Or you all know the consequence!” Chang Yu said viciously.

Yun Shu almost burst in laughter after hearing him lash out. It was such an idiot move from Chang Yu, who tried to threaten his men at this moment.

Yun Shu cleared his throat and said, “Senior Du, I’m sure you can see clearly what kind of person Chang Yu is now!”

Then he turned and said to the slender man, “Don’t pay him any mind. The guy backing him up is only an inner sect disciple, nothing more. But senior Du here is one of the top masters in our sect!”

Old Du also nodded. “You speak the truth, and I’ll take care of your safety. However, if you lie, you’ll need to pay the consequences!”

“Senior, what Yun Shu just said was all true!” said the slender man with his head lowered.

The rest of the men hurriedly followed his lead, admitting to their crimes.

Yun Shu grinned, while Chang Yu’s face suddenly turned pale, as if someone had extracted his soul.

“You dare rat on me…” Chang Yu was thoroughly enraged.

“Chang Yu, don’t blame us! You forced us to bully a woman, even though we didn’t want it from the very beginning…”
