"What are you looking at? Whatâs there to see?"
"Everyone, get out!"
When Si Hongxuan saw that Qin Chen had left and his Sect Token had been snatched away, what crushed him most was that his dignity was trampled into dust by Qin Chen, making him particularly irritable at this moment.
Seeing Si Hongxuanâs outburst, those who heard the commotion inside Green Rain Villa hurriedly left.
They couldnât withstand Si Hongxuanâs fury.
Only a young man named Yang Qi remained, one of Chu Xunâs subordinates. Unlike the others, he wasnât afraid of Si Hongxuan.
"What exactly happened?!"
After everyone had left, Si Hongxuan turned his fierce gaze toward Wang He.
To tell the truth, he still didnât understand what had happened.
He had inexplicably been humiliated by Qin Chen.
Feeling Si Hongxuanâs terrifying anger, Wang He didnât dare to lie; he recounted everything just as it had happened.
After he finished, Wang He even stole a glance at Si Hongxuan.
After all, he knew that everything had started because of him. If he hadnât been so arrogant, none of this would have happened.
He didnât know whether Si Hongxuan would direct his rage toward him.
But to his astonishment, Si Hongxuan not only did not blame him but instead said to him, "You did nothing wrong."
"From start to finish, the one at fault is Qin Chen!" Si Hongxuanâs gaze grew sinister.
His eyes briefly swept over Yang Qi, who was still standing there, his gaze flickering.
Yang Qi was the only one who had heard the full truth of the matter.
And he was Chu Xunâs most trusted man.
If it were anyone else, Si Hongxuan could have easily eliminated them.
But not this man, which caused his gaze to shimmer.
"Do you want revenge?" Si Hongxuan looked at Wang He and the others.
Wang He and the others hesitated not a moment and nodded eagerly.
"Then from now on, follow my lead."
Si Hongxuanâs eyes were stern, evidently plotting some dark scheme.
Inside a Cultivation Room at Green Rain Villa, the place where Chu Xun resided, quite a few people had gathered.
Si Hongxuan, Yien Cong, Wang He, Yang Qi, and others were all congregated there.
Previously, Chu Xun had been meditating in the Cultivation Room, completely unaware of the events happening outside.
He was roused from his meditative state only after hearing Si Hongxuan knock at the door.
Seeing Si Hongxuan covered in blood and in a terribly disheveled state, Chu Xun was instantly shocked and sensed that something serious might have happened.
Then, Chu Xun had Si Hongxuan call everyone involved to come over.
At this moment, seeing so many people covered in blood, especially Wang He and Si Hongxuan with serious injuries, Chu Xun felt his anger rising.
One thing Qin Chen got right.
Whether it was Wang He or Si Hongxuan, they were close friends of Chu Xun, which is why they stayed with him in Green Rain Villa.
As for Zhuu Nan, that was purely fabricated.
So seeing the severe injuries on Wang He and others, naturally, Chu Xunâs expression was extremely grim.
Chu Xun, after all, valued righteousness, the type who would go through fire and water for his friends.
"Speak."
Seeing all the key people had arrived, Chu Xun signaled for Si Hongxuan to begin.
Si Hongxuan immediately showed an angry look and said, "Chu Xun, you donât know how arrogant Qin Chen was!"
"Qin Chen?"
Chu Xun frowned slightly upon hearing the name.
Clearly, he was familiar with Qin Chen and, honestly, had admired Qin Chenâs deeds from a month ago.
However, it seemed as if Qin Chen had disappeared since then, leading him to believe that Qin Chen might have met with some misfortune.
But unexpectedly, today he had heard Qin Chenâs name again.
Moreover, it seemed todayâs issue was also related to Qin Chen.
"What exactly happened?" Chu Xun asked, frowning deeply.
"Itâs like this," Si Hongxuan said.
"Qin Chen barged into Green Rain Villa today, and no one knows what he intended to do."
"Then, when Wang He and the others saw Qin Chen bursting in, they stopped him."
"But unexpectedly, Qin Chen was extremely arrogant, he didnât say anything and just started attacking, and even forcefully demanded that Wang He and the others kneel and kowtow to him."
"After that, Yien Cong and I rushed over, but to our surprise, we were no match for him and were also forced to kneel and kowtow."
"Chu Xun, Qin Chen must be killed!!"
Si Hongxuan shouted angrily.
Wang He and the others had strange expressions on their faces.
Si Hongxuan clearly knew the truth, and it was obvious that he was deliberately slandering Qin Chen, portraying him as an extremely arrogant and domineering person.
Beside Chu Xun, Yang Qiâs eyes flickered.
He had heard the sequence of events and knew Si Hongxuan was fabricating stories.
However, he did not expose Si Hongxuan.
After listening, Chu Xunâs brow remained furrowed.
He had heard some accounts about Qin Chen and although he had never met him, according to his imagination, Qin Chen shouldnât be like the person Si Hongxuan described.
Moreover, he also noticed the odd expressions on Wang He and the othersâ faces.
Chu Xun was no fool and could naturally sense that Si Hongxuanâs words perhaps contained some falsehood.
However, he didnât know to what extent those falsehoods stretched.
Subsequently, Chu Xun turned his head and looked towards Yang Qi.
"Is it as Si Hongxuan said?" Chu Xun asked.
Chu Xun was no fool, he would not simply believe Si Hongxuanâs side of the story, even though they were friends.
For he knew appearances can be deceiving.
Also, his relationship with Si Hongxuan was just that of ordinary friends and not one of familiarity.
"Chu Xun, what do you mean? You donât believe me?"
Upon hearing Chu Xunâs words, Si Hongxuan pretended to be angry.
Chu Xun looked at Si Hongxuan with calm eyes and said, "I believe you, but I, Chu Xun, also never like to wrongly accuse anyone."
Then, he turned his gaze toward Yang Qi.
If Yang Qi nodded, then Chu Xun would absolutely believe him.
Because Yang Qi was the person he trusted the most.
At this moment, Si Hongxuanâs eyes also turned towards Yang Qi.
Everyoneâs gaze focused on Yang Qi.
Yang Qi kept his head down, deep in thought.
Just then, he had received a favor from Si Hongxuan, a favor that tempted him.
Si Hongxuan was smart, aware that Chu Xun would not believe him alone and knew Chu Xun would seek confirmation from Yang Qi.
Thus, before informing Chu Xun, Si Hongxuan wanted to bribe Yang Qi to help him lie.
After considering for a long time, Yang Qi agreed.
The reason for his agreement was simple.
As Si Hongxuan expected, Chu Xun would definitely seek revenge on Qin Chen afterwards.
By then, even if Qin Chen retaliated, his rebuttals would naturally hold no weight.
This way, once Qin Chen died wrongly, becoming a corpse, there naturally would be no possibility of any truth being revealed.
Getting a favor for nothing, doing something so assured, this was why Yang Qi chose to help Si Hongxuan lie.
However, this moment, seeing Chu Xun asking him as Si Hongxuan had anticipated, Yang Qi still hesitated for a moment.
Chu Xunâs trust in him made him waver.
Nonetheless, in the end, Yang Qi made a struggling decision and nodded.
"Everything Si Hongxuan said is true," Yang Qi spoke.
Upon hearing this, a smile surfaced on Si Hongxuanâs face.
