Chapter 334 Young Master Sword and Peak Master Luo

Shen Ku’s proposal was extremely evil.

Though Ding Hao just sneered without words, he actually secretly nodded in his mind.

“It’s good. Shen Ku, I remember you. You court death by yourself, and you will be a member in my blacklist from now on. You will cry and regret extremely for your today’s words and behavior one day, sooner or later.”

At that moment, the young man in white suddenly raised his head and looked at Ding Hao for a moment, with a bizarre expression flashing in the depth of his eyes. “Killing three people doesn’t deserve such a heavy punishment,” he said briefly.

Ding Hao did not expect that person to speak on his behalf.

Embarrassment immediately appeared on Shen Ku’s face. Obviously, the status of that young man in white was much higher than his; the young man’s words were equal to rejecting his proposal completely and relentlessly.

“Oh, it’s unexpected that Senior Brother Guan Feidu’s first turn at speaking today would be for this damned prisoner,” Young Master Jade said and smiled meaningfully, with his hand waving a folding fan with a jade fan rib.

“I just told the truth,” the young man in white said coolly.

Ding Hao took a tumble and finally knew that the young man in white was actually “Young Master Sword” Feidu, who was also in the Four Young Masters list, among the core disciples in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.

It could be seen that Guan Feidu was strong as he could attain the title of Young Master Sword in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, which was a sect majoring in sword techniques. In fact, Guan Feidu used to be the first of the Four Young Masters, but later he was defeated regrettably by the “Child Prodigy” Tianyang. That caused a dramatical decline of his prestige and fame, therefore he was much more low-key that year.

“Senior Brother Guan, you’re not considering Ding Hao because of his battle appointment with Mu Tianyang, are you?” Young Master Jade waved his fan, shook his head with a smile and said, “It’s unexpected that Senior Brother Guan with a ruthless sword would also become sentimental.”

Those were words that wanted to torture Guan Feidu’s heart.

Mentioning Mu Tianyang in such a situation was equal to stabbing Guan Feidu in the heart.

A cold light flashed in Guan Feidu’s eyes but immediately sank down. He held his long sword in his arms without a word.

Looking at that scene, many people sighed in their minds.

“In the past, Guan Feidu was the most amazing young swordsman among the Four Young Masters. How heroic he used to be! No one in the young generation dared to go head to head with him. At that time, no matter how domineering Young Master Jade was, he didn’t dare to be so defiant. It’s unexpected that after being defeated by Mu Tianyang, Guan Feidu lost all his heroism and is so down and out.”

“It’s just like trapped tigers being bullied by dogs.”

Seeing Guan Feidu’s silence, Young Master Jade could not help feeling proud. He should be a steady man, but his behavior was unbearably indulgent when he prevailed in the relationship with Young Master Sword.

Ding Hao frowned and was about to speak, but at that moment—

“Oh, Ding Hao, why did you kill Zhang Wenzhao, Tian Heng and Lu Pengfei, who were disciples from the same academy? Is there an inside story? Don’t be nervous and tell us about it. If it’s reasonable, someone will make a decision for you,”

a tall and thin man with a tall golden hat suddenly said.

Young Master Jade changed his expression.

His words had already set the tone for Ding Hao’s punishment. It was unexpected for the young man with a tall hat to suddenly speak, whose words were obviously partial to Ding Hao. That was equal to being against him.

“Leng Yixuan, what do you mean by saying so?” Young Master Jade asked coldly.

Leng Yixuan, the young man with a tall hat, smiled faintly and said, “I didn’t imply anything special. I just told the truth as Senior Brother Guan Feidu said. There is no smoke without fire, and therefore there must be a reason for Ding Hao’s acts. We certainly need to ask for the reason in case we try to kill an innocent person.”

Speaking of that, Leng Yixuan turned around, smiled at Ding Hao and said gently, “Ding Hao, no matter what grievances you have, you can speak out. There’re so many sensible martial uncles and elders, who can all make a decision for you. If some people aim to dominate everything, hey, it’s impossible.”

“I thank Martial Uncle Leng for upholding justice,” Ding Hao answered and saluted, but did not explain himself with gratitude immediately. He just stood still, as if he were preparing for something.

“It seems that he knows that he’s sinful and has nothing to say.” seeing that condition, Young Master Jade smiled coldly.

“Ding Hao, do you have some concerns?” Leng Yixuan smiled and asked.

“Thank you for Martial Uncle Leng’s care. I don’t have any concerns. What I did was to clear the scum of the sect instead of murdering fellow disciples. The behavior of Lu Pengfei and the other two could make the gods angry and people resentful. The Eastern Academy of Green Shirts was also in a mess. These things will be easily found if the sect does some research. I am in a humble position and my words do not carry much weight. Therefore, even if I explain myself, it may still be a sophistry in the ears of some people, and that’s why I have nothing to say,”

Ding Hao said with becoming modesty.

“How glib you are! How dare you claim that you have nothing to say after saying so much?” Shen Ku smiled coldly and said, “Ding Hao, you have to know that here is the Hall Chief’s temple, used for judging crimes in the sect. Rules are strict here and there is no room for a sophist. You had better confess honestly and stop counting on luck.”

Ding Hao sneered without looking at him.

Shen Ku was very angry and was about to rebuke Ding Hao further…

At that moment, a beautiful middle-aged woman in cyan walked out slowly. She was charming and elegant. She nodded to Ding Hao, turned around and spoke to the others, “Out of curiosity, I have assigned some people to have a detailed investigation on this event, and the result is just as Ding Hao mentioned. Although Lu Pengfei had good aptitude, his character was bad. He set up a scheme and framed Zhang Fan, one of his fellow disciples, for his own sake, which broke sect rules. Witnesses and evidence are conclusive, and if you don’t believe it, you can call Nangong Zheng, one of the twelve punishment envoys, to bring evidence.”

No one spoke for a moment.

Almost everyone looked surprised.

That was because no one expected that she would stand up for Ding Hao. In previous discussions, no matter how important the thing was, she had hardly said a word. However, unexpectedly, she stood out that time just for an event involving a nominal disciple.

A surprised expression was on Young Master Jade’s face. His expression changed for several times and he seemed to think of something.

Shen Ku was much more embarrassed. He could only stand there and did not have the right to speak on important matters because of his identity, so he did not dare to contradict that woman’s words. However, he was too hard on Ding Hao before and stood facing her, which may have already caused her discomfort.

It did not pay to do so.

Thinking of that, he hated Ding Hao more in his mind. An insidious light flashed in his eyes and he retreated quietly to the back of the crowd.

“Since these are Peak Master Luo’s words, we definitely believe them, and it’s not necessary to call for witnesses and evidence,” a bald elder said with smile.
