2731 Identity Known

Heaven and Earth Academy, legacy ground.

In an elegant and simple cave abode, there was a fragrance.

A beautiful woman closed her eyes and held a brush, drawing continuously on a piece of rice paper.

On the woman’s shoulder, a snow-white butterfly stood and flapped its wings gently, looking at the painting in front of the woman with disbelief in its eyes.

Painting Immortal Mo Qing.

Recently, she had been immersed in the painting and it lasted for nearly a month. She was focused and did not open her eyes to look.

She did not even rest, afraid that she would interrupt the painting process.

On the drawing paper, there was only a human figure.

Before that, more than half of the painting had been completed.

Apart from his blank face, the figure’s posture, actions and even his eyes that were burning with purple flames were already depicted.

As for Mo Qing, she was using the Fiend figure Dharmic Dao of the Divine Ghost Immortal Fiend Diagram to attempt to divine Desolate Martial’s true appearance and complete the painting!

After a long time, Mo Qing gradually stopped writing and heaved a sigh of relief.

The painting was finally completed.

However, she still did not open her eyes. She was expectant, nervous and filled with conflicting emotions.

Painting continuously the past month had taken a huge toll on her mentally.

Mo Qing closed her eyes and extended her slim finger, rubbing her glabella gently to relieve her mental and physical fatigue.

“Little Butterfly, why aren’t you saying anything?”

Mo Qing asked.

The snow-white butterfly on her shoulder looked at the face on the painting in front of her and stammered, but did not say anything.

Mo Qing smiled and teased, “Could it be as you guessed previously? Does Desolate Martial have a green face and fangs such that you’re shocked by his fierceness?”

No matter what, she still felt relieved after completing this painting.

“I’m indeed shocked.”

The Ice Butterfly muttered. “However, it’s not because he looks too scary…”

“Oh? In that case, why?”

Mo Qing asked.

“See for yourself.”

The Ice Butterfly said.

Upon hearing the Ice Butterfly’s words, Mo Qing was even more curious.

She took a deep breath and paused for a long time before mustering her courage. She opened her eyes and looked at the painting in front of her.

Mo Qing was stunned on the spot.

The person in this painting…

She was all too familiar with him!

Junior Brother Su of the academy!

How could this be?

On the portrait, a man was dressed in a purple robe and stood with his hands behind his back. His eyes were burning with flames and everything about him was the stance of Desolate Martial.

However, his face was that of Junior Brother Su!

Most importantly, Junior Brother Su’s face did not look out of place when matched with everything about Desolate Martial. It was almost a perfect match, as though he was Desolate Martial!

“Could it be that Su Zimo has a twin brother who looks especially similar?”

The Ice Butterfly asked softly.

Mo Qing remained silent.

Suddenly, she recalled the purple flames in Junior Brother Su’s eyes when he played chess with Chess Immortal Jun Yu in the room of Divine Firmament Palace.

She recalled the various interactions between Junior Brother Su and Desolate Martial back in Avici.

She recalled Junior Brother Su’s strange attitude towards her…

There was only one possibility.

Mo Qing clenched her fists slightly as anger suddenly rose in her heart. She glared at the portrait in front of her angrily and reached out to tear the painting that she had spent countless effort on into pieces.

“Junior Brother Su, how dare you!”

Mo Qing was furious and embarrassed as she grit her teeth secretly. “To think that I trusted you so much and asked you to hand the portrait to Desolate Martial, but you were actually…!”

However, Mo Qing thought about it.

This was Junior Brother Su’s secret after all.

Once exposed, Junior Brother Su’s life might be in danger and he could not even stay in Heaven and Earth Academy!

It was understandable for Junior Brother Su not to tell her such a secret.

Mo Qing thought about it again.

‘Even if you told me, would I leak the secret?’

‘Am I that untrustworthy to you?’

After thinking about it, Mo Qing was still a little indignant and burned the piece of paper that she had just torn cleanly.

“You’re burning it just like that?”

The Ice Butterfly seemed to feel that it was a pity.

“Hmph.”

Mo Qing said, “What’s there to see about this person? If you want to see him, you can see him every day!”

After saying that, Mo Qing tidied up briefly. “Let’s go and look for him. Let’s see how long he can continue acting for.”

Mo Qing left the cave abode and sped towards the inner sect of the academy.

After not coming out of seclusion for more than a month, the atmosphere in the academy seemed strange.

Mo Qing frowned slightly.

Under normal circumstances, the academy would not have changed much even if she had been in seclusion for ten years or a hundred years.

But now, something seemed to have happened in the academy.

Mo Qing did not think too much about it and continued walking towards the inner sect of the academy. Before long, she arrived at Su Zimo’s cave abode.

The cave abode that was initially Su Zimo’s was already in ruins. It had collapsed and the surrounding spirit fields and medicinal gardens were long destroyed.

“What happened?”

Mo Qing frowned.

Right then, an inner sect disciple of the academy passed by not far away. However, he circled around this place from afar, as though he was afraid of something.

In the blink of an eye, Mo Qing arrived before the inner sect disciple and intercepted him.

“Ah!”

When the inner sect disciple saw Mo Qing, he was stunned for a moment before bowing hurriedly. “Greetings, Senior Sister Mo Qing.”

“Yes.”

Mo Qing pointed at the ruins not far away and asked, “What’s going on?”

The inner sect disciple glanced over and looked at Mo Qing.

He could not help but recall the rumors circulating in the academy about Senior Sister Mo Qing and that person before this. With a strange expression, he probed, “Senior Sister Mo Qing, you don’t know yet?”

“What happened?”

Mo Qing asked indifferently.

The inner sect disciple said, “That’s the cave abode of the traitor of the academy. Naturally, we have to clean it up and abolish it as a warning to others!”

“Nonsense!”

Mo Qing berated and frowned. “That’s Junior Brother Su’s cave abode. Junior Brother Su is Rank 1 of the Earth and Heaven Rankings. How much glory has he brought to the academy?”

“He condensed the tenth step of the Dao Heart Stairs and was accepted as an in-name disciple by the Sect Master. How can he be a traitor of the academy?”

The inner sect disciple pursed his lips and said disapprovingly, “No matter how much glory he has, it can’t hide his betrayal of the academy and his master!”

“What nonsense are you talking about!”

When Mo Qing saw that the inner sect disciple was framing Su Zimo continuously, she was enraged and subconsciously released the might of a Perfected Immortal, enveloping this person with a cold gaze.

The inner sect disciple shuddered and found it difficult to breathe. His face flushed red and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

“Senior Sister Mo Qing, please calm down.”

The inner sect disciple said with difficulty, “This matter has nothing to do with… me. The Sect Master said it personally and everyone in the world knows about it.”

“Senior Sister Mo Qing, if you don’t believe me, you can… ask the Sect Master…”

When she heard that, Mo Qing felt uneasy and her face turned pale.

After a moment of silence, Mo Qing released the person and grit her teeth. “I’ll ask now. If you’re lying, I’ll definitely punish you severely by the academy’s rules!”
