Chapter 113: Painstaking Conviction, Merits Outweigh Faults
Li Lan came out of the kitchen with a thick handkerchief, holding a casserole that was emitting steam. The wafting fragrance attracted many elite disciples to "investigate" by following the smell.
As cultivators, these elite disciples are also at the level of military commanders. Even if they don't eat for a few days, they will not feel hungry.
But the food Li Lan cooked recently was so delicious that even a banished immortal would be moved by it...
"Aunt Li, what is this for?"
"Auntie Li, could you give me a bowl of soup?"
"Don't rush, don't rush. Aunt Li won't deny us anything. Everyone who sees it gets a share!"
For a moment, Qin Mu's house, which had been deserted before, became lively. Even Chu Sui was holding a bowl and ready to get a piece of the pie.
"Xiao Sui, I left some for you and Shu Ran in the kitchen. Come over and have some!"
"These all belong to Chen Xi, there's no place for you!"
Seeing Chu Sui coming forward, Li Lan quickly pushed him away, fearing that his feelings would be snatched away by Chu Sui midway.
Since Li Lan moved to Shangge, Xu Shuran often came to visit. In the woman's heart, she had long regarded Chu Sui and Xu Shuran as her own children.
"You guys won't have any meals today. When I have time one day, I'll make a separate meal for you!"
Placing the casserole next to Gu Chenxi, Li Lan hurried out to drive away the elite disciples surrounding the door.
She knew that these were all good children, but there was only one black bird cub and she couldn't give them all away.
After hearing this, the group left in disappointment. Without being able to enjoy the delicious food made by Aunt Li, today's practice would be very boring!
On the other side, Gu Chenxi looked at the hot casserole and felt very warm in her heart. During this period, she recovered quickly thanks to the care of Qin Mu and his mother.
In his spare time, Qin Mu would go out to hunt monsters to replenish his body. Such a heartwarming gesture softened Gu Chenxi's heart.
When the two first met, she hunted monsters for Qin Mu. Now the situation is just the opposite. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the mystery of cause and effect.
"Aunt Li, why isn't Qin Mu here? He hasn't shown up all morning."
Gu Chenxi looked around the house. Usually she could always see Qin Mu, but today she saw no one.
"Xiao Mu was called away by a green-robed elder this morning and hasn't returned yet. I guess he has something to tell me?"
Li Lan knew that his son was no longer the same as before, and Qin Mu was involved in all the affairs within the Sword Sect.
As a family member, she cannot interfere with her son's work, nor can she ask too many questions.
"Hurry up and drink it! It won't taste good if it gets cold. Look at Xiao Sui, he's almost eating the whole bowl!"
Li Lan hurriedly urged Gu Chenxi, and then saw Chu Sui in the kitchen out of the corner of his eye. The other party was really licking the bottom of the bowl greedily, and did not look like a young master of a noble family at all.
Looking at Li Lan again, Gu Chenxi's cheeks could not help but blush. The way this aunt looked at her was clearly to see if her daughter-in-law was satisfied...
Gu Chenxi didn't dare to look Li Lan in the eye, fearing that the other party would notice her shyness, but in her heart, she just tacitly agreed to the current scene.
At the same time, in the Sword Sect's main hall, many elders were sitting on both sides of the Holy Son, and Qin Mu was standing in the middle, dealing with everyone.
"Qin Mu split the sky. Although it's a bit exaggerated, it's the truth..."
"Outside the sky, alien races are spying on our Northern Wilderness. All this is Qin Mu's fault!"
"If convicted, Qin Mu must be severely punished for endangering the Northern Wilderness!"
Many elders observed the attitude of the Son of God and criticized him, wishing they could nail Qin Mu to the pillar of shame right now.
Through his understanding during this period, Qin Mu also knew that the Celestial Clan once lived outside the sky, isolated from the human race for generations and did not interfere with each other.
But now that the crack in the sky has opened, the Celestial Clan inside will definitely have the possibility of coming to the Northern Wilderness, so the Son of God found an excuse to target him!
"Qin Mu, you're acting too impulsively. You should know that the Celestial Clan created a world of their own. It was left behind by a former Celestial Clan emperor. Even our Sect Master doesn't have the ability to repair it."
"If you rashly break the barrier and put our race in danger, even if I want to protect you, it will be impossible..."
Right in front of Qin Mu, the Son of God sighed helplessly, looking earnestly and earnestly, as if he was really worried about Qin Mu.
Qin Mu naturally sneered in his heart. Among all the people present, only the Son of God wanted to kill him!
"In that case, I'll put you in the dungeon and keep you under strict guard. If there's no danger in the Northern Wasteland, I'll naturally release you!"
The Holy Son immediately made a decision that as long as Qin Mu could be locked up in the dungeon, even Elder Ying would not be able to return.
What's more, what Qin Mu did was not an exaggeration. The Son of God had countless reasons to push the situation to a serious level.
"Wait a minute!"
Just as the Holy Son was about to summon the elders to take Qin Mu away, Qin Mu raised his arm to stop the Holy Son's actions.
Elder Ying was very anxious watching from the side. In this situation, if Qin Mu acted impulsively, it would give the Son of God a handle!
"The Holy Son said that there might be danger, but there aren't any Celestials appearing in the Northern Wasteland right now, right?"
"Besides, even if the Celestial Clan came to the Northern Wilderness, our human race would never reject outsiders. As long as we live in peace with each other, why would we reject the arrival of foreign races?"
"Without any incident, the Holy Son wants to imprison me in the dungeon. I'm afraid I can't agree to that!"
Qin Mu was not impulsive. He argued for himself calmly and his words left those on the Holy Son's side with no rebuttal.
It is true that cracks appeared in the sky, but if the Celestial Clan really took action, it would have appeared on the Northern Wilderness continent long ago.
The Celestial Clan, like a legendary race, had no trace left. The crack seemed like a strange beauty in the sky.
If this is the case, the charges made by the Son of God cannot be established, and Qin Mu cannot be captured and detained in the dungeon. Even Xu Haoyang cannot make such a judgment!
"Just because it hasn't happened now doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. You've only been practicing for a few years, how can you foresee future changes?"
The Son of God was speechless because of Qin Mu, and his tone became stern. If he couldn't convict Qin Mu today, it would be unlikely that he would have the same opportunity as today in the future!
"What happens in the future will naturally be dealt with later. If the Celestial Clan lives in peace, the Holy Son won't be able to say anything, right?"
"If the alien race really harbors evil intentions, I, Qin Mu, will definitely bear the brunt of it, just like I did with the vampires before!"
Qin Mu was neither humble nor arrogant. Facing the attacks from the elders, he was full of energy and was not affected at all.
In the battle against the vampires, Qin Mu could be said to have made great contributions. If something like this happened again, no one would doubt Qin Mu's determination.
If you want to punish someone for something that is completely fabricated, that will chill the hearts of future generations. Who will dare to fight for the Sword Sect and the Northern Wilderness?
"Holy Son, logically speaking, this Qin Mu... cannot be found guilty."
"On the contrary, Qin Mu didn't receive any rewards for fighting the vampires, and they didn't even ask for any..."
