Refining the Mountains and Rivers Chapter 1727B – Confidence

Chapter 1727B – Confidence
Seeing that a conflict was going to break out, Shi Liang hurriedly said, “Fellow daoist Zhou, fellow daoist Sun told us that he lost an important treasure. My Cloud Sea Sect is investigating this matter. Just now, fellow daoist Sun told us that he sensed the aura of the treasure…he said…he said that the aura was detected in your room, so I had to come and disturb you.”
Qin Yu blandly replied, “Just because he said it is here, do you guys really think it is here? Your Cloud Sea Sect seems to be quite gullible.”
Shi Liang smiled bitterly. I am someone in the Ruler realm. Typically, I am quite a respected figure on the ship. If it were not for the fact that we cannot afford to provoke both of you, would I need to bend over backwards so much?
“What you are looking for is not here. Leave immediately!” Qin Yu turned around and wanted to close the door.
Sun Changqing scoffed again and he walked up to him, “Just because you say it is not here, does it mean that it’s not really here? Do you think our Sweeping Clouds Peak is stupid?”
……
It was quite rare for ships to encounter thieves and conduct a thorough search in such situations. Furthermore, the Cloud Sea Sect wanted to blame this on someone else, so they told the truth to anyone who asked.
And whenever people heard that Sweeping Clouds Peak was involved…
Whoo –
Sweeping Clouds Peak was a massive monster that was not to be provoked.
Who had the massive guts to steal from someone who belonged to Sweeping Clouds Peak? They must be tired of living!
Very quickly, everyone on the ship had learnt about this matter. Even the people in the guest rooms in Area A which had not been part of the search had heard about it.
Then, another piece of news came that said the person from Sweeping Clouds Peak had detected the treasure’s aura and managed to find the thief.
This made many people excited.
Everyone had heard about Sweeping Clouds Peak’s methods. They might be able to witness it for themselves today and it would be something that they would be able to tell others about in the future.
Only these excited people ran over to take a look. Guests from Area A were conscious of maintaining their reputation, so they did not join in with the commotion.
Thankfully, this small problem was quickly resolved. Someone had formed a water curtain that was suspended above the guest rooms in Area A. The people in these rooms could see everything that was going on through the projections in the water curtain.
Bull Bean saw it.
Li Ruhua, who had a sudden thought, also saw it when she left her room.
Clearly, both of them had the same target because the first person they noticed on the water curtain was Qin Yu, who was surrounded by a crowd.
It was him!
Bull Bean’s face changed slightly and after a few moments of thinking, she got up and left.
“Bull Bean, where are you going?” Uncle Bull caught up to her.
“I’m going to go watch the commotion!”
As she spoke, she rose into the air and flew away quickly.
Uncle Bull frowned internally, thinking to himself, ‘That little brat Zhou Huan truly does not recognize the young lady. However, looking at the situation now, could it be that the young lady was attracted to him?’
No way!
Our young lady is such a prestigious person. Even if she was looking for a husband, she would pick from amongst the most outstanding males in the Central Desolate.
If this worthless, young rogue cultivator dared to put his hands on the young lady, I will go and skin this brat alive!
Everyone knows how much our Old Ancestor loves and values the young lady!
Uncle Bull no longer said a word. He merely lowered his head and followed closely behind her, gritting his teeth loudly.
Careless, he was too careless.
He should have taken the initiative to directly wring that little brat’s neck. If I killed him back then, this matter would have been settled once and for all, and today’s incident would not have happened!
However, it was not too late to act. Today was only the second time that the young lady had encountered that little brat. There definitely would not be any tangible progress.
After this incident passed, he would sneak over and slap that little brat to his death, and then destroy any remaining traces of his body!
Even though he had been staying in his own courtyard to cultivate for many years and had not personally taken care of matters like this for a very long time, he could not shake away his inclinations from his old profession even if another ten thousand years had passed!
“Young miss, where are you going?” Chen Sanglue looked shocked.
This was already the second time that he saw the young miss do something that was out of character. After entering the Thirteenth Floor, Li Ruhua only focused on her own cultivation and never bothered with any matters of the outside world.
Even if she was an exception and managed to be included in the Six Person List which gave her the qualifications to enter Sky Falling Mountain, she did not slack off on her cultivation.
However, now, she actually wanted to go and see the commotion. Obviously, something was wrong.
Li Ruhua blandly said, “This person…I have to see him for myself.”
Chen Sanglue bowed, “I will go with you.”
Li Ruhua nodded her head.
Both of them headed straight to Area D.
……
Sun Changqing had already decided not to care about his reputation anymore. He was going to directly kill this person and reclaim the opportunities that belonged to him in the first place.
Anyway, the disciples of Sweeping Clouds Peak never had any reputation to speak about.
Light flashed in his eyes as the aura around his body moved. Suddenly, a shrill voice rang out, “Stop!”
Bull Bean had managed to get here in time.
Behind her, Uncle Bull was standing there with a gloomy expression, surrounded by a dangerous aura that made people fear getting too close to him.
Sun Changqing took one step backwards, cupped his hands, and greeted her, “Sweeping Clouds Peak’s disciple Sun Changqing greets Lady Bull and Mister Bull.”
Bull Bean took a look at Qin Yu and after confirming that he was fine, she said in an unsatisfied tone, “Why are you like this? Why are you trying to kill people so casually?”
Sun Changqing did not refute this because he was indeed guilty of that. “Lady Bull, you should know that this person stole a treasure that my Peak Master gifted to me. After I discovered this, he refused to admit to his crimes. I had no choice but to do this.”
Uncle Bull said in a low voice, “Young Lady, since that’s the case, I think it’s better if we do not interfere.” Do it, do it now. Quickly kill this little brat, so that I don’t have to do it myself!
“Uncle Bull, he…how could he steal things…” When she finished speaking, she too felt that her words were not very persuasive. After hesitating for a while, she added, “Whatever it is, don’t accuse an innocent and good person. Quickly leave!”
Sun Changqing took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “Lady Bull, what I am saying is true. The treasure is in his hands…”
“I don’t want to hear it!” Bull Bean waved her hand and told him, “You should leave now.”
Sun Changqing was speechless.
Sweeping Clouds Peak, which was always known for being overbearing and unreasonable, had finally found someone who was even more unreasonable and illogical than them.
However, someone else’s punch was heavier than theirs. Not only did she have a powerful person backing her, even Uncle Bull who was beside her could not be provoked.
The people who were watching started to look more interested. They thought to themselves, ‘Being able to see a disciple from Sweeping Clouds Peak getting their ego hurt by someone else is going to be a good conversation starter in the future.’
“Lady Bull, my Peak Master and Old Senior Bull are acquainted with each other. Even if you wish to help this person, you should think twice about it.”
Bull Bean scoffed, “I don’t need to think twice about this. My family’s Old Ancestor listens to whatever I say; are you going to leave or not?”
Sun Changqing almost coughed out blood, but still, he could not leave. A gloomy and uneasy expression formed on his face and he gritted his teeth, “As long as this person takes out the treasure that was given to me by the Peak Master, I will leave right now without pursuing this matter any longer!”
Evidently, Zhou Huan and Bull Bean were connected with each other.
It seemed that he was unable to achieve his goal today!
As a result, Sun Changqing felt extremely depressed.
However, very quickly, he would come to realize that this was just the beginning.
Bull Bean hesitated a bit. Furthermore, Uncle Bull who was standing behind her was looking fiercely at Qin Yu.
Now that it had gotten to this point where Sun Changqing was forced to lower his head and say those words, it was equivalent to him admitting defeat and therefore there was no need for him to lie.
She looked at Qin Yu and sighed, appearing slightly disappointed.
How could he steal someone else’s things?
However, Qin Yu still had a calm expression on his face. He did not feel guilty at all because of the way she looked at him.
Steal? I merely grabbed it using my own capabilities; why should I have to return it?
He shook his head and with full confidence, he said, “I did not steal anything!”
