Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 147 - Framing

Chapter 147: Chapter 147 Framing

“Yes!” The disciple seemed to be spurred into enthusiasm, talking nonstop.

“The Fifth Elder discovered that the Seventh Elder and Thirteenth Elder were secretly harvesting sect Spirit Stone resources. He advised them to confess to the Sect Master, but they did not listen and even attacked the Fifth Elder.”

“Luckily, the Fifth Elder was with the Eleventh Elder. They turned the tables and killed the Seventh Elder and his accomplices, resolving a major disaster for the sect!”

Er, is that even possible?

After passing through Solitary Sky Ridge, Shi Hao had been thinking, since Chu Xiaotian didn’t set an ambush there and let him return to the White Cloud Sect, how would he solve the problem?

Now, he understood.

...

Damn, a thief crying “Stop thief,” and then making the dead take the blame!

Pretty ruthless.

Being from the same camp, now that Chen Mo and the others are gone, they have been betrayed mercilessly, I wonder how they feel after death.

— At least Chen Mo would surely want to drink Chu Xiaotian’s blood and eat his flesh.

Everyone says Chen Mo is the brains of Chu Xiaotian’s group, but in Shi Hao’s view, Chu Xiaotian is far more sinister.

“Using ‘trash'” to resolve the biggest crisis for himself.

Shi Hao sneered inwardly, he wouldn’t let the opponent get through this so easily.

Now without his Talismanic Soldier, facing an adversary from the Other Shore meant only escape; therefore, seizing the opportunity to strike down an enemy like Chu Xiaotian was essential.

He strode forward, going to do his task.

“What!” The person in charge exclaimed, abruptly standing up from his chair, “Shi Hao, you must be responsible for your words!”

Shi Hao smiled slightly, “Of course!”

“I’m going to report immediately to the Sect Master!” After leaving the door, that person started running.

It didn’t take long for Bao Dongsheng to arrive, but behind him was a bright and beautiful young girl, Bao Ya’er.

Upon seeing Shi Hao, Bao Ya’er’s eyes immediately brightened, showing a sweet smile.

Bao Dongsheng, as if having eyes on the back of his head, immediately glared at Shi Hao, seemingly blaming him for enticing his granddaughter’s soul.

Shi Hao didn’t mind, as there were many women infatuated with him, he couldn’t possibly be responsible for all of them, nor could he afford to be.

Bao Dongsheng sat down himself, then said, “Tell me exactly what happened.”

“Yes.” Shi Hao nodded. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Bao Ya’er had already brought a chair over and placed it behind him.

“Sit down, you must be tired from the long journey,” Bao Ya’er said.

“Alright.” Shi Hao complied easily.

Damn!

Bao Dongsheng’s lips twitched slightly, he had intentionally not let Shi Hao sit, as a minor punishment for daring to deeply affect his granddaughter!

But, girls are outgoing.

This darn kid, why does he have to be so good-looking?

Shi Hao began to talk, detailing everything, including how he killed Zhang Ji and Chen Mo using the Talismanic Soldier. However, he claimed the source of the Talismanic Soldier was from the Mang Mountain Relics, since no one could verify it anyway.

As for the real thief, Snow Spirit Cat, he naturally didn’t mention it; this blame was definitely going to fall on Chu Xiaotian and his people.

— Strictly speaking, although Snow Spirit Cat is a petty thief, it indeed helped expose a band of major criminals.

Bao Dongsheng, having listened, couldn’t help but tap lightly on the table.

From the perspective of the story’s plausibility, it was clearly Shi Hao’s version that was more credible.

Didn’t he know what kind of person Chu Xiaotian was?

The critical point was, with Chu Xiaotian and Shi Xingwei treating the sect’s laws with contempt, the White Cloud Sect, having already lost two Other Shore powerhouses, would have to sacrifice another two, greatly weakening its strength.

Originally, the strength of the White Cloud Sect was already the weakest among the four great powers. If it suffered such a blow, it would be hard to guarantee that the Kuangsha Sect and the Tianhai Sect wouldn’t target them.

“Sect Master, Chu Xiaotian and Shi Xingwei disregard the sect’s laws and undermine its foundation. Such people… do you think they would contribute to the sect in a life-or-death crisis?” Shi Hao quickly applied eye medicine.

This made Bao Dongsheng’s determination firmer by a notch. Previously, at the Mang Mountain Relics, the Kuangsha Sect had been aggressively demanding, and individuals like Chu Xiaotian were extremely cowardly, strongly advising to hand over Shi Hao to avert disaster.

Although it was partly because Shi Hao had personal grievances with them, putting personal grievances above the interests of the sect was also a form of disloyalty and betrayal.

“Yes, grandfather, if Chu Xiaotian and the others even dared touch the Spirit Stone, what wouldn’t they do?” Bao Ya’er persuaded from the side; she didn’t care—Shi Hao was so handsome, surely what he said was right.

Beauty is justice!

Bao Dongsheng had already made up his mind, and with that remark from Bao Ya’er, he was completely resolute.

“This is a grave matter; none of you should spread word of it, just act as if nothing has happened,” he warned.

Indeed, that remark was directed at Shi Hao. Bao Ya’er was his granddaughter after all, how could he bear to speak harshly to her?

“Yes,” Shi Hao nodded.

“Go,” Bao Dongsheng said softly. Though the White Cloud Sect wasn’t as strong as the Kuangsha Sect and the Tianhai Sect in terms of top-tier combat power, in terms of reserves of young talent, they had Shi Hao, Liu Shixuan, and Yue Junxian. In the future… the White Cloud Sect might just become the leader of the four great powers!

Shi Hao turned and left, but Bao Ya’er followed him: “Shi Hao, let me walk you out.”

A steamed bun chasing a dog!

Bao Dongsheng gazed solemnly at his granddaughter’s back, the more he watched, the more he felt she was like a lush, fresh cabbage, and Shi Hao, that pig, was still playing hard to get!

Though this ‘pig’ was a good-looking one.

Alas!

Bao Ya’er hadn’t seen Shi Hao for a long time and naturally had a lot to say, but facing Shi Hao’s face that made her legs weak and breathless, she found herself unable to say anything, simply staring idiotically.

Shi Hao returned to the other courtyard and had not yet sat down to rest when he saw the Snow Spirit Cat approaching, its steps as light as a ghost’s.

“Human, where are my little dried fish… no, Spirit Stones!” the cat demanded haughtily.

Shi Hao responded, “If I give them to you, do you have a place to hide them? Aren’t you afraid Dean Sun will find out and confiscate them all?”

“Would this cat fear that insignificant human?” the Snow Spirit Cat remained haughty.

That was true; its strength had increased rapidly, and it was now at the third stage of Soul Nurturing.

“Since you’ve awakened your wisdom, I shall give you a name,” Shi Hao changed the subject. “Human beings all have names, to distinguish one from another, each person is an independent, unique, and singular entity.”

Hearing his use of many descriptors in a row, the Snow Spirit Cat suddenly felt that having a name was quite a prestigious matter.

“Alright, human, this Cat King allows you to think of a name for me,” it still looked proud.

“You’re all white, so I’ll call you Xiao Bai,” Shi Hao said casually. “It’s simple and clear like me, and fits your appearance well—don’t you think it’s great?”

“Is it really that great?” the Snow Spirit Cat was nearly bursting with joy, yet its face still wore a disdainful, haughty expression.

“Absolutely fantastic!” Shi Hao nodded vigorously.
