School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master

Chapter 1239: Chapter 1325: Threat

Chen Nan shook his head calmly and said, ”Senior Lin, your words are incorrect. Yu Wen is naturally kind-hearted, and she’s quick to help when injustice is seen. How could she possibly poison the Second Elder?”

”Brother Kuang, you’re not wrong, but we have ample evidence proving that the traitor was the culprit who poisoned the Second Elder,” Lin Zi Yang said.

”Evidence is not the only proof. Maybe someone is trying to frame her!” Chen Nan shook his head and smiled as he said, ”Besides, does Yu Wen hold a grudge against the Second Elder? Why would she poison the Second Elder? What is her motive for committing the crime?”

”This...”

After a moment of silence, Lin Zi Yang said, ”To be honest, we now suspect that she is the daughter of the infamous poison demon Yu Wen Xiaotian from the past.”

Yu Wen Xiaotian?

Chen Nan had just come to the Tao Realm and naturally hadn’t heard of him.

However, since Lin Zi Yang mentioned it, this Yu Wen Xiaotian must be quite famous. So, Chen Nan pretended to have heard of him and smiled while shaking his head, saying, ”Senior Lin, you yourself said it’s just a suspicion. Maybe this preconception has led everyone to believe it was Yu Wen who poisoned the Second Elder, and the reason for the suspicion is simply her surname, Yu Wen. Senior Lin, am I not making sense?”

Lin Zi Yang’s face darkened slightly, but he restrained himself due to the opposing Kuang Clan’s status.

In his mind, he cursed, ”I’ve lived for hundreds of years! When have I ever needed a young junior like you to interfere in matters of Purple Cloud Palace?”

Although Lin Zi Yang cursed inwardly, he maintained a gentle demeanor on his face.

After all, the Kuang Clan is not to be trifled with!

”Brother Kuang, rest assured, my Purple Cloud Palace will investigate this matter thoroughly. If she hasn’t done it, we will never wrong her,” Lin Zi Yang said.

Chen Nan said, ”I believe she hasn’t done it. Even if she really did, she will always be a friend of my Kuang Clan.”

Chen Nan’s words were clear, indicating to Lin Zi Yang that even if Yu Wenqingxue did poison, the Kuang Clan would never allow her to be handled by them. What weighs more heavily, Lin Zi Yang should judge for himself.

Lin Zi Yang’s face turned very unpleasant.

In the face of absolute power, all reasoning is nonsense.

The Kuang Clan possesses incredibly strong power, so even if they are unreasonable, the Purple Cloud Palace dares not oppose them.

”Brother Kuang, rest assured, after I consult with the elders, whether it’s the Wind-controlling Sword issue or the Yu Wenqingxue case, we will give you a satisfactory answer,” Lin Zi Yang said while clasping his hands.

”With Senior Lin’s words, I am relieved.”

”Brother Kuang, please, I will have a disciple arrange accommodations for you,” Lin Zi Yang said as he stood up and walked out, ”Although my Purple Cloud Palace is a small place, the environment is quite nice. Brother Kuang, if you have some free time, you may walk around and enjoy the scenery.”

Chen Nan shook his head and said, ”Thanks to Lin Qian for the hospitality, but can I meet Yu Wen for a moment?”

”This...”

Lin Zi Yang hesitated, Chen Nan said, ”Senior Lin, rest assured, I just want to see and speak a few words with her, without any excessive requests.”

Chen Nan had spoken to this extent, and Lin Zi Yang couldn’t reject him outright.

”If that’s the case, I’ll instruct a disciple to escort Brother Kuang. I have some other matters to handle, so I can’t accompany you for now.”

Lin Zi Yang summoned two elite disciples to accompany Chen Nan to the Heavenly Prison.

After passing through several layers of prohibition, Chen Nan arrived outside the Heavenly Prison. The two elite disciples presented the token granted by Lin Zi Yang, allowing the disciple guarding the Heavenly Prison to open the cell door and gesture to Chen Nan, ”Honored Brother Kuang, Sister Yuwen is inside, please.”

”Please wait here for a moment; I’ll go in and speak a few words with her and come out,” Chen Nan said, effectively dismissing any thoughts they had of following him inside.

Knowing Chen Nan’s extraordinary identity, even the Palace Master wouldn’t dare offend him. Naturally, they could only wait outside.

Chen Nan walked into the Heavenly Prison and saw Yu Wenqingxue.

At this moment, she looked even more haggard than yesterday. When Chen Nan first entered, she didn’t recognize him immediately.

It wasn’t until Chen Nan communicated with her through divine sense that she reacted and looked at Chen Nan with joy, ”You... how did you get in here?”

”Anyway, not by being captured,” Chen Nan said as he walked to her side and sat down, smiling awkwardly, ”How could you be so foolish? We only knew each other for a few days, yet you betrayed your sect for me, and now you’re facing charges of betraying your teachers.”

Yu Wenqingxue shook her head, ”My life was saved by you, betraying my teachers and ancestors is nothing.”

”Such a silly girl. Don’t you know that because of this, your life is now at risk? Remember, when they interrogate you, you must deny everything and insist that those things were done by me. Then, no matter how much evidence they have, I can find a way to save you.”

Yu Wenqingxue shook her head vigorously, ”No, no, I cannot put the blame on you. You’ll be in great danger!”

”It’s okay, the facade of my ancestor identity has long disappeared. I’m now here as a Kuang Clan disciple, under the identity of Kuang Yun at the Purple Cloud Palace, even Lin Zi Yang must be courteous to me. So, you don’t need to worry about me,” Chen Nan comforted.

Upon hearing this, Yu Wenqingxue felt relieved, then asked, ”Could it be that you’re really from the Kuang Clan?”

”Of course not, if I really was, I’d have already called for someone to flatten the Purple Cloud Palace. Why go through all this trouble?” Chen Nan said as he squeezed her wrist, ”Didn’t I help you unlock your acupoints? Why is your Inner Strength sealed again?”

”I was afraid they’d discover it, so I used poison to seal my Inner Strength, but I can unlock it anytime,” Yu Wenqingxue explained, looking at Chen Nan seriously after a pause, ”Actually, there’s something I’ve been meaning to tell you.”

Chen Nan smiled, ”I already know; you’re Yu Wen Xiaotian’s daughter.”

Yu Wenqingxue was slightly surprised, ”How did you know?”

”Lin Zi Yang said it; they’ve already guessed your identity. But as long as you don’t admit it, it’s fine. I’ll use the Kuang Clan to exert pressure, and I don’t believe they won’t release you.”

Yu Wenqingxue laughed. Chen Nan’s arrival to save her made her heart deeply satisfied.

Holding onto Chen Nan’s arm, she leaned her head towards his shoulder. Chen Nan quickly retreated a step, smiling, ”You must take care of yourself first. I’m leaving now. If I stay too long, it will arouse suspicion.”

Yu Wenqingxue felt very disheartened; she remembered that Chen Nan had said he was already married.

”The fact that you came to save me shows that you have a place for me in your heart. Maybe that’s enough for me,” Yu Wenqingxue thought while watching Chen Nan’s departing back, her eyes suddenly brimming with tears.

Is it really enough?

Clearly, it’s just self-consolation.
