Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

Chapter 144 The Truth

"Investigate what!" Su Ruo yelled at Xu Yao, then pointed at Jiang Feng, "The murderer who killed Wangcai is right there!"

"Go ahead and investigate! What kind of nonsense is this, making such an unreasonable demand of me?! I don't want Wangcai to suffer even the slightest bit more!"

Hearing this, Xu Yao was somewhat speechless.

He felt that the woman in front of him was simply impossible to communicate with.

"Will you give it or not?"

"No way!" Su Ruo said angrily. "Are you going to hit me?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yao's anger was also ignited.

"What an unreasonable woman! I just wanted to look at the corpse and study how it died, and you won't even allow that?"

Su Ruo also replied, "You, Xu Yao, I thought you were a good person, but I didn't expect you and Jiang Feng to be birds of a feather."

"Are you two having an affair? Why are you protecting Jiang Feng like this!"

Xu Yao glared at him: "What did you say? Can't you speak properly? If you can't speak properly, then don't speak!"

Su Ruo then said, "Are you going to protect Jiang Feng today? Fine, I'll fight you to the death today!"

After saying that, Su Ruo drew her sword.

Seeing this, the other two female disciples also drew their swords.

The atmosphere became tense, and it looked like the two women were about to attack Xu Yao.

This scene truly infuriated Xu Yao.

I was only trying to respect the truth, but these three women just started hitting me without warning. They were no different from shrewish women.

"Fine, you want to fight? Then I'll grant your wish."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Yao rushed towards Su Ruo.

Facing Xu Yao rushing towards her, Su Ruo quickly swung her sword.

However, before her sword could travel very far, Xu Yao's hand landed on Su Ruo's face without hesitation.

With a loud slap, a bruise immediately appeared on Su Ruo's face.

Tears streamed down her face from the pain, but Xu Yao didn't stop at all, slapping Su Ruo again without saying a word.

That slap sent Su Ruo flying.

Upon seeing this scene, the other two female disciples exclaimed in surprise, "Senior Sister!"

As soon as they shouted, Xu Yao kicked them both away without any mercy.

The two men crashed into a tree one after the other and immediately lost their ability to move.

Su Ruo, who had fallen to the ground in a disheveled state, covered her aching cheek in grief and anger, and cursed at Xu Yao: "You are a shameless beast! You even hit a woman!"

“I’m beating you up, you blind slut,” Xu Yao replied coldly. “Not all women deserve respect, like the three of you.”

After saying that, Xu Yao snatched the dead dog's body away.

As he examined the corpse, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

At that moment, Su Ruo's shouts rang out again.

"Xu Yao, you shameless beast! Do you think you can act with impunity just because you're in the Qingyun Sect? Let me tell you, absolutely not!"

"I will definitely tell Master about this, and you will receive the punishment you deserve!"

Xu Yao snorted in response.

He slowly uttered two words: "I think you're out of your mind."

“It’s impossible that Jiang Feng killed this dog. Jiang Feng also said that he had only been here for a short time. If it had just died, the dog would still have some body heat.”

"Furthermore, there are no visible wounds on the dog, but it looks like it's in pain. Clearly, it was poisoned after eating something it shouldn't have."

Xu Yao, who said this, glared at Su Ruo with disdain: "What a shameless woman! You value a mere dead dog more than the truth. I think you shouldn't get married in the future; you might as well marry a dog."

"Anyway, the matter is clear: Jiang Feng didn't kill the dog. As for how it died from poisoning, I can't be bothered with that. Go investigate it yourself if you're so capable."

Hearing Xu Yao's words, Jiang Feng looked at Xu Yao with a face full of surprise.

Xu Yao glanced at Jiang Feng as well: "What, you're surprised that I proved your innocence? Well, what can I do? I'm not a petty, narrow-minded person."

Jiang Feng's lips twitched a few times, then he lowered his head and said to Xu Yao, "Thank you. I thought you were going to frame me with those three women and I was going to hit you."

"I know I can't make it up to you right now, but once I become stronger, I'll definitely find a way to repay your kindness. In the future, I'll definitely work hard to catch up with you."

Hearing this, Xu Yao laughed: "If you can catch up, then we'll talk about it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the elder named Lin Tianhu slowly walked towards them.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Xu Yao and Jiang Feng bowed to Lin Tianhu together.

Xu Yao laughed.

"Isn't this Elder Lin Tianhu?"

Lin Tianhu also laughed and gestured for the two to dispense with formalities.

Then, Lin Tianhu looked at Su Ruo and the other two.

“Elder,” Su Ruo said, looking aggrieved, “Xu Yao has committed insubordination and even hit us. Elder, you must stand up for us.”

Lin Tianhu shook his head at this.

"You think I didn't see or hear anything just now? You three are really disappointing."

Upon hearing this, Su Ruo and the other two froze on the ground, completely at a loss for words.

"The three of you deserve some punishment."

"As for Jiang Feng and Xu Yao, it's up to you two whether you want to leave or stay.

Xu Yao wasn't interested in what punishment the three women would receive, and left immediately.

After all, instead of spending time watching three women cry and whine, it's better to find some fun for yourself.

When he left with Jiang Feng, he learned from Jiang Feng why Jiang Feng had been put in solitary confinement.

It turns out this guy has a bad temper. He had a conflict with a peddler who was trying to scam him while he was on a mission down the mountain.

The vendor called for reinforcements, and the two sides started fighting.

As expected, the matter would have been settled simply by dealing with the vendors.

But the vendor seized the opportunity to frame Jiang Feng, who was unable to prove his innocence and was thus placed in solitary confinement.

His master was Elder Lin Tianhu.

Lin Tianhu trusted his disciple and knew the inside story. That's why he asked the sect leader to release him ahead of schedule.

Furthermore, Jiang Feng was instructed to temper his character during his confinement so that he could remain calm in the face of adversity in the future.

Xu Yao chuckled upon hearing this.

"But you don't seem very calm either."

"I think it's alright. If it were me, I would have already taken action. But speaking of which, you're really something."
