Shen Qing hesitated whether she should still speak up. She was afraid that the more she said, the guilt value of the three people in front of her would reach the maximum.
She knew very well that once their guilt value reached 100, Lin Yibai would be able to absorb their luck.
In her previous life, because of Shen Qing's submissiveness, their guilt value didn't rise this quickly.
Until her death, Master Hengling and the others were still alive and well.
This was one of the most remarkable settings in this book. Anyone could suffer grievances, but not Lin Yibai.
Even if others told the truth, as long as it hurt Lin Yibai, it would indirectly become a help to her.
What should she do...
Shen Qing even thought about calling Ling Zhou out and killing these people.
Hong Chaoyang was not good at dealing with such situations. Her mouth puckered, and a look of grievance appeared on her face.
Seeing this, Shen Qing suddenly came up with an idea.
As long as she didn't let these people think that Lin Yibai had suffered grievances.
So, Shen Qing pulled Hong Chaoyang and sat down on the ground, then began to cry loudly.
"Alas, how could we be so bad? We knew that Senior Sister Yibai was in poor health, but we still bullied her like this. It's okay that Senior Brother He and Senior Brother Pei didn't compensate us. For the sake of our fellow disciples, losing a storage bag and almost dying is nothing."
"Senior Sister Yibai is the apple of their eyes and a precious direct disciple. Didn't Senior Brother Shen say that it's not a loss to exchange the life of an inner - sect disciple for that of a direct disciple? Let's just endure it. Wuwuwuwu..."
At first, Hong Chaoyang didn't know what Shen Qing was up to. But under Shen Qing's winking, she understood and started to cry loudly.
Her expression was even more exaggerated than Shen Qing's.
She fell to the ground, and tears streamed down her face instantly. Her fragility was even more obvious than that of Lin Yibai, who was being flattered by Pei Xuanjing and the others.
"嘤嘤嘤, Junior Sister Shen, you're right. The lives of us inner - sect disciples aren't valuable. It's just that we got into danger and lost money while collecting herbs for Senior Sister Yibai. It's not a big deal. We can't be so petty, right?"
Qi Nian and his group were a bit stunned, but those who reacted quickly had already started crying.
Seeing Shen Qing bring up the old scores, Shen Chuyun was so angry that his face turned a bit red. He subconsciously denied it: "When did I ever say such a thing? Don't slander me!"
Unexpectedly, the next second, Shen Qing took out an image stone from her storage bag, and Shen Chuyun's words "They are Master Hengling's disciples. You're just an inner - sect disciple. Even if you exchange one of your lives for two of theirs, it's not a loss!" were played out.
The disciples who were watching were a bit skeptical at first, but now they all looked at Shen Chuyun in disbelief.
"Shen Qing... You... You all..." Shen Chuyun felt his face burning hot, and his ears were buzzing.
Hong Chaoyang didn't expect Shen Qing to have this trick up her sleeve. She looked at Shen Qing appreciatively.
Originally, Hong Chaoyang had been quite critical of Shen Qing. But now, it was as if a shackle had been broken. She suddenly thought that Shen Qing was the smartest and most beautiful disciple in the sect besides herself.
The inner - sect disciples also looked at Pei Xuanjing and the others with unfriendly expressions. They had thought that Shen Qing and Hong Chaoyang were being too excessive before, but now they thought that they weren't excessive enough.
Lin Yibai's face darkened. She didn't expect Shen Chuyun to be so stupid as to say such a thing in public and for it to be recorded by Shen Qing.
Pei Xuanjing and He Yu also looked at Shen Chuyun with unhappy expressions, their eyes full of blame.
Shen Chuyun panicked and explained: "Senior Brother Pei, Senior Brother He, I said those words in a moment of carelessness in order to save you. I don't really think so..."
"I just... I just wanted to save you so much," Shen Chuyun turned his pleading eyes to Lin Yibai, hoping that the understanding Junior Sister Yibai would plead for him.
But Lin Yibai shook her head and disagreed: "Senior Brother Shen, it's okay that you're usually unreliable in your actions, but how could you say such a thing? Senior Brother Pei, in a sense, what Senior Brother Shen did is sowing discord among fellow disciples. I really can't stand it. Please handle this fairly, Senior Brother Pei."
Shen Chuyun was stunned, his eyes full of hurt.
Wasn't Junior Sister Yibai the one who understood him the most? Why would she say such a thing? He clearly didn't mean it!
He had thought that Junior Sister Yibai understood his eagerness to save people. Why did she ask Senior Brother Pei to handle it fairly? She could have pleaded for him!
"Ding - Shen Chuyun's guilt value has dropped to 85."
Shen Qing raised her eyebrows and noticed that there was only disdain in Lin Yibai's eyes, as if she didn't care about Shen Chuyun's guilt value at all.
This was strange...
On the surface, Lin Yibai looked indignant, but in fact, she wished that everyone's attention would be shifted to the stupid Shen Chuyun.
Shen Chuyun was never a person with great luck. He only got a bit of luck because he was Shen Qing's younger brother. If she didn't need relatives to consume Shen Qing's luck, she wouldn't even look at Shen Chuyun.
A useless, brainless person who would abandon his own sister at the slightest provocation. Lin Yibai simply looked down on him!
After being hurt by Lin Yibai, Shen Chuyun was met with nothing but condemning looks. His self - esteem was instantly hurt.
In a fit of emotion, he felt the discomfort on his body getting stronger and stronger.
When he was saving people in the forest, his cultivation level suddenly increased inexplicably. He thought it was because of his talent, but then his cultivation level dropped in an instant.
At the same time, the itching on his body quickly subsided, but was replaced by general weakness and nausea.
He could endure these problems before, but now in this situation, these feelings were magnified. His back was covered in cold sweat, and his hands and feet were numb.
There was a voice in his mind shouting that they were all bad people and that he should kill them!
Especially when he saw Shen Qing's emotionless eyes looking at him, Shen Chuyun's heart was suddenly stabbed.
Then, his nose itched, and blood dripped down, falling on his already dirty Taoist robe.
Shen Chuyun touched the bloodstain blankly. In a daze, he fell straight backward.
Before losing consciousness, he seemed to see Junior Sister Yibai's impatient look...
"Yo, already fainted?" Shen Qing couldn't help but comment.
Hong Chaoyang quietly approached Shen Qing and whispered in her ear: "May I ask, I heard that Shen Chuyun is your younger brother. Is that true?"
Although Shen Qing didn't want to admit it, there was no way around it. He really was.
So Hong Chaoyang saw Shen Qing nod heavily: "My brother is extremely stupid. Please excuse him."
Hong Chaoyang showed a look of understanding. Everyone had some troublesome relatives. Her mother was also quite a headache.
"Then why do you seem so unconcerned? Your brother has fainted."
Shen Qing pursed her lips and motioned Hong Chaoyang to look over: "It's not my turn to act."
Hong Chaoyang looked in the direction Shen Qing was looking and was instantly speechless.
She saw Lin Yibai lying on Shen Chuyun's body, crying more sadly than anyone else, as if Shen Chuyun was already dead.
