Proving one's path through killing—this kind of merit is poisonous!

Chapter 20 The Robber is King!
"How can you prove it? This jade pendant is just an ordinary object; do you expect it to speak?"

Fu Qingxue frowned. She didn't know where Gu Jinhe had come from, but she had clearly affected her plans.

Zhou Yue suddenly spoke up: "I have a way. I knocked this jade pendant before, and there is an inconspicuous crack where the rope is covering it."

Upon hearing her words, someone in the crowd spoke up, "If she weren't the owner of the jade pendant, how would she know these details?"

"Could it be that Junior Sister Fu is really framing Senior Sister Zhou?"

"..."

Seeing the public opinion reverse, Qin Shu couldn't help but look at Fu Qingxue and ask, "Junior Sister..."

Fu Qingxue cursed under her breath and glared at Gu Jinhe. If Gu Jinhe hadn't suddenly appeared and said those words, she would have already gotten the jade pendant.

Strange, she had never seen this person in her previous life!

Fortunately, she knew just as much about the details of this jade pendant as that idiot Zhou Yue.

“Senior sister, I thought we were all from the same sect, but you went too far. Not only did you take the jade pendant, but you also wrote down the details.”

With red eyes, Fu Qingxue said, "Besides the crack you just mentioned, there is also a bit of red in this jade. The cord of the jade pendant is woven from silkworm silk, which cannot be cut by a sharp blade or burned by a fire."

Upon hearing this, not only did the onlookers look even more confused, but Zhou Yue also looked incredulous.

This is clearly her ancestral jade pendant, so why would Fu Qingxue know the details?
She didn't even know what the rope was made of.

Hearing the surrounding chatter, Zhou Yue knew that she had lost the power to refute it.

No one here believed her, and even if she wanted to say something more, she had no way to say it.

In the end, all that was left was silence...

Fu Qingxue smiled with a sense of certainty.

In her past life, she was able to take the jade pendant from Zhou Yue, and now that she's been reborn, she can do it again!

Just as she was about to leave, holding Qin Shu's hand, she heard Gu Jinhe's voice.

"This jade pendant is a deep green color throughout, of excellent quality, and is indeed a fine jade."

Fu Qingxue nodded subconsciously: "Of course..."

But before she could finish speaking, she suddenly realized something was wrong. Looking in the direction of the sound, she saw Gu Jinhe holding up the jade pendant and making a "tsk tsk" sound of amazement.

Fu Qingxue hurriedly touched her waist and discovered that the jade pendant she had tied around it was indeed gone...

She glared at Gu Jinhe, but didn't forget her persona, so she softened her tone and said, "Junior sister, that's my jade pendant."

"No, it's mine now."

Gu Jinhe shook the rope, then held the jade pendant in her hand, showing no intention of returning it to Fu Qingxue.

"How could you do this? You're blatantly stealing!" Qin Shu said angrily.

"You can also take it back from me."

Gu Jinhe chuckled and said, "The sect rules state that the strong are respected in the sect, and harming fellow disciples is not allowed, but sparring is permitted. Do you know what that means?"

Qin Shu frowned and asked, following up on the question, "What?"

"So, as long as I can beat Senior Sister Fu, this jade pendant will be mine." With that, Gu Jinhe looked towards the back of the crowd and said loudly, "Senior Brother Wan Qi, do you think I'm right?"

Judging from Fu Qingxue's expression, this jade pendant must be very useful. Since she was able to take it by trickery, why can't I just snatch it directly?

Of course, before taking action, she made a point of observing the people present. Apart from those at the Wanqi realm who were above her, the others either hadn't yet learned how to draw Qi into their bodies or were stuck at the first level of Qi Refining.

The only one who could defeat her, Wan Qi, had just met Senior Sister Qing Yuan, so he certainly wouldn't lay a hand on her.

If you don't seize this opportunity now, when will you?

"Junior sister is right, but..."

Wan Qi was about to say that sparring would damage the bond between fellow disciples, and that it would be better to sit down and discuss it properly. But before he could finish speaking, he saw Gu Jinhe tilt her head and say to Qin Shu and Fu Qingxue, "Did you hear that?"

"you……"

Fu Qingxue was furious. She had finally managed to get the jade pendant from Zhou Yue, so how could she let Gu Jinhe snatch it away so easily?

How come I've never seen her before?

So Fu Qingxue began to think about the direction she came from, and after glancing at Wan Qi, she had another guess in her mind.

Could this young girl be a new disciple who has just joined the sect?

If he really is a new disciple, Fu Qingxue would actually feel relieved...

“Junior sister, you’ve just arrived at the sect, so you probably don’t even know about spiritual energy or guiding spiritual energy into your body. Why don’t you listen to me and return the jade pendant to me, and I’ll exchange it with you for something else.”

Fu Qingxue's tone was tinged with doting, and the way she looked at Gu Jinhe was as if she were looking at an ignorant child.

Gu Jinhe shook her head and said, "I only want it."

This stinky girl!

Fu Qingxue bit her lip lightly. Seeing this, Qin Shu also felt anxious and couldn't help but whisper, "Junior sister, I can't help you this time. Can you do it?"

Although the sect rules do allow disciples in the miscellaneous affairs department to spar privately, it is limited to those of the same cultivation level.

This is also why Fu Qingxue brought Qin Shu over, to prevent Zhou Yue from resorting to desperate measures and attacking her.

Now Qin Shu is no longer a reliable source of support; in the end, she will have to rely on herself.

Thinking of this, Fu Qingxue cursed "useless" in her heart, but on the surface she had to pretend to be obedient.

"Don't worry, Senior Sister. I've been at Qingkou Peak for three years. How could I not even beat a new disciple?"

Wan Qi touched his nose, wondering how many moves this new disciple could withstand from Fu Qingxue.

He hoped that Junior Sister Fu would go easy on him, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain it to Senior Sister Qingyuan.

With that thought in mind, he raised his hand and said, "Since you insist on sparring, I will supervise you!"

The onlookers quickly made way for him.

This sparked a lot of discussion.

"I don't know what's so interesting about two disciples who haven't even reached the Qi Refining stage fighting."

"If you don't want to watch, then go away and don't block our view."

"Although Senior Sister Fu has never mastered the art of guiding internal energy into the body, she has diligently studied swordsmanship for many years. This little girl is no match for her."

"Sigh, that little girl brought it on herself. Who told her to take Senior Sister Fu's jade pendant for no reason and not return it? She deserves to be taught a lesson."

"..."

Gu Jinhe handed the jade pendant to Wan Qi and said, "I feel more at ease with Senior Brother Wan looking after it."

"Junior sister, how about you..."

Wan Qi wanted to persuade her to admit defeat again, but before he could finish speaking, Gu Jinhe turned and walked towards Fu Qingxue.

Seeing this, Wan Qi had no choice but to shut up.

Halfway there, Gu Jinhe seemed to suddenly remember something and walked around to Zhou Yue's side.

Seeing that the light in her eyes had faded and she was completely absorbed in her own world, Gu Jinhe couldn't help but reach out and tug at her sleeve, asking, "Senior Sister, can you lend me a sword?"

After saying that, she added, "If you don't have a sword, a knife, dagger, axe, or a wooden stick will do."

　They've got a new cover! The new cover looks amazing, I love it!
　　Finally, and this is important to emphasize, Choi Cheong-won is a girl!!!
