Quick Wear: An honest man is always criticized for forced love

The two of them didn't sleep for long before they were awakened by the noise outside the door. Shen Jun opened his eyes in a daze, only to see that Qi Qingchuan had woken up at some point, and his pair of deep brown fox eyes were staring at him without blinking.

Shen Jun was not used to being stared at by him for a moment, so he could only avoid his gaze unconsciously, not daring to look him in the eye.

"Are you woken up? Do you want to sleep a little longer? After all, we played around for so long last night." Qi Qingchuan looked at Shen Jun seriously.

Shen Jun thought about it and shook his head. It looked like things were not peaceful outside, and as the eldest senior brother, he had to go out and take a look.

"No, you sleep a little longer, I'll go out for a look..." Shen Jun said as he tried to get up, but the pain in his waist almost made him fall back down.

A pair of strong arms wrapped around the waist and hugged him tightly. Qi Qingchuan hugged Shen Jun like a spoiled child and said, "Don't go." in an extremely childish tone.

Shen Jun listened and couldn't help but chuckle. He finally stood up despite the pain, took his clothes and changed. Before leaving, he did not forget to remind Qi Qingchuan not to run around and to stay here and wait for him to come back.

The door was closed. Qi Qingchuan looked at Shen Jun's departing back. The smile on his face instantly disappeared, and even his eyes became a little darker.

He turned over and sat up, looking at the door. His eyes were dim and unclear, and it was unclear what he was thinking. Only his back looked a little more lonely.

A group of former disciples of Zihua Mountain gathered outside the mountain gate. Some of them have now established their own sects, while others have retired but rushed back upon hearing that something had changed in their master's sect.

As a member of Qingyue Mountain, Tan Zhi had done that kind of thing to Zihua Mountain, so the blame would inevitably fall on Qingyue Mountain.

Now that several masters are gone, Shen Jun is the hope of everyone in this mountain. Before he comes out, Qingping is still standing in front of everyone and arguing with the newcomers.

When they saw Shen Jun coming out, everyone turned to look at Shen Jun as if they had found a backbone.

Shen Jun had a sore waist, and his legs weren't much better either, so his walking posture was a little strange.

On the way here, Shen Jun opened the dialog box with 031 again. Last night, for convenience, he had to temporarily close 031. Now, when he opened it, the message instantly filled the entire screen.

[Congratulations to the host, Qi Qingchuan's blackening value is -9000]

[Current blackening value, host, please keep up the good work~]

When Shen Jun heard the words "keep up the good work", his legs almost went weak and he fell down. Last night... it was because of his efforts that the value dropped so quickly?

[Yes, host, you will lose 10 points if you hit me~]

Shen Jun's ears turned red when he heard this.

When he came in front of his fellow disciples, 031 spoke again.

[Host, the public's anger index is currently high. It is not recommended that you confront them head-on. Just show that you will give them a satisfactory explanation.]

Shen Jun listened and nodded silently. This was what he originally thought.

After walking a few steps forward, a purple light suddenly appeared in front of me. It was Xianyang.

He floated down in front of everyone and instantly calmed down those who were ready to do something evil.

Shen Jun looked at Xian Yang with gratitude, then turned around and bowed to everyone.

The young man stood in the center of the main hall at the mountain gate, dressed in green and with an upright posture. He explained in a steady and unhurried tone the causes and consequences of Tan Zhi's possession of the devil to the people who came to Qingyue Mountain to ask for an explanation.

With Xian Yang sitting nearby, no one else dared to act rashly. However, Shen Jun cleverly avoided the details of how Tan Shi improved his cultivation, and only said that he had taken a unorthodox path.

As for the matter of Zihua Mountain, Shen Jun swore in front of the hall that Qingyue Mountain would definitely capture Tan Zhi and bring him to Zihua Mountain to give an explanation to everyone present.

However, there are always people in the crowd who are not afraid of trouble. As Shen Jun was speaking, a voice suddenly interrupted.

"You say nice things, but everyone knows that you and the demon king are having an affair. Maybe... you were the one who framed the Immortal Master Tan Zhi." As the man spoke, he walked out of the crowd and confronted Shen Jun.

"Otherwise, if it is true as you said that he is now so powerful that he can kill the three of you from Qingyue Mountain and the one from Zihua Mountain by himself, who else in this world can defeat him? If he wants the demon treasure of the demon king, wouldn't it be easy for him to get it? Why does he have to hide and even send letters to hundreds of families to slander you?"

Shen Jun listened to what the man said, looking him up and down. After he finished speaking, Shen Jun did not respond immediately.

Xianyang thought Shen Jun was stumped by the question, and was about to say a few words to help him when he saw Shen Jun smiling at him, indicating that he should be patient.

"What this young master said is absolutely right. Tan Zhi is indeed capable of taking the demon king's demon pill directly. But if the matter is exposed and the demon world attacks, let alone the strength of the new demon king, even the strength of the old demon king and his demon queen who has never been seen is not comparable to those of you present."

"Besides, if he really acts rashly, you may not stand on his side once the matter is exposed. No matter how powerful he is, he can't beat four people with two fists. Why not design a plan to provoke a dispute between the two sides, let you and the demon world stand on the opposite side, and sacrifice me, an unknown disciple, in exchange for you standing on his side. It seems to be a good deal."

Shen Jun explained in a deep voice, and everyone thought that what he said made sense for a moment. When people's hearts were wavering, Xian Yang took action in time.

"Everyone, allow me to say a few more words. What we should discuss now is how to find Tan Zhi and the missing Cheng Hua master and apprentice. Why do we have to fight among ourselves? If we can't find Tan Zhi, the next person to be exterminated may very well be any one of you sitting here."

As Xianyang spoke, he glanced around the hall, and everyone fell silent.

A crisis that was not really a crisis was resolved by Shen Jun. After seeing everyone off, Shen Jun turned around and was about to go back to his room when he was stopped by Qing Ping. Behind him was Gao Wei, who was peeking out of his mind.

"Senior Brother..." Gao Wei called Shen Jun first.

Shen Jun smiled calmly when he heard this, "What's wrong?"

"Master, is he...really as you said?" Gao Wei was in a bad mood, and his voice sounded a little muffled.

Shen Jun raised his head and looked at Qingping. Qingping had the same expression on his face as Gao Wei. Shen Jun understood in his heart that after all, they were also picked up by Tan Zhi and brought to the mountain. If it weren't for Tan Zhi, they might have been left on the streets, starved to death, or died from the evil spirit.

Although Tan Zhi was wrong, he did save Gao Wei and Qing Ping's lives.

Shen Jun hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking, "Perhaps Master is just... temporarily controlled by his inner demons. What I said is only the facts I saw, which is inevitably one-sided. You will have your own opinion on the truth after you understand the whole story."

Gao Wei looked at Shen Jun and nodded in confusion.

Seeing that the two had nothing more to say, Shen Jun was about to turn around and leave, but before he turned around he heard Qingping calling him.

"Brother, no matter what the outcome is, we brothers will always stand by your side." Qingping looked at Shen Jun and said with great sincerity on his face.

Upon hearing this, Gao Wei immediately nodded. Shen Jun smiled and was about to say yes when he was surrounded by a group of fellow disciples who appeared out of nowhere.

"Yes, brother, we are always behind you!"

"Yes! Senior Brother, although our cultivation is not as good as yours and Second Senior Brother, as long as you ask us, we will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

"right!"

Shen Jun listened, his eyes suddenly turned red again, and finally, he smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will protect you even if I die."

The wind blew past the mountain gate, causing the corners of the young men's clothes to flutter in the wind. As the sun set, the warm yellow afterglow shining on them was as vigorous as the morning sun.

On a distant tree, with lush branches and leaves where sunlight could not penetrate, Qi Qingchuan stood on a thick branch and looked at Shen Jun who was surrounded by people in the distance.

The distant, untouchable Shen Jun, the Shen Jun who never completely belonged to him.

The fox just stood there, watching Shen Jun and a group of fellow disciples return to the mountain gate while chatting and laughing, just like he had done countless times before.

"Even if I die," Qi Qingchuan repeated this sentence with a self-deprecating smile on his lips.
