Liu Chengfeng probably didn't expect Hu Zhuiyu to suddenly come forward to clarify the relationship between him and Cheng Yue, and he remembered that he didn't seem to have told Hu Zhuiyu about this matter. Not only did he not tell Hu Zhuiyu, he and Cheng Yue were studying alchemy together under Uncle Fangyi. Except for the cultivators of Danfu Sect, the cultivators of other sects should not know about it.

Unless someone else in the sect said it, thinking of this, Liu Chengfeng looked at the fellow disciples around him.

He Xuxing was very dissatisfied with his behavior of not taking the initiative to prove that Cheng Yue was a good person, and was looking at him unhappily. Cheng Yue herself was probably also in a difficult situation because of Hu Zhuiyu's sudden disruption, but she was not as confident as He Xuxing. There seemed to be some expectation in her eyes when she looked at him, but it was not obvious. If he was not familiar with her, he would not have been able to see the faint expectation or even pleading in her eyes.

She hoped that he would stand up and speak for her now! Although it was a little late, there was always an explanation. For example, the reason why he didn't stand up at the first time was because he, Liu Chengfeng, had always been a timid person who would escape when encountering problems.

Liu Chengfeng's gaze inevitably turned to his teammates Xiao Qin and Guan Shanhai. The two shook their heads at him, meaning that they had not told anyone about his relationship with Cheng Yue.

Hu Zhuiyu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Liu. I learned this by chance from a conversation I overheard between you, Fellow Daoist Xiao, and Fellow Daoist Guan."

"Are you eavesdropping?" Guan Shanhai blurts out.

"Fellow Daoist Guan, there are some issues with what you said. My Senior Sister Hu has never bothered to eavesdrop. It was you who spoke too loudly, and the sound automatically reached our ears. Not only did Senior Sister Hu overhear it, but Senior Brother Qu and I also overheard it. We haven't blamed you for disturbing us, but you are the first to complain, accusing us of eavesdropping. Where is justice!"

"That's right, where is justice?" Qu Manxiang nodded in agreement.

Liu Chengfeng's expression remained unchanged, but he didn't know how to refute. After all, after He Xuxing's group went on stage to refine the medicine, they had already finished the competition in the previous game, so they had the leisure to comment on the alchemy situation of each group on the field. It seemed that he was indeed talking about the situation of Cheng Yue and him refining the medicine beside Master Fang Yi.

In that situation, they were surrounded by monks watching the game, and everyone was expressing their suggestions and opinions. The voices were loud and soft, and it was very noisy. After all, the viewing area and the competition area were soundproofed by formations, so there was no need to worry about affecting the participating monks on the field, so the three of them naturally did not use soundproof covers.

He never thought that just a few words would be heard by others, and the person who heard it was Hu Zhuiyu from Lingque Sect.

He knew this Fellow Daoist Hu. Although he was only a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, he served as a deacon in the Lingque Sect's Deacon Hall. He had a cheerful and bright personality and acted decisively. Of course, this was a good evaluation. A bad evaluation was that he was ruthless and reckless.

So now that she has spoken, it will be hard to get away with it.

"Junior Brother Liu, we have something to do when we get back." Xiao Qin urged.

Liu Chengfeng coughed lightly and said, "Friend Hu is right. Junior Sister Cheng and I both learned alchemy from Senior Sister Fangyi, but apart from alchemy, we have no private communication. So, I really have nothing to say about Junior Sister Cheng's character."

Liu Chengfeng felt that he had already given face to Cheng Yue. If He Xuxing had not been protecting him in front, his words would not have been so decent.

After he finished speaking, he ignored the attitudes of the Danfu Sect cultivators and didn't even look at He Xuxing and Cheng Yue's expressions. He bowed to the three people from the Lingque Sect and said, "I have something else to do. Bye!"

Xiao Qin and Guan Shanhai also bowed and said goodbye. They only greeted the monks of Lingque Sect and did not even glance at the monks of Jinling Sect.

This has nothing to do with Sui An and the others, but is because the Jinling Sect has declined and is not in the eyes of the Danfu Sect cultivators at all, even though they still have a Foundation Establishment cultivator like Wang Hao.

The Jinling Sect cultivators were quite indifferent to Liu Chengfeng and his group's departure. Wang Hao even smiled at He Xuxing, "Fellow Daoist He, look at the situation now..."

He Xuxing's face darkened slightly. He looked towards the other cultivators of Danfu Sect, but those cultivators either took advantage of the opportunity when Liu Chengfeng and the other two left and left as well, while those who had not yet left avoided his gaze.

He Xuxing snorted lightly and was about to say something when he heard the person on the other side speak first.

"Fellow Daoist He, I swear on my inner demon that the accusations against Fellow Daoist Cheng are not fabricated. If I say even a single word of this, I will be struck by thunder from heaven and burned by fire from the earth!"

Sui An walked through the fellow disciples who were blocking her way and looked straight at Cheng Yue, but Cheng Yue did not dare to look at her.

After Sui An made the oath to his inner demon, all the cultivators present almost simultaneously turned their eyes to Cheng Yue. Although He Xuxing blocked the gazes of Sui An and the other Jinling Sect cultivators for her, behind her were her fellow disciples, as well as three people from the Lingque Sect who were watching the fun not far away. At this moment, she felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles, and just wanted to leave here quickly.

Of course, she couldn't leave unless she swore a heart demon oath on the spot like Sui'an. Although the rules of heaven and earth were beginning to emerge, some cultivators would find loopholes by various means, but with Sui'an's cultivation level and the Jinling Sect she belonged to, neither she nor the sect behind her had the strength to avoid heavenly punishment and swore a heart demon oath at will.

It is not known whether the Danfu Sect has this ability, but Cheng Yue certainly does not have it, so she doesn't dare to swear at all.

Although Cheng Yue tried her best to appear calm and natural, everyone present could sense that she was guilty.

"Brother He, I... that time the Star Beast attacked. I'd never faced anything like that before. I was so nervous and panicked, I was only focused on repelling the Star Beast. I lost my composure and maybe... maybe I accidentally bumped into Fellow Daoist Sui... Who knows?"

Cheng Yue whispered to He Xuxing. Seeing her so panicked and frightened, He Xuxing showed pity on his face. The moment she opened her mouth, he took out a soundproofing magic weapon, so he was the only one who heard Cheng Yue's words.

"Don't worry, I'll help you with this. Just don't say anything for a while and just stand behind me."

Seeing that He Xuxing didn't show any suspicion or disgust on his face, she breathed a sigh of relief and gave him a grateful smile, "Thank you, Brother He!"

He Xuxing said helplessly: "There's no need for this between you and me."

After saying this, he put away the soundproofing device.

Naturally, no one else knew what the two of them said, but He Xuxing's subsequent actions made it easy for everyone to guess what their conversation was about.

Sui An watched He Xuxing walking straight towards him. Wang Hao, Fan Tuo and others were about to step forward to stop him, but were stopped by Sui An.

He Xuxing walked up to Sui An and stood in front of her, bowing deeply to her.
