Traveling through the world of immortal cultivation: My system is amazing

Chapter 65: Love grows stronger amidst the fog of business

As soon as Shopkeeper Qian finished speaking, the battle was about to break out.

Amidst the flashing of swords and the shadow of sabers, Xiao Bei and Bei Li were like dancing butterflies, moving freely among the men in black.

Beili's whip was like a spirit snake. Every time it was swung, it was accompanied by a crisp sound of breaking through the air. It whipped the man in black, leaving streaks of blood.

"You little brat, you want to catch me with this little ability? Go home and raise pigs!" Beili did not forget to mock him while fighting.

Xiao Bei's swordsmanship was even more fluid, with sword energy running rampant and every move deadly. He could knock down a group of people in just a few breaths.

Shopkeeper Qian was horrified as he watched from the side. The strength of these two people was far beyond his expectations.

"Waste! A bunch of waste!" Shopkeeper Qian roared in frustration and joined the battle himself. The spiritual power fluctuations of the early stage of foundation building burst out instantly.

"Xiao Bei, give me your life!" Shopkeeper Qian slapped Xiao Bei in the face with a fierce force.

Xiao Bei dodged sideways and stabbed Manager Qian in the chest with his sword.

Shopkeeper Qian quickly blocked the attack, and the two men fought back and forth, with the fight being difficult to resolve.

The battle lasted for a long time, and Xiao Bei gradually felt a little pressure.

Although he was strong, he was outnumbered after all, not to mention that Manager Qian had helpers who were watching him closely.

He realized that he couldn't keep wasting time like this and had to find a breakthrough as soon as possible.

Xiao Bei's eyes rolled and a plan came to his mind.

He deliberately exposed a flaw to lure Manager Qian closer.

As expected, Shopkeeper Qian was fooled and thought he had won, so he rushed forward in triumph.

"Xiao Bei, you're dead!"

Just as Manager Qian approached, Xiao Bei's mouth corners suddenly raised slightly, revealing a sly smile.

"Manager Qian, you've taken the bait!"

A figure flashed out from the crowd. It was Elder Sun who had disappeared before.

He held a dagger that shone with a cold light in his hand and stabbed it straight into the back of Shopkeeper Qian.

"What?!" Shopkeeper Qian was horrified and wanted to dodge, but it was too late...

"Elder Sun, you..." Shopkeeper Qian looked at Elder Sun behind him in disbelief, his voice trembling.

Elder Sun smiled sinisterly, "Shopkeeper Qian, I'm sorry, but someone has offered a higher price."

The dagger pierced deeply into Manager Qian's back, and blood gushed out.

Shopkeeper Qian widened his eyes and slowly fell down in disbelief.

"You...you..." He stretched out his hand, as if trying to grab something, but it finally fell down weakly.

Elder Sun sneered and pulled out his dagger. Blood dripped down the blade, splashing blood on the bluestone slabs.

"People die for money, birds die for food, shopkeeper Qian, blame yourself for being on the wrong side."

Xiao Bei watched all this quietly from the side, without any fluctuation in his eyes.

He had long anticipated that Elder Sun would betray him, and all this was part of his plan.

"Elder Sun, it's a pleasure to work with you." Xiao Bei said lightly.

Elder Sun turned to look at Xiao Bei, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes.

"Xiao Bei, where are the benefits you promised me?"

Xiao Bei smiled slightly, took out a jade slip from his storage bag and threw it to Elder Sun.

"It's all here."

Elder Sun grabbed the jade slip, probed his spiritual sense into it, and an expression of ecstasy suddenly appeared on his face.

"Haha, it really is a good thing! Xiao Bei, you know what's happening. We'll be friends from now on."

Xiao Bei curled his lips into a sneer, friend?

It's just mutual exploitation.

"Elder Sun, now that Shopkeeper Qian is dead, the Chamber of Commerce's minions are leaderless. This is a good time for us to close in."

"That's exactly what I want!" Elder Sun couldn't wait to take the Chamber of Commerce's wealth for himself.

Xiao Bei and Elder Sun, along with the remaining men in black, quickly took control of the entire Chamber of Commerce and looted all its property.

Xiao Bei took advantage of the chaos to collect evidence of the collusion between Manager Qian and Elder Sun and hid it in a storage bag.

In the chaos, Beili always followed Xiao Bei closely.

"Xiao Bei, are you okay?" Bei Li asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's just a small scene." Xiao Bei rubbed Bei Li's hair and said lovingly.

When Beili saw that Xiao Bei was safe and sound, she excitedly threw herself into Xiao Bei's arms.

"It scared me to death. I thought..."

Xiao Bei smelled the faint fragrance on Bei Li's body and felt her soft body, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He patted Beili's back gently and said softly, "Silly girl, how could I make you worry."

Beili raised her head, her eyes full of love, and looked at Xiao Bei affectionately.

The atmosphere between the two became ambiguous, and everything around them seemed to disappear, leaving only each other.

"Ahem..." Elder Sun coughed twice awkwardly, breaking the warm atmosphere.

Bei Li's pretty face turned red and she quickly broke free from Xiao Bei's arms.

"Well... I'll go see if there are any fish that have slipped through the net." After saying that, he left as if escaping.

Xiao Bei smiled helplessly and turned to look at Elder Sun. "Elder Sun, what's next..."

"The next step is of course to divide the spoils equally!" Elder Sun rubbed his hands, looking excited.

Xiao Bei gave Elder Sun a meaningful look and said slowly, "Elder Sun, you seem to have forgotten something..." He took out a jade box from his storage bag and opened it. Inside, a pill lay quietly...

Xiao Bei shook the jade box in his hand. Inside lay a pitch-black pill, emitting a strange aura.

"Elder Sun, do you recognize this thing?"

Elder Sun took a closer look and his face turned pale instantly. This was the infamous "Bone-Eroding Pill". Once taken, all spiritual power would be lost and the person would become a cripple!

He took a step back in horror, "What...what do you want to do?"

"Elder Sun, you are so forgetful," Xiao Bei said, with a half-smile, "It seems that the 'cooperation' between you and me is not over yet."

Elder Sun's expression kept changing, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

He understood that Xiao Bei was trying to force him to submit.

"What...what do you want?"

"It's very simple," Xiao Bei put away the Bone Erosion Pill, "Do me a small favor."

Xiao Bei took the account books and some letters he had looted from Manager Qian and found several respected elders in the sect.

He laid out before them the evidence that the Chamber of Commerce was colluding with the demonic cultivators to smuggle contraband.

"Elders, the actions of the Chamber of Commerce have seriously jeopardized the stability of the Immortal Cultivation World. Please be vigilant!"

The elders were skeptical at first, but when they saw the irrefutable evidence, they expressed their willingness to deal with the matter seriously.

Xiao Bei finally got some support, but it was far from enough.

When Elder Sun learned of Xiao Bei's actions, he was furious.

He knew very well that once the evidence was confirmed, he would be implicated.

So, he began to spread rumors within the sect, saying that Xiao Bei was instructed by someone to deliberately discredit the Chamber of Commerce in order to compete for resources and eliminate dissidents.

For a time, rumors spread within the sect and Xiao Bei became the target of public criticism.

All kinds of sarcasm and doubts followed one after another, and some people even publicly accused him of having evil ambitions and ulterior motives.

"Xiao Bei, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have a little ability! You are framing loyal people!" An elder pointed at Xiao Bei's nose and cursed indignantly.

Xiao Bei sneered, "Framed? The evidence is right here. Elders, take a good look and see who is conflating right and wrong!"

"Who knows whether your evidence is forged!" another elder said sarcastically.

"If you want to accuse someone of a crime, you can always find a pretext!" Xiao Bei glanced at everyone coldly, anger boiling in his heart.

He understood that it would be difficult to convince these old stubborn people based on this evidence alone.

Just then, Beili appeared.

She walked to Xiao Bei, gently held his hand, and gave him an encouraging look.

"Xiao Bei, don't worry"

Bei Li turned to face the crowd, smiled slightly, and said, "Elders, since the evidence is not enough to convince everyone, why not..." She paused, a cunning glint in her eyes, "Let me help everyone restore the truth."

Bei Li smiled sweetly, raised her jade hand slightly, a light flashed at her fingertips, and a series of vivid pictures suddenly appeared in the air.

In the picture, Elder Sun and Shopkeeper Qian have a secret meeting to discuss how to frame Xiao Bei, and there is even a scene of them trading with the demon cultivators.

These images were displayed clearly in front of everyone like a movie, leaving no room for doubt.

"Wow, this is confirmed!" A young disciple couldn't help but exclaimed.

The elders were all stunned, their faces ashen.

They didn't expect that Elder Sun was actually colluding with the Chamber of Commerce and had an affair with the evil cultivators!

"Elder Sun, do you have anything else to say?" a highly respected elder shouted angrily.

Elder Sun's face was pale, his whole body was trembling, and he couldn't utter a word.

He never thought that Beili actually had such a method!

Now he is completely finished!

Xiao Bei looked at Bei Li's confident look and felt a surge of admiration in his heart.

"Beili, you are so awesome!" He couldn't help but praise.

Beili winked playfully, "Of course, don't you see who I am?"

Seeing the two showing affection without paying attention to others, the elders coughed a few times to remind them that they were still in a serious occasion.

Elder Sun was apprehended on the spot, and he would be severely punished according to the sect's rules.

The Chamber of Commerce was found guilty of colluding with the evil cultivators, and was sealed off, with its properties confiscated.

Xiao Bei finally cleared his name and gained great reputation.

He looked at Beili, his eyes full of tenderness.

However, the story does not end there.

Thousands of miles away, in a secret cave, Shopkeeper Qian was furious when he learned that Elder Sun's plan had failed.

"Waste! All of you waste!" He threw the teacup in his hand to the ground, and the pieces flew everywhere.

"It seems that we have no choice but to start that plan..." A sinister light flashed in Shopkeeper Qian's eyes. He took out a pitch-black box and slowly opened it.

In the box, a blood-red bead lay quietly, emitting a heart-pounding aura.

"Xiao Bei, just wait for me!" Shopkeeper Qian gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to make you live a life worse than death!"

At the same time, Xiao Bei and Bei Li were celebrating their victory.

"Come on, cheers!" Xiao Bei raised his glass and clinked it with Bei Li.

"Cheers!" Beili smiled sweetly and drank with Xiao Bei.

Suddenly, the wine glass in Xiao Bei's hand shattered with a "snap", the fragments cut his fingers, and blood dripped.

"What's going on?" Beili exclaimed.

Xiao Bei's face changed and he felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

"I'm afraid... there's trouble..."
