Shi Tong suddenly spoke, surprising everyone.

“I was the one who heard the sound, making me go closer. And then there was a man's voice. That's what made me conclude that it must be an assassin.”

Even Shi Wei was surprised that he was willing to step up and accept responsibility. Wasn't he the one with a dog's conscience who only cares about himself? Why did he suddenly step up?

But Shi Tong's reason was simple. He was at a stage where he needed others to have faith in him and lean toward him, he couldn't afford to act like a coward.

Shi Wei looked at him, his eyes not betraying any emotions. He looked like always, a dead soul with an empty gaze.

“And when you realized you were mistaken, why didn't you apologize and leave immediately? Why let it escalate to this point?”

The question stomped him, he couldn't answer. Telling the truth was impossible.

“It can't be what it looks like now, could it? You went to peep at your sworn sister's body, and even brought along a group to humil

  • BACK IN MEDICINE SAGE VALLEY

    “Are you sure you want to make the transaction?” The system asked for the final time. “Of course, deduct the points.” “One thousand system point deducted for the transaction.”“Congratulations. You have gained the shadow skill, invisibility, you can go ahead and practice them.”Alvin was currently in the back mountain forests close to the medicine sage valley. He had snuck out of Heavenly Sword sect earlier in the evening during the first shift. Now he was waiting for the Medicine sage valley's dinner time so that he could sneak in, one of the advantages of inside information. He quickly sat cross legged and began to cultivate. ******Medicine sage valleyMurong Wuque was turning around on his bed, he didn't even cultivate much after eating dinner his servants brought him. He kept thinking about what Qin Li said, the words dancing in his head no matter how hard he tried to erase them. He sat up and gasped in exasperation at the words that seemed to be on repeat in his mind. “You

  • SHOCKED SPEECHLESS

    The voice of the intruder distracted everyone and they turned to the door to see the familiar face. “You, why are you coming from there?” Shi Tong shouted, pointing at the man who just entered, his eyes wide with shock and disbelief. Shi Wei frowned slightly, and furrowed his brows. “If I don't come from the door, where should I come from then? Where were you expecting me to come from?” Shi Wei answered coldly and turned to Shi Yue. He gasped in horror and quickly pulled off his cloak, draping it over her shoulders. Shi Yue was already crying, and her hand wielding the sword still steadily pointed at Shi Tong. “What in hell is going on here?” Shi Wei barked, taking note of the damages in Shi Yue’s inner room. Shi Yue made a beeline for Shi Tong again, slashing ruthlessly. “Little sister, calm down.” Shi Wei said hurriedly, trying to hold her arm. “Don't tell me to calm down.” She roared, pointing at his neck. He raised his hand in surrender, quickly taking a few steps back. “

  • not as expected

    Shi Tong rushed into the room, his sword drawn. He had heard the source of the sound, and knew exactly where to search, with six other disciples who are members of his patrol team in tow. He rushed straight to the inner room, while two others stayed back and searched the reception rooms, guest room and her main bedroom, four came with him. He rushed to the inner room, and Shi Yue immediately screamed on top of her voice, making everyone freeze for a second. Those that were not already there ran after Shi Tong, triggered by her loud scream. “Senior brother, what hap…” His words trailed of as he saw the situation. Shi Yue's hair and body was dripping wet, showing she just got out of the bath tub. Her comb was in her hand, her eyes wide with shock and horror, half frozen in the motion of combing her hair. Shi Yue screamed at the top of her voice and the comb fell from her hand. She grabbed her sword and immediately made a slash towards Shi Tong's neck. “You scoundrel! How dare

  • TROUBLE AT THE DOOR

    “You…” Alvin's words infuriated Shi Wei, and he didn't know how to respond. “You, you, yes me, what happened to me?” Alvin replied provocatively, glaring back at Shi Wei. “Go ahead and shout, come let's fight and destroy your A'yue's room, so that other disciples will rush in to know what's going on. Come and fight me, create a big commotion. You keep making noise as if you're afraid people will not know you're in Shi Yue's room. Have you been waiting for this?” “You…” Shi Wei was vibrating with the force of his fury, his sword pointed at Alvin's neck came even closer, precariously placed against his jugular. “What? Fight me if you dare. You kept creating commotion since you showed up instead of talking like a sensible human. Since you're eager to ruin your little sister's reputation, go ahead and shout, break things in the house. So that people will know there's a man here. And they will also see you. What excuse do you have to be in her room? By then, it won't just be her re

  • A precarious situation

    “What's going on here?” Shi Yue's voice halted the both of them. “First brother, why are you in my dressing room?” Shi Wei didn't bother to turn to her, his voice was cold and halting. “The question should be, what is this sneaky thug doing in your chambers so early in the morning?” “Who are you calling a thief? Are people from Tian Luo sect always so rude and sassy?” Alvin interrupted, giving Shi Wei a condescending glance. “Ah? You're back.” Shi Yue muttered in surprise as she looked at Alvin who was glaring at Shi Wei, and her heart skipped a few beats. “Do you know him?” Shi Wei asked coldly, pushing the blade closer to his neck. Alvin rolled his eyes and leaned against the wall, closing his eyes without a care. Shi Yue couldn't help but curse Alvin for putting her into a precarious and humiliating situation. Soon, all the sect members will know that a man was in her room. Where will she put her face after that? The bastard didn't come back for two days, making her wo

  • Going back to the heavenly sword sect

    Alvin crept back into the heavenly sword sect through the secret route Shi Yue showed him. “Damn it! It's already 5a.m. it's time to swap duty and begin the patrols.” He muttered, activating his night vision skill. He would have arrived earlier but he had things to do, delaying his return. From creating hidden exit points which would enable him to enter medicine sage valley without the scrutiny and hassle of the main entrance, to making sure they were properly hidden out of sight. Then he still had to visit Qin Li, and give him the storage ring packed with his treasures. And also listen to him nag and ask to be released. Which of course was impossible, Alvin will never let him go till he was done with his missions. A patrol walked past in the distance and he quickly dived behind a sculpture, holding his breath to hide his aura and make himself seem one with the stone statue. After a few minutes, they left and he sighed in relief, gasping for air. Without waiting for further e

  • CLOSE CALL

    The scowl on Alvin's face after hearing about the people trapped in there was a spectacle to behold. “Don't even think about saving them. They have been demonized, losing their sanity. The traps around that place are complex, not something you can handle within a short while. In addition to that, there's that beast keeping guard and also touch sensors. Qian Beihe will immediately rush here with his disciples if anything comes close to that area. You're better off facing what you came for. Your current self is too weak to manage him.” “I had no plans of doing that. Maybe, I will tell Qin Li about it if I find a suitable time before I leave. Then he and Murong Wuque would make long term plans about how to tackle him.” “Stop. The invisible trap is two steps before you.” That was all the instruction Alvin needed, he had been carefully placing his foot on the green shoe marks created by the system's simulation. He had just frowned, and was about to ask the system the reason there wer

  • Entering the garden

    After a while, Alvin heard a slight hiss, like the air being let out of a punctured tyre. And finally, he managed to pry out the formation disc embedded inside the ground. With the two poles he received from the system, he stuck it into the ground, four feet apart, just open enough to create a door for him to pass through. After a few more finishing touches, the system beeped. “It's safe to cross over now. Analyzing the garden terrain.” The system seemed to have gone back to its professional good old self, running like the efficient machine it should be, instead of a lazy, mischievous, sassy, childish chatterbox. “Garden terrain analyzed.” The moment the system finished speaking, a 3D simulation appeared before him, and he could see the plants, traps, and yellow zones clearly. “As you might have already guessed, the red zones are traps and danger zones.” Alvin frowned, his eyes zeroing on a spot at the deeper parts with a huge block of red. “Is that the chemical pool?” “N
