"As a principled scholar, you examine your integrity three times a day? Very elegant, I must say . But to be honest, I don't feel like you are a principled scholar at all," the young woman in white sneered .
Xu Que's face grew serious .
"Young lady, you should always mind your words . For a principled scholar like me, the most important thing is integrity! You can't possibly doubt my identity as a principled scholar!"
"You are going on about integrity with me?!" the young woman laughed .
The two old women standing next to her were silent . Their faces were covered by a veil, but Xu Que could tell that they were both emotionless .
"What I mean to say is that integrity is not something that one can chew upon," Xu Que said .
Buttface was shocked .
He is indeed a great actor! Where did he learn to act so well?!
"Well, I have to say that you have got a sharp tongue like every other principled scholar does . But you wanted to rob us . Because of this, I am positive that you are not a principled scholar! Tell me, who are you, and what have you got to do with the dead people here?" the young lady in white questioned .
Xu Que noticed that the two old women had secretly moved to block the road in front of them .
"This is the first time that I have ventured upon this land," Xu Que said calmly . "Just a moment ago, I saw smoke rising up into the sky, so I came here to see what was happening at the source of the smoke . I am not the one who has killed these people . "
"How can you prove you have nothing to do with this?" the young lady in white asked .
"I haven't any proof . But I am a principled scholar . I never lie!"
"Nonsense! I don't believe you are a principled scholar at all!" the young lady in white said, shaking her head .
"Then what can I do to make you believe I am telling the truth?" Xu Que asked .
Xu Que was searching for a good opportunity to run away with the help of his Devine Tracking Emblem . However, if he wasn't careful, the young lady in white would see through his plan and capture them before he had a chance to use his Divine Tracking Emblem .
The young lady in white thought for a short while before she voiced an idea .
"Since you keep saying you are a principled scholar, then you must be good at making poems! Why not prove it by making a poem based on the surrounding environment? If you manage to create a good poem, I will believe you are a principled scholar . "
"Poems are a piece of cake to me," Xu Que said with a smile as he looked around .
Xu Que took out a fan . The Divine Tracking Emblem was hidden on the other side of the fan . Xu Que gently waved the fan and gave a sudden shout .
"Grass!"
"What?!" the young lady exclaimed .
The two old women were surprised and were about to attack Xu Que .
"Calm down," Xu Que said frantically . "I was just reciting the title of the poem . "
Everyone was amazed .
The title of the poem?
I have never heard of a poem with the title "Grass"!
Why couldn't you create a normal title? It just sounded like you were cursing .
"Lush grass on the plains, in one year, withers and thrives once each . Wildfire does not burn it completely; when spring winds blow, it lives again . "
Hearing this, the young lady in white and the two old women were stunned .
It seems that this poem truly is about grass . It sprouts in the spring, lives through both the summer and the autumn, and in the winter, it withers . When is burnt by fire, it sprouts again during the next spring .
This forest has been burnt to ashes and there are countless bodies on the ground . After a while, new grass will sprout here . As for the dead people, there will be others who will visit this forest . Besides, while it's true that every minute someone dies, new babies come into the world at the same rate .
He has indeed made a good poem!
"It seems that you are a real principled scholar! What should I call you?" the young lady in white said with great interest .
Xu Que folded his fan and touched the Divine Tracking Emblem .
"My name is Li Bai, a member of the Exploding Heavens Faction!"
"My name is Li Bai, a member of the Exploding Heavens Faction!"
"The Exploding Heavens Faction? I have heard of this faction before somewhere," the young lady frowned . "Hmm… Hero Li . I don't care if you are a principled scholar or not . You still need to come with me! All the dead people here are the disciples of the Illusionary Flower and Moon Sect . They have all been ruthlessly killed . I have seen no one here but you and pet dog . If you and I had switched places, wouldn't you hold me accountable for this?"
"I already told you that I have nothing to do with this!" Xu Que shouted . "I just happened to be walking past here when you came! I have made a poem as you have asked . You have seen my handsome face . I have even told you my name! You still do not believe me?! If you capture me, I will f*ck you until you cry and ask me to stop!" Xu Que cursed .
Hearing this, the young lady and the two old women were stunned . They never thought this gentle young man standing in front of them would suddenly start to curse like a thug .
Even Buttface was shocked by Xu Que's words .
"Why are you in a daze?!" Xu Que shouted at Buttface . "We are leaving right now!"
Xu Que's fingertip began to shine . He then grabbed Buttface's collar and flew backward .
"Stop!" the women shouted in unison .
But it was too late . Xu Que and Buttface had completely vanished . It was as if they had never been there .
"Did he just use an Earth Shrinking Amulet? Impossible!" the two old women exclaimed together .
"That was no Earth Shrinking Amulet as far as I know," the young lady said, "but he might have used a magic incantation which is similar to the power of an Earth Shrinking Amulet . "
"So, what should we do?" said one of the old ladies .
"They couldn't have gone too far . You two go back to the Illusionary Flower and Moon Sect . Tell them to lock all the entrances of the ancient city and arrest that young man and his pet dog as soon as they are sighted . "
"They couldn't have gone too far . You two go back to the Illusionary Flower and Moon Sect . Tell them to lock all the entrances of the ancient city and arrest that young man and his pet dog as soon as they are sighted . "
"And where are you heading to?" the other old lady asked .
"I need to head to Tian Luo City to meet someone at the Bright Moon Hotel . "
…
As soon as the Xu Que and Buttface came to a stop, they found themselves hundreds of miles away from the burnt forest .
Xu Que knew that he did not stand a chance against the young lady and the two old women . Besides, he had not fully developed his Killer Sword and Killer Book yet . Thus, it would be foolish to confront people who were that powerful right now, although he was dying to do so . Instead, he used more than ten Divine Tracking Emblems to get away from that forest .
"We have been here less than an hour and we have already met three people at the Void Training Stage… It seems that I need to reach a higher level!" Xu Que said .
"Sh*t! Those three women are too bossy! If it were not for you dragging me away, I would definitely have killed them!" Buttface said .
"Nonsense! If it were not for me, you would already have been killed and they would have feasted on cooked dog tonight!"
"F*ck you! I am a wolf, not a dog!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Where we are now?"
"Tian Luo City!" Buttface shouted .
"How do you know?"
"It's written on the city gate!"
