Your son-in-law is here

Chapter 1800: Questioning

Xie Su's face was as gloomy as water and he said nothing.

Mo Yuan thought for a moment and said, "The three points Yun Chen mentioned are also the ones I currently question, and I have one more point."

"That was before the Time Tribulation Ruins appeared 120 years ago. Xie Su was considered the most active of all the Ninth Rank Grandmasters. He often appeared in the martial arts world, leaving the world with the image of a relaxed and at ease master. But after the ruins, Xie Su spent more time in seclusion and cultivation."

"This change seemed innocuous at the time, but now it seems strange and a bit like an act of betrayal."

"It seems like I suddenly received an order to advance to the late ninth rank before my true energy recovers, so I started working hard."

"In fact, if anyone can be promoted to the ninth-grade master before the recovery of true qi, Xie Su is indeed the one with the highest probability."

Feng Daozi said: "We need specific examples to support this."

Yun Chen said without hesitation: "Xie Su defeated a sixth-grade early stage cultivator when he was at the fifth-grade great perfection. That sixth-grade early stage cultivator was none other than the number one genius of the previous generation of the Wu Pavilion, and was also the chief disciple of the Wu Pavilion headquarters at that time."

"At the time, both of them were key training targets at the Wu Pavilion. It was originally just a simple sparring match, but Xie Su took it seriously, using ruthless tactics and severely injuring the chief disciple."

"This caused the chief disciple's foundation to be damaged, and his talent to be affected. Since then, most of the Wu Pavilion's resources have fallen on Xie Su. You know, the chief disciple is considered Xie Su's senior brother and usually takes good care of Xie Su."

"But he still showed no mercy."

"From this, it's clear that Xie Su is very selfish and willing to do anything to get more resources."

Mo Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Evil forces like the Wu Pavilion and the Myriad Beasts Valley Supernatural Society often secretly collaborate to deal with decent forces like the official Qi Mansion."

"Xie Su couldn't have been unaware of this, but he chose to acquiesce. Some of it was even secretly directed by him."

"Because cooperating with the Myriad Beasts Valley Supernatural Power Association is in the interests of Wu Pavilion and in the interests of Xie Su himself."

The two then cited several real examples to prove that Xie Su was indeed a person who would do anything to achieve his goals, which fits the portrayal of a traitor.

After listening to this, Feng Daozi looked at Xie Su and said, "Do you have anything to defend yourself against?"

Xie Su frowned and said, "It's not my fault that I'm gifted. I'm just showing my talent normally."

"Besides, more than three months ago, Senior Feng and that traitor were the only ones in the entire martial arts world who knew about the traitor. If we go back a bit further, it seems that only the traitor knew about this. Could it be that the traitor didn't know that the direction you were going to take would be a gifted one?"

"Would a traitor be so foolish as to reveal his talent? As you just said, even a first-rank Grandmaster can hide his strength, so why can't a traitor hide his strength?"

"I don't think we should start with talent. As I said, the traitor has the initiative and can hide his strength. Starting with talent is inaccurate."

"Of course, if we must start from this aspect, we shouldn't look for the person with the highest talent, but rather those whose talent has been stable. We should eliminate these people as suspects first."

"After all, traitors need to hide their strength and talents, and their talents may suddenly decrease or increase. Other normal people don't need this, so someone like me who has been the number one genius in the martial arts world for hundreds of years can be eliminated as a suspect first."

Yun Chen whispered, "You're right. Traitors can choose to hide their strength, but they can also choose not to hide it."

"So you can't judge someone as a traitor solely based on their talent. Our suspicions about you extend beyond just your talent."

"Thank you, Pavilion Master Su, for not avoiding the important issues."

Xie Su frowned, and finally took a deep breath and said, "What Wu Ge has done in recent years is indeed a bit arrogant, because Wu Ge has been the number one in the martial arts world for too long."

"It's inevitable that some arrogance and impatience will arise among the upper and lower classes."

"It was my fault that I didn't care, but that doesn't make me a traitor. It's two completely different things."

"As for cooperating with evil forces, it's not a big problem. If it weren't for the existence of the Netherworld, our Wu Pavilion would be able to destroy these four evil forces, the two valleys and the two associations, with a single move."

"Even with Ninth-Rank Grandmaster Youming, our Wu Pavilion can unilaterally suppress the four major evil forces. The so-called evil forces are completely within our control."

“Working with them is just taking advantage of them.”

"Finally, regarding my character, you're using this to question me. It's truly unreasonable, even ridiculous. Cultivation is inherently about going against the will of Heaven and confronting others."

"If there were 100 million opportunities in the world, then if they were distributed evenly to each person, less than one tenth of one would be available. Right now, the majority of ordinary people don't get any opportunities. A regular first-rank Grandmaster might get a hundred, while ninth-rank Grandmasters like you and me will get over a million opportunities. Where do these millions of opportunities come from?"

"There's no such thing as a free lunch or a chance."

"Of course I fought with others for it!"

"If you weren't selfish, you wouldn't be able to become a Ninth Rank Grandmaster. By becoming a Ninth Rank Grandmaster, you've at least robbed millions of people of their opportunities. So who wouldn't be selfish?"

"You can say I'm selfish, but that has nothing to do with whether I'm a traitor or not."

"A traitor may indeed be a selfish person, but he may also be a gentleman with a high-sounding reputation!"

"The initiative lies with the traitor!"

"As for the point that Hall Master Mo Yuan doubted, it's also very simple."

As Xie Su spoke, a light flashed in his hand, and a pale bone that looked like a weaving shuttle appeared in his hand.

Countless transparent silk threads are wrapped around this bone-like shuttle, like the tentacles of a jellyfish.

"Shuttle of Destiny, this thing is actually in your hands?!" Feng Daozi's voice suddenly sounded with a hint of surprise.

His usually calm face suddenly showed unusual emotions when he saw this thing, which was extremely rare.

Xie Su said, "The treasure I got from the Ruins of Time Tribulation can control the slowing down of time. Using it can improve my cultivation efficiency, so I started to practice in seclusion."

"I want to push the limit."

"Before I obtained this treasure, the reason why I appeared more frequently in the martial arts world than other ninth-grade masters was because it was also a part of my cultivation."

"I have stayed in the early stage of the Ninth Rank for too long. Showing up is also a different kind of experience for me."

"Twenty-five years after obtaining this Destiny Shuttle, I was promoted to the middle stage of the Ninth Rank, proving that it was indeed very helpful to my cultivation. This has further increased my enthusiasm for cultivation."

"But ninety-five years have passed, and I'm still in the middle stage of the ninth rank, with no end in sight for the late stage. The help that this resurgence of true energy has provided me is also very limited."

Yun Chen said seriously, "That's just your explanation. It's possible that ninety or even eighty years after you were promoted to the middle stage of the ninth rank, you successfully advanced to the late stage of the ninth rank."

Xie Su snorted coldly: "If that were true, the martial arts world wouldn't have been peaceful for decades before the revival of true qi."

"Our Wu Pavilion will definitely take action."
