Chapter 260 The target of public criticism
Standing in the center of the martial arts field, facing the questions and accusations coming from all directions, the bustling noise was like ten thousand flies surrounding your ears, endless and endless.

At this moment, Liu Xunyi felt overwhelmed. He had neither the energy nor the desire to argue.

Although Lin Fangda and others felt sympathy for this, they could only do nothing and sigh due to the current situation and their respective identities.

"Liu Xunyi, what are your intentions?"

"You suddenly jumped out, talking nonsense, what exactly do you want to do?"

"You said that there was another traitor behind the incident in Chenzhou, but why haven't you produced any solid evidence yet?"

……

Chaotic and noisy voices of doubt came one after another, leaving Liu Xunyi at a loss as to who to explain to.

"Quiet!"

Amid the noise, Teng Sanshi's loud roar, like a thunderclap in a clear sky, suddenly rang out, and the noisy scene suddenly became quiet.

Teng Sanshi stared at Liu Xunyi with his piercing tiger eyes, and said loudly: "Little brother, I believe that you have no ill intentions. Now I will give you another chance to explain everything clearly."

"I……"

"But!" Before Liu Xunyi could thank him, Teng Sanshi suddenly changed the subject and said in a bad tone, "Everything you say must be based on evidence. You can't just make up stories out of thin air! Those present today are all big names in the martial arts world. We won't tolerate a junior like you being so reckless and playful!"

"Yes……"

Although Teng Sanshi's words were extremely impolite, they were well-founded and Liu Xunyi had no way to refute them.

"Let me ask you, you said that the incident in Chenzhou was instigated by a traitor, who was that traitor?" Teng Sanshi said seriously, "Why did he instigate it?"

"This……"

When the words came to his lips, Liu Xunyi swallowed them back.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to say it, but that he doesn’t dare to say it!
Looking around the Qin family martial arts arena, there were thousands of people, good and bad mixed together. Among them, seven or eight out of ten were people Liu Xunyi had never heard of or seen before, so how could he trust them?

What if there were Mongolian spies among the people present, and Liu Xunyi spoke carelessly, wouldn’t he be pushing Luo Ningyu into the fire pit?

At this moment, the eyes of others were curious and suspicious, but the people in Prince Xian’s Mansion were nervous and terrified.

Luo Tianjin and others are well aware of the pros and cons of this matter. Liu Xunyi's answer now will directly determine Luo Ningyu's life or death. How can they not be nervous?
Liu Xunyi's indecision and Luo Tianjin's moodiness seemed to make the meticulous Jin Fuyu see a clue, and a cunning look flashed in his eyes.

However, Jin Fuyu pretended to be confused and asked curiously, "Brother Liu, this matter concerns the harmony of the various sects in the Central Plains martial arts world. It is a serious matter and cannot be hastily concluded. Therefore, in order to avoid an innocent fight being used by others, I allow you to speak out what you have heard. Even if there is no solid evidence, you can speak frankly."

"That's right!" Xuan Ming nodded and said, "God is merciful. If the incident in Chenzhou was indeed instigated by someone in secret, then the feud between Shaolin and the Qin family... maybe someone is using someone else's knife to kill someone. If there really is someone stirring up trouble in the Central Plains martial arts world and making trouble, how can we know our mistakes and not correct them, and kill each other?"

"Master Xuanming's words are quite fair." Qin Da echoed sarcastically.

Qin Tianjiu looked directly at Liu Xunyi and urged, "Who is the traitor? Tell me now!"

For a moment, everyone's eyes were once again focused on Liu Xunyi, with different expressions, mixed with belief and doubt.

At this moment, Liu Xunyi felt as if he was carrying a heavy burden, which made him almost unable to breathe. Unconsciously, he was sweating profusely, soaking his whole body.

"Liu Xunyi, please tell me!" Miao An said impatiently, "Is there really such a traitor? Is this another lie you made up out of thin air?"

"true……"

Liu Xunyi clenched his fists and spoke slowly through gritted teeth, "During this period, someone has indeed been secretly plotting, with the goal of inciting the various martial arts sects to kill each other, ultimately causing chaos in the Central Plains."

At this moment, the hearts of Luo Hongxuan, Lin Fangda and others were in their throats. As long as Liu Xunyi said one more word, the 'culprit' would be exposed.

"Everyone!"

Liu Xunyi straightened his expression, looked around sincerely, and said, "We are all upright people, how can we be used by traitors? In fact, the death of the eleven Shaolin monks was not caused by the Qin family. The incident in Chenzhou was not the fault of anyone present. We were all framed. As for today's "grudge", it was a trick of the traitors. We..."

"Liu Xunyi!"

Before Liu Xunyi finished speaking, Tang Yuan waved his hand and said bluntly: "You only need to tell us the name of the traitor now. Don't say anything else. We are not interested in listening."

"That's right! Just tell me straight! Who exactly is the 'traitor'?"

"Tell me now! Tell me now! Stop keeping me in suspense!"

In a moment, the calm martial arts field became boiling again.

Xuanming raised his staff high, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then turned to Liu Xunyi and asked, "Donor Liu, now that things have come to this, why are you still talking about other things? Why don't you just speak frankly? What do you know?"

"I..." Liu Xunyi hesitated for a long time before he bowed and said, "Please forgive me, Master. I... do have something to hide. There are some things... I really can't say..."

"Can't say it? Or don't want to say it? Or... there is nothing to say at all!" Qin Ming scolded, "Liu Xunyi, is this another story you made up?"

"Definitely not!"

"If not, why are you evading responsibility?" Lu Tingxiang narrowed his eyes slightly and asked meaningfully, "Could it be that... there is some unspeakable secret between you and this 'traitor'? Or... you are this 'traitor'?"

As soon as these words were spoken, a hint of suspicion suddenly appeared in Bai Shuang's eyes.

Obviously, in Bai Shuang's heart, Lu Tingxiang's few words carry much more weight than Liu Xunyi's thousands of words.

"I..." "Those who say Liu Xunyi is a 'traitor', don't they have brains?" Zhong Limu sneered, "If he was a traitor, why would he stand up and ask for trouble?"

"Master Zhongli, please be careful with your words!"

Seeing Zhongli Mu mocking Lu Tingxiang in public, Sikong Zhu's face suddenly darkened, and he said in a cold voice: "This may be Liu Xunyi's trick. As the saying goes, 'too clever is foolish', maybe it refers to a smart person like Master Zhongli?"

"Asshole!" Kongtong disciple Zhou Mu shouted angrily, "It is not your turn to judge whether our master is smart or not!"

"you……"

"enough!"

Before the Lu family disciples could say anything, Teng Sanshi's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he stopped everyone from whispering. He glared at Liu Xunyi and said in a deep voice, "If you want to speak, then speak. If you don't want to speak, then get out! You hesitated several times, what's your intention?"

"I……"

In desperation, Liu Xunyi cast a pleading look at Luo Tianjin, but saw Luo Tianjin staring at him expressionlessly.

At this moment, Luo Tianjin's gaze, as silent as stagnant water, made Liu Xunyi feel depressed.

As for Lin Fangda, Tang Cong and others, they stared at Liu Xunyi with nervous expressions and shook their heads slightly at him.

They are concerned about Luo Ningyu's safety, and so is Liu Xunyi.
"Do you know?" Jin Fuyu asked suspiciously, "If you know, tell me now!"

"This……"

Liu Xunyi struggled violently in his heart and hesitated again and again. Qin Wei, the Prime Minister, Zhao Yuan, Zhao Xin and others flashed repeatedly in his mind. Then, Luo Ningyu, Luo Tianjin, Lin Fangda, Xunzhen, Long Yu and others suddenly appeared in his mind as if in another lifetime. He was overwhelmed with worries and mixed feelings.

"Liu Xunyi!" Yin Baimei suddenly shouted, "Don't delay any more. Do you know what I mean?"

Hearing this, Liu Xunyi's body trembled involuntarily, and then his eyes dimmed. He instantly became wilted like a deflated ball.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Liu Xunyi's lips and teeth kept trembling, sweating profusely, and his face turned gray. After hesitating for a long time, he said weakly, "I... don't know..."

"Wow!"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

On the other hand, everyone in Prince Xian's Mansion secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"This..." Teng Sanshi looked at the dumbfounded Liu Xunyi with astonishment, and asked in disbelief, "You don't know? Then were you just...playing a trick on us?"

"I don't dare! I... I was just speculating..."

Liu Xunyi's mind went blank, his heart was in a mess, and he could only speak incoherently: "There is something fishy, ​​so I don't want to watch...watch us Han people kill each other and destroy ourselves, so I hope you seniors will put the overall situation first..."

"Bastard!"

Zuo Hongxuan shouted angrily and said in a cold voice: "You have been making a fuss like a clown for a long time, but in fact it is all just random speculation without any real evidence, right or wrong?"

Facing Zuo Hongxuan's questioning, Liu Xunyi's heart was "bleeding". But he was powerless to refute, and could only nod and respond: "I am speculating, but..."

"enough!"

Jin Fuyu's tone sank, as if he didn't intend to give Liu Xunyi another chance to explain. He turned his sharp eyes to Luo Tianjin and asked calmly, "Lord Luo, this man's words are inconsistent, he is spreading rumors and misleading people, he is harboring evil intentions, he is deceiving people, and he treats the heroes of our martial arts world as fools and fools, he plays with them at will, and he has no respect for the superiors and the inferiors. May I ask... what crime should he be punished for?"

"This……"

Jin Fu Yu suddenly launched an attack and even brought in other martial arts heroes to accuse Liu Xunyi of harboring evil intentions and having no regard for hierarchy, which surprised Lin Fangda and the others.

"That's right!" Sikong Zhu said coldly, "Liu Xunyi's words are absurd, his behavior is weird, and he made up many excuses. He really has ulterior motives."

"Lord Luo, he is from your Xianwang Mansion, and should be handed over to you for disposal." Tang Yuan said with a smile, "How about you give everyone an explanation today?"

Sikong Zhu and Tang Yuan, as if they had discussed it with Jin Fu Yu beforehand, sang in unison and had a tacit understanding.

At this time, the leaders of the six major sects also had some grudges against Liu Xunyi, so no one spoke up to help him out.

It seemed that Liu Xunyi's vague words and empty talk ultimately failed to win the understanding and gratitude of the martial arts heroes. Instead, he brought about unexpected disasters and even death.

Everything was just as Luo Tianjin said last night. Liu Xunyi thought that he could convince everyone and turn the tide with his impassioned speech based on national justice. In fact, he still didn't quite understand what the treacherous world was? And he didn't understand what the human heart was?

Under the instigation of everyone, Luo Tianjin had no choice but to come out in person. He looked straight at Liu Xunyi and met her eyes, with a touch of indifference in his eyes that made Liu Xunyi's heart tremble and tremble.

"Palace Master, you must save Xunyi. He has become the target of public criticism. If you don't save him, I'm afraid he will have trouble escaping..."

"Palace Master, Liu Xunyi has already incurred public anger, you must not bring disaster upon yourself..."

Lin Fangda and Huang Yulang each held their own views and argued endlessly, but Luo Tianjin turned a deaf ear to them and simply waved his hand to interrupt their advice.

"Everyone!"

Under everyone's suspicious and nervous gaze, Luo Tianjin finally spoke slowly. He pointed at Liu Xunyi, whose face was complicated, with a serious expression and cold eyes, and spoke loudly and sonorously.

"From the moment he disobeyed my order and stepped forward without authorization, Liu Xunyi is no longer a member of our Xianwang Mansion. Therefore, all his words and deeds just now have nothing to do with our Xianwang Mansion. As for whether he is spreading rumors to confuse the public? Does he have ulterior motives? Even how to deal with him? All of this is up to you to decide. Luo, I will never interfere!"
