75: Chapter 75 Don't force me to be ruthless in destroying flowers

"I killed the Senior Brother? What a joke, isn't the Senior Brother in seclusion to Cultivate?"

Hearing Mo Xiaoyu's words, Lin Shen's heart couldn't help but leap fiercely, and then he waved his hands with an innocent expression and hurriedly spoke.

He didn't expect Mo Xiaoyu to actually suspect him, which left him somewhat puzzled, only feeling that this woman's intuition was frighteningly accurate.

But even if beaten to death, he would never admit to this matter; after all, all the evidence had been destroyed by himself, and during this period of time, he also had proof of not being in Chiyun Valley. Relying solely on Mo Xiaoyu's intuition, it was completely impossible to pin down this matter.

Furthermore, if Mo Xiaoyu was certain that he had killed Shen Qianfan, then Mo Shenggu would probably have known long ago.

Having figured this matter out, Lin Shen instead was not so nervous anymore.

He only stood respectfully beside Mo Xiaoyu, as if Shen Qianfan's death had not the slightest bit to do with him.

"Are you sure? I am a person who hates others deceiving me the most!"

Mo Xiaoyu's gaze continued to closely stare at Lin Shen. Within her gaze that previously had not a shred of emotion, a trace of Evil Qi added, and the coercion of Foundation Establishment on her body also began to spread out.

"I am sure! Senior Sister, do not joke around. Revered Master already said that the Senior Brother is living very well. If the Senior Brother were to hear about this matter, he would think that you are cursing him."

Lin Shen smiled on the side, his tone extremely open and untroubled, as if he had never done any guilty deeds.

Right now, he was even more certain that the Mo Xiaoyu before him only had some suspicions.

As long as he stubbornly refused to admit it to the death, and since he had helped Mo Shenggu save face quite a bit, the Mo Xiaoyu before him would certainly not make a move against him without any evidence.

However, Mo Xiaoyu's questioning attitude made Lin Shen feel somewhat displeased in his heart.

If not for his insufficient cultivation, and if not for Mo Xiaoyu being Mo Shenggu's biological granddaughter, he would have slapped her to death long ago.

But even if she was Mo Shenggu's biological granddaughter, so what?

If this Mo Xiaoyu still kept tangling and refused to let go, when he broke through to Foundation Establishment another day, he would definitely completely eliminate this hidden trouble.

It would merely mean owing Mo Shenggu somewhat.

But for his own safety, all of this was worth it.

At worst, he would provide for Mo Shenggu's old age and send him off in the future.

Anyway, a granddaughter could provide for old age and send off, and a Disciple was the same; there was no difference whatsoever. With one Mo Xiaoyu dead, there was still himself to provide for Mo Shenggu's old age and send him off!

"Very well, I do not care whether the Senior Brother's death has anything to do with you or not. I hope you will never think about this matter again in the future, nor bring it up again. The Senior Brother is simply in seclusion!"

Seeing Lin Shen's open and untroubled response, Mo Xiaoyu nodded. The Evil Qi within her eyes quickly dissipated, and the coercion on her body was accordingly retracted.

Slowly standing up, Mo Xiaoyu walked toward the main entrance.

Before leaving, she turned her head back, staring straight at Lin Shen as she said: "Regarding this matter, Junior Brother Lin must not take offense, and do not bring it up again in the future, especially in front of my grandfather. Just consider that the Senior Brother is merely in seclusion. In the future, no matter who asks you, you must answer as firmly as you did today!"

As the words fell.

Without waiting for Lin Shen to reply, Mo Xiaoyu subsequently vanished within this courtyard.

In truth, Mo Xiaoyu's suspicion regarding Lin Shen in her heart had not dissipated even a little bit.

But the deceased were already gone, and the living still remained.

Even if she obtained the truth and knew that Lin Shen had killed Shen Qianfan, so what?

It was impossible for her to kill Lin Shen, right?

Shen Qianfan indeed had more than ten years of affection with her, but Lin Shen was likewise her grandfather's currently most beloved Disciple.

She did not want her grandfather Mo Shenggu to be put in a difficult position, and did not want Mo Shenggu to be saddened because of this.

Therefore, this matter should be concealed as much as possible. Her coming to this place today was merely to test out Lin Shen's attitude.

Seeing Lin Shen's such stubborn attitude, refusing to admit it to the death, regardless of whether Shen Qianfan's matter had anything to do with him or not, all of this was no longer important.

As long as Lin Shen maintained this attitude in the future, even if news of Shen Qianfan's demise spread out in the future, her grandfather would not perceive or discover that this matter had any relation to Lin Shen.

In this way, without so-called mutual slaughter among fellow Sect members, facing the news of Shen Qianfan's death, her grandfather's mood would undoubtedly feel a lot better.

...

"Senior Sister, oh Senior Sister, sometimes being too clever turns out not to be a good thing..."

"I hope this matter ends right here."

"If in the future you still secretly investigate me, or do things disadvantageous to me, then do not blame this Junior Brother of mine for being ruthless!"

Gazing in the direction where Mo Xiaoyu disappeared, Lin Shen couldn't help shaking his head, closed the room door, and activated the shielding Formation.

Just now, a trace of killing intent had already risen in his heart.

Shen Qianfan was indeed killed by him, and Mo Xiaoyu's suspicion was not wrong in any way.

But those who kill others will always be killed by others.

Since Shen Qianfan wanted to kill him, he naturally had long since brought about his own path to death.

Even if this matter were spoken out, the Sect would still lean more toward his side.

It was just that Lin Shen would definitely not admit it; after all, what Mo Shenggu guarded against the most was mutual slaughter among fellow Sect members. By then, he might cut off his resource supply, or even expel him from the Sect.

Once that happened, his losses would truly be great.

Without the identity of Mo Shenggu's Disciple, within the entire Chiyun Valley, he would merely be an ordinary Inner Sect Disciple, completely unable to enjoy any high-quality status and treatment.

Present-day Lin Shen only hoped that Mo Xiaoyu would not secretly investigate, and hoped that she could honestly, just as she stated, forget about this matter.

Otherwise, she really was forcing him to make a move.

"Let's ignore this Mo Xiaoyu for now; she should be a clever person, otherwise she wouldn't have come looking for me alone!"

"However, for the sake of safety, right now I cannot rashly contact Lin Feng and Lin He to gather information."

"As such, time cannot be retained; rather than that, it is better to take advantage of this dormant period of time to wholeheartedly Cultivate, consolidate the Foundation, and strengthen my heritage."

Withdrawing his gaze looking toward the distance, Lin Shen muttered to himself, turned around, and returned into the room.

Originally, he had planned that after returning to the courtyard, he would secretly contact Lin Feng, Lin He, and others, to understand the news they had investigated recently from their hands, and to find out about Qin Mang's movements.

But now having experienced the matter with Mo Xiaoyu, for the sake of caution and to rule out Mo Xiaoyu secretly observing him, Lin Shen still gave up on this plan.

He decided to first undergo closed-door Cultivation properly, refine all the Cultivation resources obtained from Mo Shenggu's hands, and strive to break through to Foundation Establishment as early as possible.

There were also the Cultivation resources within the Storage Pouches on Li Yifan, Muru Xue, and the others.

Previously, Lin Shen had calculated that with these massive resources, let alone breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, even after he broke through to Foundation Establishment, these Cultivation resources obtained from their Storage Pouches would be sufficient to support his Cultivation for a very long time.

Especially Li Yifan's Storage Pouch, which contained even more Cultivation resources, along with many precious Spirit Medicines.

In this way, he could completely carry out Dual Cultivation of spirit and body, striving to complete Foundation Establishment for both Spiritual Qi cultivation and Physical Body cultivation early on within five years.

By that time, the treasure-seeking compass would also have accumulated a large amount of moonlight Qi, and with both his Physical Body cultivation and Spiritual Qi cultivation breaking through to Foundation Establishment, he would definitely be able to obtain a monumental Opportunity from it that was sufficient to change the destiny of ordinary Cultivators.
