90: Oh no, the saintess has gone mad. This is... an unreasonable request.

"Indeed, Young Master Cao is worthy of being the Heaven-Chosen Holy Master of White Deer Academy."

Master Mieling praised repeatedly:

"I never imagined that the Founding Emperor of the Li Clan was so deranged. Now that Young Master has awakened the Yin Demon and guided her back to the Righteous Path, it counts as removing a pair of claws from that Devil Head, while simultaneously adding a great general to our Righteous Path."

"This action by Young Master truly accumulates boundless Karma!"

Watching her own Elder praise the hateful Thief Cao to the heavens, Xu Fenghua's pretty face flushed crimson with anger.

Finally, she could tolerate it no longer!

"Thief Cao, you are shameless! I'll kill you!"

*Clang!*

The spirit sword was drawn again.

"Fenghua, what are you doing!" Master Mieling was greatly alarmed. Her figure flashed, and she used two fingers to clamp down on her long sword.

"Junior Martial Uncle, you have been deceived by this Thief Cao! Things are not at all as he described."

Xu Fenghua said through gritted teeth: "The Restriction on the Li Clan Sword Tomb was fundamentally destroyed by this Thief Cao! The nearly one thousand spirit swords from the Li Clan Sword Tomb are in his handsI saw this with my own eyes. If you don't believe me, Revered Mistress, ask him! Furthermore, this Thief Cao is shamelessly dragging out the Founding Emperor of the Li Clan, a person who died over a thousand years ago, just to make a point!"

Although Xu Fenghua spoke with genuine emotion, Master Mieling grew increasingly speechless as she listened, and she interrupted her in a deep voice:

"Fenghua, you have truly disappointed Junior Martial Uncle too much... As the Potalaka Saintess, you should be eliminating demons and defending the Dao, yet now your eyes have been blinded by that little demonic brat Xu Tian..."

"What? I..."

Xu Fenghua was practically on the verge of tears.

What kind of bewitching potion did this Thief Cao pour down Junior Martial Uncle's throat?

"Um, Junior Sister Xu, the Founding Emperor of the Li Clan is indeed not dead," Fairy Xue Yue, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but say. "Several hours ago, a great fiend and giant demon appeared outside the Great Zhou Holy Capital. When my fellow Senior Brothers and I went to investigate, we happened to encounter the Li Clan First Emperor Li Er."

"What?" Xu Fenghua was stunned... Fairy Xue Yue continued: "Furthermore, at that time, Xu Tian and Yang Mo Li Dongjun were also beside Li Second. Unfortunately, the Founding Emperor of the Li Clan's Demonic Technique was bizarre, and he managed to escape from our Azure Cloud Immortal Slaying seven swords formation."

Xu Fenghua was dumbfounded, shaking her head repeatedly: "This is impossible. How could Xu Tian be involved with the Founding Emperor of the Li Clan? This is impossible..."

As Xu Fenghua spoke, her Phoenix eyes narrowed, and she gritted her teeth, saying: "Even so, that doesn't prove that this Thief Cao has no connection to the Crimson Flame Ancient Demon! It is still a fact that he stole hundreds of spirit swords from the Li Clan Sword Tomb! Moreover, he has a Female Demon Head beside him. I witnessed all of this personally."

"Fenghua, you truly are..." Master Mieling shook her head in deep disappointment.

How embarrassing.

Their own Saintess was making trouble out of nothing!

Wasn't this just nonsense?

"Junior Martial Uncle, everything I said is true! Why won't you believe me?" Xu Fenghua looked at Master Mieling, full of helplessness.

Master Mieling: "Fenghua, stop talking..."

Cao Meng quickly said: "Um, Revered Mistress, actually, a part of what the Saintess said is indeed true."

"Oh?" Master Mieling was slightly taken aback.

"Actually, the Li Clan Sword Tomb was indeed swept clean by me," Cao Meng said with a look of apology:

"The situation was urgent at the time, and I was forced into it. Revered Mistress knows that I possess the Blood Spirit Sacred Body. Those Li Clan remnants were precisely targeting my Blood Spirit Sacred Body, deliberately luring me into that Sword Tomb, attempting to use my blood to sacrifice to the Peerless God Ancient Sword..."

"Fortunately, I had the protective treasure bestowed by the White Deer Sacred Spirit, which prevented those little demonic brats of the Li family from succeeding..."

"At the crucial moment, I used the Sacred Spirit supreme treasure to collect the seven Peerless God Ancient Swords, and going one step further, I swept the entire Li Clan Sword Tomb clean..."

"Alas~ I didn't know Li Second's malicious plan at the time, nor did I know that Xu Tian was colluding with them and stole another suppression treasure. If I had known that the Sword Tomb grand formation was suppressing a treasure belonging to the Crimson Flame Ancient Demon, I would never have taken it..."

"It's all my fault! A single lapse in judgment led to a grave mistake, allowing fiends and demons to run rampant and poison all life..."

The more Cao Meng spoke, the more remorseful he sounded~

"Shameless! Silver-tongued!" Saintess Fenghua sneered repeatedly as she listened from the side, her teeth grinding, looking as if she wished she could bite this beast tens of thousands of times.

Too shameless.

Xu Fenghua's destiny value -100

destiny value +100

With one hundred destiny value credited, the remorse on Thief Cao's face deepened, as if he truly felt he had committed a heinous crime.

"So that's how it is."

After listening, Master Mieling comforted him gently: "Young Master need not blame himself. Those fiends and demons are inherently cunning. Moreover, taking the spirit swords for self-preservation was a normal reaction."

"Furthermore, Young Master Cao, by taking the spirit swords from the Sword Tomb, you have weakened the Devil Head's Luck."

"If those celestial swords had been snatched by the Devil Head, that would truly have been a calamity for the world!"

"Revered Mistress is right, Cao Meng does not need to blame himself." Fairy Xue Yue also nodded.

"The more Revered Mistress and Fairy say this, the more ashamed Cao Meng feels~" Cao Meng said, his face full of embarrassment, but inwardly he was overjoyed.

Blame himself?

What a joke.

Forget that this daddy truly didn't know there was a Devil Head suppressed below; even if he had known, he wouldn't have hesitated in the slightest to do it.

In this day and age, if you don't seize opportunities for yourself first, you'll just wait to have opportunities seized by others.

Master Mieling's gaze fell upon Xu Fenghua: "Your Highness Saintess, you have heard Young Master Cao's words. Do you still have any objections?"

"Heh heh heh, ha ha ha... Gě gě gě..." Her Highness Saintess laughed, tears streaming down her face, appearing frantic.

Sarcasm~

The truth was right in front of them, so why did no one believe her?

Heavens, are you blind?

"This~" Master Mieling was stunned.

It's over. Has our Saintess gone crazy?

"Fenghua, Fenghua, are you alright? Don't scare Junior Martial Uncle~" Master Mieling tremblingly raised her hand, wanting to help Xu Fenghua.

"Junior Martial Uncle, I'm fine!" After laughing, Xu Fenghua's expression sobered, and she pushed away Master Mieling's hand.

"I truly did misunderstand Cao Meng earlier."

Master Mieling cautiously said: "It's nothing. It's good that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, it's good that it has been cleared up. Young Master Cao is magnanimous and won't hold it against you."

Cao Meng also said with a chuckle: "Revered Mistress is right. It's a small matter, Saintess, you don't need to worry about it. We are all children of the Jianghu, sharing a deep friendship..."

"Senior Brother Cao! Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, can I leave now?" Xu Fenghua interrupted Cao Meng's words and gave him a triumphant smile.

You little rascal.

Didn't you just portray yourself as glorious and righteous? Surely you can't detain this Saintess any longer, right?

For a woman seeking revenge, ten years is not too late!

Sooner or later, there will be a day when I make you kneel before me and return everything you inflicted upon me!

Master Mieling: "Young Master Cao, rest assured. That little demonic brat Xu Tian was let go by my Sect Disciples. This humble nun guarantees you that I will personally kill this villain..."

"Revered Mistress, what are you saying?"

Cao Meng said with a chuckle:

"Letting Xu Tian escape was merely a pretext. The true purpose was only to keep the Saintess here to help her achieve the Awakening of the Divine Healing Body. How could I truly make things difficult for the Saintess of Putuo Holy Land over such a small matter?"

Master Mieling praised greatly: "Young Master is magnanimous!"

"However," Cao Meng said with a hint of apology:

"I have one more reluctant request..."

'This is bad~'

Xu Fenghua's heart sank. At this point, she had already developed a complex about the Thief Cao standing before her.
