Chapter 6 Chapter 6: The Ancestor's Compensation, Events Three Years Ago

The sudden arrival of Patriarch Tianyang surprised the clan leader and others. But then they thought, since it was related to Meng Chen, how could the ancestor just stand idly by?

Meng Chen bowed respectfully to Patriarch Tianyang and asked, "Ancestor, why did you come out of seclusion?"

"If I don't come out of seclusion now, I'm afraid this law enforcement hall will be demolished by a monkey like you."

Patriarch Tianyang looked helpless. Although he was blaming Meng Chen, there was a hint of kindness in his eyes when he looked at Meng Chen.

After hearing what the ancestor said, Meng Chen smiled awkwardly.

Although he dared to be extremely arrogant in front of the sect master, he was still very well-behaved in front of the Tianyang Patriarch who treated him like his own grandson.

Patriarch Tianyang looked around the Law Enforcement Hall, and his turbid eyes swept over everyone present, causing Zhou Xuyang, Shangguan Hongyu and others to feel nervous inside. They lowered their heads like children, waiting for the ancestor's lecture.

"I have been watching from outside for a long time, Xuyang, you are not qualified to be the sect leader. You held a trial meeting without much investigation, allowing a Qi training ant to slander a Yuanying Tianjun, making such a big joke. If outsiders knew about it, my Qianyuan Sect would lose all its face!"

At the end, Patriarch Tianyang's words became heavier and heavier, with a hint of anger in them.

Hearing this, Zhou Xuyang hurriedly asked the old ancestor to calm down.

"Grandmaster, please calm down. I don't believe that Qing Xiao Jun would steal treasures and kill people, but that disciple has the video, and we have verified it. It doesn't seem to be fake, so I hesitated. I hope you will forgive me."

Patriarch Tianyang snorted lightly, ignored Zhou Xuyang, and turned to look at Gu Qingshuang.

Feeling the old ancestor's gaze, Gu Qingshuang bowed his head and admitted his mistake, saying:
"Uncle, today's incident was my fault. I was deceived by that disciple and mistakenly believed that Meng Chen had stolen treasures and killed people. I almost caused him to suffer an unjustifiable crime and become alienated from the Qianyuan Sect. Qingshuang was wrong and I am willing to be punished."

Patriarch Tianyang’s real name is “Gu Tianyang”, and Gu Qingshuang is the descendant of his eldest brother’s lineage.

It was for this reason that he handed Meng Chen over to Gu Qingshuang's care, allowing him to become her disciple and practice with her.

Looking at Gu Qingshuang who took the initiative to admit his mistake, Patriarch Tianyang sighed. After all, she was one of his own family, so it was not appropriate to blame her too much.

But he would not just let it go like that. After all, Meng Chen had also been wronged and needed comfort.

Patriarch Tianyang said calmly: "Shuangxuan, since you are willing to be punished, then do as Xiaochen said, seal your cultivation, and go to Qingxiao Peak to face the wall and reflect on your mistakes for a year."

When Gu Qingshuang heard this, her expression suddenly changed, and she said in a hurry: "Uncle, any other punishment is fine, but I cannot accept this one. Please forgive me, uncle."

"I have made up my mind. If you don't want to, I will personally ban your cultivation and throw you to Qingxiao Peak."

Unexpectedly, Patriarch Tianyang took a tough stance and directly rejected Gu Qingshuang, which made her feel gloomy in her heart. She fell down on the cold jade cushion, and the ice jade whisk in her hand rolled to the ground.

When Gu Qingshuang thought about having her cultivation restricted and having to stay at Qingxiao Peak for a year, scenes from three years ago emerged in her mind, and her plump body trembled slightly.

Patriarch Tianyang waved his hand, and the Xiantian Xuanpin Pearl flew into his hand. He looked at Zhou Xuyang again and said:
"Since today's incident was caused by this Xiantian Xuanpin Pearl, and Xiaochen's grievances were also caused by this Xiantian Xuanpin Pearl, I will give this thing to Xiaochen as compensation. Do you have any objections?"

"We have no objection."

Zhou Xuyang, Shangguan Hongyu and other sect leaders shook their heads. How could they dare to raise any objections?

Patriarch Tianyang nodded with satisfaction, and then handed the Xiantian Xuanpin Pearl to Meng Chen, asking him to accept it.

Since it was compensation, how could Meng Chen refuse it? He quickly put it into his storage ring.

"It's over. I will go back to continue my retreat. Shuangxuan, follow your uncle. Your uncle has something to say to you."

Patriarch Tianyang did not stay long. Before leaving, he gave some instructions to Gu Qingshuang. Gu Qingshuang stood up in a daze and left the Law Enforcement Hall with his uncle.

When everyone saw the ancestor leave like this, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't lose his temper, otherwise they would be in trouble.

As the only one in Qianyuan Sect and even in Tiannan Province who has reached the late stage of transformation, Lord Tianyang has earned his reputation step by step.

It is because of these years of seclusion, self-cultivation and temper that my temper has improved.

If it had been in the past, they would probably have been beaten and had to lie down before leaving.

Meng Chen didn't want to stay in the Law Enforcement Hall any longer, so he said to Zhou Xuyang, "Sect Master, if there's nothing else, I'll go back to Qingxiao Peak first." "Well, Xiaochen, I'm sorry to have troubled you this time. You just broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, so take this bottle of Jade Soul Solidifying Pill."

Zhou Xuyang took out a bottle of Jade Soul Strengthening Infant Pill which could strengthen the Nascent Soul and sent it to Meng Chen through the air.

After taking the pill, Meng Chen bowed slightly, and purple lightning flashed around him, and he disappeared in the law enforcement hall.

Soon, the truth about the theft of treasure and murder spread throughout the Qianyuan Sect, not only clearing Meng Chen's name, but also raising his reputation to a higher level.

An eighteen-year-old Yuanying Tianjun is a unique existence, not only in Tiannan Province, but even in Cangxuan Territory!

Thousands of disciples of Qianyuan Sect were in an uproar. Some of the disciples who insulted Meng Chen were chased and scolded by Meng Chen's fans, forcing them to hide in the cave and not dare to go out.

…………

Yuanji Mountain, where Patriarch Tianyang practiced seclusion, is also the place with the most spiritual energy in Qianyuan Sect, standing in the center of the spiritual vein.

Patriarch Tianyang sat cross-legged, looked at Gu Qingshuang who was still a little dazed, and spoke slowly.

"Qingshuang, your uncle knows everything about what happened between you and Xiaochen."

This sentence was like a thunderclap in Gu Qingshuang's heart, making her sober instantly. Her pretty face turned pale, and she suppressed her inner fear and asked carefully:
"Uncle, what do you mean by this?"

Patriarch Tianyang: "There is no need to test my uncle. Three years ago, you were practicing the Taisu Xuanyin Zhenzhang and became possessed. I was the one who sent you to Xiaochen Cave Mansion."

"What!" Gu Qingshuang looked incredulous. She never expected that it was her own great-uncle who was behind this.

Patriarch Tianyang asked her to calm down and explained, "If I hadn't done that at that time, given your condition at that time, I'm afraid your spirit veins would have been broken, your Nascent Soul would have been destroyed, and you would have become a useless person, or even died."

"But how could you do that? Don't you know that I, I and..."

At the end of the conversation, Gu Qingshuang was unable to speak.

Patriarch Tianyang: "So what? Do you want to die? Don't forget, you haven't avenged your parents and relatives yet."

When talking about the revenge for his parents, Gu Qingshuang thought of their tragic deaths, and the shame and anger in his heart were replaced by a overwhelming hatred.

Looking at Gu Qingshuang with hatred on her face, Patriarch Tianyang sighed softly, with a hint of heartache in his eyes.

Gu Qingshuang was the only descendant of his eldest brother. When she was seven years old, the Gu family far away in Heyunzhou was brutally wiped out, and she was sent to Qianyuan Sect by Gu Tianyang's eldest brother at the risk of her life.

Having witnessed the tragic deaths of her parents and the annihilation of her relatives, she was obsessed with revenge and took the risk of practicing the Tai Su Xuan Yin Zhen Zhang, successfully forming a fetus within just a hundred years.

However, Qianyuan Sect's Taisu Xuanyin Zhenzhang is an incomplete version, and cultivating to the Nascent Soul stage is already the limit. Unless the Zhenzhang is completed, or the power is dispersed and cultivated again, there is no possibility of further progress.

Three years ago, Gu Qingshuang tried to reach the middle stage of Nascent Soul, but her skills went against her will and her Taiyin true essence was in turmoil, putting her in imminent danger.

If Patriarch Tianyang had not thrown her into Meng Chen's cave, prompting the two of them to practice dual cultivation and providing an outlet for the turbulent Taiyin true essence, otherwise, Gu Qingshuang would have been either completely destroyed or died on the spot.

After practicing dual cultivation, Gu Qingshuang turned a disaster into a blessing and broke through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul, while Meng Chen also leaped from the middle stage of Golden Core to the Great Perfection of Golden Core.

However, because of this incident, Gu Qingshuang's attitude towards Meng Chen changed drastically, and she even expelled him from Shuangxuan Peak.

Patriarch Tianyang continued to persuade: "Qingshuang, you know who the group that destroyed the Gu family is. Even your uncle can't match them. If you want revenge, you can only rely on Xiaochen. With his talent, it won't take many years for him to reach the top of the world."

"So, instead of being angry with Xiaochen and hating him, you might as well try to accept him. After all, you watched him grow up and you know him well."

Gu Qingshuang fell silent after hearing this.

After a moment, she seemed to have figured it out. She stood up from the mat, looked at her great-uncle, bowed and said:

"Uncle, Qingshuang understands."
