My Two-sided Cultivation: Starting From Collecting Experiences

80 Look, I’m Innocent

Sun Ziyao had forgotten that when Li Bowu and Senior Brother Qin ‘competed’ for the position of master’s personal disciple, there seemed to be a little enmity.

“I’m just trying to prove Senior Brother Qin’s innocence!” Li Bowu showed an aggrieved look. “Besides, you’re the one who made me say this.”

“I think what Li Bowu said is worth a try.” Bai Yusheng sneered, not even looking at Li Bowu.

Qi Yangbing’s face darkened. “Now that I suspect you’re a Sacred Heart believer, are you going to throw your stomach out and cut it open to see how it looks?”

Bai Yusheng immediately retorted, “I’m the young master of the Thunderbolt Dojo! Even if I don’t cultivate, I still have some glory and wealth. Why would I fall into the Sacred Heart sect? Eating people all day and living a life of fear?”

He continued to attack, “Besides, my talent is already known in more than half of Pingnan City when I was born. I’ve been working hard and steadily all these years.

“I didn’t expect such a genius like Qin Huai to suddenly enter the eight major martial arts centers and advance so quickly…” Bai Yusheng strolled over to Qi Yangbing and said firmly, “Tell me, is such a person worthy of suspicion?”

Li Bowu pointed at Bai Yusheng excitedly and opened his mouth as if he wanted to refute. However, it opened and closed dozens of times. Its movements were quite exaggerated and eye-catching. Clearly, he could not say a single word.

The other disciples of the Changshan Dojo felt their hearts sink. After thinking about it carefully, Qin Huai was indeed the most suspicious.

“And I remember that Qin Huai became famous because he massacred the Blackhawk gang, right?” Bai Yusheng added. “At that time, we thought he was doing this to get rid of evil for the people, but if we consider it with the identity of the Sacred Heart sect, wouldn’t it…”

He was stirring the pot further. As long as someone deliberately guided things in a certain direction, they could completely turn one thing into another.

At least for now, in the eyes of many people present, Qin Huai had already become a Sacred Heart believer who ate people without blinking an eye.

Li Bowu felt the strong suspicion and uneasiness around him. His blood seemed to be excited. His stomach was growling, and he couldn’t wait to eat.

He looked at Qin Huai expectantly, hoping to see anger, grievance, and powerlessness on the latter’s face to comfort his stomach temporarily.

But…

Qin Huai’s gaze seemed a little strange.

“You just said that we only need to cut the stomach open. Can you prove that you’ve eaten human beings by checking if the inside is green?” Qin Huai’s voice was calm.

“Of course. I heard it from a friend from Lingjiang county,” Li Bowu emphasized again.

Making friends in Lingjiang county was naturally a non-existent matter, but what he said about the color of the stomach was the truth. It was actually that lord who had told him.

“Senior Brother Qin! Don’t listen to Li Bowu’s nonsense!” Sun Ziyao shouted. “This person is petty. He’s just trying to take revenge for you snatching his position as personal disciple. That friend of his from Lingjiang county is definitely made up, and so are his words.”

Qin Huai just stared at Li Bowu. “How will you prove this? What if it’s fake?”

Li Bowu chuckled. “You can send someone to Lingjiang county to investigate. I believe there must be a record of this. If you can’t find anything in Jiang County, then ask the city above. It’s just a matter of time.”

Then, Li Bowu’s expression suddenly changed. “Senior Brother Qin, don’t misunderstand. I definitely don’t mean to force you. I was just being frank just now. I’m actually anxious for your innocence.”

“Junior Brother Qin, don’t mind them. We’ll slowly investigate this matter after we return.” Qi Yangbing finally spoke.

He walked in front of Qin Huai, wanting to pull him away. However, even though he exerted all his strength, Qin Huai still stood there unmoving.

Bai Yusheng saw this and quickly added fuel to the fire. “Qin Huai, if you can’t prove your innocence today… or tomorrow, or the day after… the seven dojos and the city lord’s mansion might ask to prove your innocence!

“After all, the matter of the Sacred Heart sect’s disciples is no less than the tide of demons. It concerns the life and death of the entire city. If that really happens, you’ll drag the entire Changshan Dojo down with you!” His words were sharp as he pressed on.

“It seems that I have to prove my innocence today.” Qin Huai’s voice grew louder.

“Junior Brother Qin, don’t be rash!” Qi Yangbing roared, which was a rare sight.

Hu…

Qin Huai shook off Qi Yangbing’s hand.

Qi Yangbing was caught off guard and fell to the ground from the shocking force.

“Junior Brother Li, you’d better be telling the truth!”

“If there’s any lie, I’ll be struck by lightning!” Li Bowu’s voice was loud and clear, and his pronunciation was perfect. He really didn’t lie.

After that…

He saw Qin Huai suddenly disappear from where he was.

No, he was running at him! Didn’t he want to prove his innocence? What was the meaning of this? What was he doing?

Li Bowu didn’t react for a moment. However, that shocking killing intent had already caused his hair to stand on end.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Huai had already arrived in front of him.

‘So fast! How could he be so fast?!’

With a thought from Li Bowu, the four white dragons suddenly appeared.

“Four-dragon ring armor!”

His four-dragon ring armor was impregnable against a third refinement martial artist. No matter how crazy the enemy was, they couldn’t do anything to him.

Bang! Bang!

Li Bowu seemed to hear the sound of something breaking.

In his pupils, Qin Huai’s body suddenly expanded. Terrifying muscles occupied his eyes, and there was a white python on Qin Huai’s body that looked like it had crawled out of hell to kill him.

Hu Hu Hu…

Li Bowu took a deep breath and looked at his heart that had been punched through. Then, he raised his head stiffly and trembled.

He looked at that calm face, confused and at a loss. “You… What are you doing…” This feeling lingered in Li Bowu’s heart.

“I’m trying to prove my innocence.” Qin Huai slowly pulled out his hand. He grabbed the broken part of Li Bowu’s heart and exerted a little force.

Li Bowu’s chest was now completely torn apart. Then, Qin Huai grabbed the stomach out of the blood, lifting it up high.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, it was cut open by Qin Huai’s hand knife. What they saw next was the eye-piercing green-stained stomach that seemed to be still beating.

Qin Huai looked around and said nonchalantly, “Look, I’m innocent.”
