I forgive you. I don't mind.

As soon as the voice was heard, everyone looked out to see a Young Master entering the hall with a fan in his hand and a smile on his face. Then he saluted Jiang Yebai on his seat and said respectfully, "Greetings, Palace Leader Jiang."

Saying so, he then saluted everyone seated and added, "Sect Chiefs, Clan Leaders, and Pu Ming Dàshī." Then he turned his attention to Fu Yulan and Fu Yushu, smiled, and said, "Third Uncle, father."

"What brings you here?" When Fu Yushu saw him appear, he frowned and reprimanded him before anyone else could say anything, "You're a junior. Who allowed you entry? And you even broke the door to get in, for goodness sake!"

Saying so, Fu Yushu stood up and looked like he was about to go down and beat someone up. Fu Yulan quickly pulled Fu Yushu and persuadingly said, "Yushu, Changling is still young. If he barged in like this, he must have something important to say. Listen to what he has to say first."

It was inconvenient for the others to speak up since Fu Yushu had scolded him first and Fu Yulan had reacted in kind. Grandmaster Pu Ming, whose expression on his seat was either gloomy or sunny, asked in a subdued tone, "What are you trying to do, you little kid, trespassing in the main hall like this?"

"This junior has committed an offence. It's just that something unforeseen happened. Seniors, kindly accept my apology." Fu Changling first knelt and acknowledged his mistake with the utmost sincerity. The expressions of those present lightened slightly, but Ming Ran, who was trapped by the formation right by, swore angrily, "Release me, you obnoxious kid! What kind of hero are you supposed to be if you sneak attack me with your Fu Clan's numinous relics?"

"Tsk-tsk-tsk." Fu Changling revealed an expression of disgust as he listened to Ming Ran yelling, "How can a demon cultivator of the Deification level have the audacity to say that I sneakily attacked him? Even I feel ashamed for you."

Everyone's expressions changed significantly upon hearing this. Pu Ming smacked the table, saying angrily, "What kind of nonsense are you bringing up?"

"Please take it easy, Pu Ming Dàshī. Kindly allow this junior time to report to you concerning this matter." Fu Changling stood up and dusted himself off. He went over to Qin Yan's side and reached out to help him up. Qin Yan wanted to say something to refuse, but Fu Changling shot him a cautionary glance. Qin Yan paused, and Fu Changling helped him up, asking the other disciples to bring him a stool and whispering, "I'll take care of this."

Qin Yan frowned. Fu Changling gave him a pat on the shoulder before turning around to approach Ming Ran.

Ming Ran glared at him with caution and asked coldly, "What are you trying to do?"

Fu Changling smiled but said nothing. He took out the black piece of cloth from his lapels and handed it to Ming Ran. "Do you recognise what this is?"

Ming Ran's eyes flittered at the sight of the black cloth, but he said flatly, "You bring whatever and expect me to recognise what it is?"

"It all started a month ago. One month ago, I accompanied my household lackey, Yue Mingsi, to the Shangguan Clan to exorcise evil spirits, only to encounter such a vile creature as the Wushi Luo..."

"So, it was you who accompanied Qin Yan to the Xuanji Secret Realm?" Pu Ming laughed coldly and turned to Jiang Yebai, saying, "That disciple of yours is, indeed, deceitful."

"Yah, Qin Yan has already told all of you about this?" Fu Changling was somewhat surprised, and Pu Ming's tone was sarcastic. "He did, but he failed to disclose that. He didn't mention anything about it having anything to do with you."
