Chapter 452 - Sword Dao Office, Cuckold Man
Chapter 452 Sword Dao Office, Cuckold Man
Dao Technique Chamber. In the past few days, the traffic seemed to have increased.
The hall on the first floor was crowded and bustling. Everywhere in sight was a dense mass of people.
“Look, that’s the female lead. She’s indeed quite pure yet sexy. She makes your eyes light
up.”
“Cut the crap. This is our Senior Sister Gu. She can be said to be the ceiling of the pure yet sexy style. There are at least a thousand people who are wooing her.”
“What a pity! She has such an outstanding appearance, but her character… is indescribable.”
“But let’s put it this way. Even if she has a bad character, if she could become my Dao partner, I wouldn’t even blink an eye if she asked me to shorten my lifespan, let alone mind her bad character.”
“Tch! You’re really a toad lusting after a swan. Why don’t you look in the mirror? Would Senior Sister Gu like you?”
“Well, she was still “eaten” by that Zhu Xiaoming
“I’m so tall and mighty. Why can’t I?”
“Shh! Can you keep your voice down?”
This was only a corner of the hall. There were many discussions like this in other areas.
Ever since the conflict between Fan Zhibao and Qin Chuan broke out, all kinds of plots were created.
The most common version was that Zhu Xiaoming interfered and filled Gu Mengyao with flowery words while Fan Zhibao was in seclusion trying to transcend the Immortal Tribulation.
After Fan Zhibao came out of seclusion, he was furious when he learned that he had been cheated on. He almost killed Zhu Xiaoming when he found him.
Due to this matter, Fan Zhibao’s identity as an elder was taken away, and Zhu Xiaoming was also punished. The biggest victim here was probably Gu Mengyao.
Initially, this had nothing to do with her, but some people fanned the flames. Because of this matter, her good image in the sect crumbled instantly.
She was very innocent. She had become much more haggard after being cursed at for no reason.
Even so, she still went to work at the Dao Technique Chamber as usual.
As this incident had occurred in the Dao Technique Chamber, the elders had been extremely busy for the past two days, and they hadn’t made any statements yet.
During the lunch break.
In the resting area, Gu Mengyao and Lu Yiping sat in a corner.
Gu Mengyao was also isolated by the other receptionists because of this matter.
Others wouldn’t say anything in front of her, but they would definitely point fingers behind her back.
“Mengyao, I think you should listen to my advice and take a few days off to lie low for a while. That way, you can relax a little too.
“You’ve been so haggard for the past few days. If this continues, you’ll definitely become depressed, “said Lu Yiping concernedly.
Gu Mengyao forced a smile and slowly shook her head. “Yiping, I’m fine.
“This matter was groundless to begin with. As long as I’m innocent, they can say whatever they want.”
Lu Yiping looked disappointed. “If that’s the case, why are you so haggard?!”
“In any case, a straight person is not afraid of a crooked shoe. Whatever I, Gu Mengyao, have done or said gives me a clear conscience.”
“Sigh, you! You’re still so stubborn.” Lu Yiping shrugged. “In that case, I won’t persuade you anymore. “No matter what, no matter what others think of you, I will always be your strongest support. I will always be on your side.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Mengyao’s eyes sparkled, and a look of relief appeared on her face. “Thank you, Yiping. If you become like me one day, I will also stand by your side resolutely.”
Lu Yiping said, “Don’t worry! This definitely won’t happen to me. If anyone dares to spread rumors about me, I’ll skin them alive.”
She spoke loudly and deliberately for the others in the rest area to hear.
“But, won’t you be looking for Zhu Xiaoming?
“With him around, wouldn’t the rumors about you be resolved? “asked Lu Yiping suddenly.
Gu Mengyao said, “Do you think it’s suitable to go to him now?
“There are so many eyes on me outside now. If I go to him, another story might appear.”
Lu Yiping thought for a moment. “That makes sense.
“At the end of the day, the culprit is still Fan Zhibao. Without him, there wouldn’t be so many problems.”
“Right! I almost forgot to mention it.”
Lu Yiping suddenly thought of something and sat down beside Gu Mengyao. In a low voice, she said,
“I went to see my great-grandfather last night.
“I learned from him that Fan Zhibao had voluntarily withdrawn from the Elder office and given up his identity as an Elder.
“At that time, Fan Zhibao and Zhu Xiaoming both were to be punished. They were each given 200 hits. “But Fan Zhibao offset his with contribution points. Zhu Xiaoming was punished because he didn’t have as many contribution points.”
Gu Mengyao couldn’t help but be shocked. She was a little puzzled. “Doesn’t Junior Brother Xiaoming have many contribution points? Why is he so silly?”
Lu Yiping shook her head. “I don’t know either.
“Didn’t you say that he had more than a hundred million contribution points? Why didn’t he use them? Is he a masochist who likes to be punished?”
Gu Mengyao didn’t know how to answer. I don’t know him that well either. Perhaps he doesn’t want others to know that he has so many contribution points!
He has more than a hundred million contribution points. That was almost a trillion!
Anyone would be shocked to see so many contribution points.
A few more days passed.
The gossip came and dissipated quickly.
Although there were still people discussing it, there weren’t as many as before.
On this day, the Dao Technique Chamber issued a statement.
They explained in detail what happened that day, but regarding the reason why Fan Zhibao attacked Zhu Xiaoming, the Dao Technique Chamber explained that Fan Zhibao and Zhu Xiaoming already had a conflict previously.
Most disciples felt that this explanation was too perfunctory. There had to be another reason.
Everyone felt that it was really, as the rumors said. Zhu Xiaoming had snatched Fan Zhibao’s lover and cuckolded him, leading to this conflict.
In any case, only the three of them could explain this matter clearly.
But after all, this matter wasn’t too glamorous. They definitely wouldn’t do that. They could only choose to remain silent.
Another day passed.
On the fourth level.
Qin Chuan had finally finished reading all the books on this level.
He put the last book back on the shelf.
“Alright! It’s time to end this farce.” Qin Chuan glanced out the window and put on the tree bark mask.
He had naturally heard about the rumors outside.
He wasn’t in a hurry. He waited for some time first before dealing with the new and old grudges together.
It was early in the morning.
It was already rather lively inside and outside the Dao Technique Chamber.
Qin Chuan came to the first floor and glanced at the counter that he was most familiar with.
It was the counter where Gu Mengyao was.
After so many days, Gu Mengyao was no longer as haggard as she was in the beginning. Her mental state slowly improved.
Although there were still people who would discuss and criticize her behind her back, she had long gotten over it.
Do your own thing and walk your own path. Let others say what they want!
Qin Chuan watched from afar for a while, then walked out of the hall.
Gu Mengyao seemed to have sensed something and couldn’t help but glance in the direction where Qin Chuan had just stood. However, he was no longer there.
After leaving the Dao Techniques Chamber, Qin Chuan headed straight for the Sword Dao office.
The Sword Dao office was built in the southeast area of the headquarters.
Their iconic building was a giant sword tens of thousands of meters tall.
It’s said to be an immortal artifact.
However, it had stood there for several eras and had never been used.
In the square in front of the entrance of the Sword Dao office.
“Hello, Senior Brother! Do you know where Senior Brother Fan’s residence is?”
Qin Chuan asked a disciple that was practicing his sword in the square.
The disciple who was practicing his swordplay was very focused. He was shocked when Qin Chuan suddenly barged in.
That was because the tree bark mask worn by Qin Chuan was too terrifying.
If this was at night, timid people would definitely faint from fear.
“Aiyo, you scared me to death!” The disciple looked at Qin Chuan with a face full of worry and resentment. “I say, Junior Brother, you better not play such pranks on ordinary days. What if I thought that you were some evil demon and accidentally injured you?”
Qin Chuan chuckled and apologized repeatedly.
“Forget it, I forgive you!” The disciple wiped the long sword in his hand. “What did you just ask?”
Qin Chuan asked, “I would like to know where Senior Brother Fan Zhibao lives?”
The disciple was stunned and couldn’t help but size up Qin Chuan. “Why are you looking for Senior Brother Fan?”
After the incident at the Dao Technique Chamber spread, as the main person involved, Fan Zhibao naturally couldn’t avoid some public opinion.
It was mainly because everyone said that he had been cuckolded. He even had a nickname —Cuckold Man.
As a man, such a nickname hurt his pride.
It could be said that his dignity as a man was lost.
Fan Zhibao, who had always been petty, definitely couldn’t accept this.
But he seemed to have disappeared without a sound.
However, the Sword Dao office’s reputation was affected because of this matter.
Some people teased that from now on, the Sword Dao office should not be called the Sword Dao office anymore. Instead, it should be called the Cuckold office.
Therefore, to the disciples of the Sword Dao office, the name Fan Zhibao became especially sensitive.
When Qin Chuan asked about Fan Zhibao, the disciple couldn’t help but feel wary.
