Chapter 1193 - 1193 1179 The Truth

Chapter 1193: Chapter 1179: The Truth Chapter 1193: Chapter 1179: The Truth Jiang Shizi shook her head, still not quite recovered, and said, “I really thought he was dead.”

“It’s not that you thought he was dead, it’s that everyone except for a few people in the know thought he was dead,” Qing’er said.

“I was pretty sad at the time, really pretty sad.”

“You were sad.”

“Hey, we were all friends, thinking he died, who wouldn’t be sad, who wouldn’t feel upset?”

Luo Rui and Bi Chun, who had gone out to make tea, came back, the two of them carrying tea into the room.

Qing’er said, “Luo Rui, go tidy up two rooms for us.”

“Okay.” Luo Rui placed the tea and some snacks on the table.

Bi Chun said, “I’ll help you.”

The two maidservants quickly left.

Qing’er shook her head and said, “Let’s not talk about my headache-inducing matters, let’s talk about you. How are things with Yuan Jingxing? He hasn’t been bullying you, has he?”

Jiang Shizi smiled and said, “He wouldn’t dare to bully me; it’s me who bullies him.”

“That means you really have found someone to rely on. His affairs must be quite many by now.”

“Yes, his affairs are indeed much more than before. Now, he has to handle many things, especially after Su Zhanze went to confront the Tianye Demon, the reconstruction of Immortal City has mostly fallen into his hands. He doesn’t even have time to take care of me anymore, so I came to see you, and also to check on Yun’er.”

Jiang Shizi continued, “From what you’re saying, it sounds like you’re still very conflicted. I never expected that there would be this part to the story.”

Qing’er came over, poured her a cup of tea, and said, “Indeed, it’s quite troubling. I don’t know what to do now but wait for the latest news.”

“Don’t be too anxious; everything might just turn out fine.”

“I hope it really is as you say.”

“When I heard that Yun’er had found someone new, I was quite happy. At first, I was afraid she wouldn’t be able to move on, worried she might despair. I never anticipated it would be so complicated.”

“You should let it be. If it really comes to it, we’ll just kidnap them and drag things out a bit longer.”

That comment nearly made Jiang Shizi spit out her tea in shock. “You’re going to kidnap them?”

“It was just a thought that crossed my mind, not something I’m actually going to do.”

This was clearly a sign of her desperation, or else why would such an idea even come to mind?

“How is Immortal City doing?”

“It’s managing alright. Ever since Ren Xiongbei, things have slowly returned to normal.”

“That’s good to hear. I believe it should be quite normal.”

If Immortal City wasn’t stable, Su Zhanze wouldn’t have the peace of mind to focus on dealing with the Tianye Demon.

Remembering something, Jiang Shizi recalled that just earlier, when Luo Rui ushered them in, she had asked about Qing’er. From Luo Rui’s words, she found out that Su Zhanze would often come to see her mother. She said, “Luo Rui mentioned that you’re preparing to reconcile with Su Zhanze.”

That brought the conversation back to Qing’er’s own matters. “Mm, in this life, I just want simplicity. I don’t wish to ponder too much. As long as we can live quietly and everyone is safe and sound, that’s enough. The past is the past; my father is gone too, what can you do about it? Giving him a chance is also giving myself one. There’s no point in holding onto the past, life should be simple and uneventful.”

You could tell, just as Luo Rui said, that she had been considering reconciling with Su Zhanze. Jiang Shizi suddenly felt conflicted, “There’s something I really don’t know whether I should tell you.”

Qing’er took a sip of tea and said, “Hehe, what is it? Just say it.”

“It’s about Su Zhanze and Ren Xiongbei, father and son.”

“As for Ren Xiongbei, wasn’t it said that someone killed Ren Xiongbei mysteriously?” Qing’er continued sipping her tea.

“Do you know that Fang Ziren didn’t go mad because of Ren Xiongbei and his son?”

Qing’er became even more puzzled. Although she was in Demon Palace City, it wasn’t isolated; she could still hear news from the outside, especially about Ren Xiongbei’s plot to seize the second half of the secret manual from Fang Ziren’s hands and drive him mad. She questioned, “What do you mean, it wasn’t Ren Xiongbei’s doing?”

Jiang Shizi was truly conflicted, whether or not to tell her the truth, to let her know Su Zhanze’s true nature. But would that affect the chances of their relationship mending? No, she should tell the truth, especially as a friend. If she didn’t, and Qing’er found out later, would she regret it?

“I should just tell you directly.”

“Go ahead, just say whatever it is.”

Jiang Shizi threw out a sentence, “The one who stole the latter half of the secret manual from Fang Ziren’s hands was not Ren Xiongbei, but Su Zhanze. Everything was orchestrated by Su Zhanze. He plotted against Fang Ziren and framed Ren Xiongbei.”

Qing’er listened, completely confused, and said, “What, do you know what you’re talking about?”

“Alright, I’ll tell you everything I know.” Jiang Shizi started to recount the last time Ren Xiongbei returned to Immortal City, at the city gate, revealed that everything was Su Zhanze’s doing, that Su Zhanze had framed him.

Qing’er listened very carefully, but finally laughed and said, “That must be Ren Xiongbei making things up out of desperation.”

“No, this isn’t made up. In the end, Su Zhanze admitted that he was responsible for everything.”

“How could that be, why would he tell you?”

Jiang Shizi said, “He would never tell me. It was Yuan Jingxing, through his words, who suspected Su Zhanze.”

She then described how Yuan Jingxing started to suspect.

At this point, Qing’er was somewhat skeptical.

Jiang Shizi continued, “Later, Yuan Jingxing confronted Su Zhanze, who didn’t deny any of it and admitted that everything was his doing. He drove Fang Ziren mad, stole the secret manual from him, and also framed Ren Xiongbei.”

Hearing this, Qing’er almost couldn’t believe it and blurted out, “Why would he do such a thing?”

“Do you know how Su Zhanze was disfigured?”

She hadn’t really looked into the matter, only heard that something went wrong during the assassination of Longhun.

Seeing her reaction, Jiang Shizi knew she was unaware and said, “Longhun surrounded Fang Ziren and the others; Su Zhanze tried to help them break out by assassinating Longhun. Although he didn’t succeed, it allowed Fang Ziren a chance to escape. But Su Zhanze didn’t expect to fall into a trap, become possessed, and encounter Fang Ziren in the woods. He had hoped to be rescued by Fang Ziren, but instead, Fang Ziren struck him with a palm and knocked him down a cliff. That’s how he was disfigured.”

Unable to sit still, Qing’er stood up and began to pace.

Jiang Shizi continued, “He saved Fang Ziren, but Fang Ziren nearly killed him. In the end, he didn’t die, but his face was ruined. As you know, the thing Su Zhanze cared about the most was his appearance. He hated Fang Ziren, so he sought revenge.”

“These were his own words?”

“Indeed, he admitted to it himself. That night, I was by the door and overheard Su Zhanze’s conversation with Yuan Jingxing.”

Qing’er asked, “Then why did he frame Ren Xiongbei?”

“He said it was because Ren Xiongbei was the reason he ended up in this state. If it weren’t for Ren Xiongbei’s escape, he and you wouldn’t have been captured. Eventually, Longhun coerced him, and in his attempt to rescue you, he ended up killing your father and many others from Demon Palace City.” Jiang Shizi suddenly shifted tone and said, “Of course, this reason is obviously far-fetched and highly unreasonable. But Yuan Jingxing and I think that it was actually for the position of Sect Leader, and also to find a scapegoat.

You ought to consider, if Ren Xiongbei hadn’t gone through this, he would still be the leader of Immortal City. Su Zhanze would never have had the chance. If he hadn’t harmed Ren Xiongbei, how could he possibly become the leader of Immortal City Sect again?”

Faced with this, Qing’er nearly stumbled, exclaiming, “How could he do such a thing?”

Jiang Shizi quickly supported Qing’er and helped her back to her seat.

Jiang Shizi said, “Having nearly fallen into madness, though he recovered, his disfiguration was the greatest shock to him. I believe that’s the real reason. His intention to seek revenge on Fang Ziren is indeed true, as is framing Ren Xiongbei to attain the position of Sect Leader. It’s killing two birds with one stone, a flawless plan. Had I not overheard it, I would truly doubt whether this affair was real.”

Qing’er was unable to recover from the shock for a long time, saying, “Even if he truly sought revenge, he shouldn’t have killed so many people.” She knew well that after Fang Ziren went mad, except for Xiong Shuobo, nearly all those who followed him had been killed.

“Hmm, to achieve his goal, he had to be ruthless. I can hardly believe that Su Zhanze would do such a thing, had I not heard it with my own ears, I would never have believed it.”

Jiang Shizi continued, “However, Su Zhanze has done many good deeds lately, including getting rid of the Tianye Demon.”

Yet Qing’er countered, “But that doesn’t mean we should just act as if those other things never happened. For the position of Sect Leader, he caused the death of Ren Xiongbei; is that right?” She was very agitated, nearly exploding with anger.

Jiang Shizi hurriedly said, “Perhaps framing Ren Xiongbei was merely for revenge. As for whether he wanted the position of Sect Leader, that’s just speculation from Yuan Jingxing and me. Su Zhanze has never admitted to it.”

“Is there a need for admission? The facts have proved it; he has obtained the position of leader of the Immortal City Sect.”

“Perhaps he only sought revenge and didn’t anticipate gaining the position of Sect Leader.”

Qing’er had originally intended to reconcile with Su Zhanze, but after hearing all this, her attitude suddenly changed, muttering, “How could he be such a person, how could he do such things.” Then she asked, “Right, so was Ren Xiongbei killed by him? And what about Ren Haotian?”

Jiang Shizi quickly said, “That I truly do not know.”

“I’m almost certain it has something to do with him.”

Jiang Shizi started to regret, saying, “I shouldn’t have told you all this.”

Qing’er understood the implication of Jiang Shizi’s regret and quickly said, “You don’t need to regret it. Had I not known these things and stayed with him, I would be the one with regrets.”

It seemed the damage was already done beyond doubt.

“I truly didn’t expect that he could do such a thing.”
