Ren Wushuang, supporting Shen Mei, looked at Qin Feiyang and the Wolf King, frowning. "What exactly is going on here?"

"Miss Ren, do you know why Shen Mei came to find you?" the Wolf King asked. "She was deceived by Lu Xingchen's lies and intended to force you to take the Aphrodisiac Pill."

"What?" Ren Wushuang's delicate body trembled.

The City Lord and the white-haired old man also suddenly paled.

Master Lu and Shi Ming both looked at Lu Xingchen simultaneously.

"Bastard!" Master Lu reprimanded through voice transmission. "If you can't even handle this small matter, what are you doing?"

Lu Xingchen's body trembled, looking to Master Lu for help.

"Trash!" Master Lu swore under his breath. His eyes flickered as he transmitted a message to Lu Xingchen, "Did Qin Feiyang see it with his own eyes?"

Lu Xingchen slightly shook his head.

"That makes it easy to handle. Later, push all the blame onto Shen Mei," Master Lu secretly instructed.

Following that, he walked towards Lu Xingchen with an intimidating aura. Upon getting closer, he slapped Lu Xingchen's face and shouted, "How dare you do such a thing! Have you eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard?"

"Huh?" Qin Feiyang and the Wolf King were taken aback.

The City Lord and the others also looked towards Master Lu and Lu Xingchen.

Lu Xingchen fell to his knees with a thud. "Ancestor, I'm not at fault for this."

"You still dare to argue!" Furious, Master Lu raised his hand and struck again.

BANG!

Lu Xingchen was sent flying, crashing into the wall behind him and spurting blood from his mouth.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Master Lu stormed over and unleashed a flurry of punches and kicks on Lu Xingchen.

"Ah…" Lu Xingchen's agonized screams rang out.

"Are they putting on an act?" the Wolf King transmitted.

"What else could it be if not an act?" Qin Feiyang chuckled coldly.

"Such a realistic performance. I really feel sorry for Lu Xingchen," the Wolf King transmitted, looking at Lu Xingchen with some sympathy.

"If it's not realistic, who would believe it? If I am not mistaken, Lu Xingchen will definitely shift the blame onto Shen Mei," Qin Feiyang thought.

The Wolf King said, "Then why not just present the evidence directly, leaving him with no room for rebuttal?"

"No rush," Qin Feiyang transmitted, his eyes cold and resolute. "Let them argue first. The more they argue, the angrier the City Lord will be when the truth comes to light. This time, I'm determined to obliterate the Lu Family!"

"Good, then let's just sit back and enjoy the show," the Wolf King grinned, finding pleasure in watching Lu Xingchen get beaten.

A moment later, Master Lu, seeming tired, finally stopped.

Looking at Lu Xingchen now, he was sprawled on the ground, battered and bruised, blood streaming down his face, an expression of pure agony.

"Get up right now and tell the City Lord everything about this matter, in detail," Master Lu stepped back to stand beside the City Lord and roared at Lu Xingchen. "If there is any concealment, or even half a lie, I will kill you on the spot!"

Lu Xingchen jerked, clumsily got up, knelt on the ground, and said, "City Lord, Shen Mei was the one who masterminded this!"

"What did you say?" Shen Mei's eyes widened in rage.

"Isn't it true?" Lu Xingchen roared hysterically. "You were envious of Ren Wushuang's talent, jealous of her gifts, and you made me conspire with you to harm her! As long as she lost her purity, she wouldn't have the face to see anyone in the future, and no one would compete with you for fame and fortune. Shen Mei, your heart is truly venomous! It's clear that you are the main instigator. Now you're actually playing the victim and framing me, where is your conscience!"

Then, he scrambled and crawled to the City Lord's feet, crying out, "Grandfather Ren, please believe me! I was only momentarily bewitched by her. I know I was wrong, I will definitely change."

"I'm the mastermind? I'm framing you?" Shen Mei looked at Lu Xingchen, her face slack with disbelief.

She had never expected the man she had always liked to be such a person!

The City Lord frowned, his gaze flickering towards Qin Feiyang. Seeing Qin Feiyang's calm and composed demeanor, he felt as if he had taken a calming pill.

Immediately, the City Lord looked down at Lu Xingchen and asked, "I will give you one more chance. Is what you said truly what happened?"

"Yes," Lu Xingchen nodded.

Master Lu, standing beside them, angrily said, "Even if she misled you, your crime is still unforgivable!"

Lu Xingchen quickly said, "Ancestor, I was wrong. I'm willing to accept any punishment."

"Humph!" Master Lu gave a cold snort and turned to Elder Shen, sighing, "Elder Shen, you've always been so virtuous. How did you end up raising such a granddaughter?"

Elder Shen's expression darkened, and he raised his hand to slap Shen Mei.

But a hand suddenly appeared, gripping his wrist.

"Huh?" Everyone present looked at the hand.

Its owner was none other than Qin Feiyang!

Shi Ming angrily said, "Qin Feiyang, Elder Shen is disciplining his own granddaughter. Why are you stopping him? Aren't you overstepping?"

"You better shut up." Qin Feiyang glared at him menacingly, then turned to Elder Shen and smiled. "You can't strike her with this slap."

"Why not?" Elder Shen frowned.

"Because she is already deeply hurt. If you slap her again, she might do something foolish," Qin Feiyang said.

Upon hearing this, a hint of suspicion crept into Elder Shen's eyes.

Listening to Qin Feiyang's tone, could there be something else going on?

He glanced at Shen Mei and saw her face filled with sorrow and agony.

At that moment, he realized that he might have wrongly accused his granddaughter.

He lowered his arm and looked back at Qin Feiyang, his eyes conveying a silent plea for help.

From the very beginning until now, this young man had remained calm and composed, as if he held solid evidence.

Qin Feiyang smiled at Elder Shen, then turned to Master Lu and Lu Xingchen. "Is the show over? If not, please continue."

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Master Lu shouted.

"Grandfather Ren, you've watched me grow up; you know best what kind of person I am!" Lu Xingchen also said. "I would never dare to lie in front of you! This Qin Feiyang has always disliked me, so now he's speaking up for Shen Mei. They might even be in cahoots, aiming to frame me and eliminate me. Please, Grandfather Ren, investigate thoroughly!"

But both Lu Xingchen and Master Lu were starting to feel nervous, because Qin Feiyang was far too calm.

"Brilliant, brilliant," the Wolf King said. "You all wait a moment. Brother is going to get a small stool and a jar of good wine to slowly watch your performance." After speaking, he turned to Ren Wushuang. "Miss Ren, do you have a stool and wine?"

"No!" Ren Wushuang glared at it.

What is he doing, fooling around at a time like this? That infuriating creature!

"I have some here." Elder Shen waved his hand, and a chair and a jar of aged wine materialized before the Wolf King.

"Many thanks." The Wolf King's eyes lit up. Tearing open the paper seal on the wine jar, a rich aroma of wine instantly wafted out. Just smelling the fragrance was enough to make one feel slightly tipsy.

Immediately, the Wolf King's eyes shone. His body grew to a meter long as he hugged the wine jar and sprawled lazily on the chair.

"Smooth on entry, leaving a lingering fragrance in the mouth." He tilted his head back for a swig and couldn't help but exclaim, "Good wine, truly good wine!" Then he looked at Lu Xingchen and Master Lu. "You can continue the show now."

"City Lord, isn't it being too presumptuous!" Master Lu seethed with rage. "And Elder Shen, what is the meaning of this? It wants wine, you give it. If it wanted your life, would you give that too?"

The City Lord remained silent.

Elder Shen glanced at Master Lu. "If it can clear my granddaughter's name, I am willing to give up this life!"

Qin Feiyang's heart skipped a beat.

It seemed this Elder Shen truly cherished Shen Mei!

Master Lu scowled fiercely and said in anger, "Are you suggesting Lu Xingchen is lying?"

Elder Shen replied indifferently, "Whether he is lying or not, I do not know. But I do know that one cannot blindly believe one person's side of the story."

Master Lu said, "Fine! Then present your evidence now to prove that Lu Xingchen is deceiving everyone!"

The Wolf King transmitted, "Xiao Qinzi, isn't it time to show the evidence?"

"Indeed, it is." Qin Feiyang nodded, his gaze sweeping over everyone present. "City Lord, Elder Shen, the actual mastermind behind this incident is Master Lu."

"What?" The City Lord and Elder Shen's gazes flickered, and they turned to Master Lu with grim expressions.

"Damn it! Does he actually have evidence?" Master Lu was shocked. He quickly transmitted a message to Lu Xingchen, "Did Qin Feiyang really see it with his own eyes?"

Given Qin Feiyang's usual methods, if he had seen it, he would definitely have recorded it with an Image Crystal Stone.

Lu Xingchen subtly shook his head, his gaze firm.

"It seems this little bastard is bluffing, trying to make us expose ourselves," Master Lu thought, a cold smile touching his old eyes.

WHOOSH!

He sharply turned his gaze towards Qin Feiyang, his eyes glinting with murderous intent. "Since you say I am the mastermind, then produce your evidence. If you can, I will give you this old life of mine! But if you cannot, you and Rogue Wolf will kill yourselves on the spot! Do you dare?" Master Lu roared.

"You're the one who said it," Qin Feiyang smiled.

The Wolf King also smiled.

The next moment, Qin Feiyang took out an Image Crystal Stone, infusing Battle Intent into it.

An image rapidly materialized.

In the scene, Shi Ming and Lu Xingchen stood on a mountaintop, their conversation echoing word for word in the cultivation chamber.

"How is this possible? This isn't real!" Upon seeing the image, Lu Xingchen immediately began to shake his head frantically, his face filled with disbelief.

Shi Ming and Master Lu also stared with wide, furious eyes.

WHOOSH!

Master Lu suddenly lunged, aiming a punch at the Image Crystal Stone.

BOOM!

But at that very moment, a terrifying pressure emerged, enveloping the entire area.

Master Lu, Lu Xingchen, and Shi Ming were all restrained.

"Wait until we've finished watching," the City Lord said, glancing at Master Lu before raising his head to continue watching the image.

Master Lu's heart sank to the depths. He shot Lu Xingchen an angry glare and roared at him through voice transmission, "You incompetent fool, good for nothing but ruining things! I'll kill you later!"

Lu Xingchen's eyes instantly filled with deep despair.

Suddenly, he stared at Qin Feiyang and the Wolf King, his eyes filled with venomous resentment.

Why was it always these two mongrels ruining his plans? He was indignant! He was furious! He wished he could tear Qin Feiyang and the Wolf King to shreds!

Shi Ming, too, stared fixedly at Qin Feiyang and the Wolf King, his expression utterly ferocious.
