Chapter 1052 - 1052 Distorting the Truth

1052 Distorting the Truth

The Director, Yuan Ying, had a gentle temperament and a fair face. When he didn’t smile, he gave off a kind and amiable feeling. When he smiled, he gave off a comfortable feeling.

It was said that most of the pharmacists appeared benevolent and good-tempered.

As the Director, Yuan Ying rarely appeared in front of these pharmacists and ascenders. However, the few times he appeared, he always had a friendly and pleasant image. However, this time, everyone realized that he wasn’t smiling at all.

When the Director had a serious expression, he actually looked a little sinister and ruthless.

Yuan Ying stared at the spiritual field under He Zhiqiu’s feet and saw the energy transmission tubes that he had dug out deep underground. His eyes were filled with gloom.

“He Zhiqiu! What are you doing?!”

He Zhiqiu sneered and forcefully inserted his walking stick into the spiritual field. Then, he retorted fearlessly, “As you can see, I dug them up!”

“You actually dared to dig out the energy transmission tubes! Do you know how important these energy transmission tubes are? If you dig them out, you’ll destroy the foundation of the entire spiritual field! He Zhiqiu, you’ve committed a huge crime, do you know?!” Yuan Ying glared at He Zhiqiu. From his expression, it seemed like he wanted to skin him alive to vent his hatred.

After He Zhiqiu admitted it so frankly, He Zhiqiu became even angrier.

Seeing that the 15 ascenders were standing behind him to support him, He Zhiqiu immediately felt more confident.

“I committed a serious crime?” He Zhiqiu pointed at the surrounding ascenders and asked the Director, Yuan Ying, “Manager Yuan Ying, do you dare to tell these ascenders what these energy transmission tubes that I dug out are for?! Where did the energy they absorbed come from?”

He Zhiqiu felt that Yuan Ying didn’t have the guts to reveal their scheme openly.

If he dared to say a single word, it would be humiliation to the Cang Lang Continent.

But—

Yuan Ying had a spurious smile as his gaze passed He Zhiqiu and landed on the group of ascenders behind him.

As if he was acting in a stage play, an angry expression suddenly appeared on Yuan Ying’s face as he said loudly, “Friends who have come from afar, you might not know, but these underground energy transmission tubes are the foundation of the entire spiritual field space. If He Zhiqiu digs them all out today, the energy tubes will no longer be able to transfer energy to your spiritual fields. In that case, I’m afraid your assessment mission…”

Yuan Ying glanced at the livid He Zhiqiu and said meaningfully, “He Zhiqiu is clearly ruining your assessment results!”

Hearing Yuan Ying’s words, He Zhiqiu was so angry that his body was trembling. “You, you, you!!” As He Zhiqiu pointed at Yuan Ying, he trembled non-stop and was so angry that he almost fainted. “Yuan Ying, you’re simply distorting the truth! Do you dare to tell them the truth about these energy transmission tubes?!”

However, after those ascenders heard Yuan Ying’s first words, they didn’t care what He Zhiqiu said after that.

There was only one thought in their minds—

If the energy transmission tube was broken, they would fail their assessment mission.

And this was all thanks to that old fellow, He Zhiqiu!

A middle-aged woman questioned He Zhiqiu angrily, “Mr. He! Did you really dig out this energy transmission tube? Why did you dig it out?!”

He Zhiqiu was angry and anxious to explain, but then he pressed his chest as he coughed.

After he recovered, He Zhiqiu was about to explain when a middle-aged man suddenly pushed He Zhiqiu’s chest.

For the past ten years, He Zhiqiu would nourish the spiritual power and vitality of the spiritual field under his feet every morning. After ten years of consumption, his spiritual power and vitality were very weak now. After being pushed by a young and strong man, He Zhiqiu could no longer stand still and staggered to the ground.

He Zhiqiu looked up at the man who pushed him with a mocking expression.

He Zhiqiu knew this person. He was a Grand Master Beast Tamer who had ascended from a small world last year. His name was Ji Qing’an. This morning, when He Zhiqiu and Yu Huang walked into the pill cart, Ji Qing’an had even stood up to help him.

Before he violated his personal interests, Ji Qing’an showed a compassionate attitude. However, once his interests were violated by He Zhiqiu, he turned hostile and attacked him.

Seeing that He Zhiqiu had been pushed to the ground by him, Ji Qing’an was stunned and felt flustered.

Seeing the mocking look in He Zhiqiu’s eyes, Ji Qing’an felt even more guilty.

Ji Qing’an had many things to ask He Zhiqiu, but he was suddenly speechless.

At this moment, another ascender stood up and pointed at He Zhiqiu. “He Zhiqiu! You’re a Grand Master Beast Tamer, so how can you be pushed down by Mr. Ji with a single palm? Don’t rely on your old age to play the pity card! You dug out the energy transmission tube and committed a huge crime. In order to avoid punishment, you pretended to be weak, right?!”

For a moment, everyone couldn’t help but judge He Zhiqiu’s words and actions with the greatest malice.

“That’s right. He Zhiqiu, you’re a Grand Master. Why are you pretending?!”

“He Zhiqiu! If you’re a man, speak up! You have the ability to dig out the energy transmission tube, but now, you don’t even have the courage to bear the responsibility?”

“You didn’t succeed in planting the Bone Nurturing Grass even after ten years, so today, you completely lost your patience and wanted to drag us down with you! He Zhiqiu, I didn’t expect you to be so despicable!”

…

Everyone surrounded He Zhiqiu and condemned him.

At this moment, He Zhiqiu could no longer hear what they were saying. He sat in the spirit field with a numb expression as he looked up at Yuan Ying, who was standing in front of him and looking down at him with condescension.

Yuan Ying looked at him with the joy of a victor and the arrogance of a superior person.

He was just an old fart who had no one to rely on. It was his honor to be chosen by the Cang Lang Continent.

How ungrateful!

He Zhiqiu looked at Yuan Ying in silence. There was originally a glimmer of hope in his eyes. However, at this moment, those lights dimmed bit by bit.

At this moment, He Zhiqiu understood everything—

After Yuan Ying appeared just now, he didn’t confront He Zhiqiu. All he had to do was arouse the hatred of all the ascenders.

This move was despicable but premeditated.

Probably, on the day they decided to use the lie of planting the Bone Nurturing Grass to keep him, they were prepared that he would discover that the entire matter was a scam one day.

Therefore, after knowing that he had discovered the truth and dug out the energy transmission tube, Yuan Ying calmly directed all the blame on him.

He was really good at distorting the truth!
