Qi Zhibai spoke up to remind him that he valued Zhang Yun's talent for cultivation, but his stubbornness was too much. He refused to admit his mistakes. It seemed that even if he couldn't become Zhang Yun's disciple, he would still have to educate him properly.
"Does this only prove my innocence?"
"Then what about him who falsely accused his fellow disciple?"
Zhang Yun's expression was indifferent, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes as he looked at Su Yu and pointed at Zhang Zizigu, causing Zhang Zizigu's expression to change.
He could sense that the confidence in Zhang Yun's eyes was genuine.
It was precisely because of this self-confidence that Zhang Zigu always harbored a deep resentment in front of Zhang Yun.
Can he really prove his innocence?
Zhang Zigu couldn't help but panic.
But then I thought about it again. My plan, if not flawless, was at least interconnected, and there was no problem or omission in any part of it.
With this in mind, Zhang Zigu gradually calmed down. He was determined to convict Zhang Yun of theft!
“Junior Brother Zhang Yun, as your senior brother, I have already forgiven your mistakes. Why do you insist on holding onto this and maliciously slandering me?”
“Alright, since that’s the case, if Junior Brother Zhang Yun can prove his innocence, I, Zhang Zigu, will let Zhang Yun do whatever he wants with me today, and I will have no complaints!”
Zhang Zigu's tone revealed a hint of helplessness, and his upright and righteous appearance made him seem more like an innocent victim, while Zhang Yun became the villain who slandered and maliciously spread rumors, which immediately aroused public anger.
"Zhang Yun, you shameless bastard, did you hear that now? Senior Brother Zhang is upright and has nothing to fear. No matter how you spread rumors, you can't change the truth!"
"No matter how eloquently you speak, no one will believe a single word you say!"
"Hmph, anyone with eyes can see that Zhang Yun is clearly being unreasonable. Senior Brother Zhang Zigu is too kind to give such a person a chance."
"Yes, after this incident, I am completely impressed by Senior Brother Zhang Zigu's noble character and magnanimity. Moreover, he is very handsome and is a prodigy..."
Originally, the sect leaders present intended to protect Zhang Yun, and Zhang Zigu also took a step back and expressed his forgiveness to Zhang Yun.
However, Zhang Yun not only failed to appreciate the favor, but also turned around and framed Zhang Zigu. Such shamelessness and ingratitude were truly intolerable!
"Zhang Yun, if you can't produce enough evidence, I can't control how the sect punishes you."
Although it wasn't Luo Chen facing public pressure, his expression also darkened as he looked at Zhang Yun and spoke solemnly.
He had already promised Lin Dong that he would take good care of Zhang Yun. If this matter were brought up again, he was afraid that Zhang Yun would not be able to convince the public unless he was severely punished.
Zhang Yun is practically flirting with death, recklessly testing the limits.
Zhang Yun had never sensed any malice from Luo Chen; on the contrary, Luo Chen seemed to be worried about him. This made Zhang Yun smile and say, "Don't worry, Vice Sect Master. The truth will soon come to light, and I will also make Zhang Zigu confess his guilt."
"Hmph, what a charade!" Lu Wuyai flicked his sleeve and returned to his seat, finding Zhang Yun increasingly unpleasant.
Today he wanted to see if Zhang Yun could pull off any amazing feats.
Seeing this, Zhang Zigu chuckled and said, "If you can't answer, I'll have to leave now, I'm in a hurry."
"I will let bygones be bygones for your despicable act of theft, and this matter will be over."
Only now did Zhang Zigu finally dare to conclude that Zhang Yun's call to him earlier was merely a momentary impulse born of anger, and that he was now clearly caught in a dilemma, unable to extricate himself from either side.
Since that's the case, Zhang Zigu, who didn't want to strain his relationship with Zhang Yun too much, decided to do him a favor and let him go, while also gaining some prestige within the Yunwu Sect.
Despite the numerous criticisms and sarcastic remarks, Zhang Yun remained unmoved and indifferent. He simply looked at Zhang Zigu and said with a faint smile, "Senior Brother Zhang, I wonder if you, who have done something wrong, dare to look me in the eye?"
"What's there to be afraid of!" Zhang Zigu smiled contemptuously, raising his eyes to meet Zhang Yun's gaze directly.
Zhang Yun, don't you just want to see the guilt and remorse in his eyes?
To tell you the truth, it's absolutely impossible!
I'm an actor by profession!
However, in the next moment, Zhang Zigu felt a strange tremor in the depths of his soul, and Zhang Yun's eyes were as deep as a bottomless abyss.
The bottomless abyss seemed to have an infinite pull, as if it were drawing his entire being into it.
"Oops!"
Zhang Zigu was startled, sensing something was wrong, but it was too late.
Her consciousness gradually began to become blurred and scattered.
Lu Wuyai suddenly noticed the change in Zhang Zigu's expression, his brows furrowed slightly, and he had a strange feeling.
As for what's strange about it, I can't quite put my finger on it right now.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became somewhat strange, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but dart back and forth between Zhang Yun and Zhang Zigu.
"Now I'm asking you, who delivered those things to Zhang Yun's residence?" Zhang Yun asked calmly, his face expressionless.
Upon hearing Zhang Yun's question, Zhang Zigu's somewhat dazed eyes showed a slight reaction.
“I ordered my cousin Zhang Shiyu to deliver it. On the surface, it was an apology, but in reality, it was a plan to frame Zhang Yun.”
Zhang Yun's expression remained unchanged as he continued, "Then why did you frame me?"
"Because last time in the Zhuangyuanhao private room of Liulianjian, Yun Qingtian, Qin Ling, Su Muyu, Wei Lin and I had a conflict with Zhang Yun and Ye Qianzhi. I didn’t expect Zhang Yun’s strength to be far beyond our imagination. He made a series of moves and easily seriously injured Qin Ling and Yun Qingtian."
