Against The Sky Supreme

“Please allow me to investigate the truth of this matter. I promise to give you a satisfactory answer.”

Bing Qing Daoist's expression softened slightly, but the coldness in his eyes did not dissipate. He glanced at Tan Yun, clearly skeptical of his sincerity.

“Three days ago, Zhou Run was gathering herbs in the Spirit Mountain Herb Garden and encountered five stalks of Revival Jade Grass. Due to the dangers of the place, he was killed by fierce beasts while trying to collect them,” Tan Yun continued, his voice steady.

“I believe it is crucial to find out why such a tragic event occurred. If there is anything wrong with the Revival Jade Grass, it is our responsibility to address it,” he said earnestly.

Bing Qing Daoist considered Tan Yun's words for a moment, then nodded slightly. “You have a point. This matter is indeed serious.”

Tan Yun felt a flicker of hope at the response. “I am willing to lead the investigation. I will do everything in my power to uncover the truth.”

“Very well,” Bing Qing Daoist replied, his tone still stern. “But if you fail to bring me results, don’t think I will let you off easily.”

Tan Yun nodded vigorously, “I understand. I will not disappoint you.”

As he stood up, he felt the weight of the challenge ahead. The lives of others depended on him, and he was determined to solve this mystery.

"Chief, please give me a moment to finish my words. After that, I will accept any punishment from you, without any complaints!"

Tan Yun's calm and respectful words clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

"I implore you, Chief, let Senior Brother Tan finish speaking!" Daniu knelt heavily on the ground, bowing deeply.

The other herb garden disciples exchanged glances and all knelt at the summit, shouting, "We implore you, Chief, let Senior Brother Tan finish speaking!"

Seeing this scene, Shen Qingfeng frowned, lost in thought.

Elder Twelve, Lu Wu, remained expressionless and secretly thought, "I have checked the Revival Jade Grass, and there are no signs of poisoning. How could this disposable disciple understand anything?"

"Even if there was poisoning, it was this little bastard who, in order to help Shen Qingfeng, secretly poisoned it. Hahaha, if that’s the case, then it would be great; I can take the opportunity to eliminate him later!"

As Lu Wu sneered inwardly, Bing Qing Daoist was infuriated that Tan Yun dared to defy her orders, her pride visibly rising and falling in her chest.

Just as she was about to speak, Shen Qingqiu glanced at Tan Yun, then faced Bing Qing Daoist, bowed, and firmly said, "Miss, I have lived my life in incompetence, but since meeting Tan Yun, I have a premonition that he is not an ordinary person. Thus, I risked my life to ask you to accept him into the outer sect."

"Regardless of how others view Tan Yun, in my heart, he is certainly not a mediocre talent, nor is he useless."

"Miss, please give Tan Yun a chance to finish his words…"

Bing Qing Daoist coldly snapped, "Enough! I have already said I will expel you from the Shen family; you no longer need to call me Miss."

"I will say this one last time, Tan Yun, disappear from my sight immediately, or face dire consequences!"

Bing Qing Daoist was the respected elder of the Inner Sect Danmai, and Tan Yun was merely a disposable disciple; how could she let him lead her by the nose?

This was not her recklessness. Just moments ago, she had observed the Revival Jade Grass in Tan Yun's hand; her conclusion remained the same, there was no poisoning.

With her qualifications as a saint level grand alchemist, she concluded there was no poisoning, so it must be true. Could a disposable disciple possibly know more than her?

Listening to this annoying disciple continue was simply a waste of time, making her furious!

"Miss!" Shen Qingqiu's gaze was resolute as he proclaimed, "I guarantee with my life that you allow Tan Yun to finish, and if he is unreasonable, you need not lift a finger; I will immediately kill him, and then I will die to apologize!"
