Chapter 2691: The Elder Is Not At Fault, The Fault Lies With The Disciple

"Wen Xing, take out the Talisman… and prove your innocence," Xiao Fan looked at Wen Xing and sneered.

Xiao Fan had already considered the possibility that after bringing this to the main hall, Immortal Lord Wen Zhen, Wen Xing, and Niu Kai would deny everything.

But in order to have some peace and quiet later and fewer troubles, he had to do this.

"I… I didn't bring it!" Wen Xing said, his Face pale, gritting his teeth.

"Hahaha… You didn't bring it? Good, that's a nice excuse. A life-saving Talisman gifted by a powerhouse in the Divine Wheel Realm, and you didn't carry it with you… Very good, you have a lot of confidence in your own strength!" Xiao Fan laughed loudly.

Immortal Lord Wen Zhen was so angry that he gritted his teeth. Xiao Fan had deliberately emphasized the three words "Divine Wheel Realm."

He did this to remind everyone that a Talisman refined by a Divine Wheel Realm powerhouse was so precious and meant for saving one's life; would Wen Xing really not carry it with him?!

At this point, there was no need for proof… Everyone knew that what Xiao Fan said must be true!

It was Wen Xing and Niu Kai who conspired to kill Xiao Fan… but ended up being suppressed instead!

"Xiao Fan, you… you are spouting nonsense!" Wen Xing gritted his teeth viciously.

"Shut up!" Immortal Lord Wen Zhen scolded coldly, furious.

He had lost, completely lost…

At this point, continuing to quibble would only lower his own status.

Wen Xing, that brainless fool, wasn't careful enough before acting and had revealed so many flaws…

On the main hall, no one was a fool… except for Niu Kai and Wen Xing.

How could the Palace Master of Kongchen Palace and the Elders not see through this?

Right now, the Palace Master of Kongchen Palace was not continuing the discussion because he was considering the Face of Immortal Lord Wen Zhen and did not want to make him too embarrassed.

But if Wen Xing continued to argue, the Wen Family would lose even more Face.

Targeting a small Disciple who had just joined Kongchen Palace and still failing repeatedly was too shameful…

"Old Ancestor, I…" Wen Xing's Face was livid; he hadn't expected the Old Ancestor to suddenly get angry and rebuke him.

"Shut up!" Immortal Lord Wen Zhen said coldly, scaring Wen Xing into silence, not daring to make another sound.

Xiao Fan sneered. He looked at Immortal Lord Wen Zhen, clasped his hands in a salute: "Elder Wen Zhen, this Disciple has just joined Kongchen Palace and does not understand some of the rules… If I have offended the Wen Family, this Disciple is willing to apologize. Even if you say the word, Elder Wen Zhen, this Disciple is willing to commit suicide on the spot to apologize… But…"

"Being repeatedly persecuted by fellow Disciples while out performing missions for the Palace makes this Disciple feel disheartened…"

"Furthermore, while my death is a small matter, if it delays the completion of the Palace's missions… that is a great crime!"

"…"

Xiao Fan spoke with sincerity, every word hitting the mark, making Immortal Lord Wen Zhen so angry that smoke was practically coming out of his orifices; he wished he could slap Xiao Fan to death!

But despite this, Xiao Fan's attitude was sincere, and he spoke in a humble tone, leaving Immortal Lord Wen Zhen with no excuse to attack.

Furthermore, Xiao Fan's words caused the Palace Master of Kongchen Palace and the various Elders to turn livid… and they all cast unkind gazes toward Wen Xing.

Especially Immortal Lord Yulong, who wished he could slap Wen Xing to death!

Xiao Fan was performing missions for Kongchen Palace, yet he was repeatedly persecuted… The Wen Family had indeed gone too far.

"You… are not at fault." Immortal Lord Wen Zhen let out a breath, trying hard to calm himself down, and said in a deep voice: "This matter is due to my failure to discipline my descendants…"

At this point, Immortal Lord Wen Zhen could not afford to be aggressive, as that would only cause him to lose Face.

Going along with what Xiao Fan said to stop the losses in time was the most important thing.

"The Elder is not at fault; the fault lies with the Disciple…" Xiao Fan bowed again with clasped hands.

Immortal Lord Wen Zhen gritted his teeth in anger; this guy Xiao Fan was too hateful…

Wen Xing and Niu Kai's Faces were livid. Since Immortal Lord Wen Zhen had admitted to failing to discipline them, they were finished…

"Alright, Xiao Fan, you have been wronged in this matter. Rest assured, such incidents will not occur again within Kongchen Palace." Seeing this, the Palace Master of Kongchen Palace spoke slowly.

"Many thanks, Palace Master!" Xiao Fan looked at the Palace Master of Kongchen Palace and bowed with clasped hands.

Immortal Lord Wen Zhen's expression was gloomy, and he remained silent…

"Alright, Xiao Fan, you may leave. Wen Xing and Niu Kai will definitely be severely punished later." The Palace Master of Kongchen Palace said.

"Yes, this Disciple obeys!" Xiao Fan nodded in agreement, then bowed with clasped hands to the Palace Master of Kongchen Palace, and then bowed to the various Elders of Kongchen Palace; he even bowed to Immortal Lord Wen Zhen…

"Elder Wen Zhen, this Disciple will take his leave!"

Immortal Lord Wen Zhen: "…"

"Leave…" Immortal Lord Wen Zhen was about to go crazy with anger!
