Chapter 4746: Character as a Promise

....

How could Xuan Jiuling have thought that Liu Buyan could be so calm in front of him, other than his outstanding willpower, the most important reason was that he had interacted with Huang Yueli and Li Moying too much.

In terms of strength alone, this couple was already not inferior to a top expert like Xuan Jiuling. It was just that their combat experience was slightly lacking.

Even though when the two of them faced Liu Buyan, they would restrain their own pressure but after spending so much time together, Liu Buyan didn’t feel anything special in front of top notch experts.

Xuan Jiuling slowly frowned.” You’re saying that my clansmen are slandering you? Then tell me, what is your relationship with Xuan Qingling? You’re not related to her, so why did you travel with her for so long? I heard that the two of you often live in the same room, alone. You don’t know how to avoid suspicion, and you dare to say that there’s no ambiguity?”

Liu Buyan was long prepared as he replied in a neither servile nor overbearing manner,” I’m travelling with Young Miss Xuan for a couple of reasons. For one, because she was poisoned and it would act up once every few days. I’ve received Young Miss Xuan’s grace in the past and was saved by her so it’s impossible for me to watch her suffer and leave on her own. The other reason…”

He paused for a moment and swept his gaze across the Black Tortoise Clan warriors behind Xuan Jiuling. The corners of his mouth curled into a mocking arc.

“Lord Divine General, aren’t you asking the obvious? The nobles have been hunting us down with the excuse that I have an affair with Young Miss Xuan. My cultivation is not even as good as Young Miss Xuan’s. If I were to separate from her, I would probably be caught in less than a day. At that time, I would die without knowing where I died. How could I take such a risk?”

“As for staying with Young Miss Xuan, it’s only because the poison in her basically acts up at night. I’m worried that something might happen. I sleep on the floor every day, I don’t dare to offend Young Miss Xuan!”

Xuan Jiuling frowned and pondered for a while.

He originally didn’t want to believe outsiders but Liu Buyan’s two reasons were really too reasonable. Even if it was him, he couldn’t find any room to refute.

But to have him believe in Xuan Qingling and Liu Buyan’s innocence, it also meant that his good friend Elder Qingguang had betrayed the clan…

Between an outsider and a good friend, who should he trust?

“Brat, do you think you can convince me with this kind of sophistry? What evidence do you have for saying these words? Moreover, even if you and Xuan Qingling didn’t cross the line, who can guarantee that you don’t have feelings for each other? You just said that Xuan Qingling saved your life…In that case, you two have known each other since a long time ago?

Xuan Qingling didn’t mention this to me just now! Don’t tell me that you’re hiding something from me?”

Liu Buyan pursed his lips,” This…Junior really can’t find any evidence. I can’t produce any evidence for this kind of thing. I can only guarantee it with my character…”

“Character guarantee?” Hearing this, Xuan Jiuling couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “If you were one of the few experts among the younger generation of the Ancient God Clan, I could still test your character. But you’re just a human. Judging from your talent, you’re just so-so. Why should I believe in your character?”

For a moment, Liu Buyan actually couldn’t say anything as his expression turned stiff.

When he was in the lower realm, he was also a top cultivator with outstanding talent. After arriving in the God Realm, he was looked down upon by others.

Even though the person who despised him was a dignified Divine General, he was still extremely ashamed and resentful.

At this moment, Huang Yueli suddenly spoke up: ” Lord Divine General, do you have any doubts about my Senior Brother’s character?”
