Chapter 298: You took my things.

Planet Eye flew at full speed, especially since it had almost copied the technology and data of humans. With its characteristics, almost everything could be copied.

Its speed was already fast, and coupled with the psionic thruster, its peak speed could now reach ten kilometers per second.

​ 

Of course, the premise was that it was undisturbed and had a longer period of acceleration.

In about a few minutes, he reached the place where the accident had occurred.

Several disciples of the God Dragon Division were ringing some people with looks of indignation.

“Senior brother, you’re finally here! These people are bullies!”

“You must avenge Sister Han; these people are truly shameless. They obviously provoked us first, but now they’re blaming us.”

“I’ll deal with it naturally. Calm down.” Su Bai waved his hand to pacify the outraged disciples and walked over to Han Wei’s side.

“Are you alright?” he looked at the woman and asked.

Han Wei shook her head and replied slowly, “I’m fine, but my dragon was killed by them. Its level dropped to a peak commander.”

Upon hearing this, Su Bai slowly turned his head and glanced at the ten or so people who were arrogantly facing them off.

“Su Bai, right? As a chief disciple, how will you compensate us? The Alliance said that internal fighting isn’t allowed. Whoever finds the treasure first can get to keep it. The moment our front foot killed the monster, you came to pick up the bargain. This is bullying us ordinary Pet Tamers.

“Today, if you don’t give us an explanation, I’ll post the video online even if it means my death. That way, everyone will see how your gym bullies fellow Pet Tamers.”

Seeing Su Bai looking over, a tall and thin man leading the opposing group spoke with a display of indignation.

His name was Gao Sheng, the captain of an eight-star hunting team, the Alpine Hunters, and his teammates were standing next to him.

“He gave up on it. When we came here, we didn’t see them at all. We waited for a long time and even called, but no one called back. Just when we went to pick the spiritual fruits, they appeared and attacked us. Senior Sister Han’s ancient dragon was killed without them saying a word!” a female disciple stood up and said indignantly.

“B*llsh*t! You called? Where’s the evidence?”

Gao Sheng sneered. “Yulong Gymnasium really knows how to bully people. Forget about not admitting to stealing the treasure, you can still play the blame game. I have proof here; where’s yours?”

“You… You’re framing us; this was premeditated!”

The disciples of the God Dragon Division were furious and indignant, but they did not have any evidence to prove their claim at all.

Su Bai squinted his eyes and glanced at Gao Sheng, knowing in his heart that it was aimed at him and that they had ill intentions.

“What exactly happened?” he turned to look at Han Wei and asked softly.

“It’s similar to what the others said; they framed us, saying that I took one of their sovereign Plum Blossom Woodgrain Fruits, but we never saw it at all. I’m sure that there’s none here. They’re just saying that because they want to discredit us.”

Also feeling very aggrieved, she explained, “I’m really not lying, senior brother. We didn’t see that fruit they’re talking about. I can be hypnotized and you can go ahead and search me for that fruit. I can let you view my most recent memory, too.”

Han Wei seemed to be afraid that Su Bai would not believe her and added that quickly.

Memory was a person’s most private thing; it was the dignity and bottom line of being a person, especially to a girl.

However, without another choice as there was no existing record of her claim, she could only prove her innocence this way.

“Hypnotize and search you? Share your most recent memory? I’m afraid that it’s just an excuse you’ve come up with. Memories can always be faked.”

Gao Sheng sneered, his tone turning aggressive and his words sounding extremely threatening.

“Shut up! Did I allow you to speak?”

Su Bai turned his head abruptly and glared at the man with a pair of murderous black eyes.

His mental power oppressed Gao Sheng, making the latter’s face turn pale and take three steps back with a muffled snort.

“I was wondering why so many people were gathered here; it turns out that Yulong Gymnasium was bullying others. I’ve long heard that the people of that gym consider everyone else beneath them; indeed, it’s the truth.

“Especially that chief disciple, he’s even openly threatening ordinary Pet Tamers. It’s really quite the privilege.”

At this time, a group of people riding light attribute Single-horned Lions appeared from the gray mist in the distance.

The one in front was riding a six-winged Holy Light Single-horned Lion. The Pet Tamer was a tall, young man with blond hair, and he was also the one who had just spoken.

“It turns out to be Young Master Tang Shan of the Tang Group. I heard that that corporation is kind and charitable and is the model in the industry. This time, young master, you must call the shots for us. Yulong Gymnasium is really going overboard!”

When he saw people approaching, Gao Sheng quickly ran over and complained, revealing an extremely aggrieved appearance. It was as if all the people of Yulong Gymnasium were evil.

“Su Bai, this is obviously your fault. A gym at the pinnacle shouldn’t behave as such; how could you suppress ordinary Pet Tamers—”

“Who are you?” Su Bai impatiently cut off Tang Shan.

“You… Very well! You’re really crazy enough. I’m going to see how long you can remain arrogant!

“Let me see how your gym oppresses ordinary Pet Tamers. As for today’s incident, consider me involved!”

His words instantly angered the other, and an expression of anger appeared on the latter’s face as if he was in the right.

Seeing this, Han Wei’s face changed, and a cold sweat dripped down her back.

She knew that while this seemed to be about her, it was actually a disguised attack against their God Dragon Division’s chief disciple. If this problem was not resolved, Su Bai’s reputation would be ruined.

She must never let this happen and must not let herself negatively affect his reputation.

At this point, she did not care about her loss. She immediately stood up, took a deep breath, and turned to Gao Sheng. “I didn’t do it. You know that better than anyone else.

“Since you’re bent on framing us, why don’t we go to the Alliance center and let the jury use hypnosis or memory detection on us two to see who is actually lying? Do you dare?

“Since you said that I’ll surely revise my memory, let all the disciples present, including all of you, check their memories. Let’s see who’s telling the truth; how about that?”

“Exactly! We all dare to do so, so do you dare?”

“If you have the guts, let’s take the examination together to see who are the real bullies!”

“You said that Senior Sister Han is untrustworthy. It should be believable if all of us have our memories tested, right?”

As soon as she said that, the disciples, who had just been feeling very aggrieved, also stood forward.

When he heard the woman’s remarks, Gao Sheng showed an undaunted look as he expressed his grievance and indignation. It was as though he was silently mourning the inequality in this world.

“Everyone, do you hear what they said? It’s illegal to look at other people’s memories. It’s ridiculous that they actually want to use this as evidence.

“It seems that their gym really regards the Alliance as their own. I’m afraid that they’ve already arranged for the people inside and outside to conspire together, right?

“Maybe when we go in for the examination, our memories will be wiped and we’ll become a fool once we are investigated.

“I finally understand the world! Yes, you’re amazing; I really can’t provoke the rich and powerful. We don’t want this spiritual fruit anymore; we just ask you not to trouble us anymore. I don’t want to die!”

“Yes, we can’t afford to provoke them! How can ordinary people like us compete with their gym, which has been passed down for a hundred years? Come on; let’s go…”

The people of the Alpine Hunters all showed sad and angry expressions, riding their pets into the gray fog and disappearing.

“You can’t go! I didn’t take your things at all…”

Han Wei moved to chase them, her usually cold temperament now gone. She was so anxious that her eyes went red at this time. She knew that, once those people left, she really could not wash herself clean.

“Why? You already stole our treasure, yet now you’re planning to take our lives!”

At this time, Tang Shan held high the banner of justice. “Aren’t your tactics too unsightly? I’ll definitely take charge of this matter today.”

Su Bai pulled back Han Wei and patted her on the shoulder lightly. “Don’t feel burdened by this; this is just a minor setback on the way forward.”

After comforting her, he slowly turned his head and looked at Tang Shan. He stared until the other felt uncomfortable before slowly opening his mouth. “You have to know that once you do some things, you will have to pay the price for it.”

“Hahahaha! I’m so scared. So far, there’s been no price I couldn’t afford to pay! Please hurry up and let me see what the price is, Brother Su Bai!”

Hearing his statement, Tang Shan could not help but laugh loudly. He made an extremely scared expression, but his face was full of mockery.

“I will.” Su Bai stared at the man and nodded.

“Please make me pay as soon as possible, then.” The other sneered and left with his people.

For a while, only the disciples of the God Dragon Division were left in this area.

“Senior brother, this is clearly slander. I’m sorry! I’m so sorry…”

Han Wei squatted with tears streaming down her face.

“I know and I don’t care. These are spiritual fruits. Hurry up and nurture your ancient dragon pet; I still need you.”

He patted the lady on her shoulder lightly. “Such conspiracy is something you can’t defend yourself against or block at will. That’s why let’s just continue doing our things.”

“Thank you.” Han Wei shook her head. She felt too guilty and did not take the spiritual fruits that he handed over.

“Let them do whatever they want online and stop minding it. They’re just a bunch of fools.” Su Bai shook his head.

“Yes!” The disciples nodded in agreement.

He took Han Wei and the rest back to the gathering place. Ouyang Du and He Yu walked over. Their hearts sank upon seeing their state. It was obvious that things had not panned out well.

“No, I’m going to make a record of the earlier incident.” Han Wei’s expression changed and she walked quickly into the room. No matter what, she must speak up, or else she would really be completely discredited.

“Let’s go, too. We mustn’t let them reverse right from wrong.”

The other disciples, who were involved in this matter, all stood up. How could they let those people slander them?

“Senior brother, what happened?” asked Ouyang Du and He Yu.

They still did not know the details.

“It’s like this…” Su Bai went through the incident, obviously feeling very vexed.

“This was definitely deliberately aimed at you. We must inform the PR to change the public opinion on the Internet. Otherwise, this matter will be taken seriously. I’ll go find someone to deal with it.” He Yu’s face changed, and she quickly turned around to find someone who could handle the issue.

“Tell the disciples to be careful, especially if you have a very close relationship with me. Someone might target you,” Su Bai looked at them and said in a solemn voice.

“I understand.” Ouyang Du nodded. “Senior brother, Zi Wuji has already acquired foreign aid and is now being utterly unscrupulous. I don’t believe that this incident has got nothing to do with him.

“They’re using underhanded means to cut us off and to destroy your reputation completely. If everyone ends up cursing you, winning will become useless. The gymnasium won’t allow a notorious person to be the curator.

“Their hearts are really dark; they don’t even care about the gym’s reputation.”

Su Bai took a deep breath and looked in the direction of the Giant Dragon Division. He felt that Zi Wuji was standing in a place he could not see and was silently mocking him.

He hated messy things the most. In the face of such a situation, he preferred solving the problem directly. Zi Wuji was truly forcing his hands.

“All the disciples must bring Electromagnetic Satellite Monsters with them at all times when they go out. Record everything and notify me if anything happens,” he instructed.

In fact, what had happened this time was not such a big issue. What of there being the so-called Plum Blossom Woodgrain Fruit and what of Han Wei picking it?

What of her snatching it?

Things like that would happen every now and then. They claimed it as theirs but did not grab it.

However, the problem was that Han Wei was a disciple of a well-known gym. They wanted to use this fact to make a fuss, arousing the hatred of ordinary Pet Tamers toward Su Bai and Han Wei.

Such a thing was like playing a game. If ordinary people surrendered, cursed, or even said something wrong, it would be alright.

However, if professional players and anchors did the same, public opinion could directly drown them, and those leading the momentum could completely destroy their reputation.

The annoying thing was that they could not refute it and could only find a way to apologize.

Shaking his head, Su Bai decided not to think about this matter for now as he had to settle something else first. He originally wanted to invite Chen Ruoxue, but now, he decided to go alone and get it done quickly.

He would improve his strength and see who dared to conspire against him secretly.

“Keep an eye on the situation here; I’ll go out for a while,” he turned to Ouyang Du and said.

“Don’t worry. I will keep my eye on everything and won’t let anything happen.”

Ouyang Du nodded quickly.

Su Bai stepped on Planet Eye and turned into a stream of light, which flew away.

Ah Bai, they’re so hateful! You should’ve just killed them all as that’s blatant slander! Purple Jade huffed angrily.

“Roar!” Humans are so troublesome. Since they dared to slander me, I’d kill them directly! Why didn’t you let me kill them earlier? Those guys aren’t too strong; I can destroy them all easily.

Little Tyrant also felt aggrieved and indignant.

“The matter would become really difficult to explain if we killed those people.” Su Bai shook his head. “Humans are indeed troublesome and I’m also very irritated about it.”

“Roar~” Are you going to do that? asked Little Blood Dragon.

“Yes, I found a suitable space crack.” He nodded. “When it’s completed, I believe that your strength will improve by a lot.”

“Roar~” I think so, too! Your idea is too wonderful! The dragon nodded.

Without any obvious expression on his face, Su Bai looked up at the gray mist rolling in the sky. It was easy to dodge the spear in the open but hard to avoid a stab in the dark. He could not be involved in such things. His priority now was to improve his strength.

He might be unable to beat Zi Wuji at present, but after a while, it could not be said for sure, especially since the Sea Abyss was a great opportunity to improve his strength.
