Chapter 564: Different From What Was Imagined!
Anyway, there were no powerful members of the Divine Sword School inside, so as long as I keep quiet and have nothing to do with it, nobody will have any evidence.
Situ Liuyun's eyebrows slightly furrowed. Su Yi, on the other hand, answered calmly without any sign of surprise, as if what he said was indeed true.
"Dark Spirit Fruit Tree and Dark Spirit Fruits, where are they? According to the information I received, they have all been uprooted by you. What can you say now?"
Situ Liuyun stared at Su Yi, remembering the Dark Spirit Fruit Tree, and couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.
The Dark Spirit Fruit Tree, that was a precious treasure of the Divine Sword School, oh my!
Situ Liuyun had initially planned to deal with Su Yi after the Grand Swordsmanship Competition, but Su Yi's outstanding performance in the competition left him unsure of how to handle the situation.
"Dark Spirit Fruits are indeed the ones I picked."
Su Yi nodded, realizing that it was probably impossible to hide the truth anymore. Xu Jiahui, Zhang Qing, and others had all consumed Dark Spirit Fruits. Experts from the Divine Sword School would likely be able to tell at a glance. If they continued to deny it, they wouldn't be able to hold on for long, and it might raise suspicions about other things as well.
"Why did you have to uproot the Dark Spirit Fruit Tree? It was a precious treasure, you know."
Situ Liuyun felt a deep pain in his heart. The Dark Spirit Fruits were such a precious treasure. Although they only benefited those in the Yuan Spirit Realm, the strong foundation they provided for future cultivation had immeasurable advantages.
"No one said we couldn't uproot it, right? Isn't it true that everything inside depends on one's abilities, including all the connections and opportunities?" said Su Yi.
"You little rascal, this is just being clever with your words."
Situ Liuyun felt helpless. Everything depended on one's abilities, but he didn't allow you to uproot the Dark Spirit Fruit Tree, you know.
"Besides, the Dark Spirit Fruit Tree is not a problem. I just moved it to a different place to grow, and the Dark Spirit Fruits it produces seem to be even better now," Su Yi said calmly as he looked at Situ Liuyun.
"Where did you plant it after moving to a different place?"
Upon hearing this, Situ Liuyun's eyes lit up with excitement. He saw the Dark Spirit Fruits on Situ Muyang's body with his own eyes. He was already curious, but now he knew that the Dark Spirit Fruits had even more impressive effects, which made him even more thrilled.
"In a hidden treasure land within the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, a place shrouded in mystery, if the sect leader doesn't believe, I can take you there to explore," Su Yi said earnestly.
Situ Liuyun sighed quietly. The Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords was already closed. It was a place that didn't open whenever anyone wanted. The next time the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords would open would be in another five years.
Su Yi's gaze flickered as he realized that the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords only opened once every five years. He figured that it wouldn't be easy to enter such a place. That's why he spoke in that manner.
As for what would happen five years later, that was a story for another time.
"Is there any problem with the Dark Spirit Fruit Tree?"
Unable to casually enter the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, Situ Liuyun had to make sure that the Dark Spirit Fruit Tree was safe and sound. Such a precious treasure must not encounter any unexpected incidents.
"Safely and soundly, without any problems at all, that sacred land is very mysterious, capable of making the Dark Spirit Fruit Tree grow even better."
Su Yi confidently answered, ensuring that this was indeed the case. He speculated that the Dark Spirit Fruits five years later would likely be of even higher quality.
"What about the Dark Spirit Fruits? All the Dark Spirit Fruits are with you. You alone cannot use so many, right?"
Situ Liuyun stared at Su Yi, now certain that all the Dark Spirit Fruits were in Su Yi's possession.
So many Dark Spirit Fruits were all in the hands of this young man, no wonder all the direct disciples were chasing after him.
"Yes, I can't eat them all by myself. Taking one is enough, but I don't know what to do with the rest," Su Yi said solemnly, pretending to be helpless.
Just listening to Su Yi's words, Situ Liuyun's eyes narrowed in anger. This young man was definitely doing it on purpose. Didn't he explain it clearly enough?
"With just one Dark Spirit Fruit, it is enough. Taking more of them doesn't bring any additional benefits, but it greatly benefits other fellow members."
Situ Liuyun said, "Now I think I've made it clear enough. The remaining Dark Spirit Fruits must be given to the other disciples."
"Yes, I gave a few to Situ Muyang, Xu Jiahui, Zhang Qing, and some others. I don't know who to give the rest to. There are still over ten outer disciples on the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak. I will distribute them to them when I go back. I believe Elder Su will agree," Su Yi said seriously and earnestly.
"Other outer disciples..."
Situ Liuyun was overwhelmed. Dark Spirit Fruits, what a precious treasure! Giving them to those ten-plus outer disciples, what a waste of such a valuable treasure!
Knowing Elder Su's temper well, Situ Liuyun thought to himself, Elder Su really knows how to protect his beloved Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak.
"Kid, are you doing this on purpose?"
Situ Liuyun finally understood. This young boy had been doing it on purpose all along. It was clear that he didn't want to give out the remaining Dark Spirit Fruits.
"I don't understand, the sect leader, what do you mean?"
Su Yi said, deep down, he couldn't help but understand. It was clear that they wanted him to hand over the remaining Dark Spirit Fruits.
Situ Liuyun said to Su Yi, "Bring out the remaining Dark Spirit Fruits, and I will convince the elders to share the great benefits of the Divine Sword School with you."
"Everything within the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords depends on one's own ability. It's all about one's own opportunities and destiny. The sect leader wouldn't force anyone, right?" Su Yi looked at Situ Liuyun and asked.
"Of course,"
Situ Liuyun nodded. Everything obtained within the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords naturally belonged to him.
"If the sect leader has no other instructions, I will take my leave," Su Yi said, politely bowing and turning to leave. "If the sect leader doesn't wish to give the so-called great benefits, then I don't want them either."
Wanting to hand over all the Dark Spirit Fruits in exchange for the so-called great benefits of the Divine Sword School, based on Su Yi's current understanding of Situ Liuyun, it seemed unlikely that even if he truly handed over all the Dark Spirit Fruits, he would be able to obtain it.
When the time comes and they haven't received the great benefits, losing the Dark Spirit Fruits would be the real big loss.
"..."
Situ Liuyun was a bit surprised. Everything seemed a little different from what he had imagined.
If it were any other disciple, they would have probably willingly taken out the Dark Spirit Fruits by now. However, this young boy before him behaved in a way that completely went against his expectations.
And this young boy shouldn't be obedient and submissive by now, right? How come everything seems to be beyond his control now...
"Boy, slow down."
As Situ Liuyun watched Su Yi's retreating figure, he had no choice but to call out to him.
"If the sect leader truly wants me to hand over all the Dark Spirit Fruits, I will have no choice but to comply."
Su Yi stopped and turned back, speaking to Situ Liuyun with a serious expression on his face.
This happened at the Divine Sword School. Faced with the sect leader of the Divine Sword School, if he was truly asked to give up all the Dark Spirit Fruits, he couldn't resist.
"Boy, don't provoke me with your words!"
Situ Liuyun glanced at Su Yi, his eyes twitching slightly.
He finally understood, no wonder all those inner disciples and direct disciples despised him so much, they were itching to teach him a lesson. Now, even he himself couldn't wait to kick him a few times.
"Speak honestly, tell me, what do I need to do in order for you to give up the remaining Dark Spirit Fruits?" Situ Liuyun took a deep breath, staring at Su Yi as he spoke.
