Shu Yue also said frostily, "That's right. If you've got the guts, show the evidence!"
She had thought it was just Li Nao's false accusation without any real evidence. But then he showed a sinister smile, the corners of his mouth curving into a chilling arc, and gave a nonchalant snort.
"You mean the evidence? Fine, I'll satisfy you right now." With that, he clapped his hands. Everyone turned around and saw a thin and neatly - dressed man walking from afar.
Before the man got closer, Shu Yao's pupils instantly dilated. His mouth opened and closed, and he stammered two words: "It's him..."
"Dad, do you know him?" Shu Yue frowned, looking at this strange man in front of her and wondering about her father's rather unusual reaction.
"I..." Shu Yao hesitated. He didn't know how to tell what had happened that day.
"Master, this is the administrator of the pharmacy. He can prove that Shu Yao has brought disgrace to our sect." Li Nao brought the administrator in front of Kun Wu and said confidently, as if everything was under his control.
"Tell us what you know." A thin layer of frost seemed to cover Kun Wu's weather - beaten face. He stared at the administrator expressionlessly. The imposing pressure made the administrator swallow hard.
Getting another supportive look from Li Nao, the administrator summoned up his courage, pointed at Shu Yao, and said firmly, "That day, Shu Yao came to the pharmacy for medicine. Since there was no available medicine, I couldn't give it to him. Unexpectedly, he tried to seduce me with his beauty and asked me to get the medicine for him. He even said that he was willing to have that kind of relationship with me as long as I could get the medicine."
He spoke each word forcefully without blushing, but he didn't dare to look at Shu Yao.
"You..." Hearing this upside - down nonsense, Shu Yao was speechless.
The humiliation of that day was still vivid in his mind. Even if he tried to refute, he was afraid those people wouldn't believe him.
"You're talking nonsense! My father is definitely not such a person. He has always been law - abiding and low - key. He has always been the one being bullied. How could it be that he was the one who took the initiative to seduce you? Could it be that you bullied my father and then reversed the story?"
Shu Yue scolded angrily and immediately exposed this man's true colors. She didn't believe a single word he said!
Shu Yao was her father. She knew too well what kind of person he was. She also knew that he always acted cautiously in the world and dared not do anything rash.
Shu Yao was stunned. His eyes were filled with both gratitude and bitterness. He had thought that Shu Yue would believe this one - sided story, but unexpectedly, she chose to believe him without hesitation.
"Shu Yue, do you really believe me?" he asked again. He felt the hand holding his tighten. He could feel this man's firmness.
He saw her nod vigorously and answer without any hesitation, "From beginning to end, I only believe in you."
I only believe in you, not because I know you so well, but because you are the only one worthy of my trust and waiting.
Gradually, she looked at the solemn Kun Wu. Her voice was like pearls hitting the ground, calm but forceful as she said a few words, "Master, I believe in Shu Yao no matter who is right or wrong, who is good or bad. I just hope that master won't be blinded by false appearances."
These words sounded plain, but they somehow angered Kun Wu. His eyes turned cold, and he immediately said resolutely, "No more discussion. Shu Yao must leave Kunshan!"
"Master!"
"Silence! Shu Yue, you've said too much." Kun Wu's hoarse voice was calm, but it carried an inviolable dignity. He didn't allow Shu Yue to say another word.
Li Nao concealed his joy. Seeing so many people around, he dispersed the other Kunshan disciples, "Go and practice your kung - fu. Don't just stand here."
"Yes." The disciples scattered one by one, chatting as they left.
After the administrator left, the atmosphere became deathly silent. Kun Wu then said calmly, "Forget it. Don't say anything. Shu Yao, you can go."
He showed his cold profile, stroked his gray beard, and his cold eyes left no room for Shu Yao to stay.
Seeing that Kun Wu remained unmoved, Shu Yue suddenly knelt down on the ground and pleaded desperately. Her voice was a bit panicked, "Master, disciple begs you not to drive my father away. If you want to punish someone, punish me alone. Please don't let my father go."
She kowtowed several times. Her forehead was immediately broken on the hard ground. Her sobbing voice and crazy actions made Shu Yao quickly stop her. The pain in his eyes was obvious.
"Shu Yue, get up! Don't do this. I can't bear it." He swallowed the pain in his heart with difficulty. Thinking of the reluctance to part, his eyes were filled with tears.
His nose was sore. He tried hard to hold back. At least before leaving, he wouldn't shed a single tear in front of Shu Yue.
Although it was hard for him to leave, in the current situation, he had no choice but to leave Kunshan.
"Dad, I don't want you to go. I don't want you to leave me." Shu Yue tightly held his hand, grasping this only floating log she could rely on, grasping the most important person in her life.
However, she saw that Shu Yao, who usually didn't easily show his vulnerability in front of her, finally showed helplessness and pallor at this moment.
Those beautiful eyes that used to captivate her lost their former luster, only leaving behind a heart - breaking desolation.
Even though she didn't want to face it, she knew that Shu Yao's departure from Kunshan was inevitable.
Suddenly, she looked back at Kun Wu firmly, tightly holding Shu Yao's hand and resolutely stating her decision, "If master insists on driving my father away, then I'll leave with him. I'm just sorry that I won't be your disciple anymore."
"Shu Yue, you're being stupid!" Kun Wu was frustrated. He was very angry at Shu Yue's stubbornness.
Li Nao gloated on the side, "Shu Yue, you should thank the master for letting you stay in Kunshan. Why do you have to leave with Shu Yao?"
"Li Nao, you have no right to talk here!" Shu Yue gritted her teeth. Her eyes were blood - red, and her anger burned like fire, almost burning Li Nao's eyes.
Li Nao was a bit scared. He just pouted. Thinking that his goal had been achieved, he didn't say anything more.
However, Shu Yue felt the hand in her palm slip away silently. She looked down and saw that Shu Yao had pulled his hand out and took a step back, half an arm's length away from her.
"Shu Yue, I have to go. After all, I don't belong here," Shu Yao was almost out of breath because of the pain of parting, but he still pretended to be calm, with a sad and blood - like smile on his face. He said, "Let's part ways here."
"If you're going, I'll go with you!" Shu Yue was determined to leave with him. But as she lifted her foot, a golden light enveloped her, forming an unbreakable barrier that trapped her in place.
