CHAPTER 614: CHAPTER 214 HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN... HOW COULD THEY TREAT ME LIKE THIS... (6K)_2

Seeing this scene, Zhou Qing’s pupils suddenly contracted, looking towards the figures in the distant side path with disbelief.

At this moment, he only felt his scalp tingling, and a cold chill rushed from his feet to his heart.

Humans, how can they be so evil?

Just because you are well-known Third-level Array Masters, you use the teacher as a scapegoat to protect your own reputation?

Your reputation is important, but the teacher’s isn’t?

He respected you so much, but what did you take him for?

A pawn to be manipulated at will?

A shield to block all the accusations and insults at critical moments?

He worked so hard, spent his whole life to ascend to the third level, and should be brimming with hope for the future.

But if this Array really gets destroyed in his hands, it can be imagined that he would spend the rest of his life in endless self-blame and regret.

A bunch of hypocrites!

Zhou Qing was instantly filled with rage, his fists clenched so tightly they made cracking sounds.

Suddenly, a pair of hands gently patted his shoulders, and Second Uncle asked puzzledly, "What’s wrong? Why are you so angry?"

Looking at Second Uncle’s inquiring eyes, Zhou Qing felt that only he could be trusted now.

He immediately communicated the situation through divine sense.

Second Uncle listened, and his eyes were also full of disbelief.

"Are you sure?" Second Uncle asked.

Zhou Qing nodded affirmatively.

Second Uncle immediately frowned and looked at the vast array of runic imprints in front of them.

Having received the inheritance from a Fifth-level Array Master, Zhou Qing had never lied, and Second Uncle had no doubts.

Furthermore, with the importance of the vital area handed over to the teacher for the first time today, and the bizarre scene that followed, Second Uncle couldn’t help but overthink.

"It’s a blatant scheme, isn’t it? Do you have any solutions?" Second Uncle asked.

What could Zhou Qing do when he didn’t even know which of the eighteen crucial imprints were important?

If they were lucky, maybe they could get some new hints tomorrow.

Even if they did, he couldn’t guarantee that Master Lin could repair those ten imprints, unless—

Zhou Qing’s eyes lit up involuntarily.

He still had a Good Luck Charm, maybe it could help.

Although his previous plan was to wait and refresh an Enlightenment Sticker, hoping to stack the two buffs and understand Inscription Level Divine Techniques properly.

But plans couldn’t keep up with changes, and he couldn’t just watch such a gentle teacher destroy himself within these few days.

Faced with Second Uncle’s question, Zhou Qing didn’t dare to guarantee too much and only shook his head slightly, then looked at the surprisingly calm Second Uncle, and said, "Aren’t you angry?"

Second Uncle said, "What’s there to be angry about? If you had been in as many sects as I have and seen so much scheming, you would be used to it too."

Zhou Qing remained silent.

"So what now? Do we need to tell the teacher the truth?" Zhou Qing asked.

Second Uncle laughed, "Do you think he would believe in those two hypocrites, or us two young lads?"

Su Lishan and Wu Tiangang have been renowned in the Array Realm of the Holy Martial Dynasty for a long time, with highly respected statuses. Lin Daochen has always respected them, even looking up to them as seniors and role models.

He would rather believe that his own skills weren’t up to par than doubt others.

Zhou Qing anxiously said, "But we can’t just watch the teacher make another mistake, right? It’s obvious those two have turned this place into a mess, and following their repair methods would not only be futile but also accelerate the Array’s collapse."

Second Uncle remained silent for a moment and then said, "Of course, we can’t just sit idly by, but we also can’t act recklessly. We need a thorough plan."

As Second Uncle spoke, he quietly released his divine sense, watching the movements of Su Lishan and Wu Tiangang.

The key issue now was that Master Lin had already begun repairing here and had accidentally damaged a Spirit Seal.

If those two were to insist that this crucial Spirit Seal caused the entire Array to collapse, it would be hard to argue otherwise.

Plus, with Master Lin’s usual sincere and kind nature, he might just muddle through and take the blame.

By that time, it would be like mud dripping into the pants, whether or not it’s mud, it would be mud.

Moreover, those two had quietly repaired the Array for five years, earning high praises as diligent and esteemed seniors in the eyes of everyone.

As they had only been here a few days, and the Array was already in trouble, anyone would be more inclined to believe those two’s words.

When Lin Daochen also put down the jade slip recording repair methods, took a long breath, and prepared to resume repairing, Zhou Qing and Second Uncle almost instinctively reached out to stop him, but Second Uncle quickly retracted his hand before touching Master Lin’s shoulder.

"Teacher, stop repairing!" Zhou Qing said in a low voice.

Lin Daochen turned around, full of confusion, and asked gently, "What’s wrong?"

Zhou Qing was stunned for a moment and couldn’t help but look at Second Uncle.

But Second Uncle feigned the same "puzzled" look at him, with a sly glint in his eyes.

This left Zhou Qing speechless.

Second Uncle, although I discovered the problem, it’s not credit but a hot potato, can’t you help me a bit?

But facing Master Lin’s puzzled gaze, Zhou Qing took a deep breath, quickly calming himself down.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Teacher, repairing this is futile, this place is a trap."

"What do you mean? Explain it clearly," Lin Daochen still didn’t understand.

For a moment, Zhou Qing really couldn’t think of a reasonable explanation to make Lin Daochen immediately believe him.
