I didn't expect that I was the heartthrob.

Chapter 106 Framed

The sect competition began on the second day.

They are divided into groups A, B, C, D, etc. according to their individually reported cultivation level. Under the guidance of the outer disciples of Xuantian Sword Sect, they go to different groups to undergo trials of magic.

Gu Lan was assigned to Group B, which was the same group as Qiao Da.

Xu Fengxi, Xue Hao, and Meng Xin were assigned to Group D together with Guo Shu, Qiu Yin, and Qiu Guo.

Several disciples from Xuantian Sword Sect, Tianyan Sect, Shenyin Sect, Tianyin Sect, and Wanfo Sect, as well as some young students of famous teachers, were assigned to Group A.

The monks who are assigned to Group A will directly participate in the second stage of the competition.

As for Gu Lan and others, they did not group the sect into a group and put the entire group into Group B. Instead, they broke up the sect disciples and divided them into other groups.

As a result, Qianji Sect, as one of the major sects, was actually eliminated.

They could only be separated from other small sects and assigned to Group B, Group D and Group G.

After the groups were formed, everyone followed the guiding disciples in the square to the trial master.

The trial master is served by two disciples, one disciple is responsible for distributing the trial cards, and the other disciple is responsible for maintaining order.

The trial master will score the trial participants based on the effectiveness of their magic, and only select the top ten cultivators in the group. The remaining cultivators who fail to make the top ten will be eliminated.

Originally, everyone in the square was queuing up in an orderly manner, but suddenly, a quarrel broke out in Group B.

It turned out that Qiao Da from Group B was illiterate and could not understand the magic techniques handed to him by the young disciple, so he wanted to ask the disciple to read them to him.

But the disciple was very arrogant. He ignored Qiao Da's request and continued to distribute magic cards.

Qiao Da had no choice but to ask the people in front and behind him for help.

This question caused a big stir. The disciple thought that Qiao Da was cheating, so he dragged Qiao Da to the trial master and said that Qiao Da was cheating and wanted to disqualify him.

The trial master did not listen to Qiao Da's explanation and also determined that Qiao Da was cheating.

Qiao Da suddenly became angry, swung his big axe, knocked Narada's disciple to the ground, and then shouted angrily.

"How can you, your disciple, accuse others? I don't know the words on it, so I asked you for help, but you pretended to be deaf and ignored me. You asked others for help but accused me of cheating. Although I am a rough man, I behave properly and never do those things."

The trial master saw that his eyes were bloodshot and he looked extremely angry. He was also afraid that something might really happen and damage the reputation of the Xuantian Sword Sect, so he hurried forward to find out what was going on.

The young disciple stood up from the ground with grievance and pointed at Qiaodao Road.

“This man was acting furtively when he was handing out the cards, looking around all over the place. The disciples felt he was very suspicious the moment they saw him.

“But since they were all guests, it was difficult for me to say anything. When he distributed his cards, he tried to get close to me. I was already feeling dissatisfied, but he still wanted me to tell him what the magic was.

"The disciple will follow the master's orders. The interpretation of the technique is entirely up to the cultivator to comprehend on his own and no suggestions are allowed. Therefore, the disciple ignored him and walked away.

"But after walking a few steps, this monk started to ask the monks in front and behind him what the magic was. I couldn't stand it, so I pulled him over to argue with him. Unexpectedly, he beat me up."

The disciple felt aggrieved and spoke righteously, insisting that it was Qiao who was cheating.

The trial master frowned after hearing this, "Is what this disciple said true?"

Qiao Da has a stupid mouth.

He felt that what the disciple said was true, but not true. He was so angry that he was speechless and didn't know how to defend himself. He just kept saying, "It's unfair. This is really unfair to a good person. I asked what the magic moves were, but I didn't ask what the magic moves were..."

The more he spoke, the more excited he became. He kept talking over and over again, and his words became increasingly inarticulate. He was anxious and sad, his face turned red, and his hands were shaking.

At this time, Gu Lan, who had witnessed the whole process, stood up.

"Master Trialist, this must be a misunderstanding."

The trial master was looking down in deep thought and had not yet made any response.

At this time, a little girl came over. She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a ponytail and a sword on her back. She stepped forward from the crowd and stood out.

"Who are you?" asked the trial master.

"I am a cultivator from Group B waiting for the trial." Gu Lan bowed but did not reveal that he was a disciple of Qianji Sect.

"You said it was a misunderstanding. How is it a misunderstanding?"

The trial master pointed at Qiao Dadao and said, "This monk has admitted that he asked others for the techniques, but he later denied it. How can such a person be believed? How do you know that he is not lying?"

Gu Lan said, "If you think he cheated, there's no need to worry. Just tie him up now and disqualify him for cheating. But you didn't do that, so you must have some concerns."

When the trial master heard this, he stroked his beard and nodded. He did have some concerns.

This monk is big and strong, honest and simple, and he doesn't look like the kind of person who would be cunning and deceitful.

But since his disciple said so, he couldn't help but believe it. If he didn't believe his disciple, wouldn't it mean that his disciple was lying, and wouldn't that lose the prestige of Xuantian Sword Sect?

However, if I believe what my disciples say, the cultivator in front of me will definitely not give in. If the situation gets out of hand, wouldn't it be difficult to resolve?

Now that this female cultivator says this is a misunderstanding, we might as well go with the flow and listen to what she says.

"Then tell me about it," said the trial master.

Gu Lan cupped his hands, as a way of thanking the trial master for giving him the opportunity.

Then he said, "This cultivator just said that he is illiterate. He probably couldn't understand the spells and techniques on the cards, so he asked how to read the words on them. As for the spells and techniques, he probably didn't ask at all."

"That's it!" Qiao Da nodded excitedly. He knew it clearly in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud. He was anxious and wished he had a few more mouths to say it.

Gu Lan had just watched the whole process from the sidelines and listened to the conversations of both parties, so naturally he also saw the clues.

The young disciple was arrogant and disrespectful, and ignored Qiao Da. Later, he deliberately framed Qiao Da. He thought that Qiao Da had no support, so he could just make a few false accusations and drive him out.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Da still had a bad temper and knocked him to the ground.

Therefore, he was even more angry and spoke without thinking, falsely accusing Qiao Da of cheating.

Qiao Da could sense something was wrong in the words, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong and didn't know how to respond.

The trial master laughed after hearing this, "It turns out it was all a misunderstanding."

Seeing that the trial master believed it, Qiao Da quickly added, "It was indeed a misunderstanding."

The trial master walked up to Qiao Da, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "This little disciple is attending such a grand event for the first time, so he is inevitably a little overly cautious. This monk is obviously a magnanimous person, so he won't bother with him."
