Douluo: This Legend of the Dragon King is not quite right

Chapter 271 Deputy Tower Master Han Tianyi
At this point, Qian Gu Dongfeng abruptly changed the subject, his gaze suddenly sharpening as he pierced Lu Jun, the center of the storm:

"However... there's no smoke without fire. Shrek Academy and Tang Sect are, after all, behemoths with a history spanning millennia and profound foundations."

"Their choice to use the shocking and easily exposed charge of transforming a divine artifact into a human to spread rumors about Lu Jun... isn't that too hasty?"

"Aren't they afraid of shooting themselves in the foot? What if..."

The sound of the ancient east wind was drawn out, carrying a deep sense of probing and doubt.

"What if they're not entirely lying? What if they really do possess some crucial information about Lu Jun's identity that we don't know about?"

These words instantly made the atmosphere in the conference room even more delicate.

Countless gazes once again focused on Lu Jun, their scrutiny even more intense, their greed, fear, and inquiry more blatant.

Just then, an elderly man with a effeminate demeanor, sitting diagonally opposite Leng Yaozhu, slowly spoke.

“I wholeheartedly agree with what the Tower Master has said.”

His voice wasn't loud, but it had a peculiar penetrating power, as if it could directly affect a person's spirit.

This is Han Tianyi, another deputy tower master of the Spirit Pagoda, renowned for his unparalleled spiritual power across the continent.

"Where there's smoke, there's fire. Even if the Tang Clan and Shrek Academy are domineering, they wouldn't make baseless accusations. They wouldn't frame a junior with such a horrifying charge unless... they truly possess something that makes them so certain."

His gaze finally settled on Leng Yaozhu, carrying a hint of barely perceptible sharpness:

“Deputy Tower Master Leng, everyone has the heart to protect their disciples. But this matter is of great importance, concerning the divine artifact, the safety of the continent, and even more so the reputation and stance of our Spirit Transmission Tower.”

"If I may be so bold as to ask, what is your disciple, Lu Jun..."

Han Tianyi's voice suddenly became louder, like a heavy hammer striking.

"Are you really fully aware of his background? Or have you explained it clearly to everyone?"

In an instant, all the pressure pressed down on Leng Yaozhu as if it were a tangible force.

Standing next to Lu Jun, Leng Yulai clenched her fists instantly, her nails almost digging into her palms, and her gaze toward Han Tianyi was filled with anger and worry.

Leng Yaozhu took a deep breath, facing countless questioning gazes, her face still maintaining a cold mask, but Lu Jun keenly noticed that her fingers, which were folded under the table, curled up almost imperceptibly.

Is it cold?

He remembered that the old man's martial soul was the Brain, and he had once been a member of the Body Sect, holding the status of one of the Four Spirit Transmission Envoys in the original work.

Unexpectedly, he has now transformed into one of the three deputy tower masters, and his cultivation level is very high, already at level ninety-eight. According to the analysis of the Divine Eye, he also has a four-word battle armor.

Seeing this, Lu Jun lowered his head even further, and no one noticed the faint icy blue light in his eyes.

Is this guy on the same side as the Qian Gu family?

“Since Deputy Tower Master Han has asked, then I will tell you again.” Leng Yaozhu’s voice was calm and unwavering, as if she were recounting a story unrelated to herself. “Many years ago, I was ordered to go to the far north to carry out a secret exploration mission.”

"On the way back from the mission, I found him in the edge of a blizzard-ravaged area."

Her gaze fell on Lu Jun, tinged with a complex emotion:
"He was just a baby then, abandoned in the freezing cold, barely breathing and almost frozen."

"The surrounding area was desolate and uninhabited, with only endless ice and snow." "I couldn't bear it, so I brought him back. After bringing him back to the Spirit Pagoda, I took good care of him. As for why he didn't freeze to death in the far north, I guess it's because the quality of the martial spirit hidden in his body is very high, which can protect him and help him survive in the extreme cold."

"Until he was six years old, I took him to awaken his martial soul. It turned out that my guess was correct. That power was his innate martial soul, the ultimate ice."

"It was this powerful martial spirit essence that protected him and allowed him to survive that desperate situation."

"Hehehe..." Han Tianyi let out a low, ambiguous laugh, but his eyes became even sharper, as if he had his eyes fixed on his prey.

“Deputy Tower Master Leng, your story sounds plausible at first glance. But upon closer examination, it’s full of holes.”

He suddenly stood up, his gaze fixed on Leng Yaozhu, his voice rising abruptly:
"First of all, what kind of parents would be so cruel as to abandon an infant with an ultimate ice martial soul, a peerless genius, in the deadly far north? This is illogical!"

"Secondly, even if there was abandonment, how could an infant with no ability to protect itself, relying solely on its unawakened martial soul origin, remain unharmed in a blizzard in the core region of the far north, until you happened to discover it?"

"The probability is lower than finding a needle in a haystack. In the end, third place!"

Han Tianyi turned around abruptly, pointing her finger directly at Lu Jun, who had been standing silently as if detached from the situation, her voice filled with a strong accusation:
"Everything went too smoothly, so smoothly that it was like...like an invisible hand had meticulously arranged the script."

"You have delivered a seed with unparalleled talent and a mysterious origin to me, Leng Yaozhu, right before me, to the core of my Spirit Pagoda!"

His gaze was like a sharp blade, attempting to pierce through Lu Jun's calm:
"Young friend Lu, what do you think? Is your background really as simple as your teacher said?"

"You have absolutely no doubt that you were able to survive that desperate situation?"

Han Tianyi was aggressive, intending to drag Lu Jun into the center of the vortex.

However, Lu Jun simply stood there quietly.

Faced with Han Tianyi's almost pointed question, his handsome face remained completely calm.

He calmly met Han Tianyi's gaze, his eyes so deep they seemed to encompass everything, yet also like he was looking at an insignificant clown.

They completely ignored Han Tianyi's existence.

It was as if the other party's impassioned questioning was just a gentle breeze brushing past my ear.

"you……"

Being so blatantly ignored, Han Tianyi's face instantly turned a deep shade of liver, and a surge of anger rushed to her head.

As the deputy tower master of the Spirit Pagoda, his spiritual power was unparalleled on the continent and he was hailed as the number one spiritual power master in the Spirit Pagoda. How could he have ever suffered such humiliation?

Especially since it was done by a junior!
"Deputy Tower Master Leng, please explain."

Han Tianyi almost roared as he turned to Leng Yaozhu, trying to unleash his anger on her.

Leng Yaozhu glanced coldly at Han Tianyi, her gaze filled with biting chill and undisguised contempt:
"I have nothing to explain. This is just how Lu Jun came to be."

"He doesn't have any earth-shattering secrets. He's upright, honest, and has a clear conscience. It's some people, on the other hand..."

Leng Yaozhu's gaze fell on Han Tianyi.

"His heart is filthy and corrupt, he sees everything as a conspiracy and trickery, his mind is full of petty scheming, and he thinks that everyone in the world is like him. Ha, that's how it is."
