Chapter Text
The luxurious hall packed with cultivators some who looked disgusted by the man who they were about to judge and some who were just here for the show . Shen Qingqiu knelt ready to receive his judgement .
" Shen Qingqiu , do you plead guilty " asked Old Palace Master .
Before Shen Qingqiu could respond , Yue Qingyuan suddenly spoke " why don't we just search his memories to see he truly committed those crimes "
The statement caused an uproar among the cultivators as some had heard his reputation and had already believed the accusation against Shen Qingqiu .
" that is true , it will not be fair if we punished an innocent man" said a monk.
"alright then " agreed the Old Palace Master as he did not want others to think badly of him even though he so badly wanted to dispose of Shen Qingqiu .
" bring the memory orb " said Old Palace Master to Gongyi Xiao who immediately went to fetch the orb .
After Gongyi Xiao brought back the memory orb , it was immediately used on Shen Qingqiu making him faint , just as they thought the orb was not working a large holographic screen appeared .
-----------
A little nine tailed fox cub who was covered in blood was seen limping as he tried to get to a cave , it was clear it had escaped from someone cruel enough to hurt animals .
-----------
"i thought this was meant to show his memory " said a ∪random cultivator.
" it seems that Shen Qingqiu is the fox " said Gongyi Xiao .
This statement caused an uproar among the cultivators who shocked to learn that Shen Qingqiu wasn't human . Murmurs could be heard from the curious Cultivators discussing the situation .
" what ! he is not human " .
" i knew it is not normal for someone likewise a man to look that beautiful " .
' it's seems i don't know Shizun that well ' thought Luo Binghe with curiosity as he continued to watch the scene that was showing on the screen .
-----------
After settling in a cave , the fox cub transformed back into a adorable cute but malnourished child looking about eight wearing a white dirty thin robe.
-----------
" I can't believe such a cute thing is now a hateful person " said Qi Qingqi
" and a ungrateful one as well " said Qiu Haitang
-----------
Suddenly a group of men ran by the cave clearly looking for the nine tailed fox as it is a precious but almost extinct animal.
After managing to escape the men , the child immediately ran back to what looked like a market place , then entered an alley way , meeting up with a young boy who seemed older than him .
" Xiao Jiu where were you i was worried " said a boy who looked like Yue Qingyuan with a worried expression
-----------
" Sect Master Yue is that you " said Old Palace Master
" yes" replied Yue Qingyuan
" i knew you two know each other but i didn't realize you two were this close" said Qi Qingqi with a shocked expression
' it seems they were quite close once ' thought Luo Binghe
-----------
" Qi Ge don't worry they quite easy to trick " said Shen Jiu
" alright , then let's go before they decide to come back and start questioning people ' said Yue Qi
" okay" agreed Shen Jiu
the two boys immediately left the area and ran to another part of the city , they went to a brothel and entered through a back door.
" A Jiu what happened why do you look so injured " said Mei Hua with a worried expression .
" it was those stupid hunters always trying to captured what does belong to them" responded Shen Jiu
" alright then come lets get you treated " said Mei Hua
" if you insist " said Shen Jiu
The Next Day
As Shen Jiu and Yue Qi settle near the street to start begging , they see a child who was about to get crushed by an incoming carriage , which immediately made Yue Qi jump in to save him which made the horses of the carriage go wild startling the person in the carriage.
Seeing the situation Shen Jiu acted fast and pulled Yue Qi and the child away from the place. after getting to a save place Shen Jiu immediately scolded Yue Qi
" Are you crazy , why did you interfere , do you realize we are big trouble because of you" said Shen Jiu with an angry expression .
" Sorry Xiao Jiu , he was in trouble i couldn't just stand by and watch, that why " said Yue Qi
" well now we are both in trouble do you realize that was young master Qiu 's carriage " said Shen Jiu
-------------
" i wonder why they are acting like seeing your brother carriage is a bad thing i thought you said he was a kind person" asked Qi Qingqi .
" i don't know " said Qiu Haitang
" we should speed up the memory to where we need to see we can't really watch his entire life " said a monk
" that's true , speed it up to where he burned the Qiu House down " said Old Palace Master to Gongyi Xiao who did a series of hand signs which made the memory fast forward.
" Young Master is there anything this slave can help you with " asked Shen Jiu in fear.
" Yes , strip " ordered Qiu Jianluo with a smirk .
" what " said Shen Jiu with a shocked expression .
" are you deaf i said strip don't make me do it myself" said Qiu Jianluo with an angry expression due to Shen Jiu questioning his words .
Shen Jiu eyes widen as he realized what Qiu Jianluo was going to do to him and immediately tried to run but got caught by Qiu Jianluo who threw unto the bed and started to tear Shen Jiu clothes as Shen Jiu struggled, accidentally scratching Qiu Jianluo face in the process making Qiu Jianluo slap Shen Jiu in anger .
-----------------
" what is this Qiu Haitang " screamed Qi Qingqi in shocked and terror at watching an underage boy about to get raped .
" this this can't be true , brother would never do that " stammered Qiu Haitang in shock as she didn't expect that this was the truth of what really happened .
" then Miss Qiu it seems you are quite ignorant and foolish " said Yue Qingyuan with anger as he sees what Shen Jiu suffered with him not being able to quickly save him .
' Is this what Shizun suffered , that bastard if i get my hands on his soul I'll shred it to pieces for doing this to my beloved Shizun' thought Luo Binghe in anger .
-----------------
Due to the pain of the slap , Shen Jiu whimpers ,making it easier for Qiu Jianluo to fondle him, just as all hope seems lost to Shen Jiu , he suddenly spots a sword mounted on the wall ,and then turns into his demi human form shocking Qiu Jianluo which distracted him as Qiu Jianluo does not notice the fox tail grabbing the sword and swinging at him not allowing him to dodge it in time as it slices off both of Qiu Jianluo arms making him scream in pain.
With his hands cuts Qiu Jianluo stumbles back in pain as he tries to save himself from the swigging sword which slowing cuts him up. Before the sword could finish him off , Qiu Jianluo accidentally knocked against a candle stand making him burst into flames , due to the pain he stumbles around trying to extinguish the fire but accidentally lighting the room on fire which starts to spread.
Seeing the dire situation Shen Jiu couldn't help but burst into laughter at the sight of Qiu Jianluo in pain. Suddenly the flame seem to increase more drastically as if powered by a strong force.
---------------
" it seems Shen Qingqiu has entered Qi deviation " said Mu Qingfang with a grim expression
---------------
Due to Shen Jiu entering Qi deviation , he seemed to have lost his mind slaughtering the men in the mansion while muttering about rid the world of evil men . After killing all the men did he come back to his senses and realize what he had done and looked at his blood stained hands in horror .
