Chapter 19 The Dream
Gao Xingchen was struck by lightning, and his mind was buzzing. He looked at the stack of "evidence" in Lin Feng's hand and felt it was ridiculous, but he was powerless to refute it. He had never seen those papers, let alone the demon witch. This was clearly a frame-up!
"You are slandering me!" Gao Xingchen roared, his eyes red. "When did I collude with outsiders, and when did I steal the secret manual of my master? Show me the evidence!"
Lin Feng sneered and threw the paper in his hand to the ground casually, "The evidence is right here, take a look for yourself!"
Gao Xingchen looked down suddenly and saw that the papers were covered with dense handwriting. Although he couldn't see the specific content, he felt a chill in his heart. The handwriting was neat and powerful, and the strokes were sharp. It was clearly from his hand!
"This is impossible..." Gao Xingchen muttered to himself. He was sure that he had never written these things, but the words were so real that he could not deny it.
"What, you have nothing to say?" Lin Feng looked at Gao Xingchen complacently, his eyes full of ridicule and contempt, "I've said it before, a fellow like you who comes from a humble background is not worthy of staying in Qingyun Sect!"
Gao Xingchen's body trembled slightly. He clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his flesh, but he felt no pain at all. He raised his head and glanced at the suspicious, contemptuous, and angry faces around him, and his heart was cold.
"I believe Xingchen is not that kind of person!" Xuanfeng was the first to stand up and speak for Gao Xingchen. He walked to Gao Xingchen and said firmly, "We have seen what kind of person he is these days. He is devoted to his master and would never do such a thing!"
Ling'er also stood up to support Gao Xingchen. With red eyes, she said, "Senior Brother Lin Feng, you must have misunderstood something. Brother Xingchen will never betray his master!"
However, their voices seemed particularly weak amid the wave of doubts from the crowd. Lin Feng's accusations spread rapidly like a plague, surrounding Gao Xingchen.
"Enough!" Nan Li, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up. Her cold eyes swept over everyone, and her tone was filled with unquestionable majesty, "The right and wrong will be judged by the public. How can you be so irresponsible here!"
Nan Li's words were like a blast of ice, instantly freezing the noise in the hall. Everyone was silent, not daring to discuss anything.
"I believe in Xingchen." Nan Li walked to Gao Xingchen and gently held his hand. Her eyes were firm and gentle, as if silently telling him that no matter what happened, she would stand by him.
Gao Xingchen felt the warmth coming from his palm, and a warm current surged in his heart, but it was soon overwhelmed by endless bitterness. He knew that even if Nan Li believed him, he could not clear himself of suspicion because he had no idea how to explain all this.
Lin Feng's conspiracy succeeded, and he successfully pushed Gao Xingchen into the abyss.
At night, Gao Xingchen came to the martial arts training ground alone. He looked up at the twinkling stars in the night sky, his heart filled with confusion and pain. He once thought that as long as he worked hard enough, he could change his fate and realize his dream. However, reality gave him a hard blow, making him realize that he was still too naive.
"Am I really wrong?" Gao Xingchen murmured to himself. His voice echoed in the empty martial arts training ground, sounding particularly lonely and helpless.
The night was as cool as water, and the moonlight poured down like silver light, covering the martial arts training ground with a thin veil. Gao Xingchen stood alone in the middle of the field, letting the night wind blow his clothes, but it could not dispel the heavy haze in his heart.
He recalled every detail of his journey through time. From an unknown grass-roots boy to an inner disciple of Qingyun Sect, he knew how much effort he had put in. He longed for power and wanted to stand at the top of the world. For this dream, he could give everything. However, just when he thought he was getting closer to his dream, reality gave him a blow.
Lin Feng's frame-up left him speechless. The teachers and fellow students who had once placed high hopes on him now looked at him with suspicion. Gao Xingchen's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, making it hard for him to breathe.
"Am I really wrong?" Gao Xingchen whispered in a low voice, his voice full of confusion and pain. Is it destined to be trampled underfoot by others just because of humble origins? Is it really so difficult to change your fate?
Just when Gao Xingchen was at his most vulnerable, a mysterious voice suddenly sounded in his ears. The voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from the distant sky: "Child, don't give up, all this is a test..."
Gao Xingchen suddenly raised his head and looked around, but he didn't see anyone. He suspected that he was hallucinating, but the voice was so real, as if it was whispering in his ear.
"Who are you?" Gao Xingchen couldn't help but ask, "Why are you helping me?"
The voice was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "You don't need to know who I am, you just need to know that I believe in you. You have great potential in your body. As long as you persist, one day you will become the master of this star field!"
Gao Xingchen's heart was filled with turmoil. This voice seemed to know his identity and his dream. Could it be that all this was true? Could it be that he was not alone?
"But what should I do now?" Gao Xingchen asked. He felt like a small boat that had lost its direction, drifting on the rough sea.
"Don't be confused by the predicament in front of you. You must believe in your own judgment, and even more, believe in your own strength." The mysterious voice sounded again, "Remember, you are not fighting alone. One day, you will understand the meaning of all this..."
The voice gradually faded away and finally disappeared into the night sky, leaving Gao Xingchen standing there alone, lost in thought. He didn't know who this mysterious voice was, nor why the other party wanted to help him, but he knew that he couldn't be depressed like this any longer.
The mysterious voice was like a ray of light, illuminating Gao Xingchen's confused heart. He took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and his eyes gradually became firm. Yes, he couldn't be defeated like this. He had to stand up, prove his innocence, and realize his dream!
Gao Xingchen began to actively investigate the mastermind behind his frame-up. He secretly visited fellow disciples, collected clues, and tried to restore the truth of the matter. At the same time, he did not give up his reform plan. He believed that only by making Qingyun Sect stronger could he better protect himself and the people around him.
Nan Li, Xuan Feng and others were keenly aware of Gao Xingchen's changes. They saw the fire of hope rekindled in Gao Xingchen's eyes, and also felt the firmness and confidence emanating from him.
"Xingchen, I believe you." Nanli walked to Gao Xingchen, handed him a cup of tea, and spoke in a gentle but firm tone.
"We will all support you." Xuanfeng patted Gao Xingchen on the shoulder, his eyes full of encouragement.
Gao Xingchen looked at them gratefully. He knew that he was not fighting alone. He still had friends and a lover, who were his strong backers.
However, just when Gao Xingchen was about to start again, a letter of challenge from Lin Feng was delivered to him. Lin Feng asked him to duel on a mountain outside the sect to resolve the grudge between them.
Gao Xingchen looked at the challenge letter in his hand with mixed feelings. He knew that Lin Feng wanted to kill him. However, he also understood that this duel was unavoidable. This was his chance to prove his innocence and strength, and it was also the final end to the feud between him and Lin Feng.
Gao Xingchen took a deep breath, and a determined light flashed in his eyes. He accepted the challenge!
