I Only Stomp on Weaklings

Sun Shicai heard the words "master murder," his face changed dramatically, and he grabbed the servant by the collar, lifting him up angrily, "What did you say?"

The servant saw his ferocious expression and stuttered in fear, "No... no... it’s not... me... it’s... it’s..."

"Worthless."

Sun Shicai threw him out, with his face already returning to calmness, and said in a deep voice, "Let’s go, head to the Admiral’s Mansion and take a look."

The more tense the situation, the less one can panic.

If he didn’t go to the Admiral’s Mansion, wouldn’t others think he was guilty?

The tall man beside him uttered an "oh" and came to his senses, silently following behind him.

...

Sun Shicai sat in the carriage, his face showing no emotions, yet his heart was filled with shock and anger.

"If I had known earlier, I should have gone all out to silence Huo Qianqian and Zhang Mingyu..."

He mainly hadn’t expected the willful and spoiled little junior sister to become so patient, completely putting him off his guard.

And Zhang Mingyu, who usually couldn’t keep a secret, never showed any signs in front of him.

He thought these two were not a big threat, and killing them would be troublesome...

A moment of softness led to today’s grave mistake.

Unfortunately, regret now was too late.

Soon, he began contemplating his next move.

He has seen great storms and tides; though today’s situation is perilous, there’s still room for maneuver.

They have no evidence!

Plus, Yu Xiuming supports his statement...

Sun Shicai pondered the countermeasures, and soon, the Admiral’s Mansion was near.

The carriage stopped; ahead, a noisy clamor of voices was heard.

The coachman loudly reported, "Sir, there are too many people here, blocking the way, can’t get through."

"Get out of the carriage."

Sun Shicai opened the door and, indeed, saw many people crowded in front of the Admiral’s Mansion, completely blocking the road.

More people were continually coming, all to watch the excitement.

He couldn’t help but feel a bit startled.

Faintly, he heard a mournful voice, "...that Sun Shicai is monstrous, murdering the master, we ask Lord Zhao to uphold justice for us!"

Suddenly, everyone present was shocked.

Master murder! Such an appalling event has occurred in Qingfeng City, and the culprit is actually a Seventh-Grade Patrol Envoy of Six Gates.

Many people at the scene cursed, drowning out the previous voice.

The crowd was vehemently furious.

For some reason, witnessing the people’s intense reaction, Sun Shicai felt a pang of unease.

Though they were merely ordinary people, posed no true threat to him, and he usually didn’t consider them significant; yet, their united presence exerted tremendous psychological pressure on him.

"No good, it can’t go on like this!"

Sun Shicai was a decisive person, shouting loudly, "Nonsense!"

This shout was like thunderclap. Instantly it attracted countless gazes.

"It’s Sun Shicai!"

"He dares to come? That master-murdering dog!"

"Such a person can still serve as a Patrol Envoy for Six Gates..."

"..."

At this moment, Sun Shicai felt the sensation of being pointed at by a thousand fingers, and his heart felt increasingly uneasy.

This wasn’t quite what he had envisioned?

He shouted loudly, "You must not believe their one-sided story; I, Sun Shicai, absolutely have not committed such an inhumane act!" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Many people nearby, intimidated by him, quickly moved aside to make a path for him to confront the accusation.

...

"A dying struggle!"

In a restaurant opposite the Admiral’s Mansion, in a private room on the second floor, sat a group of female disciples from the Xiaoshui Sect. Xiao Zhuyun, seeing Sun Shicai appear, commented lightly.

When Huo Qianqian and Zhang Mingyu arrived with a group of disciples, clad in mourning clothes, carrying Huo Chengkun’s memorial tablet and shouting grievances at the Admiral’s Mansion entrance, Sun Shicai’s outcome was already sealed.

At this time, no matter what Sun Shicai said, it would be useless; even if he didn’t murder, he would end up rejected by everyone.

On one side, it was Huo Chengkun’s granddaughter, a direct disciple, along with over a dozen registered disciples. All together accusing Sun Shicai of master murder.

On the other side, Sun Shicai was alone, and he was merely a Seventh-Grade Patrol Envoy of Six Gates.

If it were not true, why would anyone choose to air their dirty laundry?

If it were not true, how would a group of martial artists dare to frame a Patrol Envoy of Six Gates?

"Sure enough, it’s an overt scheme."

Xiao Zhuyun watching Sun Shicai being accused, felt an indescribable emotion, ending up like this is what Chen Ming called "social death," perhaps.

Sun Shicai, even if not dying today, would become the notorious traitor shunned by everyone. No one would be willing to associate with him. Even Yu Xiuming likely won’t protect him anymore.

...

As Sun Shicai arrived at the entrance of the Admiral’s Mansion, he saw Huo Qianqian and Zhang Mingyu holding up Huo Chengkun’s memorial tablet, followed by over a dozen mourning disciples carrying the tablets of the senior brother and others, his heart suddenly sank.

Behind him, not a single person remained; the junior disciple who had traveled with him moments ago was nowhere to be seen.

He shouted loudly, "I did not kill my master! Don’t falsely accuse me!"

Huo Qianqian seeing him, finally didn’t have to conceal anymore, brimming with hatred, "Sun Shicai, did you ever expect this day? For my grandfather’s Sixth-Grade inheritance, you murdered him without hesitation. Afterward, you sent people to attack us, intending to silence us. A person like you, insane and treacherous, should be sent to the eighteenth layer of hell."

Sun Shicai loudly defended, "I didn’t, you are slandering me!"

However, his defense sounded so feeble to others.

At this moment, the Admiral’s Mansion’s door finally opened, and a man wearing a blue official robe, with ample authority, walked out; it was none other than Captain Yu Xiuming.

Sun Shicai seeing him as if spotting a savior, "Lord Yu——"

Yu Xiuming didn’t even glance at him and spoke, silencing all voices, "The matters you’ve spoken of, Lord Admiral is aware. He has specifically appointed this officer to announce, Sun Shicai is suspected of murder, and before clearing suspicion, removed from his position as Patrol Envoy of Six Gates."

Sun Shicai felt like struck by lightning, looking at Yu Xiuming in disbelief, "Lord Yu, you——"

Before finishing his sentence, he encountered the other’s cold gaze; his body stiffened, a strong fear surged in his heart, and he couldn’t utter another word.

After Yu Xiuming finished announcing, he turned and walked away, the heavy doors of the Admiral’s Mansion closing again.

It’s over——

Sun Shicai stood soullessly; his years of struggle, multiple brushes with death, finally climbing to his current position, were now all gone.

How did it turn out like this?

No——

"It’s not the time to think about this now."

Suddenly recalling Yu Xiuming’s earlier cold gaze, Sun Shicai felt a shiver. He knew too many secrets; Yu Xiuming wouldn’t let him go.

Immediately flee from here.

Just as he intended to leave, suddenly heard an angry shout, "Sun thief, you still wish to flee? Today you shall die here, honoring the spirits of our master and senior brother in heaven!"

Only seeing Zhang Mingyu wielding a steel knife, blocking his path.

Sun Shicai looked at him and said disdainfully, "Just you?"

At this moment, from behind, a clear voice sounded, "What if it’s added with me!"

This voice——

He swiftly turned, seeing Chen Ming approaching slowly, laughing crazily, "Great, you actually delivered yourself to me, saving me quite a bit of trouble."

Once capturing this person, forcing out the inheritance from him, he could break through to Sixth-Grade anytime, then no place in the world he couldn’t go?

PS: Tomorrow it’ll launch, the first Chapter should release before noon.
