In the center of the hall, Liu Nian smiled helplessly when faced with Bai Xingqie's inquiry.
"Master, I know that I am not welcome in the sect.
The members of the inner sect looked down upon me, thinking that I, Liu Nian, had tarnished the reputation of the inner sect. The members of the outer sect did not bother to talk to me, thinking that I was the kind of self-righteous elder of the inner sect.
Although no one in the sect dares to embarrass me, I am not stupid. I can see that almost everyone in the sect is deliberately isolating me, Liu Nian.
Once something bad happens in the sect, the first person everyone thinks of must be me, Liu Nian. "
"That day, people from the Chiyang Sect came to our Haoqi Immortal Sect to cause trouble. Everyone would rather listen to the lies of outsiders than believe me, an elder from the same sect. My status in the Haoqi Immortal Sect is really not as good as that of an outsider...
But I, Liu Nian, don’t care about this at all. I’m just living like a loner, so what’s the big deal? "
After saying this, Liu Nian raised his head and sighed. The sigh was long and endless, and it was full of sadness.
After hearing Liu Nian's words, many of the elders present felt somewhat guilty in their hearts. It was indeed their fault that the Chiyang Sect caused trouble on the day the Haoqi Immortal Sect caused trouble.
Bai Xingqie watched Liu Nian's lifelike performance and remained silent.
Just when everyone was about to apologize, Liu Nian's eyes narrowed, his demeanor suddenly changed, and he said angrily: "If rumors are only attached to Liu Nian alone, no matter how many rumors there are, they will be the same as crows and dogs barking.
The reason why I care so much about this rumor is because it involves the wrong people! "
Who is involved? Could it be Liangran...
Just when everyone was suspicious, Liu Nian said again: "That person is just a weak woman."
Oh, it doesn’t look like Liangran...
"It was me who caused her to be connected with the thunderstorm. Now some people are spreading rumors, linking the sect's coldness to the thunderstorm, so that she can be wronged for nothing.
In this case, how could I, Liu Nian, let the rumors continue to spread! "
Everyone immediately guessed the identity of the weak woman Liu Nian mentioned. Besides He Ling, who else could be related to that thunderstorm?
Unknowingly, Bai Qiuming looked more pleased with Liu Nian.
"Senior Brother Head, I think what Elder Liu Nian said does make some sense!" Bai Qiu Mingyi said righteously.
Seeing that the big brother of the inner sect spoke for Liu Nian, the inner sect members also followed suit.
"Master, we also think what Elder Liu Nian said is indeed very reasonable!"
Although the members of the outer sect did not like to associate with the members of the inner sect, they thought that Liangran, who was also a member of the outer sect, was also involved, so they also echoed a few words.
Looking at the people who had the same attitude, Bai Xingge said aloud: "After this elders meeting is over, I will personally make an announcement to let everyone know that the sect's coldness has nothing to do with the thunderstorm.
Liu Nian, do you have any other requests? "
[Second thought, control is given to you. Remember what I said, do whatever you want! 】
Liu Niandao: "Master! If you come forward to explain, you can only stop the rumors from spreading, but it cannot eliminate the suspicion in everyone's hearts.
I want this rumor to disappear once and for all! "
Rumors are a direction of thinking for people who don’t know the truth. Denying rumors in vain cannot completely eradicate the suspicion in others’ hearts.
Only when the person spreading the rumor comes forward to admit that his words are false can a rumor disappear completely.
Bai Xingqe immediately understood Liu Nian's intention: "Elder Liu Nian, do you want to find out the person spreading rumors behind the scenes?"
Liu Nian bowed and said: "Please allow me, the leader!"
Although he seems to be in a dilemma, it is not difficult for him to find out who is behind the scenes. He was worried that Liu Nian would fight directly with the opponent under the slogan of "getting angry for a beauty"!
Spreading rumors does not violate the rules of the sect and does not require punishment, but fighting with fellow sect members does not require punishment!
Liu Nian added: "Master, I just want that person to apologize. I will never embarrass him!"
"Is this true?"
Liu Nian looked directly at Bai Xingqie, his eyes full of sincerity: "Of course I take it seriously!"
Bai Xingqie breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that Liu Nian would make some excessive demands, but he didn't expect that he would just apologize.
Apologizing may be humiliating to outside monks, but in the Haoqi Immortal Sect, as long as right and wrong are made clear, an apology doesn't hurt at all.
"Who spread the rumors? Come forward." Bai Xingji said to everyone.
The audience was silent and no one responded.
In Haoqi Xianmen, apologizing is not a shameful thing, it is shameful if you dare to do it but not admit it!
Bai Xingqie showed displeasure and said in a cold tone: "What? Do you still want me to question you one by one?"
Everyone in the audience looked at each other, but still no one answered.
When the punishment elder Bai Qiuming saw this, he was also very angry and said angrily: "Whoever spreads these rumors, please come forward quickly, don't make the leader angry!"
Bai Xingqie stood up abruptly, with a straight white beard and no wind, and looked at the people in the audience with a solemn expression.
When everyone saw this, they stood upright with their heads held high and their chests held high. Their postures were straight and not slanted, and there was a majestic aura around them.
After a while, Bai Xingqie took a deep breath, closed his eyes and thought, and said to himself: "Except for Ziyi, all the elders of the Haoqi Immortal Sect are here, but I can't see any of them having a guilty conscience.
Could it be... that love breeds hatred?
impossible! That snake didn't even know that Jie Lei was related to He Ling?
Could it be that Liu Nian was directing and acting just to show favor in front of his father-in-law? "
Bai Xingqie opened his eyes and looked at Liu Nian carefully. Seeing that the other person held his head high and his chest full of righteousness, he immediately gave up his doubts.
"Qiu Ming, go and call the deacon over here!"
"yes!"
Shao Qing and many deacons from the Haoqi Immortal Sect were also present, but they all shook their heads and denied spreading rumors.
This made Bai Xingqie very puzzled and asked: "Is there anyone who hasn't arrived yet?"
Bai Qiu Ming said: "Except for the inconvenience of He Ling, the deacon of the elixir pharmacy, all the elders and deacons in the door are here."
He Ling is the least suspicious candidate in the Haoqi Immortal Sect. She has been busy all day long and has no time to spread rumors. What's more, this rumor will not do her any good!
Everyone in the audience stood with their heads held high, while Bai Xingqe had a sad look on his face.
If the person spreading the rumors cannot be found, the impact of the rumors cannot be completely eradicated.
Bai Xingqie looked at Liu Nian with an apologetic look, and said helplessly: "Senior nephew Liu Nian, I am unqualified as the leader and cannot help you find the person behind the scenes."
Liu Nian replied: "It doesn't matter, even if I can't find the person behind the scenes, I can still make this rumor disappear.
Don't worry, Master, my method is very subtle and won't embarrass anyone, so I don't need you to worry about it, Master. "
Looking at Liu Nian's confident expression, Bai Xingqie looked pleased.
May I ask the capable juniors? What leader doesn’t like it!
"Okay, if that's the case, then just go ahead and do it boldly, I believe in you!"
Liu Nian replied yes and immediately flew out of the hall.
On the throne of the leader, Bai Xing stroked his beard and nodded, giving some admiration to the figure speeding outward.
"Even if I were asked to dispel this rumor, I can only think of one,... no... two methods.
One is to find the person behind the rumor and have him admit that the rumor is false.
The second is to split the sect's formation and let everyone see what the mighty Immortal Sect looks like after the formation is destroyed. The rumors can also be disproven! "
WTF, WTF, WTF…
When his thoughts reached this point, Bai Xing's face froze, and he immediately turned into a white shadow and flew towards the outside of the palace.
