In the Zixiao Hall, there is still the same long table.
However, the autumn mood that usually serves tea is no longer there, replaced by Xingzhi.
For some reason, Xingzhi has been feeling restless these past few days. He and Qiu Yinong couldn't get along, and they always competed for favor in front of Ling Yungao. Now that Qiu Yinong was dead, instead of feeling happy, he felt an inexplicable panic.
——He knew very clearly how Qiu Yi Nong got to this point.
In the past ten years, she had tried her best to please the sect master. The birth of a baby was the elixir given by the sect master. It was also the sect master's intention to practice magical powers in seclusion a while ago. She even went to the ring to please the sect master. But she died in the ring...
Whenever Xingzhi thinks about this, his back gets cold and he doesn't dare to think about it further.
"Ding!" There was a gentle clink of porcelain, and Ling Bufei, who was sitting across from the long table, put down his teacup and raised his head.
Sitting on both sides were the elders, and on the opposite side was the sect leader Ling Yungao, so he met his uncle at first sight.
"Why, there's still no result?" He looked at them one by one.
As expected, no one answered.
Ling Bufei smiled sarcastically: "It is said that the Wuji Sect is the top sect of the Immortal Sect, but the result is like this, leaking like a sieve. For such a big event as a sect competition, the ban on the ring can make people do tricks and die in public. He took one Nascent Soul and trapped another Nascent Soul into the Black Ice Prison, and now he can’t even find the culprit. May I ask you, uncles and uncles, what are you doing with your usual offerings?”
He scolded him mercilessly. Some people lowered their heads, while others showed dissatisfaction. The sect leader hadn't even spoken yet, but he, a young sect leader who didn't hold any power, scolded him first?
As expected, some people couldn't hold back: "Young Sect Master, managing the sect is not simple. It can't be done by just saying something. The competition has been prepared for a long time. The process is complicated and there are many people involved. Even if It will take a lot of time to check them one by one."
"Then are there any results after the investigation? Uncle Beifeng?" Ling Bufei didn't want to be spoiled at all, "How many days has it been? Three days or four days? If there are no results in one day, Meng Jin will be locked up in Xuanbing Prison and cannot get out. . She is seriously injured. What if something happens if she stays here any longer? Or are you dragging her along on purpose just to wear her to death without any proof?"
These words were serious, and several elders came out to speak.
"Young Sect Master, you only let Junior Bai into the Black Ice Prison to isolate hidden dangers. You didn't take away her personal magic weapon. How could something happen?"
"It is indeed not easy to investigate such a big matter. It will be difficult to complete the investigation in three or four days."...
"Yes, if we are deliberately neglecting it, the young sect leader can supervise it."
"You are the young sect master, so you can't act recklessly!"
Yuan Songqiao was not happy with the last words: "What does it mean to be a spoiler? Doesn't the young sect master have the right to intervene? Also, which of his words was wrong? The young sect master's fiancée was imprisoned in Xuan Bing Prison without even finding out the matter. , if this matter is revealed, our Wuji Sect will lose all face, why do you all look so proud?"
On the surface, he was scolding everyone, but everyone knew that he was scolding Ling Yungao.
Although Bai Mengjin was suspected, he was not convicted after all. He was imprisoned in Xuanbing Prison just to sympathize with the sect leader's pain of losing his disciple.
The young sect leader has grown up, and he is clearly fighting for power!
Those who didn't want to get involved lowered their heads and pretended not to hear.
"How long will we be detained for?" Ling Bufei said again, "If you can't be found out in three days, you will be detained for three days. If you are not found out in ten days, you will be detained for ten days. If you are not found out in one year, you will be detained for one year. If you are not found out in three days, you will be detained for one year. If you are not found out in three days, you will be detained for one year." If I don’t come out, will I go to Xuanbing Prison to get a wife? That doesn’t make sense!”
"Young Sect Master..."
As soon as Beifeng opened his mouth, he was stopped by Ling Yungao. He said slowly: "Bai Mengjin is your fiancée. It is natural for you to prefer her, but Yinong is also your senior sister. You took great care of her when you were young. Now she is dead." Without a burial place, don’t you feel a little sad for her?”
Seeing his distressed look, Ling Bufei smiled: "Uncle, there are some accounts I don't want to settle. Since you have brought this matter to light, I will settle it. If she really thinks that I am a close junior brother, why? Harm me again and again?
"
As soon as this was said, the elders all looked over. What's the meaning? Has the autumn mood harmed him? Why haven't you heard of it?
Ling Yungao frowned: "What did you say? Why didn't I know?"
"Uncle, really don't know?" Ling Bufei smirked, "When Meng Jin first entered the sect, who spread the news everywhere in the sect, implying that she was vain and greedy, and got into the sect by currying favor with me? I remember Master Sun at that time We made a fuss once, uncle wouldn't think that I didn't say anything, just didn't know about it, right?"
The elders were stunned for a moment, and then quickly remembered that this was indeed the case!
"There is also a spiritual training conference. What on earth did Senior Sister Qiu do? Uncle, do you know?"
This sentence is simply pointing his finger at Ling Yungao and scolding him. After all, Qiu Yi Nong is his apprentice, and he naturally instructs him in everything he does.
Ling Yungao couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Bu Fei, did you listen to someone's instigation? Yi Nong was arrested when he entered Yelan Kingdom, how could he have time to harm others? Do you have any evidence for saying so?"
"As the client, doesn't it count as evidence?" Ling Bufei continued with a fake smile, "After all, Senior Sister Qiu is just talking nonsense, saying that Meng Jin is a traitor!"
The two sides looked at each other, full of gunpowder, as if they would burst into flames in the next moment.
"What do you want?" Ling Yungao asked.
"I want to check it out myself!" Ling Bufei didn't follow him in circles and said plainly, "I can't trust you!"
Ling Yungao frowned: "You can supervise and check it yourself. Do you want to tell the world that Wuji Sect is in internal strife?"
Ling Bufei showed a surprised expression: "Do you still need to tell the world about this? I thought that such an incident in the sect's competition has shown that there are female officials within us. Do you cover your ears and pretend that you don't know?"
"..."
Not to mention, I have been communicating with friends outside these days, and I have been trying to ask questions. It is true that the news has been spread a long time ago...
"Allow me to remind you elders," Ling Bufei glanced over one by one, "The longer this matter is delayed, the greater the damage will be to the reputation of the sect. If it gets over in the end, others will assume that we have female agents in the future. . Then, will the Immortal Alliance still let us take charge? Will the next sect still be obedient? Once the abscess occurs, it must be found and dug out, otherwise it will only get bigger and bigger until it spreads all over the body and cannot be cured anymore."
He said these words seriously, and the elders pondered silently in their hearts.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Yuan Songqiao suggested: "Why don't we all take a vote! If the young sect wants to investigate, we can do it in two parallel lines. Maybe we can get the results faster? There will be no loss if we don't succeed. Sect Master, what do you think?"
Ling Yungao had no reason to object. After a moment of silence, he could only agree: "Then let's vote!"
So at the tea table, the elders expressed their opinions one by one.
"I agree, the young sect master has grown up, and it's time to get involved in sect affairs."
"I object to checking both ends at the same time and putting the discord on the surface. It's too ugly."
"I agree, it's best to find out early."
"I agree……"
