Someone's body started to tremble.
Those people held pens in their hands and looked at the rice paper in front of them. The hand holding the pen shook violently. The ink on the tip of the pen dripped on the rice paper and spread on the white paper, but no one dared to write at this time.
Chu Qingxiao stared at them with a cold expression.
"What are you still hesitating about? Start writing?" Chu Qingxiao said.
At this moment, the four of them almost subconsciously turned their heads to look at each other.
Just when this action started, Lu Sandao on the side raised his head and drank a sip of strong wine. He pressed his thumb on the handle of the knife and flicked it, and a cold light flashed through the scabbard.
Then several piercing sword intents flashed past the faces of the four disciples.
The hair on their foreheads broke and fell gently.
The bodies of the four people stood frozen in place at that time, as if someone had cast a restraining spell, motionless.
They knew very well that this was a warning from Lu Sandao.
She did not allow them to communicate with each other through any method, nor did she allow them to break the rules set by Chu Qingxiao.
This also means that the notorious guarding master of Shenhe Peak has chosen to side with Chu Qingxiao without reservation.
This is a terrible thing.
If the other party is just a little-known outer disciple like Chu Qingxiao.
They don't have to bear any psychological pressure at all. After all, in a place like Tianxuan City, the difference between the inner gate and the outer gate is enough to crush countless people.
But with Lu Sandao, things were different.
If there is an unbridgeable gap between the outer sect and the inner sect, then there is a natural chasm between the ordinary inner sect disciples and the guardian of a divine peak, even if she is only the guardian of the ruined divine peak.
If they really showed their flaws and were caught by the other party, then Lu Sandao would use this excuse to kill them.
This forced them to walk on thin ice and deal with it carefully.
And now, they have arrived at the edge of a cliff where they may be thrown to pieces at any time...
They turned their heads stiffly and faced the rice paper in front of them again. The hand holding the pen trembled even more. Some people could hardly hold the thing and dropped it to the ground with a plop.
"You bastards! How dare you deceive Lu Zhenshou!" At this moment, Ma Yingjie, who had been watching all this with cold eyes, shouted loudly and said this.
The look on his face was indignant and furious.
"I just said that early this morning, before midnight, I saw you sneaking back from outside the Sword Holding Hall."
"Tell me! Did you go to Jinhua Tower to drink wine again yesterday!?"
Ma Yingjie's words seemed to be reprimanding the four people, but they were actually a life-saving straw for them.
What the four people did yesterday, where they went, and when they would return were all explained in this short angry rebuke.
The four of them were stunned for a moment, and someone quickly reacted and immediately knelt on the ground with a plop.
"Guard!! Deacon! You two adults are clear!"
"The four of us brothers were so obsessed yesterday that we left our post without permission and went to the Jinhua Building to drink! We only came back early this morning. We were afraid of being punished by the adults, so we told those lies just now! Please ask Deacon Lu and Zhen Lu to punish you!!"
As soon as this person said this, the other three people also reacted and knelt down one after another.
Song Qingming knew that Zhao Zhao and others frowned when they saw this, and they obviously understood.
This is obviously avoiding the important and taking the easy! !
But before they could attack, Ma Yingjie shouted again: "Master Lu is here today to find out the cause of death of a direct disciple. How dare you talk nonsense in the face of such a major event!"
"Yesterday you were greedy for pleasure and dared to leave your post without authorization. You will be punished for both crimes. After you return to Qingquan Peak, everyone will copy the rules of the Tianxuan Mountain for me three hundred times!!"
Compared to being found out the truth and then being punished by being expelled from the sect, or even being killed on the spot, the so-called copying of the sect's rules three hundred times is nothing to mention.
The faces of the four people all showed joy, but they tried their best to hide it. At this time, they knelt down to admit their mistakes and apologized, but they were secretly relieved in their hearts.
Song Qingqing and others suddenly looked ugly, and even Lu Sandao, who had never cared so much about these things, frowned.
The embarrassment shown by everyone made Ma Yingjie secretly happy. He looked at Lu Sandao again and said with pretense of shame: "Mr. Lu's failure to discipline his disciples made Lu Zhenshou a joke. After I return, I will also Go to the Peak Master to accept the punishment as a warning."
This is a beautiful thing to say, but it is more like a provocation that you can do nothing about.
Song Qing knew clearly that Zhao Zhao and others had angry expressions on their faces, and the many onlookers surrounding the entrance of the sword-wielding hall also had angry expressions on their faces.
Naturally, you can see the famous sayings. When Chu Qingxiao asked that question, the faces of the four people were so ugly, it was clear that there was something wrong in their hearts.
But after Ma Yingjie's rogue behavior, this possible only flaw was eliminated.
"Before I came here, I had heard rumors in the city that some people from the inner gate of Tianxuan Mountain, relying on the mountain gate as a backer, committed evil and lawlessness in Tianxuan City." At this moment, Chu Qingxiao suddenly said road.
As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes fell on him.
"I thought this was just a rumor, but now that I've seen it, I realize what it means to be a worthy person despite a great reputation!"
"Master Lu, you really gave me a lot of experience!"
Chu Qingxiao continued, looking at Ma Yingying with anger surging in his eyes.
Ma Yingjie could hear the anger, but he didn't take it seriously. On the contrary, he found it very interesting.
In a place like Tianxuan City, the hierarchy is strict and the classes are clearly defined.
As long as Chu Qingxiao can't produce actual evidence, it's absolutely impossible for an outer sect or even a handyman disciple to do anything to him.
"In front of tens of thousands of people in Tianxuan City, Mr. Lu dares to help his disciples cheat and cover up. If no one sees it, then I really don't know what people like Mr. Lu will do! "
Chu Qingxiao continued to scold in a cold voice.
Ma Yingjie, however, smiled and said, "Young man, with Lu Zhengshou's support, you deliberately framed me today. I take it all as a misunderstanding and can forget about it."
"But what I want to warn you is that if you continue to speak so unscrupulously and slander me without any evidence, I will definitely report this to the sect afterwards. Don't regret it anymore!"
Ma Yingjie's words were filled with the arrogance of a winner. Obviously, in his opinion, as long as the clue in front of him was cut off, Chu Qingxiao would no longer be able to grasp anything.
He already has a winning chance.
But what he didn't expect was that in the face of his ridicule, Chu Qingxiao looked calm and did not show the anger he imagined.
The young man just glanced at Ma Yingjie at this moment.
Immediately, he sighed.
"It is said that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. With a father like Deacon Lu, it is no wonder that he would teach Lu Huan to be so greedy for life and afraid of death, and betray his son from the same family." Chu Qingxiao said quietly.
When these words came out, the smile on Ma Yingjie's face disappeared instantly.
His eyes were surging with murderous intent, and he stared at Chu Qingxiao with a cold gaze: "What did you say?"
he asked through gritted teeth.
Lu Huan was his only son, and he had always doted on him. He died unexpectedly a year ago. From then on, Ma Yingjie regarded finding the real murderer as the whole meaning of his life.
He cherished his son so much that even after his death, he would never allow anyone to slander him in the slightest.
Chu Qingxiao's words obviously hit Ma Yingjie's sore spot.
His face suddenly turned ugly and he looked angry.
But Chu Qingxiao seemed not to notice his strange behavior, and continued to speak at that time: "I said that Mr. Lu Huan has done many unjust things."
"So if I was killed a year ago, I deserved it and died unjustly."
When Ma Yingjie heard this, his expression suddenly changed. He looked at Chu Qingxiao angrily and his face turned red: "How dare you slander my Huan'er like this!"
As he spoke, he took a step forward, ignoring the fact that Lu Sandao was sitting beside him, and activated the sword intent all over him. The Zhengyang Qi and the powerful sword intent in the five-level warrior's body surged out at this moment. , Chu Qingxiao must be wrapped up.
But Chu Qingxiao was not afraid. Instead, he looked directly at Ma Yingying and asked, "Isn't that what Deacon Lu thinks in his heart?"
"If your Mr. Lu Huanlu is really upright, then avenging him should be done openly and openly!"
"But you want to kill Zhu Renzhao secretly!"
"Isn't it just because we understand that Lu Huan's death was deserved? If we really investigate and put the matter on the table, Lu Huan's dirty deeds will also be known to the entire Tianxuan Mountain?"
"At that time, everyone will know that Lu Huan did not die young or was framed, but that he deserved his death!"
Ma Yingjie's eyes seemed to burst out with fire, and he shouted loudly: "You're talking nonsense!"
"If I'm talking nonsense! Then why did Mr. Lu secretly kill Zhu Renzhao!?" Chu Qingxiao asked in the same loud voice.
"That's because of him!" Ma Yingjie was about to retort immediately, but when the words came to his lips, he seemed to realize something and swallowed them back alive.
After Ma Yingjie woke up, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He knew that just now, he had almost fallen into Chu Qingxiao's way. If he really answered Chu Qingxiao's question, wouldn't it be tantamount to bringing it upon himself?
Thinking of this, Ma Yingjie calmed down. He narrowed his eyes, looked at Chu Qingxiao, and sneered: "Young man, you are quite cunning. It's a pity that Mr. Lu doesn't know Zhu Renzhao at all, otherwise he would really be led by your nose. Falling into a trap.”
"You don't have to use these petty tricks to seduce me. Today, for the sake of Lu Zhenshou, I let you make enough nonsense. If you can't produce any actual evidence, then where should you go? Just go back there!"
Ma Yingjie said as he waved his sleeves, and dozens of disciples from the sword-wielding hall stepped out at this moment, menacingly, ready to drive away Chu Qingxiao and others at any time.
Everyone's faces suddenly turned ugly, and at the same time, there was a look of dissatisfaction in their eyes.
For Song Qingqing, Zhaozhao and others who knew the truth, it was a very outrageous thing for them to see the culprit, Ma Yingying, being so arrogant and domineering.
The onlookers around also noticed Ma Yingjie's weirdness. From the strange behavior of the disciples before, and the scene where the talented Ma Yingjie almost leaked the truth, the people around him realized that the murderer of this murder was very likely. It's Ma Yingjie.
But Chu Qingxiao couldn't produce any evidence, and ordinary disciples like them didn't have the courage to question each other. Although everyone was excited for a while, they were helpless.
