Whoosh whoosh!
Suddenly there was a rapid and brief sound in the bushes, which attracted Qinxian's attention, because Qinxian had excellent hearing since he was a child. At this time, Yunfan's back was turned to the bushes, and his attention was completely focused on Qinxian didn't notice anything strange here.
Qin Xian stared intently, and at the same time, Yun Fan's eyes also moved and looked over there.
Some branches there swayed slightly, and the leaves rustled. The most eye-catching thing is that there is a silk handkerchief embroidered with patterns hanging on the treetop. The pattern resembles an orchid. Qinxian suddenly remembered that this square silk handkerchief seemed to be made by her, and later she gave it to Ye Yanran.
Qin Xian was secretly frightened in her heart, churning like a giant wave that shook the sky: This handkerchief is beautiful.
She recognized the origin of the handkerchief at a glance. She must have dropped it unknowingly when she was walking in a hurry.
I wonder how much Yanran heard about their conversation just now? If she told Lin Haoran, how should she explain to him?
Qin Xian became uneasy for a while.
On a mountain path in the woods, Ye Yanran's figure quickly shuttled back and forth. This was a shortcut back to the villa that she had discovered while playing in the back mountain.
Ye Yanran was shocked beyond words. She never expected that the master's wife and Yun Fan had known each other many years ago, and before she married the master, she had a brief relationship with Yun Fan, and they seemed to have a close friendship. .
However, the master's wife never mentioned this matter in front of the master, so the master may not know about it until now. So should I tell my master or not? Ye Yanran was confused for a moment. She didn't know what to do with herself.
After a while, Qinxian returned to the village from Siguo Cliff, but her heart was still very uneasy.
At this moment, she saw Shen Qianxing coming to find her in front of Lin Yuqing's room. So he shouted: "Qian Xing."
"Master's wife, are you here to find Third Junior Sister?!" Shen Qianxing hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
Qinxian said: "Yes! Isn't she in the room?"
"She's not here!" Shen Qianxing said, "Originally, she asked me to go to Siguoya to pay homage to our senior brother. But when I came, I didn't see her figure."
Qinxian said: "..."
At this time, Yu Wanfei ran over and shouted: "Master's wife, second senior brother. Something serious has happened!"
"What happened?" Qin Xian and Shen Qianxing asked in unison.
Yu Wanfei: "Anyway, something big happened. Master asked us all to go to the hall."
Hearing that everyone was asked to go to the hall, Qin Xian couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If so, then it was not what he was worried about.
Firstly, this is not a big deal, and there is no need to mobilize such a large number of people; secondly, this matter is ultimately a private matter between them, and it is impossible for Lin Haoran to expose it in public.
Everyone gathered in the meeting hall of Qiushui Villa, including the disciples of Qiushui Villa, the heads and disciples of the other four major sects, and Yun Fan who came from outside.
Ever since Yun Fan arrived, Ye Yanran's eyes never left him.
Qin Xian walked to Lin Haoran's side and asked, "What happened to my husband?"
"The disciples of Zhongxin Hall and Ba Dao Sect were attacked in the back mountain, and they insisted that it was the people from Qiushui Villa who did it." Lin Haoran said seriously.
The Mingdao leader of Zhongxin Hall bowed slightly and said: "We have always respected Leader Lin as a great hero who is upright and upright! However," he changed the subject and said: "What happened in Qiushui Villa today is really disappointing. So. The alliance leader should find this traitor as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public."
Lin Yuqing was the first to speak: "We at Qiushui Villa not only have disciples from our own sect, but also disciples from several other major sects. How come the head of the Ming Dynasty insists that it is the disciples of our Qiushui Villa who did it!"
"What junior sister said is absolutely true!" Ye Yanran quite agreed with her point of view. Ye Yanran would certainly not let them slander Qiushui Villa and damage the reputation of the Villa by unjustly accusing good people without any evidence.
The head of Di Shanyan said sarcastically: "Leader Lin really teaches well. These two disciples are really sharp-tongued!"
Lin Haoran looked sideways at Ye Yanran and Lin Yuqing, and sternly lectured: "Seniors here, it's not your turn to be so unscrupulous!"
Both women lowered their heads and remained silent.
Yun Fan looked at the disciples of the two sects who had been beaten and bruised all over, and finally couldn't help but said: "Excuse me for asking, did you see the appearance of the attacker at that time?"
"He was covering his face at the time, but judging from the figure and clothing of the person, he must be a woman." One of the injured disciples who was wearing a bandage said.
"Then why do you suspect that it was the disciples of Qiushui Villa who did it?" Yun Fan asked.
Another injured disciple pointed at Ye Yanran and Lin Yuqing: "We have only had conflicts with two women before, who else could it be if they weren't them?"
Yun Fan nodded lightly and said, "Then... besides this, do you have any other evidence?"
Lin Yuqing snorted coldly and said sternly: "You are spitting blood."
"I just asked these disciples whether they recognized the obvious gap in the sword held by the attacker." Geda said.
Hearing this, Ye Yanran suddenly remembered that just a few days ago, when she was practicing swordplay with her junior sister Lin Yuqing, she accidentally saw a gap on the blade of her sword. It must have been missing at that time. I originally wanted to make a new one, but it was delayed due to various things until now. Thinking back to what happened just now, she was originally going to go to Siguo Cliff with her to defeat her senior brother, but she suddenly left in the middle of the journey.
Thinking about it at this time, she must have been unable to see those people insulting her senior brother. She was angry and wanted to teach them a lesson, so she ran to attack them.
Di Shanyan said: "That would be easy. As long as Leader Lin asks all the disciples to take out their swords, whoever's sword has a gap will be the murderer!"
Lin Yuqing's head was now covered with a layer of fine cold sweat. Her right hand holding the sword slowly tightened, and her heart suddenly panicked. When they mentioned the chipped sword, she already felt something bad in her heart, secretly Regret, countless times, how could I have forgotten this. But nothing she could do at this time would make up for it, so she had no choice but to accept her fate.
What Lin Yuqing didn't notice was that Ye Yanran was silently watching her every move.
The head of Mingdao bowed slightly and said: "If not, I, the Zhongxin Hall, would like to apologize to your village!"
"Okay!" Lin Haoran smiled slightly, and then ordered: "You all take out your swords and show them to the seniors."
All the disciples accepted the order, but Lin Yuqing remained silent and did not make any move.
Ye Yanran glanced at Lin Yuqing, her beautiful eyes flashed with determination. She stepped out and walked in front of everyone: "No need, master, I did this."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone present was shocked.
Lin Yuqing: "Senior sister!"
Especially the disciples of Qiushui Villa are simply unbelievable.
Qinxian said seriously: "Yanran, I know it was not you. This is a serious matter. You must not talk nonsense or talk nonsense!"
Ye Yanran said firmly: "It was indeed me. There is no need to investigate further."
Lin Haoran's eyes widened, staring at her, and said: "Why did you do this?" He still can't believe that Ye Yanran did this. In comparison, he would rather believe that it was his daughter Lin Yuqing made. But why...he really couldn't figure it out.
"Because they were misbehaving in Qiushui Villa, making a lot of noise, and insulting Senior Brother. So I couldn't help but want to teach them a lesson." Ye Yanran pointed at the injured disciples and said fiercely.
"You beast!" Lin Haoran was furious and planned to hit Ye Yanran with one palm.
"master……"
"Father!" Lin Yuqing shouted.
"My lord." Qin Xian also stopped him.
Ye Yanran was already kneeling on the ground, her eyes filled with tears.
Bang————
Lin Haoran's outstretched palm still struck out, but it didn't hit Ye Yanran, but hit a wooden bench not far away.
Lin Haoran angrily struck with all his strength, using his overwhelming power, the wooden bench instantly turned into powder.
The power of a palm surges like a surging river and the sea, shocking everyone with its skill.
He deserves to be the first person on the right path at the moment! You are worthy of being the leader of the righteous way!
This one move alone is enough to frighten the heroes from all walks of life.
Ye Yanran was about to cry: "Master."
Mingdao said: "Now that the murderer has been found, the alliance leader should be selfless and punish her severely."
"The five sects of the righteous path are connected by the same spirit, and now there is such a scoundrel who ignores the brotherhood of the alliance. It is simply sad and shameful!" Di Shanyan said.
Mingdao: "The crime of plotting against a fellow sect member in my sect should be punished."
Qinxian: "Mr. Yanran, although she made a big mistake, it was just an impulsive act. The circumstances are excusable and the crime will not lead to death."
"What Mrs. Lin said is absolutely true." Head Ge Dage on the side finally spoke: "The disciples of Ba Dao Sect and Zhongxin Hall only suffered some physical pain, there is no need to pay for it with their lives."
"Of course I'm not saying that she has to sacrifice her life, but if the alliance leader doesn't punish her severely, I'm afraid that fratricide will happen one after another."
After Ming Dao finished speaking, the other two heads nodded, agreeing very much with his opinion.
Lin Haoran said sternly: "As the leader of the alliance, I am really ashamed to have taught such a scoundrel. Please forgive me. Everyone, please rest assured that we at Qiushui Villa have always acted openly and aboveboard. This time, this traitor did such a despicable thing. , I will never tolerate it."
Lin Haoran looked at Ye Yanran and said word by word: "Ye Yanran, from now on, you are no longer from my Qiushui Villa!" Every word was sonorous, every word shocked the heart, and every word pierced the soul.
"Father!"
"master!……"
"Master!" Ye Yanran cried out in pain.
"I'm not your master!" Lin Haoran said calmly.
Everyone present could not help but sigh slightly, and couldn't help but sigh. Is there anything more sad than this? !
One moment he was a disciple of Qiushui Villa, and the next moment he was expelled from the master.
So things in this world are really full of variables and it’s hard to say with certainty!
Ye Yanran probably didn't even expect this result. For her, this was simply more uncomfortable than killing her.
Growing up in Qiushui Villa, this place was like her home. She had a master and a master who loved her the most, as well as brothers, brothers, and sisters who were close to each other and talked about almost everything. They are like their own relatives, making themselves feel the warmth and true love of the world.
Ye Yanran also cherishes this hard-won family relationship very much. I am afraid of losing it, so I have been managing it carefully.
But in the end, God does not fulfill man's wishes, and man's calculation is not as good as God's.
She had already fully anticipated the serious punishment she would face in this matter, but when Lin Haoran announced in public that he was expelled from the school, she was still briefly confused and caught off guard.
