Chapter 73: [Jiaozhu] Rumors Spread
Even though he had done this kind of thing not long ago, it still felt like the first time, and he felt a little reluctant and embarrassed.
He thought so and expected Ajahn to make the next move, but Ajahn just asked him, "Where are you hurt?"
Chen Lian opened his eyes and looked at A Jiang in confusion. He met A Jiang's concerned eyes, without any desire, but full of concern.
The redness on his face faded. "I'm not hurt. What's wrong?"
Ah Jiang looked at Chen Lian. He didn't look like he was lying, but he had indeed felt a demonic aura coming out of Chen Lian's body. He thought that when he was away, Chen Lian had fought with the demons, so this misunderstanding occurred.
"It's okay. I didn't go to Xishan to see you. I thought you..." A Jiang made up an excuse and stopped talking halfway. He was not good at lying and was afraid that Shen Lian would notice something if he said too much.
Chen Lian gently stroked the back of A Jiang's head and did not tell anyone about the conversation with the alien in Xishan.
Suddenly he felt someone breaking into his barrier, "Someone is coming."
Upon hearing this, A Jiang stood up, and Shen Lian also stood up, tidied up his clothes, opened the door to check, and found out that the person who came was one of the elders in the sect - Qian Zhao.
"I just heard from the disciples that the Sect Master has returned, but why is Jinlan nowhere to be seen?"
"She may be dead."
"Dead?" Qian Zhao heard this and his eyes widened. He just went to watch a martial arts competition, how could he die? Was Shen Lian joking?
Yu Jinlan is his sister's daughter, and he secretly helped Yu Jinlan to worship Chen Lian as her master, in order to control Yu Jinlan's power.
"Master, you can't say such things carelessly."
"Elder Qian, you don't believe it?" Chen Lian raised his head and asked, "Yinyou Valley was attacked by the demons, and Yu Jinlan accidentally died there. There's nothing wrong with that, right?"
"It's just that I returned before the news arrived. What doubts do you still have, Elder Qian?"
Qian Zhao's eyes twitched a little. He had already planned to discuss the next plan after Yu Jinlan came back, but he didn't expect...
"That corpse..."
"He's been crushed to ashes." Chen Lian's tone was a little impatient. He knew the relationship between Qian Zhao and Yu Jinlan, and also knew what Qian Zhao wanted to do. Just because he didn't point it out didn't mean Qian Zhao could ride on his head and act like an accomplice.
Qian Zhao swallowed hard, but before he could speak, Shen Lian chased him away.
"I'm going to be in seclusion these few days. If you have nothing to do, please don't disturb me." Chen Lian felt more and more that if he didn't take care of himself, he might explode within three days.
After saying that, Shen Lian closed the door without caring that Qian Zhao was still there.
It was three days later that Shen Lian heard that Yinyou Valley was invaded and attacked by demons.
Jing Yinchuan was cunning and cunning. Although he did not get any good luck, those famous and upright sects were not much better off. They were either injured or seriously injured.
Even Yan Ru fell for Jing Yinchuan's trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain, and the spirit pearl fell into the hands of the demons. This time Jing Yinchuan came for the spirit pearl, in order to compete for the position of the demon king. With the spirit pearl, he could achieve twice the result with half the effort. After obtaining the spirit pearl, he quickly withdrew.
Jing Yinchuan returned to Jingcheng, which he had not seen for a long time. He had been away for decades, but the place had not changed at all.
"Where is Chen Lian's beloved disciple?"
"Your Highness, he has been imprisoned in the Demon Prison."
Jing Yinchuan nodded. He didn't believe that Chen Lian would stand idly by while Yu Jinlan was in his hands?
He went straight to the magic prison and met Yu Jinlan who was imprisoned there.
"Please let me go, please!"
"Let you go?" Jing Yinchuan couldn't help but laugh. "I still need you to lure Sect Master Shen here. How can I let you go?"
"He won't come to save me!" Yu Jinlan gritted his teeth, crawled to Jing Yinchuan on his knees, and pulled the corner of his clothes. "I know Chen Lian's real weakness. As long as you let me go, I will tell you!"
"Weakness?" Jing Yinchuan narrowed his eyes slightly, then he smiled and said, "Tell me about it."
Jing Yinchuan raised his hand, and the demon soldier behind him brought up a chair from somewhere. He sat in front of Yu Jinlan. He wanted to see what Yu Jinlan could say.
"The person Chen Lian really cares about is the demon slave beside him! In the past, he would either beat and scold the demon slaves at every turn, or torture them to death, and none of them would survive more than a month. But he particularly likes that mermaid and treats her very well, eating and using the same things as her."
Yu Jinlan saw all of this and was envious to death. She had known Shen Lian for so long, and had been his disciple for so long, yet Shen Lian had never shown any concern for her. Even a glance at her was considered charity. But Ah Jiang was different. Ever since Ah Jiang arrived at the Jingling Waterside Pavilion, Shen Lian's eyes had been fixed on Ah Jiang.
He built a pool for Ajahn, did not kill him, and drove himself away.
She saw all of this.
She also told all these things.
"That mermaid is still sleeping in his room. If they weren't in love, how could Chen Lian let a demon slave sleep in his bed?"
Yu Jinlan didn't know whether they were engaged or not, nor did she know whether A Jiang had slept with Chen Lian, but she was right in her general prediction.
"You should catch that mermaid."
Jing Yinchuan thought about what Yu Jinlan said. That day he met Chen Lian and another person in Jing Restaurant. He thought that person was Chen Lian's demon slave.
He thought carefully about the details of that day. The two behaved distantly, not as intimate as Yu Jinlan said. He asked someone to check what they did in Jing Restaurant, but they just drank a few drinks.
but……
There was a strange smell in the private room where they were having a drink. It was hard to describe the smell, it was very fishy, not like the smell of fish. He couldn't put his finger on it, but it made him feel hot.
"Do I need you to teach me how to do things?"
The temperature around suddenly dropped to an extreme low, and Yu Jinlan immediately shut his mouth and dared not speak.
"Okay, since Shen Lian doesn't care about you, there's no need to keep you."
"No!" Yu Jinlan put her hands in front of her and screamed, "I still have something to say!!"
"Speak." Jing Yinchuan looked at Yu Jinlan's frightened expression calmly, and thought it was quite interesting to torture people like this. He crossed his legs and tapped the armrest with his long, pointed nails.
"You can't kill me! I said you can't kill me!"
Jing Yinchuan was amused by Yu Jinlan. He had never seen such a stupid person. He couldn't understand why Chen Lian would accept such a stupid apprentice. No wonder Chen Lian didn't even bother to give him a glance.
If it were him, he would just kill the man directly. Having such a stupid person would bring shame to His Highness Jing.
"I won't kill you. My word is as good as gold." He wanted to see what else Yu Jinlan could say.
"Chen Lian has broken through!" When Yu Jinlan went to Dongshan to find trouble with A Jiang, she smelled the smell of the fishing team inside. She also caught a glimpse of some changed clothes in the corner with white liquid on them. However, she was so focused on finding trouble with A Jiang at the time that she didn't pay much attention.
That thing could also belong to the demon slave, but the demon slave would never dare to do anything in front of Shen Lian. Shen Lian had just left, and Shen Lian's abnormal behavior towards the demon slave made her suspicious.
What made her even more certain was that when Shen Lianlinghong attended the competition, although he was covered by his hair, she still saw traces of ambiguity.
At that time, she didn't think too much about it, and just thought that Chen Lian had an allergic reaction to something and had a rash. Now that she thought about it, Chen Lian had been fasting for a long time, and she had never heard that Chen Lian was allergic to anything.
Besides, Chen Lian had that kind of experience when he was young. Who knows whether he is still a virgin?
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Jing Yinchuan seemed to be amused by anger. If Chen Lian Podao had no cultivation, how could he control the sword?
"He practiced the Hehuan Dao." Yu Jinlan accurately stated her guess. She didn't care whether Chen Lian had done it or not, as long as she could survive, it didn't matter to her.
Jing Yinchuan suddenly thought of the faint fishy smell in the private room. Could it be that Shen Lian was really moved? He laughed out loud. Once a person is moved, he will have weaknesses.
He stood up, left the magic prison, and then ordered Yu Jinlan to be released from the demon world.
He is a man of his words. If he said he would not kill, then he would not kill. Yu Jinlan is no longer of much use to him, so it is better to let him go so that he doesn't get in the way.
He had just talked with Yu Jinlan and sensed hatred in the other's eyes and tone. If he let Yu Jinlan go, he thought Yu Jinlan would find ways to deal with Chen Lian, so he would be a good chess piece.
As he expected, after Yu Jinlan was released, he immediately contacted Qian Zhao, and then asked the storyteller to tell some of Shen Lian's past, as well as the deeds of Shen Lian and A Jiang.
This incident caused a huge uproar, and almost the entire cultivation world knew about it.
Chen Lian learned about this incident after he came out of retreat. He almost had to go back into retreat again. He covered his chest with one hand and pinched his eyebrows with the other, and took several deep breaths before he calmed down.
He couldn't lose his composure.
He thought carefully and realized that almost everyone who knew about his childhood was dead, so how did this rumor spread?
The rumors were even more terrifying than anything he had experienced in his youth. They made something that didn't exist seem real, and described his unwillingness as seduction.
Chen Lian looked at the memorials written by the elders, all of which were about rumors, which gave him a headache.
Ajahn walked behind him, put his hands on his shoulders and gave him a shoulder massage.
"What are you doing?"
A Jiang didn't know what was going on at the moment. He had been guarding Chen Lian during the past few days of seclusion, fearing that something might go wrong.
Now that Shen Lian has come out of seclusion, he is naturally happy. He hasn't been happy with Shen Lian for a long time, and he misses Shen Lian so much.
He tilted his head and pecked Shen Lian lightly on the cheek.
Chen Lian was a little annoyed and pushed A Jiang away, "Stop making trouble."
A Jiang was somewhat displeased. He sat down beside Shen Lian, picked up the booklet and began to read. He had been in the mortal world for more than two months, and he could understand a lot of the texts in the world of cultivation.
He read it word by word, and finally understood what had happened. He frowned and saw that the booklet said that Chen Lian seduced his eldest brother and then seduced his senior brother, and after taking advantage of them, he eventually killed them.
"What nonsense!" Ajahn angrily threw the booklet aside.
