We know that Zhao Zhengqi's life span is short, he practices evil magic, and we also know that he is abnormally kind to his disciples... It is not difficult to draw a conclusion based on these things -
Is he trying to take over Ning Chengfeng's body?
Yu Wanfeng and the other two had a guess in their minds, and they were at least 50% sure of it.
Thinking of Ning Chengfeng again at this time, I couldn't help but mourn for him in silence.
When they left, they clearly saw that Ning Chengfeng looked dejected. He had no idea of the danger he was in and was still feeling guilty and sad for "betraying" his master.
"Well, I have something to ask Daddy. Junior Sister Ning, please wait here first and don't move."
Mingzhen said this and stood up hurriedly.
She had to tell her father and Hall Master Li about this new news so that she could verify it during the interrogation.
Ning Zhishui curled the corners of his lips slightly when he saw this.
The waiting time was not too long. Half an hour later, Yu Wanfeng received a message from Ming Zhen asking them to go to the main hall.
Ning Zhishui was Ning Chengfeng's sister and was also involved in this matter, so even though she was not a disciple of the sect, she was invited over.
As soon as Yu Wanfeng and Deng Xi entered the hall, they couldn't help but stop and their eyes widened.
They saw Zhao Zhengqi, but he looked like a madman, his eyes bloodshot, and he was roaring at Ning Chengfeng.
"You're the one who caused me—"
This is, the soul-searching technique has been used?
Ning Chengfeng trembled and hid behind Master Li, feeling painful, self-blaming, and a little scared, and he covered his face with his hands.
Perhaps because Zhao Zhengqi was too noisy, Hall Master Li knocked him unconscious with a palm strike. "Take him away. You will be executed at the mountain gate in an hour."
"yes!"
The disciples responded and two of them carried him out.
“Second brother!”
Ning Zhishui shouted and ran towards Ning Chengfeng, "Are you okay? Did he hurt you?"
"No, no." Ning Chengfeng shook his head. "Fortunately, Hall Master Li and the Sect Master were here, so Master couldn't hurt me."
He lowered his head in dejection, "However, the Sect Master has just ordered that he be executed in public as a warning to others."
There are actually teachers in the sect who are secretly learning evil arts. Now that this matter has been discovered, it must be dealt with seriously.
When Hall Master Li's men went to capture Zhao Zhengqi today, many disciples had already seen this. They could have concealed it if they wanted to, but no one could guarantee that the news would not get out.
Rather than letting the news leak out and causing people to speculate, it is better to deal with it openly and severely and strengthen the disciples' precautions.
In this way, if there are still pests like Zhao Zhengqi inside the door, they can be eliminated at once without leaving any trouble.
Zhao Zhengqi should naturally be executed for making such a mistake.
"Second brother, are you still blaming yourself? This isn't your fault." Ning Zhishui grabbed his sleeve, "It's just... you don't have a master anymore. How are you going to cope in the future? Otherwise, come with me to the Xianlai Sect. I'll beg the master to accept you as his disciple."
As soon as these words were spoken, before anyone else could react, the Sect Master was the first to become anxious.
What a joke!
Although their Zhengyang Sect is not as good as the Xianlai Sect, it is also a well-known sect. If all their disciples follow others, how will other sects view them?
If he meets the head of the Xianlai Sect, Cha Yin, in the future, will he be able to hold his head up high?
Mingqi, the leader of Zhengyang Sect, has learned about Ning Zhishui's origins from his daughter Mingzhen, and also knows that her master is the Great Elder Changyin.
If someone else had asked Changyin to accept his brother as a disciple, Mingqi would have simply sneered.
Who didn't know that Chang Yin had high standards for his disciples? So many people wanted to become his disciples, but he rejected them all. It wasn't until he met Ning Zhishui that he finally considered taking him in as a disciple.
How could he accept someone as a disciple just because someone pushed one onto him?
But if this person is Ning Zhishui... then Mingqi really can't be sure.
In the past few months since Chang Yin accepted Ning Zhishui, his preference for this little disciple was obvious to almost everyone who knew him, and even the cultivators outside had heard about it.
If Ning Zhishui brought it up, maybe Chang Yin would actually nod for her sake.
And even if Changyin doesn't accept Ning Chengfeng, Xianlai Sect will definitely accept him.
"This... then I need to ask the sect leader's opinion first." Ning Chengfeng actually thought about it seriously after hearing this.
"That's absolutely not possible! You're a disciple of my sect, how can you just go to another sect?" Ming Qi said immediately, "How about this, why don't you just... become my disciple?"
Ming Qi could find another master for Ning Chengfeng, but there are many uncertainties in this matter.
Everyone who knows the inside story knows that Zhao Zhengqi was exposed because of Ning Chengfeng. Although he did not bring it up on his own initiative, it was indeed caused by him.
What if his new master minds this, holds a grudge against him, and is unwilling to treat him sincerely?
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Mingqi. He was just a disciple. Whether he was treated well or not was a matter of personal fate, and he had no control over it.
However, if this person's biological sister is Ning Zhishui from the Xianlai Sect, the matter cannot be handled so hastily and casually.
Because Ning Zhishui's potential is so huge. She has shown such performance when she is only in her teens. So where will she stop in the future?
If there was a rift between Zhengyang Sect and her because of Ning Chengfeng's matter, would that lead to a rift between Xianlai Sect and Zhengyang Sect in the future?
After much thought, in order to cut off this possibility, and considering Mingqi already admired Ning Chengfeng, he made the decision at this moment -
Isn't it just taking in an apprentice? He can do it!
Ning Chengfeng seemed to be stupid, he let out a cry, then stared at Ming Qi in silence.
Ming Zhen was also surprised after hearing this, but he quickly smiled and said, "That's great news. Congratulations, Junior Brother Ning."
"Yes, in this way, Mingzhen will really be your senior sister!" Deng Xi joked.
Mingzhen is her father's first apprentice. Although she is not the oldest, she has more experience, so the younger apprentices who come after her call her the eldest sister.
As time went by, and because she was already very strong, other people gradually started to use this title as well.
But if Ning Chengfeng also took her father as his master, then the title of "Senior Sister" would be more logical and appropriate.
"Master, are you serious?" Ning Chengfeng asked in astonishment.
"Of course, otherwise why would I lie to you?"
"Thank you, Sect Master!"
Ning Chengfeng excitedly lifted his robe and knelt down.
Mingqi pretended to frown, "What did you call me?"
"...Master!" Ning Chengfeng quickly changed his tone, "Master, please accept my disciple's greetings."
After becoming a disciple, there was a "criticism" meeting for the entire sect, and Ning Zhishui was fortunate enough to watch it.
In front of the entire sect, Sect Leader Mingqi announced Zhao Zhengqi's crimes.
