"That's not true. It's precisely because you're so close that you should have reported him as soon as you knew he was straying. That way, perhaps he could have stopped and returned to the right path," the clan leader said. "Your concealment and connivance will only lead him into the abyss, from which there will be no return."
He quite admired this disciple because he was in a high position and was in Zhao Zhengqi's position in the relationship between Zhao Zhengqi and Ning Chengfeng. So after hearing about this, he couldn't help but put himself in his shoes.
If one day I make a mistake, will my disciples protect me regardless of right or wrong like Ning Chengfeng, or will they report it to me with a righteous attitude?
As the sect leader, he certainly hopes that his disciples can behave uprightly, so as to ensure that the sect is upright and does not fall into evil ways.
But if I were Zhao Zhengqi, I would definitely like Ning Chengfeng, who values feelings.
Of course, I am definitely not Zhao Zhengqi, nor would I do what he did.
But just now, Ning Chengfeng did not reveal Zhao Zhengqi in front of the soul search, which made the sect leader look at him with a higher opinion.
Ning Chengfeng saluted with a face full of shame, "I was wrong. I know I was wrong and I am willing to accept the punishment."
"Before you are punished, please tell us the whole story first," said the hall master.
"yes."
So Ning Chengfeng began to talk, saying that the master had always been a good and kind person, and everything was normal, but for some reason he sometimes looked very gloomy, as if his face was covered with an invisible black veil.
Whenever this happened, when I went to visit my master and asked him about his situation, he would scold me and drive me away.
And just the day before yesterday, when he went to see his master, he accidentally discovered that his master was reading a purple book. When he noticed him coming, the master quickly put the book away and behaved very normally.
"But I still noticed something, because Master actually picked up the teacup and took a big sip! He usually just picked up the cup with two fingers and took small sips of tea, but that day he gripped the cup tightly and took a big sip. It was totally abnormal."
Ning Chengfeng frowned and recalled, "Today I went to see my master, but he left in a hurry because of something and told me to go back to practice. But after he left, I remembered the book and tried to look for it. I actually found it!"
"I had just flipped through a few pages of the book when I heard some movement at the door, so..." Ning Chengfeng lowered his head in shame.
"You mean, Zhao Zhengqi placed the book under the flower stand?" Master Li asked in confusion.
This is really strange. Shouldn't you close the door, send everyone around you away, and then look at something as secretive as this one carefully?
Even if I want to collect it, I will only put it in the Qiankun bag!
But Zhao Zhengqi actually put it outside without any hesitation. Is he really not afraid of being discovered or what?
This doesn't make sense.
"Yes, Master often stands there to practice, because there is a small medicinal field outside the window. He feels that the spiritual energy is surging there, which is most suitable for practice." Ning Chengfeng said with his head down.
It turns out that because it is close to the medicinal fields, practicing evil arts is more efficient... This makes sense.
Hall Master Li nodded, his brows relaxed, but he showed even more disdain towards Zhao Zhengqi.
He is really brave and fearless. Does he really think that no one can find out that he is secretly practicing evil magic?
Yes, he must have been practicing for a long time, but he had always been safe and sound, so he was careless.
perhaps……
Master Li went to see Ning Chengfeng.
Perhaps he was also certain that his apprentice was on the same page with him, and would conceal it for him even if he found out?
After the interrogation, the sect leader asked someone to bring Zhao Zhengqi over. At the same time, the people from the Law Enforcement Hall went to search Penglai Peak to see if there were any other abnormal behaviors.
"You guys, since there's nothing to do here, let's go to the side hall and have some tea first." The sect leader looked at Ning Zhishui and the others and said.
"yes!"
Ming Zhen responded and took the few irrelevant people away, leaving Ning Chengfeng alone to confront Ning Chengfeng.
Ning Zhishui followed Mingzhen out, and looked back at his second brother worriedly.
Ning Chengfeng felt her gaze and nodded at her almost imperceptibly, his expression showing the calmness of someone who had survived a disaster.
Ning Zhishui also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Junior Sister Ning, don't worry, your second brother will definitely be fine with this matter."
Ming Zhen thought she was worried that Ning Chengfeng would be punished. "Although he kept it a secret and didn't report it, we caught him just as he discovered it. Even if there is a punishment, it won't be too severe. It's just to serve as a warning to others."
"Thank you, Senior Sister Ming. That puts my mind at ease." Ning Zhishui forced a smile, but was still worried. "I didn't expect that my second brother would actually... Alas, I've always heard him say how good his master was to him. He not only taught him how to practice, but also how to be a good person. My second brother has always regarded Uncle Zhao as his father. I never thought he would actually..."
"This is Uncle Zhao's fault alone. It has nothing to do with your second brother." Ming Zhen said.
Yu Wanfeng snorted coldly, "That Zhao Zhengqi is secretly practicing evil techniques, which are related to puppetry. I don't know if he has killed anyone. He must be a heinous criminal. Don't trust his appearance."
"No, even if he secretly practices evil skills, he will not do anything to my second brother! He is very good to my second brother. My second brother said that he treats him better than my father. This must be sincere!" Ning Zhishui said innocently.
Deng Xi laughed when he heard this. "There's no good person who practices evil skills. Maybe he has some ulterior motive against your second brother, for example..."
He was suddenly stunned, thought of something, and went to see Yu Wanfeng.
Yu Wanfeng had not thought of this aspect at first, but when he saw Deng Xi's face full of astonishment and fear, his heart sank.
A very scary thought came to his mind, causing him to open his eyes slightly.
"Better than my biological father?" Ming Zhen, like him, realized something was wrong after being reminded of this. "Don't you think Uncle Zhao is a little too close to Junior Brother Ning? Isn't he practicing evil skills? Normally, he should stay away from people, but why would he accept a disciple?"
"Generally speaking, there are two types of people who practice evil techniques. One type has extremely poor aptitude and can't follow the right path, so they can only try deviant paths," Yu Wanfeng said with a frown. "The other type has a short lifespan and wants to try methods to prolong it."
"How old is Uncle Zhao?" Mingzhen suddenly asked.
The three of them looked at each other, all with shocked expressions.
They were not too sure because they were not very familiar with Zhao Zhengqi before. They just vaguely remembered that he seemed to be quite old.
If that's the case, it would be terrible.
Because many evil practitioners take the evil path just for one thing - to prolong their lifespan!
There is a quickest way to achieve this goal:
Possession.
