With Wang Jin's statement and Zhong Qian's tough stance, it's no longer realistic for Rong Fuzhen and the others to make things difficult for Lin Xiuyuan.
After hearing Wang Jin's words, Rong Fuzhen could only nod and say, "Yes, what Senior Brother says is very true. At present, the important matters of the sect should be the priority."
He paused, then snorted coldly and said, "With Senior Brother Han's combat strength, he would never have the ability to cause trouble. He's probably still out there seeking opportunities, or he's encountered some monsters from both the righteous and demonic sides... Even if Lin Xiuyuan really did it, I believe he won't escape the sect's watchful eye in the end!"
In closing, Rong Fuzhen gave Lin Xiuyuan a deep look.
Although he didn't think Lin Xiuyuan had this ability from the beginning, the clues pointed to Lin Xiuyuan.
It is impossible not to consider this possibility... However, along with considering this possibility, a strong sense of shock surges uncontrollably.
Rong Fuzhen could only suppress this thought deeply and not give it a second thought!
Lin Xiuyuan met his gaze expressionlessly, and seeing that things had come to this, he didn't say anything more.
Seeing this, Wang Jin smiled slightly, and then cheerfully invited everyone to sit down and discuss the next arrangements.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the matter had been settled. If they had continued to make trouble, who knows what unpredictable consequences would have occurred.
Only then did the shock in everyone's hearts gradually subside.
Ultimately, the matter was never definitively resolved. Although these clues existed, they were mostly speculations stemming from Rong Fuzhen and others' attempts to make things difficult for Lin Xiuyuan.
Because, from any perspective, it's highly unlikely that Lin Xiuyuan possesses the combat power to kill Han Chenhua!
This is the point that most people, after their initial shock and disbelief, come to believe.
Although there are some clues and speculations, the possibility is too low.
Most people shared Rong Fuzhen's opinion: the likelihood of such a thing happening was extremely low. Although this small possibility couldn't be ignored, just thinking about it was enough to stir up a storm of emotions. So, they decided to refrain from speculation and wait for the truth to come out!
"Thank you for speaking up, Senior Brother Zhong. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would be in a rather dangerous situation."
Lin Xiuyuan sat down next to Zhong Qian, cupped his hands in greeting, and spoke in a low and sincere voice.
The genuine gratitude conveyed in his words was entirely sincere. As he said, without Zhong Qian's firm stance, the situation would have been very different!
He wasn't sure how much of the other party was certain that he had killed Han Chenhua, and estimated that the possibility was slim. To outsiders, this was hard to believe.
It's likely they're trying to take this opportunity to attack him. If he's isolated and helpless, facing the harassment of the Yunmai disciples, he'll probably be in serious trouble. While his life isn't in immediate danger, given the public eye, there's still a degree of peril; he'll likely face suppression at the very least!
Zhong Qian smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It's alright. We're all from the same sect, and we're fellow disciples from the same spiritual vein, so we can't ignore you. Besides, before we entered the secret realm, Senior Sister Wang sent me a message while she was in seclusion, saying that it might be my first time in the secret realm and that I should take a look at it."
Zhong Qian paused for a moment, then smiled knowingly and said, "We can't ignore what our Senior Sister Lingxiao says. Besides, you might be our Senior Brother in the future. Accepting her favor in advance is just a formality to me, hehe."
"Senior brother is too kind." Upon hearing this, Lin Xiuyuan couldn't help but chuckle, and finally bowed gratefully, thanking him once again.
There's not much to discuss about what comes next. The specific arrangements were already discussed a few days ago, and this is just a reconfirmation so that the group of people who just returned know the general arrangements!
However, some setbacks eventually occurred.
When discussing how to strengthen the defenses of this garrison and who would be in charge,
The Yunmai disciple who had previously questioned and doubted Lin Xiuyuan stood up again.
These members of the Han family might be trying to suppress Lin Xiuyuan and prevent him from establishing his authority, or perhaps they have other reasons...
Fang Lian said directly, "Lin Xiuyuan is in charge of this area? That's not appropriate. Although he has shown great combat strength, he is still inexperienced and this is probably his first time facing such a situation. This arrangement is extremely inappropriate!"
Lin Xiuyuan slightly raised his eyelids, glanced at him calmly, but said nothing.
However, although Lin Xiuyuan did not care about this matter, the Lingxiao disciples were somewhat unconvinced. Not only did they share the same lineage, but they had also witnessed Lin Xiuyuan's extraordinary talent over the years, and the Lingxiao disciples were full of admiration and respect for him.
Of course, if Zhong Qian, Wang Jin, Rong Fuzhen, or others were to guard the garrison, then perhaps there would be no objection.
But now it's obvious they're suppressing Lin Xiuyuan, and it seems they're planning to replace him with a more senior member of the Yunmai lineage. That's something they're not happy about! It would be most suitable to have someone they know well take charge.
Of course, it's not that I don't trust others, after all, they are all fellow disciples, just different in their cultivation methods and different main lineages.
This is just human nature. Compared to others, Lin Xiuyuan is a little 'closer' in terms of status, which seems to allow him to take care of them in every way.
Immediately, a disciple of Lingxiao Sect stood up and retorted: "What do you mean by shallow seniority? Senior Brother Lin has already completed his term of service in the sect. Furthermore, Senior Brother Lin joined the sect halfway through his cultivation journey and has already been wandering outside for many years, establishing his foundation as a rogue cultivator!!"
"You've probably walked more roads than you've eaten meals, and that's what you call lacking experience?"
"Yes, that's right."
"Senior Brother Lin entered the sect halfway through his studies and has reached this point, which shows that he is an extraordinary talent with remarkable skills. How can he not be qualified to oversee the station?"
One after another, the disciples of Lingxiao spoke up to refute.
Upon seeing this, Fang Lian sneered and continued:
"The defense of our base is of paramount importance! It is not only the foundation of our survival, but also the life and death of those of us who are fighting. If other forces discover that our base is undefended and take the opportunity to invade, then when we retreat, we may face a pincer attack!"
"Yes, what Senior Brother Fang said is also quite right."
"Although Senior Brother Lin is indeed extraordinary, as you all say, this is his first time participating in something like this. If there is any oversight, the whole thing will collapse!"
"This matter concerns the safety of our men going into battle, so how can we be careless?"
For a moment, the room was filled with the sounds of arguing.
However, the situation was one-sided, since there were mostly Yunmai disciples here!
Therefore, it seems that the final result was foreseen.
