Chapter 314: Killing (1)
Not long after, Xing Li received the following news: a person suspected to be Deacon Xing He appeared.
He lowered his eyes and thought for a long time, then solemnly instructed the people around him: "Keep an eye on him and continue investigating."
"yes."
After his men left, Xing stood up and walked towards the main peak.
When Xu Qianjia heard the news that he was coming, he looked a little surprised. This man was stubborn and often went against his wishes. He didn't know why he came here now, but when Xing Li came in, he adjusted his expression.
"Master Xing, what's going on?"
Xing Li simply bowed and said, "Xing He has appeared."
Xing He was the young butler who led people to the Dayless Forest at that time.
When Xu Qianjia heard the name, he immediately perked up and asked, "Where is he?"
He did not give a direct answer, but said: "I need the torturers in your hands."
After Yue Qiran and Xing Zhan met with accidents, the Xing Hall was torn into pieces. Except for those who escaped, some people were neutral and obeyed everyone's orders, some people obeyed Xu Qianjia's orders, some people listened to Xing He, and there was also a group of potential disciples who wanted to escape every day. They all acted independently, and among them, the vast majority of the new disciples who entered the Xing Hall were biased towards Xu Qianjia.
Xu Qianjia directly put forward the conditions: "After catching him, my people will be in charge of interrogating Xing He."
"You are the Young Sect Master. Who in the Punishment Hall is not yours?"
Faced with this answer, his face darkened and he said, "Xing Li, don't play tricks on me."
Xing Li looked at the Young Sect Master indifferently and said, "Young Sect Master, it's not that I don't trust you, but you also played a role in their escape, didn't you?"
Xu Qianjia's expression became even worse: "Xing Li!"
"Young Master, I don't need the people you have. I can directly cooperate with other peaks."
"Are you threatening me?"
Xing Li shook his head and said, "Of course not. I'm just stating a fact. Besides, I wouldn't do that."
Xu Qianjia looked surprised and obviously did not believe what he said.
He simply made his words clearer: "Young Sect Master, the sect is now in trouble both internally and externally. Even if it's just for the sake of the sect, your position cannot be shaken. The sect cannot afford to have internal strife again."
Xu Qianjia's expression relaxed. This was indeed true. If his position as the young sect leader changed, those conflicts would definitely be exposed.
Seeing his expression soften, Xing Li continued, "Young Sect Master, it's not that I don't want to hand the person over to you, but I'm really worried. Xing He has a lot of connections and spies, and that's the key point. But Young Sect Master seems to be too focused on other things."
He stared at him intently for a long time, then nodded slowly: "But, my people have to watch from the side."
“That’s what should be done.”
After Xing Li left, Xu Qianjia whispered, "Old Xu, please go and see if this Xing He is real or fake, and also keep an eye out for the presence of Senior Sister."
"good."
After the man in the dark disappeared, Xu Qianjia's expression relaxed. Old Xu had been watching in the dark, and he was really in the way when he was doing things.
At this moment, Xing Li, who had left, went to Lian Qingzhou's side.
Lian Qingzhou, arranging flowers, didn't look back at him and said leisurely, "Xing He is very good at hiding. How could he be easily discovered by your people?"
Upon hearing this, Xing Li's expression relaxed slightly: "It was his former deputy who discovered it."
"That's possible." Lian Qingzhou looked at the flowers he had arranged and smiled with satisfaction. "Don't let Xu Qianjia's men get hurt this time—there are too few people on the main peak, and we can't let anything go wrong."
"Don't worry, Junior Sister. I know what's going on."
Xing Li retreated, looking much more relaxed. After all, among the four brothers and sisters in the main peak, there was still one who could stand out and directly help her become the young sect leader in the future, thus avoiding competition from other peaks.
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but sigh. The current Minglan Sect is really not as good as before. If Xu Qianjia could stabilize the situation and not do so many things he shouldn't do, he would not contact Lian Qingzhou.
He Feicheng, a confidant on the side, whispered: "Don't worry, Hall Master, the sect will get better and better."
Xing Li said irritably, "I hope so. Go tell the Young Sect Master that I want to see Xing Zhan."
He Feicheng agreed, and on the way to find the young sect leader, he met Xu Zhiruo.
"Junior Brother Xu, why do you look so sad?"
Xu Zhiruo perked up and asked with a smile, "Where are you going, Brother He?"
"I need to see the Young Master for something."
"Then I won't disturb Senior Brother He from doing his business."
After He Feicheng got the promise, Xing Li entered the room. Xing Zhan still looked relaxed, even though he was covered in blood.
He looked at Xing Zhan and said, "Xing He has appeared. Soon, we will know the order you gave."
"Really? Then good luck to you."
Hearing this innocuous remark, Xing Li flew into a rage: "Execute him!"
"That's enough. What the hell are you yelling at me?" Xing Zhan raised his eyes and looked at him. "Xing Li, Xing He is more stubborn than you. You can't get him to say what he doesn't want to say."
He said angrily, "You have backbone? What do you mean by backbone? You think you have backbone when you mess up the sect? Xing Zhan, the sect shouldn't have been in this state in the first place. It's you who retaliated against the sect and caused the main peak to be unable to move forward. This has caused other peaks to have inappropriate thoughts and endless internal strife."
Xing Zhan sneered, "As for that Xu Qianjia, how could he be qualified to order the Xingtang around? Xing Li, look at the Xingtang now, how can it be decent?"
Xing Li suddenly calmed down and said, "Xing Zhan, as long as you think it through and stop thinking about dealing with the main peak, I can return the position of hall master to you. After all, some people only listen to you. Only if you step forward can the Xing Hall truly unite."
Xing Zhan looked at him for a long time, until he turned around and prepared to leave, he said: "Xing Li, you are wrong, they don't listen to me, they listen to her."
Xing Li turned to look at him: "She is already a traitor."
"What if it's not?"
He was silent for a full minute before replying, "She must be. This is the best for the main peak and the sect."
Xing Zhan said with emotion, "Senior Sister once said that you are more loyal to the sect than I am. It is indeed true."
Xing Li's eyes were filled with complex emotions, and he even changed his address: "Master, I don't know what you are hiding, but it would be best if she is really dead. I don't want to kill her."
"Xing Li, if we get to the bottom of this and find out the truth, what will you do?"
After a long silence, he said, "I will kill you, but I also hope that this day will never come."
He has completely stood on Lian Qingzhou's side. For this reason, it is best that the eldest sister is not alive, and Xing Zhan cannot continue to investigate. Otherwise, he will act without hesitation, even if he doesn't want to.
Xing Zhan lowered his voice: "You know the truth."
"So what? Everything has already happened. Everything is for the benefit of the sect."
