The news that Xiang Jianjue had simply executed Liu Man soon reached the ears of the leader of the Qingjian Clan.
"Master, Xiang Jianjue is too arrogant!"
A true disciple looked unhappy and snorted coldly, "No matter how serious the mistakes Liu Man made, he is still a disciple of the Qingjian Sect. We should personally clean up the mess. How can we let him do it for us?"
Lian Fang sat in the main seat, listening to the disciples' complaints in silence.
Since Xiang Jianjue joined the sect, he has always kept a low profile. Even though he was criticized a few years ago for his stubborn refusal to become a disciple, he did not react at all.
Forty years ago, Xiang Jianjue's cultivation was hindered.
Senior Brother Fang Qingcang, the leader of the Yuanjian Clan, found her and asked her to act as a matchmaker for Xiang Jianjue and seek guidance from Senior Sister Xunfeng.
But before they could reach an agreement, the difficulty was resolved due to the visit of a ghost cultivator.
Later, after some inquiries, she naturally found out that the ghost cultivator was the attendant of the Lidian Sword Master.
Afterwards, Xiang Jianjue's practice made rapid progress. He soon broke through the out-of-body stage, comprehended the sword intent, and became a true disciple.
After that, Xiang Jianjue continued to gain experience outside until he returned from the sect ceremony. His style of doing things changed from low-key to sensational.
Thinking of this, a strange look flashed in Lian Fang's eyes.
It is not difficult to infer that Xiang Jianjue had contact with the ancient god Taiyin forty years ago. His current behavior is rampant and contrary to his nature, which is most likely due to Taiyin's secret instructions.
Allow the four sects disciples to act recklessly, and then let Xiang Jianjue come out to establish his authority.
Is the ancient god Taiyin planning to use Xiang Jianjue to establish his prestige among the four meridians?
Uncle Xuan and Sister Feng had not shown up until this point, clearly condoning the other party's actions.
Is this the condition that the ancient Taiyin God set for the disciples of the Wanjian Sect to detoxify?
Lian Fang couldn't help but come up with this speculation.
Now, half a year has passed, and what happened in Xitian City has already spread.
The leader of the Wanjian Clan, Senior Brother Wang Chuxiao, was poisoned that year and was determined to die. He left the sect without a word.
They all thought he would never come back.
Unexpectedly, Wang Chuxiao went for a stroll in Xitian City and came back alive and well, with the centrifugal poison in his body already cured.
She also went to visit Senior Brother Wang specifically to ask what exactly happened, but Senior Brother Wang remained tight-lipped and refused to reveal any information.
Coupled with the sudden appearance of the "Ancient Sword Master", it is hard not to think that Wang Chuxiao's antidote is related to Taiyin.
It’s just that legendary gods like the Ancient God of Taiyin have always been high and mighty.
He probably never cares about the birth and death of all living things.
Moreover, according to the news from Xitian City, the ancient Taiyin God is cruel and feeds on the fate of humans.
Brother Sect Leader and his men have joined forces with the Ancient God of the Moon. Aren’t they afraid that the cooperation will fail and they will be ambushed?
Lian Fang couldn't help but feel worried, but she also knew that as a deputy vein master, she couldn't influence the decisions of the sect's top leaders.
She sighed inwardly, then looked up at her own disciple and said calmly:
"The first bird to stick its head out gets shot. Xiang Jianjue's actions will undoubtedly put himself in danger. We don't need to get involved."
Upon hearing this, the true disciple became anxious: "But if that's the case, wouldn't Xiang Jianjue's WeChat in the Four Meridians have to bypass you, Master..."
"Yan'er, in the world of cultivation, strength is respected."
Lian Fang interrupted his disciple in a deep voice, "Xiang Jianjue now has a good master, whose status is indeed more noble than mine.
But if he becomes obsessed with fame and gain and neglects his cultivation..."
At this point, Lian Fang's tone deepened: "There's a long way to go, we'll just have to wait and see."
Upon hearing this, the female cultivator called "Yan'er"'s eyes suddenly became much clearer. "Master, I understand. I will go back to practice now!"
After saying this, she bowed her head, turned around and left.
Master is right, strength is the root of everything
Nowadays, the relationships among the disciples in the sect are extremely complicated, and one small move can affect the entire sect.
If Xiang Jianjue really wanted to do as he said and clean up the sect's tradition, he would offend countless people, both openly and secretly.
He is now protected by his new master and is safe, but the Lidian Sword Master does not look reliable.
If he leaves one day, Xiang Jianjue will lose his backing, and it goes without saying what the outcome will be.
Not long after Yan'er left, Yuan Wanyin hurried into the hall.
Lian Fang saw his youngest disciple and a soft look appeared on his face. "Did Xiang Jianjue leave?"
"Disciple came here to talk about this."
Yuan Wanyin looked embarrassed: "After dealing with Liu Man, I was about to leave, but was stopped by another inner sect disciple in the sect and asked to go to the Law Enforcement Hall.
Furthermore, this matter is somewhat related to my disciples."
Lian Fang's eyes narrowed slightly, and she quickly thought of something, "Is it your inner sect cousin?"
Yuan Wanyin looked even more embarrassed when she heard this, and nodded slightly: "Yes."
Lian Fang hesitated for a moment, "To restore his reputation, Xiang Jianjue will definitely produce evidence and handle the matter impartially, just as he did with Liu Man.
However, if the other party is impatient, the means may be more drastic.
If you personally come out and watch over him, I believe he will restrain himself."
At this point, Lian Fang's tone became sharp: "But if your cousin really makes a serious mistake, you must not cover it up, do you understand?"
Yuan Wanyin quickly bowed his head and said, "Understood. I will be leaving now."
After saying that, Yuan Wanyin formed a sword gesture and instantly turned into a rainbow and flew away.
…
"Uncle Xiang, how could you just believe Lin Shuang's one-sided words and wrongly accuse me?"
In the Law Enforcement Hall, Zhou Niaoniao's eyes were red, and her eyes were filled with grievance:
“My relationship with Lin Shuang is indeed cold, but I have never intended to harm anyone.
Lin Shuang missed the sect competition twice and was promoted to a core disciple. It was her own bad luck. How could she take her anger out on the disciples? "Wuwu..."
Looking at Zhou Niaoniao crying bitterly, Xiang Jianjue looked cold and didn't react at all.
The master has not given any instructions yet, and he doesn't believe anything these two people say.
He turned to look at Lin Shuang standing on the other side: "Zhou Niaoniao plotted against you twice. Did you see it with your own eyes?"
Lin Shuang clenched her sleeves and looked at Xiang Jian, who was not moved by Zhou Niaoniao's show of weakness. She seemed to have generated infinite courage and said through gritted teeth:
"Uncle Xiang is kind and stands up for me, but I cannot deceive him because of this.
Zhou Niaoniao has a cousin from the same clan who is the true inheritor of this lineage and is also the most beloved disciple of the lineage master.
If the disciple produces evidence, can Uncle-Master... protect him?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Niaoniao's expression suddenly changed.
Xiang Jianjue glanced at Zhou Niaoniao and had a plan in mind.
No wonder Master didn't send any instructions through voice transmission. It turned out that Lin Shuang had been prepared, but she just needed someone to back her up.
This kind of patient and decisive character is somewhat similar to that of his master.
As he thought this, Xiang Jianjue's brows softened subconsciously: "Just bring it out. If the evidence is conclusive, no one will let you suffer any more injustice."
Lin Shuang has been patient for many years and has long developed the habit of not showing his emotions.
However, after hearing Xiang Jianjue's promise, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy in his eyes.
After twenty years of hardship and perseverance, she finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel!
