Chapter 44: Can't I ask for justice for Eighth Senior Brother Cong Chen? ...
Li Shiqing was about to refuse, thinking that with this outsider present, it would be inconvenient for them to target Cijian Peak.
After all, these people from Yaowang City seem to be on the side of Cijian Peak.
The disciple leading the way whispered to Li Shiqing, "The Sect Master has personally agreed. The Daoists from Medicine King City can go wherever they want. As long as it doesn't involve the sect's secrets or foundation, they can see anything they want."
Li Shiqing's words immediately blocked his throat, choking him and making him feel uncomfortable all over.
Han Qingyu, who was listening nearby, was also extremely unhappy: "How can the Sect Master be so servile to the people of Medicine King City? This is a disgrace to our Canglan Sect, isn't it?!"
Hearing this, everyone's faces showed some surprise, but they did not dare to agree. Han Qingyu relied on being the direct disciple of the Great Elder to dare to speak like this about the Sect Master. Ordinary disciples like them would not dare to do so.
Han Qingyu felt embarrassed and ashamed when no one agreed with her, as if she were a clown.
When Qin Xueyang heard this, he didn't say anything, but just smiled.
Seeing such a rude person, Xiao Jingwen immediately became unhappy and said bluntly, "This is what your Canglan Sect owes us, Yaowang City! Luo Qingyao sacrificed the lives of several of our Yaowang City disciples, and we haven't settled the debt yet! Now we're just collecting some interest!"
As soon as Xiao Jingwen said this, many disciples of the Canglan Sect couldn't help but look at each other in astonishment.
What they heard was that Junior Sister Luo was murdered by the people from Cijian Peak in the Strange Fire Secret Realm of Yaowang City, so she was seriously injured. After leaving the secret realm, she almost couldn't leave Yaowang City, and it took a lot of effort for her to come back.
Why is what this disciple from Medicine King City said completely different from what they know?
After a few breaths of astonishment, Han Qingyu erupted in fury. "You... you're slandering me! When Junior Sister Luo returned to the sect, her tendons and veins were shattered, her dantian was almost completely destroyed, and she was barely alive. How could she... how could she have killed several disciples from Medicine King City all by herself?"
Many people hesitated when they thought of Luo Qingyao's wounded appearance when she just returned to the sect.
If we combine the two sides, doesn't it mean that the people from Yaowang City deliberately intercepted and killed Senior Sister Luo/Junior Sister Luo, and Senior Sister Luo/Junior Sister Luo killed several disciples from Yaowang City before escaping?
Thinking of this, many people looked at the disciples of Yaowang City with unfriendly eyes, and even had murderous intent in their eyes.
Cao Shengjin also echoed, "That's right! Don't think you can slander Junior Sister Luo with just a few words! Junior Sister Luo is kind and compassionate. She treats even those who are not from the same sect with courtesy. She is very kind. How could she possibly kill a disciple from Medicine King City?"
"Even if he was killed, it must be the fault of you people from Yaowang City!" someone else shouted excitedly.
Nan Si Ning and Wu Che rolled their eyes:
"You're really crazy!" Nan Sining couldn't help but complain in a voice transmission.
"Yeah...ah? What's wrong? That senior brother Cao's name is Cao Shengjin." Wu Che corrected her.
Nan Si Ning pointed to his head, and Wu Che immediately understood: "Oh, so, Junior Sister, you mean that his brain is not normal. Why do you use the word nerves?"
"I'll explain this to you later."
After being confronted by a group of Canglan Sect disciples, Xiao Jingwen was so angry that his neck turned red. He once again realized how brainless and disgusting Luo Qingyao's lickers were, so he felt even more guilty towards Nan Si Ning.
Seeing that his junior fellow disciple couldn't even argue, Qin Xueyang clicked his tongue in disdain and without saying a word, took out the photo stone again.
"Since you don't want to believe it, I'll let you see it with your own eyes."
As he spoke, a stream of spiritual energy was injected into the photo stone, and the photo stone began to play a clip of Luo Qingyao pretending to be aggrieved and pitiful and making all kinds of excuses.
Nan Si Ning exclaimed, "This photo stone can be used like this? I thought it could only be played from the beginning, with no ability to fast forward or rewind!"
Just as Nan Si Ning finished sighing, he heard Xiao Jingwen approaching him and said complacently: “Huh! Now they know how wrong they are, right?”
Nan Sining sighed that Xiao Jingwen had a simple mind, so he thought things were too simple.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, this is because you don't understand human nature. It's difficult for people to admit their mistakes. Even if they discover they're wrong, their first reaction is to find excuses and reasons to justify that misconception. Do you want them to feel that they're wrong, or even feel ashamed? That's impossible! Not to mention..."
Nan Sining sent a message directly to Xiao Jingwen.
Xiao Jingwen was a little flattered: "Junior Sister Nan, you are willing to communicate with me?!"
Nan Sining: ...
I knew there was something wrong with this guy's brain circuit.
Xiao Jingwen said to himself: "However, are you people from the Canglan Sect so unreasonable? The evidence has been laid out, but you are unwilling to care about and believe the facts?"
Nan Si Ning said disdainfully, "Don't use the Canglan Sect to refer to us. We at Cijian Peak are untainted by the muddy waters. We are not the same kind of people as them!"
Xiao Jingwen quickly replied: "Junior Sister Nan is right, you are not the same kind of people as them. Everyone in Cijian Peak is reasonable, completely different from them."
Although Xiao Jingwen didn't seem to be very smart, his attitude was quite good, so Nan Sining didn't say much.
The release of the contents of the photo stone did cause some commotion. Many disciples of the Canglan Sect felt that their cognition had been impacted and could not help but discuss it.
When the four people from the Discipline Hall heard other people's doubts and derogatory words about Luo Qingyao, their faces suddenly became very ugly and they almost became furious and wanted to kill people.
Before they could react, Qin Sangyue spoke at the right moment, "Whether or not Luo Qingyao killed five disciples from Medicine King City is true is for the Sect Master and the elders to judge. We just need to understand our mission and responsibilities. As the Senior Sister of Cijian Peak, I have the responsibility to teach and protect every Junior Brother and Sister. And you, the Discipline Hall, also have the responsibility to provide a reasonable explanation for the confinement of our Eighth Junior Brother, Cong Chen!"
These words brought everyone's attention back to Cong Chen's matter.
The faces of Li Shiqing and the other three were as black as the bottom of a pot.
This Cijian Peak is really unreasonable and unreasonable!
However, with Qin Sangyue's previous words as a basis, if they cannot handle today's matter properly, the Discipline Hall will probably face more doubts in the future.
Now their master is in a critical period of cultivation, and he cannot be disturbed by such things.
Thinking of this, Li Shiqing said in a cold tone: "Follow me!"
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the Discipline Hall.
Qin Sangyue was the first to follow. After being stunned for a moment, the others hurriedly followed Qin Sangyue.
Wu Che sent a voice message to Nan Si Ning, screaming, "Ahhh, it has to be Senior Sister again! Senior Brother Li has given in! The people in the Discipline Hall have become more and more arrogant in recent years. I haven't seen anyone who can suppress him!"
Nan Si Ning just felt a headache coming from his shouting.
Xiao Jingwen also followed Nan Si Ning closely, and exclaimed: "Senior Sister Qin is worthy of being the eldest sister! Just like my eldest brother, she can argue and fight!"
Nan Sining thought about it and felt that Qin Sangyue and Shen Tangyuan did have quite a few similarities, no wonder they appreciated each other.
Li Shiqing was walking in front, and when he realized that there was a group of people following him, he could hardly contain his anger.
The people from Cijian Peak were a bit serious, but the people from Yaowang City were much more relaxed. As guests, the people from the Discipline Hall couldn't do anything to them, so they seemed particularly presumptuous.
Qin Xueyang also intended to support Ci Jianfeng, so he did not control the behavior of his junior brothers and sisters.
The people in Yaowang City were chatting and chuckling from time to time, which seemed very unserious, causing Li Shiqing and the other three to jump in their solar plexus.
They have been domineering in the sect for a long time, and they haven't been looked down upon and provoked like this for a long time. They feel very unhappy!
But even if they were furious, the people in Yaowang City didn't care at all. Who told them to stand on the side of their enemy Luo Qingyao?
Xiao Jingwen followed Nan Sining and said, "The head of your Medicine Peak told our master that he wants to discuss alchemy with us. It seems that our master wants to have an alchemy competition between the people of Medicine King City and Medicine Peak. Will you participate?"
Nan Si Ning was a little surprised. Wasn't the Medicine King here to settle scores and seek revenge? Why was he also engaging in academic exchanges?
But she changed her mind and thought that the Medicine King came here not only to ask for an explanation, but also to support Cijian Peak. Now he said that he would stay in Canglan Sect for a while, so she guessed that he would delay until the sect competition.
Now that he has come out, it is normal for a master to find opportunities for his disciples to gain experience and learn from each other.
After a brief thought, Nan Si Ning said, "If there really is one, I would naturally like to give it a try. Although I have competed with you, I have never competed with the brothers and sisters from Yaofeng, nor with Senior Sister Qin. I am really looking forward to it."
Nan Sining also felt that being a second-grade alchemist was not her true level. She wanted to compete with a third-grade alchemist like Qin Xueyang to see how high her ceiling was.
After hearing what Nan Si Ning said, Qin Xueyang turned around and said with a smile, "You little girl, you are quite confident."
Nan Si Ning smiled and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister Qin, for your praise. I do have some confidence in alchemy."
The people in Yaowang City were not surprised by Nan Sining's words, but instead made a few jokes.
Their conversation also reached the ears of the people in the Discipline Hall in front.
Cao Shengjin was a little skeptical and asked, "An alchemy competition? From what they said, that little bitch from Ci Jianfeng can also make pills?"
Han Qingyu snorted sarcastically, her tone sharp and sarcastic as she said, "How is that possible? She's a fool! How could a fool possibly make an elixir? She's lucky she didn't blow herself up."
Zhu Yun, who was relatively silent, said, "They don't look like they are faking it."
Han Qingyu still insisted on her opinion: "It can only be said that she has excellent acting skills. Hasn't Yaowang City always been very special to them, Cijian Peak? That little bitch finally became a thing that can feed and clothe herself, so isn't it easy to build up her momentum? What about the alchemy competition? I think it's just a way for Yaowang City to help that little bitch cheat and gain fame!"
Han Qingyu stretched out her hand, looked at her nails, and said, "Anyway, I'd rather die than eat the pills made by that little bitch. If you want to eat it, go ahead and eat it yourself. I'm afraid of being poisoned to death."
After hearing Han Qingyu's words, the three people's wavering thoughts suddenly tilted.
Yeah, that Nan Si Ning was just a fool who could only smile at people more than two months ago. Two months later, not only did she regain her intelligence, but she was also said to be able to make pills? What a joke!
When we arrived at the main hall of the Discipline Hall, we saw several disciples busy sorting out the punishments imposed on some disciples by the Discipline Hall.
These tasks were actually very simple, but Li Shiqing and the other three obviously liked to order people around, so they were unwilling to do them themselves. Instead, they handed them over to disciples with lower cultivation levels, asking them to spend more time and energy to complete them.
Li Shiqing waved his hand and a jade slip flew into his hand.
Li Shiqing glanced at it and smiled, "Look, I just sorted it out. It's clearly written on it: On the fifth day of this month, Cong Chen brawled with Qiao Qi, an inner disciple of Honglian Peak, and knocked out two of Qiao Qi's teeth. On the eighth day of this month, Cong Chen dueled with Zuo Huiqing, an outer disciple of Lianguang Peak, in the disciples' training grounds, injuring Zuo Huiqing's right shoulder..."
Li Shiqing deliberately recited in one breath the incidents of Cong Chen's fights with others that resulted in injuries, and finally said deliberately: "Alas, I shouldn't have said these things in front of the fellow Daoists from Medicine King City. But Junior Sister Qin, you really pushed me hard. I said it in front of the fellow Daoists from Medicine King City. You won't blame me, right?"
Nan Si Ning complained in a voice transmission, "Hah! Such a sinister and disgusting person, can you please stop acting like a green tea girl? You've really learned bad habits from Luo Qingyao!"
Wu Che immediately responded: "That's right! It's disgusting!"
Qin Sangyue's expression remained unchanged as she extended her hand and said, "Senior Brother Li, please allow me to borrow yours."
Li Shiqing handed the jade slip to Qin Sangyue without hesitation.
Nan Si Ning narrowed his eyes and thought about it. This jade slip recording the reason must be made flawless, so he dared to give it to Qin Sangyue to read.
After Qin Sangyue read it with her spiritual sense, she calmly returned the jade slip: "Thank you, Senior Brother Li."
Li Shiqing collected the jade slip and revealed a somewhat smug look. He said, "Now that Junior Sister Qin knows about Cong Chen's fight with his fellow disciples, are you satisfied with the punishment imposed by our Discipline Hall?"
Qin Sangyue said, "I do understand some of it, but I don't think it's complete. I need to learn more about this matter. Please rest assured, Senior Brother Li, I will find out what happened."
Li Shiqing's face suddenly changed: "You——"
Facing the changed face of Li Shiqing, Qin Sangyue was not afraid at all. Even if Li Shiqing released his Jindan stage pressure, Qin Sangyue easily fought back.
Li Shiqing was even more shocked.
As they were both in the Jindan stage, he had some understanding of Qin Sangyue's level. He did not expect that Qin Sangyue's realm seemed to have improved again. Not only was she not afraid of his pressure, but she was able to fight back.
Yes, as soon as they met, the two sides started arguing, and he didn't pay much attention to the fluctuations in Qin Sangyue's aura. Now after careful investigation, he found that Qin Sangyue's cultivation seemed to be higher than his!
This caused a storm in Li Shiqing's heart.
He himself didn't enter the Golden Core stage until he was thirty, but Qin Sangyue had already reached the Golden Core stage in her twenties, and now her realm has even surpassed his. What kind of talent and opportunity is this?!
After witnessing Qin Sangyue's true cultivation, Li Shiqing finally suppressed his contempt and snorted coldly, "If that's the case, then investigate it yourself! I want to see what evidence you can find to prove that what we, the Discipline Hall, did was wrong!"
Even though the incident happened not long ago, the Canglan Sect is not like the Yaowang City where they can easily take out the photo stone. He didn't believe that Qin Sangyue could find out anything.
Qin Sangyue said calmly, "Don't bother Senior Brother Li about that. According to the rules of the Discipline Hall, as the Senior Sister of Cijian Peak, I can visit my junior brother who is being punished, right?"
Li Shiqing nodded reluctantly.
Qin Sangyue said, "Then please ask Senior Brother Li to take me to my Eighth Junior Brother!"
The forbidden area of Canglan Sect is very large. Only the Discipline Hall can decide and know which area the disciples will be sent to for punishment. If you want to go in to visit, you must get permission from the Discipline Hall.
Li Shiqing gritted his teeth secretly. He didn't expect that Qin Sangyue remembered the rules of the Discipline Hall so clearly.
If the punished disciple is a direct disciple, his master and senior brother/senior sister can request a visit. This rule is seldom used because most of the direct disciples in various peaks have good talents and are looked after by their direct masters. Even if they make some mistakes, they will not be sent to the forbidden area to be locked up with their masters covering for them.
Qin Sangyue could still remember this dusty rule. Li Shiqing even suspected that she knew the rules of the Discipline Hall better than he did.
In front of the people from Yaowang City, Li Shiqing had no choice but to act like a rogue and send Qin Sangyue to see Cong Chen according to the rules.
However, this time is very short, Qin Sangyue can only go in for the time of an incense stick.
When the time of one stick of incense is up, she will be teleported out.
Seeing that his eldest senior sister had gone to see his eighth senior brother, Nan Si Ning also breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Jingwen asked curiously: "It's just a chance to meet him, not to pick him up, why are you so happy?"
Nan Si Ning thought for a moment, then explained to him through voice transmission, "To find out exactly what happened, we need to ask my Eighth Senior Brother. We need to find a breakthrough from him, the one who witnessed it firsthand. The sect competition is less than ten days away, so we need to find out what happened as soon as possible so we can get him out."
After the seventh senior sister Hua Shengqing established her foundation, only Nan Si Ning and three senior sisters and brothers were left in the Qi Refining stage. They were the fifth senior sister Li Yunqi and the sixth senior brother Wu Che. Although they all had good talents, Li Yunqi had shortcomings in swordsmanship, and Wu Che was a slacker, whose attainments in swordsmanship were not as good as Nan Si Ning's. Therefore, in the Qi Refining stage competition, Cong Chen was the main combat force of their Cijian Peak.
Getting Cong Chen out and redressing his injustice is one thing, and wanting him to successfully participate in the sect competition is another.
Xiao Jingwen sighed, "I didn't expect you guys to be so patient. I thought you guys at Cijianfeng would just go in and rescue Cong Chen!"
Nan Si Ning rolled his eyes fiercely: "Although my brothers and sisters are mainly sword cultivators, it doesn't mean they are brainless, okay!"
Sword cultivators are more straightforward and direct in their style of doing things, but that doesn’t mean they are all reckless!
After Li Shiqing brought Qin Sangyue into the forbidden area, the rest of the people waited outside bored.
However, the two sides were clearly divided, and it seemed like neither wanted to care about the other.
Nan Si Ning didn't feel bored. She had to deal with Wu Che and Xiao Jingwen sending her messages at the same time, so she was very busy.
About an incense stick later, Li Shiqing and Qin Sangyue came back.
Li Shiqing had a strange expression on his face, as if he felt guilty, while Qin Sangyue was a little angry.
She walked directly in front of Han Qingyu and asked, "Han Qingyu, before my eighth junior brother was sent to the restricted area, did you take the opportunity to give him some drugs?!"
Except for Li Shiqing, everyone else was shocked: "What?!"
Even Cao Shengjin and Zhu Yun forgot to maintain their aloof attitude and looked at Han Qingyu in disbelief.
Han Qingyu's eyes flickered twice, and she immediately denied it, "What are you talking about? Don't slander me!"
Although Qin Sangyue appeared calm, her tone was filled with anger. "Isn't using aphrodisiac poison one of your favorite methods? Don't think I don't know that you love to torture people with this kind of dirty medicine! Han Qingyu, if you admit it now, I can still ask the Sect Master and the Great Elder to handle it impartially. If you don't take responsibility for what you did, I will definitely not let you go!"
Han Qingyu's heart trembled and her legs felt a little weak when she saw Qin Sangyue's angry eyes.
As the eldest senior sister of Cijian Peak, Qin Sangyue has always presented herself as a calm and generous person. She knows how to act appropriately and remains calm in the face of difficulties. She is the standard model of a good disciple in the eyes of the peak masters and elders of various peaks. No one expected that she would be so terrifying when she gets angry.
Nan Si Ning hurried forward and asked, "Big Sister, how is Eighth Senior Brother now? Has the poison been cured?"
Aphrodisiac poison is terrible not only in that it tortures people and makes their desires surge, which is very unbearable, but also in that it causes serious psychological harm.
Moreover, Cong Chen was not even eighteen years old yet, a true virgin. He was poisoned by the aphrodisiac. Not only did he feel physically uncomfortable, but he also felt shame, anger, and helplessness in his heart...
Qin Sangyue's tone was a little dry: "Don't worry, Junior Sister, the detoxification pill you made is very good. After Eighth Junior Brother took it, he immediately suppressed the poison. I left some for him. After taking it a few more times, the poison in his body will be completely cleared."
Nan Si Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good..."
Before Nan Si Ning finished speaking, Han Qingyu screamed, "Impossible!"
Everyone's gaze immediately returned to him. Even Cao Shengjin asked in disbelief, "Second Brother, did you really poison him?"
Han Qingyu finally came to her senses and realized that she had let the cat out of the bag.
He glanced at everyone in panic, and quickly thought of reasons to excuse himself.
But before he could think of a good reason, a wave of heat rushed towards him. Hua Shengqing had already rushed towards him with a sword in hand: "I will kill you!"
Just as Hua Shengqing was about to chop him down with a sword, Qin Sangyue suddenly moved, grabbed Han Qingyu by the collar, and threw him directly into the square outside the palace: "Seventh Junior Sister, go fight outside!"
Hua Shengqing missed the attack and immediately chased after him with his sword: "Okay!"
Hua Shengqing was already very fast, but Qin Sangyue was even faster. When Li Shiqing and the other two were about to rescue their fellow disciples, Han Qingyu had already been thrown out of the hall.
Cao Shengjin and Zhu Yun hurriedly chased after Hua Shengqing, and Yuan Qingan, Zhou Lixing and others also followed.
After Li Shiqing came to his senses, he glared at Qin Sangyue: "You - what do you mean?!"
Qin Sangyue wiped her hands with a handkerchief and said coldly, "My eighth junior brother was framed by your junior brother. Can't my seventh junior sister help him seek justice? You are the people from the Discipline Hall who are only allowed to show off your power and bully others, and you don't allow anyone to resist?"
