Chapter 53 The Great Elder also needs to clear his name and must be redrawn!
Cong Chen's face suddenly became even uglier. He caught the streak of light with his backhand. Thinking of what his second senior brother had just said, he felt very depressed.
These days, he has been feeling some emotions churning in his heart. He has taken many pills to try to suppress them, but the effect has not been very good.
The senior sister reminded him that his restlessness was a sign of mental instability, so he needed to calm down.
He had been working hard these days and had taken a lot of pills, and had managed to calm down a lot. In front of his senior brothers and sisters, he could behave as usual, but he knew very well that as long as he encountered some small disturbance, his mood would be disturbed again.
He lowered his eyes to hide the emotions in them, but his hands began to tremble uncontrollably.
Everyone else on Cijian Peak looked at Cong Chen, or rather the streak of light he had caught.
When Li Yunqi was picked by Liu Guang, Yuan Qing'an's smile disappeared, but his expression was still calm. But when he saw that Cong Chen was also picked, the corners of his mouth suddenly straightened, and his face became unprecedentedly cold and serious.
He took out his jade slip and told Qin Sangyue about this.
Wu Che looked at the flowing light in his hand, then at the ones in Li Yunqi and Cong Chen's hands, and couldn't help asking, "So, this proves that our Cijian Peak is being targeted, right?"
Hua Shengqing seemed a little irritable. "We can't just humbly obey orders on this matter. No, we have to find a way to make a scene. Just now, they said they would give face to Cijian Peak in front of Yaowang City and the Beast Taming Sect. How did they give us face by picking three people at once?"
As she spoke, she looked in the direction of Luo Qingyao hatefully, only to find that Luo Qingyao seemed to be looking at her at this moment, with a satisfied and sarcastic smile on her face.
Hua Shengqing's hatred and loathing for Luo Qingyao reached its peak, and he wished he could chop her to death with a single sword!
Although Hua Shengqing didn't see clearly, she guessed it right. Luo Qingyao was smiling at them. To outsiders, her smile was still as gentle as the spring breeze. Only those who knew the truth could see how vicious her smile was.
"Only three were drawn? Why didn't you send all four of them to defend the ring at once?" Luo Qingyao muttered somewhat dissatisfiedly.
"Junior sister, what did you say?" someone asked hurriedly and attentively.
Luo Qingyao smiled and said, "Nothing, I just feel like there seems to be a shortage of people over at Cijian Peak."
"Oh, Junior Sister, you are too kind-hearted, aren't you? They treated you so well, and you still care about them so much. If I were someone from Cijian Peak, I would be so ashamed."
“That’s right!”
"They picked three at once, they deserved it!"
"Don't worry, Junior Sister. I've already told several Junior Brothers and Sisters who have reached the Perfection of Qi Refining. They will specifically go find the people from Cijian Peak to challenge them."
"After such a series of battles, I don't believe they can hold on."
"When the time is right, Junior Sister, you go up and take them out one by one, making them beg for mercy at your feet! You can also let out a sigh of relief!"
"What's the use of begging for mercy? If Junior Sister is willing, just beat her to death. After all, if she dies in the competition, no one will be able to cause trouble."
"Since we have people from Medicine King City and the Beast Taming Sect here, it's better not to be too conspicuous. Otherwise, even the Sect Master and Master won't be able to protect us."
"Oh, I think you're just a coward. The people from Cijian Peak deserve to die, so what if they're dead? What does it matter if the people from Yaowang City and the Beast Taming Sect are still here? Can they still interfere in the affairs of our sect?"
…
A group of people surrounded Luo Qingyao and made a lot of noise, but Luo Qingyao felt a little anxious because there was too much noise.
She had been resting for a long time and was still a little weak. She really didn't like such a noisy environment.
But if she frowned slightly, more concern would be directed at her, making her feel even more overwhelmed, so she didn't dare to frown at all.
"Hmph! Just the same as before! You can't stop eating shit!" Hua Shengqing saw from afar that a group of male cultivators were surrounding Luo Qingyao, and immediately felt disgusted.
Li Yunqi asked nervously, "What should we do now? Sixth Junior Brother and I can go on stage, but Eighth Junior Brother..."
This flow of light came so late, it was obvious that something was wrong. Eighth Junior Brother was being plotted against!
Yuan Qing'an looked at the jade slip in his hand, then raised his head and looked forward to the main stage. He said, "Don't worry, let's see how the senior sister will handle it."
On the main stage, Qin Sangyue's face suddenly changed after receiving the message from Yuan Qing'an.
Although I guessed that someone would be plotting against Yin Ci Jian Feng when we were discussing the competition, I didn't expect them to be so blatant.
Qin Sangyue stood up abruptly and said hurriedly, "Great Elder! My Cijian Peak only has four Qi Refining Stage disciples, but three were picked. I object to this result!"
Everyone around her looked at her in surprise: How dare this junior directly challenge the Great Elder?
The Great Elder was waiting for the results to be announced, but upon hearing Qin Sangyue's voice, he turned around with some displeasure and asked, "Are you saying that three people from Cijian Peak were selected?"
There were over a thousand disciples participating in the Qi Refining Stage Arena Competition. If they were to draw fifty from them, there was a high probability that Ci Jian Peak wouldn't get any. Even getting one would be considered bad luck, but it ended up drawing three?!
With such a probability, anyone with a little discerning eye would think there is something fishy going on.
Just as the Great Elder was pondering how to respond, Qin Sangyue glanced at the jade slip and said, "Great Elder, please look, there's a streak of light lingering near my disciples at Cijian Peak. Is it looking for my Junior Sister?"
Everyone looked in the direction Qin Sangyue pointed, and sure enough, they saw a stream of light dancing up and down. It seemed like it hadn't found the person it was looking for, but it was just circling in the same place, with no intention of leaving.
Three streams of light had selected all the disciples of Cijian Peak, and the remaining one could not select those who had already been selected. However, since Nan Sining was not there, the stream of light could not find the person it wanted, so it felt a little lost.
Anyone with a little bit of cultivation would know what was going on as soon as they saw this situation:
"It seems that the magic weapon used to select disciples has also been tampered with."
"Yeah, I don't know who would target Cijian Peak like this."
"Needless to say..."
Some people looked at the sect leader Zhao Shiquan with ambiguous expressions, which made Zhao Shiquan feel uncomfortable and angry. He was not angry at those people for doubting his Yunxiao Peak, but he was angry at the people from Cijian Peak for not knowing what was good for them and actually wanted to make a fuss about this matter.
Zhao Shiquan cleared his throat and excused himself, "Brother Qin, although it's rare to be chosen as a registered disciple of Cijian Peak, it's not impossible. If this continues, it will delay the competition."
Zhao Shiquan couldn't help but glance at Luo Qingyao who was sitting in the disciple seat, and decided to talk to his little disciple after returning. Even if he wanted to target Ci Jianfeng, he had to do it so obviously that people could see it at a glance, and it would not be easy for him to smooth things over.
Qin Sangyue said politely, "The Sect Master is right, but the drawing of lots is the responsibility of the Great Elder, and I, a disciple, have already expressed my doubts. If we don't investigate thoroughly, the Great Elder will suffer injustice."
Zhao Shiquan's breath suddenly stopped and he couldn't help but clench his fists: This girl is really hard to deal with, she actually brought the conflict towards the Great Elder!
After hearing this, the Great Elder couldn't help but glare at the Sect Master. Was he trying to fool him?
Xiao Jingwen, who was sitting on the main stage behind the Medicine King, was a little anxious. Just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by his own senior sister and was fed a voice-loss pill.
Xiao Jingwen opened his mouth and screamed, but no sound came out.
Qin Xueyang hugged his chest and said to him, "This is not our Medicine King City, and you have no place to speak. Shut up first."
Xiao Jingwen: %*&……￥#
The Medicine King, who was sitting in the front, hadn't noticed what the two apprentice sisters and brothers were doing. He sensed Zhao Shiquan's subtle thoughts, and the anger that had just subsided in the past few days was aroused again. He immediately sneered, "Sect Master Zhao, you really opened my eyes. So this is how you 'consider the overall situation'!"
They said that it was to avoid delaying the competition, but in fact it was to cover up the villain who did bad things. Not only did they not deal with this evil person quickly, but they also protected him. The King of Medicine felt more and more that if the Canglan Sect did not change its leader, it would only go downhill in the next few hundred years.
As soon as the Medicine King spoke, the faces of many people in the Canglan Sect froze.
I almost forgot, there are outsiders watching this time.
Zhao Shiquan became even angrier, and even the flesh on his face was shaking. The Great Elder was also very surprised, thinking that he was going to be roasted here.
Only Qin Sangyue remained calm, her expression did not change at all, but she felt a little relieved in her heart.
She knew that these old masters in the sect were most concerned about their reputation, so she called out the matter so that it could be brought to light. What was the sect's reputation? What was the sect leader's reputation? It was not as important as the junior brothers and sisters of Cijian Peak!
The Great Elder quickly recovered and said, "Master, this matter has come through my hands, so I must get to the bottom of it."
This made Zhao Shiquan's face stiffen, and he could no longer say anything. Although he was the sect leader, he did not have much face in front of an old man like the Great Elder, and he could not order them around.
Then, the Great Elder waved his hand and took back the stream of light that had been lingering for a long time.
When everyone saw Liu Guang being taken back by the Great Elder, there was a buzzing sound, and they were all surprised at what was going on.
"What happened?" Liang Xiao was the first to notice the movement and asked in surprise.
Everyone at Cijian Peak turned their heads and saw a streak of light flying back to the main seat.
Yuan Qing'an picked up the telescope and looked towards the main stage. Seeing that the second senior brother did the same, the others also picked up their own telescopes and looked over.
On the main stage, the Great Elder closed his eyes and cast a spell on the stream of light. His expression was very serious, even a little gloomy.
Wu Che couldn't help but shudder: "The Great Elder looks very angry!"
"It must be the Great Elder who discovered the problem here after being reminded by the Senior Sister!" Hua Shengqing said excitedly, stretching her neck even longer, wishing she could get to the main seat to watch.
"Will the Great Elder resolve this matter?" Li Yunqi asked a little worriedly. After all, this was a matter concerning the reputation of the entire sect.
Yuan Qing'an relaxed a lot and said, "Not only is Senior Sister here, but Senior Medicine King is also here. Since the Great Elder has become suspicious, he will naturally give a result."
A few people were chatting back and forth when they suddenly heard someone say, "Can you lend us this...?"
