Chapter 246: Bear Heart and Leopard Courage
As soon as Zhao Wuji said this, Ye Danxia immediately understood. Her eyes lit up, realizing that Zhao Wuji was planning to help her keep it a secret.
Ye Danxia couldn't help but look at Ma Hongyu with anticipation.
As long as Ma Hongyu takes it over!
He has to take the blame for this, whether he wants to or not.
Ma Hongyu stood there without moving.
He felt a little complicated.
With Yunjin's advance notice and Ye Danxia's various abnormal behaviors, if he couldn't see that there was something fishy about this matter, then he would have lived in vain.
But the clearer he saw, the sadder Ma Hongyu felt.
He has followed Zhao Wuji for over a hundred years.
In these hundred years, he has taught countless disciples and cultivated countless spiritual plants.
To some extent, it is considered some credit.
What's the result?
He could only save the life of his most proud disciple by severing all ties with him.
Compared with Ye Danxia, he himself is just an existence that can be sacrificed at any time.
Ma Hongyu already had this kind of awareness, and now, his understanding has become even deeper.
Instead of moving forward, he took a step back.
"Ma Hongyu? What do you mean?"
Zhao Wuji narrowed his eyes.
Ma Hongyu said slowly, "I can report the situation in previous years to the Sect Master right now. If the Sect Master has any doubts, he can take out the spiritual plants in the storage bag now and we can verify them one by one."
A trace of anger flashed in Zhao Wuji's eyes: "I don't have time to do such trivial things! Ma Hongyu, I asked you to take it, so just take it!"
Ma Hongyu continued to retreat and asked directly, "Master, is there something wrong with the number of spiritual plants in this storage bag?"
"Whether there is a problem or not, don't you need to investigate it?" Zhao Wuji said slowly.
"I have recorded last year's situation in the jade slip. The Sect Master can compare it himself, or ask Junior Brother Ye to do the comparison." Ma Hongyu said.
Zhao Wuji narrowed his eyes immediately.
Ma Hongyu had been prepared for this for a long time!
Do you think you can escape like this?
Zhao Wuji waved his hand and the door was immediately blocked.
Ma Hongyu's expression changed slightly: "Master, what does this mean?"
"Ma Hongyu, I allowed you to collect the spiritual plants because I trusted you. I never thought you would embezzle them and commit a heinous crime." Zhao Wuji said coldly, "Do you acknowledge your guilt?"
Ye Danxia breathed a sigh of relief, and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.
Master, he still loves her after all.
As for Ma Hongyu, she could only say sorry. If she became successful in the future, she would naturally give him some benefits as compensation.
Ma Hongyu had already prepared himself mentally, but he still felt some pain in his heart. He said slowly, "Master, I have diligently managed the spiritual plants for hundreds of years, and I have never made any mistakes. Although I dare not claim any great achievements, I have worked hard. It is hard for the Master to do this, it is hard to help."
Zhao Wuji sneered, "Ma Hongyu, do you really think I can't see the problem with Ye Cheng's defection to Tianjian Peak? That day, it was all just a show between you and him! Ye Cheng went to Tianjian Peak, so naturally you're leaning towards them. Do I keep you here to help them deal with me?"
This is what I have said openly.
Ma Hongyu was silent for a while, then said slowly, "I have never done anything detrimental to the Sect Leader."
The reason I contacted Yun Jin before was just to give Ye Cheng a way out.
After that, he never went to Tianjian Peak again.
Zhao Wuji refused to believe it. He just sneered, "You know whether you did it or not! I won't make it difficult for you. Stealing so many spiritual plants is a serious crime! You must hand over all your wealth and property to see if it is enough to make up for it. If not, I will sentence you to hard labor. You will continue to serve until you pay back the money."
Zhao Wuji raised his hand, and the storage bag containing the spiritual plants seemed to have eyes and flew directly into Ma Hongyu's arms.
This doesn't give Ma Hongyu any chance to defend himself.
Ma Hongyu stood there numbly.
Zhao Wuji looked at him condescendingly: "Do you have anything else to say?"
Ma Hongyu said slowly, "Yes. My position is equivalent to that of a deacon. If I am dissatisfied with the punishment I receive, I can apply for a sect resolution. I want to apply for a sect resolution!"
Zhao Wuji frowned. "That storage bag is right in your arms! What can you change by applying for a resolution from the entire sect?"
Ma Hongyu said calmly, "Then consider it as me...a dying struggle."
Zhao Wuji narrowed his eyes. He didn't want to make any resolution for the entire sect and add to the obstacles. He was just thinking of using some means to make Ma Hongyu admit it himself.
The next moment.
The disciple's voice came from the doorway: "Master. Ten peak masters, come to visit together."
Zhao Wuji's expression suddenly changed.
He suddenly glanced at Ma Hongyu, who just had a calm expression.
"Well, you're really very good." Zhao Wuji said angrily, "You still dare to say that you haven't betrayed me!"
Ma Hongyu remained silent.
Lin Ya's voice could be heard from the doorway: "Master, we have something to ask you."
Zhao Wuji glared at Ma Hongyu fiercely, then had no choice but to open the door.
It would not be appropriate to meet so many people at a private residence.
Zhao Wuji could only open the hall. He looked coldly at the peak masters below the stage and asked, "What do you guys want to do by making a joint visit? Are you trying to force me?"
These ten peak masters are now vaguely divided into two camps. Huo Lie and the other two stand together, while the other seven are obviously led by Lin Ya.
Zhao Wuji looked at it and his expression became uglier.
Lin Ya took a step forward and said with a smile, "Sect Master, we are here to report something."
Zhao Wuji said coldly: "You'd better be in trouble."
Lin Ya said calmly, "Speaking of which, this matter is related to the Sect Master. Recently, someone in the sect reported under their real name that the criminal Ye Danxia not only acted brazenly within the sect, but even paraded around with the Sect Master's token. Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Lin Ya's sharp eyes immediately turned to Ye Danxia.
Ye Danxia's face turned pale, and she couldn't help but say aggrievedly: "Didn't I get punished for what happened before? Yun Jin didn't say anything when I came out this time!"
Lin Ya raised an eyebrow. "My disciple was kind-hearted and didn't bother with you. But you're still guilty. It's fine if you stay in the sect, but who allowed you to flaunt yourself so loudly? Moreover! I had someone investigate. This Ye Danxia, with the Sect Leader's token, actually increased the spiritual plant quota for the three peaks by 30%. Sect Leader, the spiritual plant quota for the three of you is already limited, and you've increased it by another 30%. Are you going to give us no chance of survival?"
"What?!" Zhao Wuji's face suddenly changed.
He suddenly looked at Ye Danxia.
Ye Danxia actually collected three more layers without permission!
What does this prove?
This proves that the amount she embezzled was much more than he imagined!
Where on earth did she get such courage from!
"Master, you are so surprised. Could it be that someone is using chicken feathers as a token of authority?" Lin Ya pressed the question.
