Chapter 295: The Four Culprits Stand Still
"But he bought me delicious food..." Banxia's voice became weaker and weaker. After all, it was not a glorious thing, but...but...
But those candy figurines Liu Xia bought are really delicious...
"What!?" Lian Qiao couldn't help but raise her voice, but suddenly realized that she was still outside Youyuan Palace, so she quickly lowered her voice, "Just for a few bites of food?"
In fact, she didn't need to do so. After all, it was very lively in Youyuan Palace right now, and no one would care even if she made a louder noise.
"Isn't this just a case of taking something from someone and then being obliged to do it..." Banxia muttered and lowered her head, twisting the corners of her clothes unconsciously with her hands. Only now did she feel that this matter was indeed a bit absurd, but since she had already agreed to it and eaten the food, it would be bad to go back on her word.
Looking at Banxia's pouting face, Lianqiao couldn't help but roll her eyes, cursing inwardly: This silly girl is truly hopeless. But on second thought, she felt that this made sense. After all, since they met, she had never seen her follow common sense.
Just as Lian Qiao felt that this was very natural, she heard Ling Xiang's voice behind her:
"Oh, I see. I was told that things had been a little strange between you two since that day. I never thought you were secretly in love."
Banxia and Lianqiao were caught off guard by Lingxiang's sudden appearance. They were both startled, especially Banxia. After hearing what Lingxiang said, she quickly explained:
"That's not the case. Ninth Elder, please listen to my explanation..."
Lingxiang raised her hand and interrupted Banxia with a smile.
"Tsk, I have nothing to say. Why are you so nervous? It's just a love between a man and a woman. It's not a big deal. Even if it's the sect rules, there's no rule that can convict you two." He casually waved his hand and said, "Don't be afraid. I'm very satisfied with this marriage. When your respective masters ask about it in the future, just say that I agreed!" He walked towards Youyuan Palace with his hands behind his back.
Good job, Liu Xia, this young and inexperienced guy is really quick in his actions. He managed to trick one of the few female disciples in the sect quietly. Good boy, he really should not be underestimated!
Lingxiang walked into Youyuan Palace with a happy face, as if she was the mother of a silly son who had just gotten married.
Youyuan Palace was really lively, with a group of people in Taoist robes wrestling with each other, punching, kicking and shouting at each other.
This scene really opened Lingxiang's eyes. Even the mortal casinos that she often visited were not so lively.
"The acting head, Elder Fu Cang, has arrived!"
Yun Lai sang loudly, but it was like a stone falling on the sea. The fighting in the hall was still going on, and the shouting and cursing were one wave after another.
Seeing this, Yunlai looked at Lingxiang with embarrassment, but saw that she looked calm, as if she didn't care.
Huh? This is strange. Is this still the little nun he knew?
Yunlai knew Lingxiang well enough to assume that if she encountered something like this, she would either roar in anger or sit back and watch the show with eyes shining. He felt the latter was more in line with Lingxiang's personality. Worse still, she might even pull up a stool, brew a pot of tea, and watch slowly, cheering and giving advice on how to fight.
Could it be that this young nun changed her personality after taking charge of the sect's affairs?
Just when Yunlai was feeling uneasy and couldn't figure out what Qing Lingxiang was trying to do, when he turned around, she was gone.
Lingxiang didn't change her personality at all, she was just looking for the culprit behind this chaos.
In Lingxiang's opinion, the fights between disciples of different sects are really too common. It's just like when children from different families go to school, some of them can't play together, and they fight in the school for trivial reasons.
However, behind this matter are two sects, and these two sects are intricately related. If it is not handled properly, there is a possibility of hatred in the future.
Isn’t this exactly what the Zen Buddhist dispute over the Bodhi Tree and the Mirror Stand was all about?
Besides, it was just an argument. Who could throw a stone silently among a group of highly accomplished monks at that time?
Apart from him, I don't think of anyone else.
As soon as she entered the room, Lingxiang looked around and saw four people gathered in a corner in the chaos, watching the show without any cover.
Hoo! As expected!
These four people are Long Qi, Xin Yi, Liu Xia and Zhao Wuyang.
Long Qi, arms folded, watched the farce with a look of amusement, occasionally whispering to the absent-minded Liu Xia or shouting a few words to join in the fun. Xin Yi stood silently by, like a pillar of support. If one wasn't paying close attention, one could easily overlook his presence. Zhao Wuyang, meanwhile, peeked behind him, his expression alternating between excitement and surprise.
"Brother Yun Yue, even if he says you're not as good as him, you can't be so serious about it, right? After all, we are guests!"
"Brother Guanyan, that person looks more powerful than you!"
"Senior Brother Mulan, be careful behind you, he's trying to sneak attack!"
"After all, it's Senior Brother Han Chan. This move is really amazing!"
…
I don't know who Long Qi learned this skill of fanning the flames from, but he quietly provoked the anger of both sides, while he just watched from the sidelines, pinching his chin as if he was carefully studying each other's moves.
“Click, click…”
The four of them were watching intently when they heard bursts of crisp sounds coming from the side. They were subtle and crisp, but hard to ignore, and were extremely discordant with the chaos before them.
“Crack, crack…”
The voice seemed to be right next to his ear. Long Qi turned his head and saw Lingxiang standing beside him, cracking pine seeds while watching the fight in front of him intently.
Long Qi was startled, wondering when this little girl had come to him, and why was she so quiet? Zhao Wuyang had also seen Lingxiang, and he had been looking out for a moment, but he suddenly shrank back behind Xinyi.
"What's wrong? You spoke very well, why don't you say anything more?" Lingxiang had a puzzled look on her face, as if she hadn't heard enough, but anyone could tell that she was speaking in a sarcastic manner.
"You...you are not dealing with sect affairs, how come you have time to come here?" Long Qi asked nervously while pulling Xinyi's sleeve, and his arrogance was completely gone.
However, Xinyi and the other two turned their heads away at this time, as if they did not receive Long Qi's request for help.
Hiss! These three disloyal guys!
But Lingxiang wouldn't let them go. She cleared her throat and hummed like an opera singer, "I just don't understand. Where do the stones come from when they sweep Youyuan Palace every day? What do you think, Xinyi?"
Xinyi's eyes turned, but he didn't answer. He just stood there with his shoulders shrugged, as if he was thinking about something. It seemed that he didn't hear Lingxiang's words. His big body seemed particularly cramped.
Liu Xia went even further. When he saw Banxia peeking at the palace door, he walked out of Youyuan Palace without looking back.
Oh! If not now, when?
