Chapter 27 The things were stolen by Ye Wange
After hearing what the disciples said, Ye Wange raised her hand to signal them to be quiet. "Who can you blame for your things being stolen? Since they belong to you, you should take good care of them."
She glanced at everyone present, her tone growing stern. "I've said before that vigilance is the most important thing when going out for training. You can't even protect your elixirs and treasures, so how are you going to face the real enemies once you enter the secret realm?"
Someone was about to open their mouth to explain, but was interrupted by Ye Wange in a harsh voice: "Stop talking nonsense! I don't want to hear anything else. You lost your things because of your own incompetence."
"Also, this matter must not be made public. If it gets out, it will bring shame to the entire Xia Ling Peak!"
Chen Yubai withdrew his gaze, which had been eagerly expecting Ye Wange to come forward to uphold justice. He turned his head to glance at Pei Yan, who also had a grim expression on his face. Neither of them spoke.
Especially Shen Yubai, he remembered his experience in his previous life.
At that time, he was fighting with someone, and when he was dodging, the ancestral jade pendant slipped from his clothes and was swallowed by the surging water.
The jade pendant was a relic left by his mother. There was a tiny character "Yu" engraved on the back. He had been wearing it since he entered the sect and treasured it very much.
The disciples all said that continuing to search would only delay the journey and that one person would be in danger if left alone. It was not worth it for a piece of ordinary jade. Ye Zhao asked everyone to camp first and go deep into the dense forest to help him search.
For the next three days and three nights, he was so anxious that he could not sleep, thinking that the jade pendant could never be found.
It was not until the early morning of the third day that Ye Zhao came back wearing wet clothes and holding the jade pendant in his hand.
This scene was engraved in his heart for many years, but as time passed, he gradually forgot it.
Thinking about it now, Shen Yubai felt as if his chest was being pressed down by a heavy hammer. Ye Zhao had spent three days and three nights looking for a worthless jade pendant that was lost.
The disciples of Xialing Peak lost so many things, but Ye Wange didn't care and told them not to make any noise...
This feeling is like having gravel stuck in your throat, unable to spit it out or swallow it.
Pei Yan saw Shen Yubai's face turn pale, patted his shoulder, and said with all his strength: "Master said that to teach us a lesson. She has probably sent someone to investigate. Don't think too much, just wait for the news."
Shen Yubai said "hmm", looking as if he didn't believe it.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Pei Yan lowered his voice: "How about we follow Master tonight and see what she is going to do."
Shen Yubai nodded: "Okay."
The two of them gathered their spiritual energy at the same time and stopped practicing any skills, so that Ye Wange would not be able to detect the spiritual energy fluctuations coming from them.
In order to avoid being discovered, the two carefully hid in the night and followed Ye Wange out of the Lingzhan.
The moonlight was obscured by thick dark clouds, and the streets were pitch black. Ye Wange walked very fast, as if she was afraid that someone was following her, and she looked left and right all the way.
She walked through the bustling main street and turned into a quiet alley. At the end of the alley was an abandoned tavern with weeds growing in the corners. It looked desolate and deserted.
Pei Yan and Shen Yubai held their breath, hiding behind the wooden gate, and watched Ye Wange push open the wooden door.
There was a dim oil lamp on inside, and a fat middle-aged man was waiting there.
They knew the man, he was Manager Du, the owner of Lingzhan!
Seeing Ye Wange coming over, Shopkeeper Du bowed to greet her, his smile full of flattery: "Master Ye Feng has arrived. I'm so sorry for not welcoming you."
He lowered his voice, "Last night's harvest was quite good. Twenty-five bottles of Tranquility Pills, fourteen bottles of Energy Gathering Pills, forty-six Cold-Repelling Talismans, seven low-level spiritual tools..." He said this as he flipped open the account book and marked a few lines with a silver pen. "A total of 13,246 spirit stones. As usual, I'll give you 60% of them. As you requested, I've exchanged them for seven Barrier Breaking Pills. Please review them, Master Ye Feng."
"Hmm." Ye Wange took out the pill bottle from the storage box, uncorked it and sniffed it, then casually asked, "Did anyone catch us?"
Shopkeeper Du repeatedly said to the head of the medicine shop: "Don't worry, the people who patrol the room at night are all family members. We guarantee that no one will know."
"Well done." Ye Wange closed the pill bottle and put it back into the box.
Hearing this, Shen Yubai felt his eardrums buzzing. The two pills he lost were what he had worked so hard to save!
As the blood and energy surged up, his hand trembled and he almost knocked off a tile. Shen Yubai pressed the back of his hand and forcibly suppressed the blood and energy.
"Don't move." Pei Yan's lips moved silently, but his throat was trembling, and the cold light in his eyes sank inch by inch.
He stared at the figure in the room, his fingers clenched tightly between the bricks, veins bulging.
Ye Wange is at the peak of the Golden Core stage. If she wants to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, she needs a large number of Barrier Breaking Pills. However, there are only so many resources in a peak. Ye Wange uses more of them herself, and less is distributed to her disciples.
Since he entered Xia Ling Peak, the resources he obtained were very few. It was not because Ye Wange did not give them, but because the resources of Xia Ling Peak had almost been used up by Ye Wange!
It was not enough for her to use up all the resources of Xia Lingfeng, she also wanted to attract the attention of these disciples.
How can such a person be worthy of being the master of a peak, how can he be worthy of being their master!
He also felt that Ye Zhao treated them badly, but no matter how badly Ye Zhao treated them, he never stole their things!
Worried that they would be discovered if they continued to stay here, the two exchanged glances and decided to go back first.
After returning to the inn, the two of them began to discuss the matter with peace of mind.
"Is there some hidden agenda behind this? Why would Master do such a thing?"
Shen Yubai thought about it all the way, but he really couldn't understand why Ye Wange would do such a thing.
So he subconsciously felt that there must be something behind this.
But Pei Yan shook his head solemnly, "I'm afraid what we saw is true."
"Think about it, if Master hadn't been colluding with the Spirit Store owner, how could he not have noticed the thief last night with Master's peak Golden Core cultivation?"
"We have 33 disciples at Xialing Peak, occupying 29 rooms. It would take a lot of effort to clean out so many rooms."
"Furthermore, after the incident, Master strictly ordered us not to make any public announcement. It seems this is almost certain."
"how so……"
Shen Yubai's legs went limp and he slumped down in the chair.
He has always regarded Ye Wange as his faith. Now that he is asked to overturn his faith, how can he not feel uncomfortable?
Pei Yan patted his shoulder soothingly, "Don't be too sad."
"I think Master just wanted to break through the Nascent Soul Realm as quickly as possible, so she had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure. Master is human, not a god, and she is not perfect. She may treat us unfairly in small matters, but she will definitely protect us when faced with major events."
"And Ye Zhao..." Pei Yan's eyes flashed with hatred. "Have you forgotten that in her previous life, she offended the Tianxuan Sect and not long afterward encountered Lin Qingxuan of the Tianxuan Sect. She was no match for them, causing us to be humiliated by the Tianxuan Sect disciples."
