“Long Aotian and the second senior brother are insisting that it was the eldest senior brother who did it. I see you came back from the eldest senior brother's place. Did you find something?” Chu Yunying asked.
Su Youxue looked at her fourth junior sister warily and said coldly, "If you have the guts, ask them to produce evidence. Don't try to pin everything on your senior brother. It's late, I'm sleepy. If you don't have anything else to do, go ask someone else."
She remembered that in her previous life, Chu Yunying had even passed on her trump cards and family secret techniques to Long Aotian. She had to be careful; if Chu Yunying dared to harm her senior brother, she shouldn't blame herself.
"Then I won't bother Third Senior Sister any longer," Chu Yunying said with a smile.
She had a cold demeanor and was not good with words. The moment she turned around, a cold glint flashed in her eyes, and a cold smile appeared on her lips.
This investigation will definitely never come to a conclusion, because no one will investigate themselves.
Chu Yunying naturally knew that it wasn't her senior brother who assassinated Long Aotian, because it was she who made the move that night.
Why did she want to assassinate Long Aotian? It was because she was also a reborn person, and she couldn't let the blood feud with her sect go unavenged. Even though it was something Long Aotian would do later, she wanted to nip it in the bud.
When her underwear went missing last night, she knew it was her senior brother who had done it. During the sect competition, her senior brother had been defeated by Long Aotian, who had also found his underwear, thus ruining his reputation and stripping him of his chief position that day.
So she secretly sneaked into Black Bamboo Peak, but when she saw Fang Shao come out of Long Aotian's room, she became even more certain that he had made all sorts of accusations against her senior brother.
She intended to take advantage of Long Aotian's momentary lapse in vigilance to kill him, even if it meant bearing the guilt of harming her fellow disciples; she was willing to be executed.
However, she did not expect Long Aotian to be so perceptive, dodging her sneak attack and having a way to protect himself, thus causing the assassination attempt to fail.
The reason she proposed investigating the murderer was that she wanted her master to let her investigate, so that the matter would naturally be dropped once it was in her hands.
"Long Aotian, people like him shouldn't be alive."
Her voice was cold and filled with murderous intent.
Achoo!
Long Aotian lay on the bed, recalling the events of the day. It was all too strange; he felt that his master and senior sister's attitudes had both changed.
Normally, as long as he says it, the sect's things are no problem. Su Youxue also listens to him. If he says anything bad about Lin Fan, Su Youxue will target Lin Fan.
However, Su Youxue didn't help him today; instead, she tried to exonerate Lin Fan. This was very strange.
Is he not charming enough? Or has his good looks diminished?
He looked at himself in the mirror and was still as handsome as ever. Apart from being inferior to Yan Zu, who could have such unparalleled good looks? But how could things have turned out this way?
"Master, what's going on? Why do I feel like everything in this world has changed since today?" Long Aotian asked curiously.
In the past, if he had been assassinated, his senior brothers and sisters would have turned Youzhu Peak upside down, and they would not have let it go so lightly as they did today. Leng Xingyue would have believed him and punished Lin Fan, but today she didn't even glance at him.
At this moment, a phantom figure floated out from the ring in his hand. It was a woman, with unparalleled beauty, white hair cascading down like a waterfall, three thousand feet long, and eyes that shone with light for miles.
“I can sense that your fortune has changed; it seems there’s a force targeting you,” the white-haired woman said.
"Who's targeting me? Is it Lin Fan?" Long Aotian said angrily.
To dare target me is tantamount to courting death.
The white-haired woman shook her head and said, "He's not that capable yet. As for who he is, we don't know yet. You need to be careful in the Qingxiao Sect. I can't help you casually. If we're exposed, both of us will be in danger."
"I understand. Whoever is targeting me, once I find them, I will make sure they suffer a terrible fate." Long Aotian's eyes were filled with malice.
Those who oppose him are evil and crooked, and they must all die.
"The Qingxiao Sect will hold a grand competition in three months. The top ten will be able to enter the Enlightenment Cave Heaven, where you will find great fortune. If it's not necessary, don't compete with Lin Fan for now. Improving your own strength is the right path," the white-haired woman said.
"Master, please rest assured, I am not a reckless person. I will try my best to avoid conflict with him during this period."
He was very confident, a 45-degree smile slowly curving his lips. He looked down on everyone. In his eyes, Lin Fan was nothing more than a nobody, not worthy of his attention, just a stepping stone on his path to immortality.
With his master's help, he could easily obtain all kinds of resources without lifting a finger.
Three days passed in a flash. Chu Yunying only asked a few people about the assassination attempt and then paid no further attention to it.
When asked, she would give a perfunctory answer that it was still under investigation, and she would try to avoid it, knowing that after this period of time, no one would bring it up again.
Even if someone disagrees and complains to Leng Xingyue, they won't get the answer they want.
Lin Fan pushed open the door and walked out, his legs trembling uncontrollably. The damn system had really made him kneel for three days and three nights, and now his legs were numb.
"Sigh, it's time to collect the monthly allowance again. If I weren't worried about them coming to my door without thinking, I wouldn't bother collecting it."
A direct disciple receives 1,000 spirit stones per month, while he, as the chief disciple, receives 1,500, plus many other privileges. That's why the Chosen One targets him and wants to replace him.
"Heh, isn't this the murderer? How did he get out here? I'm really worried he'll be assassinated. With his master protecting him and being the chief disciple, no one can do anything to him."
He had just arrived at the Ganhe Hall to collect his monthly stipend when he heard a strange, eerie voice.
Lin Fan looked at Ye Chen, that damned lackey was causing trouble again.
"I ate your rice, so it's none of your business where I go. If you're not my direct disciple, you don't even have the right to stand in front of me and speak."
Lin Fan was filled with rage. He raised his middle finger and cursed his ancestors for eighteen generations in his mind.
What the hell is this dog? Even coming out to collect money and get some fresh air is targeted at me. You damn rich bastard, did I dig up your ancestral grave or sleep with all the women in your family?
Seeing his lackey being bullied, Long Aotian immediately stepped forward, stood between the two, and said, "Senior Brother, I know you're targeting me. If I've offended you before, I want to apologize. I hope you won't take your anger out on others. If you want to kill someone, then kill me."
Upon hearing this, Wu Qiankun, Ye Chen, and many outer disciples were deeply moved. What a kind person he was, actually wanting to bear the senior brother's wrath alone.
On the other hand, the eldest brother, as the chief disciple, dared to bully his junior brothers and sisters and even tried to assassinate his junior brother Long Aotian. Why should evil people be in power in this world? It's too unfair.
Seeing the reactions and whispers of the crowd, Lin Fan was so angry that his teeth ached.
What a green tea guy! He's disgusting. I can't eat if I see him for even a second longer.
He rubbed his swollen knees, trying to walk away, but his legs went numb and he fell to the ground.
"What are you all doing?" Su Youxue rushed over and gently helped Lin Fan up. She saw that he looked pained and his brows were furrowed, as if he had been tortured.
She turned around angrily to look at Long Aotian and shouted, "What did you do to Senior Brother?"
Long Aotian was shocked. He hadn't done anything; he had only said a couple of words, and he had collapsed on his own. It had nothing to do with him.
"Third Senior Sister, let me explain. I only said two words, but I didn't do anything."
At this moment, an elder came over, touched Lin Fan's knee, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's just a knee injury. Take some medicine home and apply it, and it will be fine."
Upon hearing this, Su Youxue became even angrier, pointing at Long Aotian and coldly saying, "Long Aotian, I didn't expect you to be so vicious, secretly attacking Senior Brother and injuring his knee. Did you want to break his leg?"
Long Aotian was stunned and even began to doubt himself. This whole thing seemed so convincing. Could it be that his master had done it? He wondered to himself.
"Third Senior Sister, I swear, I did not lay a hand on Senior Brother!" Long Aotian explained.
"If oaths were effective, would we need the Enforcement Hall? Senior Brother was fine when you weren't speaking, but he fell down as soon as you stepped forward. With so many eyes watching, how could it be fake?"
"Do you think we're so easily fooled, like three-year-olds who are blind? Or do you think our senior brother was just stupid and injured himself?"
"Maybe he injured himself to frame Junior Brother Aotian," Ye Chen muttered to himself.
"Well, Long Aotian, you've even learned to lie through your teeth. I never thought you were this kind of person. If you're so capable, why don't you break your own leg and fall to the ground yourself!"
Su Youxue pointed at Long Aotian and started cursing, displaying the fierceness of a big sister.
"I..." Long Aotian was speechless, his face turning red and white. What did this have to do with him? He didn't say those words. How could they smear him like this? Don't they have any evidence?
Lin Fan suppressed a smile, almost causing internal injuries. Sure enough, it takes only a mouth to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of legwork to refute them. It's really satisfying to see someone directly smear someone's face like that.
The chosen one has spent his whole life trying to pin the blame on others, but now it's his turn to be the one to suffer. It's truly laughable.
What goes around comes around; no one escapes the wrath of Heaven!
As expected, the little fairy's skill in blaming others is truly remarkable, and it's hard to refute that.
Since you're such a green tea bitch, then my nine years of compulsory education weren't for nothing. I'll give you a taste of your own medicine.
"Third Junior Sister, don't blame Junior Brother Long. It's all my fault. My knees are too weak, and I got hurt as soon as I fell to the ground. It's not Junior Brother's fault. If you want to scold someone, scold me." Lin Fan said sincerely.
"It's also my fault for being mediocre and taking up the chief position. I think Junior Brother Aotian is more suitable to be the chief. No matter what he likes, as the senior brother, I can give it to him. I will go to Master to resign in a while and ask her to appoint Junior Brother Aotian as the chief."
"Senior Brother, you are so kind. Don't worry, no matter who it is, they can't take away what belongs to you."
Su Youxue's eyes were red, and she felt like crying. Why hadn't she noticed how good her senior brother was before?
