The waiter was frightened.
Lu Jingshen immediately raised his hand to hold Yu Ye down, and smiled kindly at the waiter, "It's alright, just pretend he has epilepsy, continue talking."
Metaphorically speaking, "Lu Jingshen, I... ... *"
Lu Qingan, who was standing to the side, handed a fresh cup of tea to the waiter and said, "Continue."
The waiter shakily took the tea, gulped it down, and then continued speaking.
"To make a long story short, not long ago, after the Invincible Sect won first place, they passed through Youyun City. Unexpectedly, as soon as they left, someone in the city was possessed by an evil spirit."
"At first, no one took this matter seriously, but it wasn't until monsters appeared in the city that everyone realized the seriousness of the situation."
"Two days ago, an elder from the Taixu Sect led his disciples to exorcise evil spirits and stayed here. I heard them say that the reason why the Invincible Sect was able to win first place was because they colluded with evil cultivators."
The waiter deliberately lowered his voice when he said these words.
After he finished speaking, he saw that Sheng Ning and the others all looked speechless.
His throat was parched, so he couldn't help but pour himself a cup of tea. "Fellow Daoists, what's wrong?"
Before he could even taste the tea, the teacup was snatched away.
Yu Ye narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Er, asking him in a deep voice, "Are you saying that the Taixu Sect claimed that the Invincible Sect colluded with evil cultivators, which is why they were able to win first place in the competition?"
The waiter nodded with a puzzled look, "Yes, otherwise, how could a small sect with only a few people possibly win first place?"
Yu was so angry that he laughed.
The smile on his face was truly terrifying.
The waiter shuddered upon seeing this.
He subconsciously looked up at Lu Jingshen and asked in a trembling voice, "Fellow Daoist, is he... is he having an episode?"
Lu Jingshen's smile only grew wider, but it didn't reach his eyes. "Yes, he probably wants to tear this shop down now."
Upon hearing this, the waiter panicked immediately. "Why? His illness is quite serious. Fellow Daoist, you need to tie him up with a rope!"
Yu Ye pointed an angry finger at his nose and said, "Why do you ask? Look at us, so full of righteousness, do we look like people associated with evil cultivators?"
Xiao Er looked around blankly, glanced at Sheng Ning and the others, then looked away before timidly glancing at Yu Ye.
"They're not like them, you are."
Yu Ye: "...Nobody stop me, I'm going to tear this place down right now!"
The flustered waiter belatedly realized what was happening, his eyes widening as he pointed at Sheng Ning and the others, "You... are disciples of the Invincible Sect?"
Yu raised her chin, bared her teeth at him, and pretended to be fierce. "What? Doesn't look like it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Er was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, clutching his head with both hands. His whole body was riddled with holes as he begged Sheng Ning and the others not to kill him.
The seven people from Shengning: ......
"Despicable! Utterly despicable and shameless!" Yu Ye still had some principles after all, and didn't demolish the inn, but kicked over a bench in anger.
And sitting on the other side of the bench, Bai Ze...
"The Taixu Sect is going too far! They have no ability to take first place, and their own sect has problems, yet they are pushing the blame onto the Invincible Sect."
"Although my Invincible Sect is small, we are upright and honest. If we have ever colluded with evil cultivators, then let the Heavenly Dao strike us fellow disciples with lightning!"
His roar was so loud that Xiao Er almost fainted from the shock of his voice, which was imbued with spiritual power.
Fortunately, although he was irritable, he still retained his rationality.
After he finished speaking, Sheng Ning reached out and helped the trembling waiter to his feet.
“Fellow Daoist, you heard it too. My senior brother just swore an oath by the Heavenly Dao that the Heavenly Dao has not punished us.”
"As a major sect, Taixu Sect failed to win first place in this competition and instead achieved the worst result. Naturally, they need to find someone to take the blame."
"Unfortunately, there was some grudge between the disciples of the Invincible Sect and the Taixu Sect, so they blamed their defeat on us."
As she spoke, a sorrowful smile appeared on her small face. "After all, it costs nothing to slander a minor sect. Everyone believes them because they are the head of the four major sects, aren't they?"
After hearing these words, Sheng Ning lowered her head again and secretly shed tears.
She choked up as she recounted to the waiter the hardships the Invincible Sect had endured over the years.
The Taixu Sect also poached a senior sister from the Invincible Sect.
They also talked about how difficult it was for their master to raise them, and how they finally managed to get first place in the secret realm, only to be framed by a major sect.
After her words, not only did the waiter believe her, but even Su Daiyuan and the others were almost convinced.
"If I didn't live in the Invincible Sect, I would have believed Junior Sister's performance."
Su Daiyuan sighed inwardly and said to Lu Qing'an beside him, "Was she like this before?"
With such a significant role, he managed to bring the Invincible Sect back on track in just a few words.
Even though this inn is in a remote location, it still has guests coming and going every day.
Xiao Er will definitely spread this shocking news.
Lu Qingan had already witnessed his junior sister's acting skills before.
Looking at it again now, I still can't help but admire, "Junior Sister, you're a promising talent."
He did not say what kind of promising talent he was.
Looking at Xiao Er again, at first his face still showed a fearful expression.
After hearing what Sheng Ning said, he frowned and said in disbelief, "The Taixu Sect is so despicable?"
Sheng Ning also raised his hand and swore, just like Yu Ye, "I used to be an outer disciple of the Taixu Sect. I was subjected to inhuman abuse in the Taixu Sect, which is why I escaped from it."
"If it weren't for my senior brothers, I would probably have starved to death on the streets long ago. Fellow Daoist, you must not believe the one-sided story of the Taixu Sect."
"You should know that major sects care most about their reputation..."
Now the waiter believed it even if he didn't want to.
What kind of cultivator swears oaths to the Heavenly Dao every day?
Since Sheng Ning and the others were not punished by Heaven, then what they said must be true.
Xiao Er's trust in the Taixu Sect, which he had built up since childhood, suddenly collapsed.
He glanced at Sheng Ning, who was pretending to cry with her head down, and saw that Su Daiyuan and the others all looked 'heartbroken'. He already knew that he would not be able to sleep well tonight.
Even small sects are already having such a hard time.
He even spoke ill of them.
He's not even human!
Just as Xiao Er took a deep breath, preparing to apologize, he saw Sheng Ning raise her head.
"By the way, fellow Daoist, what did you mean by asking earlier that we brought women and children into the city because we didn't want to live?"
The waiter exclaimed "Ah!" and pointed at Lu Qing'an and Bai Ze, who was covered in dust, saying, "Recently, many beauties and children have gone missing in the city."
"When you came, did you see any demons or evil spirits on the street?"
"If they see this, your senior sister and junior brother might be in serious trouble..."
Senior Sister Lu Qing'an: ......
"Hey! You're the senior sister, I'm a man!"
