Tu Nian was stunned. "Who are you talking about? Xue Shiqian?"
Bai Zhu shook his head, "No, it was Elder Jie who came with a few elders. Sect Master Xue was not here."
"I just dealt with his own disciple, but you're putting such a big accusation on me. I want to hear him explain how I harmed his disciple."
Tu Nian was about to enter the cabinet to confront the old man, but Bai Zhu saw that she seemed to have misunderstood and hurriedly stopped her.
"Sister, sister. Don't be impulsive."
Tu Nian insisted on his own way, broke free from his hand and walked inside. "Don't worry about it. That old guy is just looking for trouble for his disciple. I'll go and talk to him. He uses this excuse and is not afraid of getting his tongue bitten by the wind."
"It's not that simple!"
Bai Zhu was anxious, but he didn't dare to drag her away, so he had to chase her and explain, "You were out these past two days and didn't know that something happened in Bi Hai!"
Tu Nian finally stopped and asked with a frown, "What's the matter?"
Bai Zhu lowered his head. "I'm not very clear about the details. I only know that all the disciples guarding the gate of Bi Hai died when the incident happened. No one knows who did it. And before the incident, you had just left Bi Hai, so..."
"So these old guys insisted that I was the one who did it."
Tu Nian narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Interesting, to be honest, it was after I left that Bi Hai got into trouble."
"I don't believe their claims, but the elders are very confident and their claims are well-founded."
First, he glanced at Jin Nanfeng beside her, then glanced around at the disciples whispering to each other. Bai Zhu lowered his voice and said, "Everyone has heard so much that it is inevitable that they will become suspicious."
"It's just a small matter, just a misunderstanding, just resolve it."
Lifting his eyelids, Tu Nian said, "Give orders to all the disciples to do what they should do. But I heard a few gossips gathered here like this. If there were guests visiting, they would think something big happened to our snow."
After saying that, she and Jin Nanfeng walked towards the cabinet, but were stopped by someone at the door.
"Please stay, both of you."
Shi Yan bowed and said, "The Sect Master has ordered that no one is allowed to interrupt him while he is discussing matters with Elder Bi Hai, especially you, Senior Sister Tu."
Tu Nian said, "This is a different time now. Master doesn't know the truth, so he's trying to protect me. Please step aside and let me go up and say a few words to the elder and then leave."
However, Shi Yan remained motionless after hearing this, still bowing his head and saying, "The Sect Master's orders cannot be disobeyed. I beg Senior Sister Tu to forgive me."
"Shiyan...Brother, what are you doing?"
Tu Nian was about to say something more, but after saying just two words, he saw Jin Nanfeng raise his hand and use a stream of spiritual power to freeze Shi Yan in place. He couldn't help but cry out in shock.
Jin Nanfeng walked around Shi Yan, who was standing still, as if nothing had happened, leaving only his back to her. "I'll take you up there and finish what you want to say. If Master asks, just say I was the one who did it."
"Oh my god, so domineering..."
Muttering in a daze, Tu Nian hurriedly followed.
Before, when Nie Yanchen was working in the cabinet, Tu Nian was busy practicing in various places. Now Tu Nian has been promoted to the pillar of the sect, and Nie Yanchen has moved his official business to the main peak tower. Basically, Tu Nian has rarely come to the cabinet.
Now that Jin Nanfeng had taken her to have a look, she realized that these unrenovated areas in the sect really had the aura of a large sect, which showed how thick the snow was in the past.
Following Jin Nanfeng to the stairs on the second floor, he suddenly stopped and turned around to ask her, "Are you going in now?"
Tu Nian was stunned for a moment, then he took out a talisman from his pocket and handed it to him, "You can hear the conversation inside the room from this distance."
Looking up, Jin Nanfeng's face was as calm as usual.
Tu Nian couldn't help but think of the time when he saved himself under the thousand-year-old golden tree, and what happened just now, and thought that maybe this was the feeling of reliability.
Feeling warm in her heart, she wrinkled her nose and pushed the talisman back. "The innocent are innocent. I don't need to explain myself for things I didn't do."
Jin Nanfeng didn't act like a good brother who insisted on clearing her name. He put away the talisman, nodded slightly, and went back downstairs.
"I'll take Yanyu's news to the main tower first. Come over when you're done."
"good."
After Tu Nian responded, he turned around and pushed open the third-floor door. Before he could walk in, Nie Yanchen's firm voice came from the hall.
"No need to say more. In short, without solid evidence, no matter how much you elders say to me, it will be useless. I will not hand the person over to you. Please return."
He finished speaking, and immediately afterwards, Jie Wenchang's deep, angry voice rang out, "Sect Master Nie, please understand that we are talking about nine lives. Bi Hai and Ji Xue have been friends for nearly a thousand years. Are you going to disregard the relationship between the two sects just for a mere disciple?"
Tu Nian didn't think anything of it at first, but when he heard this he burst out laughing, attracting the attention of several old men who were having a serious discussion.
Nie Yanchen saw her immediately and his expression suddenly became serious. "Xiao Si? Who let you in? Where is Shi Yan? You have nothing to do here. Leave first."
“Wait!”
He called out in full force, and Jie Wenchang pointed at Tu Nian with a dark face, "Is this what the Sect Master meant by 'the disciple is not within the sect'? Humph, Sect Master Nie is a bit too protective of his own shortcomings."
"Master didn't lie to you. I did go out on some business today."
After laughing, Tu Nian walked straight behind Nie Yanchen and held down his body as he was about to stand up. Then he leaned his arms on the back of his chair and glanced at the old men in front of him with interest.
Finally, her gaze fell on Jie Wenchang. "I never expected that Elder Jie, who always seemed so arrogant, would have such a refined taste and even discuss the so-called 'relationship between the two sects' with my master. I was really startled just now and laughed a little rudely. I hope the elders will forgive me."
Her tone was playful, and the mockery between the lines was self-evident. One of the elders slammed the table upon hearing this and said, "When did it become your turn, a brat, to butt in on matters between the two sects?"
"She arrived just in time. Let's take her back now and seek justice for the nine disciples who died in vain!"
The other one was even more radical. He simply stopped talking and was about to stand up to catch Tu Nian who was hiding behind Nie Yanchen.
However, the moment he stood up, a tremendous pressure instantly enveloped him, forcing him to unable to move. He couldn't even stand up straight with his legs, and he fell back into his seat involuntarily.
At the same time, the other elders of Bi Hai also clearly felt the pressure that seemed like that of the ancient times. They all looked at Nie Yanchen, who had a calm expression and was as still as a mountain, in shock or horror.
Looking at everyone calmly, Nie Yanchen slowly said, "Elders, please remember that this is snow, not the sea."
