Chapter 45
Ever since she played a trick on Jiang Li last time, Yu Tai has been staying obediently in her cave, waiting for the day of the draw for the competition.
No one knew if it was due to some trauma, but after that day, Jiang Li never came to see Yu Tai again.
The day of the draw for the competition finally arrived, and Yu Tai went out early in the morning.
Most monks would choose to draw lots in the afternoon when they have more leisure time. Since there are not many people around now, Yu Tai plans to go and come back quickly.
I flew to the place where the lottery was being drawn. Although it was very early, there were already quite a few people gathered.
The fighting competition was held in the Qingshan Sword Sect this year. Many disciples from all corners of the country and some independent practitioners gathered there early in the morning.
"Junior sister, good morning."
As soon as she landed, several monks came to greet her.
Ever since the Chengtian Sect was wiped out, Yu Tai hasn't felt the enthusiasm of the Qingshan Sword Sect disciples for a long time.
The other cultivators who didn't know Yu Tai couldn't help but take a few more glances at such a beautiful female cultivator.
The lots were distributed in order of queuing. Yu Tai glanced at the long line that stretched out to the outside of the square and thought that she was still a little late, so she consciously walked to the end of the line.
"Junior sister, come here. The people in front and behind are all ours. It's okay to cut in line!" A male monk shouted to Yu Tai.
The clerk standing behind him nodded at Yu Tai.
The cultivators at the back were naturally unhappy when they encountered queue-cutting, but since the other party was a disciple of Qingshan Sword Sect and the host, they, as outsiders, could not say anything and could only glance at Yu Tai with unfriendly eyes.
But when their eyes met Yu Tai's face, which seemed to be coated with a layer of morning light, many male cultivators looked away embarrassedly.
If she's so good-looking, it doesn't seem too much to cut in line.
Yu Tai, however, rejected their offer: "Thank you, Senior Brother. I'd better go and queue up."
She raised her foot again, but was stopped again: "Junior sister! How about this, if you don't mind, I'll help you draw it directly, so you don't have to queue."
The line is so long, I don’t know how long it will take. Most of the people there are male cultivators. I guess the female cultivators are shy and had to ask others to draw the lottery for them.
Yu Tai nodded: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Brother."
In fact, it doesn’t matter what the number is, she will definitely win in the end.
"Jiang Li, who are you looking at?"
The petite girl stood beside the boy and followed his gaze.
Not far away, under a towering tree that reached the sky, stood a young girl wearing a disciple's uniform with blue stripes and a white background. She was not queuing up but talking to someone. The monk had very good eyesight and she could see the girl's beautiful and delicate profile very clearly.
The morning light cast a layer of golden light on her profile. She saw with her own eyes that several male pedicurists who were about to leave after drawing lots were like being nailed to the ground, unable to move, staring blankly at the girl.
Jiang Li, who had always been uninterested in women and even hated them, stared at the girl like those infatuated men.
Although his eyes were not dull, but rather cold to the point of being creepy, Xiao Xin was still very dissatisfied.
"Jiang Li, there's nothing to see. Let's go." She said in a low voice with some grievance.
When had Jiang Li ever looked at him like that?
"The elders said you can't..." She shut up.
Just because he suddenly remembered that he had said the word "elder" on the black tortoise last time, he jumped down immediately.
I heard that he was also entangled with a female cultivator from the lower realm.
She didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that it should be the girl not far away.
Seeing that the person in front of him turned a deaf ear to his words, Xiao Xin called out again: "Jiang Li!"
"Shut up." Jiang Li said coldly.
Then he turned around and left, leaving Xiao Xin behind.
Xiao Xin pursed her lips and felt like crying.
When I was in Zuiyin Sect, I had never suffered such injustice.
But this time, she was the one who insisted on following the elders because she heard that Jiang Li was coming. She couldn't complain.
She glanced at the girl not far away again, and after realizing that she had disappeared without a trace, she chased after Jiang Li with an unwilling look on her face: "Jiang Li! Wait for me!"
No. 188.
Looking at the number plate in her hand, Yu Tai thanked the senior brother who helped her draw the lot and was about to go back.
The clerk suddenly stopped her: "Junior sister."
Yu Tai turned around and looked at him: "Senior Brother Wen?"
After calling her to stop, the clerk didn't say anything else but sent a message to her: "I heard that the Zuiyin Sect has begun to intervene in the Chengtian Sect's extermination incident. Junior Sister has had a dispute with Mo Zhen. People from the Zuiyin Sect may come looking for you. You have to be careful."
Knowing that the other party was concerned about him, Yu Tai nodded and said, "I'll make a note of it. Thank you, Senior Brother Wen, for reminding me."
Watching Yu Tai's back as she flew away on her sword, the cultivator next to her poked the clerk: "What were you secretly discussing with Junior Sister?"
The clerk glanced at him and said slowly, "Oh, nothing much... just chatting about my senior brother's secret crush on Junior Sister Li."
Upon hearing this, the monk was so angry that he pretended to hit the clerk, but the clerk dodged nimbly.
In the bustling square, two monks, still in their prime, chased and played with each other...
Above the Black Turtle——
"Yu Tai?" After hearing the name, the old man subconsciously glanced at Jiang Li who was sitting next to him.
He sat there straight with his arms crossed, his emotions showing no signs of emotion, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry from his expression.
"Chengtian Sect's leader, Mo Zhen, claimed that she had killed his daughter in the Bishui Secret Realm, and that's why he injured her. But the next day, the mortals who were responsible for delivering supplies to Chengtian Sect down the mountain discovered that everyone in the sect had died, and Mo Zhen's death was the most horrific."
Thinking of the body lying outside the hall, the atmosphere suddenly became gloomy.
Mo Zhen was the only one who did not turn into bones.
He collapsed to the ground as if all his flesh had melted, and his eyes were probably dug out by his own hands and stuffed into his mouth.
There is no doubt that this is a vendetta.
"And this Yu Tai is not the first time to be involved in a murder case." The young monk who spoke at the beginning continued.
"More than ten disciples of the Qingshan Sword Sect, including five inner disciples, died tragically in the lower realm."
"These people are usually very close to Yu Tai. Although Yu Tai herself said that she was not with them that day, there are rumors that she was not in the Qingshan Sword Sect that day."
"Although it's just a rumor, I believe that even if Yu Tai isn't the murderer, she's not innocent."
"So what you mean?" the old man asked.
"I would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go." The man's voice echoed in the room in a sonorous and powerful voice. The people sitting around the table pondered for a moment and nodded one after another.
The old man next to Jiang Li sighed: "What a pity..."
"I disagree." A serious voice sounded in the silence.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
He is Elder He of the Jade Sect.
Sensing everyone's gaze, Elder He spoke up, "You're so eager to kill an innocent female cultivator without any evidence. How is this any different from those inhumane demon cultivators?"
Damn it, you dare to touch my woman, die!
"Elder He, I know you are a serious person, but this involves demonic cultivation, and we have to give an explanation to the Zuiyin Sect, so we can't be careless about this matter."
Mo Zhen was able to take the position of the head of Chengtian Sect thanks to his distant cousin who held a position in Zuiyin Sect.
Something happened at Chengtian Gate, and Mo Zhen lost a large amount of bribes from time to time. This made Mo Zhen's cousin very angry and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.
Although they said that they would never let go of those evil cultivators who committed evil deeds, everyone knew the reason clearly.
Just as Elder He was about to continue speaking, the old man suddenly turned his head to Jiang Li and said, "Go and participate in the fighting competition."
Jiang Li's cold eyes swept over instantly.
The old man looked him straight in the eye and continued, "Kill Yu Tai with your own hands."
