This state reminded her of someone.

Sheng He looked around and saw a piece of pink skirt at the corner at the end of the cabin.

So, is Chu Heng now also being controlled by someone, just like Xu Qingqing back then?

What about this time? What does Zhao Yanran want to do?

Sheng He did as Chu Heng said and took a few steps closer to him.

Chu Heng lowered his head and whispered in Sheng He's ear: "I know that the man in black was you. You wanted to kill me and Junior Sister Yanran."

Sheng He raised his eyebrows, grasped the twin pendants under his sleeves, and slightly curled the corners of his mouth.

It turns out that this is Zhao Yanran’s real purpose.

If she hadn't been prepared in advance, she would have been blamed without realizing it.

Sheng He raised his head and asked in confusion: "Brother, what are you talking about? What man in black?"

"Hmph!" Chu Heng snorted, his tone still flat, "Weren't you the one who placed the hidden weapon in the swamp forest and injured someone?"

Chu Heng took a step back: "I will expose you in front of the sect master myself!"

Sheng He blinked his eyes: "But brother, I don't know how to use hidden weapons at all."

The fragrance in the air seemed to fade a little. Chu Heng ignored what Sheng He said and left with his limbs stiff.

Sheng He kept staring at Chu Heng's back until he reached the corner, when his body suddenly collapsed to the ground and was quickly dragged away.

Sheng He retracted his gaze, looked at Song Jinzhi who had been standing next to him, and said with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist Song, can you do me a favor?"

Looking at what Sheng He handed over, Song Jinzhi's eyes flashed with confusion: "This is..."

"Just keep it for me for a while."

Song Jinzhi curled his lips as if he understood something: "It seems that Fairy Sheng already has a plan to deal with it."

An hour later, the flying boat landed at the gate of Qingyun Sect. All the disciples got off the flying boat and followed Tianyu to the Discipline Department.

In the lobby of the Discipline Department, the door was open, and all the disciples on duty on weekdays were not there. The sect master and several elders sat at the top, and three elders of the Discipline Department stood beside them with rulers in their hands.

As soon as Sheng He entered the door, he felt the depressing atmosphere in the lobby.

The clan leader pursed his lips tightly, his face stern. He stood up, and his cold eyes swept over everyone present like a falcon.

"I guess you all know why you are here today."

"My disciple Xu Qingqing died in the Jingyue Secret Realm. This was not an accident. You are all disciples who participated in the secret realm this time. If anyone has seen Xu Qingqing, please tell us the truth about what happened at that time. The sect will definitely reward you handsomely!"

After the sect leader finished speaking, three elders from the Discipline Department stepped forward and surrounded the disciples.

The disciples lowered their heads and dared not speak, but several of them cast their eyes on Zhao Yanran and Sheng He at the same time.

The sect leader's eyes darkened and he looked at Xuan Xiao who was sitting next to him. Seeing that Xuan Xiao's expression was normal, he pointed at Zhao Yanran.

"you."

"I remember you. You are Xuan Xiao's disciple. Let's start with you."

Zhao Yanran walked out of the crowd, bowed respectfully, stood in the center of the hall and said neither servilely nor arrogantly: "Disciple Zhao Yanran greets the sect master."

"Master, I did see Senior Sister Qingqing in the Jingyue Secret Realm. At that time, I had just entered the secret realm and was alone. I went to the Swamp Forest to help Senior Brother obtain the Qingmu Vine."

"On the way, I suddenly saw Senior Sister Sheng and Senior Sister Qingqing fighting. Senior Sister Qingqing was injured and wanted to leave, but Senior Sister Sheng chased after her with a sword. I couldn't bear to see fellow disciples fighting each other, so I stepped forward to stop them. Senior Sister Sheng got so angry that she slashed me with her sword."

"Luckily, Senior Brother was nearby at the time. Thanks to his help, I was able to save my life. However, Senior Sister Qingqing is missing. I only found out today after leaving the secret realm that Senior Sister Qingqing...she..."

Zhao Yanran's eyes were red, as if she was extremely sad. She couldn't bear to continue speaking and just covered her face and cried.

The sect leader narrowed his eyes, and his sharp gaze stayed on Zhao Yanran for a while, then he moved his gaze to Sheng He.

He knew Tianyu, his new disciple.

Too much hard work, but not enough talent.

It was probably with the help of Jinglan's elixir that he was able to build his foundation. With time, he might be able to achieve something.

But if someone said that such a disciple with five spiritual roots could kill Xu Qingqing who was in the Jindan stage, he would never believe it.

The sect leader looked at Zhao Yanran again and asked in a deep voice, "Who is the Senior Sister Sheng you are talking about?"

It was obvious that Zhao Yanran came here for him today, so before she could even open her mouth, Sheng He took the initiative to step forward.

She first bowed to the sect master and the elders, then glanced at Zhao Yanran with a half-smile and said loudly: "Disciple Sheng He greets the sect master and the elders."

"Master, I am the only disciple with the last name Sheng among these disciples, so the person that Junior Sister Zhao is talking about should be me."

"Sheng He, do you recognize what Zhao Yanran just said?"

Sheng He waved his hands quickly, looking innocent: "Master, although my last name is Sheng, I have no idea what Junior Sister Zhao is talking about!"

"As soon as I entered the Jingyue Secret Realm, I met Fellow Daoist Song who was being hunted by a group of independent cultivators. Since then, I have been with Fellow Daoist Song and Senior Sisters Mu and Yun in the secret realm. They can all testify for me."

"I just don't know, Junior Sister Zhao, you keep saying that I was the one who hurt you, Senior Brother, and Senior Sister Xu, but do you have any evidence?"

The sect leader seemed to have just noticed Song Jinzhi, who had been standing next to Tianyu, and gave him a questioning look.

Song Jinzhi immediately stepped forward and nodded, saying, "Yes, thanks to Fairy Sheng for saving me, otherwise I would have died at the hands of those casual cultivators."

"Nonsense! Do you know how long Big Brother has been looking for you? And yet you just ran away without saying a word. You are such a grown-up but you still make me worry!"

The deputy sect leader also stood up and pointed at Song Jinzhi with a look of disappointment on his face.

Seeing that the deputy sect leader was about to teach his nephew a lesson in the hall, the sect leader quickly cleared his throat and said, "Feng Xing!"

The deputy sect leader glared at Song Jinzhi fiercely, then sat back angrily, but his eyes towards Sheng He were much softer.

Mu Yao and Yun Qianshan also came forward to prove that Sheng He had indeed been with them.

Yun Qianshan glanced at Zhao Yanran with his eyes slanted, and asked curiously: "Junior sister, you just said that Xiao He hurt Senior Sister Xu, but Senior Sister Xu is a Jindan stage cultivator, and she has treasures on her body, why does she need your and Senior Brother's help to escape?"

"Yes, Xiao He has just established her foundation!" Mu Yao added, "Besides, she has no grudge against Senior Sister Xu, so why would they kill her?

Zhao Yanran seemed to be prepared. She pulled up her sleeves, pointed at the hideous sword wound on her arm, and choked with grievance, "That's because Senior Sister Sheng smeared poison on the sword!"
