"The other elders are right. You are the disciple of the sect leader after all. It would be inappropriate for me to handle it without permission. Let's wait until the sect leader comes out of seclusion before making a decision."
Elder Tianjian finally made a decision and compromised.
Was he persuaded by Lin Jichen?
of course not.
Hundreds of years of grievances and hatred towards demonic cultivators have long been ingrained. How can it be shaken by Lin Jichen's words?
In fact, Elder Tianjian would not kill Lin Jichen at all. What he did just now was just for show.
He knew that other elders would definitely take action to stop him, so he took action with confidence.
But if he was really asked to kill Lin Jichen, he would definitely not be able to do it.
After all, Lin Jichen's master is Leng Feiyan, the direct descendant of the sect leader.
Moreover, Elder Tianjian actually admires Lin Jichen's talent.
He often used Lin Jichen as an example to praise in front of Chu Tianhan and other disciples, and urged them to learn from Lin Jichen.
Especially when Lin Jichen helped Jianzong win the leader of the Immortal Ascension Conference, Elder Tianjian did not feel jealous because of the failure of his disciple Chu Tianhan.
On the contrary, he was the first to stand up and praise Lin Jichen profusely, and also persuaded Leng Feiyan to promote Lin Jichen's position.
In Elder Tianjian's heart, the interests of the sect always outweigh everything else.
Apart from his deep hatred for demon cultivators, Elder Tianjian is actually very open-minded.
The reason why he did that just now was just to shock all the disciples and make them take a warning.
Lin Jichen, a talented person, naturally understands this, so he is so bold.
Admitting his mistake while resisting at the same time not only gave Elder Tianjian face, but also established the prestige of the sect's rules.
This is what both of them want to see.
"Thank you, elder." Lin Jichen thanked him.
Elder Tianyuan stood up and said with a straight face: "Hmph, thank you early. Although your power of life and death does not belong to us, it is a fact that you were disrespectful to the great elder just now, and you are also friends with the demon cultivator.
You plead guilty, so you still have to be punished!"
Lin Jichen knew that Elder Tianyuan was deliberately protecting him, so he quickly bowed and said, "Disciple is willing to be punished."
Tian Yuan waved his hand and said: "First, you will be punished to face the Jingsi Cliff for ten days! You will be temporarily removed from the position of deacon of the Shanggong Hall. We will make other decisions after the leader is released."
"Disciple, I obey." Lin Jichen agreed immediately.
"Okay, let's all disperse!" Elder Tianqing waved his sleeves and dismissed the disciples.
All the disciples in the inner hall left one after another. None of them felt anything was wrong. Only Chen Yuan had a look of disbelief on his face when he left.
"Wo Ri! Is this the punishment for colluding with demonic cultivators? Is facing the wall for ten days considered a punishment? It's so damn unfair! I don't accept it!"
Chen Yuan was deeply unhappy, but he did not dare to speak out against it at this time.
Fortunately, there was still a trace of luck in his heart. The elder said that Lin Jichen would not be interrogated until the leader came out of confinement.
I think the leader is so upright, so he wouldn't protect Lin Jichen...
Well, thinking of this, Chen Yuan eagerly waited for the show again.
"When the leader comes out of seclusion, we'll see if you die!"
From Chen Yuan's point of view, Lin Jichen's affairs this time were very serious. Who gave him such courage to make friends with demon cultivators?
Even if Elder Tianjian doesn't kill him, the leader won't be able to let him go.
This is related to the reputation of the sect. Even if he is not killed, he will at least be expelled from the sect or demoted to an outer palace disciple or even a handyman disciple.
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan became inexplicably excited.
As long as Lin Jichen is demoted or expelled from the Tianyan Sword Sect, he won't have to worry about Senior Sister Nangong interacting with Lin Jichen in the future.
When the time comes when I am close to the water, are you afraid that my enthusiasm will not impress Senior Sister Nangong? Hehehe!
After the disciples were disbanded, Lin Jichen was not in a hurry to leave.
Instead, he forced a smile and said: "Elder, how do you deal with that Baili Canfeng?"
Seeing that Lin Jichen was still obsessed with his friend who was a demon cultivator, the Heavenly Sword Qi didn't hit him anywhere, he just threw up his sleeves and left.
Chu Tianhan glanced at Lin Jichen with complicated eyes, and then left.
The other elders also left one after another, and Tian Yuan took Nangong Yue, who didn't want to leave, and ran away.
Elder Tianqing was left in the main hall.
He sighed and glared at Lin Jichen angrily.
"You brat, you can't make any friends. You insist on making friends with a demon cultivator, which made you, the Great Elder of Tianjian, almost clean up the family."
Lin Jichen said with a smile: "Master, my disciple has a clear conscience. Baili Canfeng did save the people of Xiyun City and did a great favor to our Sword Sect. This is a fact. Although he is a demon cultivator, he has never harmed the laws of nature. It is also a fact.
, our Tianyan Sword Sect is a famous and authentic sect, how can we kill good people indiscriminately?"
Elder Tianqing snorted coldly and said proudly: "What if we have to kill him?"
Lin Jichen grinned and said, "Master can't do that."
"How can you be sure?" Tian Qing wondered.
"First of all, you know what Baili Canfeng is like, so you didn't take action and just imprisoned him. Secondly, after all, Baili Canfeng is also the disciple of Tianmo Sect. If you kill him, it will definitely cause conflict between the two sects.
The battle of life and death will inevitably lead to other battles between good and evil, affecting innocent people. When the time comes, the world will be in turmoil and all living beings will be devastated. This is not a trivial matter. How could the great elders do such irrational things because of a little Baili Canfeng?
"
Lin Jichen's analysis was very clear and logical, and every sentence he said was based on their ideas.
Elder Tianqing laughed angrily, slapped him on the back, and said: "You are young, but you are very scheming. Why don't you focus on refining alchemy!"
Lin Jichen chuckled and said, "I also put a lot of effort into refining the elixir. It's true, Master."
"Okay, okay, I don't want to hear your nonsense. Although Baili Canfeng is not an evil person, he is a demon cultivator after all. It is a fact that he broke into our Tianyan Sword Sect without permission. You and he will go to Jingsi Cliff for retreat in ten days.
, tell him to get out of here quickly!"
After Elder Tianqing finished speaking, he walked straight away, leaving Lin Jichen alone in the hall.
Lin Jichen shook his head with a wry smile, then dragged his staggering steps and prepared to get up and head to Jingsi Cliff.
At this time, a figure quickly ran forward and helped him.
Lin Jichen was stunned, and when he looked back, he found that it was Baili Canfeng, a brat.
"Brother Lin, you are indeed my good brother, Baili Canfeng. I will definitely sworn sworn brothers with you in this life. From now on, we will treat each other with sincerity! We are brothers and sisters! We will live and die together!"
Baili Canfeng was smiling with sincerity, and there were even tears in his eyes.
[Ding! Baili Canfeng’s favorability towards you is +20, current favorability is: 75 points (respectfully)]
Lin Jichen froze on the spot when he heard the game prompt.
Baili Canfeng thought that Lin Jichen was too surprised to see him, so his smile became even brighter and he giggled.
However, just when he was smiling happily, Lin Jichen suddenly raised his fist and hit him...
