Soon, a spiritual bird flew into the sky and flew away.
Under the gradually dimming glow, Zhao Dengzi and others did not go anywhere else, they were just waiting where they were.
When the sky was almost completely dark, under the brightening lights on the top of the mountain, the spirit bird flew back carrying a person. The person who came was none other than Wan Liqiu, the law enforcement elder of Kunling Mountain.
I was somewhat surprised to see a group of senior sect members standing silently in the night with sullen faces. I walked into the crowd and asked, "Master, why are you recruiting me back in such a hurry?"
The person who picked him up couldn't figure out what was going on, and just said that the boss had something urgent to do.
Before the leader spoke, an elder frowned and said, "Junior brother, what did you do in Dingyin District?"
Wan Liqiu was a little confused when asked, "What can you do? Just act in accordance with the decision. I will inform everyone afterwards. Is it okay to call me back in a hurry just to ask this question?"
Seeing that things were a little unclear, another elder asked: "Junior brother, what did you do to that Zhang Zhichen?"
Wan Liqiu was stunned, "What else can you do besides obeying the decision? No, you are clueless. What do you want to ask? Can you explain the matter clearly first?"
The elder who asked the question first raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down, and then roughly repeated the harsh and angry words to Lan Xuan.
After hearing this, Wan Liqiu looked solemn and confused, "I didn't do anything extraordinary. After the sect changed the lottery rules against him, it stopped the so-called 'cheating' investigation against him and prepared to go there after the last round of area competition."
If you withdraw, what can you do?"
Everyone looked at each other, feeling that it was impossible for him to talk nonsense in such a question, and they all became confused.
Zhao Dengzi: "Elder Wan, Xiang Lanxuan is a guest and we are the hosts. She is not an unreasonable person. If she doesn't find anything, she is unlikely to say harsh words to us for no reason. I hope you will think twice and think about it carefully.
Check if there are any omissions, otherwise if this woman turns against her, I, Kunling Mountain, may be in some trouble."
The implication is very simple, this is not a dispensable child's play and cannot be taken lightly.
Facing the solemn gazes of everyone, Wan Liqiu frowned and thought about it for a while, but couldn't help but shook his head, "I really can't think of anything wrong. Master, why don't I go back and summon everyone first?"
Disciples, let’s sort it out together. If we really can’t figure out what went wrong, I will personally go to Xiang Daxing and ask what’s going on. I will always figure it out and it won’t make the matter so serious.”
Zhao Dengzi thought for a while, nodded and said: "That's good, then it will be hard work."
Wan Liqiu bowed his hands to everyone, and without further ado, left immediately, and borrowed the power of the spiritual bird to quickly go away.
Although the journey was far, the power of his wings allowed him to fly over thousands of mountains and rivers. Naturally, this journey was nothing. He quickly returned to Dingyin District, and after landing, he immediately asked his two accompanying disciples to be taken to him.
Gan Ju and Qin Fujun were summoned.
As soon as the two disciples arrived, before they had finished saluting, Wan Liqiu said: "Stop everything you are doing for now and go check to see if someone here is doing anything to Zhang Zhichen behind our back."
As soon as these words came out, both disciples were startled. Gan Ju asked curiously: "Master, have you alerted the master to summon him? Has something happened?"
Wan Liqiu: "Not only did it alarm the leader, Dayesi was also alarmed. The leader didn't know the specific situation. I also want to know what happened under our noses. Dayesi's side
It seems to be referring to what I have done here. It seems to be referring to what we have investigated that should not be investigated. You two immediately summon all the people from Meteor Palace. No one is allowed to be missed. Check carefully whether anyone is targeting Zhang Zhichen behind our back.
What did you do?"
Gan Ju immediately accepted the order and said, "Yes!"
Qin Fujun's expression on the side became unpredictable. Faced with the master's order, he did not respond for a long time.
Wan Liqiu and Gan Ju immediately sensed something was wrong, and Gan Ju urged, "Junior sister, didn't you hear what the master said?"
"Huh?" Qin Fujun raised his eyes as if he had just woken up from a dream, and then he hesitated a little, as if he didn't know how to speak.
The two masters and apprentices next to them looked at each other and realized something. Wan Liqiu suddenly said in a deep voice: "Girl, isn't it you?"
Qin Fujun shook his head, "I was secretly investigating Zhang Zhichen, but the matter I investigated didn't seem to have anything to do with Dayes Division. Besides, how could Dayes Division know that I was secretly investigating?"
Wan Liqiu said word by word: "Secret investigation? Why are you secretly investigating him?"
Qin Fujun gritted his teeth, "This disciple suspects that Zhang Zhichen is the murderer who killed Ye Ling'er and Di Ling that night."
Gan Ju was surprised and said: "The person that night should be a master of the Shangxuan realm, otherwise it is unlikely that he could escape from a large-scale pursuit. With that kind of cultivation, he is not qualified to participate in the Chaoyang Conference."
Wan Liqiu raised her hand to signal him to stop, stared at the female disciple and said coldly: "Do you have any evidence?"
"I..." Qin Fujun bit his lip and said with a guilty conscience: "I'm looking...but I already have some clues. Zhang Zhichen may not have lived there when the incident happened."
Wan Liqiu frowned coldly, "Do you know what you are talking about? Possibly? Do you want me to use the word 'possible' to explain to the sect, or do you want me to use the word 'possible' to explain to Dayesi?"
Qin Fujun lowered his head.
Gan Ju on the side also showed a distressed look, "Junior sister, why don't you talk to Master about this first?"
Qin Fujun hesitated and said: "Master also said that without evidence, how can I report it to Master with the word 'possible'?"
Gan Ju: "So you went to investigate secretly without telling us? Didn't I tell you after that incident that the overall situation is the most important thing and we should deal with the aftermath?"
Qin Fujun immediately responded, "Master and the head have also said that if they find clues, they can investigate secretly."
Gan Ju stretched out his hand to ask for it, "Where are the clues? What kind of clues are there? Take them out and ask Master to give them to the sect for explanation."
These words really stumped Qin Fujun. Her clues were hard to describe, just intuition and feeling. But as things were, she had to give an explanation at this time, so she could only bite the bullet and said: "Brother, I am still suspicious as before.
I feel that the disciple who died that day was just a scapegoat, a cover-up used by the murderer. If my guess is correct, I have had a face-to-face communication with the murderer, and I feel that this Zhang Zhichen is very similar to the murderer."
Gan Ju: "Because you have met up close, you can tell with your eyes whether they are the same person. Why are you still relying on your feelings? What are you doing?"
He is also very angry, so that's all the internal affairs of the sect. When Dayesi is involved, the situation can easily get out of control. Once the master loses his status in the sect, the future of the disciples will also be bleak. This woman can
If you don’t have a future and can make a choice based on your face, what should men like them do?
The inside of the sect is not like the outside world. If there is no master here, there will be a place for the master. The outside world can find another way out. Can the disciples of the sect change to another sect at will or can they leave the sect at will? Maybe they will stand aside for the rest of their lives.
Another thing is that the master is obviously partial to this closed disciple, and he is somewhat dissatisfied.
Qin Fujun retorted, "The murderer was cunning and smeared his face with mud. It's not like my senior brother didn't know it."
Gan Ju became angry when she told him, "You were not the only one who had close contact with him at that time, right? You gathered all the people who had met him and identified him on the spot to see if you could recognize him. As long as you can prove it,
Yes, this matter will be simple."
Qin Fujun: "Senior brother, I told the murderer that he had his face covered with mud. How can they identify him?"
Gan Ju: "Are you kidding? You can't recognize him, nor can others who have seen him at close range. Why do you say he is the murderer? How can you make sense of it? Just rely on your feelings? Now Dayesi wants to explain,
Can the sect explain this to you?"
"Okay." Wan Liqiu raised his hand and shouted, stopping the two of them from arguing anymore.
Qin Fujun was also angry and stopped talking to him. He turned to his master who had a gloomy face and said, "Master, I'm just secretly checking to see if he is the murderer. What does it have to do with Daye Division? Even if he is an abandoned disciple of Longguang Sect, he is just an ordinary participant.
Speaker, how could it attract such attention from Daye Division? Do I have more and more reasons to believe that this Zhang Zhichen is not simple at all, and is more likely to be the murderer?"
Wan Liqiu said in a deep voice: "Are you sure you just secretly investigated the murderer and did nothing else?"
Qin Fujun categorically assured: "This disciple has always maintained a sense of proportion and has not done anything out of the ordinary. If he makes any false statements, he is willing to accept any punishment."
Wan Liqiu: "What did you do? Explain the process clearly."
"I took advantage of the opportunity of checking Zhang Zhichen's nickname to figure out Xiao Changdao and Wu Ronggui..."
Qin Fujun told the story of what happened.
After hearing this, Wan Liqiu thought it was nothing, but still felt uneasy, "Find those Xiao Changdao and Wu Ronggui. I want to know if they are pretending to be powerful and taking advantage of the opportunity to do anything rash."
Qin Fujun was startled, and after thinking about it, he immediately took the order and went to find those two guys.
Wan Liqiu said to Gan Ju again: "I don't know if this is what Dayesi is referring to. You can gather the people from above and verify again to see if anyone has done anything against Zhang Zhichen."
"Yes." Gan Ju also accepted the order and left.
Not long after, Xiao Changdao and Wu Ronggui were found. Faced with questioning, the two detailed their inquiries, answering whatever they asked and not daring to hide anything...
It was near midnight that Wan Liqiu and Qin Fujun rushed to the sect. He didn't know if it was related to what his apprentice had done. He only sorted it out and found out about it.
In the sect's main hall, the senior officials have been waiting, not knowing the extent of the situation and waiting for answers.
As soon as the master and apprentice arrived and Wan Liqiu explained the situation, Zhao Dengzi couldn't help but smile bitterly, "That should be it."
Several elders looked at him in confusion, and Wan Liqiu asked: "Why do you see it?"
Zhao Dengzi sighed: "Because Junior Sister Qin used the secret investigation to bump into Xiang Lanxuan's hand. The one named Ke Ran. To be precise, the people in the house where Ke Ran lived were all from Daye Division.
It seems that they were just to spy on Zhang Zhichen, and those two guys went to find them to find out. How could they hide it from Xiang Lanxuan?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned. Some elders hesitated and said: "The people from Daye Division have this arrangement, why don't we know about it?"
Zhao Dengzi shook his head: "Dayes Division arranged this matter directly with Elder Huan. Dayes Division did not allow it to be publicized, so we have not told you all yet."
Qin Fujun couldn't help but ask, "Sir, why is Daye Secretary spying on Zhang Zhichen?"
Zhao Dengzi did not say that he sent people to go deep into Longguang Sect to investigate secretly, and sighed: "Who knows? Elder Wan, just know the reason. I'm afraid you will need to take Junior Sister Qin to clarify the reason to the great leader in person.
, let’s resolve the misunderstanding.”
"Okay, if there's nothing else, we'll go there right now."
After Wan Liqiu asked for his opinion, he left with Qin Fujun and headed straight for Lan Xuan's destination.
The two of them didn't stay in Youya Guest House for too long, so they came out after explaining clearly.
On the way down the mountain, Qin Fujun felt aggrieved, "Master, are you going to give up like this? Ye Ling'er and Di Ling have served in the Meteor Palace for many years. They were invaded and murdered at home by gangsters, but the elders didn't say a word. Could it be that they were just like this in vain?"
Are you dead? Where is the justice?"
Wan Liqiu's mouth tightened for a while, and he sighed softly: "Girl, there is no absolute justice in this world. There is a word 'public' in justice. When the so-called justice affects the interests of most people, it is not justice."
,Understand?"
As soon as they finished speaking, a figure flashed in front of them, blocking their way. It was Zhanyunqi.
After he saluted, he said: "Elder Wan, the leader would like to ask Deacon Qin to come over alone."
The master and apprentice were suddenly surprised. After looking at each other, Wan Liqiu nodded to his apprentice, "I'll wait for you at the bottom of the mountain."
So Qin Fujun followed Zhan Yunqi.
When they arrived outside the sect's main hall, Zhan Yunqi didn't go in, but extended his hand to invite Qin Fujun to come in alone.
The hall was already deserted. Under the flickering lights, only Zhao Dengzi's solitary figure, with a thin silhouette, was thinking about something in front of the lights.
"Master." Qin Fujun came forward and saluted.
Zhao Dengzi turned around, smiled slightly, and asked, "What does Xiang Daxing mean?"
Qin Fujun said in a low mood: "That's not what I meant. I said that the Chaoyang Conference is the most important thing. In short, it's okay. I calmed down and passed."
Seeing her like that, Zhao Dengzi smiled faintly again, "It can be seen that Uncle Wan has high hopes for you and wants to train you to be the next elder of Meteor Palace."
Qin Fujun was shocked.
Zhao Dengzi changed the subject again: "You still suspect that Zhang Zhichen is the murderer?"
Qin Fujun thought for a while and nodded.
Zhao Dengzi: “Is there any evidence?”
Qin Fujun slowly lowered his head and said: "There is no evidence yet, it's just my intuition."
Zhao Dengzi said calmly: "Then continue the investigation."
"..." Qin Fujun raised his head in surprise, thinking that he heard wrongly.
"If the young people of a sect lose their blood, how long can this sect exist?"
"How do you explain this to Dayesi? Will Xiang Daxing..."
Zhao Dengzi turned back and stared at the flickering lights in front of him, "She cannot represent the entire Daye Division. Although we respect Daye Division, we cannot let others manipulate it casually. To be able to become the number one spiritual plant sect in the world, and to have stood for thousands of years, depends on
It's not about being submissive, it's about being a bit sharp.
Junior Sister Qin, for such a big sect, it’s not enough to be too weak. You have to hide the needle in your skin so that others don’t dare to manipulate it at will.
Someone came to my Kunling Mountain to kill people, but my Kunling Mountain can't investigate. What kind of logic does this make?
My attitude is consistent, the overall situation is the most important, but we can investigate secretly. Now that Xiang Lanxuan has spoken, we can't refute her face. After all, if she wants to embarrass us, it will really make Kunling Mountain uncomfortable, so we still secretly investigate.
It is more appropriate to check.
I am not forcing you to investigate, but I want to tell you that if you want to investigate, then go and investigate. But you must understand the consequences, be aware of the consequences, and do not cause trouble, otherwise you will have to bear the consequences.
But I can assure you, no matter who it is, as long as they are doing things for the sect, as long as it is a reasonable mistake, no matter who is responsible, I cannot guarantee anything else, but I promise that they will never be held responsible.
If you hand it over, it will at least save his life. Do you understand what I mean?"
Qin Fujun's eyes were already shining, and he nodded repeatedly, "I understand."
Zhao Dengzi looked back at her and said with a smile: "I didn't say anything after we walked out of this door. Go ahead and don't keep your master waiting."
"yes."
Qin Fujun was very excited, bowed respectfully and then left.
