After the entire team pushed the door open, they first saw a lean old man with white hair sitting at the head of the table, and there were two old men wearing navy blue auspicious cloud robes on the left and right.
The navy blue auspicious cloud robe is uniformly distributed by the elders of the outer sect of the Qingyun Sect and is a symbol of status.
However, under normal circumstances, the elders of the inner and outer sects do not wear elder robes, but dress casually.
Because there are really not many people in the sect who don’t know the elders of this peak, and their identity cards can also prove their identities.
Now, these five elders are all dressed in serious clothes and have solemn expressions, as if they are about to deal with an extremely serious matter.
This is an extremely unusual behavior in the eyes of Zhao Yingxin and others.
As far as they know, when sect disciples go out to perform tasks, they will inevitably suffer casualties. This is a very common thing.
In the past, they had never heard that after an outer sect disciple was unfortunately killed while performing a mission, Gonglu Hall would directly invite five outer sect elders to investigate.
Under normal circumstances, the deacons of Gonglu Hall would just make routine inquiries and settle the matter.
If during the interrogation process, the surviving disciples give different opinions, or if someone makes another report, Gonglu Hall will, as appropriate, invite an elder from the Law Enforcement Hall or the Punishment Hall to intervene.
But now...
Chen Shen had just joined the Qingyun Sect, and this was his first time going out on a mission, so he didn't feel as weird as Zhao Yingxin and others.
But when he glanced around and discovered that the elder of the outer sect sitting in the middle was actually an "acquaintance", the young man realized that the matter might not be so easy to resolve——
"Huh? Isn't this the old man hiding in the clouds, sitting back and watching Zhan Dafu's murder? What's his name... Oh, by the way, Ke Duowang."
"Hey, we really are enemies on the same road!"
While Chen Shen was sizing up the other person, Elder Ke's evil gaze also happened to be aimed at him. A cruel arc gradually emerged from the corner of his mouth, and he said in his heart: "Hey, hey, little beast, I will make you pay today."
cost!"
He will never forget the shame of being ridiculed by Chen Shen that day.
At that time, the old man clearly saw Zhan Dafu murdering his fellow disciples in the clouds, but he was concerned about the elder of the war hall behind him and chose not to do anything.
When being questioned, this old bastard even said: "You didn't fall to death, didn't you?" This kind of words made the disciple of Ganqing's handyman look like an ant in his eyes!
In a rage, Chen Shen publicly told Zhan Dafu to rape Ke Duowang's wives. As long as they were not pregnant with children, it would not be considered a crime.
For this reason, Ke Duowang was furious!
The old man originally wanted to punish Chen Shen for disrespecting the patriarch, but Zhao Yingxin, Liu Susu and others pretended not to hear what Chen Shen just said. Ke Duowang had no witnesses, so he had to give up temporarily.
But since then, Elder Ke has regarded this daring handyman disciple as a thorn in his side, a thorn in his flesh, and he has always been unhappy...
After Zhao Yingxin and others greeted him, Ke Duowang narrowed his eyes and his nose trembled: "Huh! Who among you was Zhan Dafu harmed by? Let's get real!"
As soon as this question came out, everyone was caught off guard——
"Ah? Zhan Dafu? Didn't you say that you want to investigate the cause of Zhou Bufan's death?"
"Oh~ I understand. Although Zhou Bufan is one of the top ten disciples of the outer sect, he does not have as strong a background as Zhan Dafu. So compared to Zhou Bufan, the elders care more about the cause of Zhan Dafu's death, right?"
"When I think about it, I suddenly feel that Senior Brother Zhou is quite pitiful."
"Well. Elder Ke, Zhan Dafu did not team up with the disciples to perform the mission. What does his life and death have to do with us?"
"That is... to say that his death is completely asking for trouble!"
Liu Susu, the twin sisters talked to each other one by one.
"That's enough! Shut up, this elder!"
Ke Duowang roared angrily and stood up: "Listen to what you said, what is that? Huh? Isn't Zhan Dafu your senior brother?"
"As far as this elder knows, Zhan Dafu did it out of good intentions and out of a sense of loyalty to support his junior brothers and sisters, and he went on the mission with you without asking for anything in return."
"But what's the result? You came back unscathed, but the person who went to help you died unfortunately! Don't you feel ashamed?"
"As for Zhou Bufan, this elder will naturally ask about it later. But now, you must explain to me clearly who is the murderer of Zhan Dafu?"
Hearing this, Chen Shen and others couldn't help but roll their eyes wildly, truly amazed at Ke Duowang's shameless state——
"What the fuck! This old bastard is so shameless!"
"What exactly happened that day? He clearly saw it with his own eyes, and now he has twisted Zhan Dafu into a selfless hero, while we came back unscathed and turned into villains?"
Finally, Zhao Yingxin, who was the captain, said: "Elders, it is clear that Zhan Dafu's death has nothing to do with anyone in our team."
"He died at the hands of monsters and monsters. Moreover, before he died, he even wanted to kill his fellow disciples!"
"What nonsense!"
While Ke Duowang was scolding, he also quietly sent a message to Zhao Yingxin: "Zhao Yingxin, you have to think carefully before you answer, and don't act like a jerk."
"You know, with your talent, you will definitely become a core disciple in time. But don't lose your bright future just because of your temporary impatience!"
When Zhao Yingxin heard this, she actually used the method of spiritual consciousness to communicate and asked, "Oh? In the opinion of Elder Yike, what should I do as a disciple to keep my bright future?"
"It's very simple, find a scapegoat!"
"I'm not afraid to tell you that Zhan Dafu's death caused Zhan Wanhua, the chief elder of the war hall, to go wrong at the critical moment of seclusion."
"For Elder Zhan, the pain of losing his grandson may be nothing. After all, Zhan Dafu is the least useful among his four descendants. If he dies, he will die."
"But it caused his cultivation to fall back to the state before seclusion, and he wasted a huge amount of resources. This is what makes Elder Zhan Wanhua most angry!"
"So someone must stand up and convict this matter. Firstly, it is to let Elder Zhan vent his anger. Secondly... you have to cooperate with me to create an image of Zhan Dafu as a hero who died heroically."
"In this way, although Zhan Dafu died, he also earned a reputation for the Zhan family faction. Once Elder Zhan Wanhua is happy, he may stop causing trouble for you. This elder is thinking about you, do you understand?
"
Hearing this, Zhao Yingxin couldn't help feeling sick in her heart!
She has never seen anyone talk about such dirty things in a high-sounding way.
Zhao Yingxin took a deep breath to calm down the lingering feeling of disgust, tried her best to look calmer, and said again: "So, who does Elder Ke think is the most suitable person to be the scapegoat?"
Ke Duowang smiled: "Of course it's time to find the most useless person to convict!"
Having said that, his sinister eyes stared at Chen Shen's location...
