The tone was quite sad. Instead of being moved by him, Guang Chenghua slapped him in the face.
"Snapped!"
Because the force was too strong, Ximen Xiao was slapped and flew out on the spot.
On the way, he looked up to the sky and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"boom!"
After flying a few meters away, he fell heavily to the ground, bleeding from his mouth and nose, and he looked extremely miserable.
"Great Elder, what are you doing?"
"Why are you beating a disciple for no reason?"
The elders and mentors present were confused, and Ximen Xiao, who was slapped away, felt extremely aggrieved.
"Great Elder, what mistake did this disciple make? Why do you punish him like this?"
"Hmph, do you dare to complain first?"
Guang Chenghua's old face was livid, and he looked at Ximen Xiao with eyes that were about to burst into flames, "If it weren't for your arrogance and domineering, how could you have killed the disciple of your Qingwu Hall named Peng Jian'an?"
"What? Did I kill Peng Jianan?"
Ximen Xiao almost fainted, "Great Elder, you are wronged!"
"You still have the nerve to say you were wronged?"
Guang Chenghua pointed at Ye Chen and said, "You have repeatedly made trouble for him and accused him of countless trumped-up charges. He is unjust!"
"Great Elder, what do you mean by this?" Ximen Xiao became even more flustered.
"Hmph, I have already made an unannounced visit to Xieyang City on my way back. Peng Jianan did indeed die at the hands of Ye Chen, but..."
Guang Chenghua looked at Ximen Xiao again and said with a stern tone: "Peng Jian'an's death is all because of you!"
"Because of me?" Ximen Xiao was completely confused.
I have never been to Xieyang City, why did it happen because of me?
But when he thought about the process Ye Chen described just now, he felt uneasy for no reason.
According to Ye Chen, Peng Jianan did show off his power in the Nangong family just to stand up for himself, but he failed and was killed by Ye Chen with a single blow.
The reason why he deliberately ignored this point just now and blindly focused on Ye Chen's killing of the Piaomiao Sect disciples was to avoid the more important matters and avoid the crime.
At this moment, the great elder stepped forward to accuse him, and it was impossible for him to escape even if he wanted to.
"So, Great Elder, you said you had something to do and left, so you were going to secretly investigate the cause of Peng Jianan's death?" Nangong Liuli said with lingering fear.
"That's right!" Guang Chenghua nodded, "Although my life was saved by Mr. Ye, after all, it is related to the death of a disciple of our sect and must be investigated clearly!"
Having said this, he glanced at all the elders and mentors present, and said forcefully: "Although our Piaomiao Sect is powerful, we will not use our power to overwhelm others, let alone bully the weak!"
He pointed at Ye Chen and continued: "Although Ye Chen killed a Piaomiao Sect disciple, it was all the fault of that disciple. No wonder Ye Chen. If we hold a grudge against Ye Chen because of this, it will only show that we have no
Capacity!"
After some impassioned words, everyone was finally silenced.
First, Guangchenghua is the great elder of the outer sect of Piaomiao Sect, and his status and status are unmatched by anyone.
Secondly, Guang Chenghua has already said that he has investigated secretly. Who else dares to question his words?
Even Ximen Xiao fell to his knees and wailed: "Great Elder, what Peng Jianan did in the Nangong family was all the result of his own actions and had nothing to do with his disciples!"
"I know it has nothing to do with you, so there's no need to pretend to be pitiful to win sympathy!" Guang Chenghua was a little impatient.
At the same time, his eyes looking at Ximen Xiao were also full of disappointment.
What he hasn't said yet is that what Peng Jianan did in the Nangong family, although he did it on his own initiative, was ultimately for Ximen Xiao's sake.
As long as you are a confident and responsible person, you cannot just sit back and watch.
But in order to escape guilt, Ximenxiao tried his best to shift the responsibility to Peng Jianan, who died on his behalf.
This kind of bottomless, ungrateful person, no matter how capable he is, will never succeed.
"The great elder is wise!"
Ximen Xiao let out a long breath, fearing that he would spill more, so he hurriedly retreated.
Although he failed to prevent Ye Chen from becoming the outer sect mentor of Piaomiao Sect in the end, he almost got into trouble just now.
The most urgent thing is to protect yourself first, otherwise it is very likely that you will steal the chicken but lose the rice!
Because of the arrival of the great elder Guang Chenghua, Ye Chen finally successfully entered the outer sect of Piaomiao Sect and became the youngest outer sect instructor since the founding of the sect.
However, he faced an extremely embarrassing situation.
The Piaomiao Sect's outer sect did award him a mentor badge, but no branch was willing to accept him as a mentor.
In the eyes of all the mentors and disciples, his mentor was too different, too weird, and too young. Every branch was afraid of having a negative impact on him.
Only Zhou Xueyuan, the instructor of the Medicine Refining Hall, expressed his willingness to accept Ye Chen.
However, Ye Chen has no interest in teaching alchemy skills.
Because his goal is for the more advanced warriors of the Piao Miao Sect to practice their martial arts and combat skills. Once he becomes the instructor of the Medicine Refining Hall, he will only be able to access books on medicine refining techniques and will not be able to read books on warriors.
After much thought, he finally had to make a very difficult decision.
Build your own branch!
In other words, start from scratch and create a brand new branch hall for the outer gate of Piaomiao Sect.
The outer gate of Piaomiao Sect originally had exactly one hundred branches, and it has never been broken down for thousands of years.
So Ye Chen's decision once again shocked the entire outer sect of Piaomiao Sect.
"He is indeed a young man, full of energy and enthusiasm!"
"A new branch will be established if we don't get along? Only he can think of it!"
"Does he still think that establishing a new branch church is that easy?"
"Not only did everything have to be started from scratch, but the difficulties he faced were definitely far beyond his imagination!"
"I think he just got hot-headed for a while. In two days, it might be over!"
"Even if he reluctantly establishes a brand new branch, he still needs to be able to recruit disciples. If no one is willing to worship him as a teacher, will the branch still have to be closed?"
"I think he is only about eighteen years old. He is younger than many new disciples. Who wants to be a disciple who is younger than themselves?"
After hearing about Ye Chen's decision, everyone made irresponsible remarks in private.
But in fact, what everyone said is correct.
Ever since the Presbytery assigned him a remote corner as a branch hall, Ye Chen did regret it a little.
This place has been abandoned for many years. Not only is it small in size, it is also dilapidated.
And until now, he has not even recruited a disciple, and there is no one at his disposal. If he wants to clean up this place, he must do it himself.
However, it would cost you your life to clean up such a shabby place by yourself.
And if he fails to recruit disciples within a month, not only will he not be able to access various advanced exercises and combat skills, he will also be forcibly dismissed, and the branch he established will also be closed.
Anyway, what was in front of him was simply a huge pit.
"Forget it, let's go out and take a look. I hope I can trick a few fools into becoming my disciple!"
After careful consideration, Ye Chen decided to go out and have a look, starting with recruiting disciples.
