Chapter 146
"Look, what is this?" a disciple exclaimed.
"So that's how it is. Isn't this just repaying a favor?"
"No wonder the Sect Master didn't show up on such an important day, and Deputy Sect Master Yunyan even refused to hand over the Sect Master's token! It turns out that the Sect Master has other plans!"
They had long known that the two deputy heads of Qingyun were both men who had fought on the edge of a knife and on the battlefield. Everyone thought that they had similar interests with Master Di Ling and therefore became brothers, but they did not know that they had actually established a relationship by taking advantage of someone else's misfortune and seeking to repay a favor.
"Where did you get the token?" Tu Hong scolded everyone harshly, "Deputy Sect Leader Yun Yan and I have never had such thoughts. Who taught you to criticize our two deputy sect leaders?!"
"Third Uncle, Ruyue doesn't want to make you sad..."
Yunyan turned around suddenly. Bi Ruyue's words at this time were like fanning the flames, catching Yunyan and the other person off guard.
Bi Ruyue frowned slightly, her eyes full of tears, as if she was a poor person who had been bullied by her elders but endured it in silence.
"When Master was in good health, you advised Master several times not to pass on the position of the head to Ruyue so easily. Ruyue thought that you loved Master and wanted to travel with him. At the same time, you were worried that Ruyue would not be able to take on this important task after leaving Qingyun. But you didn't expect that as soon as Master went into seclusion, you and Second Master forced Ruyue to do this..."
When everyone heard this, they had doubts but did not dare to speak out. They did not say it out loud but believed it in their hearts.
They didn't know that Yunyan and Tuhong had such a charming relationship. But the leader valued Bi Ruyue and wanted to pass the position of leader to Bi Ruyue. And everything that happened today plus the words on the wooden scroll...
All the reasons are so clear that it is hard not to believe.
The atmosphere was so cold that water could almost turn into ice.
There were also disciples in the crowd who argued for the two deputy heads, especially Tu Hong's disciple Zhang Chengying.
A tall man of about 1.80 meters was shaking with anger. He was about to speak for his master and the Third Sect Leader but was scolded back by Tu Hong.
Who is Tu Hong? Even if he is criticized by thousands of people, he still has his own pride. He has not done anything wrong or is too old to be bullied. It is not his turn to rely on his little apprentice to save face for him.
Yunyan always thought that she was extremely strong and nothing could make her sad. However, when she saw that Bi Ruyue, the girl she raised, was so cold to them, she couldn't help but her eyes turned red.
Tu Hong stared at the familiar characters on the wooden slip for a long time, and after a long while he clapped and laughed out loud.
"Hahaha! What a way of repaying a favor!" Tu Hong pulled Yun Yan's hand and looked around at everyone. "What token or no token? It's just an excuse! It's been so long since what happened back then, it's hard for him to write down everything on the wooden slips. It turns out that he wanted to pave the way for his disciples and leave a backup plan. I'm not exaggerating!"
"Deputy Sect Leader, please calm down..."
Everyone knelt down and bowed their heads.
They never thought that one day they would be able to hear and see such explosive secrets of their master.
Tu Hong looked at Bi Ruyue deeply, then turned his head to look at the majestic Qingyun Mountain Gate standing in the distance.
Many years passed in a flash, and no one expected that the three of them would eventually not be able to escape the cheesy and bloody ending of human nature being unpredictable and things and people no longer being the same.
The mundane world...
"Yunyan and I treat you and your master with sincerity, Ruyue! You and your master are really great! Great job!!!"
After saying that, Tu Hong pulled Yun Yan, Zhang Chengying and several other disciples followed closely behind. They strode down the stairs without looking back. Several respected teachers at the side chased after them and tried to persuade them, but to no avail.
Giving up everything to follow him into cultivation has now become what Master Emperor Ling calls a difficult task, while risking one's life to save him from danger has become a way of repaying a favor in order to cultivate immortality!
Since Master Di Ling is so heartless and ungrateful, they might as well just leave and not have to worry about him day and night!
They walked through the crowd with their backs straight. Tu Hong, who was in the lead, suddenly felt two pairs of eyes following him. The next moment, someone grabbed his arm tightly.
"Deputy Master, please stay. I have something urgent to tell you two."
When everyone heard the sound and looked, they saw that among the people kneeling in an orderly manner, there was only one person standing upright.
The woman had beautiful eyes and a slender figure. The same Qingyun disciple uniform made her look even more charming. Her calmness and confidence when talking to Tu Hong made everyone curious about her.
What was she going to do? She dared to pull Deputy Sect Leader Tu Hong? She was really brave!
In the distance, Bi Ruyue was still smiling. She elegantly lifted the hem of her clothes and slowly walked down the long steps.
"Lin Ruojin? Ha..." Bi Ruyue looked coldly at the woman in the crowd.
She walked very slowly, stepping on the stone steps one by one, but it seemed like she was stepping on people's hearts. The cramped and oppressive feeling came over them, making the people kneeling on the ground feel inexplicably uneasy.
The moment her toes stepped on the last step, she instantly stood in front of Lin Liaoruojin.
With a relaxed look and folded arms, Bi Ruyue asked with a smile: "Lin Ruojin, what do you mean?"
Lin Ruojin noticed that the gazes around her were becoming more and more focused, merging between her and Bi Ruyue. She knew the time had come, and without saying anything, she knelt down towards Yun Yan and Tu Hong.
"Little girl, just say whatever you want to say!"
"Disciple of the sect, Qingwu was brutally murdered on a rainy night yesterday. Please ask the two deputy sect leaders and the senior sister to find out the real culprit and give Qingwu justice!"
Lang Huan, who was kneeling beside him, had a pale face.
Bi Ruyue was standing in front of him and Lin Ruojin at this moment. He lowered his head and could see the tip of Bi Ruyue's shoes by just raising his eyelids slightly.
This pair of purple cloud-patterned soft-soled embroidered shoes had once left a blood-red floor underfoot in that room filled with faint fragrance and dim candlelight on the rainy night of yesterday.
He crushed her ankles, stepped on her back, and pulled up her long black hair.
Through the crack in the door, Langhuan saw that Bi Ruyue's indifferent and lonely expression became very strange. She would whisper gently to Qingwu who was struggling desperately, and then fiercely tear off her arms when Qingwu thought she could be spared.
It's not killing, it's playing.
Playing with people's lives and hearts, placing hope on them and then cruelly destroying them all.
Langhuan felt a slight soreness in his throat and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. The tip of his nose seemed to still be lingering with the fishy smell of blood and rain that night.
Qingwu, was killed?
Lin Ruojin's words finally made everyone realize that something was wrong. They asked me questions, looked around, and whispered to each other, before they realized it belatedly.
Qingwu, the follower that always follows around the senior sister, is indeed not here today.
Everyone knew that Qing Wu had deep feelings for the eldest senior sister. There were always disciples who were close to her and often teased her. They said that if the eldest senior sister was a man, Qing Wu would have to write hundreds or thousands of Taoist couple contracts!
She and her sister always stay by Bi Ruyue's side, not like disciples but more like maids. On weekdays, they can't wait to stick to the senior sister, let alone on such an important day as today.
My younger sister died at the hands of a wild beast not long ago. Could it be that my elder sister also met with the same misfortune?
"Lin Ruojin, you said Qingwu is dead, do you have any evidence?" With every step Bi Ruyue took closer, her voice became colder and colder, as uncomfortable as a poisonous snake. "I know you and Qingwu don't get along well, but at the farewell ceremony for the two senior masters today, you must be careful with your words and actions!"
"Of course there is evidence!" After saying that, Lin Ruojin raised both hands, revealing a piece of rag and a blood-stained bell in the palm of his hand. "Here is the evidence, the blue-black bell and the murderer's clothes. Please ask the two deputy heads to help the senior sister catch the real murderer!"
Tu Hong and Yun Yan had calmed down at this moment. They looked at each other and could see each other's thoughts from each other's eyes.
Langhuan frowned and thought. He was about to stand up and expose Bi Ruoyue's behavior to the public, but Lin Ruojin stepped on the hem of his clothes. He couldn't stand up and subconsciously looked at Lin Ruojin with a puzzled look.
However, he didn't know that his every move was seen by Bi Ruyue. Bi Ruyue's cold eyes slowly moved along his line of sight to Lin Ruojin's face, and suddenly, Bi Ruyue smiled.
Lin Ruojin didn't say anything, but was secretly cursing Lang Huan in her heart.
He seems to be a smart person on weekdays, so why is he so confused now and wants to stand up and report it so rashly?
Could it be that he thought that he could overthrow Bi Ruyue with just his one-sided words? Overthrow Bi Ruyue, the flower of the mountain in everyone's heart, the one that everyone wanted?
I'm afraid that in the next second, Bi Ruyue will send him to the Ministry of Justice on the charge of false accusation and kill him to silence him.
After all, human hearts are biased. Even if they are arguing now, even if she hands over the witnesses and Qingwu's relics to the two deputy heads, she cannot guarantee that these two will be on her side.
If the scandal gets out of hand, the two of them might even blame themselves for not keeping it secret.
The best way now is to let these two people stay in Qingyun, restrain Bi Ruyue, and then let Langhuan privately act as a witness to tell them the truth about Qingwu's death, so that everyone will be safe.
She could also take advantage of the chaos and reap the benefits, and bring Lin Ruofan into the Chongling Illusionary Realm after Feng Yu succeeded.
As for Master Di Ling, it all depends on whether the relationship between him and these two brothers, and his relationship as master and disciple with Bi Ruyue is strong enough.
