Chapter 114: Another Murder in the Outer Gate
Lingxiang was very embarrassed for a moment. To be honest, it was easy to deal with Rendong, after all, he had given him benefits. But how should he deal with Long Qi?
She shifted her body, feeling uncomfortable all over. The books on the table were now extremely glaring and unbearable.
After all, I am an elder of a sect. It is embarrassing to be caught in such a weak spot...
Just when Lingxiang was struggling about how to start the conversation, Long Qi started talking.
"You made the fan for him yourself?"
"Hmm..." Lingxiang responded, with a puzzled look on her face, "Of course I made it myself. Look, the things on the table haven't been tidied yet."
Doesn't this little devil understand what he means?
Long Qi couldn't help but sigh: "Then why did you only make one for him and not for me? Could it be that you are being so partial to one and neglect the other?"
Hmm? Favoring one over the other? When did she ever favor one over the other?
"Do you think this fan was blown by the wind? Even to make this one, I spent three Soul Gathering Pills to get these materials. How can it be made in an instant? Besides, this is a magic weapon for Honeysuckle. You already have the Seven Star Dragon Abyss, so why do you need a fan?"
Upon hearing this, Long Qi stood up immediately.
"But you made it yourself, and you gave it to an outsider like him?"
outsider?
"What do you mean by outsider? He is my direct disciple, how can he be an outsider? What's wrong with Master making a handy magic weapon for his disciple?!"
Eh? Why is she making such an excuse? She is the master!
"I haven't even received anything you made with your own hands, so why is it so easy for him to take advantage of it?"
"Why is it that he gets such a good deal? How about you exchange your family heirloom Seven-Star Dragon Abyss with him!" Ling Xiang suddenly got angry for no apparent reason. She sat down with her arms crossed, turning her head away without even looking at Long Qi.
Long Qi stared at Ling Xiang for a long time before he sighed: "Little girl, why are you so stupid! Alas..."
She is not smart. What do you mean she is not smart?
Lingxiang was about to retort, but saw Long Qi pick up a book on the table and look at her.
"I almost forgot this. Your book..."
Lingxiang snatched it away, then picked up several books on the table and stuffed them all into the mattress.
"I... as a Taoist, I naturally have to study various books. Moreover, this is related to the way of life in the mortal world. Even if I use it for study, so what?"
"Oh?" Long Qi narrowed his eyes, pulled at the collar of his robe, and slowly moved towards Lingxiang.
Lingxiang wanted to retreat when she saw this, but she ended up sitting on the bed. She felt like a rabbit with its ears caught: "You...what do you want..."
"Since we want to study, we can't just study books. Why not..."
Long Qi kept getting closer. Seeing him approaching the bed, Lingxiang quickly shrank back onto the bed, while Long Qi had already supported himself on the bed with one hand. The two of them were already face to face and very close to each other.
Just at this moment, Maidong came into the house humming a tune.
"Lingxiang! What shameful things have you been doing these past few days? You even..."
The word "still" was stuck in her mouth for a long time and she didn't say the next word. However, her eyes were wide open, staring at the room, and her mouth suddenly became so big that even three pancakes could be stuffed in!
"Lingxiang! You! You actually betrayed me! And... and..." Maidong's face flushed, and he couldn't say the rest of the words. He pointed at Lingxiang and stammered. Long Qi had already fled like the wind, and no one knew what the two of them said in the house later.
Just now he just wanted to scare Lingxiang. If someone saw him doing this, how could he dare to stay in the house?
He is also...
I'm so embarrassed!
……
Maidong asked all kinds of questions along the way, which annoyed Lingxiang. Even after he explained to her, she still wouldn't give in, and her mind was full of the vulgar plots in the Zichenjian storybook.
"Even if I say nothing happened, since you keep asking me questions, how can I make up a story for you?" Lingxiang talked to Maidong while walking quickly.
"Nothing? You two have already climbed onto the bed, and you still say nothing? Do you think I'm a three or two-year-old kid?" Maidong glanced at Lingxiang, and then fell into endless reverie.
Lingxiang was helpless. It seemed that she had to find a day to talk to Sixth Senior Brother. How could a good disciple be spoiled like this by him? Would he still allow her to be with him in the future? Could it be that she really had to stay by his side as a nun for the rest of her life?
The two of them finally reached the outside of Wuji Palace, and Lingxiang finally breathed a sigh of relief. Maidong could not enter Wuji Palace without being summoned. The eldest brother was the same. If he wanted to pass on a message, he could just send a paper crane letter. He insisted that this ancestor go to Xianyunju, and since he was not his own disciple, it was natural for him to order him around.
All the elders in the hall were present, all with solemn expressions. Lingxiang was puzzled when she saw this. She had only taken Shoucheng out of the mountain gate in the middle of the night. Could it be that she had violated some sect rules again?
Hi~ She has violated so many rules of the sect since she was a child, so this one shouldn't be the worst!
Lingxiang walked up to the Hunyuan platform and stood still, but the elders remained silent and Shangqing Zhenren still had his eyes closed.
This is strange. Leaving the mountain gate in the middle of the night is at most a violation of curfew. Why are they so cold and indifferent...
"Uh..." She tugged at the sleeve of Danzhu Zhenren beside her and asked in a low voice: "Eighth Senior Brother, what's going on? Why are you all so serious?"
Zhenren Danzhu sighed and shook his head to indicate that he should not say anything and wait for his master brother to come.
Hearing him say this, Lingxiang could only curl her lips and stand there waiting for Shangqing Zhenren to speak.
After waiting for a long time, Master Shangqing didn't speak, but Master Qianyuan cleared his throat and started speaking.
"What do you think, fellow disciples, about this matter?"
What? Lingxiang was confused. Are they going to make a conclusion without even listening to her explanation?
"This... I haven't figured it out yet. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you senior brothers to convict me like this..." Lingxiang said guiltily.
Upon hearing this, Shangqing Zhenren opened his eyes and stared at Lingxiang, wondering what he was thinking. Fuyin Zhenren glanced at her and complained in his heart: When has this little sister ever violated the sect rules and received a punishment? She was always given a polite gesture, but when has she ever really been punished? He has been scolded by the sect master for this.
"Ahem!" Qian Yuan Zhenren cleared his throat and said, "Junior sister has been in seclusion for the past two days, and you just arrived, so I'm afraid you don't know what happened. On the second day after you went to the Ancient Bamboo Forest, another disciple was killed in the outer sect."
"What?!" Lingxiang was shocked, "Another outer sect disciple died?"
Taoist Qianyuan shook his head and sighed. Taoist Chengxin added: "The one who died this time was Yuanhui..."
Lingxiang was even more shocked when she heard this. She had seen Yuan Hui a few days ago. The child was much younger than Wuyang, and she had watched him grow up. He was small, smiling all the time, and never had any grudges with anyone, so how could he be harmed by someone! ?
“Brother, are you joking? Yuan Hui grew up in our sect and has never left the mountain gate. How could he be killed by someone?” Lingxiang still refused to believe it. Who could be so cruel as to harm such a young child?
Upon hearing this, Master Zhaoming knocked on the railing of Hunyuan Terrace angrily, cursing "beast" and so on, with a look of regret on his face.
He was the last disciple of the Yuan generation. It was only because Yuan Hui was too young that the elders did not accept him as their disciple. They just wanted to give him some training.
That child has a very good character!
