Chapter 229: Last Chance
For dinner, Wei Ying had no appetite and was tasteless.
Yue Lin was also a little nervous, Feng Ting was indeed a girl with determination, she always remained calm, like everything had nothing to do with her.
But when she heard the footsteps outside the courtyard and Wu Xiao's commanding tone, her calm inevitably rippled.
Wu Xiao took two outer disciples, and he was aggressive.
"Yue Lin, Feng Ting, you two come out. ”
The two did not hesitate, put down the dishes and chopsticks, came to the courtyard, and arched their hands, "Senior Sister Wu." ”
Yue Lin was already scared.
But Feng Ting reminded her in advance that Wu Xiao has been investigating the case like a mad dog in the past two days, and she may come to find their stubble, as long as she remains calm, she will not be found out.
So Yue Lin tried her best to calm herself down.
"Where is your Errao room?" Wu Xiao asked coldly.
Feng Ting pointed to the room on the left side of the courtyard, "Senior sister, this way." ”
"Take us inside. ”
"Good. ”
Feng Ting was a little surprised, she didn't understand why Wu Xiao wanted to enter their room.
For now, there was nothing she could do but remain calm.
Entering the room, the two female disciples beside Wu Xiao couldn't help but go to their desks and count the number of plain papers.
This scene made Feng Ting a little shocked.
She knew too well what it meant.
The two female disciples finished counting and replied, "Senior Sister Wu, there are a total of sixteen plain papers. ”
"Good. ”
Wu Xiao nodded and squinted at Feng Ting, "The two of you haven't received plain paper for two months, but seven days ago, you suddenly went to get twenty pieces of plain paper, and now there are sixteen left, so where are the other four now?"
"This ...... Senior Sister Wu, you are embarrassing us, this plain paper will be thrown away when it is used, where can we afford to throw away the plain paper now?"
Feng Ting replied very quickly, and her tone was also very calm, and no nervousness was revealed.
Wu Xiaodao: "You'd better find those four plain papers, otherwise, I can determine that you are the ones who spread rumors." ”
"We?"
Feng Ting pretended to be panicked at this point.
At this time, Wei Xi walked into the room and said, "Senior Sister Wu, I really hope that you can find out the person who spread the rumors and return my reputation, but it is too much for you to investigate the case like this." ”
Wei Xi didn't know what Wu Xiao's intentions were, she only felt that Wu Xiao was suspicious of Yue Lin and Feng Ting in the name of missing plain paper, which was really a bit strong and untenable.
Wu Xiao ignored her and glared at Yue Lin and Feng Ting.
"Remember, before tomorrow, find plain paper. ”
Over, she's gone.
She didn't want to stay in Wei Xi's courtyard for half a moment.
After Wu Xiao left, Yue Lin and Feng Ting immediately burst into tears, crying and kneeling in front of Wei Xi, "Senior sister, you have to make decisions for us, Senior Sister Wu obviously can't find out the rumor-mongers, so she wants to make us scapegoats casually......"
"I know. Wei Xi was angry, "I will call the shots for you, and I won't let Wu Xiao mess around." ”
With that, she looked back at Qin Lin, "Ah Fu, you can think of a way." ”
Qin Lin didn't seem to hear Wei Xi's words, and walked straight towards Yue Lin and Feng Ting, "I haven't seen you write or paint, and you haven't received plain paper in the past two months, so why did you suddenly get plain paper with high interest seven days ago?"
"This ......"
Feng Ting hadn't expected Qin Lin to question them in advance.
However, she reacted quickly enough to immediately replied: "We also think that if we don't receive it, we haven't received it for two months, and occasionally we want to get some of it, is there any problem with this?"
"No problem. Qin Lin smiled.
Wei Xi gently nudged Qin Lin, "What are you doing, do you also suspect that it is Yue Lin and Feng Ting?" I can tell you, they are my sisters, and you are not allowed to make indiscriminate accusations like Wu Xiao. ”
"I don't know my heart. ”
Qin Lin squinted at Wei Xi and said coldly.
Wei Xi was stunned.
She would trust Qin Lin unconditionally, but at this time, she was a little reluctant to believe Qin Lin, mainly because she didn't want to believe that Yue Lin and Feng Ting would be rumor-mongers.
Feng Ting saw that Wei Xi was hesitant, so she immediately knelt down and rushed forward, crying even more sadly, "Senior sister, you have to be the master for us, we are just greedy for cheapness, and we think that plain paper can be received anyway, so we went to get some back, who ever thought, this will also be suspected." ”
"Don't cry, I don't doubt you, I'll be in charge of you. ”
Wei Xi watched them cry and felt a little heartache.
Qin Lin sneered, "You cheap and greedy are really not cheap, the plain paper is collected in the master's mansion, the mansion is in the north of the school field, and our courtyard is in the south, this middle road, far is not far, not near, it is still snowing, you can really be cheap." ”
"Ah Fu!"
Wei Xi felt that Qin Lin's suspicions were a little too much.
She emphasized again: "It won't be them, Wu Xiao just can't find the real rumor-monger, this is to catch a random person to make up the number." ”
"Are you stupid to be a teacher?, do you dare to arrest Wu Xiao indiscriminately?" Qin Lin glared at Wei Xi.
Without waiting for Wei Xi to say anything more, Qin Lin said again: "You go out first, and I'll have a good chat with the two of them." ”
"No, you can't doubt them like that. ”
"Get out!" Qin Lin commanded.
Wei Xi's body stiffened a little.
After almost a month of getting along, she was more and more able to read the expression on Qin Lin's face.
She knew that Qin Lin was angry.
"Okay, I'll go out, but follow them well, don't scare them. Wei Xi seemed to beg Qin Lin.
Then leave.
This made Feng Ting's thoughts fall into confusion.
She became more and more unclear about who was the master and who was the servant between Wei Xi and Qin Lin.
"You have also seen it, Wei Xi treats you really well. Qin Lin walked to the chair on the side and sat down.
Feng Ting stood up and pulled Yue Lin to stand up as well.
She didn't feel the need to kneel in front of an attendant.
"Of course, we know that Senior Sister is good to us, so it is impossible for us to spread rumors and slander Senior Sister. Feng Ting was sure.
Qin Lin curled the corners of his mouth, "Remember what I did with you a few times ago, instead of digging your own grave, it is better to hug a big tree to enjoy the shade, I gave you a chance, you don't know how to cherish it." ”
"Don't spew blood here, it's not a rumor we spread. "Feng Ting is tough.
Yue Lin was already stupid at this time, and she was so frightened that she couldn't speak.
Qin Lin exhaled, "For Wei Xi's sake, I'll give you one last chance and explain honestly." ”
"There's nothing to explain, what we haven't done, no matter how much you scare us, we won't admit it. Feng Ting still has this attitude.
Qin Lin stood up, "Okay, I've put up with you a few times before, but this time, I won't put up with it anymore." ”
As he spoke, Qin Lin left slowly.
Yue Lin and Feng Ting watched his figure walk out of the room and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"What to do? They already suspect us. Yue Lin was scared.
Feng Ting snorted.
"What's the use of doubting, and there's no evidence. Feng Ting remained calm.
"But where are we going to find four plain papers?"
"What are you looking for, isn't it just a few pieces of paper missing, if this is also evidence, then our Lingyue Peak is really a place where there is no royal law, I believe that the master will never use this to drive us out of the sect." ”
Feng Ting thought things through very clearly.
Yue Lin knew that things had developed to this point, and there was no way back, so she could only keep her mouth shut and not admit it.
After Qin Lin walked out of their room, he came to Wei Xifangzheng
The girl was very melancholy, she should be very desperate.
"You didn't scare them. When she saw Qin Lin coming, she immediately asked.
"I'm scared, they're too bold to be scared. Qin Lin shook his head, picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea, and drank it.
"What do you mean?" Wei Xi felt that Qin Lin had something to say.
Qin Lin: "It's a rumor they made, I wanted to bluff them and let them admit it now, so that we can solve it internally, but since they don't see the coffin and don't shed tears, there is no way." ”
"Why are you spreading rumors about them, they get along with us day and night, and we should trust each other. ”
Wei Xi frowned.
Qin Lin looked at her coldly, "Trust? It's too extravagant to talk about trust in the Five Elements Sect." ”
"Forehead ......"
Wei Xi didn't know what to do, she really didn't have too much good fortune for Tuzong
Qin Lin said: "You rest early, I will also go back to the room, tomorrow, there will be a result." ”
"Ah Fu. ”
She stopped Qin Lin, and her tone became helpless, "Why are you so sure that the rumors are Yue Lin and Feng Ting?"
"I don't know my heart. ”
Qin Lin replied simply, and then left Wei Xi's room.
The girl was immersed alone, and after a while, she came to the door, looked up at the snowflakes, and suddenly felt extremely cold.
......
Far Lake City.
The streets were deserted in the middle of the night, but two lonely figures trembled in the cold wind and walked slowly through the unguarded city gates.
"Brother, let's find a place to live first, this wind and snow are too big. ”
Ah Duo said in a crisp voice.
Aji, who was dressed in a fur robe, raised his head and looked in the direction of the end of the street, "There is an inn there, let's go and ask if there are any rooms." ”
"Hmm. ”
Ador snuggled up to her brother.
The door of the inn was closed, and Aggie knocked on it, expecting no one to answer, but heard footsteps inside.
"Who? Is it Ah Fu?"
The guards were on duty in shifts, always waiting for "Ah Fu" to come back from Tuzong and bring news of Wei Xi.
But alas, when they opened the door, they saw a man dressed as a hunter with a trembling girl.
"Is there still a room?" asked Aggie.
The guards inevitably felt a sense of loss in their hearts.
But seeing Aji and Ado shivering in the cold wind, they couldn't bear it, so they nodded, "There is a room, come in." ”
Aji entered the inn and felt a hint of warmth.
He came to the counter and hesitated.
The guards thought they had no money to pay for the room and were about to let them live for free out of compassion, but Aggie asked, "Can you exchange gold coins here?"
"Huh?" the guard was puzzled.
Just look at Aji taking out a golden ticket from his fur coat, with a face value of one hundred gold.
"I don't have any money, I just have this golden ticket. Aggie smiled awkwardly.
Several guards on duty immediately looked at each other.
They have seen that there are so many rich people in this world.
It was Ah Fu before, and he had golden tickets in his hand.
Now there is a poor hunter, and it is also a golden ticket when he makes a move.
In these years, is there a flood of golden tickets?
At dawn, Qin Lin walked out of the room, but saw that Wei Xi was already sitting in the corridor in a daze.
"Are you cold and immortal?"
It had been cold and snowing all night, and Wei Xi's face was haggard, obviously he hadn't slept and stayed here all night.
"Ah Fu, I feel very sad. She pouted.
"I can understand that Yue Lin and Feng Ting are friends in your life who know each other in the real sense. "Qin Lin.
She nodded.
Since she was in the Wei Mansion, all the people who had intersections with her were related to the Wei family.
And Yue Lin and Feng Ting are people she met outside alone, so she cherishes them very much.
Qin Lin: "This is also a lesson for you, you are outside now, not in the Wei Mansion, you must have the heart of harming people, and you must not have the heart of guarding against people." ”
"Why do you want to do this, you can't get along well. ”
"Yes. Qin Lin smiled, "But the premise is that everyone must be like-minded." ”
Wei Xi did not speak again.
Qin Lin accompanied her to watch the snow for a while, she stood up and began to practice the sword, although she was a little absent-minded, but the sword momentum became more and more beautiful, and she was already an excellent swordsman.
In addition, her martial aura concentration is also gradually increasing.
Qin Lin guessed that within a few days, her cultivation should break through.
Yue Lin and Feng Ting got up a little later than usual, presumably they didn't sleep well last night, and after the two of them walked out of the room, they hurriedly bowed to Wei Xi and went to the school for morning practice.
Wei Xi kept smiling, but she believed in Qin Lin more, so she also painfully decided in her heart that the two of them were the ones who spread rumors.
When the time reached noon, Wu Xiao sent someone to report.
"Senior Sister Wei Xi, Senior Sister Wu invites you to come to the Shizun Mansion to publicly try the rumor-mongers. "The female disciple is a polite way.
Wei Xi looked at her, was silent for a moment, and then asked timidly, "Yes, who is it?"
"Yue Lin, Feng Ting. ”
"Why them, do you have evidence?" Wei Xi still wanted to argue for them.
"Senior Sister Wu only asked me to invite Senior Sister Wei Xi to go, and you will know the rest. ”
The female disciple is Wu Xiao's person, so she naturally doesn't want to talk to Wei Xi much.
Wei Xi glanced at Qin Lin, "Is it really them?"
Qin Lin didn't say a word, led the way, and led Wei Xi to the mansion.
In front of the courtyard, there was a lot of noise, and all the disciples came to join in the fun.
However, the courtyard was empty, and it was not until the square in front of the hall of Bai Shizun's house that Li Juan and Wu Xiao were seen, as well as a number of inner disciples.
"Shizun is not here?" Wei Xi thought that Shizun was personally interrogating.
"This kind of thing, why do you need the master to come in person. "Qin Lin.
Li Juan saw Wei Xi, and coldly gestured to her and asked her to sit on the chair next to her.
Yue Lin and Feng Ting knelt in front of Li Juan.
Yue Lin kowtowed to the ground in fear and didn't look up, while Feng Ting raised her head with a disbelieving expression.
"Alright, Ran Qi. ”
Li Juan spoke.
Shizun has three disciples sitting in the hall, and the other two are in retreat, and Shizun himself only wants to condense the feminine qi, so the major affairs of Lingyue Peak are actually in charge of Li Juan on his behalf.
"Senior Sister Li Juan, we have been wronged. Feng Ting gave up her hand and did not give in.
"It's up to you to decide whether you are wronged or not. Li Juan glared at her angrily.
Wu Xiao stepped forward and asked, "Do you dare to be wronged?" Let me ask you, have you found the four plain papers?"
"Senior sister, you are making things difficult, just because we discarded four pieces of plain paper, you condemn us, and we don't accept it. ”
Feng Ting looked at Wei Xi with stubborn eyes and tears.
Pretend to be pathetic!
Wei Xi was indeed saddened by Feng Ting's eyes, but she didn't speak, she just quietly listened to Wu Xiao's vicious voice.
"Do you really think that because you are missing four pieces of plain paper, you are determined to be the ones who spread rumors?"
Wu Xiao sneered.
Feng Ting couldn't help but get nervous.
Her mind spun through to see if she had made any other mistakes when she had written those stories.
She was sure that she had planned well and that nothing had gone wrong.
"If Senior Sister has evidence, just take it out. She said with a sense of reason.
Wu Xiao slowly turned around and looked at Li Juan, "Senior Sister Li, please." ”
"Hmm. ”
Li Juan stepped forward and faced Feng Ting, "Shizun ordered Senior Sister Wu Xiao to thoroughly investigate the rumor-mongering incident, but in fact, Senior Sister Wu Xiao is just diverting your attention, and the person who is really investigating the case is me." ”
"Forehead ......"
Li Juan's words caught Feng Ting off guard.
Feng Ting has been secretly paying attention to Wu Xiao's actions, and seeing Wu Xiao investigating the case indiscriminately, she is relieved.
She really didn't expect that there was a Li Juan behind her.
Li Juan said: "Give you one last chance, confess and be lenient, otherwise, expel the Tuzong." ”
Feng Ting couldn't grasp Li Juan's pulse for a while.
