Chapter 255: Peeling Back the Cocoon
"I'm here to help Emei eliminate the traitors, but Ning Yu, why did the Wind Master go like this?"
Ling Yao really couldn't understand why the Wind Crossing Master would die suddenly, although he had contracted the wind cold before, it was not serious, how could he ......
"I also think it's strange that Master has always been in good health, even if he is infected with a cold, he will not die of illness, but I do see Master's body decline little by little."
Ning Yu was not without other suspicions, but it was true that Dufeng Shitai did not fall ill suddenly, and it worsened little by little until he couldn't get out of bed, and then he just went.
Ling Yao's brows furrowed, and she always felt that something was wrong.
"Have you tested it?"
Ling Yao asked vaguely, but Ning Yu also understood.
"No, how can this be tested, this is a big disrespectful ......"
Ning Yu shook his head, although he had doubts, but this suspicion was not enough to open the coffin for an autopsy.
"Well, let's talk to me about the current situation."
Ling Yao was no longer entangled in this, and changed the topic to ask.
Ning Yu briefly talked about the situation inside the door, but what he said was a little sighing.
After listening to Ning Yu's description, Ling Yao knew that it was indeed Master Duping who was too big now, and Zheng Ya was trying her best to fight against her, but in fact, the power in her hands was basically suppressed and scattered.
"The hateful thing is that she is now staining Master's innocence out of thin air, and now no one can testify anymore, but it gives her a chance to tell her truth!"
Ning Yu said hatefully.
Ling Yao also felt troublesome thinking about this, if she really killed her like this, would she let the rumors fly for a while.
"Who are you looking for?"
Ling Yao asked carefully.
"There are some uncles and uncles who don't come out often, and there are some young disciples. Those uncles and uncles, most of them didn't care when the master was alive, and they only taught their own apprentices, and now they all jump out one by one to mess around, which is very hateful! ”
The more Ning Yu spoke, the more angry he became, if it weren't for the fear of attracting attention, he was afraid that he would slap the table with one palm.
In this way, Ling Yao can probably understand, I am afraid that she is a friend of Mrs. Duping, and she stays in Emei on weekdays without making a sound, so she is waiting to fight back with Mrs. Duping, and wants to take charge of Emei together.
In addition, they have all been in Emei for so many years, and some of them have connections to operate, and they must be able to control the current Emei better than Zheng Ya.
"What are they talking about right now?"
Ling Yao asked carefully, also to see if there were any loopholes to catch, it was best to change the direction of the Emei faction, after all, there will always be someone who will be the grass on the wall, and the more people like this kind of people will also affect the momentum.
"It's still the death of Master Watari."
Ning Yu was a little depressed when he talked about this, although he believed that it was not Ling Wan who did it, but now the evidence is not favorable to Ling Wan, and it has happened for so long, it is really difficult to overturn the case.
"I called Ling Wan back, there is always a way to prove my innocence."
Ling Yao nodded, thinking that this matter was indeed set up by someone to die, but there will always be a chance to prove what has not been done.
"Hurry up, Miss Ling, tomorrow is the Council of Elders, and we will decide who will succeed the leader."
Ning Yu couldn't help but tug at Ling Yao's sleeve.
Ling Yao didn't say anything, just nodded.
Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, Ling Yao didn't want to stay long.
"I'll go first, I'll come back at this time tomorrow, you just have to leave a window."
Ling Yao gave a word of advice and left.
When Ling Yao returned to the ruined temple, both of them were guarding the door with their eyes wide.
"How?"
Chen Qisheng asked first.
"Not good."
Ling Yao's face was not very good, and she didn't know if it was because the injury was not healed or because she was uncomfortable.
"Forget it, you drink some broth first, and then figure it out later."
Chen Qisheng didn't rush to ask when he saw her like this, but took a bowl of soup from the pot on the fire rack and handed it to Ling Yao.
Ling Yao also felt a little hungry and tired, so she took the bowl and drank it clean.
"You take the medicine first and rest for a while, don't be in a hurry."
Chen Qisheng stopped Ling Yao's desire to continue, and forcibly pressed Ling Yao to the grass bunk, letting Ling Yao rest.
Ling Yao paused, didn't refuse, took a Yangyuan Pill and then fell asleep.
Probably because of his heavy thoughts, Ling Yao didn't sleep long before he woke up.
By this time it was already daylight.
"Sister is awake?"
Ling Wan asked softly.
"Well, what about Chen Qisheng?"
Ling Yao glanced around and didn't see Chen Qisheng's shadow.
"Brother Chen has gone to pick fruits, and he should be back soon."
Ling Wan's voice was still suppressed, probably because Ling Yao was not fully awake yet, and she didn't want to startle Ling Yao.
Ling Yao nodded, then stood up, ready to go out and blow the wind to sober up.
"Yo, you've only slept for a while this time?"
said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and Chen Qisheng walked into the broken temple.
"Hmm."
Ling Yao simply hummed a syllable, and then walked straight outside the door to blow the wind.
After a while, Chen Qisheng also came out and stood beside Ling Yao.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Qisheng looked at Ling Yao and asked.
"I think something is wrong."
Ling Yao went through the matter in her mind again, and finally found what she felt didn't make sense.
"Tell me about it, I'll help you analyze it."
Chen Qisheng straightened his expression and waited for Ling Yao to say.
"After Dujing Shitai contracted the wind cold, Emei was completely out of control, and then after Dufeng Shitai and they returned from the Sword Discussion Society, it became Ling Wan who poisoned Dujing Shitai."
Ling Yao paused.
"As for Mrs. Dufeng, I contracted a wind chill when I visited Mrs. Dujing, and the last time I saw her, she didn't weigh much, I don't think a wind chill could kill Mrs. Dufeng, but Mrs. Dufeng died of illness."
"You mean ......"
Chen Qisheng faintly grasped Ling Yao's point.
The more Ling Yao thought about it, the more frowning she became, and it was difficult to stretch.
"The Wind Crossing Master was poisoned too much?"
Chen Qisheng said this conclusion with some disbelief.
"I do have some doubts......"
Ling Yao nodded.
"It's really not right that one or two died due to the cold, why didn't the little disciples in the door get infected, but they are two masters with profound martial arts, this can't be said!"
Chen Qisheng followed and analyzed.
Now I am suspicious, and if I think about it from this point, I can indeed perceive that there is a problem.
"What's more, back then, Mrs. Duping was found out because she poisoned the people in the door, and then fled from Emei."
Ling Yao grabbed this thought and couldn't help but think of the old story of Emei that Master Dufeng told him when he was in the Famous Sword Villa.
"Mrs. Jiuhua was also poisoned back then?"
Although Chen Qisheng had heard of this, things in the rivers and lakes would always be divorced from the real situation, so when he heard Ling Yao say this, he also remembered something.
"Well, not only that, but some of the teachers back then were also poisoned, which put Emei in a precarious situation all of a sudden."
Ling Yao remembered what Master Dufeng said at that time, that Master Duping was a ruthless master, and he didn't let go of anyone who could do harm.
"Sure enough, it's a wolf's ambition!"
