Volume 1: Red Flame Xuancao Chapter 2: Doubt
Xue Ning had already thought of her words, and her expression was extremely calm.
"I came to Shizun for something, and when I heard movement in the room, I rushed in, and when I saw Shizun fainting on the ground, I helped him to the bed."
Xiao Chengfeng raised his eyebrows, obviously not believing it, and his eyes swept sharply towards her face.
Xue Ning raised her head and met the man's gaze, without any weakness.
Xiao Chengfeng examined her for a long time before moving his eyes to the bed, he squinted at the quilt on Lin Ziqing's body, and suddenly stepped forward.
Xue Ning didn't know what this man wanted to do, so he didn't dare to move when he stood in front of the bed.
Xiao Chengfeng glared at her, "Get out of the way." β
She really still hates this man's attitude towards her!
Xue Ning was unhappy in her heart, frowned, and stepped aside.
Xiao Chengfeng didn't say a word, and lifted the quilt on Lin Ziqing's body.
Seeing Lin Ziqing's clothes neatly worn on his body, he took off Lin Ziqing's clothes again and looked at them carefully, leaving no ambiguous traces, he was surprised for a while.
Could it be that he really misunderstood Xue Ning?
didn't catch my handle, Xiao Chengfeng should be very disappointed, heh.
Xue Ning glanced at him playfully, smiled secretly in his heart, and asked in a confused tone: "Uncle Shi, how did I call Shizun just now and he didn't wake up, what happened to him?" β
Xiao Chengfeng picked up Lin Ziqing's wrist, stretched out two slender and bony fingers to probe his pulse, and replied after a while: "Someone drugged him." "But the dose is not much, and there is no damage to his body.
Xue Ning pretended to be surprised and said, "Drug? Who the hell does this kind of thing! β
Seeing that Xue Ning was still pretending here, Li Yan sneered, "Uncle Shi, don't believe her, she's lying, the drug must have been given to the head of the house!" I just saw her crawl naked into the head of the house's bed! β
"You fart! My master and I are innocent, how could I do such a rebellious thing to him? β
Xue Ning retorted sharply, anger burning in her eyes, and she really looked like she had been framed.
"You're still quibbling, you shameless woman!" Li Yan couldn't help but scold.
"Shameless? Evidence in everything? You say I climbed into the master's bed, what about the evidence? Xue Ning looked at her defiantly.
Li Yan hurriedly said: "I can see it clearly, will there be a fake?" β
"You said you saw it, you saw it? What if you lie? Then I said, I also saw that you and the master uncle have a leg! How do you explain that? β
"You....... You're spewing blood! Li Yan's face turned red with anger.
"Aren't you a bloody spurt?"
"Shut up!" Xiao Chengfeng shouted angrily, and the room immediately fell silent.
Li Yan shrunk his neck and glanced at Xue Ning unwillingly.
Xue Ning closed her mouth and rolled her eyes unconvinced, very aggrieved.
Xiao Chengfeng looked at them irritably, exhaled from his nose, put Lin Ziqing's wrist back into the quilt and covered it, before standing up and walking over to the two, looking down at Li Yan.
"Do you know the consequences of lying?"
"Uncle Shi, what I said is true!" Li Yan saw that Xiao Chengfeng didn't believe her, so he stomped his feet angrily.
Xiao Chengfeng was indifferent, and there was a hint of warning in his tone, "Your one-sided words cannot be used as evidence. β
Seeing that Xiao Chengfeng was successfully led astray by her, Xue Ning was proud.
Unexpectedly, the man turned his head again and said to Xue Ning: "Don't be happy too early." β
Meaning, her suspicion has not been cleared either.
Xue Ning's smile froze on her face, and she said in her heart, this cheap slave is really not so easy to fool!
Li Yan seemed to think of something, and said to Xiao Chengfeng: "Senior uncle, it's better to call Aunt Liuying and check her body!" β
Xiao Chengfeng glared at her, "Nonsense! She is a woman, how can she have a casual medical check-up? β
Xiao Chengfeng's words made Xue Ning stunned, this guy rarely said a human word, which really flattered her.
However, she didn't mind letting Li Yan die.
"Senior Uncle, since Senior Sister Li Yan doesn't believe me, I am willing to take a physical examination and prove it to her." Xue Ning was not afraid, and looked heroic and righteous.
Xiao Chengfeng looked at her with complicated eyes, as if he didn't expect her to agree.
Li Yan thought that Xue Ning was pretending, and sneered, "Hmph, this is what you said, I'll go find Aunt Liuying now!" β
Xiao Chengfeng wanted to stop it, but now this is the only way to prove whether Xue Ning is lying.
Li Yan rushed to find Liuying, who was the junior sister of Xiao Chengfeng and Lin Ziqing, and the only woman among the elder sword immortals in Shushan.
She has always been fair and impartial in her work, and she never favors anyone, so it is perfect to find her for a physical examination.
After half a pillar of incense, Liuying and Xue Ning walked out of the next room together.
Seeing that there was no one else left and right, Liu Ying whispered to Xiao Chengfeng: "Xue Ning and the head of the family are not reluctant, she is still a virgin." β
Hearing the word "virgin", Xiao Chengfeng coughed lightly uncomfortably, it seemed that he had really misunderstood Xue Ning.
The big stone in my heart was finally put down, and the frowning brow was loosened.
Fortunately, nothing happened to the master and apprentice, otherwise how would his senior brother face the world when he woke up?
He glanced sideways at Xue Ning, but saw her bite her lower lip with red eyes, as if she had suffered great humiliation.
Xiao Chengfeng's face was slightly gloomy, and his expression was solemn.
In Xiao Chengfeng's impression, Xue Ning rarely shed tears, but today she cried because of the physical examination.
He didn't know that Xue Ning was acting well at this time.
Raising his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, Xue Ning stared at Li Yan with a red face, "Now you are satisfied!" β
When Li Yan heard this, he was stunned in place.
How so? She obviously saw it, why did Xue Ning ......
Did she deliberately use this method to lure me into the bait and let me frame her?
It must be the case that this woman did not hesitate to sacrifice her innocence in order to deal with me? It's just horrible!
Li Yan suddenly panicked, Xue Ning escaped, so wouldn't she become a bad person?
Xiao Chengfeng's fierce eyes stabbed her face like a sword.
"Li Yan, just now you swore that Xue Ning and the head of the family did something unscrupulous, what else do you have to say now?"
Even if Li Yan was unwilling in her heart, she didn't dare to make another mistake at this moment, she only hated herself for being so naΓ―ve and fell for Xue Ning's tricks!
"Uncle Shi, it was dark at that time, and the disciple probably saw it wrong...... Ask Uncle Shi to open up and spare me this time! β
She fell to her knees with a thud and kowtowed Xiao Chengfeng twice.
Xiao Chengfeng saw that she didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at all, and his anger was even more surging in his heart.
"Did you read it wrong? Xue Ning and the head of the family are masters and apprentices, how can they be framed casually? If this matter spreads, how much turmoil will it cause and how much impact will it have on Shushan? β
Li Yan's shoulders trembled at him by his roar, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to make a sound, his eyes were red aggrieved, and he could only press his forehead to the ground, not daring to get up for a long time.
"The disciple knows that he is wrong, and the disciple will never dare to talk nonsense in the future."
Xiao Chengfeng's anger, Xue Ning had already seen it, but now when she heard these words, she tasted a different taste.
At that time, I was extremely naΓ―ve and ridiculous, thinking that it was enough to get the master, and I didn't think about how the master would face the world in the future.
Stealing joy with his apprentice, no matter how you look at it, is a stain that Lin Ziqing can't erase.
In fact, later, Xue Ning did harm Lin Ziqing, causing him to be humiliated and accused by the monks of other sects, and he almost couldn't even keep his position as the head of the sect.
Now that I think about it, Xiao Chengfeng will punish her so ruthlessly and expel her from the division, half of it is for the reputation of Shushan and Lin Ziqing, and half of it is because of resentment towards himself.
He resented her for dragging Lin Ziqing, the unearthly head of Shushan, into the abyss, and there was no return.
In the moment when she was distracted, Liuying said softly to Xiao Chengfeng: "I think it's a misunderstanding, and Li Yan also knows that it's wrong, so it's better to end this matter." β
Xiao Chengfeng didn't want to make a big deal about it, it was really bad for the head of the family to be framed and his apprentice mixed up, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
Xiao Chengfeng said to Li Yan: "Today's matter, don't reveal half a word to the outside world, go to the Discipline Hall to get three hundred whips!" β
"Disciple...... Yes, sir. β
Unable to escape the fate of being punished, Li Yan bit his lower lip fiercely, glared at Xue Ning with squinted eyes, and secretly wrote down the account.
An hour later, Lin Ziqing finally woke up.
His brain was still a little dizzy, and he couldn't get up.
Ryuyoung immediately stepped forward and helped the person to sit up.
"Is the head of the house better?" Ryuyoung asked.
Lin Ziqing nodded, his face was still a little pale, "It's okay." β
Xiao Chengfeng asked with a serious face: "Do you know who gave you the drug?" β
Xue Ning's expression suddenly became nervous, she knew that Shizun had the habit of drinking water before going to bed, and last night she smeared some medicinal powder on the mouth of the cup, and Lin Ziqing would not fall into a coma until she drank it.
She secretly did these things while Lin Ziqing was away, so he shouldn't have found out.
Sure enough, Lin Ziqing looked at Xiao Chengfeng, shook his head and said confusedly: "I don't know, I just remember that I poured a glass of water and drank it, and then I didn't remember anything." β
Xue Ning felt guilty in her heart, staring at her toes with her head down, not daring to say anything.
Liuying and Xiao Chengfeng glanced at each other, both of them puzzled.
"So, this person premeditated and sneaked into your room. But after he stunned you, he didn't do anything, why is that? Ryuyoung couldn't figure it out.
"Come to think of it, you didn't get anything from me, so you ran away." Lin Ziqing didn't understand either.
Xiao Chengfeng's face was uneasy, and he always felt that the other party would come again, "Do you want me to send more disciples to guard." β
Lin Ziqing smiled and reassured: "No need, next time I will be careful, he didn't hurt me this time, he should have no grudge against me, you don't have to worry." β
Liuying said: "The head of the family must not underestimate the enemy, in case the other party is just a test this time, what really happened, it is too late to regret it, it is always good to let the senior brother send more people to keep an eye on the point." β
Lin Ziqing has always been pure, he doesn't like so many people around him, and he knows that his junior brother and sister are worried about his safety, so he didn't refuse again.
The two talked to Lin Ziqing for a while before leaving, and Xue Ning sent the two out of the dormitory all the way.
Before leaving, Xiao Chengfeng advised: "Take good care of your master, if that person dares to come again, be sure to report it to me." β
"The disciple obeys." Xue Ning arched his hand at him.
Xiao Chengfeng couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that she seemed to be much more well-behaved and honest today, and he knew that he had saluted him.
Xue Ning just wanted to send this big Buddha away quickly, so that she could go in and talk to Shizun for a while, but this person kept standing in front of her, not moving for a long time, she asked inexplicably: "Is there anything else wrong with Uncle Shi?" β
Xiao Chengfeng was silent for a long time before he hesitated to speak: "Today's matter has wronged you." β
