Chapter 36: Confrontation
"Xiao Jin is Xiao Zhu'er?" Hearing Zhao Ruling's words, everyone present was taken aback.
Liu Junqi frowned and asked, "Are you sure?"
"I don't know who Xiao Jin he is talking about, but in Linglong Gate, I still haven't heard the name Xiao Jin called by the second person. Zhao Ruling said lightly: "Xiao Zhu'er has always lived in a simple place, even if he has little contact with the elders in the door. She and I also met once in the Ten Thousand Law Pavilion, and we talked a little more about cultivation, and finally learned that her nickname was Xiaojin. โ
Listening to Zhao Ruling's explanation, Liu Junqi didn't say much. Xiao Zhu'er has always been an outlier in the Linglong Sect, if you look at it from the perspective of achievements alone, Xiao Zhu'er is definitely the best one among all the disciples of the Linglong Sect. At the age of eighteen, he had already cultivated to the realm of the Void Spirit Realm. You must know that in addition to Xiao Zhu'er, among the other inner disciples of the Linglong Sect, the highest cultivation is only the three cultivation of the Qingqing Spirit Realm. If she made a move, she alone would be able to sweep away all the elite disciples in the Linglong Sect.
With her cultivation, it is not an exaggeration to become an elder of the Linglong Sect, but Xiao Zhu'er has never participated in anything in the Linglong Sect, she only listens to her teacher, and her teacher is the head of the Linglong Sect.
Since the Linglong Sect took charge of the retreat and cultivation, Xiao Zhu'er simply began to live an almost retreat-like life. If it weren't for the fact that she had to come forward in some serious incidents, the people of Linglong Sect wouldn't even know how much her cultivation had improved.
Thinking of Xiao Zhu'er, Linglong Sect elders like Liu Junqi have always been very disgusted. Just like disgusted with Zhao Ruling, once too good female disciples appear in the Linglong Sect, elders like Liu Junqi or Zhou Min who are not absolutely strong in combat will feel very dangerous. Because once these female disciples have grown up completely, they will stand directly on top of them.
By now, Liu Junqi had even forgotten what he was dealing with today, but began to fall into jealousy of Xiao Zhu'er again.
Seeing that Liu Junqi was actually talking and then began to lose his mind, Zhao Ruling shook his head slightly, and finally looked at Li Mingyang and said: "Today's matter, someone must be able to prove your innocence before you can be given justice." You said that your flying sword was given by Xiao Jin, so can you let Xiao Jin come out and testify against you?"
Speaking of this, Zhao Ruling asked additionally: "The Xiaojin you are talking about, is it Xiao Zhu'er?"
Hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to Li Mingyang, and even Liu Junqi woke up from his distraction. Xiao Zhu'er is so good, so good that they often don't even regard Xiao Zhu'er as a person in the same world as them, so they never think that Li Mingyang may have anything to do with Xiao Zhu'er.
"Hmph, just like him, maybe he just came out with a name, and it happened to talk about Xiao Zhu'er, Senior Sister Zhao, you asked him to call Xiao Zhu'er, but it's too embarrassing for him. Standing aside, Zhao Yan said with a sneer.
Zhao Ruling's expression was as usual, and he didn't pay attention to Zhao Yan's cynicism at all, just looked at Li Mingyang and waited for his answer.
"I don't know if the Xiaojin I know is Xiao Zhu'er......"
Before Li Mingyang's words were finished, there was a boo around him, and his words had already made people think that he was going to continue to quibble for himself.
Li Mingyang's injuries are extremely serious now, if it weren't for Zhao Ruling giving him a good healing pill at the critical moment, he would have basically passed out by now. However, he couldn't use his skills to quickly prescribe the pill, and Li Mingyang could only rely on his will to support him now, so he didn't have the heart to pay attention to how the people around him mocked him.
His right hand trembled and touched the treasure bag on his waist, took out another small bag and a jade slip from it, handed it to Zhao Ruling and said: "This is a beast bag, and there is a small cyan beetle in it, this is the control method of the little beetle." With its guidance, you can walk through the bamboo forest outside the Wanfa Pavilion and walk to the back mountain, where the little brocade I know is in a small bamboo house in the back mountain. โ
After seeing the beast bag that Li Mingyang took out, Zhao Ruling's eyes had changed greatly, although her friendship with Xiao Zhu'er was also very shallow, but she knew where Xiao Zhu'er lived. She also knew about the Thousand Bamboo Phantom Array outside the Ten Thousand Law Pavilion, so seeing this little cyan beetle, Zhao Ruling had almost believed Li Mingyang's words.
Liu Junqi and Zhao Yan have also changed a little at this time, but after all, the two of them subconsciously thought that Li Mingyang was talking nonsense, and taking out a small beetle at random was just delaying some time for themselves.
Zhao Ruling was unwilling to continue to waste his tongue on this kind of thing, and handed the Imperial Beast Bag and Jade Jian to the bell behind him, Zhao Ruling said softly: "Bell, you take this Imperial Beast Bag and go to the bamboo forest over there in the Ten Thousand Law Pavilion once." โ
"Senior sister, what if I get lost, I heard that the bamboo forest over there is a phantom array. "After all, the bell is the heart of a little girl, and she says whatever comes to mind.
"It's okay, if you get lost, I'll let the Great Elder personally rescue you. Without waiting for Zhao Ruling to comfort the bell, an unfamiliar voice came from outside the door again.
"Bai Ming?" Seeing the comer clearly, Zhao Yan frowned, and then sneered: "Hmph, today's deacon hall is very lively, because of a ghost cultivator, so many people came." โ
"To be precise, he is no longer a ghost cultivator, but a netherworld cultivator who can cultivate. Three months of cultivation to the Phantom Realm triple cultivation, such a cultivation talent, should not be discriminated against in any way. Bai Ming said without sadness or joy, and after entering the deacon hall, he personally took over Li Mingyang, who was already seriously injured.
In the Linglong Sect, Bai Ming's cultivation is not the highest among the inner disciples, but because he is the only inner disciple that the Great Elder has brought with him over the years, although he has not really apprenticed, the master-apprentice status of the two has long been known to everyone. Guo Yunshan has rarely interfered in the trivial affairs of Linglongmen, and Bai Ming has faintly become Guo Yunshan's talker.
"Thank you, Senior Sister Zhao, I'll take care of the rest. He politely took Li Mingyang over, and Bai Ming took advantage of the situation to put a palm on his back and began to help him dissolve the pill.
Then Bai Ming smiled and said to Linglong: "Please ask Senior Sister Linglong to go to the bamboo forest to see if you can invite Xiao Zhu'er." โ
After doing this qiฤ, the smile on Bai Ming's face finally disappeared completely, and the haze on his face began to increase.
"No matter what Li Mingyang's background is, he is a disciple of the Great Elder after all, and you humiliate and torture him so much, you just don't take the Great Elder in your eyes. Looking around, Bai Ming said coldly.
"Hmph, pretending. Zhao Yan still snorted coldly and said.
In Linglong Gate, Bai Ming and Zhao Yan have always been representatives of the two extremes, Bai Ming is notoriously sleek, and Zhao Yan is also notoriously domineering. It's just that these two people have never had a head-to-head confrontation, and they are both cultivators of the Qingling Realm, and people often subconsciously think that Zhao Yan is stronger.
But this time, Bai Ming looked at Zhao Yan unceremoniously and said: "If it is proved that Senior Brother Li is innocent in the end, then Chang Rong is the mastermind, and you are a complete accomplice, you still have to think of a way to make yourself less punished." โ
"Say it again!" Hearing Bai Ming's words, Zhao Yan suddenly said with fire in his eyes.
Bai Ming didn't seem to see Zhao Yan's anger at all, and said lightly: "Don't think that only you can fight, and being able to fight doesn't mean that you can do whatever you want in the Linglong Gate." โ
"You!" Zhao Yan was completely furious, and his anger made his hands begin to tremble a little. Just thinking of Bai Ming's words, in the end, Zhao Yan still sneered and said, "Okay, I'll see how you plan to follow the rules." If Linglong's girl can't bring Xiao Zhu'er back, I won't kill this kid directly when the time comes. Stealing the flying sword, stealing the exercises, humming. โ
As Bai Ming healed himself, Li Mingyang's injuries finally stabilized, and when he opened his eyes and looked at the people around him who were full of superiority, Li Mingyang said stubbornly: "I didn't steal. โ
"Didn't steal anything, where did your flying sword come from. Chang Rong has now stabilized her mind, thinking of the wolf bรจi table just now, Chang Rong is now eager to peel off Li Mingyang's skin.
But as soon as she finished speaking, Bai Ming and Zhao Ruling looked at each other coldly almost at the same time, and they were so frightened that Chang Rong didn't dare to say any more nonsense.
For a while, the deacon hall fell into a very terrible atmosphere. Whether it was Bai Ming or Zhao Yan, or Elder Liu Junqi, they couldn't do anything now, because the final decision was to see if the bell could bring Xiao Zhu'er.
More and more people came to the deacon hall to see the excitement, and after inquiring about the situation inside, they suddenly became very excited. Even many bold outer disciples have begun to bet on whether Xiao Zhu'er will appear. The people in the deacon hall faintly heard the voices outside, and found that the vast majority of people still thought that Li Mingyang was lying.
"What kind of character is Xiao Zhu'er, that is the representative of our Linglong Gate, is the reputation of the Linglong Fairy called for nothing? He's just a lowly ghost cultivator, and he still wants to have a connection with the Linglong Fairy?"
"That is, a fairy-like character will even give him a flying sword? Give him exercises? Why doesn't he say that he has won the heart of a fairy?"
"Hmph, it's just a delusional ghost cultivator, and he's already talking nonsense. โ
"It's ridiculous, if a ghost cultivator can cultivate, he will cherish this opportunity, and he would dare to cause such a big trouble. โ
"But this is really a problem, if his flying sword was really stolen, then how did he steal it, flying swords are not so easy to steal. โ
Hearing this, not to mention the outer disciples who were discussing outside, even Chang Rong and Zhao Yan in the center of the deacon hall couldn't help but be stunned. It has always been said that Li Mingyang stole the flying sword, but with his threefold cultivation in the Phantom Spirit Realm, how could he steal the flying sword out of thin air.
Just when everyone was stunned, a bell-like laughter suddenly came from outside the deacon's hall, and the bell shouted in a slightly childish voice: "Senior sister, I'm back." โ
