After Zhang Zhuo left, Lin Chen stood in the lobby of the Council of Elders silently, several elders occasionally looked at Lin Chen, and exchanged ideas with each other, Elder Redbeard looked at Elder Xu in the middle and said,

"Lao Xu, it's not that I don't give you face this time, it's that this kid you brought back from Nuha Star has a problem in nature, even if his talent is not good, his nature is still bad, and he is really not suitable for cultivation, so it's better to be expelled from the door!"

A sneer appeared at the corner of Zhang Zhuo's mouth next to him, this was exactly what he expected, he had already told Elder Redbeard that he had to kill Lin Chen this time, and when he heard this at this moment, his heart was extremely comfortable.

Lin Chen, who was standing next to him, had a slightly gloomy face, but he didn't speak.

Elder Xu groaned slightly, and responded in a consultative tone, "Old Hu, I can't judge Lin Chen's character just based on your family's words, why don't we wait until Liu Jin comes over, and then we can make a conclusion?"

Elder Xu needs to recruit a lot of people every year, and he can't guarantee that there are no 'bad guys' among these people, nor can he guarantee that these people are all amazingly talented, in fact, as far as Lin Chen is concerned, although he is one of the disciples he recruited this time, Elder Xu has no impression of him, so naturally he has no feelings at all.

In the spirit of upholding justice, even if he wants to convict Lin Chen, Elder Xu must only make up his mind after seeing enough evidence, if he is expelled from the sect indiscriminately, everyone will talk behind his back when they see Elder Xu in the future, the expulsion is a small matter, and the reputation is a big matter, and Elder Xu does not want his reputation accumulated in the Divine Sword Sect for many years to be ruined.

Zi Xuan, the only female elder present, just looked at Lin Chen calmly, she didn't have anything to say, the last time she went to Nuhaxing, she was just an auxiliary role, to take a look, so it was not her turn to defend Lin Chen, but it seemed that everyone present did not notice it, and there was a faint look of strangeness in her eyes when she looked at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen stood in place, not nervous, he simply closed his eyes and let these elders talk about his affairs, anyway, he couldn't interject, no matter what he said, he couldn't escape the responsibility, and he couldn't avoid the label that had been set for him.

After a while, the footsteps of two people came from outside the door, and the footsteps became closer and closer.

Zhang Zhuo followed Liu Jin behind him, and the two hurriedly stepped into the elders' meeting, as if they were afraid of delaying time.

After seeing the elders, the two bowed their hands and saluted the elders.

"No need to be polite, tell us quickly, what did Lin Chen do?" Elder Redbeard said impatiently, "Don't worry, no matter what you say, no one dares to retaliate against you, if you do this, our Elders will definitely confine him down, abolish his cultivation, and then expel him from the sect!"

Elder Redbeard's words were upright, as if he couldn't tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes, and after saying this, his aura was full, showing that he was upright and extremely righteous.

Liu Jin, who was standing in front of everyone, bowed to the elders again, bent down to reach a vertical ninety degrees, and his attitude became more respectful, "Elder Hu, disciple Liu Jin, I will tell you everything I know, what do you need to know, please ask me, I will do my best to answer." ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Jin's eyes inadvertently glanced at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen stood in place, still silent, as if he was quietly watching a scene, and that indifferent expression seemed to others to be speechless under the conclusive evidence, and it was also a kind of helpless acquiescence.

Zhang Zhuo's expression was a little excited, he was about to achieve his goal, he swore that being able to watch Lin Chen in front of him and being expelled from the sect by the Council of Elders, that was the most comfortable thing for him at present.

Seeing that the other elders were silent, Elder Redbeard preemptively said, "Okay, Liu Jin, I'll ask you first, you give me an honest and good answer, and the elders present are all listening to you." ”

Liu Jin nodded with a serious expression, waiting for the elder to ask.

"Did Lin Chen blame you for the fact that he robbed Zhang Zhuo's storage bag?" Elder Redbeard asked loudly.

After Elder Redbeard asked this question, he leaned back on the back of the chair with a smug face, he had the chance to win, the answer to this question didn't need to be known, otherwise Zhang Zhuo would not have invited Liu Jin over, Zhang Zhuo and the other elders also turned their heads to look at Liu Jin, waiting for his answer.

Liu Jin was stunned for a moment, his eyes seemed a little confused, and after the red-bearded elder saw Liu Jin's expression, he faintly felt that something was not quite right, and slowly straightened his waist.

"Lin Chen, did he snatch Zhang Zhuo's storage bag? I don't seem to remember such a thing. ”

Elder Redbeard frowned suddenly, and Zhang Zhuo, who was standing next to him, became even more eager, "You! didn't you say it before...... You help me identify ....."

But before Zhang Zhuo finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Jin, "What can I help you identify?" Senior Brother Zhang Zhuo, please pay attention to your wording, I am telling the truth, I am not helping anyone, I am just speaking in the spirit of fairness and fairness, please don't frame me." ”

This time it was Zhang Zhuo's turn to be stupid for a moment, and he was stunned in place, he didn't understand what happened to Liu Jin at this moment, did his brain short-circuit?

Elder Redbeard couldn't help but ask eagerly again, "Boy Liu Jin, think more about what you say, let me think about it, after the brain! Brain! I'll let you say it again, have you been framed by Lin Chen?"

Everyone stared at Liu Jin without blinking, as if they wanted to see some secret from his face.

"Tell Elder Hu, I really don't. I am sure of this, and Lin Chen is a miner I accepted in Nuhaxing, and he is also very active in mining every day, and he is the mining champion in our mining area, I know this, and he has always been rated as the best miner, as an old employer, I can testify to this. ”

Hearing this, Elder Redbeard only felt a mouthful of old blood in his chest, and Zhang Zhuo next to him looked at Liu Jin in shock again, is this Supervisor Liu a different person? Not himself?

Elder Redbeard couldn't hold back and shouted again, "Liu Jin, be careful when you talk to me......"

But Elder Xu stretched out his hand to stop him, "Eh, Old Xu, that's enough!"

The hall of the Council of Elders suddenly fell silent, Elder Redbeard's chest rose and fell a few times, this breath was not easy to hold, and after he calmed down a little, Elder Xu continued, "Since there is no child at this time, the matter of planting has been revealed, and I will not mention it again. Liu Jin, you can step down too, it's okay. ”

Liu Jin and his entourage immediately retreated, and before leaving, he glanced at Lin Chen, his eyes seemed to show a sympathy, but he was helpless, and then turned his head and left.

Lin Chen blinked slightly, and after Liu Jin retreated, Elder Redbeard was angry and continued, "Even if there is no such thing, Lin Chen is not a good bird, and everyone must already know about the task of completing the beast milk recently." ”

After a pause, Elder Redbeard continued, "Speaking of strength, can he compare to beast milk?" I don't believe it, so the only reason is that he's picking up leaks!"

According to reliable sources, he waited until the beast's milk was injured and fled, and then went to the ground to pick up blood, this kind of behavior that relies purely on luck and does not rely on strength at all is really shameful! I think we should give him a hard time thinking about his own behavior, otherwise I still think that I can really rely on luck to go through the rest of my life!"

Zhang Zhuo also stood and snorted, "Some people think that they can win by luck, but they don't know that they may not have such good luck next time!"

Elder Xu nodded slightly, he knew that this was indeed the case, he looked at Lin Chen, "Lin Chen, do you have something to say?"

Lin Chen bowed and said, "Tell the elder, the task of beast milk this time was personally awarded by the master, and when the disciple received the reward, the head of the sect personally told me that no matter who it is, in what way, as long as you can get a drop of blood, you can get the reward, and the disciple believes that he has not violated any door rules, or has any opportunism." ”

Lin Chen paused for a moment, then looked at Zhang Zhuo next to him, and continued to speak, "If someone thinks that their strength is stronger than mine, then you can rely on your strength to obtain the blood of beast milk!

Zhang Zhuo knew that Lin Chen was talking about himself, so he couldn't help but be angry, and retorted, "You, what are you rampant, aren't you just lucky!"

"That's, at least better than you......!"

“......”

Seeing that his disciple was openly provoked, Elder Redbeard immediately became even more angry, "Lin Chen, how can our Divine Sword Sect recruit a disciple like you, you must think about it, I, Hu Fei, will never allow this kind of atmosphere to grow in the sect!"

No matter what the other elders think, at least I, Hu Fei, am the first one who is not allowed to do this, the Divine Sword Sect is a sect that relies on strength to eat, it has stood for so many years, not by luck, but by strength!"

“......”

Lin Chen didn't speak again, and the Elders suddenly fell into silence again, everyone understands, what Lin Chen said is not unreasonable, but Elder Redbeard is now going to punish Lin Chen, no one would choose to offend a powerful sect elder for the sake of a mere disciple of an outside sect.
