Chapter 690 Bridge Demolition and Trading
"I'm not guilty!" Zhou Li bit his lip and stared at his teacher tightly, "You know the truth of the matter, why do you want to slander me upside down?"
Yu Qingfang's face was serious, "The old man only believes in the evidence, and he will not show favoritism just because you are my disciple." β
His eyes were bright and revealing heavy oppression, "Zhou Li, now that the sect has been investigated clearly, and the evidence is conclusive, do you still want to deny it?"
Zhou Li's eyes became dazed, and she instinctively showed fear, but soon she bit her lip and broke free from the oppression in her heart.
"Teacher, I'm very disappointed in you, and I'm very disappointed in the entire True Wood Sect! You are doing this just because Feng Yang is from a noble background, and I am a humble mortal family?"
She saw her end, and her heart was cold, but since she couldn't avoid death in the end, what was there to fear?
His eyes were cold, and he swept over the halls, and the sanctimonious cultivators, Zhou Li said, "You are not worthy of being called immortals!"
Because it was a sect conference, everything in the hall could be perceived by the monks in the square, and at this moment, their eyes widened one by one, revealing a look of shock.
Zhou Li's courage this time is greater than they imagined, and she is going to die today...... But listening to what she said, everyone's hearts couldn't help but feel a little difficult, what if they were in Zhou Li's position today? I'm afraid that the result will be like this.
"Presumptuous!" Yu Qing roared, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, he didn't expect Zhou Li to be able to resist the mental oppression he exerted, and the words he said were like a slap in the face, in front of everyone.
Feeling the sneering eyes of the sect master above, Yu Qing took a deep breath, "Zhou Li, your fiancΓ© is also in the main hall at the moment, husband and wife are one, if you don't admit guilt, the old man will start a second round of investigation, and once you get enough evidence, let your fiancΓ© be punished with you! Zhou Li, do you think about it carefully, do you admit guilt or not?"
Everyone secretly scolded shamelessly in their hearts, and even used threats to avoid it, which was really a loss of identity.
Yu Qing's face was expressionless, he didn't see the eyes around him, he had to quickly cut through the chaos to solve the matter, and if he delayed for a long time, he would only be more embarrassed. If it becomes a farce, not only will Feng Qing's plan to befriend Feng Qing fail, but she will also be offended severely.
Fiance?
Zhou Li's eyes showed a trace of confusion, and following everyone's eyes, he saw Qin Yu standing in the corner of the main hall with a "panicked" expression.
It's him!
"You...... Why are you here?"
There was a sudden hint of panic in his heart, he wouldn't think that he was "touched" by Feng Yang...... I don't know why, in the face of the high-ranking monks in the hall, the girl who can sneer at each other suddenly felt a little flustered, and then she was full of grievances, and her eyes began to redden.
Qin Yu "trembled" and said, "The immortal said that something happened to you, and the old man asked me to follow." β
Looking at his pale face of fear and trepidation, the fluctuating emotions in Zhou Xuan suddenly dissipated.
That's right, Qin Yu is just an ordinary person, in the face of cultivators who are high up and have great strength, it is not easy to stay standing, and it is impossible for her to rely on it at all...... Maybe right now, he is afraid that he will be implicated by himself.
Zhou Li took a breath, and his expression became indifferent again, "Grandpa, grandma, are you okay?"
"Good, all good. β
"Then I'm relieved. Zhou Li retracted his gaze and looked at Yu Qing, "Teacher, I confess!"
With the shameless face shown by the Zhenmu faction, even if the investigation is re-investigated, the result will not change, and it will only cause Qin Yu to die.
That's it, the gray thread grass was given to him at the beginning, so he should have repaid his favor, and he didn't owe him anything from now on.
......
The Zhenmu Sect's sect conference had already begun, and Feng Qing had only arrived belatedly, in her opinion, the so-called trial that slandered the innocence of an innocent woman, and even caused her to die, was just a dirty deal of an ugly person, instinctively repulsed from her heart.
But it's a pity that Feng Qing herself is one of the parties in this transaction, no matter what she thinks in her heart, she must appear and complete her response to the real wood faction - I have received your wishes, and I will naturally give you a return in the future.
There was a tumbling in her chest, Feng Qing's face was slightly pale, but her expression did not change at all, and she walked into the room indifferently and almost coldly, through the formation arranged in advance, she could see any corner of the hall.
Over the years, she has already exercised a beautiful but warm smiling face, and a heart as strong as iron.
"Miss Fengqing, Zhou Li has confessed to her guilt!" The real wood sect monk who led the way in front turned around with a smile on his face.
Feng Qing nodded expressionlessly, not surprised by this result, how could a weak girl with no background be able to dodge, from the default malice of the entire sect.
Zhou Li, is that her name?
Feng Qing silently remembered in her heart, she would not interfere with today's ending, but after the turmoil, she could give her family some compensation...... Just like the things she had done before.
His eyes fell on the formation projection, and Feng Qing saw Zhou Li's appearance, this is a woman with a tough temperament and her own pride.
From her, Feng Qing was in a trance, as if she saw her early self, the same helpless, the same gritted teeth.
Suddenly, Feng Qing suddenly sat up straight, because in the formation picture, she saw a figure that should not have appeared here no matter what.
With a wave of his sleeves, the formation picture was concentrated and quickly enlarged, and the man in the picture was "frightened", revealing a trace of astonishment.
This person, and the figure in the memory, completely overlapped.
There is no similarity in their mannerisms and breaths, is it just a coincidence that they are similar?
No, it's not similar, between the eyebrows, eyes, mouth and nose, exactly the same!
Feng Qing took a deep breath and raised his hand to point, "Who is this person?"
The monk of the Zhenmu Sect said respectfully: "Returning to Miss Fengqing, this person's name is Qin Yu, and he is Zhou Li's fiancΓ©! β
After speaking, seeing that Feng Qing did not respond, he hesitated slightly, and said, "Does Miss Feng Qing recognize this person?" If this is the case, then it will be troublesome.
Whew-
Feng Qing suddenly got up and walked quickly to the outside, and several True Wood Sect monks were stunned and hurriedly followed. They watched Feng Qing pass through several corridors, and then a flash of inspiration flashed on his body, and he flew straight to the main hall where the sect conference was held.
In the square, the monks of the Zhenmu School, who were either indifferent, or sneering, or had complicated expressions, suddenly saw a woman flying over, her long skirt fluttering like a fairy, and she was incomparably beautiful.
She landed at the door of the main hall, took a deep breath, and stepped into it.
......
Before a smile on the corner of Yu Qing's mouth could be opened, he saw a figure flash at the entrance of the main hall, subconsciously froze for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Miss Fengqing, why are you here?" Zhou Li has already confessed, and the old man is about to announce the disposition of her. β
Although everyone knows what is going on about Zhou Li, Feng Qing's appearance in the open and honest is a little bad after all, as if he has removed the fig leaf from everyone's body, exposing the darkness and filth in it.
It is said that Xuanyun Lou Fengqing is thoughtful and smart, why is he so stupid today, he actually came here, stayed in the room honestly and watched, and waited for the dust to settle, isn't it good?
Discussing in the abdomen, the smile on Yu Qing's face unconsciously became a little stiffer.
It's her?
Qin Yu's heart moved, looking at Feng Qing who suddenly broke in, and vaguely guessed that today's battle might have something to do with her. Thinking of just now, in order to save him from confessing his guilt directly, he sighed secretly and looked up at the entrance of the main hall.
The eyes of the two touched in mid-air, and Feng Qing's heart seemed to be clenched by a silent big hand, and Qin Yu's identity was instantly determined...... It was him, the mysterious Excellency at Wutong Mountain that day.
But why did he appear here and become Zhou Li's fiancΓ©? More importantly, with his Shinto-level cultivation, he could crush the entire Zhenmu Sect into powder with a single thought, why is it the current performance?
Between breaths, countless thoughts turned in Feng Qing's mind, and she withdrew her gaze vaguely, and had a vague guess.
This may be an opportunity for yourself!
Feng Qing is definitely worthy of Yu Qing's previous impression of her, and she immediately made a decision as soon as her mind moved. She coughed lightly, facing the face of all the monks of the Zhenmu Sect in the main hall, and said slowly: "I interrogated Feng Yang just now, and he has already admitted that it was his intention to be unfavorable to Miss Zhou Li, which caused Miss Zhou Li to resist, and accidentally detonated an artifact, which was seriously injured. β
Feng Qing's tone was sincere, "Miss Zhou Li, I solemnly apologize to you here, about this matter, I will punish Feng Yang heavily, and give you enough compensation, I don't ask you to forgive him, I just hope to make up for you a little." β
The entire hall was instantly silent, and all the True Wood Sect monks stared wide-eyed, their jaws almost dropped to the ground, if it weren't for everyone's expression at the moment, they almost thought they were hallucinating.
That's not the way the script is, is it?
Miss Fengqing, how can you be like this, we Zhenmu Sect don't want to be embarrassed, and we want to slander our own disciples, and we also want to establish a friendly relationship with you and cooperate on multiple levels.
Now that we wicked people have done it, you suddenly jumped out, "let's click" and overturned the whole plate, and directly admitted your mistake and apologized, where do you put our face?
People have said that the river demolishes the bridge, and you haven't crossed the river, so you just cut the bridge and throw it into the water, don't take you to play like this!
Yu Qing's whole body froze in place, wasted a lot of energy, and squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, "Miss Fengqing, are you uncomfortable somewhat?" Ahem, Zhou Li has already pleaded guilty to this matter!"
Later, he reminded in an accentuated tone.
There is no way, things have come to this point, how can he turn back? After all, he has been in charge of this matter from beginning to end.
Feng Qing looked at him in an indifferent tone, "I know, but Miss Zhou Li's confession was out of helplessness. β
Yu Qing's face was pale, he didn't know what had happened, but one thing was certain, after today, he would inevitably become a laughing stock in the Zhenmu Sect.
Damn it!
Fengqing, what the hell are you doing?
With uncertainties in his eyes, Yu Qing began to think about what kind of situation he would face if he tore his face with her. Just thinking about it, he was deflated for a while, Xuanyun Tower's strength was by no means something he could contend with, so he had to suppress the raging anger in his heart little by little.
There was a hint of disappointment and ridicule in the eyes of the head of the Zhenmu faction on the main throne, he hoped that Yu Qing would lose his mind so that he could get rid of an opponent who coveted his position, but although it did not fully meet his psychological expectations, he was still satisfied with today's situation.
Coughing lightly, the head of the real wood said in a deep voice: "Since Feng Yang has admitted that there are some mistakes in the investigation of Elder Yu Qing, fortunately, Miss Feng Qing is fair and selfless and does not hide family affection, otherwise I will wronged a disciple from the top and bottom of the Zhenmu faction." β
Looking at Zhou Li, his eyes were soft, "Zhou Li, don't worry, the sect owes you something in this matter, and it will definitely compensate you." β
In one sentence, all the blame is on Yu Qing's identity, and there are mistakes in the investigation, which is your personal problem, and has nothing to do with the real wood faction.
In the main hall, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and their faces showed a little relaxation. Even the two elders who were friendly with Yu Qing and fought against the head of the family together acquiesced to this statement after a little hesitation.
Pushing it out to Yuqing is better than the face of the entire sect, being stripped off and trampled on the ground!
Yu Qing almost exploded his lungs, but he easily felt the change in their minds from everyone's expressions, and after his face turned pale for a while, he gritted his teeth and bowed, "What the head said is that it was indeed me who was careless in the process of investigation. β
If he doesn't admit it, he will stand on the opposite side of the entire sect, which will only make his situation more embarrassing. Looking at Feng Qing, who was like no one else, Yu Qing still didn't understand, why did she do this? If it was really fair and selfless, what was the previous act of defending Feng Yang?
I'm innocent...... I'm innocent......
Zhou Li suddenly burst into tears, the more tears she wiped, and she fell to the ground softly, crying extremely sadly. The cry was like a slap in the face, which made the atmosphere in the hall awkward, and the monks of the Zhenmu Sect looked stiff one by one.
Feng Qing walked up to her and said softly: "Zhou Li, don't cry, it's our fault, we almost wronged you." Patting her on the shoulder, her eyes flashing slightly, "You have a stubborn temper, and you are not in harmony with the gentle and introverted wood cultivation method of the True Wood Sect, would you like to go with me and practice by my side in the future?"
Zhou Li didn't know Feng Qing's identity, but from what happened just now, he could guess that she had a very high status. Thinking that he could get Qingbai, it was all because of Feng Qing's "selflessness", Zhou Li held back his tears and nodded, "I am willing." β
She is not stupid, after today's events, even if no one says anything on the surface, in fact, she has already offended the real wood faction, almost all the people in power.
If you continue to stay, it will never be better in the future, and since there is a better opportunity, of course, you must firmly grasp it.
Feng Qing smiled, very satisfied with her decisiveness, and pulled Zhou away, "Don't worry, follow me in the future, no one will bully you again." β
The meaning of this sentence is that our real wood faction is shameless and bullying a little girl? There was a lot of embarrassment in the hall.
Fortunately, Feng Qing didn't really mean to slap his face, and said lightly: "The matter has been resolved, so let's reveal it, there is nothing else, I will take them to leave first." β
As he spoke, he looked at Qin Yu.
She offended the Zhenmu Sect today and made the future head of the Feng family bear notoriety, in order to get such an opportunity.
......
Feng Qing ordered someone to send Feng Yang home to recuperate, and she took Zhou Li and Qin Yu to leave in the other direction under the pretext that she had other things.
There was silence in the carriage, and Qin Yu noticed the embarrassment between him and Zhou, "Ahem, you're fine, right?"
The conscience of heaven and earth, this sentence has absolutely no other meaning, it is just used to break the silence, but it is particularly harsh in Zhou Li's opinion.
Her face flushed slightly, and her eyes became cold, "You don't need to worry, no matter what happens to me Zhou Li, it has nothing to do with you!"
Qin Yu frowned, his eyebrows showed a little helplessness, although he knew that she was thinking too much, but this kind of thing became darker and darker, and nodded, "That's good." β
Looking at Qin Yu's expression, Zhou Li's lips moved, and she felt that her tone just now might be a little heavy. But Qin Yu's silence made her reluctant to explain after experiencing the turmoil just now, and her heart was extremely sensitive.
Qin Yu got up, "You have a good rest, I'll go first." β
Pushing the door open, someone was already waiting outside, taking him to another car.
Feng Qing watched him enter the car, with a hint of realization in his eyes, and pushed the door to see Zhou Li.
I don't know what she said, Zhou Li's mood quickly recovered, holding an ice cultivation technique, and fell into thought.
......
The carriage is very spacious, like a complete house, and the interior seems to be ordinary, but every part is exquisite, and the materials are even more exquisite.
The incense burner is burning, and the faint smoke emits out, making the air float, and the slightest refreshing fragrance makes the spirit clear.
Qin Yu sat behind the wide desk, holding a teapot and brewing quietly, and the excellent shock absorption made people feel the slightest bump in the carriage.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Qin Yu didn't look up, "Come in." β
With a "squeak", the cars opened from the outside, and with its performance could have been silent, it was just a reminder.
Feng Qing stepped forward and saluted respectfully, "Unexpectedly, after a short period of time, it is really my honor to see Your Excellency again." β
Qin Yu kept making tea, and it wasn't until he poured two cups of tea water that he stretched out his hand, "Miss Fengqing, please take a seat." Every move, as if he was the master here, calmly.
Feng Qing's eyes showed a hint of joy, and after thanking him seriously, he sat down opposite, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Being able to drink the tea made by Your Excellency is enough to make me proud of it." β
Qin Yu said lightly: "Helped Zhou Li, this is what you deserve." β
Offending the True Wood Sect and making the future head of the infamous Feng family bear the notoriety is only worth a cup of tea! But in Feng Qing's opinion, this is extremely normal, with this little thing, he wants to gain the approval of a Shinto existence? It's just a fool's dream.
All she wanted was a chance to have a conversation with this mysterious Excellency.
Qin Yu's cup of tea means that he has taken out this opportunity.
Feng Qing drank the tea silently, Qin Yu did not urge, after a while, she put down the teacup and said respectfully: "Next, please forgive me for the offense." β
Qin Yu said: "You say." β
Feng Qing took a breath, "If my guess is correct, Your Excellency, you should need some extra help in your current state." β
After speaking, he stared nervously at Qin Yu.
Qin Yu was noncommittal, "Continue?"
Feng Qing said: "Although my cultivation is not strong, there is Xuanyun Tower standing behind me, which should be able to provide convenience for Your Excellency." β
"Why do you think I need your help?"
"Your Excellency's performance today is enough to show that your strength is far from being restored. Feng Qingyi gritted his teeth, "This world is too dangerous, even if it is a Shinto powerhouse, there is a possibility of falling, you can only rest easy if you recover as soon as possible." β
Qin Yu's eyes flashed, like thunder across the sky, causing Feng Qing's body to stiffen, and fear welled up in his heart.
Wouldn't I be too presumptuous in the face of a Shinto Excellency? Even if my guess is true, it will never be difficult for him to kill himself...... But this is the only opportunity, and if you miss it, I'm afraid you won't be able to meet it again in this life.
I don't know how long it took, just when Feng Qing's mind was about to collapse, Qin Yu's eyes returned to calm, and he said lightly: "Your guess is right, this seat is indeed facing some problems now, if you can help, I will give you enough rewards." β
It worked!
Feng Qing exhaled, a smile on his pale face, "Of course, please rest assured, Your Excellency, I will definitely do my best to help you recover as soon as possible." β
Qin Yu said: "Say, what are your requirements?"
There is no such thing as a free lunch.
Feng Qing said in a deep voice: "I hope that Your Excellency can help me investigate one thing clearly, why does the true master of Xuanyun Mansion attach so much importance to me." β
Qin Yu was not surprised, he tapped his fingers on the table, "Do you suspect that there is another hidden secret?"
Feng Qing shook his head, "No, I've tried many methods, but all in vain. But Your Excellency, you think that I am just an orphan daughter of a ruined family, what is the difference between being able to get the favor of the master of Xuanyun Tower and become his spokesperson for walking on the ground. β
Qin Yu said lightly: "You lie." β
Feng Qing's face stiffened slightly.
Qin Yu got up, "It seems that there is no need to talk about it anymore." β
Feng Qing hurriedly said: "Your Excellency is angry, Feng Qing knows that it is wrong, I ...... I just thought it was weird. β
She stood up in front of her, her face pleading.
Qin Yu's face was expressionless, "One last chance, if you have to hide it again, the matter will be over." β
"I tell you all. Feng Qing recalled, with a look of fear on his face, "I remember very clearly, after the eighteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, I would fall asleep unconsciously every night, and then have the same dream, in the dream I ran in the dark forest, but no matter how fast I ran or how far I ran, I couldn't get rid of the cold eyes floating behind me." β
Her body curled up slightly, her voice trembled, "It was a pair of pale eyes, without any other color, and it was like an abyss inside, cold and silent. I could feel its greed in those eyes, and it wanted to devour my ...... Yes, it's going to eat my ......"
Pale eyes?
Qin Yu frowned, "What does this have to do with your suspicions?"
Feng Qing was silent for a while and continued to speak, "The real owner of Xuanyun Tower is mysterious, and the outside world only knows that he is a tall and thin middle-aged man, and no one has ever seen his appearance. A few years ago, during a high-level trade fair, I accidentally learned that the owner of Xuanyun Tower had a title...... He is called the Lord of the White Eyes. β
The blood on her face faded.
