Sorry, I'm Slightly Better Below

Chapter 78 Misunderstanding

Half an hour later, in the main hall of Azure Sun Sect, several elders responsible for handling sect affairs gathered together.

Li Qingping sat on the edge and drank tea quietly.

Chen Ze stood behind her respectfully.

After everyone waited for a while, outer sect elder Yu Changming and two black-clad deacons from the law enforcement team walked in escorting a short, thin middle-aged man.

"Elders... I don't know what mistake I made..."

The short and thin middle-aged man looked at the elders with a look of horror as soon as he entered the hall.

All the elders ignored him, but all looked at Zhong Ying, the elder of the main peak.

Zhong Ying sighed softly, and then her eyes began to glow with gray light. It didn't take long for the panic on the face of the short and thin middle-aged man to disappear, replaced by confusion.

At this time Zhong Ying asked quietly: "Let me ask you, have you destroyed all the demon soldiers in the sect?"

"Ordinary magic soldiers have been destroyed... Supreme Grade... Supreme Grade magic soldiers... none."

The short, thin middle-aged man replied hesitantly.

"Where are those Supreme Grade magic soldiers?"

Zhong Ying asked again.

"Give it...to the inner gate deacon Juan...he gave me...fifty spiritual stones for each piece."

The short, thin middle-aged man replied.

Upon hearing the name Juan, the faces of all the elders became a little ugly.

Huan is an old man in the sect and is the same generation as them. However, due to limited qualifications, his cultivation has been stuck at the Foundation Building stage...

I didn't expect him to do such a thing.

"How long have you been doing this? How many Supreme Grade magic soldiers have you given him in total?"

Zhong Ying asked again.

"Two...two years, I gave him one hundred and twenty items..."

At this point, the short, thin middle-aged man suddenly came back to his senses.

Looking at the faces of the elders, he suddenly realized what had happened, and his expression instantly became extremely desperate.

At the same time, Yu Changming left the hall with the two deacons.

…

After a while, Yu Changming personally escorted a gray-haired old man in.

The old man's eyes were lifeless and his face was ashen. As soon as he walked into the hall, he knelt down on the ground with a thud.

Zhong Ying looked sad when she saw this.

"Alas...Junior Brother Hu, why is this so?"

"Senior Sister Zhong... I don't have much life left, so I want to try my best again, so I made such a big mistake."

Juan murmured.

"Look up at me."

Zhong Ying said coldly.

Huan subconsciously raised his head after hearing this, and happened to meet Zhong Ying's gray eyes. In an instant, his expression became confused.

"Do you have any connection with those magic gates?"

"No...no."

Juan answered.

"Then how did you come up with the idea of ​​selling the captured demon soldiers from the sect to demon cultivators?"

Zhong Ying asked again.

"When You Qing was... in the sect, I accidentally discovered that... he sold the captured magic weapons to magic cultivators... so I came up with this idea, and then I found him... and the two of us hit it off. , expanded this business..."

Juan replied slowly.

"Have you done anything else to betray the sect?"

Zhong Ying's tone suddenly became much more severe.

"No...no."

Juan answered.

Zhong Ying let out a breath after hearing this, and the gray light in his eyes gradually dissipated.

Then she glanced at Li Qingping who was sitting quietly aside.

Li Qingping didn't react at all and still sat quietly.

By this time Juan was back to normal.

Compared to the short, thin middle-aged man, he was obviously much calmer, and seemed to have completely resigned himself to his fate.

…

"There's something wrong with this Juan..."

Chen Ze, who had been standing behind Li Qingping, frowned slightly as he watched this scene.

There was nothing wrong with the short, thin middle-aged man, but this Juan secretly practiced a secret technique called forgetfulness.

This is a kind of secret brainwashing technique of demonic thinking. If you practice it to an advanced level, you can even tamper with your own memory in a short period of time.

in other words……

What Juan said is probably false.

And if what he said is false, then the real situation should be that he has contact with the Demon Dao Sect, and he may have completely betrayed Azure Sun Sect...

"Nine times out of ten, this person has companions in the sect...and he has some important information in the hands of his companions. Otherwise, he would not have used the forgetfulness technique to tamper with his memory even though he knew he was going to die."

Chen Ze secretly thought in his heart.

This gave him a sense of crisis.

Although those who work in this industry are very professional, they will not spend all day thinking about revenge for their companions just because something happened to them.

But no matter what...he has finally entered people's sight.

Fortunately, he has completed the assessment task and is about to enter the inner gate.

As long as he enters the inner door, he will quickly Foundation Building, and his life-saving ability will be greatly improved by then.

"Take some time to go through everyone in the sect and see if anyone else has practiced this oblivion technique. If anything is discovered, I can be on guard in advance."

Chen Ze decided secretly in his heart.

…

"Because you have done a lot for the sect over the years, I won't take action personally. You can just take the decision on your own."

Zhong Ying looked at Huan and said softly.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Zhong!"

Juan kowtowed in thanks, and then suddenly slapped his forehead with a palm.

boom!

With a crisp sound, his head exploded instantly, and the headless body fell in front of Zhong Ying with a thud.

The short, thin middle-aged man next to him looked extremely horrified when he saw this, but Zhong Ying didn't give him a chance and killed him on the spot with a casual blow.

After both of them were dead, Zhong Ying looked at Yu Changming.

"Junior Brother Yu, go check who has been close to Juan in recent years, and send someone to visit Youjia by the way."

"Um."

Yu Changming agreed.

It was obvious that although she used secret techniques to make Juan say what he just said, Senior Sister Zhong did not completely believe it.

"Also, don't spread this matter to the outside world. Just say that Juan died at the hands of the demon cultivator."

After Zhong Ying said this, she subconsciously glanced at Chen Ze who was standing in the corner.

Chen Ze immediately said respectfully: "This disciple will never spread the word to others."

Azure Sun Sect has a protection mechanism for those who have committed crimes, so many things are kept secret.

But he knew very well... This actually didn't make much sense.

He and Junior Sister Xu went to Youjia to do a mission, but when they came back, Youjia was destroyed...

If Juan really has a companion, a little research will tell that this matter is closely related to the two of them.

Zhong Ying nodded and praised: "Oh, you are such a perceptive boy. No wonder you can find important clues from the clues."

"It's all taught well by Master!"

Chen Ze replied reflexively, while not forgetting to look at Li Qingping with gratitude on his face.

Zhong Ying smiled faintly and said: "You have made great contributions to the sect this time. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

Chen Ze thought for a while and then replied: "Elder Zhong, the disciple often misses his family when he is practicing hard in the sect. I wonder if the sect can allow the disciple's family to move to Qingyang Town down the mountain, and arrange some simple errands to support daily cultivation. ?”

Zhong Ying agreed without even thinking about it.

"Okay, after you officially enter the inner gate in a few days, I will ask Elder Yu to make arrangements for you."

Chen Ze was overjoyed when he heard this.

Although entering the inner gate can also let the sect arrange errands for the family, it is limited to arranging errands. It is still difficult to move to Qingyang Town.

It was precisely because of this that he decided to use this opportunity to make this request.

The main reason why I want to move my family to Qingyang Town is because Qingyang Town is safe enough.

First of all, Qingyang Town is at the foot of the Azure Sun Sect Mountain, so there is no possibility of a demonic cultivator.

Secondly, Qingyang Town is very close to Azure Sun Sect. Even if something happens, as long as a distress signal is sent out, the powerful Azure Sun Sect will be there in an instant.

The family moved to Qingyang Town, and he had a job that could steadily earn spiritual stones, so he had no worries about the family at all.

The family has no worries, and now that he has contributed enough points, he can stay at Rising Cloud Peak to practice for a long time.

"Thank you, Elder Zhong, for helping me!"

Chen Ze immediately handed over his hand and thanked him.

"Haha, you have made a great contribution, and you deserve to be rewarded. Okay, if you have nothing to do, please step aside."

Zhong Ying replied calmly.

Chen Ze did not leave immediately, but first said to Li Qingping: "Master, I have to leave first."

"Um."

Li Qingping nodded slightly.

Seeing the master nodding, Chen Ze said to the elders: "Disciple, please retire."

After that, he turned and left the hall.

…

After Chen Ze left, Zhong Ying looked at Li Qingping and sighed softly.

"Qingping, the sect leader has asked you to establish your own peak, haven't you given up yet?"

Li Qingping raised his head when he heard this, looking quite unhappy.

"Uncle Zhong, what do you mean?"

Zhong Ying looked at the direction Chen Ze left and said meaningfully: "Your disciple has entered the ninth level of Qi Refining in one year and is about to enter the inner gate. He can achieve such an achievement. You must have spent a lot of time on him." Are you thinking?"

Upon hearing this, all the elders present looked at Li Qingping meaningfully.

They all know very well that Li Qingping has always been resentful about the fact that Senior Brother Yuan usurped her father's position as the Peak Master of Heaven-Connecting Peak.

It is unlikely that Li Qingping will regain his place in a short period of time by relying on his own strength.

But Li Qingping can find his place elsewhere.

For example, in terms of cultivating disciples.

As long as she trains a disciple and surpasses Senior Brother Yuan's few proud disciples, Senior Brother Yuan will feel a little embarrassed.

After all, Heaven-Connecting Peak is recognized as the strongest peak and recruits the most talented disciples, while Rising Cloud Peak just picked up a random disciple.

Li Qingping also understood the meaning of Zhong Ying's words at this time.

To be honest, she did think about letting Chen Ze participate in the Heaven-Connecting Peak Competition, then sweep the Heaven-Connecting Peak and slap Yuan Hongneng in the face.

But the problem is that I was rejected by that kid.

"Huh, I'm just teaching him normally!"

Li Qingping snorted and defended.

All the elders looked disbelieving when they heard this.

If you recruit a random disciple and teach him normally, can you get the first place in the Demon Slayer Trial? Can you step into the ninth floor of Qi Refining in one year, complete the task and enter the inner gate, and even achieve great achievements along the way?

impossible! Absolutely impossible!

"Master Nephew Li, we can understand your thoughts, but we still have to advise you that it is not advisable to encourage the growth of young people. Relying on external forces to improve your cultivation in a short period of time will only overdraw your potential..."

Zhong Ying persuaded him earnestly.

Li Qingping cursed secretly when he heard this.

These old guys!

Do you really think she needs to rely on her apprentice to find a place?

Wait!

It won't be long before she personally avenges her father's defeat!

Although she was thinking so in her heart, she did not argue too much, but snorted coldly:

"Hmph, I know how to teach my disciples. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

As soon as she finished speaking, her figure flashed and disappeared directly from where she was.

All the elders in the hall looked at each other in disbelief, and then sighed in unison.

…

Outside the main hall, Chen Ze waited quietly.

Not long after, Li Qingping appeared in front of him.

"Let's go back."

Li Qingping said coldly.

Seeing that the master was a little unhappy, Chen Ze didn't dare to say anything, so he immediately responded and followed.

While walking, Li Qingping suddenly stopped.

Chen Ze was startled and almost hit her.

"What's wrong, Master?"

He asked tentatively in a low voice.

Li Qingping turned around, glanced at Chen Ze with a frown, then took out two wind-controlling charms from the storage ring and threw them to Chen Ze, and then said word by word:

"Be careful in the future, kid! Don't die! At least don't die within a year!"

After saying that, she turned around and continued walking forward.

There is no way, everyone believes that she has carefully cultivated this disciple, and is planning to rely on this disciple to regain her position...

If this disciple died midway, wouldn't she become a joke?
