Taiping Inn

Lu Yanbing came out of Tiangang Hall and headed for Bajing Courtyard. She did not encounter any setbacks along the way and arrived at the hall smoothly.

Li Daoxu said that it was a meeting, but in fact, there was no substantial progress in the peace talks. Everyone was a little absent-minded. From time to time, someone looked outside the door. When Lu Yanbing appeared, all eyes fell on her.

Lu Yanbing was startled and stopped outside the threshold. For a moment, she didn't know whether to go in or out.

Finally, Li Daoxu said, "Come in." Lu Yanbing walked into the main hall, and was not in a hurry to take a seat. Instead, she took out the two large envelopes that she had sealed with wax.

Li Daoxu asked, "Are those people's confessions in here?"

"That's right." Lu Yanbing held up the two envelopes with both hands, "Please present them to Master for review."

Li Daoxu did not answer immediately, and the others held their breath. The whole hall was surprisingly silent.

Li Yuanying and Gu Yusheng exchanged glances again, a little anxious.

Previously, they used the excuse of meeting to hold Zhang Haishi and Li Feiyan back, so that Zhang Haishi and Li Feiyan could not help Li Xuandu out of trouble, but they were also tied here. When Lu Yanbing interrogated Li Jinfeng and others, they could not do anything and could only wait for the result quietly.

Now, the result is here.

It is true that Lu Yanbing is a fence-sitter, but at this time, she will never be a fence-sitter again. She must choose one side. He had the opportunity to win over Lu Yanbing, but after several considerations, he still chose Li Taiyi. Li Yuanying can only make so many promises. If he gives one, he can't give another. If he wins over Li Taiyi, he can't win over Lu Yanbing. So it is reasonable for Lu Yanbing to stand on Li Xuandu's side.

Li Yuanying looked at Lu Yanbing, but Lu Yanbing didn't look at him. She just lowered her head and waited for Li Daoxu to let her hand over the confession in her hand.

Lu Yanbing knew that Li Yuanying was looking at her, and she felt happy. After Li Xuandu fell from power, Li Yuanying became the leader. Lu Yanbing had thought about joining Li Yuanying. At the beginning, Li Yuanying accepted her. However, Lu Yanbing soon found that Li Yuanying did not take her seriously. He only praised her verbally without any actual actions. Later, when Lu Yanbing was humiliated by Li Taiyi, Li Yuanying did not help her. She realized that she wanted to join him, but Li Yuanying did not treat her as a family member.

On the other hand, Zhang Haishi and Li Xuandu were really different. Even though she had been swaying with the wind, neither of them cared about her. Lu Yanbing understood that this was not to treat her with respect. In the end, he still treated her as a child. But a child is better than an outsider, right? People are all made of flesh and blood. In addition to interests, they also have to talk about feelings and likes and dislikes. After Li Xuandu came back, she would of course stand on Li Xuandu's side. In addition to her own future, she also wanted to give Li Yuanying a good look. Don't you think Li Taiyi is powerful? Then I will show you who is more powerful. In this matter, no matter how high Li Taiyi's talent and cultivation are, as long as he is not higher than the sky and the old master, it is all in vain.

Li Daoxu looked at Lu Yanbing and asked, "Have they all confessed? Is there any outsider instructing them?"

"To reply to Master, they all confessed." Lu Yanbing said respectfully, "There are indeed outsiders instructing, colluding inside and outside, intending to obstruct peace talks and destroy the unification of Taoism."

Everyone in the hall understood that this was the sword being drawn. Obviously, Lu Yanbing did not intend to make a small matter, but to make a big deal. The bigger the matter, the greater the guilt, and the more painful it would be when the sword fell.

Li Yuanying and Gu Yusheng were really nervous at this time, and their eyes all looked at Lu Yanbing.

Li Daoxu asked, "Who are they?"

Lu Yanbing did not answer directly, but said, "The people involved in this matter are all in the confession. Please Master, please look into it."

The air in the main hall seemed to freeze at this moment.

Li Daoxu slowly stood up from the main seat, came to Lu Yanbing, and took two envelopes from her.

Li Yuanying sat there and slowly closed his eyes, but his eyelids were still trembling slightly, showing that he was not calm at this time.

Li Xuandu, who was sitting opposite Li Yuanying, was calm and composed. His eyes looked up empty, as if he was in a trance. His eyes did not fall on any place, and his face did not show any expression.

Qin Su lowered her head and looked at the shoe tip sticking out of the skirt, as if it had nothing to do with her.

Zhang Haishi looked at Lu Yanbing, not hiding his relief and admiration, while Li Feiyan looked at Li Daoxu, observing the changes in Li Daoxu's expression. She was also the only one who dared to look directly at Li Daoxu.

Li Daoxu was quite tolerant of this woman who was both his junior and his wife's sister. Not only did he not show any displeasure, but he looked back at her and asked, "Ruoyan, in your opinion, should I read this confession?"

Li Feiyan said, "Why should I read it? Of course I should read it. Not only should I read it, but it would be best if I could circulate it to everyone present. If it is inconvenient for you, I, your junior sister, can read it for you."

After that, Li Feiyan really stood up and walked towards Li Daoxu.

Li Xuandu, Li Yuanying, Zhang Haishi, Li Daoshi, Lu Yanbing and others were all used to this scene. Gu Yusheng and Li Taiyi, who had never contacted Li Feiyan, were very surprised. They had never seen anyone dared to be so disrespectful to the old sect leader. , Gu Yusheng suddenly understood why after Li Feiyan was captured by the Great Heavenly Master, Li Daoxu never asked Zhengyi Sect for anyone. If she was Li Daoxu and had such a junior sister, she would probably make a similar decision. She also understood why Master Li was worried and was always helpless about this wife. This is the real young lady's temper, spoiled and domineering, and lawless.

At the same time, Gu Yusheng also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Since Li Feiyan said this, Li Daoxu would probably not read it. When did the old sect leader suffer from runs and coercion from others?

Seeing Li Feiyan coming towards him, Li Daoxue had to reach out and stop, and sighed: "I thought you could change your temper over the years, but it seemed that the country was easy to change your nature and it was difficult to change your nature."

Li Feiyan sat back in his seat and said, "Since my senior brother knows my temper, why bother asking me in one go."

"Okay, it's up to you." Li Daoxu smiled and actually agreed to Li Feiyan's proposal. This surprised Gu Yusheng. He felt that the old sect leader's thoughts were difficult to figure out, and then a vicious speculation emerged. Could it be that What kind of ulterior motives does the old sect leader have and this sister-in-law have? Otherwise, why would he be so indulging in Li Feiyan? But she thought again that there was no such possibility. If the two really had an affair, then Li Daoxu would not be indifferent after Li Feiyan was captured by Zhang Jingxiu. Thinking of this, she suddenly thought of a possibility that made her even more shocked. This was actually Li Daoxu's original intention. He just said it through Li Feiyan's reason, and this is why Li Daoxu didn't ask. The reason why others asked Li Feiyan was because Li Daoxu knew Li Feiyan's temperament well, and he was sure that Li Feiyan would definitely answer like this.

Gu Yusheng felt a great panic in his heart, his face gradually became pale, and his hands, whose backs were covered by his big sleeves, subconsciously clenched into fists.

Li Daoxu looked at the two envelopes, first handed over the envelope with Li Jinfeng's confession to Lu Yanbing, and then tore open the envelope with the confession of the four hall masters, only more than a hundred words, and scanned it, and even after reading it. .

After reading it, Li Daoxu had no expression on his face. He took the second envelope from Lu Yanbing and tore it open it. This time he had more confessions, but Li Daoxu still looked at it and finished reading it soon. There was no unexpected look on the side, only peace.

"Look at the heart." Li Daoxu suddenly called Li Yuanying.

Li Yuanying immediately stood up, "Disciple is here."

Li Daoxu raised the confession in his hand and asked, "Do you know who is involved in this place?"

Li Yuanying's heart had a bad premonition, and his face turned pale, "Disciple... I don't know."

Li Daoxu handed over the confession in his hand, "Then you can take a look and give me an explanation after reading it."

Li Yuanying took the confession and looked quickly, but it was only the first time that it shocked him. Then he became more and more frightened and his face became paler. When he finished reading it, his hands holding the confession began. Slight trembling.

Li Yuanying suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Daoxu, "Master... these... are all false words, slanderous words. In order to get rid of the crime, these people deliberately cling to each other, and I hope the master will clearly observe."

"No truth." Li Daoxu ignored it and glanced at Li Xuandu inadvertently. Li Xuandu sat there quietly, as if nothing had happened.

Li Daoxu said, "Take the confession to Zifu and listen to what he said."

Although Li Yuanying was reluctant, he had to walk to Li Xuandu and hand the confession to Li Xuandu, "Purple Mansion, please see."

Li Xuandu finally withdrew his gaze, as if he had just come back to his senses, took the confession, glanced a few times, and pondered without saying a word.

Li Xuandu asked, "Purple Mansion, why don't you speak?"

Li Xuandu replied: "I have an old grudge with my third senior brother. Since I have been involved in my third sister-in-law, I should not speak, otherwise I will be said to be avenging my private revenge."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes looked at Gu Yusheng, and Gu Yusheng's face turned even white, without any blood.

Li Xuandu also looked at Gu Yusheng and said, "San Sister-in-law, this is said, you are the mastermind behind the scenes, coercing Li Jinfeng, instructing the four masters of the hall, and colluding with Shangguan Wan, intending to frame me."

Gu Yusheng was also a little anxious and did not respond to Li Xuandu's words, but said to Li Daoxu urgently: "Old Master, this is a slander. It is clearly these people who deliberately rush to escape from their crimes. I am willing to do so with these people. Confronting the situation.”

Li Daoxu did not go to see her, but looked at Zhang Haishi and asked, "Sir, what do you think?"

Zhang Haishi said expressionlessly: "When I go back to the old sect leader, is he innocent and slandered? You can tell if you check it out."

Li Daoxu nodded, "Lord Li, take Gu Yusheng down. This matter will still be left to Bingyan, and the Lord Situ will handle it together."

Lu Yanbing was happy and replied loudly, "Yes."

Situ Xuanluo also stood up and responded, "As long as he follows the order of the old sect leader."

Gu Yusheng looked desperate, looking at Li Yuanying, "Ming Xin...Ming Xin..."

From beginning to end, Li Yuanying lowered his head and did not look at Gu Yusheng.

Master Li stood up and came to Gu Yusheng's side, and said in a deep voice: "Three Lady, please."
