The one Ming Shu was talking to was precisely Yang Wan, whose face had paled .
She remembered that the Host also encountered this plot of being framed . No one acted as her witness and the Host defended herself in vain . At last she was punished to kneel and ponder over her mistakes .
But Ming Shu was very lucky . She had a fight yesterday and changed her clothes . So Yang Wan’s testimony was full of loopholes .
“I didn’t . ” Yang Wan was frightened and waved her hands . “I indeed gave you the Dan medicines . If you stole them, just hand them over quickly, Xuan Ji, don’t get me involved . ”
Ming Shu wished she could help her . “But you didn’t even describe my clothes right . Is it that you lost your memory, or was I sleepwalking?”
She looked at the servant disciples not far away and asked smilingly, “What I was wearing yesterday, you should remember, right?”
The servant disciples shrank back . They were a little afraid of Ming Shu now .
Elder Hong asked, “What did Xuan Ji wear yesterday?”
Since the deacon elder asked, they had to answer . “A cyan dress . Xuan Ji… brawled yesterday and dirtied the Taoist robe . ”
Ming Shu looked at Yang Wan . “Next time remember to do enough work before you frame others . ”
Yang Wan didn’t expect that Ming Shu would change her clothes coincidentally, so she changed her excuse in a hurry . “I was wrong, yes, she was wearing a cyan dress . ”
Ming Shu raised her eyebrows . “Oh? Then tell me about the flowers on my dress?”
“I… I don’t remember . ”
Facing such an obvious change, Elder Hong was not stupid enough to believe it, so he waved his hand . “That’s enough, Yang Wan, you come to the Discipline Hall with me, I will figure this out . ”
“What’s the problem here?”
A slightly hoarse voice sounded . A man in a dark blue Taoist robe stood under the wall and was looking this way casually .
He was wearing a half-faced silver mask, in a slightly odd shape, only showing his chin and lips .
His entire body was shrouded in a lazy air . He just leaned against the pillar as if he was really weak .
“Master . ”
Elder Hong and Elder Xu bowed to salute at the same time, and their attitude was extremely respectful .
The other disciples didn’t know this man .
But they followed the two elders and said, “Master . ”
Ming Shu was not one of them, of course . The man also didn’t seem to care that someone didn’t salute him, and didn’t even look at Ming Shu .
He looked at Elder Hong and asked in a casual tone, “I heard you quarrelling from down the hill, what’s this about?”
Elder Hong and Elder Xu didn’t know why this master who barely showed up suddenly appeared here . They became a bit nervous .
“Master, it’s just a little problem . ” Elder Hong explained the matter to the man .
“Oh, I see . ” The man’s tone was still casual . The others all wondered what he meant by that .
He put his hand on the mask and seemed to think . Elder Hong and Elder Xu didn’t dare to disturb him, so the court suddenly became extremely quiet .
After quite a while, the man lifted his hand . A faint glow started overflowing from his fingertips, and a beam of thin light soared to the sky, disappearing into the clouds with a long, dragging tail .
Everyone was stunned, unsure of what he was doing .
Then, suddenly, from above the clouds rained countless golden lights . They floated in the sky as if weaving a scene of a meteor shower over their heads, dreamy and beautiful .
Then the lights gradually disappeared .
It was like they had never been real .
“Master, what did you see?” Elder Hong asked carefully .
The others were stunned again . What did he see?
What had happened just now?
The man pointed at several people with his beautiful fingers . “Her, her, him, and him, they all breathe evidence of Dan medicine . As to who did it, you should find it out yourself . ”
Among the people he pointed at, in addition to Yang Wan and the disciple who came to report, there was also another boy and a girl . Yun Yao was the girl . She looked a bit wronged, as if she didn’t know why she was mentioned .
“Master, what about Xuan Ji?” Elder Xu asked in an unconvinced tone .
“Xuan Ji?” The man raised his voice in question .
Elder Xu thought the man didn’t know who Xuan Ji was, so he pointed to Ming Shu immediately .
The man followed his finger . But he shook his head after a moment . “No . ”
He yawned . “I’m leaving . ”
Elder Xu was still very doubtful, but he didn’t dare to question the man . “Yes, Master . ”
The man then disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if he had never appeared at all .
“Yun Yao, Zhao Feng, you two come to the Discipline Hall as well . ” Elder Hong called the roll .
Everyone started talking .
Being called out like this in front of so many people, Yun Yao’s face felt hot, and she walked out of the crowd with her head lowered .
But that man called Zhao Feng looked restless and moved slowly .
Since the master said there was no sign of Dan medicine in Ming Shu, Elder Xu had no excuse to detain her . But he still insisted that Ming Shu would be punished separately for stealing techniques and brawling .
Of course, Ming Shu didn’t care about this at all .
Elder Hong raised his voice . “All right, all of you go back to your positions . You only have one year . Then, if you can’t pass the Nine Zigzag Mountain Array and get into the internal division, you’ll have to wait for another three years to get the chance . I hope you can understand that time is precious . ”
“Yes, Elder!”
After Elder Hong and Elder Xu left, everyone finally relaxed .
“Who was that master just now?”
“I don’t know…”
“The way he spoke was attractive . I thought masters were all the same age as my father’s generation . Who’d have thought there’s such a young and good-looking master . ”
Ming Shu was somewhat speechless . The man was wearing a mask, how could they tell he was good-looking? What if the face under the mask was scary?
“I will see him when I get into the internal division . Ahhhh, I have to practice hard!”
“Let’s go cultivate now . ”
Everyone scattered .
Ming Shu walked back to her room .
The blue Taoist robe…
He should be a master from Lihun Peak .
There were a total of seven peaks in the Yin Sect, simply referred to as the Seven Peaks . On the day they went into the Nine Zigzag Mountain Array, it would be decided which peak the internal disciples would enter .
The main peak was Wuying Peak . It was where the sect leader lived and generally wouldn’t take disciples . The resident population on this peak developed in a very stable parallel line .
The second peak was Chihuo Peak, which mainly taught swordsmanship . It was the image ambassador of the Yin Sect and the number of disciples taken in each year rose in a curve .
The third peak was Jinlan Peak, focused on tactical array formation . This world valued array formations very much, so there were also a lot of disciples on Jinlan Peak .
The fourth peak was Xingxiang Peak, mainly teaching deduction, which was also known as fortune-telling . This skill depended on talent, so the disciples were not many, and they could take only one or two disciples each year .
The fifth peak was Lihun Peak, which mainly taught how to refine Dan medicine . The techniques of refining Dan medicine were fading away, so Lihun Peak was now a rare and precious species in the Yin Sect . Each disciple on Lihun Peak was treated like a cherished panda .
The sixth peak was Yanyue Peak, where Jun Qing lived . That’s right, the lord male protagonist .
The seventh peak was Lingjian Peak, where disciples received swords . But this peak had been closed for almost a hundred years . There was no peak leader and also no disciples .
The Taoist robe for each peak was different .
The blue Taoist robe designated Lihun Peak . And that man should be the peak leader of Lihun Peak: Yan Yin .
Ming Shu chewed two mouthfuls of a steamed bun, and she forgot all these chores immediately .
Soon the truth of the missing Dan medicine issue came to light .
Yang Wan lost the Dan medicines by herself . Fearing that she would be punished, she fabricated a scheme against Ming Shu .
Finally those Dan medicines were seized from Zhao Feng . Yun Yao just happened to have a conversation with Zhao Feng and inadvertently caught the breath of Dan medicine .
Zhao Feng shouted that he was innocent .
But he was just caught with the stolen goods . So it was useless for him to deny it, and he was finally driven out of the sect .
Yang Wan was punished severely .
Ming Shu found that Yun Yao was relieved after Zhao Feng was driven away .
Chut , she was not right in the head .
