"Master knew that the two elders Wu Xiu and Qi Kun were dealing with Lin Bai, but he didn't stop him. This is extremely inconsistent with Master's status in Tianshui Sect!"
"If word spreads, others will say that Master is narrow-minded, petty-minded, and bends the law for personal gain!"
Zhou Xinjun said with some sadness: "The third junior brother is dead. I believe that even if the third junior brother is still alive, he will not be willing to see the master disregarding the sect's laws for him!"
The great elder had a strong look of exhaustion on his face. He took a deep breath and looked up to the sky with a long sigh!
Just at this time.
A warrior came outside the island and respectfully shouted: "To the great elder, the sect leader has issued an order, please go to Fushui Palace immediately to discuss important matters!"
"I know." The great elder responded, and the warrior bowed far away, turned around and left.
The Great Elder calmed down his emotions and said: "You have been injured during your trip to the Demon Refining Tower. It's a good idea to heal your wounds on the island. Later I will ask someone to send you some healing elixirs!"
"You don't have to worry about Lin Bai's affairs anymore!"
Seeing the great elder about to leave, Zhou Xinjun looked painful and shouted: "Master! It's not that I shouldn't care about Lin Bai's matters, it's that you shouldn't care about Lin Bai's matters!"
The great elder stopped when he heard the words and his pupils shrank.
Zhou Xinjun clenched his fists and said earnestly: "Master dedicated his whole life to the sect until his death. He worked hard for the sect all his life and never complained. He is quite famous among the disciples and elders of the sect!"
"Both the previous sect master and the current sect master have great trust in the master!"
"The sect regards you as its cornerstone, and the disciples regard you as their belief!"
"You have devoted your whole life to the sect. I don't want to see you lose your security in the evening and be charged with betraying the sect and leaving the Tao because of the affairs of the third junior brother!"
The elder's eyebrows stood up when he heard this, he turned around and scolded me coldly: "Are you trying to teach me a lesson? Mu Huaqing is your third junior brother and my disciple. Now that he is dead, my teacher wants to avenge him. Why?"
Is there anything wrong?"
"Xinjun, if one day you die in the hands of others, my teacher will do his best to avenge you!"
The great elder suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly.
"Master, please stop interfering and let me go!" Zhou Xinjun hesitated and said.
"It's a good thing that you were born on the island to heal your wounds, don't go out!" After saying that, the great elder stepped out of the island.
…
Zhou Xinjun watched the great elder walk out of the island with despair, because he had already seen that the master had been completely blinded by hatred.
He knew clearly that Wu Xiu and Qi Kun were secretly dealing with Lin Bai, but he didn't care about it, which was beyond the responsibility and demeanor of the great elder.
If the master is allowed to make one wrong step and continue the wrong step, even if he eventually avenges Mu Huaqing, the master will fall into a situation that is beyond redemption.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Xinjun left the island with a pale face and came to the hinterland of Tianshui Sect's Tianhe Islands, walking into a Taoist realm shrouded in clouds and mist all year round.
This island has high mountains and dense forests, and white mist covers the sky.
The white fog on the island is thick but not dense, dense but not dense. Walking in the white fog, not only does not have that heavy sense of oppression, but it gives you a feeling of relaxation and joy.
It's like a paradise in the cave, an island of immortals.
As soon as Zhou Xinjun walked into it, he heard a gentle laughter coming from inside: "Haha, Second Junior Brother, why do you have time to come to my place today?"
"Looking at the appearance of the second junior brother, it looks like he had a big fight with someone, and his face doesn't look good. He must have lost the battle, right?"
"Is it possible that the second junior brother came here to ask my brother to avenge you?"
Hearing the voice, Zhou Xinjun looked sad and shook his head slightly.
The person who spoke was none other than Zhou Xinjun’s senior brother, named Bai Yifei.
The chief disciple under the Grand Elder and one of the six candidates for the Holy Son of Tianshui Sect.
Judging from the current six candidates for the Holy Son of Tianshui Sect, Bai Yifei and Lin Bai have the best chance of becoming the Holy Son. The rest, whether it is Li Juenian, Yi Zien, Tang Wei, and Li Yuanzong, are among these two.
There was no light in front of me.
"Senior Brother, the third junior brother is dead." Zhou Xinjun was silent for a while, and said with a heavy tone of exhaustion in his voice.
After Zhou Xinjun's voice was heard, Bai Yifei's response was not heard for a long time.
After a moment, a young man with an imposing appearance walked out of the white mist in front of Zhou Xinjun.
This man has sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, a face crowned like jade, his robes are clean and tidy and not stained by dust, and his temperament is extraordinary and refined, like an immortal.
He is Bai Yifei.
Bai Yifei has been in seclusion longer than Zhou Xinjun and Mu Huaqing.
With Bai Yifei's current cultivation strength, even if he has not broken through to the Taiyi Daoguo realm, he is not far behind.
"Tell me slowly, what's going on?" Bai Yifei asked with a gloomy expression.
After hearing the news of Mu Huaqing's death, Bai Yifei looked obviously unhappy and stopped teasing Zhou Xinjun.
Zhou Xinjun sighed softly and slowly told the whole story.
As well as Li Yuanzong's accusation that Lin Bai killed Mu Huaqing, and Lin Bai's defense of himself.
After hearing this, Bai Yifei frowned and said, "This matter... If there is any doubt, it is really doubtful. But if there is no doubt, there is no doubt at all!"
"With the testimony of my junior brother Li Yuanzong and the presence of witnesses and physical evidence, Lin Bai is the murderer!"
"But based on the second junior brother's judgment of Lin Bai in the Demon Refining Tower, this man is a swordsman who would rather break than bend. He will not deny the people he has killed, nor will he bear the blame for those he has not killed!
"
Zhou Xinjun said: "Yes, Senior Brother, now the sect has asked Elder Li Zai'en to investigate the matter personally. But before the matter comes to light, Master has already insisted that it was Lin Bai who killed Junior Brother Mu Huaqing!"
"And in order to avenge Junior Brother Mu Huaqing, Master actually..."
Bai Yifei looked at Zhou Xinjun and asked, "What did master do?"
Zhou Xinjun said: "Master knew that Wu Xiu and Qi Kun were going to deal with Lin Bai. He knew it clearly, but he didn't stop them. This has violated the responsibilities and demeanor of the great elder!"
"I'm worried that if Master continues like this, he will be dazzled by hatred. I'm afraid that Master will fall into a place of eternal destruction in the future!"
"That's why I came here this time to ask Senior Brother to come out of seclusion and give advice to Master!"
After Bai Yifei listened, an intriguing smile appeared on his lips, his eyes were downcast and deep, as if he was thinking about something.
Zhou Xinjun did not disturb Bai Yifei and waited quietly aside.
"Besides Lin Bai defending himself, what else did he say?" Bai Yifei asked.
Zhou Xinjun said: "He said... the person who killed Junior Brother Mu Huaqing was not him, but Junior Brother Li Yuanzong!"
Hearing this, Bai Yifei sneered: "Absurd! Humph, this Lin Bai wants to excuse himself, but he won't find a suitable reason for himself!"
"Would Junior Brother kill Third Junior Brother? Even a three-year-old wouldn't believe such a thing!"
"It seems that the death of Lin Bai and the third junior brother cannot be escaped from the relationship!"
Bai Yifei said coldly: "Second Junior Brother, you don't have to worry about this anymore, I will handle Lin Bai!"
"Elder brother, do you want to wait for the sect's investigation results to come out before making any plans?" Zhou Xinjun said hesitantly when he heard that Bai Yifei was about to take action against Lin Bai.
Bai Yifei snorted coldly: "Now that Lin Bai is a popular figure in the sect, even if Lin Bai kills his third junior brother, the sect will try its best to excuse him!"
"Waiting for the results of the sect's investigation to come out? When will the results of the sect's investigation come out? Is it one year later, or ten years later? Or a hundred years later?"
"What if the sect wants to defend Lin Bai and keeps delaying the investigation results? Are we just going to watch the third junior brother die in silence?"
Bai Yifei asked several questions in succession, leaving Zhou Xinjun speechless.
"Then Senior Brother...what are you going to do?" Zhou Xinjun asked.
