This voice is both familiar and unfamiliar.
The elder who was invited to testify was startled, stood up abruptly, and looked outside the door.
Zhou Yinru was also dumbfounded.
This is... how is it possible? How did he come
Lu Mingshu survived the desperate situation, opened his eyes in disbelief, and looked towards the door.
Tall figure, shabby commoner clothes, slovenly appearance. Although the dress is unfamiliar, everyone is very familiar with this face.
"Senior Brother Liu!" A young elder pointed at the door and cried out in surprise.
Liu Jizhen stepped into the hall, his eyes slowly swept over the people in the hall.
The two elders, Wen Zhangyuan, Fu Shangqing, and Zhou Yinru, finally landed on Lu Mingshu.
"Let her go," he said.
The two Fusion Realm disciples were stunned, and they let go of their hands by coincidence.
This feeling is very strange, obviously his voice is not loud, and he doesn't have the power to show off, but in front of him, he can't help but choose to obey.
Even Zhou Yinru lost her momentum.
But she quickly raised her head, and faced the man in front of her with a haughty attitude: "Senior Brother Liu, you are not guarding Tongtian Pavilion in Bixi Valley, why are you here?"
Liu Jizhen said indifferently: "You want to abolish my apprentice and expel her from the school, shouldn't I show up?"
Zhou Yinru snorted: "We have already agreed on this matter. She colluded with outsiders and caused the master to lose such treasures as the earth veins and spiritual roots. This is unforgivable. For the sake of her youth and ignorance, she will be punished lightly and expelled from the master. Come on. Brother Liu, do you have any objections?"
"Of course there are." Liu Jizhen took two steps forward, and bowed to Fu Shangqing, who was headed up, "Liu Jizhen, head of the Tongtian Pavilion, has met the head."
When Fu Shangqing started, Liu Jizhen was already useless, and the two had never met formally. However, in the face of this former 15th generation senior brother, who is known as a martial arts genius who is rare in a hundred years, even though he is already the head of the sect, Fu Shangqing did not dare to make a big deal, and stood up to return the gift.
After meeting Fu Shangqing, Liu Jizhen shifted his gaze to Wen Shijie.
"Uncle Wen, I haven't seen you for many years, but I still look good."
Wen Shijie laughed twice: "Where is it?" After a pause, he sighed again: "Nephew Liu, everything is fate, you have to look away, look at you, why bother to make yourself like this?"
Liu Jizhen smiled faintly: "What Uncle Wen said is that looking back on the past twelve years, I'm in a daze, and it's really because I wanted to go wrong."
Unexpectedly, he would answer such a sentence, Wen Shijie was taken aback.
Liu Jizhen didn't bother, and immediately changed the subject: "Speaking of which, the head of the Jingyiyuan, the teacher and nephew have also worked for a few days, and I clearly remember one of the regulations."
He looked at a few people, and said with a smile: "Any disciple who has a teacher must be expelled by his teacher. If there is no teacher, the master can do it for him." The smile was put away, and the coldness in his eyes was slightly cold. Why didn't you tell me?"
There was silence in the hall, and a needle could be heard.
Liu Jizhen was dressed in commoner clothes and described as unruly, but his back was straight, his eyes were calm, and he stood in the hall with his hands behind his back, tall and stalwart.
Lu Mingshu's tears welled up all at once.
Zhou Yinru came back to her senses in shock, and when she realized that her aura had been robbed, she immediately became angry. Forget it in the past, but now Liu Jizhen is just a useless person, how can she be frightened by him
"Senior brother Liu." She said coldly, "The rules of the family are greater than the orders of the master. Since you have been the head of the Jingyi Academy, you don't understand this truth? Zhibao, we spared her life because we were merciful. This verdict came from the head of the Jingyi Academy, with the head present and two elders witnessing it, do you still want to overturn it?"
Liu Jizhen smiled slightly: "If you want to expel my apprentice from the school, of course you have to persuade me as the master. Junior sister Tuesday, you say that she colluded with outsiders, do you have evidence?"
To Lu Mingshu, Zhou Yinru could throw a dagger domineeringly, saying it was evidence. But facing Liu Jizhen, she felt a little guilty.
Even if his meridians are cut off and his profound strength is completely severed, Zhou Yinru knew from birth that Liu Ji is really the master of fifteen generations of disciples, a martial arts genius who is hard to come by in a hundred years, and the undisputed number one master of his generation. After many years of prestige, even though he knew that he was already a useless person, there was still a trace of fear in his heart.
What's more, Liu Jizhen has never only had force, he has a meticulous mind, and during his time in charge of the Jingyiyuan, he never made any omissions, and the whole Jiuyao Palace was convinced.
However, she had to show evidence. Zhou Yinru gritted her teeth, and took out the dagger: "This dagger is a high-grade mysterious weapon, and it has the imprint of Zhongzhou, so it is not Lu Mingshu's. She fell into the canyon, disappeared for no reason, and appeared near the spiritual land for no reason. There are other people's things, such a variety, it is a coincidence, who can believe it?"
Liu Jizhen took the dagger, flicked it lightly, heard the crisp sound of "Qing" from the body of the dagger, and asked with a smile: "So?"
"So, she must be the one who led the outsiders into the beast cave and stole the spiritual roots of the earth veins!"
Liu Jizhen sighed: "Junior Sister Tuesday, the so-called deduction requires an absolutely clear cause and effect. Just relying on the words 'too coincidental' is not enough to convince the public."
Zhou Yinru sneered: "Senior brother Liu, you're protecting yourself too much by saying that. Are you going to deny that Lu Mingshu never came into contact with that infiltrator?"
"It's too early to draw conclusions now." Liu Jizhen said, "Since Junior Sister Tuesday insists on this, let's walk through it. Let's start with the disappearance of my disciple Mingshu. Why did she disappear?"
Zhou Yinru said: "Being hunted down by the phantom, I rolled down the canyon."
Liu Jizhen nodded: "Let's take this matter apart and have a look." He turned around, "Mingshu."
Lu Mingshu lowered his head and wiped away the tears on his face: "The apprentice is here."
"Tell me what happened."
"Yes." The turbulent mood gradually calmed down, and Lu Mingshu talked about the day's events one by one, including how Teacher Zuo assigned tasks and the team's quarrel.
Liu Jizhen looked at Wen Shijie: "Uncle Wen, I don't know if what my apprentice said is different from what the witness you found said? If there is anything wrong, you can call in to confront the court."
Wen Shijie moved his lips and shook his head: "No, let's continue."
Some methods can be used in front of Lu Mingshu, but they cannot be used in front of Liu Jizhen.
"Okay. Junior sister on Tuesday thinks this is too coincidental, right?"
"That's right!" Zhou Yinru said coldly, "Why did the phantom appear so coincidentally? Why did she have the guts to lure the phantom away? How could she just roll down the canyon after traveling more than ten miles?"
Liu Jizhen smiled: "So, on Tuesday, Junior Sister thinks that someone deliberately released the phantom so that my apprentice could leave the team, and cause an accident by the way, which would attract Jiuyao Palace to investigate?"
Zhou Yinru opened her mouth, but almost didn't answer yes. Liu Jizhen directly used her thinking and deduced it, and thus came to a conclusion that was obviously problematic. How could she answer it
After a moment of silence, Liu Jizhen's indifferent voice sounded again: "Since Junior Sister Zhou also thinks this inference is unreasonable, can I give up the premeditated one I thought before?"
