Upon hearing this, Lin Buyan felt sick.
In his opinion, Lu Bei is a treacherous villain with greasy hair and powdered face, who bullies the weak and fears the strong, is greedy for money and lustful, and covets the beauty of his senior sister. Apart from the qualifications of being a qualified junior brother, he is useless and a complete scum in the cultivation world.
Even in the world of his junior apprentice brother, Lu Bei is at the bottom, far inferior to his lifelong enemy Mo Buxiu.
Because he disliked Lu Bei from the bottom of his heart, Lin Buyan refused all news about Lu Bei. He was annoyed even by hearing his name, so naturally he never investigated how Lu Bei was doing outside.
Now, Jing Ji suddenly told him that Lu Bei was doing very well outside, ignoring the national conditions of Wu Zhou, and unprecedentedly receiving two salaries from Huangji Sect and Xuanyin Division, taking bribes and bullying the locals, living a happy life as he wished.
The most outrageous thing is that such a scum actually got involved in the royal family and had an unclear relationship with the current emperor's sister.
How ridiculous! Shouldn't the princess be pure and innocent? Why would she commit suicide for no reason
When Lin Buyan thought of his junior fellow apprentice hugging the eldest princess and pointing at the emperor and calling him brother, he felt extremely sad. This was even more painful than killing him.
It’s only been a year, how did this kid climb so high
How could he
Even God’s illegitimate child cannot be so blatant!
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Lin Buyan wiped the tea from his mouth and refused in a hoarse voice: "I don't believe it, Mr. Jing, you can't fool me! No, you can't fool me!"
Because Master Lin was too grief-stricken, his whole demeanor changed drastically, he even became a little insane, and even ignored his image of being a gentleman in front of people but a villain behind their backs, and he no longer wanted to act.
Jing Ji saw it all and thought to himself that the information was true. Lin Buyan and Mo Buxiu had a personal grudge and were narrow-minded enough to extend their resentment to the next generation. Lu Bei's journey back to the mountain was quite difficult. If Lu Buwang had not intervened, he would still be digging for food outside like a wild dog.
Regardless of the fact that this wild dog had dug up gold, he was already capable enough and had the qualifications to stand above everyone else even without the resources tilted towards him by Lingxiao Sword Sect. The ambiguous relationship between the two alone was extremely provocative.
A good card is thrown away. This is what Lin is like. He is narrow-minded and lacks tolerance. The Lingxiao Sword Sect is not an ironclad organization. It will be difficult to achieve anything great if they lose their composure.
Jing Ji had a clue in his mind, and continued with a smile: "The news that I asked my friend in the Xuanyin Division to help me find out could not be false. Sect Leader Lin may not know that the Ningzhou East Palace was raided some time ago, and it was Lu Bei who was in charge..."
"Tsk tsk tsk, the 800-year-old family business of the Eastern King is destroyed just like that. What a powerful official Lu Ziwei is!"
"… "
Lin Buyan's face was gloomy, he closed his eyes and said nothing. He said again, hearing his junior brother show off was more painful than killing him.
"Of course, the power of a mere Purple Guard is not enough to shake the lineage of the Eastern King. Anyone with a discerning eye can see whether there is an order from the Wu Zhou Emperor behind this."
Jing Ji said, "Lu Ziwei is related to the princess, so he is half a royal family member. He is deeply favored by the emperor and is highly valued. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a close minister of the court. What do you think, Sect Leader Lin?"
Sect Leader Lin didn't want to think about it, he just gasped, picked up the teacup and sipped it without saying a word.
"Master Lin, stop pretending. It is obviously impossible for Lu Ziwei to achieve what he has today by relying on his own efforts. I dare to ask, how much contribution did you make in this?" Jing Ji said bluntly.
"Mr. Jing, please don't slander a good person without any evidence!"
Lin Buyan's eyes widened. God have mercy on him. Everyone in the world hopes that Lu Bei will live a good life, except him.
I wish Lu Bei was guarding a broken mountain, wearing tattered clothes and having no food to eat.
He was only one step away from success if it weren't for his wife, son and daughter getting in the way.
"Whether it is slander or not, it is not up to you, Sect Leader Lin, to decide. It is not up to me to decide either. Justice is in the hearts of the people."
Jing Ji narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Master Lin, you are too close to the royal family. This is not good... You should understand what I mean."
"Huh, Lin doesn't understand."
Lin Buyan slammed the table and stood up. In front of Jing Ji, he picked up the teapot and drank it all in one gulp. Then he opened the lid of the teapot and spat out the few tea leaves in his mouth into the teapot.
Jing Ji's eyes twitched. He felt distressed, but he was not bothered by Lin Buyan and blamed him, "On this matter, Ling Xiao Sword Sect is right and wrong. Sect Master Lin, please take care of yourself. Whether you expel Lu Ziwei from the sect or insist on doing it yourself, I will keep an eye on it."
"Elder Jing, please don't worry about how to deal with Lu Ziwei's matter. No matter what, it is still Lingxiao Sword Sect's family affair. The Tianjian Sect has stretched its hand too far."
"What a family affair! What will the future of the Iron Sword Alliance look like? Is Sect Leader Lin still planning to play dumb?"
"This is a serious matter, and we need to think carefully."
"Time waits for no one, and you won't have time to think twice!"
"Elder Jing, we have strayed off topic. I just want to know where Mei Wangsu and the others are."
"But I don't know that after the Iron Sword Conference started, there was no news about Mei. I don't know where he went to hide."
Jing Ji frowned and said, "Master Lin, you are the one who changed the subject. After all, fighting among one's own family is one's own business. Someone wants to involve outsiders. This matter cannot be easily evaded."
"Indeed, we cannot be vague, but things come first and then come later. Mei Wangsu and others slaughtered their fellow disciples, which is a heinous crime. The Tianjian Sect must issue a wanted order, and anyone in the Iron Sword Alliance must not hide or conceal the crime." Lin Buyan said stubbornly.
"Master Lin is teaching me how to do things?"
"I dare not. Lin only knows that we must first stabilize the country before we can resist foreign aggression. If we want to accomplish great things, people's hearts must be stable."
"It is a good idea to stabilize the country before fighting against foreign enemies. Jing also thinks so."
Jing Ji raised the corner of his mouth and said meaningfully: "Master Lin, regarding how to deal with Lu Ziwei, I am watching you. The Tianjian Sect is waiting for you. The future of Lingxiao Sword Sect is in your hands. Think carefully and don't make a big mistake."
Lin Buyan remained silent. Jing Ji issued an ultimatum. He must have received instructions from the Tianjian Sect before coming.
This matter can't be delayed any longer!
The long silence made the atmosphere extremely heavy. The idle clouds came closer and farther away. Jing Ji, who had closed his eyes and kept silent, opened his eyes and stuffed a few sweet dates into his mouth: "Master Lin is right. Even if the surnamed Mei has a thousand reasons, it is difficult to wash away his despicable behavior of condoning his disciples to slaughter his fellow disciples. This person has a corrupt character and should no longer be an elder of the Tianjian Sect. After I go back, I will explain this matter to the other elders, first remove his title of elder, and then issue the Iron Sword Killing Order."
"In that case, thank you Elder Jing for your trouble. After the matter is completed, I will definitely reward you handsomely."
Lin Buyan nodded, his expression improved a lot, and suddenly said: "How do you plan to explain the matter of Tianjian Sect revealing the entrance to the secret realm to Huangji Sect?"
"That is impossible."
Jing Ji spoke decisively, looking directly into Lin Buyan's scrutinizing eyes, his gaze firm and without any guilt.
But after a moment, Elder Jing Ji changed his tone: "It is also possible that Mei Wangsu did this. There is insufficient evidence, so I cannot easily draw a conclusion. We can only discuss it later."
"Lin can wait, but Lingxiao Sword Sect suffered heavy losses this time. In order to appease his fellow sword cultivators and to maintain the reputation of the Iron Sword Alliance, Lin gritted his teeth and threw money out. The Heaven Sword Sect must make up for Lingxiao Sword Sect's losses."
"Master Lin, you're joking. Whether it's a profit or a loss, it's okay to fool outsiders, but don't make fun of me." Jing Ji laughed out loud and felt relieved.
In the face of important events, it is a good sign that Lin Buyan is still obsessed with material things. After returning, he should quickly issue a wanted order for Mei Wangsu and others to completely stabilize Lin Buyan's position so that he will not have any unnecessary distractions.
By stabilizing Lin Buyan, Lingxiao Sword Sect is basically stable. With his call, Yuezhou's major events can be settled.
"Lin has an account book, written in black and white, which clearly states that I lost money but gained publicity. If Elder Jing doesn't believe me, I can lend it to you to read."
"Forget about flipping through it. I don't believe in things written on paper. I only believe in you, Master Lin. You will never do business at a loss."
"With the Heavenly Sword Sect backing me up, I won't lose money."
Lin Buyan refused to give in and pointed in the direction of Cang Qianshan: "Make up for the loss of Lingxiao Sword Sect. Otherwise, I will immediately interrupt this Iron Sword Conference and say that Tianjian Sect used its connections to buy up all the resources sold by Lingxiao Sword Sect at a low price."
"you… "
Jing Ji was stunned, and finally gritted his teeth and agreed to Lin Buyan's request.
The negotiation ended here, Jing Ji walked away, having lost a sum of resources, but feeling extremely happy.
Next, we just have to wait for Lin Buyan to make his position clear.
Watching Jing Ji leave, Lin Buyan's face quickly darkened, and he looked towards Wuwang Peak in doubt: "This master underestimated him. He climbed to the high position of Purple Guard in just one year, and even established a relationship with the Heavenly Family, becoming the emperor's confidant... Junior Brother Mo, where did you pick up this monster?"
"He is nothing like you... at all!"
—
Don't forget the peak.
Lu Bei sneezed and muttered to himself, wondering which sister was thinking about him again. Senior sister and Sister She were practicing in the Shuangxuan Treasure Map, oblivious to everything around them, so it couldn't be them.
If the information is correct, she can only be my cousin.
Being alone in an empty house for several days, soaking in such a big swimming pool by myself, I guess I must be lonely.
clang!!!
The sword finger moved sideways, brushing against the thick skin and creating sparks of metal friction.
Zhan Hongqu frowned to show his dissatisfaction: "Junior brother, why are you distracted by the battle of sword intent? Are you looking down on me?"
"That's not true. Senior Sister Zhan, you are very popular. I admire you very much. I was distracted because I was too tired from practicing with Senior Sister Bai. I haven't recovered yet."
At this point, Lu Bei raised his hand to support his lower back, looking as scared as Bai Jin.
In a sense, this is harassment.
Zhan Hongqu didn't take it seriously, but felt sorry for Bai Jin, especially for her eyes. If he had known that Junior Sister Bai had an eye disease, he would have taken her to get treatment no matter what.
I don’t know if it’s too late for treatment now.
Swish!!!
In the distance, a figure flew in the air and hovered above the mountain stream, waiting for the two men to finish their sword fight.
After three hundred moves, Zhan Hongqu had gained a lot and stopped with satisfaction. He asked Lu Bei to continue tomorrow and did not stay to disturb him anymore. He took his apprentice and left.
Lu Bei floated into the air and looked at the newcomer in surprise: "Big Brother, why are you here? Didn't you go fishing?"
"Brother, please stop laughing at me. With such a big incident happening in the secret realm, I don't have the energy to fish alone."
"so what?"
"Come to go fishing with you."
