After all, this time they were facing real gods, which was different from the past. After the sect leader's son found that the expressions of the two of them were not what he expected, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

But he thought about it and felt that the other party had no reason to be prepared, so he became bolder again.

The clan leader's son reeked of alcohol, his face flushed as if from alcohol, but his mind was clear.

He pushed the mortal he brought forward and explained loudly: "A few days ago, I found that the magic performed by this so-called Fairy Xueli at the Xinglin Conference was somewhat familiar. It was like the scam I had exposed many years ago. I was very suspicious, but I saw that Fairy Xueli was a distinguished guest of Xinglin Peak, and was even said to be a true immortal, highly respected by everyone, so I didn't dare to say more. I could only secretly ask the insider from that year. Who would have thought that I really found the problem!"

He brought the mortals he had pushed out before the crowd.

"These are the people who pretended to be patients and deceived everyone together with Lin Shao fifteen years ago. They have all admitted their mistakes. This time I brought them here directly and let them speak for themselves!"

The clan leader's son spoke with conviction.

Xue Li was surprised to find that he brought someone with him this time.

Xue Li could guess who these people were without the clan leader's son explaining in detail.

Back then, they accused my aunt of fraudulent medical skills, saying that she had colluded with her patients and fabricated many so-called "miracle skills" to make herself famous. They also produced many letters of collusion between her and her former patients as evidence.

Of course, my aunt's medical skills were not fake. She really cured those patients. It was not a magical skill. However, although those letters were forged, it was not so easy to invent patients out of thin air.

…These mortals brought by the clan leader’s son were all patients that my aunt had actually treated in the past.

Xue Li looked up blankly.

I saw that the mortals pushed out by the sect leader's son were all quite old. The youngest was in his early thirties and spoke in a slick manner; the oldest was in his fifties or sixties, with a weathered look on his face and remained silent; there were one or two others with different expressions, who seemed a little flustered in the face of so many accomplished immortal cultivators.

The tone of the clan leader's son was too confident, and all the witnesses and material evidence were brought with him. It looked like a grand scene, and the disciples of Xinglin Peak who had gathered around seemed hesitant.

The thirty-something witness immediately said, "Yes, absolutely! This immortal is telling the truth! Gentlemen, I have just confirmed it! The fairy Xueli used the same so-called magic that Fairy Lin Shao asked us to testify! It is exactly the same! There is no doubt about it! Although the fairy does have some medical skills, it is definitely not a magical skill!"

"We don't know how she did it, but you old men who practice Taoism must have your own ways! I just fell and scraped my skin a little, and she helped me put two pieces of medicine on my wound and told people that I was dying of illness. My acting skills are so good that I even fooled my parents!"

Another woman in her early forties with hooked eyes immediately followed suit when someone else spoke up, "My situation is similar. Fairy Lin Shao told my child to pretend to be seriously ill, and then he climbed a thousand miles to find her for treatment."

"Although she put on a fancy show, she actually just gave me some medicine and didn't cure me at all. My child is now 16 or 17 years old, and he still has headaches, fever, and stomachaches every other day. But because I lied to her about praising her back then, I don't dare to go to a doctor casually to keep my reputation. All the minor illnesses have turned into major ones!"

"The letter from Fairy Lin Shao back then, and the letter from Fairy Xueli this time, were both from me. They valued my keeping my mouth shut, and they all wanted me to come to Xinglin Peak to pretend again, but I have been enlightened by several Taoist priests. This time I wrote a letter specifically to persuade Fairy Xueli to turn back! I came here specially to testify!"

Several witnesses finished their statements one by one, and finally the old man standing at the back said, "Yes... ahem... I feel the same way. The medical skills of Fairy Lin Shao back then were exactly the same as those of Fairy Xueli. They were both fake."

Lin Shao's deeds in the past were very famous in Xinglin Peak, and had long been concluded. The Qingyi Sect has been unable to hold its head up because of this until now. When they heard that Xue Li's medical skills in recent days were actually connected with the notorious Lin Shao, everyone was immediately shocked!

"Lin Shao! He actually used the same trick as Lin Shao!"

"Speaking of which, the rumors about this Fairy Xueli are indeed similar to those about Nun Lin Shao back then. Both have medical skills that no one has ever seen, and both are said to be divine skills."

"But Fairy Xueli is a fairy. How could a fairy lie to us?"

"She revealed her magic a while ago, but no one has made any progress so far. If this is the case, no wonder no one has been able to learn it..."

The discussions in the crowd suddenly became very noisy.

What happened to Lin Shao happened fifteen years ago. Most of the new disciples and the outer disciples who have been recruited into the peak in recent years have never seen what she was like back then. They are just repeating what others say, but they have all heard about it. At first, everyone was skeptical, but when they heard that it was related to Lin Shao and that she had successfully scammed once in Xinglin Peak, it seemed that the story became more credible.

Junior Master Uncle never liked other people talking about his Senior Sister like this. Now, hearing so many people bringing up old matters and constantly criticizing Lin Shao's name, he couldn't help but frowned deeply in annoyance.

He subconsciously wanted to hold Xue Li behind him, but Xue Li was not stopped by him.

Xueli took a step forward, her expression complicated, and she said in disbelief: "How can you confuse right and wrong like this? Fairy Lin Shao should have cured you or your family's illness back then, right?"

The man in his thirties had a wine flask hanging around his waist. He said, "I told you it was fake! She just put two plasters on my legs. Can that be considered a cure for my illness? She became famous because of my illness, but I helped her so much!"

The woman also said, "That's right! Besides, how can such a minor illness be considered a favor? Isn't she a miracle doctor? But my child got better after being treated by her, but now he still suffers from major and minor illnesses all the time. Can she be called a miracle doctor if she only treats the symptoms but not the root cause?!"

Sydney found it difficult to respond.

The lord's son wanted to make a quick decision, so he pointed to the letter on the ground and said, "What else do you want to say?"

The clan leader's son was very proud when he said this. He was just an immortal cultivator and perhaps he could not really do anything to Xue Li, but he was better than immortals at shaking people's hearts. As long as he could make other people doubt, Xue Li would not be able to stay in Xinglin Peak and quit Xinglin Society, then his mission would be accomplished.

The clan leader's son thought he had already won the battle, but when he looked at Xue Li's face, he still did not see the expected expression on her or Xun Wang's face.

Xue Li paused and picked up the letter that the clan leader's son had thrown on the ground.

She said, "You said these letters are evidence, right?"

Xue Li's calm tone made the son of the sect master wary, but he still said firmly: "Yes, I have sent people to report to the peak masters of Xinglin Peak and the elders of the master's ancestor. After all, this is a matter involving the Xinglin Association, and Xinglin Peak should handle it on its own. Let the elders decide! I don't believe that they can still be partial and corrupt in front of everyone!"

The clan leader's son spoke very loudly, and in one sentence he accused Xinglin Peak of being partial and corrupt for not following his advice.

However, Xueli did not respond to his words. Instead, she picked up the letter and asked softly, "Who sent me these letters?"

The woman did not notice that the situation was a little strange. She just thought that this kind of atmosphere was normal in the Xiuxian Sect. Since she had the support of the Sect Master's son, she said with unusual confidence, "Of course it's me."

Xueli asked: "What did you say you wrote in the letter?"

The woman said, "It was the fairy who wrote to me first, saying that she hoped I would go to Xinglin Peak for help on the second day of next month, pretending to be seriously ill, and then the fairy would cure me. This kind of thing, I was advised by the Taoist priest many years ago, and I have long been unwilling to do it. The content of these letters is all my rejection of the fairy. The fairy wrote to me again and again, and I even wrote a long speech to persuade the fairy to be honest and turn back!"

Xue Li said nothing, but opened the letters one by one on the spot and then spread them out in public.

I saw that every piece of letter paper taken out of the envelope was empty.

Turn it over and there is not a single word.

The scene suddenly became quiet, almost perfect silence.

The onlookers who had been discussing and speculating before all shut up. The sect leader's son and the witnesses he invited held back their words and stared at the letter with wide eyes.

The son of the clan leader's eyes almost popped out of his head. He was the first to react and shouted, "Change the letter! I have asked someone to invite the leader of Xinglin Peak—"

Before he finished speaking, he saw a dozen people suddenly walk out of the crowd. They were the chief master of Xinglin Peak and other elder masters whom he said he would call.

One of the Grand Masters had a complicated expression on his face. He took out a few pieces of letter paper from his arms and showed them to the Sect Master's son, saying, "You are probably looking for this, right? We got these a few days ago."

As they spoke, several boys brought up by the peak masters came with several brocade boxes in their hands. The boys opened the brocade boxes in their hands, revealing all the medical knives and other medical tools that had been tampered with before and found from Junior Uncle-Master.

The Grandmaster said, “We also got all of these.”

“…!”

The clan leader's son was horrified when he saw the knives.

Another master said, "After the final test of the Xinglin Association, Fairy Xueli and Xun Wang suddenly came to the main peak in the middle of the night with these medical tools. They said frankly that the medical tools were tampered with, but they didn't know who did it. They said that since someone set an ambush, there must be a next move, so they asked us for help. Since that night, we have been secretly guarding their residence and watching."

"A few days ago, Fairy Xueli personally invited many young disciples to her guest peak to practice together. That day, we saw with our own eyes that a young disciple from Xinglin Peak sneakily stuffed these letters into Fairy Xueli's closet."

Speaking of this, several elders from Xinglin Peak who had witnessed the incident could not help but look embarrassed.

To be honest, when they saw Xun Wang and Fairy Xueli coming with those knives, they were also hesitant and half-believing and half-doubting. However, when they saw with their own eyes that someone really stuffed the false letter into Fairy Xueli's residence, they were shocked.

Not only did this confirm what Fairy Xueli and Xun Wang said, but the person who slipped the false letter to Fairy Xueli was a disciple from their Xinglin Peak. This was truly a huge loss of face.

They didn't expect that such a scum would appear in their sect. They were so furious that they couldn't control themselves.

The master continued, "We wanted to catch the young disciple who had corrupted our sect right away, but Fairy Xueli and Xun Wang stopped us, saying that such a young disciple was at most just being instructed by someone else. We would have to wait to catch the mastermind, so we have been lying in ambush until now and have never left."

Xue Li stood quietly by.

Her thoughts at the time were simple.

Most of the knives that Junior Master Uncle used to tamper with were kept in the medical room in his residence, except for the medical instruments that he always carried with him. If anyone wanted to tamper with these medical instruments, they would have to be someone who could frequently go in and out of his residence.

Apart from Dai Youzong, the people who often came and went from Junior Master's place were the outer disciples and junior disciples who came to deliver things, help cultivate and process herbs, or maintain medical tools. However, there were too many of these scattered disciples, and it was not easy to track them down. It was the same with my aunt back then. To frame her, we first had to sneak the letter into her room without anyone noticing.

So on the second day, Xue Li tried to intentionally invite many young disciples to her guest peak, to relax the guard and create an opportunity for there to be many people and eyes. The junior master also often went out with Dai Youzong, leaving the peak empty, and letting the elders of Xinglin Peak guard the houses on both sides.

Xinglin Peak is a famous immortal sect. Many of the peak masters have practiced for hundreds of years. Ordinary disciples and even Taoist practitioners with higher cultivation levels cannot notice anything.

As a result, the first person the masters of Xinglin Peak encountered was the young disciple who put the letter in Xueli's room.

Later, the young disciple who sneaked into Xun Wang's medical room to look for medical tools was actually caught on the spot. Although the peak masters were furious, they did not want to alert the enemy, so they did not take any action for the time being.

Then today, they saw with their own eyes the clan leader's son pretending to be drunk and breaking into the house, trying to frame Xue Li.

When the clan leader's son heard this, he realized that he was trapped. He was immediately confused and blurted out: "This, this is impossible..."

A peak master shook his head upon hearing this.

He said: "You don't think enough. You are an outsider and you may not understand it very well. If you don't have permission, how can you enter the house of Fairy Xueli whenever you want? Do you know what she keeps in the house..."

The clan leader's son was stunned. Before the peak master finished speaking, he suddenly felt something touching his shoulder.

He turned his head subconsciously, only to be met with a pair of cold tiger eyes.

“Ah!”

He saw a huge tiger as tall as a man running out of the house at some point and squatting silently behind him.

The clan leader's son saw a huge, majestic tiger face, with sharp fangs and claws.

"ah!!"

The clan leader's son was caught off guard, and he screamed immediately, then subconsciously tried to escape.

"Roar!!"

It would have been fine if he didn't run, but what would happen if he ran? Brother Tiger roared from his throat and rushed forward nimbly in two steps at a time!

Then, he caught up with him in one breath and pinned him down with a slap! !

The author has something to say: Brother Tiger: Roar! Roar! (Very majestic) (Shaking his head)
