As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar inside and outside the hall!

The faces of the Red Clothes Faction members were almost all green, with their expressions being as varied as possible.

The people from the Green Clothes Sect looked like they were suddenly hit by a club and then stuffed with a date. The date was not sweet at all, but they all looked confused. For a moment they didn't know whether to shock the master first, or to gloat over the fact that the people from the Red Clothes Sect were worse off than themselves.

But soon all the disciples started making a big fuss.

Some people were shocked that it turned out to be a prestigious master, some people were looking for people to spread the news, some people said they had guessed it a long time ago, and some people saw the conclusion with their own eyes, but still said firmly "Impossible, absolutely impossible".

There was chaos inside and outside the hall.

The peak masters were also in great confusion.

Grand Master is currently the most prestigious disciple of this generation at Xinglin Peak, and this reputation has lasted for more than thirty years. Just as other young disciples guessed, Grand Master was born in Xinglin Peak and has a deep bond with Xinglin Peak. He is also an excellent doctor and a calm person. He has always been trained by the ancestors as a potential peak master. Even if he does not become the peak master in the end, he will definitely become the great peak master and elder who lives and celebrates at Xinglin Peak.

Putting aside other things, Master Uncle was raised by the teachers and seniors of Xinglin Peak, and was taught step by step by their own hands. Human nature is not immune to worldly desires, and he is different from ordinary disciples after all.

If the master uncle really did such a thing, it would definitely cause turmoil to Xinglin Peak.

The chief master of Xinglin Peak couldn't help but tremble his lips for a moment.

Fortunately, the peak masters are not young boys after all. Compared with the young disciples who are in a mess, they are all very patient.

At present, the old man who was the witness was still present, so they had to deal with his affairs first. The peak masters suppressed their intense emotions for the time being. The chief peak master asked the old man, "Do you have anything else to say, or do you have any other evidence or clues?"

The old man shook his head: "No more, no more."

The chief peak master waved his hand coldly and said, "Then go back to the mortal world. I'll let two disciples take you down."

According to the rules, these mortals must be sent back to the mortal world, and the rest depends on how heaven judges and deals with them. Those who have done wrong will most likely not have a good fate.

The old man bowed respectfully without saying a word, then followed two tall disciples who came to pull him up onto the cloud.

The two tall disciples looked at him with somewhat conflicted eyes.

The old man and his two tall disciples quickly disappeared into the clouds.

However, it wasn't long before another commotion was heard outside the hall, forcing the others to stop what they were about to do.

The two tall disciples stumbled back and said in horror, "Peak Master! As soon as the witness left the gate of Xinglin Peak, he said he had no face to return home and jumped off the clouds!"

The two young disciples were still mortals after all, and were far from being indifferent to life and death. The old man's behavior obviously scared them half to death.

The others were also stunned. Although Xinglin Peak was not a real fairyland, it was also a peak in the clouds. If one jumped from here, he would definitely be crushed to pieces. Even the immortals on earth could not save him. The death would be far more miserable than normal.

Xue Li was stunned and her body was stiff.

The chief peak master was also silent for a moment, but he was a man who had seen the world after all, so he shook his head and said, "Jumped down? That's fine, after all, it's a matter of the mortal world, it's not our business."

Xue Li is a true immortal. This is her first time coming into contact with the mortal world. She is still confused when facing all kinds of people, but she is born with a kind and compassionate feeling towards the world.

She thought of the family the old man mentioned, and asked worriedly, "What about the granddaughter-in-law he just mentioned? Although he did something wrong, it sounds like his granddaughter-in-law and his family are not bad people."

The chief peak master said: "Don't worry, fairy. We in Xinglin Peak are not incapable of distinguishing between good and evil. Since I have heard about it, I will send a few capable disciples to take a look."

As he spoke, the peak master assigned a disciple on the spot.

With just a few words, the matter was settled.

The chief peak master's eyes became sharp again. He angrily slapped the handle of the chair and shouted, "The most urgent task now is to clean up the gate of Xinglin Peak first - someone, bring my eldest disciple up to me!"

To the east of Xinglin Peak, there are thousands of peaks on the top of the clouds, where the master lives.

Master Uncle stood alone in the empty residence.

A large number of disciples from Xinglin Peak gathered at the main peak. Even the guests who were supposed to attend the Xinglin Meeting went there. The other peaks of Xinglin Peak seemed to be hollowed out all of a sudden. It was terribly quiet.

The master did not go over to watch the fun. He had already known the development of the situation from the little disciples who were running around discussing and spreading the news.

Ever since he heard that the clan leader's son's plan had been exposed, he knew that he didn't have much time left.

The master uncle sorted out the things in the residence, arranged the medical instruments and herbs as usual, and then looked around the residence.

His mountain residence is far more magnificent than that of ordinary peaks. The master uncle has extraordinary taste and enough money to support it. Xinglin Peak always gives him more and better things than it gives to others. There is a sense of prosperous beauty in the carved railings, lacquered pillars, pearl curtains and jade walls.

He leisurely drank the brewed tea, took a bath, burned incense and changed his clothes.

Then he sat quietly in the hall.

Once he calmed down, he could even hear the huge noise and commotion coming from other places in Xinglin Peak. Due to the distance, the noise seemed to be separated by a layer of hazy fog.

It's interesting to say that the master uncle never personally takes action in the dirtiest places, and the son of the clan leader is loyal, but he is brave and lacks wisdom. After thinking about it, he felt that he was very smart just because he found that Fairy Xueli and Junior Sister Lin Shao both had extraordinary medical skills. He used almost the same trick on Xueli as he did on Lin Shao.

However, the results were quite the opposite.

The old master even began to wonder whether he would face the same situation as Junior Sister Lin Shao did when he entered the main hall.

No, I think it’s different.

Junior Sister Lin Shao's foundation in Xinglin Peak is far less profound than his. Back then, he could find a way to secretly instigate others to seal Lin Shao's voice and movements and then suppress her, but now it's his turn, and no one in Xinglin Peak would dare to do so.

Even though his wings were broken, others still couldn't help but respect him.

Finally, the master heard the noise in the distance getting closer and closer, as if it was coming straight towards him.

He had expected this day to come.

The master closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he heard footsteps rushing into the hall. When he opened his eyes, he saw more than a dozen pairs of brocade boots on the ground.

The people who came over were all the most respected disciples of the next generation at Xinglin Peak, from both the Green Clothes School and the Red Clothes School. Some were young and arrogant, while others were mature and down-to-earth, just like him and his fellow junior brothers and sisters thirty years ago.

The leader is Fang Yi, the eldest brother of the Qingyi School of the next generation.

When they saw him sitting so calmly in his residence, they seemed a little at a loss and hesitated to approach him.

Fang Yi and the others saw that the master was dressed in formal attire with his hair tied up neatly. All the things in the peak were in their original places and arranged meticulously. It seemed that he had not taken anything away except his clothes. His old medicines and medical notes were neatly placed in a conspicuous place. The whole room was incredibly clean.

Finally, Fang Yi calmed down and stepped forward, bowing and saying, "Master, the chief peak master wants to see you. Please come with us to the main peak."

The master uncle said, "Okay."

He straightened his robe and slowly stood up. Soon he was surrounded cautiously by Fang Yi and his group.

The master was quickly brought to the hall.

In the Golden Tripod Hall, all the peak masters of the Xinglin Peak sat in two rows on the left and right, with the chief peak master sitting in the middle. Xue Li and Xun Wang sat between the peak masters, looking like a court interrogation.

The chief peak master angrily slammed the jade chair and shouted with full force: "Yuan Shi, how could you do such a thing!"

The original interpretation is the name of the great master.

Each of the peak masters looked furious, and other Taoist friends who came to attend the Xinglin meeting also gathered around, watching coldly and commenting as if they were watching a monkey spectacle. The chaotic discussions of the disciples who were dozens of years younger than him kept coming into his ears.

"Master Wang is highly regarded by the peak masters, but I never thought he would do such vicious, ugly and sinister things in private!"

"As the eldest disciple and elder of Xinglin Peak, he should be supporting the younger generation and teaching his fellow disciples, but he is so jealous of talented people and has such a bad character!"

"Now that I think about it, it's really weird that Master Uncle has won the championship of the Xinglin Association for four consecutive years. Could he have been eliminating dissidents from the beginning?!"

"How can a vicious person like him have good medical skills! Could it be that his usual herbal medicines and medical methods are also tampered with?!"

There was a lot of noise outside.

The master's lips trembled.

He knelt on the ground, put his sleeves in front of his forehead, kowtowed deeply, and said: "Disciple... I am ashamed of the teachings of the masters."

A peak master was so angry that he was shaking all over. He groped for the teapot on the small wooden table, picked it up, and smashed it hard at the position where the master uncle was!

The heavy teapot smashed to the ground, making a sharp sound of broken porcelain, but it did not hit the master uncle. The boiling hot tea splashed out, soaking most of his sleeves and directly scalding the master uncle's hands.

The peak master saw that the master's hand was burned red, and seemed to pause for a moment, then looked away and stopped looking.

The chief peak master threw all the knives in Xun Wang's room and the fake letters in Xue Li's room in front of him, making a series of crackling sounds.

The chief peak master shouted, "These are the tampered medical instruments in your junior brother's room, and the false accusation letter that was put into Fairy Xueli's room. Are these things related to you? You must plead guilty, you must plead guilty!"

The master uncle said: "I plead guilty."

"Did you ask that foreign young master to put these things in?!"

"The medical instruments in Junior Brother Xun Wang's room were prepared slowly by my disciples who changed or modified them. The letter from Fairy Xueli was sent by the Young Sect Master after I instructed him to do so."

When the peak masters heard that Xun Wang had taken his time to prepare the things in his room, they choked and asked, "Xun Wang has so many medical instruments in his room. How long did it take you to replace them all?"

The master uncle said, "More than a year."

A leader of the Qingyi Sect was about to jump up on the spot and almost overturned the table to smash it, but was stopped in panic by the people around him.

He pointed at the master uncle with a trembling finger, and angrily said: "Wang'er is thirty years younger than you, and this is your junior fellow apprentice!!"

The master remained silent.

"Master, how do you deal with this evil creature?"

A peak master asked.

The chief peak master pondered for a moment, looked at Xun Wang and Xue Li, and said: "The victim is here today, so let the victim speak."

For a moment, everyone's attention was focused on Xun Wang and Xue Li.

The peak master asked, "Wang'er, Fairy Xueli, how do you want to deal with it?"

Xun Wang and Xue Li felt very complicated when they saw Master Uncle being brought up.

When they clearly said they wanted to catch the culprit, they actually didn't have any solid clues to point out who it was. It was just that the purpose of targeting the two of them seemed to be for the Xinglin Society, and the master uncle had a history of trying to bribe Xueli. There was no better candidate than the master uncle, but after all, there was no evidence, so they didn't make any assumptions.

At this time, Master Uncle was really brought up. They were not surprised, but had a very strange feeling.

Xun Wang stood up impatiently and said, "I want to pacify Xue for my senior sister!"

Xun Wang said, "All the medical skills my sister used at the time were absolutely not fake! She is innocent. I have seen all her medical skills, prescriptions and elixirs with my own eyes, and even tried them myself. My sister Lin Shao is clean and sincere. Those letters back then must have been left in our peak by someone to frame my sister! Senior Brother, is this matter also related to you?"

Xun Wang had been holding these words in his heart for who knows how many years, and now that he finally had the chance to say them out loud, he felt so refreshed that his back straightened up.

The master fell silent, and the image of Lin Shao back then emerged in his mind.

When Lin Shao entered Xinglin Peak, he was only in his teens, young and gentle. If people in this world could imagine a medical fairy in heaven, Lin Shao would be like that.

As soon as Xun Wang said this, all the great peak masters present looked embarrassed.

Although at this point, everyone had a vague suspicion that Lin Shao might have made a mistake, no one was willing to poke the window paper.

Because they were the ones who judged Lin Shao's case, if they wanted to admit that Lin Shao was wronged, they had to admit that they had made a mistake. Rushing to judge a case and wrongly accusing someone of being innocent was not much better than murdering someone. And admitting one's own serious mistakes was much more difficult than judging another disciple.

After Master Uncle was silent, he said, "Yes."

The hall was eerily silent.

Outside the palace, something suddenly exploded.

"See, I told you it was indeed Master Uncle!"

"So, Senior Sister Lin Shao was really wronged back then?"

"But her medical skills..."

"Oh my god, how many years has it been since Master Lin Shao was expelled from Xinglin Peak? It must have been almost sixteen years!"

"Master Lin Shao is so pitiful..."

The wind direction changed.

Over the years, the Green and Red sects had often quarreled about what happened to Master Lin Shao. Regardless of whether the Green sect members had secretly resented Master Lin Shao in the past, they suddenly felt proud, their waists straightened, their backs straightened, and their entire bodies began to tremble. The Red sect members, who usually spoke without restraint, felt quite ashamed, and quietly retreated to the back of the crowd when no one was paying attention.

Ah Jin had been guarding near the main hall since Kefeng. She was the kind of person who once blamed Sister Lin Shao for dragging down the Qingyi Sect, and she was usually outspoken. Now she was panicking. Compared to the surprise of the Qingyi Sect's comeback, she was more at a loss. She suddenly remembered that Fairy Xueli had told her something like Master, and looked at Xueli in a trance, and was actually absent-minded for a moment.

After the junior master, Xue Li also slowly stood up from her seat.

She did not directly say how she wanted to deal with the master uncle, but walked up to the master uncle.

Because the master was kneeling, Xue Li seemed a little condescending when she stood in front of him.

Xueli paused, and asked in confusion, "Do you hate Fairy Lin Shao?"

When Master Uncle saw Xue Li walking up to him, he was distracted for a moment by her temperament that was similar to Lin Shao's, thinking that he had seen his junior sister again.

However, after hearing her question, Master Bo remained silent for a longer time.

The young disciples and the sect leader's sons under his command would sometimes look at him curiously, but they all seemed to understand his desire for fame and fortune and had never asked him such questions.

The master thought for a moment and replied, "No, I don't hate you. I don't have any aversion to you, I'm just jealous."

He remembered what Lin Shao looked like back then.
