Chapter 32: Bringing Back the Law Enforcement Hall

Just as Manager Chen was about to explain the situation, the elder interrupted him: "Wait a minute."

Then he walked up to Xiao Chen with a serious face and asked: "Is this your room?"

Xiao Chen nodded: "It is the disciple's residence."

Manager Chen quickly stepped forward to explain the situation: "When I arrived earlier, Li Sibao had already been poisoned, and Xiao Chen was using hydrotherapy to save him."

He then extended his hand and introduced: "This is Elder Jiang from the Law Enforcement Hall, and this disciple is Xiao Chen, the inner sect seed of our Second Branch."

"Don't say anything. I'll ask him." Elder Jiang stopped Manager Chen and looked Xiao Chen up and down. "Why did Li Sibao come to see you, and why was he poisoned?"

Manager Chen couldn't help but frown when he saw this. He didn't want to go find Elder Jiang because he was worried that the other party would misunderstand Xiao Chen.

From the first time they met, he felt that Xiao Chen was a promising young talent, and the subsequent results confirmed this.

But after finding Elder Chen, the other party insisted that he go to the Law Enforcement Hall to find Elder Jiang, and then "accidentally" meet him on the road and come to the scene together.

Now, Xiao Chen has indeed become a suspect.

Manager Chen looked at Elder Chen in confusion, but Elder Chen did not seem worried at all and was watching the show leisurely from the side.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen frowned slightly, but still told the whole story of his encounter with Li Sibao.

He was telling the truth. After all, he was also one of the victims in this matter.

I was inexplicably treated with hostility, inexplicably attacked, and now I am inexplicably questioned.

But this only intensified Elder Jiang's suspicion: "You mean, you were sleeping soundly at home, and Li Sibao came to you for no reason, and you don't know why he was poisoned?"

"Xiao Chen, I'm officially warning you. I'm questioning you as an elder of the Law Enforcement Hall. You must answer all my questions honestly."

"If I find out that you're trying to lie to me, the eighteen punishments of the Law Enforcement Hall are waiting for you."

At the end of the conversation, Elder Jiang shouted, "Do you understand?"

"Hey, Senior Brother Jiang, don't get angry. I've seen this disciple before. He's an honest and well-behaved kid. Let me go talk to him first."

Elder Chen then calmly began to persuade.

At the same time, he took two steps to the middle of Xiao Chen and Elder Jiang, and directly blocked Xiao Chen with his body.

Elder Jiang looked annoyed: "Are you going to protect this disciple? Junior Brother Chen, you'd better think about it carefully."

Manager Chen standing next to him was completely stunned. He belatedly realized what Elder Chen was intending.

Sure enough, the next moment, Elder Chen declared righteously, "I believe Xiao Chen is fine. If I'm wrong, I'm willing to take responsibility."

He looked at Xiao Chen and said righteously: "Don't worry, I will be your guarantor."

Xiao Chen first thanked Elder Chen: "Disciple thanks Elder for your concern, but I have nothing to fear from my own shadow."

Then he looked at Elder Jiang calmly and said, "If there is any problem with the Law Enforcement Hall, I will tell you everything I know."

He really didn't do anything in this matter.

So when facing doubts, Xiao Chen was very confident.

After all, the other party can't make up stories out of nothing and confuse right and wrong.

"Hmph, that's a nice thing to say." Seeing this, Elder Jiang continued to question, "Then let me ask you, do you have any grudges against each other?"

"No."

"Hasn't there been any quarrels before?"

"No."

"Then why did he come to your house to look for you?"

"Disciple doesn't know."

"Don't know? Then what do you know?"

"Except for what I have said before, I know nothing."

"How dare you!" Elder Jiang shouted, "Come here, take him back to the Law Enforcement Hall and help him remember his past."

Upon hearing this, the two senior brothers behind him immediately took out the ropes and stepped forward, wanting to take Xiao Chen away.

"Wait! Who dares to take him away?" Elder Chen immediately said, "I've already said, I guarantee Xiao Chen, he has nothing to do with this matter."

Elder Jiang looked at Elder Chen, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Then he looked at Xiao Chen again to confirm that he did not remember the face of this disciple.

Then he reminded: "Junior Brother Chen, according to the sect rules, it is a taboo for disciples to kill each other. The lightest punishment is the destruction of cultivation, and the worst is the death penalty."

"If any high-ranking members of the sect protect family members, disciples, or grandchildren, they will be held jointly responsible and will be dismissed and punished."

Elder Chen glanced at him imperceptibly, and Xiao Chen behind him responded loudly, "Of course I know. Senior Brother Jiang, don't worry about this."

"Anyway, I've got Xiao Chen."

When Manager Chen arrived earlier, Xiao Chen was helping Li Sibao suppress the poison.

Therefore, Manager Chen easily realized that Xiao Chen had quietly broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

If the situation had not been urgent and Li Sibao was dying, Manager Chen would have wanted to pull Xiao Chen aside and ask him how he practiced.

This was also the reason why he had deliberately gone around in circles to find Elder Chen before he set out to look for someone. In Manager Chen's expectation, he should have brought Elder Chen to help calm the situation down.

Faced with such a promising disciple, no matter what the truth of the matter is, Xiao Chen should be taken out first and then the investigation should be carried out slowly.

However, after thinking for a while, Elder Chen rejected his proposal and chose another way of doing things.

Now it seems that he actually wants to take this opportunity to win over Xiao Chen?
Manager Chen looked calm, but he was constantly thinking about Elder Chen's intentions in his heart.

Elder Jiang was also pondering the same thing in his mind.

He looked at Xiao Chen in confusion. Something was not right. Could it be that this disciple had some background?
Otherwise, how could Elder Chen be so dedicated and even personally guarantee him when he clearly looked like a stranger?

To be on the safe side, Elder Jiang asked, "Xiao Chen, right? Even if someone vouches for you, you are still the biggest suspect."

"After all, human life is at stake. For the next period of time, you will be subject to investigation and interrogation at any time."

"At the same time, we need to notify your family or teachers to come and be questioned with you."

This is actually equivalent to giving Xiao Chen an opportunity to call someone.

Generally speaking, monks with backgrounds would use the excuse of having something to do and quickly inform us.

However, Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "I am an orphan taken in by the sect. Over the years, I have only served under the sect's Instructor Wu and have no other teachers."

No background?

Elder Jiang was obviously a little surprised, so why did Elder Chen go out to protect him?
As if to answer this question, Elder Chen spoke up in time to help: "Although Xiao Chen doesn't have a nominal master, he has a high level of understanding. I am very optimistic about him."

"Zhi'an's nephew once brought him to see me, and I immediately felt that he was a good candidate and very much in my league."

"In my heart, I have already considered him half my disciple."

"Of course, it all depends on his own wishes. Xiao Chen, if you wish, you can officially call me Master from now on."

This is Elder Chen’s purpose. He wants to take the lead and snatch this apprentice in this way.

He decided to bet on Xiao Chen so that he could maintain this amazing cultivation speed and quickly build his foundation.

At the same time, a misunderstanding was deliberately designed.

Not only can he directly do Xiao Chen a favor, but if he's lucky he can also trick Elder Jiang.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen immediately remembered the last time he met Elder Chen.

Yes, he was indeed very cordial when we met last time, and he gave me several things.

In terms of fate, both Manager Chen and Elder Chen have indeed demonstrated a considerable degree of goodwill a long time ago.

In terms of status, Elder Chen is one of the sect's most powerful elders, and the Chen family is one of the five major families. Many people want to join but have no way.

From the current perspective, he is being inexplicably harassed by Elder Jiang. As long as he agrees to Elder Chen, he will have an extra backer, which is a good thing no matter how you look at it.

So he immediately bowed and said, "Hello, Master!"

Elder Chen smiled broadly: "Hey, good disciple."

Manager Chen was stunned by what he saw. He had been thinking that after suppressing this matter, he would try to win over Xiao Chen.

I never expected that Elder Chen would come up with this idea all at once.

What’s even more amazing is that when Elder Jiang heard these words, they also filled in his doubts and misled his judgment.

At this time, an inner sect senior brother also happened to arrive, approached Elder Jiang and whispered in his ear, roughly telling him about the big and small things Xiao Chen had been involved in over the past six months.

The main content is three consecutive enlightenments, breaking the outer disciples' cultivation record.

Elder Jiang suddenly realized, that's right, that's right, it turns out that Elder Chen has seen the potential of this disciple.

If that's the case, then he doesn't have to worry about anything.

Then he could take this opportunity to investigate Xiao Chen thoroughly. As long as he could find relevant black material, he could use it to attack the Chen family.

Just like the rise of the Jiang family, competing for the Chen family's share of elixirs.

If anything goes wrong with Elder Chen's apprentice, he, as the master, will naturally be responsible.

In this way, the position of the outer sect elder can be changed to Jiang.

Elder Jiang had already thought it through and realized that in this matter, he was completely beneficial and harmless.

There is a high probability that some negative information can be found about Xiao Chen, because disciples from such a low-income background will most likely do anything to obtain cultivation resources.

There aren't many clean ones, and they can't withstand scrutiny. It's just a matter of whether they can uncover major or minor offenses.

As long as Xiao Chen has a flaw, he can link it to Li Sibao.

Even if nothing is found in the end, as the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, it is his job to conduct an impartial investigation.

At most, Xiao Chen would feel uncomfortable and might even resent him for it.

Thinking of this, Elder Jiang immediately made up his mind.

Xiao Chen is just an outer disciple. Even if he had ten times the courage, he would not dare to bear a grudge against the Jiang family.

"Junior Brother Chen, human life is at stake. As the Lord of the Law Enforcement Hall, you must be fair and impartial. No single step of the necessary procedures must be omitted. I hope you understand."

"Come here, invite Elder Chen and Xiao Chen back to the Law Enforcement Hall. Set up a seat for Elder Chen in the hall, serve him tea, and treat him to delicious food and drinks."
