The First Tyrant of Daxia

Chapter 4537 Cowardly Scam

Xiao Jian looked displeased and asked in confusion: "If Chu Jiuhe had no intention, he could have just said it directly. Why did he have to hurt Chu Lin?"

Qin Yun shrugged helplessly. It seemed that in the Nanlin Sect, Xiao Jian kept a low profile. He was not the brave and fearless general at all, and his self-awareness had been lowered a lot.

Just as Qin Yun had thought at the beginning, as long as Xiao Jian was interested, he could marry Chu Lin to him without anyone's consent.

He explained: "You are a general of the Great Xia Empire. It is no exaggeration to say that you are second to none and above ten thousand people. The Nanlin Sect is just a small sect. Even if they are unwilling, how can they dare to speak frankly?"

Xiao Jian was furious when he mentioned this. He would never allow Chu Jiuhe to bully the harmless Chu Lin with such an excuse. It was not her fault. Soon, Xiao Jian made up his mind: "Your Majesty, I will only listen to Chu Lin's decision and don't care about Chu Jiuhe's thoughts."

Qin Yun smiled upon hearing this. This was the courage that a general of Daxia should have, instead of being timid and unable to decide even a marriage. How could he lead the troops to fight in the future?

"That's great." Qin Yun nodded: "I will make the decision for you today. I will eliminate the dissidents in the Nanlin Sect and arrange the marriage!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Qin Yun and Xiao Jian returned to Nanlin Sect. This time, Qin Yun no longer spoke in a cryptic manner, but pointed directly at Chu Jiuhe and spoke.

"Chu Jiuhe, you keep saying that you dote on the daughter of the clan, but now you have caused her to suffer pain. Is this what you call doting? Is it just to prevent Xiao Jian from coveting her?"

As soon as these words came out, all the disciples of Nanlin Sect were stunned, finding it hard to believe what Qin Yun said.

Chu Lin's illness has lasted for decades. The sect leader takes care of him day and night, fearing that anything might go wrong. Everyone thought that it was the work of a villain, but now Qin Yun is pointing the finger at sect leader Chu Jiuhe.

Upon hearing this, a flash of panic appeared in Chu Jiuhe's eyes. Although it was fleeting, it was still caught by Qin Yun.

"Your Majesty, you must not make a rash decision. Although the Nanlin Sect is weak, it still has dignity."

Chu Jiuhe said in a deep voice, but Qin Yun said disdainfully: "Whether it is true or not, we will know it after a try! Which of the herbs and pills you feed Chu Lin day and night is not a chronic poison? If you don't want Chu Lin to leave Nanlin Sect, you can just tell Xiao Jian directly, but because of the difference in status, you dare not speak up, so why do you resort to this desperate measure?"

Chu Lin looked at Chu Jiuhe in disbelief and asked in confusion: "Father, is this all true? Tell me quickly, your majesty just made a mistake in judging the battle situation, the facts are not like that at all!"

Compared to Chu Jiuhe, Chu Lin was the saddest after learning the truth. She had been like this for decades and once thought that she would never recover. Chu Jiuhe also promised to take care of her. Such pampering, after waking up, would become extremely ironic: "How is it possible? My father has taken care of me very attentively. I have no way to repay his kindness for decades. He would never do such a thing."

Chu Lin didn't believe it. He dragged his tired body and tried to move closer to Xiao Jian, wanting to get the truth from him.

Xiao Jian always trusted Qin Yun's judgment unconditionally, and this time was no exception. So when faced with Chu Lin's question, he nodded without hesitation: "Yes, your majesty is right. The one who made you weak and sick today is none other than the person you are closest to, the leader of the Nanlin Sect, Chu Jiuhe!"

Seeing this, Chu Jiuhe hurriedly waved his hands and explained: "How is this possible! As a father, how could I harm my daughter with my own hands?" "Whether it is true or not, why don't we go and take a look?" Qin Yun suddenly spoke and went straight to the outside of the hall.

After arriving at Chu Lin's bedroom, Chu Jiuhe finally panicked, and completely dropped his disguise. He looked at Qin Yun in fear: "Your Majesty, things are not as Your Majesty imagined." Qin Yun said nothing, pushed open Chu Lin's door, looked around, and found the herbs and pills that had not been consumed yet.

Just by using his perception, he could easily determine that the ingredients in it were not simple energy and spiritual power, but a chronic poison that would make people stupid and cause irreversible damage to the body.

When Xiao Jian saw this, he was immediately furious. He stepped forward and grabbed Chu Jiuhe by the collar: "What do you mean? Is there something wrong with your Majesty's perception? Why did you want to harm Chu Lin!"

When faced with such a reality, all the disciples of the Nanlin Sect were speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.

The powerful and beloved clan leader secretly fed the clan girl herbs and pills containing chronic poisons. If such a thing were to spread, wouldn't he be ridiculed by everyone?

Any excuse seemed hypocritical. The truth was revealed, and Chu Lin could not recover from the shock. Chu Jiuhe panicked and explained palely: "No! It's not like that! When Xiao Jian led his troops to fight against Nanlin Sect, I was ready to die together. But who would have thought that after meeting Chu Lin, Xiao Jian chose to stop and left Nanlin Sect a way out."

"Chu Linggui is the daughter of our sect, how could I let her be taken away by Xiao Jian? I have no choice but to resort to this last resort!"

Such a reason could not convince Xiao Jian at all. Instead, it made him even more angry and he shouted angrily: "This is ridiculous! There are so many ways to separate Chu Lin and me, but you chose the most wrong one!"

Not only Xiao Jian, but also the Nanlin Sect disciples began to denounce: "Sect Master, you have changed, completely changed!"

"It's just that I was too weak and didn't have the courage to ask Xiao Jian for help. I harmed the daughter of the clan without realizing it. I don't even have the qualifications to be the clan leader!"

"I never expected that the person closest to me is right in front of me, but the most vicious person is also by my side!" Facing the condemnation and the pressure from Qin Yun, Chu Jiuhe knew that any explanation would be useless. He frowned and looked at Qin Yun and asked nervously: "Your Majesty, if the facts are true, what kind of severe punishment will I receive?"

Qin Yun heard this and said in a deep voice: "Demote him to a commoner! When the leader of Nanlin Sect changes in the future, I will personally send people to guard here."

Chu Jiuhe obviously could not accept such an outcome. The position of sect leader was what he cherished most. Even Chu Lin could not compare to it. It would be better for him to die than to lose his power and status.

Without any hesitation, Chu Jiuhe overestimated his own abilities and tried to sense the avenue, determined to compete with Qin Yun.

Seeing this, Qin Yun only gave Xiao Jian a look, and he immediately stepped forward and said in a cold voice: "If you really want to fight, then fight! But His Majesty's decision cannot be questioned. Whether you succeed or fail, your fate will only be to be demoted to a commoner, or die miserably in Nanlin Sect!"
