Elder Quan bowed to express his gratitude.
Si Luochen was taken away by the guards to the Cliff of Repentance.
Yun Yueqing walked towards the throne in the center of the hall and said, "If you have nothing else to do, please leave. Elder Quan, please stay for a moment."
Upon hearing this, everyone bowed and saluted, then slowly left the hall.
For a moment, only Yun Yueqing, Elder Quan and a few maids were left in the spacious hall.
The flickering candlelight stretched their shadows out long, casting them on the bluestone ground, swaying gently in the breeze.
"Elder Quan, as a participant in this matter, why didn't you take out the real tiger talisman at the beginning? Or maybe you were more optimistic about Si Luochen, but why did you change sides at the last minute?"
Elder Quan smiled calmly, "I've always been on Si Luochen's side, but in reality, I'm more optimistic about you."
"Having said that, I still want to see how well you handle things. If I don't take action, how can you cope?"
Yun Yue smiled faintly, "Elder Quan, you are testing me. What is the result of the test? Are you satisfied?"
Elder Quan bowed and saluted, "I don't deserve the title of Sect Leader Yun, but I am very satisfied with the result. You are truly worthy of the title of Sect Leader."
Yunyue lightly straddled the throne and rested her hands lightly on the armrests, her posture dignified and majestic.
"That's good."
"According to rumors, the origin of the zombie wave is actually my Jingyuan Sect. Elder Quan, do you know the reason?"
"This was not done by our Jingyuan Sect, but the zombie mother body did come from the Jingyuan Sect." Elder Quan explained truthfully.
"There's a traitor within the Jingyuan Sect, and he's in a high position. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to sneak past the layers of guards and bring hundreds of zombies into the Jingyuan Sect."
Elder Quan: "To be honest, Deacon Zhang was dismissed from his post because of this incident."
Yun Yueqing was puzzled: "Why do you say that?"
"Of course, according to investigations, Deacon Zhang was on duty at the sect's gate when the large-scale zombie attack occurred. He just happened to disappear while everyone was dealing with the zombies."
"He refused to admit it, but Deacon Si... no, Si Luochen said that he should be dismissed from his post as a punishment for deserting his post.
Yun Yueqing immediately shook her head, "Impossible, there must be something fishy going on. Zhang Xiao... Deacon Zhang has always been loyal to his duties, he can't be a traitor."
"Moreover, Si Luochen handled the matter too hastily. There must be something hidden behind this matter."
There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the hall, followed by a guard's loud announcement: "Ye Feng requests an audience. There is an urgent matter to report!"
Yun Yueqing: "Come in."
Ye Feng hurried into the hall with a solemn expression. He held a secret letter tightly in his hand and looked straight at Yun Yueqing, as if he was carrying a heavy weight.
"Master, I have made a significant discovery and must report it immediately."
He unfolded the secret letter, and the contents of the letter made him frown. "After several days of investigation, it has been confirmed that the traitor is indeed Deacon Zhang. He is not only secretly colluding with the Demon Sect, but also personally controlling the zombie waves, intending to overthrow our Jingyuan Sect!"
After Ye Feng finished speaking, the candlelight in the hall seemed to tremble, reflecting his resolute face.
And from Yun Yueqing's eyes, which remained calm despite the shock, a storm was quietly brewing.
She slammed the table and stood up, "Impossible!"
But when she recalled her chance encounter with Zhang Jiaxi in the Demon Sect, everything that happened seemed too much of a coincidence.
But she knew Zhang Jiaxi, who was an upright person and would never betray her.
It can launch a wave of zombies, whether from the perspective of the leader of the Jingyuan Sect or the ancestor of zombies.
The victim was Yun Yueqing, she rubbed her hair irritably.
At this moment, there were two little men, black and white, in her mind, shouting at each other.
The white villain said: "You and he grew up together. From the real world to the world in this book, you are the most familiar with each other. He can't betray you."
The black man said: "But he has lived alone in this book world for two thousand years, not just two years. Everything will change after such a long time."
White villain: "Even if he has changed, he has saved me time and time again. That's a fact."
The black villain said, "Don't be naive. Everyone can put on a show. He even tried to stop you from retrieving your system in the Demon Sect Tower and repairing your Golden Core. Haven't you ever had any doubts?"
The white man said: "Maybe he doesn't know that the tower resonates with me. He only knows that it is a forbidden area and very dangerous, so he stopped me."
"What's more, I went berserk on that full-moon night. If he was colluding with the Demon Sect, he could have simply not helped me escape and captured me directly. There was no need to go through so much trouble to save me."
The black man was defeated and disappeared into thin air in Yun Yueqing's mind.
Yun Yueqing took a deep breath and looked determined.
"Ye Feng, this matter still needs to be considered carefully."
Yun Yueqing turned to look at Elder Quan, "Elder, I know what to do with Deacon Zhang."
"Now, I need you to investigate the movements of the Demon Sect. The zombie wave may be related to them."
Elder Quan nodded in agreement.
Yun Yueqing thought secretly in her heart, and she decided to go to Deacon Zhang's residence in person.
As soon as she stood up from the throne, Ye Feng knelt down devoutly.
"Master Yun, have we reached any conclusion on the master-servant contract that we discussed earlier?"
Yun Yueqing frowned, "Elder Quan, do you have anything else to say?"
Elder Quan lowered his head and retreated wisely.
Yun Yueqing seemed to understand a little bit. It turned out that Ye Feng was trying to show his courtesy.
But he didn't know that the real relationship between Zhang Jiaxi and Yun Yueqing was like flattering the wrong person.
Yun Yueqing was actually a little annoyed because of Ye Feng's behavior.
"We'll discuss this later. Right now, I need to confirm whether what you reported is true. If it is, it will be a great achievement. Then I will sign a master-servant contract with you."
It is actually not a loss to sign a master-servant contract. After all, the servant will serve the master and can also block the knife at the critical moment.
The master only needs to help him when he is in danger. If he doesn't help, the backlash force will not be much.
Although this is a sure-win business, Yun Yueqing still has to be wary of Ye Feng's impatience.
Ye Feng was confident of victory, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, and his eyes flashed with excitement.
He suddenly lowered his head and his forehead hit the cold, hard floor of the hall heavily.
There was a crisp "bang" sound, as if gently expressing his determination to Yunyue.
He also seemed excited about the reward he was about to receive.
The sound of continuous kowtows echoed in the hall, accompanied by Ye Feng's slightly trembling but firm voice: "Thank you, Master. I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Ye Feng watched Yun Yueqing's figure gradually walking away, and smiled with relief.
Yunyue stepped lightly into Zhang Jiaxi's slightly quiet courtyard, the moonlight filtering through the sparse clouds.
It was scattered on the bluestone road in patches, casting patches of silver.
In the courtyard, several old plum trees stand quietly, and the red plum blossoms on the branches sway gently in the night breeze, emitting a faint fragrance.
