Do you really think you can get me with just a banana?

When Yan Ruchen walked to the sect gate, the man sweeping the stairs secretly glanced at him several times.

Not only the people sweeping the mountain stairs, but also some disciples from some outer sect who were asking for information at the door, were all clinging to the wall and staring at him. When they saw him coming, they immediately surrounded him and said something he couldn't understand.

It is related to Si Hongyin and Song Ziye.

He was originally working at the foot of the mountain. As soon as he stepped into Yuchen Palace and spoke a few words to Xu Fengyu, the tablet on his waist started to make a continuous noise as if it had suffered a stroke. After receiving the urgent summons, he had no time to persuade Xu Fengyu to return to the sect, so he had to rush back first.

But he still couldn't prevent it when he was leaving the house. He was already walking very fast, but Li Xiuqi still pulled him into the main hall to worship the "Universe" again.

After entering the sect, Yan Ruchen paid no attention to the whispers of the outer disciples as he hurried forward and entered the main gate. Fortunately, the stair sweeper stepped forward in time and separated the crowd behind him, and the chatter and questioning instantly disappeared at the door.

A disciple led him to the Elders' Hall. When he arrived, he saw that the hall was already crowded with people.

The leading disciple bowed to the elders in the room and quietly withdrew. Yan Ruchen looked around. Aside from a young, white-haired old man in the center, all the others were familiar faces. Si Hongyin knelt on the ground, weeping so hard she could barely breathe. Everyone around her, sitting or standing, sighed and lamented.

Guan Shanyu was curled up in the corner, his face pale and with a bright red palm print on it. It was unknown who had hit him.

Strangely, this time Song Ziye was also kneeling.

Yan Ruchen glanced around, already gaining a general understanding of the situation, but the situation before him was more dire than he had anticipated. Following protocol, he saluted the elders. Before he could straighten his back, he heard Qiushui Sword Lady sigh and glance at him sideways, her tone tinged with fatigue. "You're here. You've heard everything, right?"

Si Hongyin had her back to the door. When she heard Qiushui Jianji's voice, she quickly turned around. Seeing Yan Ruchen, she wanted to stand up and cry, "Ruchen, I..."

"How dare you! You did such a shameful thing and still dare to make a noise? Kneel down!"

When Qiu Shui Jian Ji saw Si Hongyin about to pounce on him again, she held her forehead and wanted to bang her head against it to death.

How many times have we said that there are differences between men and women? Yet, they still do such shameful things. I really don't want to say that this kind of disciple was taught by her. Old Man Si is really something. I wonder if it's because this child has been without a mother since childhood, so he is too spoiled by her.

Si Hongyin was so frightened by this shouting that she fell silent. She could only look at Yan Ruchen with an innocent look and whispered in defense, "Ruchen, there is nothing wrong between me and Brother Ziye."

But Guan Shanyu's face looked even more innocent than Si Hongyin's.

He was obviously just an ordinary passerby. When he was unconscious, he accidentally lost the handkerchief that Song Ziye used to wipe his blood. Who could have known that there was something fishy about the handkerchief? Si Hongyin was so angry that she thought he had framed her and slapped him hard.

As for the secret on the handkerchief, there was a love poem on it.

That’s right, Si Hongyin wrote a love poem to Song Ziye.

If the system was still there, it would have been frantically broadcasting "Plot deviation, plot deviation" like it was urging him to die! But now it was gone. Although Guan Shanyu didn't have to have his eardrums shattered by the alarm, he also lost the person who was analyzing the current situation with him.

Faced with a plot he was completely unaware of and being slapped in the face, Guan Shanyu felt like dying.

Although Song Ziye is Yan Ruchen's love rival in the original novel, Si Hongyin has always been determined to love Yan Ruchen and has never done anything out of the ordinary with Song Ziye.

But in this world he was no longer certain, because all kinds of developments were completely different from his original plans.

In fact, there was nothing wrong with a love poem, but for some reason, after they returned from the Zixiao Spiritual Realm, the rumor that Si Hongyin and Song Ziye were involved spread throughout the sect. Because her relationship with Yan Ruchen had been exposed, many people portrayed Si Hongyin as a domineering and fickle woman.

Guan Shanyu didn't understand the situation. He felt that he had already been beaten, and Si Hongyin should not notice him in the short term. He might as well just shrink aside and ignore the air. Anyway, the highlight of this scene would definitely be the three protagonists Yan Ruchen, so he would just make a few excuses if he was involved.

When Yan Ruchen entered, the disciple who led the way had already roughly explained the situation, looking at him as if he were a green-haired turtle. But Yan Ruchen's expression remained unchanged. Facing the elders in the room, he ignored Si Hongyin and continued to bow politely and respectfully: "Disciple greets all the elders."

Qiushui Sword Lady nodded and introduced Yuan Chongxiao to Yan Ruchen: "This is Master Yuan from the Purple Sky Spirit Realm."

Song Ziye bowed respectfully towards him and said, "Greetings, Master Yuan."

Yuan Zhongxiao's eyes were still closed, but he nodded slightly. Qiu Shui Jian Ji didn't bother to say anything polite and said directly, "You know everything, right?"

Yan Ruchen nodded: "I heard something on the way."

Seeing Yan Ruchen's answer, Si Hongyin shouted anxiously: "Ruchen, I didn't do it! Someone must have framed me, I..."

"Shut up!"

Qiushui Sword Lady stopped her, and Si Hongyin was frightened into silence again. Yan Ruchen bowed to Qiushui Sword Lady and said, "Disciple, may I see that handkerchief?"

Without even looking up, Qiu Shui Jian Ji threw the handkerchief to him. Yan Ruchen caught the handkerchief steadily and saw lifelike green bamboo on it, with a short poem attached. The pattern was intact, but the poem was very imaginative.

It says:

The love between mountains and rivers lasts longer, and the soulmates talk together under the moon.

We share the joys and sorrows together, and love is like gold that will never be hurt.

Yan Ruchen's face darkened slightly as he looked towards Si Hongyin.

Si Hongyin quickly defended herself, "Ruchen, listen to me. What I embroidered clearly depicts a joke about sharing hardships and friendship. Friendship is like gold and can never be broken. I simply wanted to express my gratitude to Brother Ziye for helping my sect!"

Song Ziye sighed softly, closing his eyes and blaming himself, as if regretting not checking the contents of the handkerchief sooner. Yan Ruchen looked at Si Hongyin with a complicated expression and asked softly, "Is this handkerchief really yours?"

Si Hongyin looked at the work she had embroidered herself and hesitated, "It's mine...but I really didn't write the poem like that..."

Yan Ruchen sighed lightly, his expression becoming even more serious. He stopped looking at Si Hongyin and saluted Qiu Shui Jian Ji instead, apparently asking for advice on how to proceed next.

Qiu Shui Sword Lady sighed even more heavily.

Naturally, she had to deal with the trouble caused by her own apprentice. Yue Lingwu and Jin Yunche could only frown and sigh, not knowing what to say. Qing Yuanzi, after repairing the Sutra Library, asked to go into seclusion again, so he had some free time.

Now, there is a senior disciple from Tianjian Pavilion, a senior disciple from Zixiao Lingjing, and a senior disciple from Ziwei Society in the audience. One foot of her father got into trouble, and the next foot her daughter got into trouble too. It is really a strange thing. Qiushui Sword Lady is now in a headache and wishes she could just follow Si Xuanqing.

In addition to them, another disciple under his seat was kneeling in the corner next to him.

This disciple had hinted to her earlier that Si Hongyin and Song Ziye were too close, but she was so focused on investigating Si Xuanqing's death at the time that she didn't take it seriously. Who knew that this disciple's words were even more serious than she knew? When she brought her in for questioning today, she didn't expect that the truth this disciple knew was even more explosive than she had imagined. He brought the evidence directly with him:

The spiritual realm records the scene of Song Ziye and Si Hongyin hugging each other wetly in the cold spring.

The evidence is irrefutable.

Si Hongyin explained that she went to the cold spring that day to look for evidence of Guan Shanyu's collusion with the demons, and she ran into Song Ziye by accident. She got wet because she was searching in the spring, and the hug was because Song Ziye was comforting her not to be too sad, and she lost control of her emotions and fell into his arms.

Song Ziye's testimony was consistent with hers, but it was unknown whether they had exchanged confessions beforehand.

The disciple who reported the incident was named Song Yin. She was the one who was scolded by Si Hongyin when Yan Ruchen went to Ziwei Society that day.

I don't know if she was holding a grudge and wanted revenge, but she did produce evidence of Si Hongyin and the other woman hugging each other. It was impossible to clear the evidence of a single man and a single woman hugging each other at night.

Qiushui Sword Princess was racked with headaches. It was originally just a trivial matter within the sect. Yan Ruchen and Si Hongyin hadn't officially engaged yet; their relationship was limited to mutual admiration. Even if Si Hongyin was dating either of them, that was a matter for the three of them to resolve internally.

As a master, she only needs to remind them not to go too far.

What really gave her a headache was that this matter had somehow spread outside the sect and caused a lot of uproar at the foot of the mountain.

There were rumors in the outside world that Si Hongyin, the daughter of the leader of Tianxuan Taoist Sect, and Song Ziye, the eldest disciple of Zixiao Spiritual Realm, were in love with each other. In order to be with Song Ziye, Si Hongyin cruelly abandoned the son of a lowly prostitute.
