Bound to Mary Sue, I am against involution in the world of immortal cultivation

Yu Changqing obviously didn't quite understand her behavior.

But it doesn’t matter, he can accept it even if he doesn’t understand.

"Leave this place now. The sect has already sent people to investigate the incident. We won't wrongly accuse you," Yu Changqing said. "There are also disciples on the way."

"Isn't that just right?"

Fan Ning smiled and sat back on the chair, his right leg slightly raised. "Since the backup firepower is sufficient, why should I walk?"

Ling You sensed something and slapped himself on the forehead, his helplessness visible. "You're not still planning on staying in a place like this, are you? The environment here is too bad. If you really don't want to leave..."

Yu Changqing looked at him silently.

Ling You turned his head away, pretending not to see his suggestive look.

"Go stay in that old man's room," he said, kicking the clan leader on the ground. "Since he dared to do this, he should be prepared to be killed in return."

Now that he is in this state, there is no possibility of a tomorrow even if he wakes up. It is better to use his remaining property to take care of the big Buddha he invited in.

It is easier to invite gods than to send them away... We must let them experience the truth for themselves.

"This is not safe. What if someone acts rashly..."

"You shouldn't say this to Fan Ning," Ling You patted his shoulder. As soon as he got closer, he smelled the fresh smell of blood on the other person.

"Are you injured?" He frowned and asked, "You look seriously injured. Why don't you go back and recuperate?"

"The other disciples have been taken to various places to travel and practice. Calculating the locations, I'm the closest to here." Yu Changqing just frowned, but didn't think anything of it. He took the initiative to say, "Protecting my fellow disciples is what I should do, not to mention that it's just a minor injury."

"Take it," Jiang Biehe took out the pill.

In the past, she might not have carried this amount of pills with her, but after Fan Ning's involvement in several events, Jiang Biehe realized it and prepared a lot of pills that she could carry with her.

Yu Changqing did not refuse this time.

He stood under the candlelight, and his expression, which had been unhappy since he entered here, finally relaxed a little.

"What's going on with him?" After a brief inquiry, Yu Changqing finally noticed the person on the ground whose presence had diminished.

Apart from the sect leader lying on the ground and the two disciples who were tied up and knocked unconscious... there was a pair of eyes watching them quietly.

Yu Changqing became a little wary after vaguely recognizing the other person's identity from the tattered pieces of cloth.

"The unlucky scapegoat who was pushed out."

It was obvious that Fan Ning was not a cultivator who would cover up for others out of kindness. After hearing the question, she paused for only a second and then casually described the incident in which the other party was accused of being bullied by the disciples.

Ling You added to the story from time to time, and also began to embellish what Fan Ning said.

As he listened, Yu Changqing's expression gradually became serious.

"...It seems that nearly 90% of the people in this sect are involved. This is a big deal. I need to ask the sect for help."

Watching the number of participants increase from "more than half" to "90%", the other monks who had never seen such lies were stunned.

Jiang Biehe covered Young Master Ji's mouth as he almost shouted, so no one who saw this scene tried to correct him.

...Fellow Daoist Fan Ning and the others always have their reasons, right?

This sentence popped up in everyone's mind, like some kind of death line that would be crossed. Although they were still confused, they controlled their mouths firmly.

With Yu Changqing's help, the restrictions on the cultivation of several people were quickly removed.

The dungeon is not a good place after all, not to mention that someone may break in at any time.

After listening to Yu Changqing's analysis of the pros and cons, the monks did not clamor to stay. Instead, they followed Yu Changqing, who looked reliable, as obedient as chicks being taken away.

Young Master Ji is also among them.

He actually wanted to stay, and was about to grab Fan Ning's thigh and lie on the ground howling - but he couldn't beat Ling You, nor could he persuade the other cultivators who came to visit him specially.

The secret dungeon fell silent once again.

Fan Ning looked at the two familiar people beside him, his long legs resting on the table, and he suddenly closed his eyes lazily.

"If you have any questions, ask him. Now that the noisy people have left, it's time for me to rest."

Ling You walked silently behind her, blocking the chair from tilting backwards while supporting her head which was tilted down and had nowhere to rest.

Jiang Biehe glanced at them, dragged the wounded on the ground to the other side of the cell.

This place is not often used. Apart from some straw that has been there for who knows how long, the most there are are small dents on the wall.

The distribution is disordered and the lengths are different.

It looks like someone dug it out with fingernails.

Jiang Biehe didn't have any other tricks in his interrogation. He would throw the person onto the straw, point at the dents on it, and ask, "You know something, right? Don't hide it."

"The truth will come out anyway."

"...This is an internal matter of Qianle Sect," Gu Huaisheng stiffened his neck, as if he was still hesitating about something.

But this is really not convincing.

From the moment they provoked them, Qianle Sect was destined to be turned upside down.

As for internal matters...

"The Yueli Sect is quite fast. The first batch of disciples will arrive around noon," Jiang Biehe said matter-of-factly. "If you think you can defeat the number one sect, then it doesn't matter if you don't say it."

"..."

There was silence.

Gu Huaisheng once again showed that expression as if he had been smashed through.

After a long pause, he choked up and, without further resistance, spoke dejectedly, "Don't you already know? You guys... probably know even more than I do."

"The sect leader collaborated with the bandit leader, using dishonorable techniques to absorb the cultivation of other disciples... In the past, disciples often disappeared, and I just thought they were attacked by the rampaging demonic cultivators. I didn't expect that they were buried in the hands of their own people!"

"You're lying," Jiang Biehe said, his expression unchanged as he exposed the truth. "So many loopholes... If you weren't complicit, why didn't you investigate each one in detail?"

That was a disciple of his own sect, not some bug that could be disappeared without any consideration!

"So many disciples are in trouble...and no one is coming to cause trouble?"

Silence again.

Gu Huaisheng's eyes flickered for a while, and suddenly he sighed heavily.

"Most of those missing are children from poor families, some are even orphans... Who will seek justice for them?"

"I wouldn't do such a disgusting thing." Gu Huaisheng glanced at Jiang Biehe with a calm expression and said, "Mo Sheng is my good friend who I practiced with in childhood. If it weren't for today, I wouldn't be willing to doubt him."
