When Zhou Jingyue and Tao Fengzhi were taken to the main hall, they found that their master and Master Yin were there.

"Greetings to the Sect Master. Greetings to Master, Master Yin." Zhou Jingyue stood up after paying his respects, his hands hanging down. He didn't know what was going on, so he stood aside obediently.

After Tao Fengzhi bowed, he stood a little in front of Zhou Jingyue.

The sect leader seemed to be waiting for someone. He nodded and motioned for them to stand still without saying anything else.

Lin Xuxi changed out of the clothes that smelled of medicine and put on a flowing purple palace dress with wide sleeves, bamboo leaves and wild winter chrysanthemums. She wore the same hair crown that Tao Fengzhi had given her before.

The flowing purple color is already very noble, and when worn by Lin Xuxi, it looks extremely expensive, and indeed looks like what a princess in the human world should look like.

Tao Fengzhi couldn't take his eyes away, and his gaze followed her all the way up.

"Tao Fengzhi!" Zhou Jingyue called out in a low voice.

Such a naked look is too offensive and abrupt.

"Yeah." Tao Fengzhi lowered his head after realizing that he had overdone it, but he kept thinking about the glance just now.

After Lin Xuxi bowed, he was asked to sit down.

Now that she and Jiang Sihan have broken their bond, as a junior sister, she chose to sit below Senior Brother Yin.

Jiang Sihan didn't know what he was thinking. Ever since Lin Xuxi came in, his eyes had been empty and unfocused. You said he was looking somewhere, but that wasn't it.

He deliberately avoided any place where Lin Xuxi appeared. What was he afraid of?

"I wonder why the sect leader called us here?" Lin Xuxi asked.

Yin Li took this opportunity to turn his head and glance at his junior sister who was not far away from him. Then he slowly pulled his gaze back and sat up straight. He resumed the cold and indifferent look that outsiders were familiar with.

"A letter has arrived from the Sword Sect." The Sect Master raised his hand and released a stream of spiritual power. A dozen densely packed lines of words appeared in the air. These were the contents of the letter.

There are quite a few words, and they question in a very eloquent manner why the Xuanyu Sect is the enemy of the Jian Sect, why they want to embarrass Elder Hong Qing in public, and why they want to spread rumors and slander the Jian Sect.

Moreover, his tone was unfriendly, demanding that Xuanyu Sect must give an explanation to Jian Sect, let Lin Xuxi and Zhou Jingyue apologize to Hong Qing, and also hand over the Xuan Lei Pagoda with both hands, otherwise Jian Sect would not let them off easily.

In addition to the Sword Sect, there are four or five other sects of varying sizes that have signed their names.

Zhou Jingyue and Tao Fengzhi looked at Lin Xuxi at the same time. They didn't dare to speak first and waited to see what Master Lin's attitude would be.

"Are these words true?" the sect leader asked Xier.

Based on Xier's temperament, he probably wouldn't do these things. There might be some hidden secrets that he doesn't know about.

Therefore, the sect leader did not hold them accountable immediately, but instead called these people over to ask them in detail.

"Some of it is true, for example, Elder Hong Qing bullied the junior Tao Fengzhi and spoke rudely to me and Zhou Jingyue. If I hadn't stopped him, I'm afraid he would have killed Tao Fengzhi." Lin Xuxi turned around and gave Tao Fengzhi who was standing below him a look.

Tao Fengzhi immediately understood, stepped forward, bowed and said respectfully: "To reply to the Sect Master, it is indeed so. Elder Hong Qing wanted the Xuan Lei Pagoda, but because the Xuan Lei Pagoda had already been given to the Xuanyu Sect, Elder Hong Qing made a big fuss and hurt me." After saying this, he deliberately rubbed his left shoulder.

Hinting to the Sect Master, this is where he was injured.

"Yes." Zhou Jingyue also stood up and echoed: "Many people were there at that time, and they can all testify!"

"ridiculous."

Jiang Sihan interrupted Zhou Jingyue and cast a disgusted gaze at Lin Xuxi. With a look that said, "I know who you are," he sneered, "Elder Hong Qing has a good reputation, but who are you? How could Elder Hong Qing slander you?"

Even the Sect Master frowned upon hearing this and asked, "Han'er, even if Xi'er isn't your Daoist Companion, she's still your Junior Sister. Why don't you trust her and instead trust an outsider?"

"Disciple, let's just talk about the matter at hand." Jiang Sihan didn't think he was wrong and looked down at Zhou Jingyue. His eyes were filled with warning, as if to say: If you help Lin Xuxi again, you'll be in trouble.

Zhou Jingyue was startled by the look and hurriedly looked away, but his respect and fear for his master remained.

"Han'er, be careful with your words." The sect leader didn't believe Hong Qing's words. He turned to look at Xi'er and asked, "Is it because of the conflict caused by the Xuan Lei Pagoda?"

"Yes." Lin Xuxi nodded and explained, "Hong Qing thought the Xuan Lei Pagoda would appear at the auction. When he found out it wasn't there, he became furious and attacked Tao Fengzhi. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I stepped in to help him. I never thought Hong Qing would be so rude to me, so I taught him a lesson."

"Yes, I can testify." Tao Fengzhi nodded.

Jiang Sihan: "You are in cahoots with each other, your testimony is not credible at all."

"Senior brother." Yin Li didn't know why her senior brother had such great malice towards her junior sister. He always protected Hong Qing and didn't care about the friendship between fellow disciples at all.

Even if we're not Dao partners, we're still brothers and sisters, right? Why be so aggressive?

"Which of what I said is not true? Tao Fengzhi and Zhou Jingyue are both on Lin Xuxi's side. Their testimonies are not credible at all." What Jiang Sihan couldn't stand the most was Yin Li's attitude of always doing good for Lin Xuxi.

Lin Xuxi retorted sarcastically, "Yes, our testimony is not credible if we stand aside. The Sword Sect is on the same side as these people, so their words are credible, right? As you said, no one in the world of immortal cultivation can be trusted because they are all black and white. It's either me or the Sword Sect."

With a smile in her eyes, she exposed Jiang Sihan's false and impartial face.

Jiang Sihan's face flushed with anger, and his hands on his knees clenched into fists.

"Alright." The Sect Master interrupted the two and said in a deep voice after some thought, "If it's really as you say, then the Sword Sect's demands are indeed excessive. I will refuse their apology in the name of the Xuanyu Sect and tell them not to bother with it."

Not to mention that the incident was caused by the Jian Sect, even if it was really the Xuanyu Sect's fault, he would not let Xier apologize.

He was in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and the Xuanyu Sect was one of the largest sects in the world of immortal cultivation. How could it be threatened by the Sword Sect?

"Yes."

Everyone retreated and reunited at the door.

Jiang Sihan said coldly, "Troublemaker!" After scolding Lin Xuxi, he flicked his sleeves and left in a hurry.

Seeing him like this, Lin Xuxi didn't even bother to pay attention to him.

"I never thought that the Sword Sect would be the first to complain." Tao Fengzhi tapped his chin with a paper fan, thinking: Do you really think that Jinbao Pavilion is easy to bully? He just makes money by being kind, not a soft persimmon.

"Yeah." Zhou Jingyue now has no good impression of Hong Qing.

Yin Li was surprised and asked, "Junior sister, Hong Qing entered the immortal world with you, how could this happen?"

"You can only know a person's face but not his heart. He started to hate me from the moment Jiang Sihan and I became Taoist partners. It's normal for him to do this now."

What Lin Xuxi is most worried about now is that the sect leader will be in trouble. This Hong Qing is really shameless.

"My Jinbao Pavilion is not a pushover either."

If Tao Fengzhi is really provoked, he can make one promise or even ten. What promises can Hong Qing make to those sects?
