After rebirth, the eldest sister voluntarily abdicated and gave way to the wise.

As the son of the most powerful elder in the outer sect, Cao Xian lived in a large courtyard that exceeded the standards expected of an outer sect disciple.

The courtyard has everything, including rockery, flowing water, pavilions, and towers, and each one of them fully reflects the Cao family's grandeur.

There were many servants and maids serving tea and water to Cao Xian. I heard that these were provided privately by the Cao family and were not paid by the Qiankun Sect.

The Qiankun Sect has never been partial to some disciples, and everything is done according to the rules. He broke the sect rules so blatantly, but no one from the Discipline Hall came to find him. This shows how stable Cao Shenyi's position in the Qiankun Sect is and how deep his roots are.

She was a direct disciple of Zhen Feng and was qualified to meet the Sect Master directly. Immortal Master Qingzhi would never show mercy. If she told Immortal Master Qingzhi what she had seen and heard today, Cao Shenyi, the outer sect elder, would not only be eliminated, but would also say that the Sect Master had suddenly softened his heart and would not take away his title. He would definitely be severely punished.

He brought her here so openly. Didn't he think that she would meet the headmaster and report their misconduct?

Or has he never thought of this possibility?

So how confident was he? She wasn't an outer disciple, she was under his jurisdiction.

Although - she really doesn't want to deal with these things.

After passing through countless doors, she finally arrived at Cao Xian's house under the guidance of Cao Shenyi.

At this time, Cao Xian was still lying unconscious on the bed, his face a little pale. A man was sitting beside his bed. He was broad-shouldered and had a burly figure with a thick beard on his cheeks.

It’s Cao Hu.

Unlike his burly appearance, he was carefully pressing the quilt at the four corners of Cao Xian's bed, his expression concerned and gentle.

When he heard the noise at the door, he immediately stood up vigilantly and looked over.

When his eyes met Cao Shenyi's face, he quickly retracted his vigilance and bowed deeply to Cao Shenyi: "Dad."

Then his eyes swept over Jiang Liqian next to him, and his respectful expression suddenly disappeared, replaced by an extremely angry expression. He summoned his axe and was about to hit Jiang Liqian.

Cao Shen stopped him with a quick glance.

"Xiaohu, don't be rude."

Cao Hu pointed at Jiang Liqian unwillingly and said, "Dad, she hurt my second brother so badly. Shouldn't I stand up for him and teach this ignorant girl a lesson?"

Jiang Liqian raised an eyebrow and spoke before Cao Shenyi could say anything: "Brother Cao, you misunderstood. Your brother was not injured by me. I was only here to see him on the orders of the elders."

"Besides," she said with a faint smile on her face, "there will be casualties in the arena. Isn't that normal?"

The implication is that it was Cao Xiancui's fault and had nothing to do with her, so if anyone was to blame, it wasn't her fault.

She didn't kill him, that was just the right thing to do, out of friendship among fellow disciples.

The world of cultivation is a place where the strong prey on the weak. If you don't have the strength and still want to show off in front of others, then don't blame others for being ruthless.

No matter how you look at this matter, he is not right.

Cao Hu was furious: "You!"

"Enough!" Cao Shen finally spoke up, interrupting the confrontation between the two. "Qian'er was hired by my father to look after Xian'er. No one is allowed to be rude to her!"

"And," Cao Shen swung his sleeves and glared at him, "Have you completed your training today? Are you still staying here? Are you planning to slack off?"

Cao Hu didn't have that many complicated thoughts. After being criticized by his own father, he had no way of scolding Jiang Liqian. He lowered his head and admitted his mistake to Cao Shen, then left to continue practicing. But before leaving, he still gave some instructions to the servants here, asking them to take good care of the second young master.

Also, he must not let Jiang Liqian, a person with bad intentions, get close to his second brother.

Cao Shenyi sighed at Cao Hu's departing back and asked someone to bring Jiang Liqian a cup of tea.

"The wing room next door will be cleaned up, and you will stay there for the next few days. If there is anything missing, please ask the maid to fill it up."

Jiang Liqian nodded.

Cao Shenyi wanted to say something, but looking at the quiet, well-behaved and sensible little disciple, he was inexplicably speechless.

It’s true...disciples with good qualifications look talented and beautiful, and are much more pleasing to the eye than others.

"In that case, I will be leaving now. I leave my son in your care."

Jiang Li bowed lightly without saying anything, which was considered as a silent agreement.

Cao Shenyi didn't stay any longer, without even looking at Cao Xian on the bed, and turned and left.

After Jiang Liqian and the others left, he frowned and strode to the bedside, took his pulse, and carefully checked his body for any injuries.

Sure enough, I found a slight red mark on his back.

Judging from the shape and depth of the red mark, it seems that someone attacked Cao Xian from behind with spiritual power, which caused him to vomit blood and faint.

At that time, all the disciples of Qimingzhai were under the arena, and there were only her, Cao Xian, and Cao Shenyi on the arena.

If it wasn't her who did it, then it could only be Cao Shenyi who did it.

Wasn't it said that Outer Sect Elder Cao cherished his youngest son? Why did he attack him and beat him until he vomited blood?

Is it just to frame her?

But she and Elder Cao had no past or present grudges, so why would he frame her? Moreover, even if he wanted to frame her, he could have found a more clever way. Why did he have to do it in public?

She couldn't figure it out.

I just can't figure it out.

Especially combined with Cao Xian's sudden strange behavior, she was even more confused.

Is it just to let her look after Cao Xian here?

She didn't believe that Cao Xian really disobeyed his father just to thank her for the forbidden area.

Jiang Liqian found a seat near the door and sat down, staring at the person on the bed without blinking. A trace of confusion flashed in her dark pupils, but was soon obscured by large patches of fog.

After being reborn, she didn't want to bother herself with the protagonist's love, hatred and vengeance. At the same time, she didn't want to become someone else's pawn without knowing the truth. She didn't know what Cao Shenyi's plan was, but if it really touched her bottom line, she wouldn't give him a single face.

It seemed that Cao Xian would not wake up for a while, so Jiang Liqian simply took out a few books about formations and read them carefully.

In her previous life, she focused on her swordsmanship, and was only mediocre at other things, not proficient. However, she had quite a lot of experience in formations. After all, to break and form formations, one needed to understand the operating principles of formations. She had also encountered many different kinds of sinister and vicious formations.

But to be honest, she doesn't really understand formations that well. At least with her current abilities, she probably can't even compare to her master's fingers.

Since she has accepted the number one cultivator as her master, she cannot be too much of a drag. At least when her master asks her a few simple questions, she cannot be unable to answer them all.

It's too embarrassing, not her style.
