The fairy love story between Bi Yao and Li Yuan after traveling through time
Chapter 8: The dilemma of false accusation and the emergence of ambiguity
In the Immortal Gate Assessment, the beautiful lady was framed and trapped
"Old man, I... I'm lost." Bi Yao decided to act pitiful, maybe he could get some information out of him.
In this desolate wilderness, there is not even a ghost in sight except for this old man who looks a bit like an immortal (or maybe sloppy).
The old man stroked his beard and smiled mysteriously, "Lost? I see you're going to take the Qingfeng Sect's assessment, right?"
Bi Yao was shocked. Could this old man be the legendary Sweeping Monk?
Seemingly ordinary, but actually quite impressive?
She cautiously probed: "How... did you know?"
The old man laughed: "Little girl, there is only one immortal cultivation sect in this hundred miles, Qingfeng Sect. What else could you be doing here if not to take the assessment? You can't be here for an outing, right?" Bi Yao smiled awkwardly. This old man is quite humorous.
Under the old man's guidance, Bi Yao finally arrived at Qingfeng Gate.
Having learned from the last lesson, she decided to keep a low profile this time and never show off like last time.
The assessment process was much more complicated than she had imagined, with tests of spiritual roots, examination of character, swordsmanship competitions, etc. It was basically a one-stop service for the exam.
However, these are a piece of cake for Bi Yao, who has modern knowledge.
She plays the pig to eat the tiger, and seems clumsy on the surface, but in fact she can always get out of danger and performs very well in the assessment.
This excellent performance naturally caused dissatisfaction among some people.
A woman in a goose yellow dress was staring at Bi Yao with jealous eyes.
She is an inner disciple of Qingfeng Sect, and her name is Senior Sister Sun.
"Humph, a wild girl who came from nowhere actually dares to steal my limelight!"
Senior Sister Sun found a timid Senior Brother Li, whispered a few words in his ear, and handed him a small treasure bag.
Senior Brother Li looked at the brocade bag in his hand, then looked at Bi Yao not far away, with a conflicted look on his face.
The key part of the assessment has arrived - the formation competition.
Bi Yao was concentrating on breaking the formation when suddenly, Senior Brother Li pointed at her and shouted, "She's cheating! I saw her using a forbidden technique!"
This sudden accusation left Bi Yao stunned.
Forbidden technique?
She hasn't even learned the Qingfeng Sect's spells, so where did the forbidden techniques come from?
People around her began to point fingers at her and talk about her.
Bi Yao felt like she had been splashed with dirty water and had no way to defend herself.
Just then, a familiar voice rang out: "Brother Li, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want!" Li Yuan appeared in the crowd without anyone noticing. He walked up to Bi Yao and looked at her firmly: "Do you believe me?"
Bi Yao felt that she was more wronged than Dou E. What was going on?
She is an independent woman in the 21st century, but she was accused of "cheating" in an unknown small sect. It is simply ridiculous!
This feeling is like being reported for cheating in a game and then being confirmed by the official. It's suffocating.
The people around her seemed to have turned into keyboard warriors, pointing fingers at her and talking nonsense. The air was filled with the atmosphere of "disbelief, misunderstanding and non-forgiveness", making her want to dig a hole and bury herself on the spot.
But who is Bi Yao?
It’s Niuhulu Bi Yao!
Having been struggling in modern society for many years, what kind of storms has she not seen?
It’s just a small scene, so let’s sprinkle some water!
Taking a deep breath, Bi Yao's brain started working at high speed, turning on the Sherlock Yao mode.
Senior Brother Li's accusations are full of loopholes and are as full of logical errors as an elementary school student's composition.
One moment he said he saw Bi Yao holding a secret book of forbidden techniques, and the next moment he changed his statement and said he saw her chanting a spell. There wasn't even a consistent statement. Was he sure he wasn't trying to make fun of her?
"Senior Brother Li, you said that I used a forbidden technique. May I ask what it was? Which sect did you come from? Where did you use it? Show me the evidence! Don't just talk nonsense. Do you think this is a vegetable market where you can throw dirty water at will?" Bi Yao asked questions in rapid succession, and each sentence hit the point directly. Senior Brother Li broke out in a cold sweat, his eyes flickered, and he hesitated for a long time without being able to make any statement.
“I…I…” Senior Brother Li was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. His eyes were wandering around, as if he was looking for help.
His gaze for help fell on Senior Sister Sun, but he found that she was looking at him with an expression of enjoying the show, and had no intention of helping him at all.
Li Yuan watched Bi Yao arguing with reason, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
He patted Bi Yao's shoulder gently and whispered in her ear: "Don't be afraid, I believe you." These five simple words gave Bi Yao great strength.
At this moment, Senior Sister Sun, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke: "Senior Brother Li, you don't have to be afraid of her, tell her everything you know!" There was a subtle threat in her tone, which made Senior Brother Li even more flustered.
He took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a cold voice coming from outside the crowd...
"Wait!" A cold voice flowed like an icy spring, instantly quieting the noisy crowd.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw an old man in a green Taoist robe with an immortal look walking slowly towards them.
The old man has white hair and a youthful face, and he is in good spirits. His every move exudes an aura of majesty without even being angry.
"Master!" When Senior Brother Li saw the old man, he shouted as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
This sudden change instantly perked up the onlookers, who stretched their necks as if expecting a big drama of the year.
If the barrage of comments could be rampant, the screen would definitely be full of "666", "Here comes my brother", "Peanuts and mineral water" and so on.
Bi Yao's heart skipped a beat: the leader is here, this must be a big deal!
I hope this leader is not a foolish old man, otherwise I will really be "socially dead" today.
The headmaster walked up to the crowd, glanced at Bi Yao and Senior Brother Li, and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
Senior Brother Li immediately recounted the entire incident with exaggerated details, including, of course, slandering Bi Yao and defending himself.
He described in vivid detail how Bi Yao cheated and how arrogant he was, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
Bi Yao listened to Senior Brother Li's "performance" without any ripples in her heart, and even wanted to applaud him.
With such acting skills, it would be a shame if he didn’t go into acting.
She even began to suspect that this Senior Brother Li was an actor hired by Senior Sister Sun, specifically to scam her.
Just as Senior Brother Li was spitting, Li Yuan suddenly stood up, gently pulled Bi Yao behind him, and bowed to the headmaster, saying, "Headmaster, I think there's something fishy going on here. Senior Brother Li's words are without any real evidence. It's too hasty to conclude that Miss Bi cheated based on just one side of the story."
Li Yuan's words were undoubtedly a challenge to the leader's authority, but they were so powerful that no one could refute them.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Bi Yao was full of trust and encouragement, which made Bi Yao feel warm in her heart.
The headmaster looked at Li Yuan deeply, then turned his gaze to Bi Yao and said slowly, "Miss, what do you want to say?"
Bi Yao smiled slightly, took a step forward, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Master, the innocent are innocent, and the turbid are turbid. If you want to accuse someone, you will always find a pretext. I am upright and have nothing to fear from my shadow."
The headmaster stroked his beard, his eyes deep, as if he was thinking about something.
At this moment, Senior Sister Sun came out, bowed to the Sect Master, and said, "Sect Master, I have something to report."
Bi Yao thought to himself: Here it comes, the show is about to begin!
She turned to look at Senior Sister Sun, a playful smile on her lips.
Senior Sister Sun leaned close to the headmaster's ear and whispered a few words.
The headmaster's expression gradually became solemn, and his eyes moved back and forth between Bi Yao and Li Yuan.
Finally, he fixed his gaze on Bi Yao and slowly said, "Miss, please come with me."
Bi Yao followed the headmaster to a quiet room.
This quiet room is decorated in an antique style, with the scent of sandalwood lingering in the air, making people feel relaxed and happy.
It's the atmosphere, which is a bit too serious, like a trial in three courts.
Bi Yao secretly complained in her heart: Is the practice of "taking someone away for investigation" also popular in this world of cultivating immortals?
The headmaster gestured for Bi Yao to sit down, then went straight to the point and said, "Young lady, I heard that you are not from our sect, but you possess remarkable spiritual power. I wonder where your master came from?"
Bi Yao thought to himself: Here it comes, a classic question!
She smiled slightly and replied, "Master, please understand. I grew up in the mountains since I was young. I got an ancient book by chance and started practicing on my own. As for my master, I have nothing to tell you." It's a standard script for a time traveler, very stable!
The headmaster stroked his beard, a gleam in his eyes: "Miss, do you know that concealing your origins is a taboo in our sect?"
Bi Yao’s inner thoughts: Big taboo?
The only way is to have a golden finger!
But he had an innocent look on his face: "Master, everything I said is true, not a single lie. Is it possible that nowadays, even casual cultivators are not worthy of participating in the immortal sect assessment?" Bi Yao secretly glanced at the master's expression. Alas, it seems that this old man is not buying it.
At this moment, Li Yuan's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Master, disciple has something to report!" This rescue came at the right time!
Bi Yao silently gave Li Yuan a thumbs up in her heart.
Li Yuan walked into the quiet room and bowed to the Sect Master, saying, "Master, I can prove that what Miss Bi said is true. I saw her cultivating alone in the mountains, without any elders from the sect accompanying her."
The headmaster looked at Li Yuan, then at Bi Yao, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "Well, if that's the case, I won't ask any more questions. Young lady, you can continue to take the test."
Bi Yao and Li Yuan exchanged glances and saw joy in each other's eyes.
However, Senior Sister Sun will definitely not give up. The subsequent assessments will probably be even more difficult.
The assessment continued, and Bi Yao won all the way, showing amazing talent and strength, which attracted the attention of many people.
Senior Sister Sun watched from the side, gritting her teeth, but could do nothing.
Finally, Bi Yao reached the last level.
The examiner for this round was a stern-faced middle-aged man. He looked at Bi Yao and said slowly, "The final round tests your character. You only have one chance. If you fail, you will be eliminated."
Bi Yao took a deep breath and nodded to show that she was ready.
A jade slip suddenly appeared in the middle-aged man's hand and he handed it to Bi Yao: "Inject your spiritual power into it."
Bi Yao took the jade slip and was about to inject spiritual energy into it when she suddenly heard Li Yuan's voice ringing in her ears: "Wait!" There was a hint of imperceptible anxiety in his tone...
