Even the God of Quick Transmigration Needs an Assessment
Chapter 96 The Falsely Accused Little Cultivator 25
Hearing that Han Ziyan had been imprisoned in the Immortal Prison, she burst out laughing. Finally, he was in. It was hard for her to have been so evasive and cautious with him all this time, yet she was still outmaneuvered and almost got herself killed.
What an annoying person, no, what an idiot.
Xuanqing was relieved to see that her face was rosy and she was all smiles, and that she was not affected by what had happened. Being betrayed and schemed against by a disciple was not a happy thing.
Thinking of something, Xuan Qing said, "If Junior Sister is awake, come with me to see Master. He cares about you a lot."
Yuewu nodded. Her body was stiff from lying down for so long; it was time to move around. Her master was so kind, handsome, generous, and caring towards his disciple.
After tidying herself up, Yuewu followed Xuanqing to see Xuandu. Xuanqing rode ahead on his sword, while she sat on the spirit boat, which lessened her fear of the high sky.
It's a challenge for me as well.
Upon arriving at Xuandu's cave, the swaying bamboo shadows and the ancient-style architecture complemented each other perfectly. It didn't seem like the residence of a powerful immortal, but rather like the home of a hermit who had been living in seclusion for many years.
Yuewu was already very familiar with this place. She liked this master and would often bring him good things to see. She would even save a copy of Ji Ci's new products for him. The master-disciple relationship had soared.
As their relationship deepened, her words carried more weight. She began to speak ill of Han Ziyan, first arousing Xuan Du's suspicions, and then telling him about her doubts about Han Ziyan.
Fortunately, Xuan Du was quite perceptive. He didn't tell her she was overthinking things, but instead told her to provide evidence. In the end, he arranged for Xuan Shen to go to the secret realm with him while he searched for clues outside. The sect's ability to find the spy who had been lying in wait for many years so quickly was largely due to Xuan Du's efforts.
I was overjoyed; my master is such a kind person!
Upon seeing Xuan Du, she gave him a simple bow, then stared at him with a beaming smile, anticipating his next instructions, revealing her adorable and somewhat silly demeanor.
Seeing her silly expression, Xuan Shen, who was sitting to the side, couldn't help but laugh out loud. "What are you standing there for? Something terrible has happened to you, and you're still laughing."
Yuewu then noticed Xuanshen sitting to the side and suddenly realized, "Oh, Senior Brother is here too."
Xuan Shen was annoyed. How could she not see such a handsome guy sitting to the side? She was just pretending not to care.
At Xuan Du's prompting, Yue Wu sat down next to him, and Xuan Shen also pursed his lips and shut up under Xuan Qing's gaze.
Hearing Xuan Shen's gloating, Yue Wu was curious. She hadn't fallen into their trap and had even turned the tables on them. Now that the spies had been eliminated and Han Ziyan had been arrested, what could possibly happen to her?
I wonder if Han Ziyan will pull some kind of trick again.
"Master, has something happened again?"
Xuan Du paused for a moment, then his clear, cold voice flowed from his throat as he recounted everything in detail, "Regarding the matter of the demon spies ambushing the sect, after a thorough investigation, the sect leader immediately discussed it with all the major sects. As Han Ziyan's master, and having once been possessed by a demon, coupled with your background, some people have been using this as a topic of discussion about you..."
Xuan Du's words were already very tactful. Yue Wu's background has always been controversial, and she is even associated with a demon spy, which is undoubtedly a handle for others to use against her. Yue Wu can imagine what those people are saying about her.
They said she was nothing more than a scourge to the sect, a traitor to the immortal sect, and a remnant of evil, and that she should be imprisoned and kept under strict guard. She heard these kinds of things quite often when she first arrived.
Yuewu was puzzled. How could the grudges of the previous generation fall on her head? Although there was a traitor in the Qilian family who colluded with the demons, the actions of one person had already made the entire Qilian family pay the price. It was wrong to place the seeds of resentment on the original owner.
The original owner was just an infant in swaddling clothes at that time, and couldn't bear such a heavy burden.
She sighed silently. No wonder the demon race would scheme against her; she was at a loss for words to defend herself.
The great war between the immortal sects back then resulted in heavy casualties, and the immortal sects were caught off guard. One of the reasons for this was that the demonic cultivator from the Qilian family secretly helped the demon race break through the barrier.
The immortal sects hated the Qilian family to the extreme. Even when the Qilian family was in trouble, not a single person offered to help them, coldly watching them fight like dogs.
After the great war, with many relatives and friends dead or wounded, they needed an outlet for their pent-up resentment and grief, which all fell on the original owner of the body.
The original owner was a perfect entry point to sow discord between Xuandu and the Immortal Sect.
However, if you want to get rid of her, you need to produce evidence; she's not like the original owner who could be manipulated at will.
Thinking that patience will lead to a brighter future, others will only take advantage of you and push their luck.
So you have to be assertive. It doesn't matter if you're right or wrong, the key is not to lose your composure, lest you be bullied by those self-righteous sycophants.
Yuewu's eyes darted around, and she came up with many ideas to roast people. She wouldn't let herself be bullied like the original owner, leaving herself helpless.
We must at least protect our master and two senior brothers.
Seeing that his three disciples were in front of him, Xuan Du took the opportunity to express his thoughts. Yue Wu's brows twitched when she heard this. "Master said he wants to leave the sect!"
She knew that Xuan Du had always had this idea, but now was the time when her master was ambushed and killed by the immortal and demon factions because he left the sect at this time.
On second thought, it didn't seem so bad. Things hadn't gotten to the worst possible point. Thanks to her efforts, her reputation among the disciples was still quite good. She hadn't gone mad and killed any disciples like the original owner had. To everyone else, she was a victim.
Moreover, with Han Ziyan and the others exposed, a war between immortals and demons is inevitable. It's not impossible for her to leave after the conflict is resolved. Rather than staying in the sect and being criticized, she prefers to travel around and live a carefree life.
He then raised his hand to indicate, "Wherever Master goes, I will go. As long as Master has made up his mind, that's fine."
Xuan Shen rolled his eyes at her again, calling her a bootlicker. Then, seeing Xuan Qing raise his hand, he quickly followed suit, saying, "Master, we are the same, we swear to follow you to the death."
Xuan Du's black lines, there's no need to be so exaggerated.
With a slight nod, he made the decision. Even with a formidable enemy at hand, he wasn't so heartless. They weren't really leaving the sect. Did Yuewu still remember how Xuandu almost suffered a great loss to leave? He was just going to be a carefree, unassuming manager, so he wouldn't have to pay any price.
Upon arriving at the main hall, a group of people dressed in flowing white robes appeared to be some kind of immortals.
Yuewu understood immediately; apart from those she had met before, the others must be from other sects.
A man in front, who looked to be in his thirties or forties, stared at her with a cold glare, then looked away with disdain, which displeased Yuewu.
But as she walked along, she also discovered quite a few people with attitudes like men. The original owner must have had a terrible reputation in the immortal sect.
He cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Greetings, Sect Master and Elders."
Even if she were to leave, she couldn't let others think she was tacitly shirking her responsibilities. So she took the initiative and proposed to be relieved of her duties and leave the sect to cultivate.
Xuan Du and his two senior brothers also bowed to express their wishes.
The sect leader was speechless for a moment. One by one, they wanted to leave. Wasn't this forcing him to leave?
He kindly advised, "Junior brother, your niece is young and prone to making mistakes. You shouldn't follow her in her foolish ways. We just want her to stay put for now. Once the check-up is complete and everything is fine, everyone will be happy."
Yuewu frowned. Wasn't the goal simply to imprison her?
She looked displeased, but she knew they wouldn't give up until they found evidence. The last war between immortals and demons had already cost them dearly, and they couldn't afford to repeat the same mistake this time. Even the smallest problem couldn't be ignored.
He was blunt: "Then you can try soul-searching, stop with the beating around the bush."
Moon Mist's words startled everyone. Soul searching was indeed the quickest method, but it was also the riskiest. If one was not careful, one's soul would be damaged, resulting in either becoming an idiot or losing one's life.
Xuan Du hadn't expected Yue Wu to say such a thing. He looked over with concern, his gaze falling on her with a hint of reproach.
Such recklessness is really inappropriate.
The sect leader pondered for a moment, then confirmed with her again, and finally agreed.
As the sect leader, he naturally had to prioritize the sect. If the matter of Moon Mist wasn't thoroughly investigated, it was inevitable that some people would use it as a topic to slander the Qingyun Sect.
The sect's reputation must not be offended.
Everyone agreed that this method was feasible. As for the task of searching the soul, it couldn't be entrusted to Xuan Du, since the two were master and disciple and there was no guarantee that they wouldn't cover for each other.
It was the sect leader who invited the Supreme Elder to personally intervene.
Standing gracefully in the main hall, her expression serene, her spirit was so strong that she had no fear of being turned into a fool.
Hmph, bring it on!
