The Book Soul Chronicles: Godslayer

After dealing with Chu Xingyun and the Foundation Establishment stage soul behind him, Ye Qingyang rested for a while and announced to the outside world that Doctor Chu had gone out to collect rare medicinal herbs and his return date was uncertain.

Although some people still had doubts, wondering why Doctor Chu had gone out to collect medicinal herbs again after just returning, Ye Qingyang explained that Doctor Chu's health was severely depleted and he had been searching for rare medicinal herbs. Unfortunately, after many years of searching, he had not been able to gather all the herbs required for the prescription, and was still missing two very rare herbs. Recently, he had heard about the relevant information and decided to go and find out.

People were convinced by this reason, after all, Chu Xingyun's health was indeed not very good, especially in recent years he looked pale and his walk was not as energetic as before.

Especially when she saw the sadness in Ye Qingyang's eyes when he mentioned this, her heart softened even more. She thought that this child had been learning medicine from Chu Xingyun since he entered the sect, and they must have a deep bond. She was worried that his master's health might not last much longer.

Ye Qingyang's reason for developing the romance plot was to cover for himself. Even if everyone knew that Chu Xingyun was dead, he could successfully clear his name and find the most suitable excuse to leave the sect without arousing suspicion.

Moreover, Ye Qingyang also conveyed three messages through this play.

First, Chu Xingyun may be dying, but I have a deep bond with him and often treat injured disciples in the sect. It is evident that I have received his true teachings and my medical skills are definitely not weak. I am of value and you cannot ignore me or even make things difficult for me just because Chu Xingyun is not here.

Secondly, he went out to find extremely rare medicinal herbs and his return date is uncertain. Who knows what might happen to him and he might die out there? No one would be surprised. The higher-ups in the sect should consider having someone else take over his work, such as himself or by inviting someone with better medical skills to be a guest elder. He should gradually be forgotten.

Third, Ye Qingyang is a person who respects his teachers and elders and values ​​relationships, so you can rest assured about me. I am not a cold-blooded, heartless, or ruthless person who turns his back on others. There is no need to be afraid of him or rush to deal with him.

As expected, Ye Qingyang's performance of showing deep affection between master and disciple earned him praise from many righteous and sentimental people, and he also made some useful connections and expanded his network.

The higher-ups of the Tiangang Sect had no doubts whatsoever. Seeing Ye Qingyang like this, they were even more reassured, feeling that he couldn't cause any trouble.

The sect leader, in particular, had invited Chu Xingyun back to the sect as a guest elder because of Chu Xingyun's kindness and his miraculous medical skills. However, he never expected that Chu Xingyun's reputation in the sect would grow so high, which affected the interests within the sect and made the sect leader somewhat uneasy.

However, he could not take direct action. Firstly, he was wary of the man's skill and unpredictable strength; secondly, his sect was indeed lacking someone with such superb medical skills, and the loss would be immeasurable; and thirdly, the man had a high reputation, and if something happened, it would definitely be investigated thoroughly. If the matter was exposed, he would become the target of public criticism and get himself into trouble for no reason.

However, Ye Qingyang's actions brought a turning point to the situation. If Chu Xingyun died while searching for medicinal herbs, or if someone killed him to steal the herbs out of jealousy, it would be perfectly reasonable, and he could just take the blame for them.

If all else fails, just say he's missing. As long as no clues are found, there's no way to prove anything.

As for Ye Qingyang, he could use some tricks to make him replace Chu Xingyun. Over time, those people would forget about Chu Xingyun. Moreover, Ye Qingyang seemed easier to control. If he disobeyed, no one would care if he was killed.

The sect leader and the higher-ups, these old foxes, were all calculating in their minds, but they never dreamed that a little fox had already taken their conflicting interests into account and was using them as pawns.
