Refuse to trample on the pride of heaven

Chapter 240 Framed

Almost all the disciples of Wenxian Sect came back. Not long after, Tao Yin waved his hand and temporarily closed the sect. He then began a vigorous operation to eliminate the undercover agents. The disciples were on high alert and reported the existence of undercover agents everywhere. The Discipline Hall was extremely busy.

Mental fatigue cannot be offset. Even if the body does not feel tired, the disciples who returned from the Discipline Hall were listless. Lu Wensheng also temporarily cancelled the usual homework in the Discipline Hall.

Duan Jiashu had many opportunities to go to the room where Lu Wensheng worked, but he always looked at it from afar. The bottle containing liquid magic energy was picked up and put down several times.

He knew the reason why the Great Elder gave him this thing - the liquid demonic energy was black, but colorless when used. When applied to objects used by Lu Wensheng, the first person who touched them would be silently invaded by the demonic energy. When the time came to check, he would be able to find out the exact result.

He was so confused that he did nothing for several days and was often distracted, which was noticed by his fellow disciples.

"Brother, what's wrong with you recently?" Wu Feipeng looked at the absent-minded Duan Jiashu with concern - was he from the evil sect and made some stupid demands again?

"Nothing, I'm just a little tired lately. The undercover thing is really..."

Wu Feipeng didn't ask much. They had just finished their mission to investigate Wu Long's undercover report. When they returned, they saw many disciples gathered outside the Discipline Hall. They looked at each other and hurried back.

I squeezed in, and as expected, I saw Lu Wensheng and the others inside.

"Brother! What happened?!"

Shi Yubai's lazy voice came: "If we want to investigate undercover agents, we have to start from the Discipline Hall first, otherwise we will be worried."

Duan Jiashu could only feel his heart pounding. He did not dare to look at Lu Wensheng. He watched Ji Yanli's disciples enter the room. Ji Yanli beside them also looked calm. He felt that there should be no problem.

“Big Brother! We found this in Brother Lu’s room…” A disciple with a strange look on his face came out holding something—it was a fragment of a magical weapon used by the Demonic Society.

Duan Jiashu: “???”

It seems that there is an undercover agent among the people who are searching... Although Lu Wensheng was a little surprised, he was very calm - if there is a problem around him, the system will remind him, and these fragments are obviously the work of the people who are searching.

[Fuck it, it was just a frame-up, fuck the bastard, I found it! Fuck him! ]

All the disciples who were searching came out. Listening to the system's chirping and sweet talk, Lu Wensheng fixed his eyes on the face of one of the disciples. The other person noticed his gaze and avoided it with a slightly unnatural look.

“How could it be our senior brother!” When the result came out, before Lu Wensheng could say anything, the disciples of the Discipline Hall were the first to explode with anger.

Tang He was so angry that he wanted to rush over, but was stopped by other disciples: "The person conducting the search is an undercover agent, right? How can you say such a thing?!"

Ji Yanli was also very surprised, with an inexplicable look on his face. He thought for a moment and said, "Let's go first."

"Why do you take my brother away?!" If they really took this trip, wouldn't their brother be directly charged with collusion before the results came out? !

Lu Wensheng waved his hand to comfort him. Before he could say anything, Shi Yubai looked "angry" and said, "Our senior brother won't do that. He is innocent and is willing to cooperate with the investigation."

Unable to help but give Shi Yu a blank look, Lu Wensheng felt his fist itch was about to strike out. Tang He gave Shi Yu a blank look in displeasure, and Wu Feipeng also glanced at him.

Ji Yanli didn't say anything and made a gesture of invitation. Lu Wensheng also cooperated. The disciples brought by Ji Yanli wanted to follow, but Ji Yanli waved his hand and went alone with Lu Wensheng, and called two trusted disciples.

Liu Jiqian rushed over after receiving Yu He's message and met them on the road. He was originally in a hurry, but after seeing the two of them, he breathed a sigh of relief and his expression softened a lot.

"Senior Brother Liu, you've come at the right time. As the chief, it is my duty to do this." Ji Yanli's words were flawless. He, who was once considered rigid, now knows how to be tactful.

Liu Jiqian didn't say much, but nodded and said, "Of course I won't refuse."

The sight of the three of them walking together did not allow others to notice anything, and they just thought they were discussing something important.

They went to the main hall where Ji Yanli worked. People coming and going were disciples of Tao Yin. When they saw Lu Wensheng, they were as if they had seen a ghost and could not help but peek. Ji Yanli asked his disciples to make tea, and Lu Wensheng drank the tea, remaining calm the whole time.

"No matter what, I'll trouble you to stay here for a while so that I can keep you here to discuss."

“Should have stayed.”

"Recently, the flowers in the garden are blooming vigorously. They should be gorgeous and fragrant, but for some reason, some flowers seem to be covered with dust and their brilliance is gradually dimming... I am sorry to make you laugh, I am really not good at taking care of flowers and plants."

Lu Wensheng looked out the window. Ji Yanli picked up the teacup naturally. Lu Wensheng didn't turn his head, as if he was really looking at the flowers that Ji Yanli was talking about.

"As long as the roots of flowers and plants are not dead, those individual ones should be cut or pinched decisively to avoid affecting the whole plant. It is inevitable to have dead branches and leaves. Isn't the purpose of taking care of flowers and plants to make them revitalize and show their beauty?" Lu Wensheng said, turning back and smiling.

Liu Jiqian: "But to eradicate it, we must also catch the influencing pests."

Ji Yanli chuckled: "That's right, but it's not easy to catch insects. You have to wait patiently. It's not good to make too much noise, so as not to alert the enemy."

The three of them drank tea in tacit understanding, all of them knowing what was going on.

----------

"Have you heard? Lu Wensheng was captured by Ji Yanli and his disciples! It is said that he is a suspect!"

"Could it be a misunderstanding?"

"Why did you take him away if it was a misunderstanding? This is not innocent! Otherwise, why don't you arrest someone else?"

"You can only judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart! Lu Wensheng appears to be righteous on the surface, but those who don't get along with him are gone now!"

"Yes, everyone knew about his relationship with Jiang Jinfeng and Jiang Xiuyuan. But what about now? They are all dead. Jiang Xiuyuan died during training, and Jiang Jinfeng died during the seal. They didn't even reveal the details!"

"Forget about Jiang Xiuyuan. But wasn't Lu Wensheng not there when Jiang Jinfeng went to seal it?"

"If he's not here, we can find other ways! Isn't his absence just the right thing? We can clear him of suspicion!"

"Besides, isn't Lin Xingzhi from Piaomiao Valley in love with Senior Brother Liu? Wasn't he recently...?"

"Oh my god... it's scary when you think about it."

Recently, these rumors suddenly spread in the sect, and the disciples of the Discipline Hall who were specifically instructed by Lu Wensheng not to participate were so angry that they wanted to explode on the spot. So they had to vent their anger on the people in charge of order, and those disciples were immediately miserable.

(Ji Yanli's operation: Bringing disciples to search is a responsibility, not asking too many disciples to leave is a favor, reducing the seriousness of Lu Wensheng being taken away as an undercover agent, letting Liu Jiqian participate for a reasonable reason, maintaining Lu Wensheng's dignity, and not mentioning specific things in his speech, so as to avoid being exaggerated by people with ulterior motives - it's okay to think it's far-fetched, I made it up)
