Chapter 500 Let’s talk about it
The Second Elder sat down behind the desk, glancing at them. His gaze swept across Si Chuan's face, lingered on Luo Qing'an, and finally settled on Jiang Liqian.
"Tell me, what were you doing breaking into the Forbidden Tower at night?"
Si Chuan was about to speak when the Second Elder glared at him.
He was a "regular" at the discipline hall, and his mouth was full of greasy nonsense. The Second Elder had no intention of listening to his fabrications.
But this time Si Chuan really had something important to say. However, he had been scolded by the Second Elder many times, so he became timid when he saw him. After being glared at by the Second Elder, he dared not speak at all.
The Second Elder didn't ask Luo Qing'an. He had watched Qing'an grow up; she was well-educated, gentle, and caring, and she loved her fellow disciples the most. If he asked her, she would definitely take all the blame upon herself. So the Second Elder looked directly at Jiang Liqian, his meaning clear: he was waiting for this "disciple" valued by the sect leader to answer his question.
"Second Elder..." Luo Qing'an spoke urgently, wanting to say something, but was stopped by the Second Elder, who said he was too thin.
Before she could speak again, Jiang Liqian spoke first, replying neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Please forgive my impetuousness, but I insisted that my senior brothers and sisters accompany me into the Forbidden Tower at night because of the case of my second senior brother being wrongly accused of apologizing for the Golden Scale Key. Now, my senior brothers and sisters and I have found evidence, and I request that the elders take a look."
As soon as she finished speaking, Si Chuan immediately presented the "little bee" with the sealing array to the Second Elder.
The second elder intended to question him, but with just a light glance, his attention was drawn to the "breath" that the "little bee" had inhaled.
Boss Cang's face froze for a moment, then slowly hardened, and then his expression changed drastically. He didn't even have time to deal with Jiang Liqian and the others, and hurriedly gathered "Little Bee" and left the discipline hall, leaving the three of them kneeling below the hall, looking at each other, not knowing what to do.
In the end, Ji Huaiche told them to get up first, sit in the empty seats, and wait for the Second Elder to return before continuing.
Luo Qing'an asked if Fu Wennian could be released first, or if she could go see him, but Ji Huaiche refused.
Now that they have found evidence, releasing the person is only a matter of time. On the contrary, going to see the person against the rules could easily turn an innocent person into a guilty one, and add to the blame.
If the Second Elder is in a bad mood, they all have to stay in jail for a few days.
Luo Qing'an had no choice but to give up.
The Second Elder hurriedly left the Discipline Hall and immediately went to the Linglong Pavilion on the Array Peak, handing Si Chuan's "Little Bee" over to Sect Leader Qingzhi.
"Sect Leader, the aura is very faint, but... I suspect it is..."
Qingzhi held the "little bee" in his hand and examined it. His well-defined fingers gently brushed across the "little bee's" abdomen, and a very faint gray mist appeared at his fingertips.
Then he curled his fingers and tucked them into his sleeve.
He then handed the "little bee" back to the Second Elder.
"I will send someone to investigate, Elder, please rest assured."
The Second Elder nodded, but his expression remained solemn: "The situation this time is probably not good. We are willing to die ten thousand times without fear, but what have the common people done to deserve this? They should not have to suffer the same hardships as five hundred years ago. Otherwise, we would have no face to meet the heroes who risked their lives back then."
Qingzhi nodded, his expression calm and solemn: "Please rest assured, Elder, I will definitely consider the overall situation, protect the safety of all living beings, and will never repeat the same mistakes or bring about the end of the world again."
The Second Elder bowed to Qingzhi, then, remembering that the three children were still in the Discipline Hall, hurriedly took his leave.
Inside the Linglong Pavilion, Qingzhi revealed his palm. A wisp of mist darted wildly in his palm, struggling to escape. He stared intently at the mist, his five fingers slowly tightening. With a "crack," the sealing formation shattered, and the gray mist instantly dissipated into the cold air.
After the Second Elder returned to the Discipline Hall, considering that they were acting in the name of their senior brother and had indeed found crucial evidence, he did not severely punish Jiang Liqian and the other two. He only made them copy the sect rules ten times and forbade them from using any magical artifacts or spells.
Although they couldn't find out who stole the Golden Scale Key, the second senior brother was cleared of suspicion. Jiang Liqian, along with the eldest senior brother and the third senior sister, couldn't wait to go to the dungeon to bring the second senior brother out. The second senior brother was very happy to see them all, and when he saw Jiang Liqian, he even asked about their master.
Jiang Liqian told him exactly what the sect leader had told her master to carry out a secret mission, without missing a single word.
However, the second senior brother, who had just been laughing happily, suddenly turned pale and staggered forward. Fortunately, the third senior sister caught him in time.
"Wen Nian, what's wrong?" Luo Qing'an was so worried that she forgot to call him "Second Senior Brother" on the surface.
Fu Wennian looked at her, his chapped lips moving, but he couldn't utter a single word. The next second, he collapsed heavily into her arms.
"Wen Nian! Wen Nian!"
-
Jiang Liqian and her eldest brother Si Chuan stayed overnight in her second brother's courtyard, while her third sister took care of her second brother personally in the house.
People from Danfeng came to check on him and said that he was fine. His second senior brother had been seriously injured and was just recovering from a serious illness. He was not fully recovered and was suddenly overcome by strong emotional fluctuations, which caused him to faint temporarily. He will be fine after a good night's sleep.
Jiang Liqian didn't know why her second senior brother's emotions suddenly fluctuated so drastically, but the inexplicable unease she had felt earlier began to take hold of her heart again, making her restless.
Seeing that she was restless, Si Chuan comforted her for a few words and then made a few jokes to make her laugh.
Jiang Liqian was not a fragile person who liked to rely on others, but at this moment, with her senior brother by her side and her third senior sister taking care of her second senior brother, and their Zhenfeng family still intact, she felt much more at ease.
My home is there.
No matter how lost she feels, there will always be a place for her to rest and find peace.
She will always have family members to comfort her, encourage her, and be her support.
She doesn't have to bear everything alone.
"Senior Brother, will Second Brother be alright? Did I say something wrong that caused him to faint?"
"Don't overthink it. How could it be because you said something wrong? Don't worry, I know your second senior brother. Although he's petty, he's very broad-minded. He won't change his expression in front of important matters. This time, he must have been seriously injured. He was so happy to see us all coming to pick him up that he fainted. He'll be fine tomorrow."
Si Chuan patted Jiang Liqian on the back: "If you don't trust the senior brothers of Danfeng, don't you trust your senior brother me?"
Admittedly, Jiang Liqian felt that her senior brother was indeed unreliable, but hearing him say that made her feel much more at ease.
She and her eldest brother stood guard outside the second senior brother's house together, and sure enough, news came the next day that the second senior brother had woken up. She and her eldest brother quickly ran into the house to see him.
"Second senior brother!"
"Junior brother!"
