Chapter 304 Who is the murderer?

"What happened?" Lin Qingyue asked Zhong Jingzhi. Zhong Jingzhi looked at the disciple who was captured.

"I just saw him acting suspiciously, and then Elder Xing became like this. The head doctor from the Rebirth Valley examined him and said he wasn't injured, but he just couldn't wake up."

"This matter is of great importance. I will report to the headmaster now. I also ask that you two stay here to look after Elder Xing."

"Okay, go ahead and don't worry. Shi Jingbai and I are here." Lin Qingyue and Shi Jingbai nodded. After Zhong Jingzhi left, Lin Qingyue looked at the captured disciple and felt that he looked more and more familiar.

"Aren't you the disciple who gave me the paper cat? What's going on?"

The disciple looked at Elder Jiang and found that Elder Jiang was looking at him unmoved, so he quickly crawled towards Elder Jiang.

"Elder Jiang, I am innocent! It's not you—"

"Pa!" A crisp slap sounded.

The beautiful woman frowned in disgust: "When did I ask you to do something? Even now, you still want to slander me."

"Elder Jiang! It was clearly you who asked me to give Elder Xing an aphrodisiac, and I didn't have the chance to do it. How could it be me who did it?" Afraid of being targeted by Elder Jiang, the disciple finished these words at an extremely fast speed.

After hearing this, not to mention the noises from the people around them, Lin Qingyue and Shi Jingbai both felt a little curious.

Why did Elder Jiang of the Beast Taming Sect ask his disciples to give Elder Xing of the Compassion Temple an aphrodisiac? Didn't they know that Buddhists are forbidden from having romantic affairs?

Although a small number of Buddhist practitioners can marry on their own, Elder Xing is obviously not among them!

Elder Jiang's face was blue, red, black, and green, like an overturned color plate.

The words were practically squeezed out from between his teeth: "So what? If you didn't do it, why are you kneeling there? Untie him!"

The two sword cultivators who had tied up the disciple shook their heads: "He has not yet cleared his suspicion. Unless he takes the devil's oath, we will not let him go."

Elder Jiang looked at the hesitant disciple impatiently: "Are you taking the Heart Demon Oath now? Do you still need me to teach you?"

"No, no, no." The disciple quickly made a vow to his inner demon.

The content is also very cruel, such as no offspring, no chance of becoming an immortal, being struck by five thunders, etc.

The people around him couldn't stand it anymore, but fortunately he quickly completed the inner demon oath.

The inner demon made a vow, and there was no sign of backlash.

Elder Jiang knew that he had lost face today. "Is that all right? I have things to do with the Beastmaster Sect, so I'll leave now. I'll come back for the next sword competition."

After saying that, he left without stopping.

"Elder Jiang! Wait for me!" The disciple also wanted to leave, but was caught by the sword cultivator.

"You can't leave now."

The disciple of the Beast Taming Sect could only stop. He didn't notice Lin Qingyue walking in front of him.

"Do you have any more paper cats? I'd like to buy some more."

Ji Xiaofei took out all the paper cats from the storage bag and stuffed them into Lin Qingyue's hands.

"Here you go, here you go. All for you."

Lin Qingyue was holding a few bags of paper cats and asked him how many spirit stones he wanted.

Ji Xiaofei looked up and found Lin Qingyue. He waved his hand and said, "It's you. No need. These are not worth a few spirit stones."

"So where should I buy a paper cat if I want to in the future?"

Ji Xiaofei: "All the shops under the Beast Taming Sect's name sell it, just go there and buy it."

Lin Qingyue thought about it and took out some magical flowers and herbs for him.

Ji Xiaofei took a look and saw that it was a magical flower or herb that the beastmaster liked. He took it and said, "Thanks. How did you know that the beastmaster needed this kind of flower or herb?"

"I saw it in the library. It's said to have been written by a great master of your Beast Taming Sect."

"That's it."

Lin Qingyue returned to Shi Jingbai's side and waited with her for the arrival of the headmaster and others.

When the headmaster arrived, the others had already left.

"Why don't you move Elder Xing to the side hall?"

Lin Qingyue and Shi Jingbai moved the old man to a side hall, and then everyone else was driven out, leaving only Lin Qingyue, Zhong Jingzhi, Shi Jingbai, Ji Xiaofei and the headmaster.

The head of the sect looked at Ji Lingfei who was kneeling down and asked, "What exactly is going on?"

Ji Lingfei repeated what he had said to Zhong Jingzhi: "This is what happened. Elder Jiang disliked Elder Xing and asked me to give him an aphrodisiac. On the way, I met Lin Qingyue, a disciple of the Ziyang Sword Sect, and was delayed because of our conversation. Before I could give Elder Xing the aphrodisiac, I was caught by Zhong Jingzhi."

The headmaster stroked his beard and said, "But when I first came here, I didn't see the Elder Jiang you mentioned."

Ji Xiaofei: "That's because Elder Jiang left because he was afraid of being implicated!"

Lin Qingyue stepped forward and gestured to speak.

The headmaster noticed: "You are Lin Qingyue, right? I have heard of your name. What do you want to say? Tell me."

Lin Qingyue: "Reporting to the headmaster, Ji Lingfei just made a vow to the inner demon in public, and it didn't backfire. The murderer should not be him."

The headmaster looked at the unconscious Elder Xing and said, "The person who came here didn't intend to take Elder Xing's life. It's very likely that he is targeting my Ziyang Sword Sect."

"So I'd like this young brother to bear the brunt of this and pretend to be the murderer who caused Elder Xing to fall into a coma. Once we find the real culprit, we will definitely clear your name and offer you the Purple Sun Sword Sect's apology. However, regarding your and Elder Jiang's plan to drug Elder Xing, we will deal with it after Elder Xing wakes up."

The corners of Ji Xiaofei's mouth, which had just been raised, fell down when he heard the following words.

"I understand and will certainly follow your instructions."

……

……

The headmaster was very busy and had no time to deal with this matter, but in order to show his attention to it, he asked his eldest disciples Du Rui and Zhong Jingzhi to handle it together.

"Then can we two go back?" Lin Qingyue asked Du Rui who rushed over.

Du Rui is a swordsman with a scholarly air. His clothes are so simple that he doesn't look like the eldest brother of Zi Yang Sword Sect.

"Junior sister should have a competition tomorrow, so you should go back and get some rest and prepare for the competition. Brother Zhong and I are here."

Lin Qingyue returned to his residence, and the matter would be resolved tomorrow morning.

It turned out that it was done by a disciple of the Thirteen Yue Sect, who said that he saw people from the Beast Taming Sect and the elder Xing of the Mercy Temple having a dispute.

So he wanted to take this opportunity to create hostility between the Cibei Temple and the Beast Taming Sect, and to cause chaos in the Ziyang Sword Sect.

It's not medicine but a small spell. He will wake up on his own after a few hours.

Now the disciple was escorted back to the Discipline Hall of the Thirteen Yue Sect overnight. This time, the elders of the Thirteen Yue Sect promised that they would not give them any chance of anything happening.

This matter was not spread out, and it was only Zhong Jingzhi and Lin Qingyue who told it.

The head of the sect intended to suppress the matter and compensated Ji Xiaofei a little more.

This matter ends here. More rumors are that Elder Jiang of the Beast Taming Sect likes Elder Xing of the Mercy Temple, so he asked his disciples to give him an aphrodisiac.

The rumors sounded full of gossip, and Lin Qingyue was still listening to them analyze the backgrounds of Elder Xing and Elder Jiang.

"Lin Qingyue, it's your turn."
