After dressing up as cannon fodder, I beat everyone in the house until they cried.

"You! Ridiculous!"

After listening to Ling Miao's speech, Elder Xu was shocked for a moment. How could someone admit that he had done something wrong without any fear at all?

"Do you know what a big mistake you have made! So many people have died, but you act so stubborn! What do you think of human life!"

If he hadn't attended Ling Miao's apprenticeship ceremony and knew that she was the young apprentice of Cang Wu, the leader of Yuehua Sect, her arrogant and indifferent attitude would have been enough for him to punish this girl severely!

When he goes back, he must complain to the Yuehua Sect Master and ask him to imprison this girl first, and then give her a good lecture.

Ling Yu was ecstatic when he saw this, but his face was very sad.

"Elder, my sister is just young, ignorant and disobedient to discipline. Maybe she just doesn't understand that it is the duty of us cultivators to protect the common people. Please forgive her, elder."

As soon as Ling Yu said this, except for the elders who came after him and nodded happily, almost all the direct disciples present frowned.

Even Shen Tu Lie glanced at Fang Zhuchen with complicated eyes.

You, this little junior sister from Lihuo Sect, talk like farts.

The old men who came later didn't know what happened, but the people present did.

If Ling Miao hadn't broken the magic weapon at that time, all of them would have been arrested again now, and they might not have been sacrificed before the elders of Qianji Pavilion arrived. Although breaking the magic weapon caused The consequences are serious, but this is also a helpless move, isn't it?

Besides, in the final analysis, wasn't it because the soul-suppressing talisman you Ling Yu hid destroyed Xuan Si's barrier and made things completely out of control?

It’s okay if you don’t reflect on it, but you are still talking about such nonsense here, which is a bit serious.

The looks in the eyes of the other progenitors were also similar.

Fang Zhuchen:......

Although he is the senior brother of Lihuo Sect, he devotes himself entirely to cultivation.

In the past six months, he had occasionally seen his junior sister Ling Yu working hard in cultivation. He heard that she had received a good inheritance from the Lin family, and her simple and pretty style and appearance happened to be liked by all decent disciples, so he I developed some natural affection for her.

Who knew that this little junior sister could do such a thing and say such a thing at the critical moment.

Fang Zhuchen frowned rarely.

It seemed that his feeling when he took Ling Yu out for training for the first time was right. This little junior sister like him was indeed not very smart.

On the other side, Elder Xu looked at Ling Miao coldly.

"Although you are young, since you are the direct successor, you have to shoulder the responsibility of the direct successor. How can you use your young age as an excuse! I will definitely inform your master about today's events and take you back for good discipline! These deaths Ordinary people, you must also give an explanation!"

Duan Yunzhou saw this and was about to speak for Ling Miao, but she herself had already spoken calmly.

"Elder, you don't know the whole story, how can you come to a conclusion so easily? Is this how you fulfill your obligations as an elder?"

Elder Xu was stunned when he heard this.

Unexpectedly, this girl dared to contradict him, and she was very angry for a moment.

What does it mean not to know the whole story! ?

Didn’t the young disciple of the leader of the Lihuo Sect just now say that the magic weapon was broken by Ling Miao.

Ling Miao himself admitted that he broke the magic weapon knowing that it was related to the lives of these ordinary people.

Doesn’t this count as knowing the whole story?

He felt that his anger was hard to suppress, but he still forced himself to speak.     "Then tell me, what do you mean by the whole picture?"

He wanted to hear how this ridiculous child defended himself.

Ling Miao glanced at the corpses in the room.

"I'm not going to make any excuses. Since the elders are here to investigate the cause of the matter, let's start with the causes of death of these locals. I believe you will make a conclusion in your mind after checking the conditions of these locals."

"Hmph, okay, let's check it out and let's see what tricks you can come up with!"

Elder Xu's first impression of Ling Miao was not good, and he didn't want to say a good word to him.

But after all, they were here to investigate this matter, and they still had to do what they had to do. He turned around and motioned to another elder who was following him to check the bodies of the locals.

Ling Miao stopped talking, crossed her arms, and waited calmly while staring at Elder Xu.

After a while, the elder returned to Elder Xu with a solemn expression, and whispered a few words in his ear with a confused expression.

Elder Xu was shocked when he heard this.

"What? You mean, those people have been dead for a long time, and they are just moving around with the help of puppet threads?"

"Yes."

"..."

If these locals had died a long time ago, wouldn't it mean that Ling Miao's smashing of the magic weapon had no direct relationship with the deaths of these people?

Elder Xu was slapped in the face as soon as he said what he said. At this time, his heart was complicated and he glared at Ling Yu.

She didn't say anything about such an important thing just now. He didn't expect that one day these good babies would actually say such distorted things?

The reason why he believed Ling Yu's words so credulously was because, except for the special ones from the Yinwuzong, all the other four sects were synonymous with Genzheng Miaohong, so he never thought that they could Will tell lies.

Ling Yu shrank, a little aggrieved: She didn't lie... She didn't know about this either.

She turned around and glared at Ling Miao: But this girl must know this situation! Then why didn't she say it earlier? Could it be that she dug a hole on purpose? hateful! I was tricked again!

Ling Miao glanced at Ling Yu briefly and then looked away: Crazy.

Elder Xu didn't look very good, but he knew that he was at fault for this matter.

But he just said harsh words, and now he surrendered. Wouldn't it look too shameless? He made up for himself in a deep voice.

"Even if this is the case, you shouldn't smash the magic weapon directly! You should wait for our Qianji Pavilion people to come and deal with it!"

Ling Miao: "They have entered the ghost realm. The reason why I took action at that time was because they had already waved their swords at my fellow disciples."

Elder Xu sighed, "But what do they say... I was once a human being and was the object of your protection. Little girl, do you know the weight of the word "protecting the common people".

Ling Miao looked at Elder Xu quietly for a few seconds before retorting.

"You keep saying that it is the responsibility of cultivators to protect the common people, but may I ask, do we cultivators count as common people? Those who were killed by these ghost cultivators and locals who conspired to kill, and the fellow disciples who died here, do they count as common people? ?”

"I would like to ask, they are obviously the accomplices who killed our fellow disciples, but we still have to protect them. Will the fellow disciples under the Nine Springs feel chilled?"
