Chen Ye looked at the swirling tea, somewhat puzzled: "Then why is Ji Yueze a disciple of the Lingyin Sect?"
"That’s a long story..." Li Qiuyun was about to continue, but saw Chen Ye pointing outside the window: "Qiuyun, there’s a beautiful little bird over there."
The girl was surprised and turned to look, only to see emptiness outside the window, with no sign of any birds.
When she turned back, Chen Ye had disappeared!
"Uncle Chen?"
"Ahem, Qiuyun, since it’s a long story, I’ll research the zombie puppets while you tell me the tale."
Chen Ye’s voice came through the partition.
What?
Even in such a short time, he wants to cultivate...
Uncle Chen would rather stay with zombie puppets than with me?
Though it’s for the study of the Puppet Refining Technique...
In the past, countless disciples of the Lingyin Sect would rather not cultivate and stay around me!
The girl’s eyes flickered with a trace of unwillingness, she bit her lip:
"Well... In such a cultivation clan, although blood ties serve as bonds, once the family grows large, factions easily arise. The lineage of Ji Yueze used to be the main branch of the Ji Family, but unfortunately, their talents withered, and two Foundation Establishment cultivators fell one after another. However, in the side branches, someone successfully established a foundation..."
Inside the carriage, the atmosphere was momentarily delicate.
Li Qiuyun recounted the stories of the Ji Family through the partition, her voice tinged with faint resentment.
Chen Ye, who was honing his skills, roughly understood the course of events.
In short, a great dispute erupted within the Ji Family, and the line of Ji Yueze was defeated, leaving the wounded injured and the dead deceased.
Thus, Ji Yueze defected from the Ji Family and joined the Lingyin Sect.
The Lingyin Sect has always had some minor frictions with the Ten Thousand Puppet Sect. Although they were not exactly welcoming of Ji Yueze, they couldn’t outright refuse him either.
After all, by accepting Ji Yueze, it could also attract other forces under the Ten Thousand Puppet Sect in the future.
But who would have thought that eight years ago, Stone Mirror Town fell.
And Ji Yueze happened to be the disciple guarding Stone Mirror Town, with shadows of the Ten Thousand Puppet Sect...
In fact, Ji Yueze was just a small outer disciple at the time and definitely couldn’t have participated in the fall.
But due to his ambiguous status, some disciples of the Lingyin Sect suspected him, especially the families of disciples who died in the fall of Stone Mirror, were discontent with Ji Yueze’s presence.
The higher-ups of the sect convened,
Killing Ji Yueze was definitely not easy.
Firstly, Lingyin Sect, being a prestigious righteous sect, would not kill randomly like the Demon Path.
Especially at this time, many cultivators in the outside world were paying attention to the matter, making it worse to damage the sect’s reputation.
Secondly, if he were killed, how could they dare to defect other forces in the future?
So they expelled Ji Yueze from the Lingyin Sect...
"Phew..."
Listening to the girl’s crisp voice narrate,
Chen Ye exhaled a long breath, angrily saying:
"This Lingyin Sect, such a large cultivation sect, still talks about evidence, might as well just kill him!"
He was very dissatisfied, if they had killed Ji Yueze earlier, he wouldn’t have this trouble now.
"Ah?"
Li Qiuyun laughed and shook her head,
"It’s not about evidence. If the sect really suspected Ji Yueze, what need is there for evidence... After all, Ji Yueze is simply a defector from another sect, who happened to be at Stone Mirror Town. Also, some families of deceased disciples extend their resentment to him. If they killed Ji Yueze for this reason, who would dare to defect to the Lingyin Sect in the future?"
However, despite saying this.
Li Qiuyun knew Chen Ye was just speaking casually.
The next moment, she saw the man straighten his back, walking out from behind the partition with dignity.
Hmm?
Why does Uncle Chen seem a bit different from before?
Why such a righteous look on his face?
He seemed to carry an aura of integrity...
The girl’s sensitive nose moved slightly, seemingly catching a scent, but couldn’t define what it was.
Seeing Li Qiuyun sniff slightly, Chen Ye snorted coldly:
"What are you sniffing! That’s the smell of refining zombie puppets!"
"Ah?"
The valiant girl’s face turned pale, quickly covering her mouth in distaste,
"No wonder it’s so unpleasant, the smell is so strong..."
