On the other side.
"Tell me, did you kill Blue Dawn?”
Bai Qinghe was half-lying on the bed with a pale face. He asked Jiang Yun, who was kneeling beside his bed, coldly.
"Master, do you still not understand me?”
"Although I have a grudge with Junior Brother Lan, I have already obtained the position of sect master. Why would I do such a stupid thing?”
Jiang Yun kept kowtowing and defending himself with an aggrieved expression.
"Hey!"
Bai Qinghe sighed heavily and said no more.
Actually…
He did not believe that Jiang Yun would harm his fellow disciples.
But now, Lan Tiejiang and the four elders were accusing Jiang Yun, and all the suspicious points were pointing at Jiang Yun.
Even as his master, he could not protect his personal disciple.
"Father, Senior Brother Lan is just missing. Moreover, Eldest Senior Brother would never kill Senior Brother Lan.”
"On the contrary, Elder Lan and the four elders are aggressive and want Eldest Senior Brother to give him an explanation. What exactly does he want?”
Bai Zhirou said indignantly.
"What do they want to do?"
Bai Qinghe smiled bitterly and murmured,""If a wall falls, everyone will push it. Elder Lan naturally wants the position of sect master.”
Bai Qinghe's words entered her ears.
Bai Zhirou's expression changed, and Eldest Senior Brother Jiang Yun was completely flustered.
"Master, then…then what should I do?”
Jiang Yun felt uneasy and could only ask Bai Qinghe for instructions.
"My dear disciple, I have yet to recover from my injuries. Even if I recover, I am still no match for Elder Lan. Since he wants the position of sect master, you can give it to him. I believe he will not make things difficult for you.”
Bai Qinghe smiled bitterly.
Actually…
Bai Qinghe had already noticed that something was wrong a few months ago.
Since he was seriously injured and bedridden, several elders often came to visit him in the beginning.
But after a month, the five elders never came again.
At that time, Bai Qinghe finally understood that he could no longer control the Iron Sword Sect.
Now.
Lan Tiejiang and the four elders seemed to be making things difficult for Jiang Yun, but they were actually forcing him to give up the sect master position.
His intentions were clear.
The current him simply couldn't beat Lan Tiejiang.
Moreover, he still had a disciple and a daughter. Giving the sect master position to Lan Tiejiang was also a helpless move.
At this moment.
Bai Qinghe was no longer as high-spirited as before. He looked more like an old man who had lost his fighting spirit.
"Father, you can't. The Iron Sword Sect was founded by you. How can you give it to Elder Lan?”
Bai Zhirou hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
"You're too naive. Now that the situation is dire, even if Father doesn't give up the position of Sect Leader, do you think Elder Lan can't seize it?”
"Alright, it's settled. There's no need for the two of you to say anything else.”
Bai Qinghe sighed.
"Father?"
Bai Zhirou wanted to dissuade him.
It was a pity.
Bai Qinghe waved at Bai Zhirou and closed his eyes without saying a word. His entire body was exuding a dispirited aura.
…….
There were two sides to the story.
Ning Chuan didn't care about the power struggle in the Iron Sword Sect.
To put it bluntly.
The trivial matters of the Iron Sword Sect didn't interest Ning Chuan at all.
As for the matter of him killing Lan Chen and that woman, Ning Chuan believed that he had done it flawlessly. No matter how hard the Iron Sword Sect dug, they would never suspect him.
At this moment.
Ning Chuan had more important things to do.
Just watch.
Ning Chuan had a simple and honest smile on his face. He was carrying two food boxes to the elixir room.
……
Inside the pill room.
"Junior Brother Ning, we've known each other for four years, but this is the first time you're treating me to a drink.”
"If there's anything you need, just say it. As a senior brother, if I can help, I'll definitely do my best.”
The disciple of the elixir room, Wang Shuo, raised his glass and drank with Ning Chuan while swearing with a face full of alcohol.
"Senior Brother Wang, Junior Brother does have a presumptuous request.”
"Shixiong has been concocting pills in the pill room all year round. I wonder if Shixiong has any Scrophularia seeds?”
Ning Chuan asked with a silly smile.
"Scrophularia seeds?"
"Why do you want the Scrophularia seeds?" Wang Shuo was slightly startled.”
Ning Chuan pretended to sigh." Sigh, Senior Brother, you don't know. I heard that Scrophularia is an extremely precious medicinal herb. Ten years of Scrophularia can be sold at a high price of ten thousand taels of silver."”
" Junior Brother has the heart to get some Scrophularia seeds and plant them in the herbal garden. If you can really plant them successfully, the money will naturally…"
Ning Chuan stopped here.
However, Wang Shuo's eyes lit up, and he suddenly became interested.
"Junior Brother, you mean…?" Wang Shuo probed.”
Ning Chuan smiled and scratched his head."I'm not afraid that Senior Brother will laugh at me. If Senior Brother can find the seeds of the Scrophularia Root, with Junior Brother's experience in growing herbs over the past few years, I can definitely grow the Scrophularia Root.”
"After a few years, when the Scrophularia is exchanged for money, I'm willing to split the profits with Senior Brother Wang.”
Hearing this.
Wang Shuo was excited and said impatiently,""Is what Junior Brother said true?"
"Shixiong must be joking. When have I ever lied to Shixiong?”
Ning Chuan said seriously.
She looked at Ning Chuan's honest face.
He also remembered that he had sold him an extremely poor quality pill furnace and cheated Ning Chuan of a hundred taels of silver.
Wang Shuo already believed Ning Chuan's words.
"En, although the Scrophularia Root seeds are precious, it's not impossible to get them. I'll think of a way and inform you when there's news.”
"However, Junior Brother, don't forget your promise!”
Wang Shuo rolled his eyes.
"Of course. Then I'll have to trouble senior brother.”
Ning Chuan laughed, got up, and left.
Naturally, Wang Shuo personally sent Ning Chuan out of the elixir room.
And no matter how he looked at Ning Chuan, he felt that Ning Chuan was more pleasing to the eye.
After all, this kind of honest person was really rare nowadays. He actually gave her such a big advantage.
Wang Shuo snickered and quickly packed his bags. He was ready to go down the mountain to find the seeds of Scrophularia. He even imagined that he would become a rich man in the future.
It was a pity.
Wang Shuo did not know that the honest person he thought was not simple.
Only Ning Chuan knew who was taking advantage of who.
