Chapter 133 This is covering up! Accomplices!
Just then, Elder Helian knocked on the door, and his voice carried into the room, "Patriarch Duanmu, the sect leader will bring Young Master Duanmu back to the sect to recuperate in an hour."

The head of the Duanmu family nodded, feeling somewhat relieved for no apparent reason.

No matter what, Duanmu Rong would never extend his reach to the Qingyu Sect!
Here.

Upon learning that Zhang Youli was taking them back, Lin Jinran gave Yin Zhongyu a few brief instructions and then left.

Yin Zhongyu, who had been forced to study until she was dizzy, could finally catch her breath.

An hour later.

Zhang Youli led a group of twenty-two people, plus two elders, directly back to the Qingyu Sect.

Back at the Second Precept Peak, Shen Youqing went to train his body, while Shen Quelin went to practice with the Crimson Flame Sword...

Everyone has their own things to do, and there are hardly any people around here.

Shen Youqing finished his body-training, and Meng Qinian arrived.

Looking at the ghost baby hiding under the shade of a tree, Meng Qinian said to Shen Youqing, "Ghost babies do have a certain degree of danger. If you want to raise one, you must ensure your own safety and the safety of others."

Shen Youqing looked at the little one under the shade of the tree, "She is usually very well-behaved, but if she senses danger, then it's hard to say."

What needs to be said needs to be made clear, lest she be hurt by the ghost baby and then blame it on her.

Meng Qinian's brows twitched slightly.

This ghost baby is quite powerful, and if it gets out of control, it will be a disaster. Without a doubt, this ghost baby is a time bomb.

Why did the sect leader agree to let Shen Youqing raise a ghost baby?
"..." Meng Qinian really didn't agree with Shen Youqing raising a ghost baby.

Putting aside whether the ghost baby would harm her, the level of danger alone is enough to make one's heart pound with fear.

"Mother, Mother~"

The ghost baby crawled uneasily toward Shen Youqing, and as the sunlight shone on her, she appeared perfectly fine.

Considering that the ghost baby should not stay in the sun for too long, Shen Youqing took out an umbrella to shield himself from the sun.

Meng Qinian looked at the ghost infant clinging to Shen Youqing and said in a dignified voice, "This matter needs to be discussed further. For your safety and the safety of others, I will take care of the ghost infant until a conclusion is reached."

"Please give me an exact time, Elder Meng." Shen Youqing stepped back to avoid Meng Qinian's attempt to take the ghost baby.

"How long will it take you to reach a conclusion? Will it be detrimental to the ghost baby? Also, what is the worst possible outcome?" Shen Youqing asked three questions in quick succession.

“Three days? No, send him to the forbidden area of ​​Shengwu Peak for strict guard.” Meng Qinian replied.

Shen Youqing responded and then handed over the ghost baby.

Looking at the little one with her dark eyes staring at him expectantly, Shen Youqing patted her head. "I'll come pick you up in a couple of days. Be a good girl and stay put."

The ghost baby was extremely reluctant to part with Shen Youqing, but she still obediently nodded.

After Shen Youqing watched Meng Qinian leave with the ghost infant, she saw several unfamiliar figures heading towards the teleportation array leading away from Erjie Peak.

Shen Youqing didn't think much of it and walked towards her residence.

only……

As Shen Youqing walked to the door, he stared at the challenge letters nailed to the door panel with a strange expression that eventually became unreadable.

Someone is so eager to come and die!
A moment later, Shen Youqing pulled out the dart and went to find Zhang Youli with several challenge letters in hand.

At Meng Qinian's request, Zhang Youli gathered many elders to discuss the fate of the ghost infant.

When Shen Youqing walked into the main hall alone, alarm bells rang in Zhang Youli's heart.

"Sect Leader Zhang, and all elders, may you enjoy your days in peace." Shen Youqing bowed respectfully with proper etiquette.

Seeing that Shen Youqing was still planning to try to reason with him first, Zhang Youli waved his hand and said bluntly, "Just say what you have to say."

Something bad is definitely not going to happen to her like this!

"Sect Master Zhang, this junior has come to lodge a complaint." Shen Youqing's straightforward statement stunned most of the elders in the hall.

You're coming here to complain with such self-righteousness?

Before Zhang Youli could speak, Shen Youqing said to himself, "There are quite a few people who have illegally infiltrated Erjie Peak in an attempt to harm the younger generation." After speaking, Shen Youqing revealed several throwing darts in his left hand.

Meng Qinian looked at the papers in Shen Youqing's other hand. If he wasn't mistaken, those should be several challenge letters.

"What are those papers in your hand?" Meng Qinian asked.

"I don't know," Shen Youqing said calmly. "The contents look like a challenge, but I think it's a way for them to cover up their murder."

Meng Qinian: ...

What a silver tongue!

Looking at Shen Youqing's calm and upright demeanor, Zhang Youli couldn't help but raise his hand to rub his temples.

“There are still marks left by darts on my door panel. Elders, you are welcome to go and check if you don’t believe me,” Shen Youqing said.

After reading the contents of the paper, one of the elders said speechlessly, "Isn't this just a challenge?"

"So this is a challenge to me?" Shen Youqing looked surprised. She weighed the dart in her hand and said sarcastically, "Anyone who didn't know better would think it was a death warrant."

Shen Youqing raised his hand in a salute, "If I happen to be cultivating inside the house and a dart breaks through the door, it would be a minor injury for me. If I were to suffer a qi deviation as a result, my future would be ruined!"

Although Zhang Youli felt that Shen Youqing was suspected of distorting the truth, what he said was true.

"That's true." Meng Qinian's calm yet stern voice rang out. "Since it's a challenge, why not present it openly and honestly?"

Such sneaky behavior is indeed problematic.

Shen Youqing weighed the dart in his hand, already having a guess in his mind.

"Second Precept Peak is the territory of my clan's direct disciples. Other disciples are not allowed to enter without permission," Zhang Youli said coldly, then added in a deep voice, "Where is the elder guarding Second Precept Peak today?"

Zhang Youli's words made the other elders think deeply.

Nowadays, Erjie Peak is not only home to his own direct disciples, but also to the direct disciples of the other four sects and the young masters of the eight families.

Perhaps Shen Youqing is making a mountain out of a molehill, but what she said is perfectly correct. Isn't the elder on duty being a bit negligent in his duties?
Meng Qinian nodded slightly to Zhang Youli and said, "Sect Master, is it Elder He?"

"Bring him here," Zhang Youli said coldly.

Elder He? He Xiaofei?
In the secluded realm, while being chased by Jiang Chenying, she encountered He Xiaofei, who was attempting to kill her.

He Xiaofei.

Shen Youqing really couldn't understand where He Xiaofei's murderous intent towards her came from.

Not long after, Elder He arrived.

"Elder He, which disciples went to the Second Precept Peak today?"

Zhang Youli's direct question made Elder He's heart skip a beat.

He raised his hand in a respectful bow and answered politely, "Xiaofei and the others came to visit Shen Qiuluo after learning that she was seriously injured."

He Xiaofei and Shen Qiuluo.

Shen Youqing toyed with the dart in his hand, a slight sneer playing on his lips.

This is really the case.

"A visit?" Shen Youqing feigned surprise. "Aren't you here to seek revenge for my attempted murder?"

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Youqing bowed to Zhang Youli and opened his mouth, giving Elder He no chance to speak.

"The elders surely know that He Xiaofei once attempted to kill me in the Unfavorable Secret Realm. Now, this dart—isn't this blatant revenge and murder?"

Elder He pointed at Shen Youqing and angrily rebuked, "You're completely turning black into white! They clearly just wanted to issue a challenge to you!"

Elder He's words turned Zhang Youli and many of the other elders present into icy expressions.

Elder He's actions go beyond mere dereliction of duty; they constitute blatant condoning and cover-up!
"Sect Leader Zhang!" Shen Youqing's powerful voice rang out, "Elder He, as the elder on duty, knew that He Xiaofei and her group were plotting to murder a junior, yet he did not stop them. This is cover-up! He is an accomplice!"

Elder He never expected that his words would get him into trouble.

Zhang Youli's expression could no longer be described as cold, sharp, or ugly.
