Enjoying the fruits of others' labor! How does a sect's holy son break through the defense

"No need for verification, it was me who did it."

Zhao Yueqing's admission caused a huge uproar among the onlookers.

Many inner disciples were whispering and discussing among themselves.

"This...how is this possible?"

"Isn't Senior Brother Zhao always frank and upright? How could he do such a thing?"

"What else could it be? Jealousy, of course!"

"It's possible. Senior Brother Zhao has always liked Senior Sister Luan Yang, but now she's getting close to Enforcer Lü. It's possible that his love has turned to hate, and he's become obsessed with jealousy!"

Zhao Yueqing's admission immediately darkened Ye Zhentian's expression, his eyes filled with barely suppressed anger.

"Elder, what explanation do you have now?"

At the same time, he also had a headache.

Zhao Yueqing is Zhao Hong's only son and a genius whom the sect is focusing on cultivating.

Now they've resorted to such despicable means to try and cripple Lü Tu's cultivation. Not only Lü Tu, but the sect will absolutely not let this go.

But if Zhao Yueqing is dealt with, it will inevitably lead to a break with Zhao Hong.

As the Grand Elder of the Inner Sect, Zhao Hong was highly respected and held a pivotal position in the Cloud Sect. He was also the only other person besides him who was a sixth-level Spirit King.

However, if Zhao Yueqing is not dealt with, Lü Tu will definitely not back down, and may even cause bigger trouble.

A headache!

Ye Zhentian was so frustrated that he wished he could strangle Zhao Yueqing to death.

Why did you have to mess with Lü Tu?

If you miss, go somewhere far away and don't cause trouble for the sect.

Zhao Hong, however, looked at Zhao Yueqing with bloodshot eyes and a face full of disappointment.

"You unfilial son! Why?"

Why did you do this?

However, Zhao Yueqing showed great backbone when faced with the angry Zhao Hong.

Why?

He lowered his head and gave a cold laugh, his voice hoarse.

"Who in the entire inner sect doesn't know that I've loved Luan Yang since I was a child?"

"To catch up with her, I have worked hard in my cultivation without ever slacking off. How many times have I gone into seclusion to break through, almost suffering a qi deviation? All for the sake of getting her to look at me just once more."

"But what was the result?"

"As soon as Lü Tu appeared, the sect immediately placed Luan Yang by his side. Did the sect ever consider my feelings? What does the sect take me for?"

"Am I, Zhao Yueqing, a disciple of the Jade Leaf Sect, a genius ranked on the Cloud Sect's list, and the only son of the Grand Elder, shameless?"

Gu Yunshu frowned slightly.

"Feelings cannot be forced."

"If you two were truly in love, the sect would never have stopped you. After all these years, you probably would have gotten together long ago. In the end, you were just not meant to be."

Zhao Yueqing roared angrily.

"What a coincidence!"

"So, are Lü Tu and Luan Yang really destined for each other? Wasn't it all forced upon them by the sect?"

"Is the sect really willing to sacrifice my feelings just to keep a genius like Lü Tu?"

Zhao Hong was trembling with anger.

"That's no excuse for you to poison Lü Tu, especially not with such despicable and contemptible means."

"good!"

Zhao Yueqing, who had lost his mind, roared loudly.

"Father is right, I admit I am a despicable person."

"And what about you, Father?"

"You've dedicated yourself to the Cloud Sect for so many years, you have both strength and prestige, but what have you gained in return?"

"According to the established rules of the Cloud Sect, the position of sect leader is held by those with the most ability."

"This position of sect leader should rightfully belong to you. Why should it be given to the Ye family?"

slap~

Suddenly.

Enraged, Zhao Hong slapped Zhao Yueqing across the air, sending him flying.

He was so angry that his whole body went numb, and his voice trembled.

"The traitor!"

"I, Zhao Hong, have lived a life of integrity and uprightness. How could I have given birth to such a rebellious son as you? How dare you question the sect leader?"

"The reason why the sect leader took the position back then was because he was outstanding enough. He could lead the sect to go further. He was more suitable to be the sect leader than me. No one in the entire sect, including me, Zhao Hong, had any objections."

"How dare you utter such treasonous words! Today, I will uphold justice and kill you, you beast!"

Just then, Ye Linxiao suddenly interrupted.

"Wait!"

His gaze was sharp as a knife as he looked at Zhao Yueqing.

"Who ordered you to do this?"

Zhao Yue tilted his head back and sneered.

"I am responsible for my own actions. I did this all by myself. You can kill me if you want. I, Zhao Yueqing, accept the consequences."

"And Ye Linxiao, you're just lucky. If our positions were reversed, you might not be as good as me."

Ye Linxiao completely ignored what Zhao Yueqing said afterward.

Or you could say...

He didn't care about such comparisons or jealousy at all.

"Was it the Second Elder who instructed you?"

These words shocked everyone present.

Li Peng?

How did Li Peng get involved?

Zhao Yueqing's pupils suddenly contracted.

He hadn't expected Ye Linxiao to guess so accurately and so precisely.

As the head of a sect, Ye Zhentian was undoubtedly sharp-witted and immediately shouted.

"Yun Shu and Liu Bai, you two go and fetch Li Peng."

But to everyone's surprise, Ye Linxiao raised his hand to interrupt.

"No need. The Second Elder secretly left the sect the night Lü Tu had his accident, and his whereabouts are unknown."

"My spies who were sent to keep an eye on him haven't replied either; I'm afraid he's in grave danger."

It can now be basically concluded that...

Li Peng has already betrayed the Cloud Sect, and there is a high probability that he is colluding with the Sky-Piercing Sect.

Otherwise, how could Qingtianmen have known and ambushed Lü Tu and Gu Yunshu on their way to the Prefect's Mansion that day?

"Have you finished asking?"

"Now that you've finished asking your questions, it's my turn."

Lu Tu stared at Zhao Yueqing.

"Where is Ma Yan's mother, and where is the antidote for the corpse-dissolving powder in his body?"

If Ma Yan hadn't been poisoned and the hostages hadn't been in Zhao Yueqing's hands, why would he have bothered saying anything?

He immediately chopped Zhao Yueqing up when he admitted it.

"Antidote? Hahaha..."

Zhao Yueqing burst into laughter.

"There is no antidote for the Corpse-Dissolving Powder. Once ingested, it will cause organ failure within seven days, eventually turning the person into a pool of blood."

"As for his mother? Hahaha..."

At this point, Zhao Yueqing laughed even louder.

"I originally intended for Ma Yan to be my scapegoat, how could I let those mother and son live?"

"His mother was already chopped up by my men!"

"Lu Tu, even if I can't kill you, I can kill the people around you. Aren't you angry? Huh? Hahaha..."

thump~

Zhao Yueqing's words made Ma Yan's heart skip a beat.

"No...impossible!"

"You lied to me, I'll kill you, I'm going to kill you!"

Ma Yan gripped Lü Tu's hand tightly and roared wildly.

"Brother Donkey... Brother Donkey, please help me! I want to chop him up myself!"

Just now.

A voice rang out from below from a Golden Sleeve disciple who had just returned to the inner sect.

"Holy Son, the identity of the woman that Senior Brother Zhao Yueqing captured a few days ago has been confirmed. She is the biological mother of Ma Yan, an outer sect servant."

"The person has been rescued and placed in the outer gate. Please, Holy Son, make the final decision."

Ye Linxiao stood with his hands behind his back and a slight smile played on his lips.

"Well done, go collect your reward."

He did not possess any supernatural abilities.

He was simply monitoring everyone equally.

It's no exaggeration to say that...

He had a pretty good grasp of the whereabouts of all the Jade Leaf disciples and elders of the Cloud Sect.

He had his eye on Zhao Yueqing from the moment he went to Li Peng's Yunpeng Peak.

So I paid a little attention to it.

It proved to be very useful.

This unexpected good news made Ma Yan burst into tears of joy, crying loudly.

"My...my mother isn't dead?"

"Brother Donkey, Brother Donkey, did you hear that? My mother is still alive!"

Lu Tu looked at Ye Linxiao and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

"Awesome!"

Consider it a favor I owe you.

He had to admit, the protagonist was damn handsome.

Looking at Zhao Yueqing, who was in a daze, Ye Linxiao's eyes were filled with disdain.

Actually, you said something wrong.

Even if our roles were reversed, you might not be as good as me.

After saying that, he turned and left gracefully.

That was such a smooth and convincing act.
