"It wasn't mentioned in the message."

"But it should be inseparable from Xue Pinggui."

Apart from him, no one else could be blamed for the official examination.

Jing Li lowered his eyes and said coldly, "It seems that Xue Pinggui has figured out the consequences of the Xue family, so he escaped as soon as possible and returning to Shendan Sect is the best choice for him."

I just don't know what happened that made Xue Pinggui kill him.

"Return to Shendan Sect immediately before it is spread out."

Taoist Lingxu sent out the first-hand news, so Qin Huai's death should have been suppressed for the time being, and the disciples under the Shendan Sect would not have known about it, otherwise this matter would have broken out a long time ago.

When she returned to Shendan Sect this time, Jing Li held Zhao Qingyan in her arms, with third senior sister Lingmiao at her side, followed by Rong Jiu and the official examination master and apprentice.

Rong Heng was mysterious, appearing like this and then leaving like this.

Zhao Qingfeng naturally reluctantly returned to Xuanmen Sect with Xue Yunye.

Song Yan stayed in the Song family for the time being.

Jing Li looked in the direction of Shendan Sect, "I want to see what kind of waves Xue Pinggui can make."

***

The Shendan Sect was as calm as usual, as if everything had never happened.

Jingli and the others quietly returned to Shendan Sect, as if they had never left.

"I'll go find the Great Elder. As for you, just treat it as if you're still in retreat."

"Rong Jiu will stay here for now."

Yanxia Ridge is a place of solitude, and the Supreme Elder has stated that he is in seclusion, so no one will disturb him here.

Jing Li took Lingmiao and Zhao Qingyan, who had transformed back to their original bodies, and walked to Yaotian Garden.

On the road, I met many idle disciples walking by in groups chatting and laughing.

"It seems that they don't even know that something big happened within the sect."

Lingmiao lay on Jingli's shoulder and spoke quietly.

Jingli walked quietly through an avenue and planned to walk towards the back hill. Unexpectedly, a young boy passing by on the road saw her and immediately stopped her.

"Elder?!"

Jing Li looked at the other party calmly.

The man seemed to realize that he was overly excited and smiled sheepishly.

"Elder, you may not remember me. I was also in the team at Lincheng and returned to the Shendan Sect with you."

After the young man finished speaking, his expression was serious. After carefully scanning the surrounding area, he said, "Elder, could you please take a step to speak?"

Jingli followed him to a small corner and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Elder, how come I haven't seen you in the sect these days?"

Jing Li was slightly surprised why he cared so much about her whereabouts and thought she was not in the sect.

But Jingli remained expressionless.

"Hey, I don't mean anything else. I just want you to know whether Senior Sister Yanran is locked up."

The young man frowned and felt anxious, not knowing how to express himself.

"You may not know? The sect leader may be dead!"

The young man looked around when he said this.

"Not many people in the sect know about this matter now."

"Do you know who the murderer is?"

Who else could it be besides Xue Pinggui? Jing Li sneered in her heart.

"It's Senior Sister Yanran!"

Jing Li looked surprised. This answer was indeed unexpected.

So is this the reason why the Great Elder didn’t make it clear when he sent the urgent letter? !

Not to mention that Qin Huai's cultivation level is much higher than that of Qin Yanran. With their relationship as father and daughter, although they are not close to each other, they will not go to the extent of killing each other.

"Then why do you know?"

Jing Li looked at the young man in front of her calmly. She originally wanted to go to the great elder to ask for details, but she didn't expect to learn about it from a disciple.

"Because that day I was punished by the Immortal Chief to clean the side hall of the main peak. I heard with my own ears the quarrel between Senior Sister Tou Yanran and the Sect Master in the main hall."

"Not long after that, someone came out and said that the sect master was dead, and then Elder Xue and the Great Elder came."

"I saw with my own eyes that Senior Sister Yanran, who was holding a sword and covered in blood, was tied up and taken out."

"But I don't know what happened next. Everyone present was told not to tell anyone about it for the time being."

"Then why did you tell me?"

Jing Li raised his eyebrows.

"Because...because you were brought back by Senior Sister Yanran, your relationship must be different."

"I, I don't believe that Senior Sister Yanran would kill her father. There must be some secret in it."

"I'm just a young disciple, someone who speaks lightly."

Under Jing Li's probing gaze, the boy's face gradually turned red, so he was once again a little fan of the Peony Fairy.

Jing Li thought the other party had some evidence, but she didn't expect that he came to her to ask her to rescue Qin Yanran.

"I see."

After Jing Li said that, he turned around and left.

She knew what happened, but she still needed to find the great elder.

But what she didn't expect was that Qin Yanran would be involved, which meant that Qin Yanran really found out something that made Xue Pinggui fearful enough to get rid of her.

"Why is that woman so cruel? Kill her own father?!"

Zhao Qingyan also asked rhetorically, and he was also skeptical about this.

"It should be when Qin Yanran went to tell Qin Huai, Xue Pinggui killed two birds with one stone."

I can't think of anyone else besides this Jingli.
