Chapter 288 Lian Ning is out of confinement

Du Sheng's expression was tragic, as if he had already foreseen his own fate.

"What are you doing?"

Du Sheng walked into the main hall, lifted the hem of his robe, sat on a seat nearby, and went straight to the point.

"Master Junior, I wonder where today's new products are."

This will happen sooner or later anyway, so the sooner you die, the sooner you will be reborn.

Finish drinking it sooner and you will suffer less.

But Lin Wenyu, who was sitting opposite him, looked puzzled.

"Did you see Li Qingwu when you went out just now?"

Li Qingwu?

Du Sheng recalled that it seemed that he did meet someone on the road when he came here just now, but at that time he was immersed in the grief of drinking Lin Wenyu's new milk tea, so he was not paying attention and did not pay much attention.

"Yes, I think I did see him when I came here."

"What she was holding in her hand was the Qiankun bag I gave her. All the milk tea was in it."

When Du Sheng heard the news, he breathed a sigh of relief, and the dejection and grief on his face disappeared instantly.

Lin Wenyu crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows.

"If you want to drink, it's not too late to stop him now."

"No need, no need." Du Sheng quickly refused, "How can I compete with a junior?"

Lin Wenyu was too lazy to expose Du Sheng's poor excuse.

"So - what exactly are you here for?"

When it comes to serious matters, Du Sheng's expression returns to normal.

“I came to see Junior Master today for two things.

First, Master's meridians have been mostly repaired, and I think it won't take much time for him to recover.

Secondly... Li Weicheng has made some moves recently."

Li Weicheng... ?

Lin Wenyu thought for a long time before she remembered that this person was the head of the disciple residence.

"Is there any movement?"

“Well, yesterday evening Li Weicheng left the pie in a hurry, walked around the crowded area several times before entering a farmhouse.

The people I sent out didn't dare to get too close for fear of alerting the enemy.

After Li Weicheng finished talking to that person, he followed the other person and found out…”

"What did you find?"

"I found that person also returned to Xuanling Sect."

As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell into silence.

Although they had guessed before that there was another person above Li Weicheng, when the guess was confirmed, Du Sheng and Lin Wenyu did not feel any joy.

Because they all knew in their hearts that there was someone above Li Weicheng who was hiding very deeply and could order Li Weicheng around. He must have a certain status in the Xuanling Sect. The most likely person was the elders of the Xuanling Sect.

But most of these elders have devoted themselves to the Xuanling Sect since the time of Shen Mingshe, or even during the time of Immortal Venerable Wensi.

After spending such a long time together, it would not be pleasant to suddenly find out that among your fellow disciples, whom you thought you could trust with your life, there is actually someone hiding in the dark ready to stab you at any time.

"Have you found out who that person is?"

After a long time, Lin Wenyu asked.

Du Sheng shook his head: "That person's cultivation is higher than Li Weicheng, the people I sent out dare not follow him too closely.

And the man behind me seemed to have noticed something and threw my people away."

"Who did you send out?"

"Lian Ning."

Lian Ning is Du Sheng's second disciple. Unlike Huo Zicheng, Lian Ning doesn't like socializing with others. She spends most of her time in seclusion. Even when she is not in seclusion, she is rarely seen in the public eye.

Lin Wenyu's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise: "When did she come out?"

"He came out of seclusion more than a year ago, but I was investigating Li Weicheng at the time, and Lian Ning seemed to be in seclusion in the eyes of outsiders, so I asked Lian Ning to follow Li Weicheng."

"Hiss—when did she become so positive?"

In Lin Wenyu's impression, Lian Ning hated taking on this kind of time-consuming and laborious tasks the most, and he liked to be invisible when given such a task.

Why are you suddenly so positive now?

Lin Wenyu didn't know that her unintentional complaint almost made Du Sheng break out in a cold sweat.

Du Sheng didn't dare to say that it was Lian Ning who volunteered for this task.

After Lian Ning came out of retreat, he heard that Lin Wenyu had also come out of retreat and had accepted several apprentices. He immediately took the initiative to volunteer to take on this task.

After all, what Lian Ning feared most was the junior master Lin Wenyu. He had been in seclusion before, on the one hand, to improve his cultivation and break through the bottleneck, and on the other hand... it was to avoid Lin Wenyu.

Now, Lin Wenyu has not only come out of seclusion, but has also accepted several disciples. It is estimated that he will not be able to hide in the short term.

Taking on this task would allow me to have less contact with Lin Wenyu with a legitimate reason.

Fortunately, Lin Wenyu was just talking casually and didn't pay too much attention to it, so she turned her attention back to the matter at hand.

"Well, if it's Lian Ning... then it can only be those elders."

Perhaps because Lian Ning didn't like socializing with outsiders, what Lian Ning was best at was not conventional aspects like formations, but concealment.

"Hmm." Du Sheng sighed softly.

Although he was reluctant to accept this result, basically all the evidence now pointed to the elders in the inner sect.

Apart from the three elders who Du Sheng had already ruled out as suspects, the remaining elders were most likely another traitor lurking in the sect.

Du Sheng frowned and thought for a while, then told his next plan.

“Since that person has noticed Lian Ning’s tracking, I think he should have communicated with Li Weicheng.

I asked Lian Ning to keep a close eye on Li Weicheng these days, maybe we can find out who is behind this.”
