After crossing over, I was favored by the villain

Zong Zhengjin did not dare to ask about Jin Yan's identity, so he asked about what Jin Yan said, "Miss Yan, how did you know that the king was murdered?"

Jin Yan smiled and said, "Due to the national conditions, too much explanation is useless. Since the leader of the Zongzheng Sect has learned that this matter has been confirmed through investigation, why bother to test me?"

Zong Zhengjin was speechless for a moment. He smiled and said, "Miss Yan misunderstood. This concerns the safety of the king and the future of the sect. This sect master has to be more cautious."

Jin Yan sighed deeply and said bluntly, "How about this? The marriage celebration is about to begin. The Sect Master must have received the invitation a few days before that. In the name of a competition and discussion, the Sect Master will be invited to a banquet. At that time, the Sect Master will take away most of the disciples with high cultivation in the Phoenix Pavilion, including the four elders, and leave the Phoenix Pavilion."

Zong Zhengjin was shocked. He looked at the four elders present and saw shock in each other's eyes.

Zong Zhengye was puzzled and said, "Father, what Miss Yan said..."

Zong Zhengjin raised his hand to interrupt Zong Zhengye's question, then turned to look at Jin Yan, trying to read something from her face, but saw that her eyes were firm and calm.

He then slowly took out an invitation from his arms, held it up and said, "Miss Yan is right. When you two just arrived, this sect master was discussing the number of disciples who would go with the four elders."

This time it was Jin Yan's turn to be shocked. She frowned and asked, "Excuse me, Master Zongzheng, who is the one who invited you to the banquet?"

"Xuanbing Pavilion, Shangguan Huai."

Jin Yan's eyes widened. [In the original novel, the Phoenix Pavilion was invited to leave, and the banquet should have been hosted by the Yixian Pavilion. Although the venue was chosen to be the Xuanbing Pavilion in Zhongxia, how could it be Shangguan Huai's personal invitation? Could it be that the original plot has not changed, but only some details have changed? ]

Thinking of this, she still asked tentatively, "Really?"

Zong Zhengjin looked suspicious, "Miss Yan, are you questioning this sect master?"

Jin Yan chuckled and said, "Xuan Bing Pavilion has basically never participated in the competitions between sects. There is no doubt that the venue for this competition was chosen to be Xuan Bing Pavilion, but the person who convened the competition must not be Shangguan Huai."

[Shangguan Huai has a lot of wealth. In modern society, he is definitely a big shot in the financial circle. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has a mountain of gold. Why would he care about the competition? Not to mention that he would deliberately make this happen during the Fengtian Kingdom’s wedding celebration. Isn’t this a slap in the face of the King of Fengtian Kingdom? Big shots are extremely low-key. ]

Zong Zhengjin raised a smile and handed the invitation in his hand to Jin Yan, "Miss Yan will know it at a glance."

Jin Yan took the invitation, opened it and saw that the signature was Shangguan Huai, and the seal was also the totem of Zhongxia Kingdom. She clenched her fists, as if something had clicked.

After handing the invitation back, she reminded, "Master Zongzheng, please allow me to speak a little more. Please verify the authenticity of this invitation. Also, may I ask, Master Zongzheng, are you really going to go?"

The pressure was put on Zong Zhengjin. Although Jin Yan's last statement was firm, it was wrong. However, all his previous statements were correct, which made Zong Zhengjin, a cautious person, suspicious.

Seeing that Zong Zhengjin was hesitant and had not given an answer, Jin Yan said, "The Phoenix Pavilion is under the control of the Sect Master. This matter is strange, so please be careful. I have said all I can, as a way of repaying the Sect Master for giving me the medicine."

After saying this, the two of them stood up, and Zong Zhengye took them away first and arranged a place for them to rest.

Zong Zhengjin in the main hall sat down with a worried look on his face. The elders below reminded him, "Master, the matter of inviting Daqing to marry does need the support of the Phoenix Pavilion. Jin Yan's assertion has also increased your doubts. Why don't you send someone to investigate to avoid delaying the important matter of the king?"

"Yes, Sect Master, from what Jin Yan said, it sounds very convincing. Even if it is an invitation from Xuanbing Pavilion, it may not be true. Let your disciples find out whether it is true or not. It won't take a few days."

Zong Zhengjin nodded, "The situation is chaotic now, and there are already a lot of people outside the capital. If we leave now, I am worried that what Jin Yan said will come true. Arrange to check the source of the invitation and see if it is from Xuanbing Pavilion."

"Yes!"

On the other side, Zong Zhengye led them to the rest room and said, "You two can rest here. I will arrange for someone to deliver dinner to your room. It is relatively quiet here. Tomorrow morning, I will come with you to the capital."

"Young Master Zong Zheng, please stay." Zong Zhengye was about to leave when Jin Yan stopped him, "Young Master Zong Zheng, how far is this place from the capital?"

Zong Zhengye thought for a moment and said, "It's only a two-hour journey."

Jin Yan thought about it and nodded, "Thank you, Master Zongzheng."

After watching Zong Zhengye leave, Jin Yan closed the door. He saw Feng Hanyun sitting at the table, pouring tea by herself. The injured side of her arm began to tremble.

Jin Yan hurried forward, took the teapot from her hand, and poured her a cup.

Feng Hanyun looked at Jin Yan and asked, "Yan'er, did you say that on purpose in the main hall?"

Jin Yan nodded and pushed the teacup over. "The people of Phoenix Pavilion are good. Zong Zhengjin is an upright person. He was favored by the king and founded his own sect. He can be regarded as the hidden power of the king. I don't want anything to happen to them."

Feng Hanyun touched the teacup and said, "But the invitation was sent by Xuanbing Pavilion. I think there is something fishy about this."

Jin Yan's eyes widened, "Master, do you think so too?" Seeing Feng Hanyun nod, she continued, "Xuanbing Pavilion has almost never participated in inter-sect activities, and is extremely low-key on weekdays. Now, it deliberately sent Zong Zhengjin away, which is not like its style. Could it be that someone deliberately imitated Shangguan Huai's handwriting, or imposed this matter on Xuanbing Pavilion?"

Feng Hanyun nodded, "This is very possible."

Jin Yan also agreed very much, "Anyone who can use the seal of Xuanbing Pavilion and imitate Shangguan Huai's handwriting must be a person with great power."

Feng Hanyun looked at Jin Yan's analysis and felt that his suggestion had achieved the desired effect. Satisfied, he stopped waiting, stood up and sat on the couch, and started to regulate his breathing.

Seeing Feng Hanyun close his eyes and start to regulate his breathing, Jin Yan shrugged, propped up his chin and sighed softly, [I have already laid out the psychological suggestion. Whether it will be carried out depends on whether Zong Zhengjin believes it or not. But how to deal with the goddess's injury? ]

Thinking of this, she remembered the Buddha's Light Essence given to her by Immortal Zhenxu, and played with the Buddha's Light Essence.

[This thing has an effect on demonic cultivators, so it cannot be used directly on the goddess. Hey? The master said that this thing can be refined. If it absorbs the spiritual energy of the Buddha's light essence after refining, it is not certain whether it can heal the goddess. ]

For a moment, Jin Yan was a little embarrassed.

Zong Zhengjin waited all night for news from his disciples. When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, he finally saw his disciple coming back to report.

The disciple bowed and said, "Master, the Master of Xuanbing Pavilion has replied. Here is his handwritten letter."

Zong Zhengjin quickly opened the letter and read it. He then showed a shocked expression. After thinking carefully for a moment, he ordered, "Gather the four elders and have a talk in the main hall."

"Yes!"
