Reborn in the Hehuan Sect, my master was transformed into a slave by me

While the two were bickering in their minds, the people in the meeting hall finally came back to their senses from Dan Ji's amazement and Chang Qing's words.

Xiao Bingzhen spoke first.

"Okay, okay, my eldest son Chang Qing has finally grown up and become sensible. I'm glad you have the heart to cheer up."

She grabbed Dan Ji's hand and said happily.

"Oh, what a pretty girl, you are really our family's benefactor, and you are a perfect match for my nephew."

In her mind, Dan Ji couldn't help but laugh.

"Pfft, she said we are a perfect match? Isn't she blushing?"

"Shut up."

On the other side, among the family heads, a middle-aged man with a calm and restrained face spoke.

"Ling Yu Chang Qing, according to what you just said, you opened the acupoints and became a cultivator?"

"That's right, I was lucky enough to open the acupoints, and my cultivation suddenly changed."

Chang Qing replied respectfully.

The man is the head of the Xuanzi branch of the Lingyu family, Lingyu Xuancheng. Among the four branches, the text power is the largest, and the head of the family is the current patriarch. Junzi and Changzi are slightly inferior, and the conflicts between them are the most serious, while Xuanzi is relatively neutral.

"Suddenly turn..." Lingyu Xuancheng sighed, and several elders began to whisper.

"This sudden turn is really too rare and inferior talent."

"Suddenly turn, may not be able to break through to the instant realm in his life. I thought he could inherit the Changzi branch, it seems..."

"This kid has always been the most useless one among the heirs of several branches, and there should be no expectations for him..."

Hearing the evaluation of several elders, Xiao Bingzhen said dissatisfiedly.

"What's wrong with sudden turn? If he suddenly turns, he is not a member of the family, and he is not worthy of practicing under the protection of the family."

After saying that, she patted Changqing on the shoulder and encouraged.

"Changqing, don't listen to them. I believe you can do it. You just turned 18 this year, and there is still one year before the assessment of the head of the family. As long as you practice hard, you will definitely inherit the position of the head of the family. I will take you back to have a good rest first, and take you to the family academy tomorrow. I will definitely let you catch up with others in practice."

"Wait." At this time, a man with a hooked nose and a gloomy face spoke.

The man's name is Ling Yu Junyi. He is the head of the Jun branch and also the elder in charge of the family academy.

"Ling Yu Changqing returned from the forbidden area two months later than others, and he seems to have experienced a lot of things. The woman he brought is also very suspicious."

"He should be asked to report the complete process of the cultivator's trial to the family in detail, and send someone to verify the authenticity and confirm the identity of this woman. Then let him return to the family and enter the academy to practice."

What he said makes sense, but everyone knows that the Jun branch and the Chang branch don't get along, and Ling Yu Junyi's move is somewhat difficult.

Not letting him return to the family and deliberately delaying the investigation will have some impact on Chang Qing's reputation and cultivation.

"No! Chang Qing must return to the family first."

Xiao Bingzhen was the first to stand up and disagree.

"Elder Xiao, this is also related to the safety of the family. In addition to Ling Yu Changqing, there are two other people who disappeared in this cultivator trial. What if their disappearance is related to Ling Yu Changqing?"

"Elder Junyi, don't slander our Changqing casually. The forbidden area is dangerous. He himself escaped from death. How could he murder others?"

"Even if Ling Yu Changqing is innocent, shouldn't the women he brought back from the forbidden area be checked?"

"Don't make excuses here. There are so many foreign women absorbed by the family every year. Why don't you check them one by one? There are many people who mistakenly enter the forbidden area from the surrounding villages every year. She is a girl, not even a cultivator, but just a mortal. What danger can there be? What's more, she is disabled. Now she is the daughter-in-law of the Changzi branch. No one can embarrass her. She has to go home with me."

Ling Yu Junyi was relentless, and Xiao Bingzhen did not give in.

In the end, it was the clan leader who spoke to mediate.

He put the tea bowl in his hand on the table neither lightly nor heavily, with a stern tone.

"Okay, how can you two elders behave like this in front of everyone."

"Let Ling Yu Changqing return to the family first, and let him join the family academy tomorrow, so as not to delay his practice."

"Elder Xiao, as the family guard elder, you should be the one to investigate Ling Yu Changqing's case, but he is related to you, so in order to avoid suspicion, this matter will be investigated by the law enforcement elder."

"As for the woman, after Ling Yu Changqing returns to explain her origins to the law enforcement elder, if there is nothing wrong, let him settle her himself."

After the clan leader finished speaking, the elder of the law enforcement hall saidHe said yes.

"Okay, that's it for now, let's go."

After the clan leader presided over all this, everyone naturally had no objection. Xiao Bingzhen was satisfied and took Chang Qing and Dan Ji back to the mansion of the Changzi branch.

In the evening, Chang Qing was invited to the Law Enforcement Hall. He briefly explained the process of the trial, and did not mention being knocked unconscious. He only said that he felt a splitting headache after opening the acupoints, and then fainted. When he woke up, he found that he was lost in the forbidden area and encountered several violent spirit beasts. He escaped by chance and was rescued by Dan Ji. After recuperating for half a month, he could barely walk and hurried back to the family.

After the law enforcement elder made a record, he said that he would investigate and let Chang Qing go back first, and there was no further news.

On the way back from the Law Enforcement Hall, Dan Ji spoke in Chang Qing's mind.

"Too fake, a little ridiculous."

"Indeed, they didn't even check my injuries."

"The mastermind behind your murder can be basically confirmed."

After Dan Ji finished speaking, Chang Qing hesitated and shook his head.

"Why do I feel that there is more than one mastermind?"

The law enforcement elder is named Ling Yu Wenfeng, a member of the Wenzi branch and a close confidant of the clan leader.

From everyone's point of view, there is nothing wrong with the clan leader's arrangement.

Ling Yu Xuancheng and Xiao Bingzhen had a conflict over the investigation of Chang Qing's monk trial. In order to avoid suspicion and mediate, the clan leader sent the law enforcement elder of his own faction to investigate the matter. It is reasonable and very smart.

But only from Chang Qing's point of view can we find the tricks here.

If the person behind the murder of the original body does not want the truth of Chang Qing's distress to be exposed, then the clan leader's approach has already met his wishes.

This is also the reason why the law enforcement elder was so perfunctory about his inquiries.

Because the clan leader is the person behind the scenes.

The law enforcement elder was his confidant, and it was very likely that he knew what happened to Chang Qing's disappearance. His inquiry to Chang Qing was just perfunctory, at most he was confirming whether Chang Qing knew who knocked him out.

But, what was the purpose of the clan leader to get rid of him?

And...

"What's wrong? You can't be unsure about such an obvious thing, right? You are so hesitant, which is a bit unlike you, kid."

Dan Ji asked in confusion.

"No, there must be something wrong with the clan leader. I just suspect that there are more than just the law enforcement elders who share the same goal with the clan leader among the elders."

"And?" Dan Ji was stunned. She didn't object to Chang Qing's idea. After all, the other party was the head of a clan, and it was normal for him to have accomplices. She was just curious about how Chang Qing saw it.

But after a little thought, she figured it out, and then sighed.

"Alas... Compared to me, you are more like an old devil who has lived for hundreds of years. She treats you so well. From the perspective of an observer, I never suspected her at the first time..."
