Chapter 357: Initial Probe
Jin Xingchen took a step back, trying his best to reduce his sense of presence, wishing he could dig a hole and bury himself.
He just had some good intentions, and most importantly, he was still a little suspicious of the person in front of him.
Some words are not groundless, they must have some clues, not to mention that Su Ming just saved them, there is no need to say such bad things to slander his boss.
Unknown thoughts passed through his mind, and a trace of hesitation stayed in his eyes.
Jin Xingchen bravely took a step forward and spoke slowly.
"Master, what happened to Junior Brother Zheng Qi made other sects complain a lot. We still have to be more careful!"
When the great elder heard this, his face quickly darkened, and he looked at his disciples, not knowing what was going on.
The guy in front of me mentioned these unhappy things again and again, but he didn't realize it. When did his apprentice become so annoying?
"Xingchen, seeing that the competition is about to begin, it is really inconvenient to mention these things at this time. Let's wait until after the competition!"
The great elder interrupted his words rudely, with a cold face, and looked at the golden stars with his eyes.
The meaning is very clear, that is, let him not say more at this time.
Jin Xingchen was completely fascinated by Su Ming. She tried hard to observe the leader in front of her, trying to find any clues.
Unfortunately, after looking at it for a long time, he couldn't find anything out of the ordinary.
There was a feeling of uneasiness in his heart, and he always felt that something bad was about to happen, so he immediately refuted the great elder's face.
"Master, Junior Brother Zheng Qi died in an unknown manner. We must not let him feel cold. Fortunately, the leader is standing here now. If we can provide him with justice, it will be considered a blessing!"
"Xingchen, why are you so ignorant this time? The most important thing at this juncture is the master's upcoming competition. We will talk about Zheng Qi later!"
The Great Elder really didn't expect that his disciple would not listen to him so much. He had clearly rejected him, and yet he would bring up the old matter here again!
Unable to bear it, he immediately refuted it with a sulky face, obviously very dissatisfied with what he was doing now!
However, Jin Xingchen, despite such anger, stood up and faced the leader without any hesitation.
"Master, I am asking the leader. Junior Brother Zheng Qi has hidden the leader for so long. He may not have done anything. I am doing this for the sake of our sect. If it doesn't work, we will withdraw from this competition first. !”
Ye Zhixue, who was watching on the sidelines, was a little confused because his senior brother was suddenly so stubborn. However, he soon understood and hurriedly stood up to agree with his senior brother.
He must have discovered something, otherwise he wouldn't do such a thing at this juncture!
"Master, I think what my senior brother said is right. We can't be patient and should be more or less careful. What's more, these words are not unspeakable. It doesn't hurt to let us listen to them so that we can be prepared!"
Ye Zhixue smiled playfully to ease the awkwardness between them, but quietly winked at Jin Xingchen over there.
God knows what the situation was at that time, but the top priority is to quickly cooperate with his senior brothers to investigate clearly!
Mu Jue really didn't expect that at this juncture, the people of the Seven Star Sect could still hold on to the previous matter. His face immediately darkened, and he still tried his best to pretend to be kind.
He raised his hand to stop the elder who wanted to speak.
"It is reasonable for Xingchen to have such concerns. Since you have asked this question, I naturally have to answer. It is just a small matter, so there is no need to argue too much."
The great elder wanted to scold his disciples, but all his words were pushed back at this moment, and he consciously stepped aside and looked at them.
It was undeniable that his eyes were full of disappointment. The disciple who had taught him carefully for so long was now looking for trouble with his own sect.
Mu Jue tried his best to relieve himself, pretending to be similar to himself, looking directly at Jin Xingchen and spoke slowly.
"Zheng Qi did lock me up, but according to my understanding, he should be possessed by something, otherwise he wouldn't be able to knock me out so easily. Looking at his injured appearance, he should be in the formation. Something happened that damaged his body, and the power that restrained me seemed to be loose, so I came here to find you so quickly! "
Mu Jue's words were flawless and every step was reasonable.
But when these words fell into Jin Xingchen's ears, he couldn't help but frown.
The great elder looked at the anxious situation in front of him and stood up in a hurry.
"Xingchen, the leader has made the right and wrong here clear. Don't get entangled too much. The top priority is the competition between the leaders. Don't delay our own sect for irrelevant people. "
Jin Xingchen wanted to say something else, but facing his master's serious face, he could only swallow all his words.
"Master, I'm sorry, I just... just... think I should give Junior Brother Zheng Qi an explanation!"
Mu Jue waved his hand, looking very understanding, and said kind words for Jin Xingchen.
"It doesn't matter, I know what he means? Zheng Qi has been in our sect since he was a child. It's really not right to die without knowing it. I can understand your thoughts, but the most important thing right now is the competition. , As for other things, let’s wait until they are resolved!”
At least wait until he gets rid of Su Ming!
As soon as he finished speaking, his sinister eyes looked towards Su Ming.
He never expected that Su Ming would withdraw his eyes at this time, and their eyes collided with each other. For a moment, the undercurrent hidden in the competition surged.
It seemed that the upcoming competition was about to start.
Hai Dafu in the stands was anxious and had no idea what was going on.
It was obviously a very common thing, just waiting for Elder Gu to come, but at this point, he still hadn't arrived!
His eyebrows were twisted together, staring at a certain direction, wishing to see his eyeballs.
"My aunt, it's already this hour, when will you arrive?"
He muttered in his heart, his face became more and more irritable, and his eyes became more and more anxious.
The disciples of various sects in the audience were also waiting anxiously, and they really didn't know what was going on here!
The elder Gu sent by the Tiandao League was still there in the first two levels. How come he disappeared in just one night?
They were left here, blowing in the cold wind!
"What's going on? Why is the elder Gu coming back at this time?"
"Who said it wasn't? Look, elder Hai is also waiting impatiently! The way he paces back and forth is really funny!"
