Chapter 36 What else do you have to say now?
Someone burst into tears.
Junior Sister Ye almost sacrificed herself to expose Xie Wanning's true colors. They actually doubted her; they are truly ashamed. They must protect the best junior sister in the world!
The peak masters looked at Ye Qianqian with admiration. Such a selfless disciple was a rare sight these days; she was truly the pride of the Qingyun Sect.
Song Huai'an was stunned for a moment before asking his second question: "Junior Sister, why didn't you hand over the treasure after returning to the camp?"
Ye Qianqian looked worried: "I was afraid that if I handed over the treasure, Senior Sister would hurt others. I didn't want any of my senior brothers or sisters to get hurt, so I didn't hand it over."
“However,” Ye Qianqian said with a determined look, “I originally planned to hand it over to my master personally after leaving the secret realm. My master would protect the treasure and distribute it fairly to my senior brothers and sisters.”
"That's right! Junior Sister Ye was willing to risk her own life for everyone, she definitely wouldn't keep any treasures to herself." Someone in the crowd echoed, expressing the sentiments of all the disciples.
Ye Qianqian lowered her head shyly, her cheeks slightly flushed.
Xie Wanning rolled her eyes inwardly. In her past life, Ye Qianqian had hoarded many treasures, and no one even knew of their existence. In this life, how could she possibly be so selfless as to share the treasures left behind by a Nascent Soul stage expert? It was all a lie.
Song Huai'an gave Ye Qianqian an approving look, feeling quite proud of her. He then asked his final question: "Junior Sister, Senior Sister hurt you and even tried to kill you. Do you hate Senior Sister?"
Xie Wanning was shocked. How could there be such a problem?
Ye Qianqian looked confused, as if she found it difficult to answer the question.
Suddenly, she slowly walked towards Xie Wanning, gently squatted down, and took Xie Wanning's hand.
Xie Wanning tried to pull her hand away, but found that Ye Qianqian's grip was extremely strong, and she couldn't pull it away at all.
What is she going to do?
Ye Qianqian's tone was aggrieved, and her voice trembled: "Senior Sister, I've been at Qingyun Sect for almost a month. In this month, I've been trying to get along with you, but you always reject me."
Ye Qianqian stood up and faced the crowd: "I, Ye Qianqian, lost both my parents at a young age and have no relatives. Fortunately, I was appreciated by my master and entered the Qingyun Sect. When I arrived at the Qingyun Sect and met Senior Sister, I felt that she was very gentle and resembled the older sister in my heart. Therefore, I always wanted to become good sisters with her. However, I found that Senior Sister had gone astray and did bad things."
Everyone knew that Ye Qianqian was referring to Xie Wanning's attempt to monopolize the treasure and her ruthless killing of her fellow disciple.
"I don't believe there are inherently evil people. I only hope that Senior Sister can repent and become the gentle and responsible Senior Sister again. I have never hated Senior Sister. I only hope that she can get better." Ye Qianqian turned to look at Xie Wanning. Her eyes were full of pity and sincerity. No one would have any evil thoughts when looked at by such pure and innocent eyes.
Unseen by everyone, a wisp of black energy burrowed from Ye Qianqian's palm into Xie Wanning's hand.
Ye Qianqian stood in the main hall, her body radiating a sacred golden light that inspired awe in all who beheld her.
The disciples' eyes sparkled as they completely believed Ye Qianqian's words and developed a deep respect for her kind and generous spirit.
All the peak masters also adored this disciple; he was truly a rising star of the righteous path! He possessed unparalleled virtues and extraordinary dedication, making him a rare talent in the cultivation world, unseen for centuries.
Even Yan Ze, who was usually expressionless, had a faint smile on his lips at this moment.
Song Huai'an was moved to tears. His junior sister was so kind that he really liked her.
He retreated to Jiang Ci's side and quietly awaited Yan Ze's instructions.
Yan Ze stood up, walked to Ye Qianqian's side, patted her shoulder, and said with a slight glint in his eyes, "You did very well."
"Thank you for your praise, Master. I will certainly live up to your expectations," Ye Qianqian said with a happy smile.
Seeing the friendly scene between the master and disciple, the disciples praised Ye Qianqian noisily, and the peak masters also cast envious glances. Everything was peaceful and warm.
"Clang!" The sound of a sword hitting the ground echoed throughout the hall.
Xie Wanning leaned against the wall, struggling to stand up despite the oppressive aura, and glared fiercely at Yan Ze.
Yan Ze's expression turned cold, and Ye Qianqian advised from the side, "Senior Sister may have something to say."
The disciples and peak masters focused their hateful eyes on Xie Wanning. Ye Jian, the usually hot-tempered elder of the Body Peak, threw a punch: "You wicked devil, how dare you lose your temper?"
A bolt of purple lightning erupted between Xie Wanning and Ye Jian, causing Ye Jian's attack to miss, and his punch struck a palace pillar beside Xie Wanning.
With a loud crash, the entire pillar shattered instantly, and the palace shook slightly.
One can imagine that if this punch had landed squarely on Xie Wanning, she would have died on the spot.
"Sect Leader, Xie Wanning's crimes have been confirmed. She harmed her fellow disciples and coveted wealth. She should be executed on the spot!" Ye Jian's eyes were filled with undisguised killing intent. During this exploration of the secret realm, more than half of his disciples were killed or injured. His eldest disciple, Shi Kuo, had three broken ribs. It was all Xie Wanning's doing. He wanted to make Xie Wanning pay the price.
“According to the sect’s rules, Xie Wanning has one incense stick’s worth of time to defend herself. If we can confirm Xie Wanning’s crimes by then, we can decide her fate,” Yan Ze said seriously. Ye Jian couldn’t beat Yan Ze, so he could only return to his original spot in anger.
Xie Wanning lowered her head, a hint of irony flashing in her eyes. So this sect had rules after all? Were Yan Ze's rules the sect's rules? In her past life, Yan Ze had always used his power to render Xie Wanning unconscious, leaving her no chance to defend herself and forcing her to bear all the blame. In this life, she persevered, determined to clear her name.
Yan Ze released Xie Wan Ning from the silencing spell, withdrew his oppressive aura, and said coldly, "Xie Wan Ning, what else do you have to say now?"
"I have three questions. First, Junior Sister said that my sword broke the talisman sealing the Silver Python, causing it to break free of the seal. We already know that this seal was left by a Nascent Soul stage expert. I am just a low-level Qi Refining stage cultivator. How could I possibly break such a formation that could seal a sixth-tier Silver Python?" Xie Wan Ning looked at Mu Wen Yan, the peak master of the Talisman Array Peak: "Elder Mu, do you think someone like me, who has never studied formations, is capable of breaking a formation of this level?"
Xie Wanning knew that the truth Ye Qianqian had just told had already taken root in people's hearts, and she wanted to defeat Ye Qianqian by pointing out the irrationality in her words.
Mu Wenyan was speechless. The formation that could seal the sixth-order silver python was at least a seventh-grade formation, using seventh-grade talismans, which had extremely strong defensive capabilities against external attacks. Xie Wanning was only at the Qi Refining stage and knew nothing about formations, so it was indeed impossible for her to break the formation.
However, Mu Wenyan couldn't say, because her heart had already tipped in favor of Ye Qianqian: "This... all formations have flaws, we can't jump to conclusions." Mu Wenyan refused to answer Xie Wanning's question with vague words.
