4: Put the blame on Ye Fan
I don't know how much time passed.
His cultivation also Broke through to the second level of Golden Core.
Qin Tian looked at Zhao Yan'er and smiled.
Zhao Yan'er weakly said, "Aren't you afraid the Sect Master will kill you?"
"Hahaha! Madam! Aren't you curious why I am so bold today, daring to come find you?"
"Why?"
Qin Tian said indifferently, "That useless Old Guy, I have already sent him to meet the King of Hell!"
Zhao Yan'er's delicate body trembled.
After a moment of silence, Qin Tian said, "Yan'er, from now on, you will follow me!"
Zhao Yan'er fell into deep thought.
Her heart was extremely conflicted. Forget it, since the Sect Master was already dead, she couldn't possibly remain a widow for him her entire life, could she?
...
"Madam, the Sect Master has been assassinated. The Elder requests your presence in the main hall!"
"Madam, are you there?"
Zhao Yan'er's delicate body trembled, and she quickly shouted to the maid, "This Madam is currently bathing. I will go after I finish bathing. You wait outside the door and do not enter!"
"Yes, Madam." The maid quickly responded.
The maid standing outside the door heard the shout and her cheeks immediately flushed red, her little heart pounding. She covered her mouth and quickly stood to the side, waiting.
...
After a quarter of an hour.
Qin Tian and Zhao Yan'er prepared to head to the Discussion Hall.
Opening the door, a maid was guarding not far from the doorway.
Qin Tian gave Zhao Yan'er a look, and Zhao Yan'er understood and nodded.
Zhao Yan'er glanced at the maid beside her and said coldly, "Little Cui! If you dare to spread what you saw today, I will throw you into the Myriad Snake Cave to be bitten to death by ten thousand snakes!"
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Little Cui immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, "Madam, please spare my life. This servant knows nothing and absolutely dares not speak nonsense. This servant swears."
"Madam, let's go."
Zhao Yan'er nodded.
...
Heavenly Demon Sect, Discussion Hall.
All the high-level Elders, Hall Masters, and elite Disciples gathered together.
"Grand Elder, what do you mean? My Disciple is not even 20 years old and is already at the Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm. Why can't he be the Sect Master?" The Second Elder roared.
"Your Disciple is lustful by nature and cannot achieve great things. How can he compare to my Disciple?" The Grand Elder said disdainfully.
"You actually slander my Disciple. Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're the Grand Elder."
"Come, come, come, it's been a long time since I've sparred with you. Today, I'll have a match with you."
"As if I'm afraid of you."
Everyone discussed spiritedly, arguing incessantly.
Only one graceful figure hugged Yang Dingtian's arm, heartbroken.
"Father, Lan'er doesn't want you to die, wake up quickly." Yang Menglan was in tears, but Yang Dingtian showed no response.
Ye Fan, standing nearby, nodded to Yang Menglan and gently comforted her, "Junior Sister, the dead cannot be brought back to life. Don't be sad! The most important thing now is to find the true culprit."
"Junior Sister, I promise you, no matter what the cost, I will find the true culprit who killed Master and let you deal with him personally." Ye Fan gritted his teeth.
Yang Menglan cried out in sorrow, choking, "Senior Brother, thank you."
"Madam has arrived."
A loud shout made everyone cease their discussions and look towards the graceful figure outside the hall.
Qin Tian and Zhao Yan'er walked into the main hall, only to see that all the high-level Elders, Hall Masters, and elite Disciples were present.
"Ding, a legendary Child of Destiny has been discovered."
Qin Tian was startled, then overjoyed.
"Scan."
【Ye Fan】
【Identity: Ye Family collateral, Heavenly Demon Sect Sect Master's first Disciple】
【Age: 21】
【Rank: Golden Core first level】
【Relationship: 60】
【Luck Value: 50000】
【Golden Finger: Tianling Domain Ice God Palace Empress's remnant soul】
Good gracious, those surnamed Ye are indeed extraordinary. No matter where they are, they are definitely Protagonist Halos. I didn't expect my Senior Brother to be a Child of Destiny. It seems I need to find a way to fleece him.
Looking at the Saintess in his arms! He already had a plan in his heart.
At this moment, Zhao Yan'er sat on the main seat of the Discussion Hall, glanced at the Elders, and said coldly, "Just now, I heard all the Elders discussing the selection of a new Sect Master?"
"The Sect Master's body is not yet cold, and the murderer has not even been caught. Is it not a bit too much for you all to want to establish a new Sect Master?"
"Madam, please forgive us. We also wish to select a Sect Master as soon as possible to prevent chaos within the sect." The Grand Elder and others bowed in unison.
Although Madam's cultivation was low, in terms of status, she was currently the highest in the Heavenly Demon Sect, and no one dared to disrespect her at this time.
"Have any clues been found now? Do you know who the murderer is?"
As her voice fell, her heart pounded. Although Qin Tian had told her earlier that he had arranged everything, she was still a little worried.
As a woman in her prime, she had been living alone in an empty room for several years, and she didn't want to continue doing so.
"Reporting to Madam, this old man inspected the scene and found that the Sect Master was first poisoned, then stabbed in the heart with a dagger. After killing the Sect Master, the killer killed all the patrolling guards, so there were no eyewitnesses."
"So, that means there are no clues at all?" Zhao Yan'er's eyes turned cold as she said.
At this moment, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The Grand Elder glanced at Ye Fan and said indifferently, "Madam, I found a recording stone in the hand of a guard."
"Grand Elder, since there's a recording stone, why didn't you take it out earlier? Letting us guess wildly here." The Second Elder roared.
"Since the Sect Master was poisoned, only someone close to him would have had this opportunity. If I had taken it out earlier, wouldn't he have run away?"
Seeing that all the important people were present, the Grand Elder immediately threw the recording stone into the air, and soon a scene appeared before everyone's eyes.
A handsome Young Master, dressed in a white robe, was seen holding a jade bowl and entering the Sect Master's sleeping quarters.
"This... this isn't Young Lord Ye Fan, is it? Could it be him?" Everyone was startled by this sudden scene.
Yang Menglan saw this scene and quickly pushed Ye Fan away.
"You... you...!"
"Senior Brother, is it really you?"
"Why?"
"Why?"
Yang Menglan pointed at Ye Fan and roared frantically.
"No... no, it's not me, Junior Sister, believe me, I didn't go to deliver medicine to Master at all. This is all fake, this is all fake." Ye Fan quickly explained.
Then the scene suddenly changed.
Yang Dingtian spat out a large mouthful of black blood.
"Pfft."
A sharp dagger fiercely pierced his heart, and Yang Dingtian collapsed weakly to the ground.
"Ah!"
"Why? Why? I treated you with sincerity, why did you kill my Father?" Yang Menglan's eyes were filled with tears and resentment as she stared at Ye Fan, screaming mournfully.
"Junior Sister, you must believe me. I love you so much, how could I harm Master? Master's kindness to me is as heavy as a mountain, I would never harm him! Besides, I have no motive to harm Master!"
The Grand Elder looked at Ye Fan coldly, "No, you certainly have a motive. Everyone, continue watching."
