270: If you don't eat beef, you are a demon cultivator.

“Speak.”

Hearing Lin Ye utter that word, Li Zifeng looked up, his face full of joy.

“Reporting to the Saint, I believe Ye Xiaoyao’s blatant talk of challenging you is an offense to you!”

“Of course, I won’t directly insult him, but I want to ask for your decision, Saint. If a newcomer who just joined the Sect speaks so wildly, saying he wants to challenge the Saint, he’s either seeking attention or he’s arrogant!”

“Whichever it is, I don’t think he’s suitable to be a Disciple of our Righteous Qi Sect!”

Li Zifeng’s words were extremely clever, praising Lin Ye to the heavens while fiercely trampling Ye Xiaoyao, calling him an attention-seeking clown and arrogant.

He didn’t even suggest that the Saint should kill him, but rather said that Ye Xiaoyao was not suitable to stay in the Righteous Qi Sect.

It was truly a killing blow to the heart.

“Li Zifeng! You scoundrel!!!”

Hearing Li Zifeng’s words, Qin Wanru disregarded her earlier fear and stepped forward directly: “You just don’t want to see Senior Brother Xiaoyao get stronger! How could you say such a thing!”

With that, she turned to look at Lin Ye, her voice carrying a hint of pleading: “Saint Senior Brother, please don’t believe him. He’s just jealous of Senior Brother Xiaoyao, which is why he’s saying those things about seeking attention and being arrogant.”

“Senior Brother Xiaoyao is absolutely not that kind of person, and he doesn’t mean to disrespect you!”

Li Zifeng had already made up his mind.

He wanted to get Ye Xiaoyao out of the Righteous Qi Sect, so that Qin Wanru would also not join the Righteous Qi Sect.

Once outside, wouldn't a mere Ye Xiaoyao be easy to deal with?

Either he would make Lin Ye dislike Ye Xiaoyao, leading to his demise.

Or he would make Ye Xiaoyao unable to stay in the Righteous Qi Sect, and once he was outside, he could naturally deal with him.

He could also get Qin Wanru out of the Righteous Qi Sect.

It was simply killing three birds with one stone! No matter how things developed, it would be beneficial to him.

Li Zifeng’s lips curled slightly; now, he wouldn’t bother coaxing Qin Wanru!

As long as Ye Xiaoyao’s matter was resolved first, a mere young girl, wouldn’t she be easily won over with a little coaxing? Then he would let her know what consequences she would face for defying him!

“Ye Xiaoyao.”

Lin Ye turned his gaze to Ye Xiaoyao and spoke indifferently: “Is what he said true?”

“No!”

Ye Xiaoyao’s tone was filled with conviction: “Saint, I have never disrespected you, nor am I arrogant, nor am I trying to gain attention. You are the strongest Cultivator of my generation I have ever seen, so I want to challenge you.”

“This is my Dao Heart, and it is the Dao I should follow in the future!”

“Mm.”

Lin Ye nodded, then looked back at Li Zifeng.

“Did you hear what he said?”

“No!!!”

Li Zifeng grew anxious; this matter couldn't just pass so easily, otherwise, wouldn't he only end up offending Qin Wanru?

“Saint, you can’t do this! Ye Xiaoyao doesn’t put you, the Saint, in his eyes! How can such a person continue to stay in our Sect?!”

“If everyone were to follow his example, wouldn’t you, Saint, be exhausted, having to deal with challenges every day?”

“I propose expelling him from the Sect, or directly killing him here!”

“Li Zifeng! Are you insane!!!”

Qin Wanru heard Li Zifeng’s words, her face full of disbelief, not expecting that he actually wanted to use someone else to kill.

But Li Zifeng was now consumed by anger and couldn't care less. Just as his plan was about to succeed, the Saint suddenly became so agreeable!

Weren’t you the one who killed just now!

What Righteous Path Cultivator, was that a reason?!

Why did he so easily forgive Ye Xiaoyao now?

The Elders on the platform shook their heads, looking at Li Zifeng with resignation.

Using someone else to kill?

Even if you want to use a scheme, this is too obvious. The Saint isn't an idiot, can't he see through it?

Alas…

This child is beyond saving!

A strange smile played on Lin Ye’s face as he spoke to Li Zifeng: “Oh? You want to tell me how to do things?”

“No! I wouldn’t dare!”

No matter how angry Li Zifeng was, he didn't dare to confront Lin Ye directly. This wasn't his home; this was the Righteous Qi Sect! Given Lin Ye’s decisiveness in killing just now, what if he directly attacked him?

“I’m just reminding the Saint that a person like Ye Xiaoyao absolutely cannot be kept. If anyone can just say they want to challenge the Saint and join Qingyou Peak without any punishment, wouldn’t everyone challenge you then!”

Ye Xiaoyao turned to look at Li Zifeng.

His eyes were filled with confusion.

There wasn't even a trace of anger at being framed by the other party.

He was wondering if Li Zifeng had truly gone mad, to even say such things to remind the Saint?

“Heh heh…”

Lin Ye chuckled twice, his expression somewhat strange, staring at Li Zifeng. Just as Li Zifeng was getting unnerved by his gaze, the next sentence almost made him jump.

“Why do I look at you and see someone like a spy from a Demonic Sect?”

“Who? Me? No! Absolutely not!!!”

Li Zifeng quickly denied it, cold sweat continuously dripping from his forehead.

Although he didn't know why Lin Ye, this Demonic Cultivator, always claimed to be on the Righteous Path and killed others under the pretense of them being Demonic Cultivators.

But Li Zifeng understood that with Lin Ye saying this, he definitely had murderous intent towards him!

“If you’re not a spy from a Demonic Sect, why did you immediately try to use me to kill? You want to use my hand to kill Ye Xiaoyao? And you still say you’re not a Demonic Cultivator?”

Lin Ye’s tone was calm, and he didn’t show even a hint of killing intent.

But there was still blood on the ground!

The scent of blood even lingered in the air, left by the deaths of those three just now.

Li Zifeng shook his head frantically.

“Saint, I am absolutely not a spy! Believe me! I said these things not to use you to kill, but because I feel Ye Xiaoyao, he disrespected you!”

“You’re not a Demonic Cultivator?”

“I’m definitely not! Absolutely not!”

Hearing Lin Ye’s question, Li Zifeng’s voice was filled with anxiety, and he even looked at Qin Wanru with a pleading gaze.

Because just now, as soon as Qin Wanru spoke, Lin Ye directly slaughtered those three.

Perhaps Lin Ye had taken a liking to Qin Wanru?

As long as she spoke, Lin Ye should let him go.

But at this moment, how could Qin Wanru speak up for Li Zifeng?

“Alright, no need to be so nervous.”

Lin Ye chuckled: “Go back, I was just asking.”

Hearing this, Li Zifeng breathed a sigh of relief, he had thought Lin Ye was really going to make a move.

“By the way.”

Just as Li Zifeng was about to return to the crowd, Lin Ye seemingly casually asked: “Do you eat beef?”

“Ah? I don’t.”

As a Cultivator, how could he eat such mundane things?

“Not eating beef means you’re a Demonic Cultivator!”

“What?!”
