C35 (2/2)
Zhang Qingwu had been taught by Zhang Yiming since childhood to call Lin Mo Xiao as his aunt, so he still hadn't changed his mind. Zhang Qingwu paused to ease his emotions, and then said self-reproachfully, ”But as a girl, I am naturally very shy about this kind of thing. How would I dare to go with my father to meet a man I don't know? But I'm really regretful right now. I should listen to my father, so that he won't be miserably attacked by those despicable people. ”
Lu Mingjie's face was gloomy, he could not sit still any longer, stepped onto the stage and scolded: ”Qingwu, what nonsense are you spouting? That day, Ye Mo Han could personally admit that he killed your father. ”
Zhang Qingwu seemed a bit wronged. ”Master, I can be considered your disciple. Do you really believe that he would do something like cheating on Master and exterminating his ancestors?”
Zhang Qingwu's words were very natural and friendly. When Ye Mo Han heard this, he was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to feel in his heart. Ye Wen looked around, but did not find anything out of the ordinary. But everything was normal, which made it seem even weirder.
Lu Mingjie snorted coldly and ignored Zhang Qingwu. Instead, he called Chu Lijun onto the stage and asked Li Zhi Xiang and Chu Liangshan, ”What do you guys think?”
Li Zhixiang bowed towards Lu Mingjie and said, ”Master, please find evidence to prove that you cannot commit the crime of chastity in front of all the heroes of the world just by listening to one side of the story. After all, he is the son of senior apprentice sister Mo Xiao. No matter what, he is still a member of our Hua Shan Sect.
Lu Mingjie laughed coldly, muttering a few words to himself, ”You do not believe my words, to actually listen to this stinking brat.”
”Great Elder Lu, allow me to say something fair.” A man stood up from the stage and spoke over the noise of the square. This person was around the same age as Ye Wen and Liang Rufeng. He wore a silver-gray robe and had a dignified and graceful expression on his face. He held a folding fan in his hand. He was the eldest son of the Nangong family, Nangong Ping. He was the elder brother of Nangong Ding, killed by Liang Rufeng. He was seventeen years old. He relied on his fan to defeat Sun Muxia's prideful disciple, Gao Zhenyuan, causing the latter to commit suicide out of shame.
Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Nangong Ping. Nangong Ping said, ”Regarding the matter of Young Master Ye killing Sect Leader Zhang Yiming, we do not need to be too suspicious. We only need to see who will benefit the most after Sect Leader Zhang Yiming is killed.”
After these words, the crowd below the stage burst into an uproar. Everyone understood the meaning behind Nangong Ping's words. After Zhang Yiming died, Zhang Qingwu ascended the throne. Everyone knew that Lu Qingwu protected him with his name. As an elder figure of the Hua Shan Sect, Lu Mingzi's influence in the Hua Mountain Sect was much greater than anyone else, especially after Zhang Yiming's death, he had emerged from the sect and reorganized some internal affairs. Although he did not have the title of Sect Leader, he had the authority of being the Sect Leader. It was obvious that Lu Ming had become the biggest winner after Zhang Yiming's death. These words from Nangong Ping were no different from identifying Lu Mingjie as the murderer of Zhang Yiming.
Lu Mingjie gave Nangong Ping a sidelong glance, ”So what you're saying is that Young Noble Nangong means that I killed my nephew?”
Nangong Ping bowed towards Zhang Qingwu and said, ”I dare not say, but I am on my way to the Hua Shan Road. I met someone who probably knows something.” I wonder if Sect Leader Zhang would allow me to invite this person out? ”
Who was the person Nangong Ping spoke of? Ye Mo Han had already faintly guessed that Lu Mingjie would have a hard time safely passing through today. Perhaps today would be the day of his death. At this moment, he was wondering why Nangong Ping didn't pay any attention to the murderer of his younger brother. Moreover, from his attitude towards Mo Xiyan, it could be seen that he didn't care about his younger brother's death.
