Chapter 961: Mei Qianqian’s Reputation

”Wuji, please save my lady.” Mian He broke down into tears after entering the living room of Mo Wuji's immortal estate.

She didn't have any other options. If she hadn't heard by chance that Mo Wuji could grow Green Dew Rice and received the favour of the sect head, she wouldn't even have this last lifeline.

”Miss Mian He, sit down and speak slowly. There's no rush.” Mo Wuji quickly said.

Only then did Mian He notice that the sect head and Elder Shi was here, hence she frantically bowed respectfully.

”Mian He, what happened?” Xi Lingru frowned as he asked. Even he knew that the Firmament Pond Mountain was looked down upon in the sect, but he had promised Mei Qianqian's husband, You Zhuo, that he would take care of Mei Qianqian. Hence, he had looked after her all this while, even giving her the Firmament Pond Mountain that You Zhuo left behind.

Seeing that the sect head was also at Mo Wuji's place, Mian He was a little more confident.

”Jing Wei killed Elder Sister Mei Lu and Elder Sister Qiu Ling and beat my lady to a pulp. He also detained my lady, and made her…” Mian He didn't continue speaking, but from her tears, Mo Wuji knew that Mei Qianqian was in danger.

When he heard their conversation, Xi Lingru's expression turned ugly, and he didn't really want to discuss this matter anymore, immediately saying, ”I got it. Leave first, I'll deal with this when I return.”

Upon hearing this, Mian He's face turned pale, and she stared pleadingly at Mo Wuji. Although she knew that Mo Wuji owed his position to the sect head's favour, as of now her pleas seemed to be useless. However, she didn't have any other option.

Mo Wuji bowed respectfully towards Xi Lingru, ”Sect head, I am indebted to Elder Sister Mei, so I hope that I can help her once.”

This placed Xi Lingru in a spot. He was furious at Jing Wei who ignored his instructions, but yet he couldn't deal with Jing Wei either.

Yu Chuo, who stood at the side holding her veil, spoke, ”Killing a disciple within the sect for no reason. Even if it were a service disciple, this is definitely not allowed in the High Firmament God Sect. Even if that person was the sect head, it wouldn't be permitted either.”

All this while, Mo Wuji thought that Yu Chuo's cultivation level was much lower than Chi Kun's while her position seemed to be above Chi Kun.

Indeed, right after Yu Chuo finished speaking, Chi Kun turned to face Mo Wuji and asked, ”Pill Master Mo, how do you think this issue should be handled?”

Mo Wuji bowed respectfully at Chi Kun before doing the same towards Xi Lingru, ”Sect head, I think we should bring Mei Qianqian and Jing Wei here for questioning so that we may learn the truth.”

While it was Chi Kun trying to help them out, but Mo Wuji couldn't directly ask Chi Kun for help. He was this clear about following the correct chain of command.

Just as Yu Chuo had said, Jing Wei killed at a whim in the sect, so he was obviously not some good apple. Once everyone was brought over for questioning, no matter how much higher ground Jing Wei had, Mei Qianqian wouldn't be reduced to being beaten up.

A troubled expression appeared on Xi Lingru while he said, ”Wuji, why don't we just summon Mei Qianqian and leave Jing Wei out…”

But Mo Wuji didn't respond, so how should he have carried on? Helping to get Mei Qianqian let Wei Jing go was just something not worth doing.

Chi Kun sighed at one side, ”Sect Head Xi, I admire your cultivation level and foresight, but there doesn't seem to be much of a point to go to the High God Lands if this is how you deal with internal sect affairs.”

If this was before they met Mo Wuji, then Chi Kun wouldn't have dared to say such things. For an experienced old man like him, how could he not know that the main priority was to build a connection with Mo Wuji? Everything else would be easier to negotiate for if Mo Wuji had a good impression of him and there was some rift between Mo Wuji and Xi Lingru.

These words made Xi Lingru's heart shudder. As the head of a sect, how couldn't he understand what Chi Kun meant? Once Mo Wuji fell out with him, and directly left with Chi Kun, then his Minor High Firmament Sect would not be able to get anything.

”Elder Shi, quickly bring all the involved people over.” Xi Lingru ordered without hesitation after thinking through the entire incident.

Moreover, he was very decisive. Not only was Jing Wei brought over, the rest of the people involved were summoned as well.

”Roger.” Elder Shi disappeared with a flash.

Since the last time Guang Zhi was killed in Minor High Firmament Village, transfer arrays were set up between Minor High Firmament Village and Minor High Firmament Sect. Mian He had to use a escape talisman to arrive here after traveling for a long time while Elder Shi Yi only had to activate the array to return to the sect.
