Chapter 940: Framing
Now that Zhu Tianzhi had given him this token, what was his intention? Yue Qingjie was a little confused.
But his confusion was immediately cleared with the next words that were spoken by Zhu Tianzhi.
“Lure Ling Chuxi to Flowing Cloud Valley.” Zhu Tianzhi’s voice was very soft and calm as if he was talking about a very common thing.
When Yue Qingjie heard this, his expression slightly changed. Zhu Tianzhi was really vicious!
The Flowing Cloud Valley was the forbidden area of Flowing Cloud Sect!
He wanted to kill Ling Chuxi, as well as implicate and attack Ling Wushang, thus killing two birds with one stone.
And Zhu Tianzhi had implicated all of this so lightly. The darkness in his heart and shrewdness of his character was clearly communicated.
“Guardian Yue, you have to be more careful,” said Zhu Tianzhi calmly as he looked at Yue Qingjie with a faint smile.
“Don’t worry, Sect Leader,” said Yue Qingjie confidently as he put away the sect leader’s disciple token. “Await my good news.”
“Okay, take care.” Zhu Tianzhi nodded with a smile.
Yue Qingjie took the token and left Zhu Tianzhi’s room.
…
The night was as cold as water. Ling Chuxi sat cross-legged on the bed quietly and focused on practising the Sword Heart Soul Breaking technique that Cang Yuan had taught her. Little White and Little Red were not in the room. One of them seemed to have gone to look for food, while the other went somewhere else.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
“Miss Ling Chuxi, sorry to bother you.” A polite voice came from outside.
Ling Chuxi opened her eyes, got off the bed, and opened the door. She saw a man in green clothes waiting outside with his head lowered. When he heard Ling Chuxi come out, the man hurriedly said, “Miss Ling Chuxi, I’m sorry to disturb you so late. I’m Yuan Hui, and I’m here by the order of the sect leader to invite you to a gathering. The sect leader also told me that you’re Uncle Ling’s sister, so there’s no need to be too formal.” The final sentence explained why the man called her Miss Ling Chuxi instead of the sect leader.
“Huh?” Ling Chuxi looked at the person in front of her with some confusion. Didn’t Big Brother say that he would arrange for her to meet the sect leader? Why would he send this person? Or was it an order from the Flowing Clouds Sect’s leader?
“Miss Ling Chuxi, your big brother always treated people coldly. Today, when the sect leader heard that Uncle Ling had met you, he laughed so hard that he couldn’t close his mouth, so he wanted to meet you,” said Yuan Hui before revealing the token. Yuan Hui was holding an extraordinary quality token. Ling Chuxi looked at it and recognized that it was the sect leader’s disciple token. Other than the sect leader’s token, this token was the highest in Flowing Clouds Sect. Although she had some doubts, Yuan Hui’s words and the token convinced Ling Chuxi to temporarily suppress her doubts.
“Okay, sorry to trouble you, Big Brother. Please lead the way,”said Ling Chuxi as she nodded.
“Please follow me,” said Yuan Hui respectfully before leading the way.
The two of them walked out of the courtyard one after the other. Not long after, Little Red, who was eating in the cafeteria, ran over. He quickly hugged Ling Chuxi’s thigh and climbed up, skillfully getting into her bag. In the next moment, Little White came out of nowhere and jumped onto Ling Chuxi’s shoulder.
Ling Chuxi followed behind Yuan Hui and gradually entered the inner part of Flowing Clouds Sect. Along the way, the scenery was beautifully breathtaking.
“Miss Ling Chuxi, this is Flowing Clouds Valley. It’s where our sect leader cultivates. I can’t go in. So, Miss Ling Chuxi, you will have to meet the sect leader yourself from here on,” said Yuan Hui to Ling Chuxi as he stopped in his tracks.
