Xie Ban Gui wanted me to frame Jiang Junci, but I couldn't turn him into some kind of master thief or anything like that.

If I did, Jiang Junci's reputation would be completely ruined, and he would have no place in the martial world.

I didn't have any great feud with Jiang Junci, so that would be going too far.

The false impression I'm creating is that some force wanted to provoke a conflict between the Coffin Gate and the Samsara Division. After their scheme was exposed, they abandoned Zhu Zining and Jiang Junci and fled.

This force that provoked the two major sects is a perfect fit for Yi Tianqi Zhu.

Except for a few insiders, no one would suspect our Liangjie Hall.

Even if there are any loopholes in my plan, Xie Ban Gui and Gao Pangzi will help me clean up, so there will be absolutely no problems!

Moreover, I don't believe that the number two or three figures of the Seven Killings lineage are that reckless.

Some people's crudeness and recklessness are innate and can't be changed, while others' recklessness is just for show, and they are more slippery than ghosts on the inside.

The Seven Killings lineage mobilized in full force. Could it be that Xiao Mao'er, who can act as a calming influence, really didn't catch up with the main force?

Some people believe this explanation, but I don't!

As I expected, the Coffin Gate and the Samsara Division actually sat down to negotiate.

After the Coffin Gate made some insignificant compensation, in order to quell the Samsara Division's anger, they expelled Jiang Junci from the sect on the grounds of "improper behavior."

On the surface, the Coffin Gate made a concession, but in reality, the Samsara Division suffered a great loss!

Not counting the manpower lost in the conflict, they lost at least five or six high-level members, including a grand elder and a left guardian.

More importantly, the Coffin Gate's "improper behavior" is tantamount to confirming that something happened between Jiang Junci and Zhu Zining, right?

Jiang Junci could be said to have been drugged or controlled by a sorcerer.

What about Zhu Zining?

No matter what the reason, from now on, being pure and flawless has nothing to do with her!

The Holy Maiden definitely can't be a saint anymore, just waiting to be replaced!

I originally planned to find Jiang Junci and drag him into Liangjie Hall after both sides withdrew, and train him well... no, train him properly.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Zining came to my door instead.

The first thing the haggard Zhu Zining said when she saw me was: "Was it you who set up the trap when Jiang Junci and I were kidnapped?"

Wang Tu Fu waved his hand and said, "Hey, Holy Maiden Zhu, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Our Liangjie Hall is a small family and can't withstand the turmoil of your great Samsara Division. Don't just come up and pin a label on me!"

I sneered, "Senior Sister, can't you see? The Samsara Division can't find the real culprit, has nowhere to save face, and came to us to find a scapegoat!"

I raised my face at Zhu Zining: "If you want to do something, just name it, and our Liangjie Hall will accompany you to the end!"

Zhu Zining shook her head and said, "I didn't expect that Qu Mo, who was upright and forthright all his life, would actually take in such a rogue and irresponsible disciple!"

I sneered, "It's not your place to evaluate whether I'm responsible or not. If you don't want to do anything, please get out. You're not welcome here."

Wang Tu Fu said with interest, "Holy Maiden Zhu, your questioning is so unreasonable."

"No matter what Jianghu people do, they must have a purpose. You say that our Liangjie Hall is the mastermind behind this conspiracy, then I ask you, what is our purpose in doing this?"

"To avenge Qu Mo!" Zhu Zining stared straight into my eyes, "Back then, the Samsara Division ruined Qu Mo's reputation, so you want to retaliate against me in the same way!"

Zhu Zining stood up when she got excited, "Don't forget, I'm your Shiniang (martial aunt/master's wife)!"

Zhu Zining was right!

Because of the relationship between Zhu Zining and my Shifu (master), I can't kill her. However, not killing doesn't mean I won't retaliate. At the very least, I have to get some interest back.

I sneered, "If I had done this, do you think you would only have Jiang Junci on you? I would have sold you to an old bachelor in the countryside long ago, and with high turnover at low profit, believe it or not?"

"Also, I'm warning you, don't try to establish a relationship with me!"

"Are you married to my Shifu (master)? How dare you call yourself my Shiniang (martial aunt/master's wife)."

Wang Tu Fu interjected, "That's right! As long as you haven't officially married Senior Qu, you two don't count as a couple. Since ancient times, cohabitation has not been protected by law!"

I sneered, "If you really live together, it's nothing for me to call you Shiniang (martial aunt/master's wife)! Have you two gotten together?"

Zhu Zining sighed, "I had many misunderstandings with Qu Mo before. I hope you can give me some time. I want to tell you..."

I forcibly interrupted Zhu Zining, "Don't tell me anything! Go talk to my Shifu (master). Please leave now!"

Zhu Zining said excitedly, "Li Po, are you unwilling to even listen to my difficulties back then, and just want to define me as an enemy?"

I spread my hands and said, "That's funny! You're telling me about the emotional entanglements between you and my Shifu (master)? Who am I? Why should I listen to your love affairs?"

"You can talk about this kind of thing, but you have to choose the right person, right? Some things, if you talk about them with the wrong generation, that's just being indecent, you understand?"

"Now, please leave!"
