Fairy Chang Ye was attacked by the Demonic Path and is now heavily injured and unconscious?
A look of surprise flashed across Qian Lin's face. She instinctively turned to look at Ye Qiuhan and found that this girl was just like her, her face full of bewilderment.
Just as they suspected her, she was attacked and heavily injured. This was a bit too coincidental, wasn't it?
"At the time, Chang Ye and the Penglai Disciples were preparing for the next concert. That Demonic Path practitioner appeared out of nowhere and attacked Chang Ye's group. To protect the Penglai Disciples beside her, Chang Ye took several hits from that Demonic Path practitioner. Finally, under the siege of other Sacred Land Disciples in the academy, that Demonic Path practitioner blew himself up." The Blue Skirt Senior Sister gave a brief overview of the situation to Qian Lin and Ye Qiuhan.
"I'm going to see Chang Ye now. Are you two planning to go back to the dorms or wander around the Middle Courtyard a bit more?"
"Qian Lin and I will play in the Middle Courtyard for a while longer!" Ye Qiuhan answered directly before Qian Lin could.
"Alright, other Disciples from the academy are still secretly protecting you. I'll be going then."
The Blue Skirt Senior Sister left on her Flying Sword. Qian Lin turned to look at Ye Qiuhan and found the young girl staring solemnly at the ground. Noticing Qian Lin's gaze, she looked up and said softly, "What kind of person do you think Fairy Chang Ye is?"
It seems we both thought of the same thing. Qian Lin narrowed her eyes and replied, "A very beautiful Penglai Disciple with quite a good talent in the path of music. Her popularity is usually considered extremely good."
Fairy Chang Ye is only seventeen or eighteen years old this year. I heard she was originally a student of Honghu Academy. After breaking through to the Heart Nurturing Realm, she was taken in by Penglai. However, she didn't go directly to Penglai to cultivate like other Disciples who were taken in; instead, she chose to continue her cultivation here at Honghu Academy.
In her own words, the Cultivation Technique she practices needs popularity and requires more people to know her music.
So, she stayed here at Honghu Academy and has been continuously holding concerts over the past few years.
"However, her talent isn't actually that good. At eighteen, she still hasn't broken through to the Body Tempering Realm. This talent can only be considered mediocre within a Holy Land."
Fairy Chang Ye's talent would be considered quite good in the outside world. It wouldn't be a problem for her to become an Inner Sect Disciple or even a Personal Disciple in other Righteous Path Sects. But she joined Penglai, one of the Seven Great Holy Lands of the Righteous Path.
Within a Holy Land, Fairy Chang Ye's talent isn't so prominent; she could only become an ordinary Outer Sect Disciple.
And... the former Qian Lin had never heard of the name Fairy Chang Ye, not even once. This meant the owner of this name had long since been submerged in the rolling torrents of history.
Perhaps she died in a conflict with the Demonic Path, or perhaps she unfortunately lost her life during some Secret Realm exploration. In short, she died early and had no fame.
"I think it's her." Ye Qiuhan looked at Qian Lin, saying it word by word.
"Have you seen her? Why do I feel like you have quite a grievance against her?" Looking at Ye Qiuhan's small face, Qian Lin asked curiously.
"No, I've never met her." Shaking her head, Ye Qiuhan said with a stubborn look, "But I feel like she's the one who did it."
Uh, seriously suspecting someone without even having met them... If she didn't know Ye Qiuhan's personality, Qian Lin would probably think this little girl was the villain.
Finding fault with the protagonist for no reason, then getting slapped in the face and losing face, then continuing to find fault and getting slapped again, and finally having a mental breakdown and turning to the Demonic Path to deliver their head to the protagonist. Well, that's how it's written in storybooks.
But this black-haired Stupid Girl likely wouldn't be that kind of character. Although her suspicion had no logic, Qian Lin was willing to believe her.
For the sake of those thousand-plus Spirit Stones.
"Fine, then let's go kill her." Qian Lin nodded.
Such a decisive choice stunned Ye Qiuhan. She thought Qian Lin would at least continue to ask for her reasons for suspecting Fairy Chang Ye, but how did Qian Lin just skip the verification stage and jump straight to the step of killing Fairy Chang Ye!
That's way too fast!
"Right now, Fairy Chang Ye is heavily injured and unconscious. There must be many experts protecting her. It will be very difficult to strike at this time." Qian Lin's expression looked a bit hesitant.
Don't actually start seriously considering such a terrifying thing!
"It's just suspicion right now. We can't be sure if she's that Demonic Path practitioner yet!" Ye Qiuhan said quickly, lest Qian Lin really get hot-headed and go kill Fairy Chang Ye.
When the time comes and others ask Qian Lin why she killed Fairy Chang Ye, and Qian Lin names her, well, they'd both be finished.
"Suspicion is enough. Don't you Righteous Path people always act directly once you have a suspicion? Or did I misunderstand?" Qian Lin tilted her head and asked in confusion.
The group of Righteous Path people she met before all shouted, "Devil Head, you did xxx and killed xxx, I won't let you off!" and then rushed up to deliver their heads.
It made Qian Lin think the Righteous Path were all brainless fools. If you suspect, then suspect, but at least go find some evidence to prove those things were done by me, okay? Some things are obvious at a glance that they have nothing to do with me, Qian Lin.
"Why do you have such a wrong perception! We of the Righteous Path are very reasonable... right?" For some reason, as she reached the second half of the sentence, Ye Qiuhan herself became a bit unsure, as if she had done something wrong.
Strange, why do I feel this way?
Shaking her head vigorously to shake off the odd emotion, Ye Qiuhan said to Qian Lin, "Anyway, we can't act recklessly. Fairy Chang Ye is an Outer Sect Disciple of Penglai. If we kill her directly, that would be provoking Penglai. That's a very, very big deal."
The most critical thing was Fairy Chang Ye's identity; she was a Disciple of Penglai, with a Holy Land standing behind her.
If it could be proven that she was of the Demonic Path, then everything wouldn't be a problem. But if it couldn't be proven, then Penglai would be Fairy Chang Ye's greatest protector.
And right now, the probability of Fairy Chang Ye being of the Demonic Path, in the eyes of others, was almost zero.
Every time a murder occurred, Fairy Chang Ye was not at the scene, and now Fairy Chang Ye had been injured by the Demonic Path. Does this look like there's a possibility of her being of the Demonic Path?
No normal person would think she's of the Demonic Path!
"Tsk, then I have no choice. You find a way to prove Fairy Chang Ye is of the Demonic Path." Qian Lin sighed with some regret. Being a member of the Righteous Path was indeed quite troublesome... Do you guys think the new cover is better or the old one?
