Refuse to trample on the pride of heaven

Chapter 245 Asking

"After all, he is a disciple of your Discipline Hall. According to Master's personality, he will probably be handed over to Uncle Jun and the Grand Elder to make the decision. You can go and ask Uncle Jun's opinion."

Lu Wensheng: "Okay, I'll discuss it with Master." Uncle Tao Yin was trying to be smooth.

"I will send someone to look after him while he is in the prison tower." Ji Yanli guessed that there was another hidden story, and he was willing to help as long as it did not violate the sect rules.

"Thank you for your help, Senior Brother Ji."

"Easy to do."

After telling Ji Yanli about the matter, Lu Wensheng planned to go to the Discipline Hall first to calm everyone down. When he entered the hall, he was a little surprised to see the disciples working as usual, but then he was relieved.

"Senior Brother Lu!" When the disciples saw Lu Wensheng, they immediately surrounded him.

Lu Wensheng knew what they wanted to ask: "Just pretend you don't know about this matter, just do your work step by step, don't go out and ask, I will find a way to deal with the rest..."

Wu Feipeng: "Can I visit you in the prison tower? Will Brother Duan be bullied? Brother Lu, are you planning to do that?"

Lu Wensheng was stunned by the other party's series of questions. Liu Jiqian just heard the news and rushed over. It was hard for him to find time in his busy schedule.

Also coming with them were Yan Qingshu and other disciples.

Song Wen and Zhang Zhixu were full of gossip: "I heard that you have caught a demon cultivator here?"

Li Ruixi was a little worried: "Why did it happen?"

Jin Jianxian didn't say anything, but there was worry in his eyes.

Yan Qingshu didn't say anything. She really wanted to ask if it had anything to do with Shi Yubai, but she hesitated to speak. She blushed from holding it in and wished she could turn into a horse.

Lu Wensheng: This news spreads really quickly.

Liu Jiqian was a little more clear: "Duan Jiashu's fate will not be as quick as the previously executed demon cultivators, but there are a few more people involved in the process. It would be best to go find Uncle Jun or my grandfather. This matter can only be delayed, and we can find a solution later. The most urgent task is to save Duan Jiashu's life."

Lu Wensheng nodded: "Senior Brother Ji also said that, I was planning to go over there." After saying that, he looked at the others.

"You are so concerned, but do you want to go together?"

Seeing Jun Ning?! Everyone's heads were shaking like rattles.

Song Wen: "Ahem, I just came here to ask, it's good if you have any ideas, I'm leaving now."

Zhang Zhixu: "I remembered that there is something I haven't done yet."

Yan Qingshu: "Forget it, it feels like I'm facing the Dean of the Academic Affairs Office. Well, I'll get busy."

Jin Jianxian stammered, "Master is still asking me to do my homework, I'm going back first."

Seeing that they all left, Li Ruixi smiled gently and left as well. Everyone left in a hurry, just as they came in a hurry, waving their sleeves and leaving without taking a cloud with them.

Lu Wensheng looked at the other disciples, who all dispersed as if they were busy.

Lu Wensheng: “…”

Liu Jiqian said that he could go together, but he didn't go in when he reached the door, which made Lu Wensheng a little puzzled.

I only saw a beautiful lady with a delicate face, her eyes twinkling, but she smiled very gently: "I'm afraid Master Jun will kick me out, that would be really ugly."

Lu Wensheng didn’t quite understand — why did Master kick Liu Jiqian out?

But Lu Wensheng didn't ask any more questions.

The matter of Duan Jiashu was spread to those close relatives, and even the busy Liu Jiqian knew about it. Master must have known about it as well. Looking at Master's door, Lu Wensheng was a little unsure for a moment, but he still pushed the door open.

"Why doesn't Junior Brother Liu come in?" Jun Ning suddenly asked while sitting inside.

Lu Wensheng didn't quite understand what his master meant. According to the other party's spiritual sense, asking Liu Jiqian to come in was just a matter of words. Why didn't Liu Jiqian say anything when he left, but asked him again after he came in?

"Disciple does not know..."

"Huh, quite clever." Otherwise she would really kick out this smug pig that was showing off its cabbage.

(Author’s explanation: Liu Jiqian did not mean to show off)

"Ahem, Master, this time I'm here to plead for Duan Jiashu..." Lu Wensheng began to introduce Duan Jiashu to the sect. He told him everything he observed after realizing that the other party was an undercover agent, as well as the information provided by Wu Feipeng.

Jun Ning thought for a while.

"Even if what you said is true, his situation is really special. There has never been a case of letting an undercover demon cultivator go before in the cultivation world. Moreover, you knew his identity but did not report it. This is a huge mistake. You should at least let me know."

"Yes, disciple knows he was wrong, and he won't do such stupid things again." The main reason was that he didn't quite know his master's bottom line in this regard. People's thoughts and behaviors were the most difficult to predict. He didn't mind his master just talking, but he was afraid that Duan Jiashu would be in danger.

At this point, Lu Wensheng also realized that something was wrong - he was used to solving problems on his own, which was both a responsibility and a limitation.

Jun Ning knew that Lu Wensheng was not a reckless child, and she had some guesses about his behavior of concealing the truth. It was only because she knew this disciple well that she would have been worried about whether her disciple had gone astray. How could she have the mind to sit and wait for her disciple to understand the truth before coming to her?

She sighed, feeling both angry and relieved at his cautious attitude.

"...Since you have the intention to observe him, what have you gained during this period?"

Lu Wensheng's mind was slightly moved, and he mixed in his own thoughts: "Master, please don't be angry if I speak frankly. I'm afraid that Junior Brother Shi... has a problem."

Jun Ning closed his eyes, but his expression was not surprised: "Yes, Master knows."

Lu Wensheng looked at her with some surprise. Why did he feel that his master was not surprised at all? Although he was curious, Lu Wensheng did not ask more questions - if his master wanted to tell him, he would tell him naturally.

"But this is not enough. This is just your opinion. If you can come up with more concrete evidence and find a way to prove Shi Yubai's problem... and it would be best if Duan Jiashu could also honestly tell us some information, then maybe there would be room for us to plead for him."

As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Wensheng knew his master’s position, and his uneasy heart was immediately put at ease.

"Yes." Then he freed his hands and stared at Shi Yubai?

Jun Ning saw through his thoughts at a glance: "Don't do the opposite. There have been undercurrents in the sect recently. Don't put all your attention on him. Only by letting the line be long can you catch big fish. Sometimes the line is too tight, and the bait will be wasted..."

"Disciple knows."

"......Yangming, you may not understand the master-disciple relationship in the world of cultivation. The master and you are not as separate as you think. In the mortal world, the former teaches skills, while the latter is responsible for all aspects. For you and me, the saying "once a teacher, always a father" can be interpreted."

This was the first time that the master called him like this, and Lu Wensheng showed a surprised and confused expression.
