Everyone present was stunned on the spot. They couldn't believe that the person in front of them was really Shi Ling. Was it Shi Ling, who was always being bullied by them without any ability to resist?

All of a sudden, everyone, including those who were happy with Shi Ling's humiliation, became dumbfounded. At the same time, the handsome young man sitting not far away frowned as he saw his underling being knocked down to the ground in twos and threes.

Just as he was about to stand up, a man in blue beside him grabbed his hand and shook his head. Then, the handsome youth heard a loud shout and said, "Who is gathering here to fight!"

At the same time, there was an old man in a white robe among them, with a green wooden sword hanging from his waist, emitting a biting sword aura. It was the leader of the group, Gu Canghai, who swept his turbid old eyes across the field before turning his gaze towards Liu Tie.

At this time, Shi Ling cupped his hands towards Yan Wuping and said, "Reporting to Martial Uncle Yan, Martial Uncle Wu Tie has gone too far and wants to snatch my orchid fragrance. Since I didn't give it to them, they relied on their numbers to make a move against me, so I took the initiative to defend them and asked Martial Uncle Yan to seek justice for me."

However, at this time, Liu Tie immediately ran over and said loudly, "Martial Uncle Yan is only framing us. It's not that we want to snatch his orchid fragrance, but when we were clearing up the spoils of war, we found that our orchid fragrance was a lot lesser, so we wanted to look for it at Junior Brother Shi Ling's place. Unexpectedly, Junior Brother Shi Ling actually attacked us a lot.

As he said this, he lifted up his clothes in front of the crowd and saw that there was an extremely clear fist imprint on his abdomen. If it went any deeper, it would probably be able to instantly take his life.

At the same time, those disciples who were kicked away by Shi Ling all walked over at the same time, and they all let out miserable shrieks as if they were all injured. A disciple then said, "Martial Uncle Yan, what Hee Tian said was not wrong. Everyone saw what happened just now. We were speaking properly with Wu Tie, but he attacked us."

Someone said, "Yes, Martial Uncle Yan. Moreover, according to the sect's rules, disciples are forbidden to beat each other in private. Shi Ling's actions just now simply turned a blind eye to the sect's rules. Such an outrageous person should be severely punished!"

When Yan Wuping heard this, he coldly snorted. He then looked towards Shi Ling and said, "Shi Ling, what else do you have to say?"

However, Shi Ling snorted with laughter at this and said, "Bullsh * t! If they hadn't threatened me just now, why would I have fought against them? Furthermore, I don't know which eye of Hee Tian saw me take your You Orchid Fragrance? "

Yan Wuping then looked at Hee Tian, only to see Hee Tian chuckling strangely and saying, "Isn't this simple? Take out all the Youlan Fragrance that Junior Brother Shi Ling has and let us compare them one by one to see if we have anything!"

Shi Ling immediately clenched his fists when he heard this. The intention of this bastard was very obvious, the moment he opened up the orchid fragrance in his bag and exposed it to the crowd, then there might be people who would feel sympathy for him. At that time, it would be hard to save the orchid fragrance, but if he didn't open up the thing, then he would be telling everyone that he had something in his heart that he didn't dare to open it.

For a moment, Shi Ling unexpectedly found himself in a dilemma. Of course, if Shi Ling knew that their leader Gu Canghai was also here, he wouldn't think this way. After all, no one here dared to steal from this elder.

At the moment, he heard Yan Wuping say: "Shi Ling, since Wu Tie has already said so, then take out your orchid fragrance for them to compare, and it can also prove your innocence. If you really didn't take their things, then this martial uncle will definitely uphold justice for you."

Shi Ling looked at the ugly faces around him and the anger in his heart couldn't be suppressed. At the same time, he looked at Yan Wuping; in fact, Shi Ling already knew that Yan Wuping and Hee Tian were on the same side and that the other party would speak up for Hee Tian no matter what. Therefore, according to Shi Ling's current situation, this Zi You Lan might not be able to protect him anymore.

Immediately, Shi Ling clenched his fists and took a deep breath. Just as he was about to take down his bag, an old voice sounded out, "I don't think it's that simple, right?"

At this moment, Hee Tian, who was sneering at Shi Ling, also had his expression frozen on his face. Shi Ling also looked up and saw a white robed old man walking out with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over Shi Ling's body before landing on Hee Tian.

Yan Wuping and the other stewards beside the old man bowed, "Senior Gu!"

Hearing that, Shi Ling was stunned, and muttered in his heart: "This old guy is the leader elder!" "Gu Canghai!"

Immediately, he heard Gu Canghai say to Hee Tian, "Just now, you said that this young man might have taken your Youlan Fragrance?"

Hee Tian quickly cupped his fist and said, "Yes, there was a fellow junior brother who saw Junior Brother Shi Ling sneaking around our place, looking for something. After that, our Youlan Fragrance was reduced, so we suspect that he was from Shi Ling's side."

However, Gu Canghai said: "How many stalks of orchid fragrance were there before, and how many stalks are there now?"

He didn't know how many plants there were, but since the leader of the group was right in front of him, it was impossible for him to not know. He could only brace himself and continue, "There were 23 before it was lost, but there were only 12 after it was lost."

Hee Tian said this because there were only 12 plants on their side. Nobody had seen this orchid fragrance before, so who knows how many plants there were before it was stolen?

However, Gu Canghai shouted loudly: "Why didn't you hand in twenty or so Violent Serene Orchids?! Do you want to take it for yourself and ignore the sect's mission!? "

The people around him along with Hee Tian also knelt down. They heard Hee Tian say, "Elder, this disciple was being chased by the Ghost Eye Demon Ape earlier, and since I came back, I have been recuperating from my injuries, so I forgot about this matter. It wasn't until something was stolen that I remembered."

Gu Canghai snorted and said, "Alright, I'll believe you for now. Now tell me, who was it that saw this young man called Shi Ling steal your Youlan Fragrance?"

Hee Tian was confused again, he was already cursing in his heart, "This old fart must have taken the wrong medicine today, why is he chasing after me all the time?" At the same time, his gaze swept the surroundings once again. He then casually pointed to a companion beside him and said, "It's him!"

That person was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and said, "Yes, that's right. I saw Shi Ling sneakily lurking at our place before."

Gu Canghai asked again: "Then tell me, when and where did you see Shi Ling stealing your stuff!"

Faced with Gu Canghai's questioning, the person was dumbfounded. He immediately said without any hesitation, "I saw it outside our tent this morning!"

But just as he finished speaking, he heard a voice, "Shi Ling has been out for the past two days and didn't come back until a quarter of an hour ago. Tell me, how did he steal your things in the morning?"

At this time, Shi Ling turned around and looked. He was immediately overjoyed. The person who came was the senior who came to look for Shi Ling with Loong Yang.

The senior brother nodded at Shi Ling, then turned to Gu Canghai and cupped his fist, "Elder, this disciple just heard that this person is threatening Junior Brother Shi Ling and wants to snatch Junior Brother Shi Ling's Youlan Fragrance. Elder, please enlighten me!"

Gu Canghai immediately laughed and then said, "Hee Tian and the rest of you want to get into trouble and threaten your fellow sect members, you should punish them severely. Come, capture these people and whip them twenty times to make an example for them!"

After saying that, a few stewards appeared and captured those people, causing those people to turn pale and beg for forgiveness. Hee Tian shouted at Yan Wuping in particular, "Uncle Yan save me, Uncle Yan, Uncle Yan!"

When Yan Wuping saw this, his expression became a bit ugly. He immediately cupped his hands towards Gu Canghai and said, "Senior Gu, is this a little inappropriate? Why don't you give them to this junior. This junior will decide …"

Before Yan Wuping could finish his words, Gu Canghai raised his hand to stop him, saying, "I have already made up my mind. You don't need to say anything."

At this time, he looked towards Shi Ling. Shi Ling cupped his fist and said: "Thank you elder for upholding justice for this disciple."

Gu Canghai waved and said, "Come with me."

Shi Ling was stunned, but he still nodded his head in agreement. Following which, he left with Gu Canghai in front of everyone.

Yan Wuping's expression gradually turned cold. Then he heard Hee Tian and the others scream in pain.

At this moment, the handsome young man who had been sitting quietly on the spot all this time looked at Yan Wuping and slightly raised his head towards him. Yan Wuping nodded and followed behind Gu Canghai and the others.

"..."

Shi Ling followed behind Gu Canghai and entered a tent together. Soon, Shi Ling saw a huge head on Gu Canghai's seat, causing Shi Ling to gasp, because that head was the head of the Ghost Eye Demon Ape that attacked them earlier. However, at that moment, there was only one head left.

Gu Canghai was sitting on the seat and looking at Shi Ling with a smile. His eyes were filled with kindness as he waved at Shi Ling and said, "Sit."

Shi Ling nodded his head in agreement and then sat on a stool at the side. At this time, Gu Canghai said, "Don't you feel that it's very strange? Why did I speak up for you just now? "

Shi Ling nodded and said, "Disciple and elder have never come into contact, but elder speaks up for disciple. Disciple is extremely grateful."

Gu Canghai laughed and said, "Do you know the relationship between Hee Tian and Yan Wuping?"

Shi Ling didn't know why the other party suddenly said this, but he still said, "Disciple only knows that they seem to be on the other side. As for the relationship between them, I'm not sure."

Gu Canghai said: "They are all people that belong to Changyuan City!"

Shi Ling's pupils shrank as he exclaimed: "Changyuan City, Zhang Family! one of the Four Great Clans will receive the Zhang Family! "

Wu Tie nodded his head and said: "Over the years, the Four Great Clans will inject a large number of new disciples into my Spirit Sword Sect in exchange for fresh blood, and as a result, their position within the Spirit Sword Sect will increase day by day, and it could even be said that they are looking down on everyone else. Amongst them, Yan Wuping is a servant of the Zhang Family, and although he is one of my subordinates, he has always been unkind to me.

As he said that, he thought about Yan Wuping's previous expression that was as black as the bottom of a pot. He felt very satisfied.

When Shi Ling heard this, he finally understood. It was because the other party didn't want Yan Wuping to be better that they helped him.

However, at this time, Yan Wuping led a group of servants in charge and walked in. He said to Gu Canghai, "Senior Gu, the orchid fragrance has been counted. There are a total of 756 plants."

When Gu Canghai heard this, his originally smiling expression disappeared. He said, "Alright, I understand." Then he sighed and said to himself, "I still can't reach the goal set by the sect. I don't know what I'll do when I go back tomorrow."

At this time, Yan Wuping glanced at Shi Ling, who was sitting at the side, then said to Gu Canghai, "Senior Gu, how about this, I'll take someone with me this afternoon to go out and see if I can find a few dozen more."

When Yan Wuping said this, one of the managers beside him shook his head and said, "It's useless. In an afternoon, even if all the members go together, they wouldn't be able to find many. Besides, with the current situation, it's no longer suitable to start a large-scale search."

Yan Wuping replied, "So we can only sit here and stare at him? The sect has given us a mission. If we do not complete it, I will not have the face to return! "

However, Gu Canghai then said, "Forget it, I am responsible for failing to complete the mission this time. If I had looked around well when I came here, perhaps I wouldn't have let the Ghost Eye Demon Ape attack the disciples inside the door, and we wouldn't have lost so much, perhaps the mission could also be completed."

Everyone present became silent when they heard this. However, at this time, Shi Ling suddenly asked Gu Canghai, "Elder, may I ask, how much of the Youlan Fragrance do we still need for this mission?"

At this moment, Yan Wuping glared at them and yelled, "What are you, a nobody, interrupting me!"

Shi Ling glared back at him in annoyance, but Gu Canghai said, "Yan Wuping, you can leave."

At this time, Gu Canghai looked towards Shi Ling. Although he didn't want to bring up this matter, Liu Tie had already asked and it wasn't right for Yan Wuping to not tell him. Gu Canghai said, "About 150 yuan away, right?"

Shi Ling said, "Oh, then may I ask if this orchid fragrance is enough?"

As he said that, Shi Ling opened his bag and revealed a purple glow. Seeing this, Gu Canghai's pupils constricted and he immediately stood up. He stared blankly at the orchid fragrance in Shi Ling's hand.

It was not only Gu Canghai, all the stewards and Yan Wuping's eyes were wide open as they looked at Shi Ling's bag.
