"… That thief suddenly plotted against Brother Xiangzi. The two of us truly couldn't endure this. We didn't expect that the thief to be so skilled and powerful that we were defeated and mercilessly beat him. We thought this would be the end of it, but who would have thought he would …"

As Ma Pei spoke, he recalled the scene of Yu Lianzhou forcing him to learn how to bark like a dog. His heart was filled with shame and resentment.

"What's wrong with him? Tell me." Elder Xu saw that Ma Pei did not speak for a long time, so he immediately asked.

Ma Pei was startled awake by Elder Xu's words and immediately began to wail. He sobbed, "He … he forced us to lie on the ground and learn to bark like dogs."

As Ma Pei said this, he immediately kneeled in front of Elder Xu and hugged his leg. He loudly cried: "Elder, please uphold justice for us. That thief has gone too far."

The crying was really sad. The other two who were kneeling on the ground also began to cry: "Elder please help us!"

Not mentioning the three people crying on the ground, when the people from the Dirty Robed Sect heard Ma Peiyan say that a disciple from the Dirty Robed Sect had beaten them up, they were extremely happy. They did not care why that disciple had come looking for trouble with them, nor did they want to insult them.

When Ma Peiyan told the three of them to lie on the ground and go to school, some of the disciples standing behind Elder Jiang chuckled softly, but he knew where this place was and what kind of person was here, so he immediately covered his mouth that was about to laugh.

Elder Jiang, who was sitting in front of them, was also very happy. He secretly applauded the disciple from the dirty old man. If he wasn't experienced enough to know what was important in the main hall, he would have applauded the disciple from the dirty old man.

After listening to Ma Pei's story, Xu Nan Lin thought about it and guessed who had injured the three of them.

"Do you two have anything to add?" Xu Nan Lin asked the remaining two disciples.

"No more."

"Brother Ma Pei has said everything he needed to say."

When the remaining two disciples heard Elder Xu's words, they carefully thought about what Ma Pei had just said and then shook their heads.

"All of you spoke for so long, but you still didn't say who the person who injured you was?" Xu Nan Lin asked in confusion.

"This …"

The three of them looked at each other, not knowing how to reply. They were too focused on finding trouble with Yu Lianzhou and didn't even ask for his name.

"Elder, this disciple only knows that he is a disciple of the sect. As for the other … disciple isn't too sure." The disciple called Xiangzi weakly replied.

"Bastard, to think that you are even the outstanding disciples of the Beggar Gang. You don't even know where the people who injured you came from. Truly a piece of trash." Elder Xu slapped the armrest of his chair and immediately broke the armrest. He angrily stood up and shouted at the three people, the word "outstanding" was especially heavy.

The three people kneeling on the ground were intimidated by Elder Xu's imposing manner. They hurriedly kowtowed in fear and said: "Disciple is useless … disciple is useless …"

Elder Zheng, who was sitting not too far away from them, opened his eyes and looked at Han Hanxin, who was immediately frightened by Elder Zheng's gaze. He hastily stood up, took a few steps forward, and kicked the three people who were kneeling and begging for forgiveness.

Then, he bowed towards Elder Xu and said: "Elder, please calm your anger. These three people were disappointing and did not know the name of that disciple from the Filthy Robed Sect …"

Han Haixin was about to continue, but he was interrupted by Xu Nanlin, "Elder Han, how did you know that the person who injured them was a disciple of our gang?"

"This … is there a need to say it …" Elder Han laughed.

"How could you not say? Just based on that person insulting the Pure Clothing Sect and wearing such a shabby shirt, do you think that he is a disciple of the Filthy Robed Sect?" Xu Nan Lin questioned loudly.

"This …" Han Haitian Xin wasn't sure how to begin. He couldn't possibly tell him the details.

"Elder, a few days ago, we saw the person who injured us at the temple." Ma Pei who was kneeling on the ground hastily said.

"Oh? When? Who else has seen him? " Xu Nan Lin asked.

"When Elder Xu showed up at the broken temple that night …" Ma Pei's voice had unconsciously weakened.

"So it's that broken temple from that night. At that time, there were many disciples in the temple, which one of them were you talking about?" Elder Xu laughed.

"It's the disciple that has been standing by this kid's side all this time." The disciple called Xiangzi suddenly pointed at Wu Cheng Zhi, who was standing behind Elder Xu, and said.

Seeing him point at him, Wu Cheng Zhi suddenly thought of something and was about to speak when Elder Xu waved his hand, telling him not to say anything more. Then Elder Xu suddenly realized: "So it was him. You saying it like this makes this old man remember who it was."

"Yes, yes, yes. He is the elder." Seeing Elder Xu remember who it was, the three people kneeling on the ground happily said.

"However …" Elder Xu suddenly changed the topic and said: "But that disciple stayed with this old man in the temple the whole time that night, and only left the next day. This old man remembers that you two left the temple very early that night, right, Elder Zheng?"

Xu Nan Lin turned his head and asked Elder Zheng who was sitting beside him with his eyes closed.

"That's right. I brought them and left that night." Elder Zheng opened his eyes and slowly replied.

"Then, this old man has a question to ask Elder Zheng?"

"Elder Xu, please speak."

"I wonder if Elder Zheng has been with the three of them ever since he left the temple that night?" When Elder Zheng heard this, he already knew what Elder Xu was going to say. He waved his sleeves and said: "The three of them left at dawn the next day. They weren't with this old man."

Hearing this, Elder Xu said to the three kneeling on the ground: "I wonder why you three left Elder Zheng and the others that day?"

"This …"

The three people kneeling on the ground were at a loss for words, not knowing how to reply. They looked at each other, unable to say that they had to "take care" of that disciple after hearing Elder Zheng's instructions.

If he said the truth, then the blame for harming his own faction wouldn't escape him. Even if Elder Xu could forgive him, then Elder Zheng probably wouldn't let him go.

He said to Elder Xu: "Reporting to the elders, the three disciples wanted to go to the nearby city to take a walk. As for Elder Zheng and the others who had left, they didn't expect that they would be blocked by that disciple on his way back to the division."

"Right, right. Ma Pei is right …"

The remaining two people quickly agreed and felt relieved. Elder Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up and he nodded to Ma Pei who was kneeling on the ground.

Elder Xu saw that Ma Pei had suddenly said something and thought: "This disciple called Ma Pei has a good reaction. It's a pity that it's useless on the right path."
