"Maybe I will just be punished this time and won't be expelled from the sect, but what will happen next time, and the next time when the mistakes accumulate?"
Ever since Yu Ze was called to the Elders' Council, he had vaguely realized that he might be being targeted by someone.
After this time, there may be a next time, or even the next time.
"Have you offended anyone in the sect?" Ye Xian'er asked softly.
Yu Ze smiled and shook his head: "Impossible."
"This is only my first day in the sect, I don't think I have offended anyone."
"If that's the case, why would someone target you?" Ye Xian'er couldn't help but whisper to herself, with confusion and bewilderment on her delicate face like white porcelain.
Yu Ze thought about it and said with a smile: "Maybe he wasn't targeting me, but because he saw Miss Xian'er and I going out for a tryst at night?"
It's already this late and he's still in the mood to joke... Ye Xian'er couldn't help but glance at Yu Ze indifferently and was about to say something.
But at this moment, she suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Could it be him... ?
Ye Xian'er thought subconsciously.
Then, her eyes flickered slightly, and the more she thought about this possibility, the colder her beautiful eyes became.
"Miss Xian'er, what's wrong with you?"
At this time, Yu Ze's voice brought Ye Xian'er back to reality.
She shook her head slightly and forced a smile, "It's okay, I just suddenly thought of something."
Seeing Yu Ze's concerned expression, Ye Xian'er felt a little guilty and her slender fingers subconsciously clutched her dress.
Judging from Ye Chen's motives and what he said before leaving today, it seems that he might really be the one who was secretly informing on others.
After all, the Ye family still has some power in the Extreme Region.
It is not difficult to contact an elder secretly and inform on him.
"Feel sorry……"
Although it was not Ye Xian'er who ordered it, Yu Ze was ultimately dragged into this because of her, which made the girl feel a little apologetic.
"No matter what, this incident was caused by me... I will make it up to you later."
The girl said softly: "I will take care of this matter."
Yu Ze's eyes fell on Ye Xian'er's delicate face, and he immediately smiled and said, "It's not certain whether we have violated the sect's rules this time. Perhaps, we don't need to think about how to solve it."
Trespassing into the Ascension Platform was indeed against the sect's rules.
But what if there is a reason?
Chapter 73 Don’t you want to try it, Master?
Presbyterian Church.
When Yu Ze followed Yun Shu into the hall, he saw a group of elders sitting at a long table. At the end of the long table, Ji Wanshan, who was dressed elegantly, was sitting in the main seat.
Yu Ze had some impression of these elders. After all, he had just met them at the sect selection ceremony yesterday.
I just didn't expect to see you again so soon.
In a corner not far away, Yu Ze saw another person.
She was wearing a snow-white, gorgeous palace skirt embroidered with intricate patterns. Her full chest proudly held up her skirt, and her hanging wisps of hair added a touch of lazy worldliness.
Cool and elegant.
As expected of a great immortal body, she is so similar to Fairy Yaoyue...
Looking at Ji Ningshuang silently, Yu Ze sighed softly in his heart.
"I have met several elders, the chief."
Yu Ze quickly raised his hand and bowed, then spoke respectfully.
Ye Xian'er also raised her hand and bowed, but her little face remained very calm, as if she had not experienced any major emotional fluctuations because of what happened today.
At this time, one of the elders suddenly said with a smile: "Friend Yu, did you go somewhere last night?"
I have never seen this person before. Didn’t he come to participate in the sect’s disciple selection ceremony yesterday... Yu Ze glanced at the elder who spoke calmly.
"This is the elder of the Central Peak of Qingxia Peak, Zheng Ping."
As if she had seen through Yu Ze's doubts, Ji Wanshan spoke softly, "It was my fault yesterday. You were tired yesterday, so I didn't explain the sect's rules to you first. I also forgot to tell you that you can't step on the Ascension Platform at night, otherwise you will attract bad luck."
Several elders and chiefs present had strange expressions on their faces.
Ji Wanshan's words clearly favored Yu Ze and she took all the responsibility on herself.
As a master, I did not tell her the sect rules. So even though he was wrong to go to the Ascension Platform without permission last night, this is also my problem as a master... This elder looks weak and delicate, but her methods are quite amazing. These words almost clearly favor Yu Ze.
Zheng Ping couldn't help but frown secretly, and naturally heard the hidden meaning in Ji Wanshan's words.
However, no matter what, he could not blame Ji Wanshan.
But the elders dare not do it, but the sect leader can.
By doing this, Ji Wanshan gave Ji Ningshuang the opportunity to criticize her.
The relationship between the Great Elder and the Sect Master is as hostile as fire and water, and all the higher-ups in the sect are aware of this.
However, what the elders present never expected was that after Ji Wanshan finished speaking, Ji Ningshuang never made any trouble, but just sat quietly to one side, as if she was completely uninterested in what was happening here.
That's true. Sect Master Ji has a cold and arrogant personality. She won't pay any attention to disciples violating sect rules unless the circumstances are extremely serious.
It seems that in the eyes of Sect Master Ji, the matter between Yu Ze and Ye Xian'er... is not that serious.
Yu Ze also understood what Ji Wanshan meant, and was somewhat touched. He said respectfully, "I just arrived yesterday. After meditating and practicing at night, I wanted to go out and relax. But I didn't expect to vaguely sense a familiar aura near the Ascension Platform, so I went to take a look out of curiosity..."
Ye Xian'er, who had been standing quietly by the side, looked at Yu Ze with some surprise. She didn't expect that he would not reveal his secrets.
It was obvious that if Yu Ze just said that he saw her on the Ascension Platform last night and was attracted there, the elders would not make things difficult for him anymore.
Yu Ze said respectfully: "Disciple did not know at first that the Ascension Platform was not allowed at night, it was definitely not intentional..."
Zheng Ping looked up, his sharp eyes seemed to see through Yu Ze's heart, and said, "You said you sensed a certain aura on the Ascension Platform? I have been on the Ascension Platform for so long, but I have never sensed the so-called aura. How did you sense it?"
Yu Ze said calmly, "I don't know exactly... but after I finished my meditation last night, I seemed to hear someone calling me..."
"What nonsense!"
Zheng Ping's tone was a little stern: "You have only joined the sect for one day, how could you possibly have any reaction to the Ascension Platform."
"Besides, there is something ominous in the Ascension Platform... How did you get connected to that ominous thing?"
These words touched upon some kind of fear in the hearts of the Guiyi Sect's top leaders, and even Ji Wanshan's eyes changed slightly.
The ominousness on the Ascension Platform is so mysterious that Ji Wanshan’s grandfather, the first great elder, once said that no one is allowed to set foot on the Ascension Platform at night.
Because once the body is invaded by that evil, it will visit you every day until your spirit is devastated and collapses.
Ye Xian'er couldn't help but frown as she listened to Elder Zheng's questioning, and was about to speak.
However, at this moment, he heard the young man beside him sighing and saying helplessly: "Actually, this matter involves Fairy Yaoyue... so please forgive me for not revealing too much."
This sentence can be roughly translated as: Those who understand will understand.
The elders were all stunned for a moment, and everyone's expression changed slightly.
If someone else said this, they might not believe it.
But Yu Ze is different.
The 'future body' he reflected yesterday was Fairy Yaoyue, who was suspected to have some connection with the first generation sect master.
What he said was indeed very credible.
“If there are elders who don’t believe me, they can use the Qi-gazing technique to see whether what I said is a lie or not.” Yu Ze said again, looking very calm and composed.
Although some of the elders present had their doubts, seeing Yu Ze so confident, they had already believed it to some extent.
At this time, Zheng Ping took out a talisman and burned it up. His eyes seemed to be able to see through lies and stared at Yu Ze:
"You went to the Ascension Platform last night. Was it really because of Fairy Yaoyue?"
Yu Ze nodded with certainty: "Yes."
"I can guarantee that I have no ill intentions towards Guiyi Sect. I just happened to step onto the Immortal Ascension Platform last night just for Fairy Yaoyue."
Zheng Ping stared at Yu Ze and remained silent for a long time.
"How?" Ji Wanshan asked casually.
Although she didn't use the art of looking at qi, she could tell from Zheng Ping's expression that Yu Ze was not lying.
For a moment, the elders present looked at Yu Ze with some inexplicable meaning in their eyes.
If Yu Ze's reflection of his future body last night only made them realize that this child had some kind of connection with Fairy Yaoyue, then what they learned today made them realize something more important.
——Yu Ze might really be the successor chosen by Fairy Yaoyue.
That's why he can feel the aura that ordinary people can't.
Zheng Ping was silent for a moment, then said quietly, "But no matter what, trespassing into the Ascension Platform is a violation of the sect's rules..."
Before he finished speaking, Ji Ningshuang's voice, as cold and crisp as jade knocking, was slowly heard in the elders' meeting: "This matter involves Fairy Yaoyue, and it is of great importance. Sect rules are important, but we should not be too rigid in everything, so as not to hurt the hearts of these disciples."
"I think if Master were still alive, he would think the same."
"What do the elders and chiefs think?"
I've finished speaking, who's in favor and who's against?
Ji Wanshan nodded slightly and said, "The story of Fairy Yaoyue's death on the Ascension Platform has always been shrouded in mystery. Now that someone has found clues about Fairy Yaoyue, it is indeed wrong to dampen the good intentions of the disciples. I agree with the Sect Master's opinion."
Ning Miaochan was wearing a loose robe and smiled slightly, "What the Great Elder said is right. After all, the reason why those sect disciples were not allowed to step onto the Immortal Ascension Platform at night was because they were worried that they would be contaminated by something ominous and suddenly die. Since nothing ominous happened to Yu Ze, and it involves Fairy Yaoyue, I think we don't need to worry about it."
Who wouldn't do a favor? Moreover, judging from Yu Ze's performance today, there really is some connection between him and Fairy Yaoyue.
This alone is enough to attract the attention of the senior executives present.
"I just arrived and I don't know the sect's rules. I'll learn them carefully and don't break them again."
Chi Yanxin, the head of Piaoshuang Peak, also smiled and nodded.
Yu Ze discovered that several female elders who were quite plump and attractive nodded slightly and stood on his side.
After all, the Great Elder and the Sect Master, two people who usually don't get along with each other, have spoken, so naturally, it is impossible for others to say anything wrong.
Ye Xian'er's eyes flashed slightly and she glanced at Yu Ze inconspicuously.
I haven't heard Yu Ze mention this matter.
Did he sense some kind of aura on the Ascension Platform yesterday?
It seems that there is really some kind of connection between Fairy Yaoyue and him...
Ji Ningshuang's slender white jade fingers played with the teacup in her hand, her expression cold as she stared at Yu Ze and the others: "Considering that both of you are first-time offenders, and indeed you just joined the sect yesterday, let's let it go this time."
"You two should copy the sect rules five times and send them to the Law Enforcement Hall tomorrow."
Ji Wanshan raised her eyebrows inadvertently and looked at Ji Ningshuang with some surprise.
This woman's reaction is weird...
In the past, Ji Ningshuang would never personally punish such a trivial matter.
And this time when Ji Ningshuang spoke, it seemed more like she was afraid that she would be the first to punish the two of them.
The punishment of copying the sect rules five times can be said to be completely painless.
Even the sect leader had spoken personally, so even the radical elders present who wanted to punish severely could not say anything.
Yu Ze raised his hand and bowed: "Disciple obeys your command."
Ye Xian'er also raised her hand and bowed, looking very well-behaved.
Ji Ningshuang slowly raised her beautiful face, stared at Yu Ze with her beautiful eyes as bright as autumn water, and said coldly: "Yu Ze, come with me."
"The matter concerning Fairy Yaoyue involves too many secrets. I have something to ask you alone."
Ji Wanshan glanced at her lightly, her voice soft but without any emotion: "Sect Master, Yu Ze is my disciple anyway, why don't you let me take him back and teach him."
