Chapter 5398 The whole story
“There are not many people who know that the Divine Sense Grass is produced in the Ancient Trial Land, and as for the people who know exactly that you got the Divine Sense Grass, there are even fewer people. If you are really behind the scenes, these are the only people who are really worthy of suspicion." Lin Yi nodded.
“It’s impossible. My master had been in seclusion long before I participated in the secular world experience. He has not yet come out of seclusion. He has no idea that I have obtained the divine consciousness grass. What’s more, he has always She treats me like her own daughter and will never target me on such a matter." Duan Muyu shook his head decisively.
"That's easy to say. If I remember correctly, there are only three people from your Ye Ling sect participating in the secular world experience this time, including you, right?" Lin Yi asked.
"Well, besides me, there are only two junior brothers, Qiu Mingchong and Xu Fei." Duanmuyu nodded. The Ye Ling sect was already thin in number, and there were many barriers to participating in the ancient trial. This time, only one of them was sent. The three of them were the fewest among all the participating ten small sect families.
"How strong are these two people?" Lin Yi continued to ask.
"Qiu Mingchong is at the peak of the late stage of foundation building, and his strength is quite good. As for Xu Fei, although he has good talent, his time to get started is still short, and he is only in the early stage of foundation building." Duan Muyu already understood Lin Lin somewhat when he said this. Yi realized what he meant, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "What do you mean..."
"When I gave you half of the Divine Sense Grass, At that time, although we were the only ones present, after all, there are so many people talking, so it is not surprising that the news leaked out unintentionally. Among your sect, the only two junior brothers who are most likely to know about this situation are you. Of course We don’t rule out the possibility that they will reveal it to others after they return, but the biggest suspects are definitely the two of them," Lin Yi analyzed.
"So you think the two biggest suspects are Qiu Mingchong?" Duanmuyu thought thoughtfully.
"Yes, there is no love for no reason in the world, and there is no hate for no reason. If someone is really deliberately planning to mess with you behind your back, then there must be some conspiracy. In this way, he should be able to see the grass for the time being. If you can't get it, then it will inevitably involve other interests." Lin Yi said that there was no need to say any more.
"Xu Fei's strength is too low, and he has no grievances against me, and there is no conflict of interest. The suspicion can basically be ruled out. As for Qiu Mingchong..." Duan Muyu frowned and said slowly: "This person is in the Ye Ling Sect. His qualifications are actually much more senior than mine. , he was the second senior brother when I first started, but his strength has not broken through over the years, so he was caught up by me. Although he always behaves very kindly on the surface, I am afraid he still has some thoughts in private. "
"In this way, the suspicion of Qiu Mingchong is indeed gone. He instigated you to hand over the Divine Knowledge Grass behind his back. If you compromise and hand it over, then even if there is no substantial benefit to him, he will at least cause you to suffer. not once It's a small blow to prevent you from widening the gap. And if he refuses to hand it over like now, his benefits will be even greater. As long as things get bigger, he can plan carefully and use this to seize the position of senior brother. It's impossible." Lin Yi nodded.
Just like now, Duanmuyu has been imprisoned. For a role model of a sect disciple, this is already a very serious punishment, especially this may be just the beginning.
"Maybe..." Duanmuyu sighed. Even though he was sitting in the position of the senior sister of the Ye Ling Sect, he always knew that sooner or later he would become a very important part of the senior sect. If everything If everything goes well, she might be the successor to the head of the family in the future, at least that's how she was groomed by the top management, but she doesn't have much desire for power. Even the masculinity she usually displays is more chivalrous and chivalrous. She has never I thought about becoming a scheming leader of a faction.
It’s a pity that she doesn’t just have to think about this kind of thing. If she doesn’t think about what others will think, for example, Qiu Mingchong, who was overpowered by her, if he is a guy who deliberately wants to get the upper hand, then he will definitely treat her As a thorn in the flesh, it is almost natural to take advantage of this situation and take advantage of it. There is nothing difficult to understand.
"Then what are you going to do now?" Lin Yi sat down leisurely and poured himself a cup of tea. Although this is a closed place, except that the environment is relatively claustrophobic, the rest is not bad. It is placed in an outside inn. It's considered an upper room among them.
"I don't know either." Duanmuyu shook his head. Even if her original temperament was not decisive, she was definitely clean and tidy in her behavior. She rarely hesitated, but now This situation really made her a little embarrassed.
Even if it is really certain that Qiu Mingchong is behind the scenes, so what?
Not to mention that I am currently in confinement and cannot get out at all. Even if I really have a chance to get out, it will be of no use. Should I confront Qiu Mingchong face to face? They were using conspiracy, but now it was the entire Ye Ling Sect’s top brass who wanted the Divine Knowledge Grass, so what was the use of confrontation?
To put it bluntly, there are only two options left for Duanmuyu at this moment, either hand over the Divine Sense Grass, or keep the Divine Sense Grass, that's all.
There are pros and cons to handing over, and there are pros and cons to staying. It depends on how she weighs it. Of course, Duanmuyu's personality tends to be straightforward, so her decision may not necessarily mean that she has truly weighed it all. Depends on personal preference.
After a moment of silence, Duanmuyu raised his head with some embarrassment and apology: "You came to see me out of kindness, but I dragged you in without thinking, otherwise..."
It's easy to guess what's coming next Really, if she was alone, she could continue to hold on and not let go. At worst, she would treat it as a retreat. But now that Lin Yi was involved, it would be unjustifiable if Lin Yi was also imprisoned here because of her own fault. .
"Otherwise, if you change your original intention and hand over the Divine Sense Grass for me, I won't agree." Lin Yi interrupted.
There was a large pile of divine consciousness grass roots in the jade pendant space. He didn’t care about Duanmuyu’s half of the divine consciousness grass at all. Depending on their relationship, Duanmuyu handed over her half of the divine consciousness grass. Then it wouldn't be a bad idea for Lin Yi to supply him with a large piece of spiritual grass root. After all, it was agreed at the beginning that it would be divided in half, but Duan Muyu insisted not to take it.
However, it is one thing to not care about half of the divine consciousness grass, but it is another thing to ask Duan Muyu to hand over half of the divine consciousness grass for him. Lin Yi has no habit of asking his friends to compromise for him. (End of this chapter)
