"There are not many people who know that the Divine Knowledge Grass is produced in the Primordial Trial Land, and there are even fewer people who know that you have obtained the Divine Knowledge Grass. If there is really someone behind this, the only people who are really suspicious are these few people." Lin Yi nodded.
"That's impossible. My Master had been in retreat long before I participated in the secular world experience and has not come out until now. He doesn't know that I have obtained the Divine Knowledge Grass at all. What's more, he has always treated me like his own daughter. He would never target me in this kind of thing." 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.
"En, apart from me, there are only two Junior Brothers, Qiu Mingchong and Xu Fei." Duan Muyu nodded. Ye Ling Sect had a small population and there were many thresholds for participating in the Primordial Trial. This time, they only sent three people, which was the least among all the ten small sects and families participating.
"How strong are these two people?" Lin Yi continued to ask.
"Qiu Mingchong is at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and his strength is quite good. As for Xu Fei, although his talent is good, he has only joined the sect for a short time and is currently only at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage." At this point, Duan Muyu had somewhat understood what Lin Yi meant, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "You mean …"
"When I gave you the half of the Divine Knowledge Grass, although there were only a few of us present, after all, there were too many people. It is not surprising that some people inadvertently leaked the news. In your sect, the most likely people to know about this situation are your two Junior Brothers. Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that they will leak it to others after they return, but the biggest suspects are definitely the two of them." Lin Yi analyzed.
"So you think the biggest suspects are Qiu Mingchong and Xu Fei?" Duan Muyu pondered.
"Yes, there is no love without reason in this world, and naturally, there is no hatred without reason. If someone is really scheming against you behind your back, then they must be plotting something. Through this method, they shouldn't be able to obtain the Spiritual Knowledge Grass for the time being, so it must involve other interests. "Lin Yi didn't need to say anything else.
"Xu Fei's strength is too low, and he has no enmity with me, nor does he have any conflict of interest with me. He can basically be ruled out as a suspect. As for Qiu Mingchong … "Duan Muyu frowned and said slowly," He's actually much more experienced in Ye Ling Sect than I am. When I first joined the sect, he was already the second senior brother. It's just that he hasn't had a breakthrough all these years, so I've caught up to him. But in private, I'm afraid he still has some thoughts. "
"In that case, this Qiu Mingchong is indeed suspicious. He instigated you to hand over the Spiritual Knowledge Grass. If you compromised and handed it over, then even if there was no substantial benefit to him, at least you would suffer a big blow, lest the gap between you widen. If he refused to hand it over as he was doing now, he would gain even more benefits. As long as the matter was blown up, he could plan well. It's not impossible to take over Eldest Senior Brother's position. "Lin Yi nodded.
Just like now, Duan Muyu was put in confinement. For a leading figure in the sect, this was already a very serious punishment, especially since this might just be the beginning.
"Maybe …" Duan Muyu sighed. Although she sat in the position of Ye Ling Sect's Eldest Senior Sister, she always knew that sooner or later she would become a very important member of the sect's senior management. If everything went well, she might become the successor of the sect leader in the future. At least on the surface, this was how the senior management cultivated her. However, she did not have much desire for power. Even the masculinity she usually showed was inclined towards the chivalrous style of wielding a sword and singing. She never thought of becoming a scheming sect leader.
Unfortunately, this kind of thing was not something that she could ignore. If she did not think about it, others would think about it. For example, if Qiu Mingchong, who was suppressed by her, was a guy who deliberately wanted to rise to the top, then he would definitely regard her as a thorn in his side. In this situation, it was almost natural for him to take advantage of this opportunity. There was nothing difficult to understand.
"Then what are you going to do now?" Lin Yi sat down calmly and poured himself a cup of tea. Although this was a confinement place, except for the relatively claustrophobic environment, everything else was not bad. It could be considered a good room in an inn outside.
"I don't know." Duanmu Yu shook her head. Based on her original character, even if she couldn't be considered to be decisive in killing, she would definitely do things in a clean and efficient manner. She rarely hesitated, but the current situation really put her in a difficult position.
Even if it could be confirmed that Qiu Mingchong was behind this, what could she do?
Not to mention that she was now in confinement and could not get out at all, even if she really had a chance to get out, it would be useless. Could she confront Qiu Mingchong face to face? The other party used an overt scheme. Now that the people who wanted the Divine Knowledge Grass were the entire Ye Ling Sect's senior management, what was the use of confronting them?
To put it bluntly, at this moment, there were only two options left for Duan Muyu. Either hand over the Divine Knowledge Grass or keep the Divine Knowledge Grass, that was all.
There were pros and cons to handing it over, and there were pros and cons to keeping it. It all depended on how she weighed the pros and cons. Of course, Duan Muyu's personality tended to be straightforward. She might not have really weighed the pros and cons before making a decision. It might just be based on her personal preferences.
After a moment of silence, Duan Muyu raised her head in a somewhat embarrassed and apologetic manner, "You came to see me with good intentions, but I didn't expect you to be dragged into this, or …"
It was easy to guess what she was going to say next. If she was alone, she could continue to hold on and not give in. At worst, she could just treat it as a retreat, but now it involved Lin Yi. If Lin Yi was also locked up here because of her, it would not be right.
"Don't, if you change your original intention and hand over the Divine Knowledge Grass for me, I won't agree." Lin Yi interrupted.
There was a large pile of Divine Knowledge Grass Roots in the space of the jade pendant. He did not care about Duan Muyu's half of the Divine Knowledge Grass at all. According to their relationship, Duan Muyu handed over her half of the Divine Knowledge Grass, and then Lin Yi would compensate her with a large piece of the Divine Knowledge Grass Root. After all, they had agreed to split it in half at the beginning, but Duan Muyu insisted.
