As he spoke, Chu Hengding secretly looked at Xue Jianfeng in disdain. He thought to himself, "This spineless guy. He's a consummate Nascent Soul expert, kneeling down so easily. He's not even as good as me! At least I didn't kneel! "
Lin Yi turned to look at Chu Hengding and said with a faint smile, "Who's meddling in your Chu family's affairs? You're obviously meddling in my own affairs. Let's talk about my crab's inner core first! "
"Inner … inner core?" Chu Hengding really wanted to slap himself a few times. How could he have forgotten about this? He had always thought that the inner core was his. He had told so many lies that even he himself had believed them. Even though Chu Tianlu had already proven that the inner core wasn't his, he still hadn't changed his mind.
After all, he had two consummate Nascent Soul experts and one early stage Nascent Soul expert. Chu Hengding felt that everything was under his control. How could he still think that something that was in his hands wouldn't be his?
If he'd known this would happen, he would've used the elixir recipe to trade for it, and none of this would've happened!
Chu Hengding was depressed, but Lin Yi couldn't be bothered with him. The inner core was just an excuse. Who would really care about it?
He handed the sword to Bing Wuqing and said, "This sword isn't bad. There's' Ice Soul 'on it. You can have it!"
"Thank you, Boss Lin Yi!" Xue Jianfeng showed a rare smile. The Ice Soul Sword was one of the three famous swords of the Snow Sword School, and so was the Shattered Ice Sword. However, the Ice Soul Sword was more suitable for Bing Wuqing.
"By the way, Boss Lin Yi, this Shattered Ice Sword is very suitable for Coold's Shattered Ice Physique. Do you want me to bring it back to her, or do you want to give it to her next time?" With the Ice Soul Sword, the Ice Shattering Sword was naturally useless. Bing Wuqing was also very thoughtful, and immediately thought of Leng Leng's Ice Shattering Physique. After all, in Bing Wuqing's eyes, Leng Leng was not only Lin Yi's woman, but also a member of the Snow Sword Faction.
Lin Yi waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "If it suits Coold, I'll bring it to her. I don't know when I'll be able to go find her."
After that, Lin Yi said to Chu Hengding, "Hey, what do you say?"
Chu Hengding braced himself and said, "Yes, the inner core is yours, so you can interfere. But Bing Wuqing isn't the owner of the inner core, right? He shouldn't interfere in our Chu Clan's affairs, right? "
Bing Wuqing cast a glance at Yu Taicang and Xue Jianfeng, who were lying and kneeling on the ground, and said coldly, "I'm from the Snow Sword Faction!"
It meant that Yu Taicang and Xue Jianfeng were both from the Snow Sword School. Since they had interfered, as members of the Snow Sword School, they had to get involved to the end.
"I …" Chu Hengding didn't know what to say. He could tell that Bing Wuqing didn't talk much, but when she did, she wasn't easy to deal with either. The phrase "concise and shocking" was used to describe people like Bing Wuqing.
Chu Yuntian sighed softly. No matter what, today was his birthday, and this was the Chu Clan's territory. Chu Hengding's forced abdication was despicable, but Chu Hengding's predicament was equivalent to a slap in the face for the Chu Clan. Therefore, as the 'former Clan Leader', he had no choice but to step forward and clean up the mess.
"Everyone, today is my birthday. It's rare that so many distinguished guests are willing to do me the honor. Why don't you take a seat and continue with the banquet?" Chu Yuntian politely bowed to Lin Yi and Xue Jianfeng, then invited the people outside the hall.
As for the mess in the hall caused by the short battle earlier, Chu Yuntian completely ignored it.
The people outside the hall immediately said politely, "No, no, we've already eaten our fill. We'll take our leave now!"
Although they hadn't eaten much of the food, they had seen the grand internal strife within the clan, the drama of the abdication, and the chaotic battle between the Nascent Soul experts. No matter what, it was worth the price of the ticket.
The only question was, how did Yu Taicang end up so suddenly? It was obvious that Bing Wuqing was about to be defeated, but suddenly, there was a shocking reversal. Apart from Xue Jianfeng, no one else present could tell what was going on.
Now that the other party was obviously going to settle the clan's affairs, were they really not going to be sensible enough to go in and set up the overturned tables and chairs, and continue to pick up the bowls and continue eating?
"Please forgive me if I've neglected you!" Chu Yuntian forced a smile and greeted them one by one. It was only after he had sent off most of the people that his face darkened.
Apart from the Chu Clan, the only ones left behind were Lin Yi, Bing Wuqing, Xue Jianfeng, Yu Taicang, and Ye Qingcheng and Duanmu Yu from Ye Ling Sect.
Lin Yi smiled at Duanmu Yu and gave her a look, indicating for her to continue watching the show. Then, he turned to Chu Yuntian and said, "Alright, I'll hold a meeting for you now to discuss the issue of the Chu Clan's traitor."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Lin Yi suddenly felt that the scene was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Meanwhile, Duanmu Yu and Ye Qingcheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Wasn't this what Lin Yi had said in Ye Ling Sect last time? It was just that Ye Ling Sect had changed to Chu Clan!
Lin Yi felt that it was somewhat familiar. It was probably because Ye Qingcheng and Duanmu Yu were beside him …
"Traitor? Who are you calling a traitor?! " Before Chu Yuntian could speak, Chu Hengding immediately jumped up. If there was a traitor, it was naturally him, Chu Hengding. It couldn't be Chu Tianlu, could it?
Seeing how forceful Lin Yi was, if his identity as a traitor was confirmed, he didn't need to think to know what would happen. Thus, Chu Hengding had to fight for it. This was also why he had always thought that Yu Taicang had acted on his own. Regardless of whether he had been scared to death or suddenly had an illness, it wasn't Lin Yi who had done it. If Chu Hengding and Xue Jianfeng understood this, they probably wouldn't dare to jump out and refute it.
Lin Yi laughed coldly and mocked mercilessly, "Do you think that apart from you, who has only been the clan head for a few minutes, there's someone else worthy of the glorious title of traitor?"
"You're talking nonsense! I, Chu Hengding, am wholeheartedly working for the Chu Clan. I'm upright and have a clear conscience! "Chu Hengding was truly a skilled actor. His expression was quite on point.
Lin Yi pointed at Xue Jianfeng and said, "Since you've sided with Xue Jianfeng, you're naturally a traitor. Are you still going to deny it?"
Ye Qingcheng's expression was strange. He felt as if he had fallen into a memory.
"Xue Jianfeng, why don't you tell us? What's going on with this Chu Hengding?" Lin Yi couldn't be bothered to waste words with Chu Hengding. There was a ready-made Xue Jianfeng kneeling beside him. It would be a waste not to drag him out!
Xue Jianfeng's cheeks were streaming with tears. You finally remember that I'm kneeling here? Can't you let me stand up first?
