At this time, Xi Baichuan was playing chess with his chief disciple, Ning Xu, in the yard.
Wei Xian's arrival was within Xi Baichuan's expectation, so he wasn't surprised at all. Instead, he and Ning Xu were playing chess here on purpose to wait for Wei Xian's arrival.
Although Xi Baichuan knew that Wei Xian was up to no good, he had no intention to escape. If he escaped, it meant that he was guilty. He wasn't guilty at all.
No matter how much they disliked each other, they were always polite to each other on the surface.
"Oh! It was Junior Martial Brother Wei! What a rare guest! What brings you here today? "Xi Baichuan greeted him with a smile, but his smile wasn't sincere.
When Wei Xian saw Ning Xu, a strong sense of jealousy rose in his heart.
Among the four heads' disciples, Ning Xu's level was the highest. Not long ago, he broke through the Yuan Ying Stage and became the ninth master in the cultivation world to reach the Yuan Ying Stage.
The four heads were all in the Yuan Ying Stage. They were either in the early stage or the middle stage. None of them was at the peak stage.
The remaining three masters in the Yuan Ying Stage were the head and the other three elders.
He was in the early stage of the Yuan Ying Stage, while Xi Baichuan was in the middle stage. Therefore, he was jealous of Xi Baichuan. Now that Xi Baichuan's chief disciple was at the same level as him, he was even more displeased.
"Hi, Senior Wei!"
Ning Xu stood up and greeted Wei Xian the moment he saw him.
Although they were at the same level now, Wei Xian was older than him in terms of seniority, so he couldn't be rude.
"Hi," Wei Xian said. Then he replied to Xi Baichuan, "Well, I got a piece of news about Jing Jining, so I came to tell you about it."
Wei Xian said that with obvious sarcasm. Besides, he was doing charity for Xi Baichuan.
Xi Baichuan wouldn't give him the chance to continue mocking him. Therefore, before Wei Xian could continue, he said, "Do you mean there's a master cultivator by Jing Jining's side?"
Hearing that, Wei Xian's face changed a little. Obviously, Xi Baichuan was aware of it.
Xi Baichuan didn't give Wei Xian a chance to say anything. He continued, "I suspected that Jing Jining had something to do with Yin Shixun's death, but because Jing Jining wasn't Yin Shixun's match at all, I stopped suspecting him. But this time, a Golden Core Stage expert and an expert whose cultivation level could not be determined suddenly appeared beside him, so his suspicions were deepened. I've already told Dong Liang to call Jing Jining over for questioning. If you want to know more about it, you can wait for a while and listen to Jing Jining's explanation. However, I'm not sure whether I can bring Jing Jining here. After all, Jing Jining has a master by his side. Dong Liang is no match for him. If you can't invite him, I'll have to do it myself. "
Hearing Xi Baichuan's words, Wei Xian's expression turned even uglier. He was extremely displeased.
Originally, he had come to laugh at Xi Baichuan, but in the end, he was the one who lost face.
However, he also wanted to know who the master was, so he endured his displeasure and agreed. "Sure! I also want to know Jing Jining's opinion. "
When Ma Dongliang arrived, Jing Jining and the others were still eating, so Ma Dongliang didn't bother them and waited for them to finish the meal.
About 20 minutes later, they finished the meal and came out. Ma Dongliang then told Jing Jining that Xi Baichuan wanted to see him for something.
As for what it was about, Jing Jining and the others already guessed it.
However, Jing Jining didn't refuse at all and agreed to go to Tiandaozong with alacrity. Nevertheless, he arranged accommodation for Gu Ning and the others first.
Jing Jining's alacrity made Ma Dongliang less suspicious of him, but it still needed to be investigated whether Jing Jining had something to do with it.
Before long, Jing Jining followed Ma Dongliang to Tiandaozong and arrived at Xi Baichuan's residence.
Because it wasn't an interrogation, there was no need for them to go to the Law Enforcement Hall.
"Hi, Leader Xi, Leader Wei."
Seeing Xi Baichuan and Wei Xian, Jing Jining greeted them with respect.
"Jing Jining, I won't beat around the bush and I'll get straight to the point. You said you didn't have the ability to kill Yin Shixun and you didn't know any master to cooperate with you, but now there are two masters by your side. How do you explain that? "asked Xi Baichuan in a serious tone. It was obvious that he was putting pressure on Jing Jining.
Although Jing Jining was affected by Xi Baichuan's power, he still stayed calm and didn't feel guilty at all.
He did feel a little guilty before, but now Shangguan Yang was in the cultivation world, so he wasn't afraid at all.
"Master Xi, it's understandable that you have such doubts, but if I tell you the master's identity, you'll still think that he would join hands with me to kill Yin Shixun," said Jing Jining calmly.
"Oh? Who is the master? "
Hearing that, Xi Baichuan asked with curiosity.
Not only was Xi Baichuan curious, but Wei Xian and Ning Xu were also curious, because Jing Jining said that they obviously knew the master too.
"He's an elder of the Kunlun School, Shangguan Yang," said Jing Jining. Because they showed up in public, there was nothing to hide.
"What?"
Hearing that, Xi Baichuan and Wei Xian stood up in shock. They couldn't stay calm and couldn't believe it.
They had heard of Shangguan Yang, but they had never seen him in person. They thought that he was long gone, so they were surprised and doubtful when he showed up all of a sudden.
"Do you mean that the master is an elder of the Kunlun School, Shangguan Yang?" asked Xi Baichuan with uncertainty. He also had doubts.
"Yes, the two people following him are his disciples," said Jing Jining.
"How did you meet Shangguan Yang and meet him? And are you sure that he's really Shangguan Yang? "asked Wei Xian.
"Senior Shangguan has always been cultivating in the Kunlun School. I went to Kunlun Mountain once by chance and met Senior Shangguan. I didn't know that he was still alive until then, and he's at a very high level. I'm afraid that no one in the cultivation world can be his match," said Jing Jining. There was a sense of respect for Shangguan Yang in his eyes. As for whether he was sure that the master was really Shanghai Yang, Jing Jining said, "I've never seen Senior Shangguan before, but even if he isn't, Tiandaozong should treat him with respect because of his level."
Hearing that, the others sighed with emotion. If that was the case, he must be either in the Out-of-Body Stage or in the Soul-branching Stage.
Thinking of that, they took a long breath in again, but they still believed that he wasn't in the Soul-branching Stage. He should be in the middle stage or the peak of the Out-of-Body Stage.
