Liu Muqing was trembling with anger. After thinking about what Ning Qi had just said, his expression changed a few times. Then, he let out a sinister laugh. "In the Moon Elephant Sect, servant disciples stealing spirit herbs from the herb fields is a serious crime. The punishment of the Servant Peak has always been very severe because these servants are ants from other small worlds. In the eyes of primordial cultivators, their lives are even more worthless. They might already be dead by now."
After saying that, he saw that the three female servants were even more terrified. Liu Muqing sneered. "What are you afraid of?"
"N-nothing …"
The three of them hurriedly shook their heads like a rattle drum.
Servant Peak.
Ning Qi was dressed in the robe of an inner sect disciple. He was unobstructed all the way until he arrived at the main hall of the Servant Peak. After seeing the elder in charge of all the servants in the entire sect, the other party looked at Ning Qi in confusion.
"You are?"
The elder's cultivation level was similar to Xue Qingguang's. Apart from him, there were many attendants in the main hall. These attendants' cultivation levels were not high, and some were only fourth-step cultivators. However, to the servants, fourth-step cultivators were already existences that they could only look up to.
"Inner sect Wu Yin."
Ning Qi cupped his hands and smiled. "Previously, my three servants might have had a misunderstanding with someone. They were captured and brought to the Servant Peak while I was in seclusion. I hope that Elder can release them and let me bring them back."
"A misunderstanding?"
The Servant Peak elder had a strange look in his eyes. "What do you mean by misunderstanding? I can also check which servants have been captured during this time. "
"Someone said that they stole spirit herbs from other people's herb fields."
Ning Qi said.
"Oh!"
The Servant Peak elder's expression darkened as he shook his head at Ning Qi. "Our Servant Peak has a rule that servant disciples who have committed theft must bear the punishment they deserve. You should return."
"Let's not talk about whether they have committed a mistake or not. The servants were captured while I was in seclusion, which means that they are not giving me face. Even if they have committed a mistake, they should at least say it clearly in front of me. Then, according to the rules of the sect, they will be punished accordingly. Elder, is there anything wrong with what I said?"
Ning Qi said indifferently.
"All the servants are under the management of the Servant Peak. Since they have committed a crime, they will naturally be detained by the Servant Peak. It has nothing to do with you, right? Elder Fang, you don't need to pay attention to this kind of person. If everyone can come to the Servant Peak and take away those servants who have made mistakes, what's the point of our existence? "
A woman slowly walked over and looked at Ning Qi with some disgust.
"How should I address you, Elder?"
Ning Qi looked at the woman and cupped his hands together with a faint smile.
The woman sneered, "Just call me Elder Long. You're a new inner disciple, right? The three servants assigned to you are very beautiful? Why did you come here to fish him up? "
"I think Elder Long seems to have misunderstood something. Why don't the two of you call my servants over? I'll ask them face to face. If they really did make a mistake, I won't say anything about how Servant Peak will deal with them."
Ning Qi smiled faintly.
"Are you kidding me? If any random person came, we would …"
Elder Long had yet to finish her words when she suddenly sensed that the aura on Ning Qi's body had become restless and the occasional bit of aura that leaked out made her feel extremely pressured!
"Imperishable Realm?"
Elder Fang and Elder Long exchanged glances and finally revealed a trace of seriousness in their eyes. The other attendants in the hall immediately frowned when they saw this.
"So it's you!"
Elder Long's eyes suddenly flashed with surprise as she seemed to recognize Ning Qi.
"Elder Long knows me?"
Ning Qi smiled.
"During the entrance examination, you defeated Xue Qingguang with a single punch. Of course I remember you. However, I remember that you were only in the Sempiternal Realm at the time, but now …"
Elder Long's expression became a little strange.
Defeated Xue Qingguang with a single punch?
Elder Fang immediately came to a realization and a trace of a smile appeared in his eyes, "So Xue Qingguang was defeated by you."
"Elders, although my three servants don't have high cultivations, they wouldn't go so far as to steal someone else's medicine field. This happened while I was in closed-door cultivation, so someone might have maliciously framed me. I ask the two elders to let me see the three of them. If they really did commit a crime, it won't be too late to punish them."
Ning Qi said with a smile.
Elder Long was still a little unwilling and was about to speak when she saw Elder Fang instruct an attendant behind him, "Go find out where they are and bring them here."
"Yes!"
Hearing this, the attendant turned around and left.
"Elder Fang, isn't this against the rules?"
Elder Long's brow furrowed slightly.
"Rules are dead, but people are alive. Since he helped me beat up Xue Qingguang, I have to give him this bit of face. Moreover, I also feel that this matter is quite strange."
Elder Fang said with a smile.
So he had a grudge against Xue Qingguang?
Ning Qi's eyes moved slightly and he nodded at Elder Fang with a smile, "Thank you for your understanding, Elder Fang."
Hearing this, Elder Long snorted coldly and said no more.
Not long after, the attendant brought three figures covered in blood into the main hall. Zhao Lei and the other two had dull expressions on their faces, as if they had suffered a lot during this period of time. When they entered the main hall and saw Ning Qi, their eyes immediately lit up, and their expressions were filled with excitement.
"Eh?"
Elder Long was slightly stunned. It was different from what she had imagined. Zhao Lei's appearance was average, and now that she had been punished for a period of time, she looked even more disheveled. Chen Zhong and Ming Xiong were both men. She had thought that Ning Qi had personally come to the Servant Peak to find them because the servant disciples were all beautiful female cultivators.
"The moment I came out of seclusion, someone said that you guys were captured and brought to Servant Peak for stealing spirit herbs from the herb farm. Tell me, did you guys steal it?"
Ning Qi looked at the three of them and said in a deep voice.
Ming Xiong said agitatedly, "Senior Brother Wu, how could we steal spirit herbs from the herb farm? This is a severe crime in Moon Elephant Sect! That day, you were in seclusion and it was Senior Brother Liu who called us to help in the herb farm. In the end, we fainted there for some reason. When we woke up, we were captured and brought to Servant Peak. We are innocent! "
Hearing that, Elder Long and Elder Fang's expressions changed slightly. Fainted in the herb farm? If what Ming Xiong said was true, then there might indeed be some misunderstanding in this matter.
"Senior Brother Liu? You guys are talking about Liu Muqing, right? "
Ning Qi's face became gloomy.
"That's right!"
Zhao Lei nodded and wanted to say something but stopped.
"Elders, there is a grudge between Liu Muqing and me. Now, this matter is clear. Because he can't beat me, he can't vent his anger, so he took advantage of my seclusion to vent his anger on my three servants."
Ning Qi smiled and said.
Elder Fang nodded slightly and looked at the attendant. "When the three of them were captured, they really fainted in the herb farm?"
The attendant took out a jade bamboo slip and scanned it with his Spiritual Perception. He nodded immediately and said, "Elder Fang, what they said is indeed true."
In the hall, a certain attendant suddenly lowered his head guiltily and walked out of the hall stealthily.
