Venomous slander
The entire hall fell into a deathly silence. All the elders narrowed their eyes while Qin Xiao and Qin Zhengtian's faces turned even uglier!
Only Lin Ling continued to sip his tea as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
"As expected of the Duan Family. Duan Tianhe, this is a beautiful move!" Qin Xiao smashed the teacup on the table. Was their Qin Family going to lose in the end?
"Grandmaster Ye Ding, our Qin Family has treated him well. Who would have thought that he would betray us? This old man is really scheming!" "Exactly.
I've always treated him like a senior, respectful and courteous. However, although he looks kind on the surface, his heart is actually very black! " "Yes.
The elders gritted their teeth and said. Master Ye Ding had shown them the light of death for the Qin Family.
"Although Grandmaster Ye Ding is despicable, after working for our Qin Family for so many years, we can see that he isn't an evil person. Perhaps he was just bewitched by someone. What makes me curious is, who is the person who bewitched him?" "Yes."
At this moment, Qin Lan suddenly spoke up. Her cold eyes looked at Lin Ling who was drinking his tea. "Guest Elder Lin Ling, you're so calm, as if you're not worried at all!" "Yes."
"Little Lan, what do you mean?" "Yes."
Qin Xiao frowned. He felt that Qin Lan seemed to be suspecting Lin Ling.
"Without anyone supporting Grandmaster Ye Ding, Grandmaster Ye Ding wouldn't dare to betray the Qin Family. During this period of time, the closest person to Grandmaster Ye Ding is Lin Ling. Moreover, only Lin Ling and Grandmaster Ye Ding can enter the pill refinement area!" Qin Lan's words were as sharp as a sword, pointing at Lin Ling!
"What? Lin Ling?" "Yes."
The entire hall was in an uproar again. Everyone looked at Lin Ling!
"Big Miss's words are not without reason. Grandmaster Ye Ding is not the type of person to do great things. He shouldn't have the guts. Perhaps there really was someone who bewitched him, or even threatened him to do such a thing. But right now, Grandmaster Ye Ding is missing, and he is bearing all the blame. "Yes."
An elder frowned, but he was also looking at Lin Ling!
"That's right. Most importantly, other than Grandmaster Ye Ding, only Guest Elder Lin Ling is allowed to enter the alchemy area. "
Soon after, voices of discussion could be heard. However, the words were all directed at Lin Ling!
"Lin Ling, what else do you have to say? No wonder I was wondering why you had to become a guest elder. It turns out that you were originally a member of the Duan Clan. You were specially arranged to come here to catch us all in one fell swoop so that we wouldn't have any chance to resist! "
Qin Lan shouted once more after the elders were puzzled.
Obviously, this was one of her plans!
"Men! Capture Guest Elder Lin Ling! Strip him of his Guest Elder status and throw him into the death cell!" Qin Lan waved her right hand and her face turned even colder!
"Lil 'Lan, there must be more to this than meets the eye. Rashly convicting Lin Ling is not good! "
"That's right, sister. I believe that Lin Ling is definitely not a traitor! "
Seeing the scene in the hall, Qin Xiao and Qin Zhengtian immediately shouted anxiously.
"Lil 'Tian, you don't know how dangerous the world is. In this world, the strong are respected and the winner is king. In order to win, there are all kinds of methods, so it's not strange that Lin Ling is a traitor! "
Qin Lan shook her head and seemed to sigh. "Father, now that things have come to this, are you still going to speak up for Lin Ling? In order to not lose face, you're already stubbornly refusing to admit defeat. Sigh, why bother? You're already old! "
Her words caused Qin Xiao and Qin Zhengtian's hearts to tremble. For a moment, they couldn't find any words to refute.
"Men! Throw Lin Ling into the death cell! "
Without giving Qin Xiao and Qin Zhengtian a chance to speak, Qin Lan shouted again.
At this moment, Lin Ling was still drinking his tea, as if none of this had anything to do with him. It was also as if he had already noticed all of this. It wasn't until a large number of Emperor Spirit Realm guards walked in that he slowly put down his teacup and looked at the crowd. "You're saying that I'm a traitor because I listened to her talk nonsense? "
The hall fell silent. Previously, Lin Ling hadn't said anything, so everyone thought that Lin Ling had tacitly agreed. However, now that Lin Ling had spoken, they also wanted to hear what Lin Ling had to say.
After all, no matter what, Lin Ling's results during this period were obvious to all.
Qin Lan naturally didn't want Lin Ling to quibble. "Now that things have come to this, do you still want to deceive everyone? Elder Ye Ding is a good person, but after being threatened by you, he walked down a path of no return. Your intentions are too vicious! " "
Lin Ling smiled faintly. "Miss Qin, I want to ask you, whose pill formula is it?"
Qin Lan's expression changed. She didn't know why, but the more calm Lin Ling was, the more uncomfortable she felt. However, she still sneered. "The pill formula is yours, but in order to deceive everyone, you really put in a lot of effort. You used a precious pill formula to win everyone's trust!"
Lin Ling shook his head, still calm. "You also know that the pill formula is mine. If I'm a traitor, then why would I have Grandmaster Ye Ding go missing? Why would I have Grandmaster Ye Ding take the pill formula to curry favor with the Duan Clan? I could have given the pill formula to the Duan Clan myself, and no one would know!"
"So, don't you think that saying that I deceived Grandmaster Ye Ding to defect to the enemy is far-fetched?"
Hearing Lin Ling's words, the crowd began to discuss.
Yes, if Lin Ling was a traitor, why would he have Grandmaster Ye Ding hand over the pill formula? He could have secretly given the pill formula to the Duan Clan. Therefore, it was hard to believe that Lin Ling had deceived Grandmaster Ye Ding.
"You're spouting nonsense!"
Qin Lan's expression was extremely ugly. She had long known that Lin Ling was very eloquent, so she didn't want Lin Ling to speak and directly wanted to convict Lin Ling. However, she still failed!
"Since I'm not the one who deceived Grandmaster Ye Ding, there's one very important point. If the pill formula was snatched by the Duan Clan, who else would benefit in the end besides the Duan Clan?"
Lin Ling said again.
"Apart from the Duan Clan, there's no one else who would benefit from it!"
"No, there's another one. It's the Eldest Miss!"
The crowd's heart trembled, but then they all looked at Qin Lan.
After all, everyone still remembered the promise that Qin Lan had made to the Patriarch a month ago. If Lin Ling failed, Qin Xiao would have to give up the position of the Patriarch, and vice versa. In that case, it was obvious who would benefit from it!
"Lin Ling, you're making slanderous accusations!"
Qin Lan gritted her teeth fiercely. When she sensed her father's angry gaze, she finally panicked. Previously, she had only wanted to use Grandmaster Ye Ding's disappearance to convict Lin Ling.
But who would have known that this plan was a mistake, and Lin Ling would bite back!
Everyone was somewhat suspicious of Qin Lan. However, Lin Ling smiled and shook his head. "I didn't say that you were a traitor. Why are you so nervous?" "Sigh."
After saying that, Lin Ling picked up his teacup again and drank. His casual manner made Qin Lan's heart surge with anger. Lin Ling had been toying with her earlier!
"I just wanted to say that Grandmaster Ye Ding wouldn't benefit from it, so there's no need for him to take the pill formula and rely on the Duan Clan. Therefore, he's innocent. As for his disappearance, perhaps he didn't disappear. "Sigh."
