Chapter 5 Why are you targeting Lian'er like this?

As soon as Bai Lianlian entered the Hall of Law Enforcement, she saw Mo Qianci lying on the ground. She immediately ran over, helped Mo Qianci up, and said with teary eyes,

"Senior brother, what's wrong?"

"Who is it? Who injured you? I will ask my master to avenge you."

If she hadn't moved, things would have been fine, but if she had moved, Mo Qianci would have been injured even more severely.

Mo Qianci subconsciously wanted to call out, but when she saw Bai Lianlian's worried gaze, she held back.

I must look pretty pathetic right now.

So Mo Qianci endured the pain, awkwardly avoiding Bai Lianlian's gaze, and gritted her teeth, saying, "No...it's nothing."

At this moment, the elder in charge of law enforcement, who was standing to the side, flicked his sleeve and snorted coldly, "No, there is something going on. Both of you have something to do today."

Bai Lianlian only then noticed the presence of the law enforcement elder. She supported Mo Qianci with both hands, her tone carrying a hint of questioning.

"Elder, I don't know what my senior brother has done wrong that you are so ruthless and show no mercy."

Enraged by her sharp tone, the elder of law enforcement slammed his hand on the table, and a terrifying spiritual pressure instantly forced Bai Lianlian to the ground.

"Disrespecting teachers and elders, and being insubordinate to superiors—is this your upbringing and character?"

"Today, I, the elder, will teach you a lesson on behalf of the sect leader, so that you will not become lawless and tarnish the reputation of my Tianxuan Sect."

"Elder, no!" Mo Qianci's expression changed drastically.

After saying that, the elder of law enforcement tightened his grip. Bai Lianlian suddenly regretted it and wanted to say something, but in an instant, she spat out blood and collapsed to the ground like a dead dog.

"Lian'er, Lian'er, how are you?"

Mo Qianci could no longer care about anything else, so despite his severe injuries, he immediately took out a Rank 6 Rejuvenation Pill from his spatial storage and fed it to Bai Lianlian.

He also took a Grade 5 Bone-Regenerating Pill for himself.

However, his actions were not only noticed by the elders of the Enforcement Hall, but also by many disciples of the Enforcement Hall.

The elder in charge of law enforcement's eyes flickered slightly; Mo Qianci was indeed acting strangely.

He secretly released his divine sense to search Mo Qianci, but was unexpectedly bounced back by something.

However, he was certain that Mo Qianci possessed the legendary Mustard Seed Space, but he didn't know how a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator had obtained it.

The disciples of the Enforcement Hall were quite impressed, as Mo Qianci truly lived up to his reputation as the sect leader's disciple, possessing even such rare elixirs.

It should be noted that even elders in the Tianxuan Sect rarely possess fifth-grade pills, let alone the sixth-grade pills he had brought out.

Lu Fuyue sat quietly to the side, watching the show with a slight smile on her lips.

Now, how is Mo Qianci supposed to explain this?

Being discovered to possess a valuable treasure is a major taboo in the world of cultivation.

Even if he's the male lead, he still has to go through a lot.

Just as the elder of law enforcement was about to interrogate Mo Qianci, several familiar auras arrived.

"Elder Enforcement, what are you doing?"

The elder in charge of law enforcement bowed slightly to Lu Mingzheng, "Sect Master, I suspect that your two disciples are colluding with the Demon Clan."

As soon as Lu Zhengming entered the room, he saw Mo Qianci and Bai Lianlian lying on the ground.

Seeing their disheveled appearance, he couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

One of them is his daughter, and the other is his carefully trained disciple. How could they possibly be demon spies?

However, since the elder in charge of law enforcement has said so, he must give everyone an explanation.

"Elder of Law Enforcement, what evidence do you have?"

Just as the law enforcement elder was about to speak to Lu Zhengming about Mo Qianci's strangeness, Bai Lianlian woke up.

"Master..."

She grabbed Lu Zhengming's sleeve pitifully, about to complain.

But then a familiar voice made her freeze on the spot.

"Father, I'm so afraid I'll never see you again."

"Lu Fuyue, you're not dead!"

Bai Lianlian's pupils suddenly contracted, filled with shock.

Lu Fuyue quickly ran to Lu Zhengming's side, hugged him, and cried incessantly.

Lu Zhengming was taken aback when he saw Lu Fuyue appear. "Fuyue, why are you back?"

Lu Fuyue paused, released her grip, took a few steps back, and looked up at him with a sorrowful expression.

"Father, don't you...don't you want your daughter to come back?"

"No... How could that be... Of course, Father hopes you can come back safely."

Lu Fuyue stopped crying, then changed the subject, her gaze falling on Bai Lianlian and Mo Qianci.

"But some people don't want their daughter to come back."

Lu Zhengming asked instinctively, "Who?"

Mo Qianci and Bai Lianlian immediately had a bad feeling.

"Father, do you know that it was Mo Qianci and Junior Sister who conspired with the demonic cultivators to throw me into the Endless Abyss? If someone hadn't saved me, I probably would never have seen you again."

Everyone was shocked by these words.

Especially Lu Zhengming, he immediately looked at Mo Qianci and Bai Lianlian, "Is what Fu Yue said true?"

"No, Master, that's not how it is,"

Mo Qianci didn't know how to explain it for a moment. Could it be that he abandoned his fiancée to save Lian'er and then hid the matter for fear of being blamed?

I doubt anyone would believe him if he said that; they would just take it as an excuse.

At this moment, the elders of the Alchemy Peak behind Lu Zhengming suddenly stood up, looking at Mo Qianci and Bai Lianlian with suspicion on their faces.

"I've noticed that Mo Qianci and Bai Lianlian have been getting closer and closer since Fu Yue disappeared. Don't you find that strange, Sect Master?"

"After all, normal people don't act like that."

Bai Lianlian and Mo Qianci stiffened slightly, while Lu Zhengming also seemed somewhat uneasy.

At that time, they thought Lu Fuyue was really dead, and with their master's tacit approval, they naturally had no more scruples.

They never expected that Lu Fuyue would actually come back alive, and even falsely accuse them of being her murderers.

It seems Lu Fuyue has really changed.

She used to always consider Mo Qianci's feelings, but now she seems to care about Mo Qianci at all.

“Master, you know that Fuyue and I grew up together, and she is my fiancée. How could I possibly kill her?”

At this moment, Mo Qianci's injuries had been completely healed under the effect of the Grade 5 Bone-Regenerating Pill, and he hurriedly explained.

"Yes, Master, as you know, Senior Sister Fuyue never liked me getting too close to Senior Brother. Is that why she misunderstood me?"

Bai Lianlian's injuries had mostly healed, and she looked at Lu Fuyue with a hurt expression, as if Lu Fuyue was being unreasonable.

“Senior Sister Fuyue, my senior brother and I are really not like what you think. He just pitied me because I grew up in the mortal world and had no relatives to accompany me.”

"After all, I'm not like you, Senior Sister, who has the love and care of a Master and so many elders."

"So, senior sister, there's no need for you to react so strongly. You're just causing trouble for your senior brother."

Bai Lianlian's words successfully made many people hesitate.

Because in their eyes, Lu Fuyue was that kind of person before.

So, could what Bai Lianlian said be true?

Lu Fuyue only framed Qianci and Bai Lianlian because they were getting too close.

"Hmph, I just saw with my own eyes Mo Qianci stab Fu Yue with his sword. Could that be fake?"

The enforcement elder gave Bai Lianlian a disdainful look and muttered,

"Fuyue is frail because her mother took a blow for the sect leader when she was pregnant with her. You're perfectly fine, so why are you imitating Fuyue and pretending to be dying? It's really bad luck."

Bai Lianlian's face froze, but she dared not refute, fearing that the law enforcement elder would beat her to the ground again.

But Lu Zhengming remembered the woman who died for him, who was Lu Fuyue's mother.

Therefore, he felt even more guilty towards Lu Fuyue.

However, some disciples of the Enforcement Hall couldn't help but laugh out loud. Of course, they knew why; it was just to play the victim and act pitiful.

I reckon Senior Brother Qianci falls for her charms.

At this moment, Lu Fuyue walked up to Bai Lianlian and slapped her hard across the face. Bai Lianlian was caught off guard and fell to the ground.

“Lu Fuyue, you…”

“Lu Fuyue…” Mo Qianci was shocked and subconsciously wanted to blame her, but then he remembered the words she had said to him before, so he shut his mouth.

"Lu Fuyue, what are you doing!" Lu Zhengming's face darkened abruptly, and he rushed over and pulled her away.
