Monarch Night

Yin Shen Palace furiously shouted, "Aren't you all covering for him like this?"

Mu Lin Yuan suddenly felt a weakness engulfing his entire body. He sat upright, but unconsciously slumped, looking desolate and weakly said, "Then we three are also on the Guardian's side, the Sect Hierarch might as well kill us all."

Yin Shen Palace was stunned, then suddenly enraged, "Mu Lin Yuan, what do you mean by that? Are you defying me?"

Mu Lin Yuan sighed, looking desolate, unwilling to speak further.

At this moment, he genuinely felt a sense of utter despair.

Qian Sanjiang and others also hung their heads low, saying nothing.

The atmosphere within the hall suddenly plummeted to freezing point.

Yin Shen Palace grew more and more furious, feeling increasingly troubled and confused, "Speak!"

"I dare not speak."

"Even if you dare not, you must speak."

"Saying it will upset the Sect Hierarch."

"I will not be upset, speak!"

Mu Lin Yuan put on a stern face and said, "Sect Hierarch, what I have to say may be unpleasant; are you sure you want me to speak?"

"Speak!"

Yin Shen Palace snorted.

Mu Lin Yuan suddenly straightened his back, wearing an expression as if ready to risk everything, and said, "I don't know how the Sect Hierarch came up with this idea, just saying whether Yemo might be one of the Guardians, speaking from the root of it, when we first met Yemo, he was just a Samurai. Sect Hierarch, you don't believe that someone was cultivating a Samurai to deal with us, do you? Also, at that time, no one knew the four of us would go there, right? Including Sun Yuan at that time, didn't expect us to go there either, am I right? So, someone cultivating Yemo to deal with you... ahem, the name Yemo was given by you."

Mu Lin Yuan said, "Sect Hierarch, are the things I'm saying facts?"

Yin Shen Palace recalled the past, not so distant, remembered vividly.

So he nodded slowly, "That's correct."

Mu Lin Yuan said, "If this is not enough, just saying whether Yemo was one of their people, Sect Hierarch, I don't know if the Five Spirits Gu can prove it? If he really is, he might have turned to ashes by now, wouldn't he?"

Instantly, Yin Shen Palace's face turned somewhat awkward.

Thinking this and that seemed wrong, the more he thought, the more he felt the danger.

Had actually overlooked the Five Spirits Gu.

This strike by Mu Lin Yuan directly shattered it.

He rubbed his nose, awkwardly staying silent for a long time.

"Sect Hierarch, were you frightened by this Yemo Sect Hai Sect Leader affair? Bunny fox mourning? Even started suspecting your own disciple, I'm not saying, Sect Hierarch, if Yemo had now reached Monarch level or Venerable level, had the ability to usurp the throne, I would not refute. But he is now just Marshal level... this this..."

Seeing Yin Shen Palace's expression softened, Qian Sanjiang finally gathered the courage to speak: "Sect Hierarch... your thoughts, they are somewhat incredible."

Yin Shen Palace thundered, "Qian Sanjiang! Get out!"

Dared to accuse him of bunny fox mourning?

Am I such a person, Yin Shen Palace?

Qian Sanjiang naturally did not roll out, he was very concerned about this matter, how could he leave? Accompanied by a smile, continually bowing: "Sect Hierarch, I was wrong."

Yin Shen Palace snorted, ignored him, and said to Mu Lin Yuan, "You, continue speaking!"

Mu Lin Yuan said, "Not to mention the tasks Yemo completed, which one was not filled with danger, stumbling all the way? Sect Hierarch, before the Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan, what level was Yemo? To participate in this plan, he almost camped in the Spiritual Energy Gravity Cultivation Room! What kind of dangerous behavior was that, Sect Hierarch you understand."

"Just saying the tasks he completed, we won't discuss whether he finished them easily or not, but those tasks, weren't they all assigned by us? How have they now become wrong? In other words, if we hadn't given him those tasks, Yemo should still be studying at Baiyun Martial Academy, right?"

Yin Shen Palace's face turned somewhat dark, snorted softly, "I suppose so."

"What do you mean by 'I suppose so'? Including going to the Guardian Hall, which the Sect Hierarch requested; establishing a sub-branch, the task given by the Sect Hierarch; attacking each sect branch, directed by the Sect Hierarch; finding a backing, indicated by the Sect Hierarch; setting up the Escort Agency, how to unite people's hearts, taught by the Sect Hierarch..."

Mu Lin Yuan said, "Even this time with the Yemo Sect's surprise attack, Yemo didn't know who did it, it was the Sect Hierarch who pondered and personally told Yemo it was done by Hai Wuliang, and the reason Hai Wuliang ended up in a dead-end part of it is because the Sect Hierarch you personally reported it."

Yin Shen Palace started coughing, his face awkward.

So many things were done collaboratively by the four of them, and now all three others being present, it was impossible to deny.

Mu Lin Yuan looked bewildered, "But after doing all these things, when the Sect Hierarch recalled, it turned into Yemo looked suspicious? On that side's people? Anyway, I simply cannot comprehend the Sect Hierarch's thought!"

"How did he become suspicious?"

"Yemo didn't even know who did it; it was after the Sect Hierarch told him, he immediately informed his subordinates, his subordinates immediately wrote it in a letter and sent it to the family... is this not the sequence?"

"And those people, to clear themselves of suspicion, directly pinned the killings done by Yemo on Hai Wuliang; that too is human nature, right? Then the family at Headquarters acted independently, dealing with Hai Wuliang... the whole thing is crystal clear."

"I don't see where Yemo seems wrong!"

Mu Lin Yuan had also resolved to give it his all today.

For Yemo, also for Yin Shen Palace.

In Mu Lin Yuan's view seeing that Yixin Sect was indeed under rectification, nobody could leave, but the future prospects were brilliant.

The Sect Hierarch was wise and mighty, Yemo was young and promising, with a vast future ahead.

Perhaps anytime soon, the Yixin Sect could raise its standards again!

Were it the case that due to Yin Shen Palace's momentary whimsy, the great situation was ruined, Mu Lin Yuan felt he could not accept that no matter what he said.

Yin Shen Palace's face looked indescribably awkward, saying, "What you say, makes a bit of sense."

"What do you mean makes a bit of sense, how is it just a bit of sense!"

Mu Lin Yuan said, "Ultimately, it boils down to... today Yemo removed people with a status too high, rising almost to your level, Sect Hierarch, so you began fearing, fearing your disciple might grow even more to come snatch your Sect Hierarch position, right."

Mu Lin Yuan's few sentences had already gone a bit too far.

Overstepped boundaries.

Not words that a subordinate should say.

But Mu Lin Yuan was also all in today, as friends and partners from back in the youth days, he had the qualifications to speak such words.

Sure enough, Yin Shen Palace exploded: "Nonsense! I'm afraid my disciple will snatch my position? What an absurd idea? If Yemo truly qualifies, has the means and capability, I, Yin Shen Palace, would be too happy to let him have the Sect Hierarch position! Why would I worry about that? Do you think I care that much about the Sect Hierarch's position?!"

"Hehe..."

The three of them simultaneously uttered a "hehe."

Yes, you don't care.

You damn well don't care!

You don't care to the point of wanting to kill your disciple who is just at Marshal level...

"What are you 'hehe-ing' about?"

Yin Shen Palace also felt himself being overly suspicious, but at that "hehe," he suddenly became ashamed and angry!

Furiously said, "Don't you know how much I care for and spoil my disciple?"

The three rolled their eyes.

But the moment your paranoia flares, you want to kill, why don't you say so?

After everyone said so much, Yin Shen Palace's suspicion disorder mostly dissipated, pacing about, said, "However, just the fact Yemo only kills his own people... is no good either."

Mu Lin Yuan instantly was speechless, deeply troubled, "Sect Hierarch! He is an undercover! Undercover, ah! An undercover you sent. Do you want him to kill the Guardian? This... it would be better for him to return to Headquarters, and then openly go kill the Guardian! What kind of nonsense is this?"

Yin Shen Palace sinisterly said, "But he can't not kill anyone! Even bandits joining a gang need to present a trophy! Not to mention our Yixin Sect?"

Mu Lin Yuan had no words left, wanting to slam into a wall: "The Five Spirits Gu isn't enough of a trophy?"

"Not enough!"

Actually, Yin Shen Palace by now knew he was being overly paranoid.

Also, his mood had completely changed, however, as Sect Hierarch, how could he say something and treat it as nonsense?

So no matter what, he had to hold on to something, to maintain the Sect Hierarch's dignity.

Moreover, he firmly believed, the one point he clung to, was correct. Even if he trusts Yemo again, even if he were his biological son, he must do this!

"But now, Yemo has no way to kill. He is now the Guardian Hall's Steward Jinxing, struggled hard to climb to this position, how to kill the Guardian? Wouldn't that be all for nothing?"

Mu Lin Yuan groaned loudly.

As if hearing his own heart shattering.

"As for this point, I will find a way."

Yin Shen Palace calmly said, "Now, of course, it's impossible to let him kill. If let him kill now, who knows who he kills? Wait until the restriction order on Yixin Sect's Headquarters is lifted, I'll personally handle this matter."
