I Just Want To Slack off In Cultivation

The woman was stunned and instinctively said, “He’s gone.”

“Gone?” Li Ping frowned. “Why did he disappear?”

‘The woman’s gaze was a little evasive and a little pleased as she said, “Old Master has been in seclusion these past few days. I… I discussed it with the Miao and Zhou families. After that, he disappeared.”

“Nonsense!” Li Ping’s expression darkened as he shouted, “You actually let those two families silence such an important witness?!”

“But isn’t the matter obvious?” the woman asked curiously. “Moreover, although that little bastard, Pei Ling, was vicious, if that disciple had not had bad intentions and arranged for such a bastard to go to Siguang and the others, would such a thing have happened?”

Li Ping sneered. “What a worthless opinion! Do you believe whatever the Disciplinary Hall says? Yes, their reconnaissance ability is indeed peerless. Ever since the founding of the Holy Sect, there have been few cases of injustice and falsehood! But even their words can’t prove that the culprit is Pei Ling.”

‘The woman was tongue-tied. “B, but.

“That Pei Ling is only at the fourth-stage Qi Refinement realm, and he is not highborn. I’m sure he doesn’t have any foundation,” Li Ping said coldly. “With his age and cultivation level, it’s already not bad to be able to defeat any of the three children one-on-one. But where did he get the ability to fight all

three on his own and kill Siguang and the other two?”

The woman said, “The Disciplinary Hall said that he knows a powerful saber technique and an escape technique

“Isn’t that settled?” Li Ping said calmly. “He is Pei Hongnian’s junior. Pei Hongnian has been in the sect for many years. Who doesn’t know his background? Does Pei Hongnian know such powerful saber and escape techniques? If he does, based on his stupidity of being toyed with by Sun Yinglan, he would

have been exposed long ago! Since Pei Hongnian doesn’t know, let me ask you, on what basis does Pei Ling know?”

“Perhaps it was his own private opportunity?” The woman was a little unconvinced. “After all, it was not the time for the sect to recruit new people, but he was an exception brought in by the inner sect’s Branch Master Zheng. Clearly, he has his unique points?”

Li Ping looked at her as if he was looking at an idiot. “Do you think the Pei family members of Deer Spring City are dead? How could such saber and escape techniques be executed overnight? If Pei Ling had such an opportunity, how could the Pei family not have noticed that when he had grown up in Deer

Spring City? After sensing it, would they not have told Pei Hongnian, who is the eldest son?”

“.. Then what does Old Master mean?” The woman opened her mouth, feeling that what he said made sense. Her voice immediately lowered as she asked slowly.

Li Ping sneered. “The key is not Pei Ling at all! It’s Zheng Jingshan from the inner sect!”

He pointed in the direction of the Hall of Affairs. “After I heard about Siguang, I’d already sent someone to ask around. On the morning that Siguang and the others were killed, this Pei Ling appeared at the Miscellaneous Committee and went around begging people to team up with him… He was taken

away by Chen Huan and the others. Now, I’m afraid his cultivation, flesh, and soul have been refined into the Soul Summoning Banner. If he’s really as cruel as you say, how could he be so easy to harm?

Zheng Jingshan must have done this!

As for the reason, hehe, it’s probably because of that child from the Miao family.

Miao Cheng’an’s older brother, Miao Chengyang, is also a member of the 13 inner sect branches like Zheng Jingshan. They have a grudge against each other.

Although in terms of ability, Miao Chengyang doesn’t take Zheng Jingshan seriously at all, Zheng Jingshan and Li Zhenchuan are old friends… So Miao Chengyang doesn’t dare to go overboard. ƒ𝓇e𝙚𝔀𝐞𝚋𝓃𝐨𝘷e𝙡.𝒄𝗼m

Not long ago, there was a conflict between these two factions. Zheng Jingshan suffered a huge loss and almost had to ask Li Zhenchuan to settle the aftermath.

Later, although the other Branch Masters mediated, Zheng Jingshan kept threatening to take revenge…”

Li Ping narrowed his eyes. “Otherwise, since Pei Ling’s is of low birth and his cultivation is weak, would he be crazy to attack Siguang and the other two as soon as he entered the sect?!

Tm afraid he entered the sect to take revenge by killing Miao Cheng’an on Zheng Jingshan’s orders.”

‘The woman was stunned for a moment. She felt that something was wrong and could not help but remind him, “Old Master, you said just now that if Pei Ling knows powerful saber and escape techniques, it’s impossible for the Pei family not to notice. It’s also impossible for Pei Hongnian not to learn

them! But Pei Hongnian doesn’t even know saber techniques… Moreover, Branch Master Zheng seemed to have gone to Deer Spring City only recently. How could Pei Ling have mastered them so quickly…”

“Why are you so stupid?” Li Ping sighed helplessly and interrupted her. “It’s not like Pei Hongnian has been under Zheng Jingshan for only a day or two. Who knows if he secretly imparted some cultivation techniques to his younger brother? As for why Pei Hongnian and the Pei family don’t know about it,

it’s very simple. Zheng Jingshan just wants to find a pawn. Why would he care about Pei Ling’s life or death? How precious are true superior cultivation techniques! Is the Pei family’s status worthy of him paying such a high price to bribe them?

It must be powerful and can be completed quickly, without regard for the consequences or the price.

It’s one thing for the Pei family to have a collateral descendant working for Zheng Jingshan, but why would they be willing to trade the eldest son they have high hopes for?

As for that Pei Ling, his biological mother passed away early. After his stepmother entered the family, he became redundant in the Pei family. With such a background, he’s most suitable to be abandoned!”

He sneered again. “This is Zheng Jingshan’s old trick. Don’t forget that when he first entered the inner sect, he killed his own father in order to cultivate and seize the position of Branch Master! Even his own father could be used as a stepping stone, let alone a mere Pei family member.”

The woman gritted her teeth and stood up. “Old Master! Since we know what Zheng Jingshan did, we must not let him off!” f𝘳𝚎𝑒𝚠𝑒𝚋𝘯o𝘃eƖ.co𝓂

“It’s too late!” Li Ping said coldly. “The sect rules are heartless, but the sect rules also rely on evidence. Now, Pei Ling has become an accomplice of the Soul Summoning Banner. The dead can’t testify. No matter how much we suspect Zheng Jingshan, we can’t convince the Disciplinary Hall to attack him.

They can’t go knocking on his door to denounce him for no reason. Who knows, if they accidentally violate the sect rules, they might even have to pay a fine!”

He slowly exhaled and said resentfully, “That’s why I asked you where the disciple who assigned Pei Ling to Siguang and the others is. Initially, I thought that if we could find evidence against Zheng Jingshan, it would be a clue that he bribed the disciple. Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental? Pei Ling

just came to the outer sect and an outer sect disciple with a bad temperament assigned him to Miao Cheng’an’s residence?

It’s obvious that Zheng Jingshan bribed the disciple. He did it on purpose to give Pei Ling a chance to carry out his vicious killing.

But I didn’t expect you to be so impulsive as to help Zheng Jingshan clean up the mess!”

The woman could not help but cry. “Old Master, that’s your biological grandson! Even if you have other children, this concubine gave you this little heir. Are you really not going to care?”

“Of course I can’t ignore it.” Li Ping glanced at the concubine. After all, she had served him for many years, and he could not bear to see her like this. He hesitated for a while and said, “But Zheng Jingshan is in the inner sect, and it’s not appropriate for me, an outer sect elder, to do anything. Why don’t you

tell the news to the Miao and Zhou families and ask Zhou Zhenchuan to restrain Li Zhenchuan so that Miao Chengyang can deal with Zheng Jingshan? Without the protection of Li Zhenchuan, Zheng Jingshan will not be able to withstand a single blow from Miao Chengyang!”

“Yes!” The woman wiped her face indiscriminately and bowed with a ferocious expression. She tumed around and walked out with a murderous look. She said bitterly, “Tll go avenge Siguang now!”
