Chapter 1388 Apology
"Elder Qu, where are those people?"
Leng Wenxuan asked, at this moment he was still suspicious of Qu Chengye's side.
"them……"
Wu Zhen on the other side was about to speak when he heard a noise outside.
Soon, five or six disciples from the Red Sky Pavilion came up and bowed respectfully with a bit of nervousness.
They are all the people guarding the other exit of the secret realm.
"Where is Wang Yan?"
Wu Zhen frowned and asked when he saw that one of the elders in charge was missing.
"Elder Wang..."
A disciple wanted to explain.
"The sinner is here!"
A voice was heard, and soon, a middle-aged man with a naked upper body and his hands tied behind his back strode over.
Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes fell on Wang Yan. They were all very surprised by his attire. A sinner?
Is this a preparation to take responsibility and apologize?
Only Cui Chen was drinking tea calmly. Ning Zhang and others beside him seemed surprised, but in fact, these were all arrangements they had made privately.
"Wang Yan! You...what do you mean?"
Wu Zhen frowned.
Qu Chengye's expression also changed slightly, and a bad premonition flashed through his mind.
thump!
Wang Yan knelt on the ground with a serious look on his face.
"Elder Wu."
Wang Yan looked at Wu Zhen, somewhat excited.
"Elder Wang!"
Guan Jing's tone changed, Wang Yan was indeed the person behind him.
Now he is ready to take on all of it, so as to reduce the adverse impact on Qu Chengye. So what on earth is Wang Yan thinking behind this action?
The entire Chixiao Pavilion knows that Wang Yan is Wu Zhen’s most trusted person. Apart from the eight elders, he holds a pivotal position in the elder camp.
If he admitted everything, Wu Zhen would be dragged into this, and Qu Chengye would also be affected...
"I was the one who first told Guan Jing about Xiao Yi entering the secret realm, and I was also the one who... let him enter the secret realm."
Wang Yan spoke.
"Wang Yan!"
Wu Zhen's voice sank, his thoughts raced, and he still found it hard to accept.
Everyone's expressions changed to varying degrees. Qu Chengye's side had a gloomy face, while Cui Chen's side was calm but proud.
As for Xiao Yi and the others, the situation is still unclear for the moment, so is this Wang Yan the person behind the scenes?
Judging from the situation, Wang Yan is Wu Zhen's man, so is there something else going on here?
"Wang Yan! Why are you doing this?!"
Qu Chengye frowned.
"Elder Qu, I have a very good relationship with Elder Wei Zhen and Guan Jing, so... since the opportunity is in front of me, I have to do something!"
Wang Yan explained.
"No! This matter... has nothing to do with Elder Wang!"
Guan Jing shook his head. Wouldn’t this guy’s sudden appearance just cause more trouble? It would only make the situation more complicated!
"From what you said, you mean Wu Zhen didn't know about it and it was your personal behavior?"
Ning Zhang ignored Guan Jing and said to Wang Yan playfully.
"Yes! It has nothing to do with Elder Wu!"
Wang Yan shook his head with a firm tone.
"You should know the consequences of telling lies!"
Cui Chen said this deliberately, in fact this was the effect he really wanted. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Wang Yan was intentionally protecting his "master".
In other words, Wang Yan, like Guan Jing, wanted to take full responsibility. The more this was the case, the more Wu Zhen could not clear himself of suspicion!
"It has nothing to do with Elder Wu! I am just feeling aggrieved! There must be an explanation for Elder Wei Zhen's death!"
Wang Yan insisted.
"But how do you know that it was Xiao Yi who killed Wei Zhen? It is clear that only a few of us elders know about this. This is the Pavilion Master's order and it cannot be spread to outsiders. Guan Jing also knows this."
Ning Zhang continued.
"I……"
Wang Yan was stunned.
"I'm the one who told Elder Wang!"
Guan Jing spoke up, and the truth was not what he said, but what Wu Zhen said.
"If that's the case, then this matter really seems to have nothing to do with Elder Wu."
Ning Zhang spoke slowly, with obvious hidden meaning in his words.
Wu Zhen wanted to speak, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back. No matter what he said at this moment, it seemed a little powerless.
"Elder Wu, you really didn't tell Wang Yan about this?"
Leng Wenxuan asked, he still had some doubts about Wu Zhen.
Wu Zhen didn't know how to answer for a moment, and it was precisely his hesitation that was noticed by Leng Wenxuan.
"After all, the root of the problem is still you!"
Leng Wenxuan snorted coldly.
"Master Leng, this matter..."
Wu Zhen felt that he had no way of explaining himself. No matter what, Wang Yan was his man and he couldn't escape responsibility!
"Master Leng! This matter has nothing to do with Elder Wu. The lives of Guan Jing and I are not enough to pay back!"
Wang Yan, kneeling on the ground, looked at Leng Wenxuan, then at Xiao Yi, with some anger still on his face.
"If anything happens to my sister, even if you die a hundred times or a thousand times, it won't be enough!"
Xiao Yi said in a deep voice, and a violent aura was released instantly.
Then, his eyes fell on Wu Zhen with a suspicious look on his face.
"This matter...has nothing to do with me!"
After a while, Wu Zhen finally expressed his opinion and looked at Xiao Yi and Leng Wenxuan.
He did this not just for his own sake, he also wanted to protect the interests of his own camp, so he could only cut off his relationship with Wang Yan, let alone ask for mercy.
In addition, he was also very clear that he would have to pay a price before Xiao Yi or even Cui Chen's side would be satisfied.
"You can't just say it's okay and get away with it! Even if you didn't know about their plan, you still have a responsibility!"
Leng Wenxuan said coldly.
"Master Leng..."
Qu Chengye opened his mouth slowly, and for a moment he didn't know what to say. If he begged for mercy, he would definitely be suspected.
But if he remained indifferent, how could he be worthy of sitting on the position of the chief elder.
"This matter... is all my fault. I am not good at managing my subordinates."
Qu Chengye came close to Xiao Yi.
"I... would like to apologize to Mr. Xiao first."
As Qu Chengye spoke, he cupped his hands and bowed to Xiao Yi.
As for him, even if there is no need to protect Wang Yan and Guan Jing, he must do something about Wu Zhen, otherwise it will only discourage more people.
Seeing this scene, the happiest person would be Cui Chen.
He knew very well that it was actually difficult to directly drag Qu Chengye into this matter. It was already very good at the moment that things had come to this point.
Then, Fang Xing'an and others also bowed to Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi sat upright, looking at Qu Chengye and others who were bowing, without any expression.
He could see that this matter had nothing to do with Qu Chengye, and he also knew why he did this.
"Mr. Xiao!"
Wu Zhen came closer and knelt down on one knee.
"At worst, you can take my life too!"
"Wu Zhen!"
Qu Chengye shouted, this guy's tone made no one feel comfortable.
"Old Wu!"
Fang Xing'an also shouted in a low voice, so many people wanted to plead for Wu Zhen, but this guy actually sang the opposite tune.
Of course, he also understood in his heart that Wu Zhen was just worried that the fire would really be brought to Qu Chengye.
He was a little anxious, but for some reason, he always felt that something was going on, but he couldn't figure it out.
At this time, he could not have imagined that Wang Yan, who was trusted by Wu Zhen, had already defected to the other camp.
Seeing Xiao Yi indifferent, Fang Xing'an thought of something and could only look at Xiao Wan, hoping that she would put the overall situation first and not let things get worse...
