Chapter 146: Xingshi asks for guilt
Just when Nie Fei was talking with the Four Great Sects, Li Jing's residence also ushered in a group of guests, but the one who led the group of guests was a little menacing, looking like he came to collect debts.
The leader was none other than Wang Han, the vice president of Beihai Academy, and he was followed by another vice president of Beihai Academy, as well as the other eight elders of the inner courtyard.
The news from the previous Formation Mage Branch said that Nie Fei had reached the level of an eighth-level formation mage at a young age, Wang Han was already suspicious of Nie Fei, and when he saw Nie Fei's powerful sword skills today, he instantly linked the murderer of his grandson Wang Hongxuan with Nie Fei!
Nie Fei is proficient in the Nine Palace Array and has superb swordsmanship, but now he just lacks a powerful fire-based technique, and he can completely match the murderer who killed Wang Hongxuan!
However, the strong fire element left at the scene at that time may have been deliberately done by the murderer in order to disturb everyone's sight, and the most important thing is that Nie Fei and Wang Hongxuan had a holiday, and the motive for killing was very obvious!
"Vice President Wang, what are you doing here?" Although Li Jing was a little uneasy in her heart, she didn't show any panic on her face.
"What am I here for? Your apprentice Nie Fei killed my grandson Wang Hongxuan, how should you calculate this account, which you are a master? As soon as Wang Han came up, he directly charged Nie Fei with murder.
"Humph! Don't ruin my reputation as a vain! Li Jing said slightly angrily.
"Empty words? Your apprentice has not only mastered powerful sword skills, but also mastered the Nine Palace Formation, and most importantly, he has a holiday with my grandson! My grandson is very popular, he doesn't have any enemies at all, if you have to count, Nie Fei is his only enemy! Wang Han said excitedly.
"That's your evidence? Don't say I'm not convinced, you ask the other elders to see if they will agree with you? Li Jing replied unceremoniously.
The people present all showed suspicious looks on their faces, although Wang Han's rhetoric was reasonable, it was still a bit far-fetched after all.
"Then how can you say there is such a coincidence in the world? My grandson has a grudge against Nie Fei, and Nie Fei is good at the Nine Palaces Formation and superb swordsmanship! At that time, everyone unanimously came to the conclusion that the murderer was a young man of the same age as my grandson, who was proficient in the Nine Palace Array and superb swordsmanship! Wang Han argued.
"How do you explain the fire element left at the scene? I didn't learn any fire-based exercises and martial arts at all. Li Jing said lightly.
"Isn't that easy? Buying a flame charm casually, or using some special fire-based magic weapons, can create this kind of illusion, and Nie Fei deliberately left these clues to disrupt our sight! Wang Han said with certainty.
Li Jing frowned and was silent, while everyone present showed thoughtful expressions, it was indeed as Wang Han said, this matter was too much of a coincidence!
"How? Now you don't have anything to say, do you? Wang Han asked imposingly.
Li Jing bit her lip and said, "Nie Fei is not a murderer, you misjudged." ”
"Oh? What evidence do you have that he is not the murderer? Wang Han asked angrily.
Li Jing seemed to have made up her mind, exhaled calmly, and then said slowly: "Nie Fei's Nine Palace Formation was only learned four months after your grandson's death, and he didn't know the Nine Palace Formation at that time!" ”
"What? You are talking nonsense! Wang Han exclaimed.
Not only Wang Han was surprised, but all the elders showed a look of surprise, if it was really like what Li Jing said, then Nie Fei's suspicion could be completely cleared.
"Ninth Elder, it's not that we're targeting you and Nie Fei, it's just that the stakes are very high, and we must ask clearly." The Great Elder spoke.
"Great Elder, Elders, and Vice President Yang, you are all here today, and you can give a testimony to my apprentice and prove his innocence!" Li Jing said solemnly to everyone.
"Say, what evidence do you have to prove that Nie Fei's Nine Palace Formation was only learned after my grandson's death?" Wang Han asked excitedly and loudly.
"What if I could prove it?" Li Jing asked rhetorically.
"You have to be able to prove that I, Wang, personally apologize to you today, and never go to Nie Fei for trouble in the future!" Wang Han let it go.
An imperceptible smile flashed in Li Jing's eyes, and then he said slowly: "His Nine Palace Formation is exactly what I taught him with my own hands, when did he learn the formation, isn't it clear to me, who is a master?" ”
Wang Han was stunned, the rest of the elders were also stunned, everyone looked at Li Jing in unison, everyone's expressions were different, some were surprised, some were questioning, some were dazed, and some suddenly realized......
"I don't believe it, you are a little ninth-level formation mage, you don't understand the nine-palace formation at all, how can you teach Nie Fei?" Wang Han shouted.
"Bastard! You can question my cultivation strength, but you can't question my formation level! Li Jing was furious, and the momentum in her body suddenly exploded, and a powerful coercion approached Wang Han.
Wang Han is only a cultivator of the first layer of the Jindan period, and Li Jing is a cultivator of the third layer of the Jindan period, the difference between the two is 2 levels, how can Wang Han be Li Jing's opponent?
In an instant, Wang Han suffered a loss, and was shocked back several steps by Li Jing's coercion, and almost fell to the ground, which was a big shame!
"You! It's too much of a deception! I theorize with you, but you do it with me, it's unreasonable! Wang Han was so angry that he didn't dare to fight back, so he had to look at the Great Elder and the others as if asking for help.
The Great Elder frowned, he was actually biased towards Li Jing and Nie Fei in his heart, not to mention that Li Jing had a better relationship with the elders, let's just say Nie Fei, now he has become an outstanding talent that the various major sects are competing for, at this time, if he really wants to ask Nie Fei for guilt, isn't Wang Han afraid of offending those major sects?
However, as the Great Elder of the Inner Court of Beihai Academy, he must be fair in his dealings, and he can't chill everyone's hearts because of his own selfishness, which is also the fundamental reason why everyone respects the Great Elder for so many years.
"Vice Dean Wang, the Ninth Elder is also angry for a while, what you said just now is indeed a bit disrespectful to the mage." The Great Elder pondered for a moment and said, "Ninth Elder, Vice President Wang is also speaking disrespectfully because of excessive grief and indignation, you don't want to hurt everyone's harmony because of this little thing." ”
The Great Elder spoke, and even if Li Jing and Wang Han were angry in their hearts, they had to give the Great Elder some face, and after exposing the matter, they didn't mention it, and everyone returned to the original topic.
I saw the Great Elder ask with a pleasant face, "Ninth Elder, as far as I know, it seems that you haven't been promoted to the eighth level formation mage, why can you teach Nie Fei to learn the Nine Palace Formation?" ”
Li Jing flicked her sleeves and said calmly: "I have already learned the Nine Palace Formation, but I didn't have time to go to the Formation Mage Guild for certification, so everyone doesn't know that I am already an eighth-level Formation Mage......"
