#369 - He is still a virgin?
#369 - He is still a virgin?
These words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the hearts of everyone in the Law Enforcement Hall.
The Law Enforcement Hall members trembled as if struck by lightning, their faces instantly turning as pale as paper, devoid of all color.
They knew all too well that an irreconcilable and deep-seated hatred had already formed between Liang Jin and the Law Enforcement Hall.
And the Sect Leader's decision to have Liang Jin rectify the Law Enforcement Hall undoubtedly granted Liang Jin absolute power to retaliate and purge!
Immediately, the Law Enforcement Hall disciples were terrified and panicked, kneeling down one after another with miserable cries, begging for their lives.
Seeing this, Li Xueqing could no longer sit still and quickly stepped forward, anxiously saying:
"Sect Leader, the Law Enforcement Hall may indeed have made some inappropriate decisions in handling this matter."
"But in any case, the responsibility of rectifying the Law Enforcement Hall should not be entrusted to Xiong Ba!"
As the former leader of the Law Enforcement Hall, and with the current actions initiated under her instructions,
if she didn't speak up for the Law Enforcement Hall, who would be willing to serve her in the future?
Speaking to this point, Li Xueqing suddenly turned her head, her gaze like a knife aimed at Liang Jin, and continued:
"Moreover, even if Xiong Ba didn't force An Lansheng and Han Suyan, it doesn't prove that there was definitely no illicit affair between them!"
"Even if they were willing, the rumors are now flying everywhere, causing extremely negative impacts within the sect, making countless disciples disgusted by it."
"Since Xiong Ba can't control his own desires and uses his position to satisfy his own pleasures, he should bear the corresponding responsibility."
Immediately, Liang Jin was about to retort.
However, no one had expected that at this critical moment, Elder Qing Nang would stand up.
Under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Elder Qing Nang cleared his throat, coughed twice, and slowly said:
"I originally didn't want to interfere in this matter."
"But things have come to this point, and I really can't stand to watch any longer. The Law Enforcement Hall and certain people have really gone too far!"
"Therefore, I can no longer sit idly by."
Li Xueqing frowned slightly, naturally understanding that Elder Qing Nang's words were directed at her.
Liang Jin was also quite surprised, secretly pondering in his heart, could Elder Qing Nang say something convincing at this time?
He only heard Elder Qing Nang slowly extend his hand, pointing at Liang Jin, and solemnly said:
"This Xiong Ba, he is still... a virgin!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present couldn't help but be slightly stunned, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Being a virgin meant never having engaged in matters between men and women.
If what Elder Qing Nang said was true, then the previous rumors about Liang Jin's lewd behavior in the Supervisor's Hall would be self-defeating.
Especially the accusations against Liang Jin today, instantly became ridiculous jokes.
Even Liang Jin himself was quite surprised by these words.
He really didn't expect that his clone was actually still a virgin.
Hearing this, an unbelievable expression also appeared in Li Xueqing's eyes.
She couldn't understand at all how this kid's body could still maintain such a pure state?!
This really didn't make sense!
Looking at his physique, so mighty and robust, and cultivating fierce martial arts that enhanced the body, such as the 《Hundred Evils Body Great Art》, this would inevitably cause the Yang energy in his body to be too strong, and the demand for desire would far exceed that of ordinary men.
Moreover, seeing that he was not young, he was no longer an ignorant teenager.
What's more, he now had power and influence, and beauties could be summoned and dismissed at will, and he could easily satisfy his desires at any time.
He could actually hold back?
Was it really necessary for him to hold back?
Even if he had to hold back, he could simply recruit two people with ordinary looks into the Supervisor's Hall, why did he have to recruit two exceptionally beautiful women?
Knowing that these two were only at the ninth rank of cultivation, and had almost nothing to offer except for their outstanding looks.
Liang Jin let these two accompany him, if he said he wasn't after their beauty, who could believe it?
"Elder Qing Nang, you must be responsible for what you say today in front of the Sect Leader!"
Li Xueqing's face sank, and she shouted in a deep voice.
She really didn't expect Elder Qing Nang to publicly stand against her, and couldn't help but remind him.
Elder Qing Nang snorted coldly, and replied in a firm tone:
"Elder Li, we naturally have no grudges, and I am not favoring Xiong Ba."
"But today's matter is really unbearable for me! I am just discussing the matter as it stands, upholding justice, and speaking out of righteousness."
Li Xueqing's eyebrows stood on end, her eyes widened in anger, and she wanted to retort again.
But at this moment, the other elders stood up one after another.
The elders started talking all at once, saying:
"What Elder Qing Nang said is absolutely right! What really chills the hearts of the disciples is not a baseless rumor, but the Law Enforcement Hall's methods and attitude this time!"
"Don't even mention the Qingnang Elder; even I can't stand it anymore! The conduct of the Law Enforcement Hall today is so egregious that even the Great Qian Dynasty's infamous hounds, the Secret Affairs Bureau, would be ashamed."
"That's right! If they can frame Xiong Ba today by torturing An Lansheng and Han Suyan, then tomorrow they might repeat the same trick and frame all of you here!"
… …
The elders stood up at this time, not out of personal grievances.
They understood very well that Li Xueqing was likely behind the Law Enforcement Hall's actions.
And the elders all felt that Li Xueqing had gone too far in this matter!
Previously, everyone thought that Liang Jin's storming into the Law Enforcement Hall and crippling the cultivation of the Hall Master and the enforcers was too reckless.
But now that they understood the reason for the matter, they felt that Liang Jin's actions were not just arrogant and despotic.
If they were maliciously framed and slandered like that, they might have acted even more impulsively than Liang Jin, perhaps even tearing down the roof of the Law Enforcement Hall.
But now, Li Xueqing not only didn't repent but even attacked the Qingnang Elder for speaking the truth, which was too much.
The elders finally couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward to express their views.
Li Xueqing couldn't help but be stunned. Her anger and rebuttals were extinguished in an instant, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head.
The latest novels are available on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!
Only now did she wake up as if from a dream, realizing that she had incurred public wrath.
Just then.
Yu Linglong, sitting high above, had a cold expression and said coldly:
"Alright, to completely quell the rumors, let the elders personally verify whether Xiong Ba is a virgin later."
"If Xiong Ba is indeed a virgin, then anyone in the sect who dares to spread scandalous rumors about Xiong Ba will be severely punished!"
Speaking of this, Yu Linglong suddenly changed her tone:
"However, the Law Enforcement Hall has serious problems and can no longer bear the responsibility of punishing those who spread rumors."
"During the rectification period of the Law Enforcement Hall, this sect master specially grants the Surveillance Envoy the power of law enforcement! For all disciples below the elders, if anyone is found to have violated the sect rules, the Surveillance Envoy can punish them according to the sect rules!"
"Furthermore, from now on, Xiong Ba no longer needs to report when entering and leaving Hualong Island. He can freely enter and exit, and can also go to the outer island disciples to select elite talents to supplement the Surveillance Hall."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Because in this way, Liang Jin was equivalent to possessing the two major powers of surveillance and law enforcement at the same time!
In the Hualong Sect, he could really walk sideways from now on.
Although he could not control the elders, he could supervise and punish everyone below the elders!
This made his status probably equal to that of the elders.
If the position of elder in the Hualong Sect had not always been passed down through the direct line, everyone would have suspected that Yu Linglong would promote Liang Jin to elder in the next step.
Li Xueqing was shocked when she heard this and hurriedly dissuaded her:
"Sect Master, this must not be done!"
"If the two major powers are concentrated in the hands of Xiong Ba alone, if Xiong Ba harbors ulterior motives and plots wrongdoing, it will inevitably bring a devastating disaster to our Hualong Sect!"
Li Xueqing never trusted Liang Jin and always believed that he was a spy sent by enemy forces.
Now, hearing that the Sect Master was going to grant Liang Jin the power that no disciple in the history of the Hualong Sect had ever enjoyed, how could she not be worried?
After Li Xueqing finished speaking, she looked anxiously at the elders, her eyes full of expectation, hoping that someone would stand up and speak for her.
However, the elders all chose to remain silent.
They also felt that Yu Linglong's approach seemed a little inappropriate.
But they understood even more that Yu Linglong was comforting and compensating Liang Jin at this time.
After all, Liang Jin had suffered such serious framing and slander today, and it was indeed necessary to appease people's hearts.
Moreover, the Sect Master did not indicate that the power of law enforcement would be permanently handed over to Liang Jin. After the Law Enforcement Hall was rectified, it was still possible to take back the power of law enforcement and return it to the Law Enforcement Hall.
On the other hand, Yu Linglong's granting Liang Jin the power to freely enter and leave the island did not attract much attention.
After all, compared with the great power of law enforcement, this power seemed insignificant.
Especially now that Han Suyan and An Lansheng had suffered serious torture and injuries, it was reasonable for Yu Linglong to allow Liang Jin to promote his trusted personnel from outside the island.
It's just that no one could have imagined that the granting of this power actually harbored Yu Linglong's selfishness.
Yu Linglong had long been eager to go out to the island to play again. Giving Liang Jin the power to leave the island would allow Liang Jin to make arrangements in advance.
"You… why aren't you talking?"
Li Xueqing's eyes widened as she stared at the elders and questioned sharply:
"Are you going to watch the Hualong Sect head towards destruction?"
"If that day really comes, what face will you have to face the ancestors of the Hualong Sect?"
The elders just shook their heads slightly, but no one answered.
They all regarded Li Xueqing as saying angry words after losing.
Li Xueqing couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in her heart, and her mood instantly sank to the bottom, feeling only sadness.
She had already lost the position of Law Enforcement Elder, and the only place where she could exercise her power was the Law Enforcement Hall.
But now, even the Law Enforcement Hall was going to be purged by Liang Jin. In this way, she would probably lose all the remaining power in her hands in the future.
At this moment, she only felt a burst of dizziness, as if the world was spinning.
A sweet taste suddenly surged into her throat. Under excessive agitation, it affected the injuries in her body, and a mouthful of blood flowed out of her mouth involuntarily.
Seeing Li Xueqing like this, Yu Linglong couldn't help but sigh slightly and said:
"Elder Li, I once advised you before, hoping that you could calm down in the future."
"I thought that after you stepped down from the position of Law Enforcement Elder, you would be able to understand thoroughly."
"But I really didn't expect that not only did you not restrain yourself, but you became even more narrow-minded and jealous of the virtuous, which is really disappointing to me."
"Go back and take good care of your injuries. Before your injuries are healed, you don't need to ask about the affairs of the sect."
"In the future, you should also cultivate your temperament more. It's best to participate as little as possible in the important decisions of the sect."
Everyone's faces showed surprise when they heard this.
The Sect Master used to value Li Xueqing quite a bit, but now, listening to the Sect Master's meaning… is she intentionally letting Li Xueqing retire directly from the center of power?
Although Li Xueqing is inextricably linked to today's events.
However, it has never happened in the Hualong Sect that an elder in her prime would be directly retired!
