"Yes, Sect Master!"
Everyone replied with folded hands.
It was naturally easy to deceive those disciples.
Using the pretext of a trial, almost no one would doubt it.
However, this made Hua Nu even more suspicious.
Not even allowed to enter the sect gate, yet sent directly to the trial—it felt like a trap.
Ye Guichen hadn't waited long at the gate before seeing Li Yuanshou.
Li Yuanshou seemed extremely enthusiastic and even scolded the disciple blocking Ye Guichen, personally escorting Ye Guichen up the mountain.
The scolded disciple was quite disgruntled.
"Who is this guy? He's about to die, yet Elder Li favors him so much?"
"Keep it down; if anyone hears us, we'll be in trouble."
"Hah, who cares? They're just a bunch of mortal ants, their deaths mean nothing!"
The disciple sneered, evidently knowing something about the upcoming events.
…
"Please, come in, Boss Ye, have a seat," Li Yuanshou warmly invited Ye Guichen to sit.
