"Come on, tell me what you think about these rumors! I'm really overwhelmed right now, and I think you can see it more clearly since you're idle here!"
Yu Tianxiao was too lazy to talk nonsense with the other party and told him the main purpose of his visit.
"Haha, do I need to think about it?" Ning Ping leaned on the cushion and said casually.
"Oh? Tell me quickly..." Yu Tianxiao became excited as soon as he heard it.
"Tsk, there's no doubt that this was definitely the work of the remnants of the Qiu family."
Ning Ping said lightly.
"Well! You know what? If there's really someone with such intentions, the remnant of the Qiu family is probably the mastermind! But, this is totally unfounded..."
Of course Yu Tianxiao had investigated, but he still had no clue. All the rumors appeared inexplicably, and he had no idea where the real source came from.
At this time, Ning Ping sat up straight with a mysterious look on his face.
"I'll show you a clear path, you try to investigate it!"
"Oh? What method? I'd like to hear more about it..."
"Yun Hongfang's wife, Qiu Zhidie! She's a person of high status, and we can't touch her easily. If we were to say who is the most likely person, it would have to be this person!"
"Qiu Zhidie..." Yu Tianxiao's eyes lit up slightly, and his face looked solemn.
The second daughter is the wife of Yun Hongfang, the elder of the Yun family. Although he was killed by Ning Ping last time, the Yun family did not make any trouble. I am afraid that they also have various concerns.
But if even the widow is not spared, I am afraid the Yun family will intervene for the sake of face.
"She's not very active..."
"She's certainly not easy to get involved with, but we can't let her spread rumors so recklessly!"
At this time, Ning Ping remained calm and put the title of rumor spreader on Qiu Zhidie.
Ning Ping had never done any research on this woman. He had killed her entire family, even her husband, on behalf of the Holy Land. It would be strange if she didn't hate him to the core.
If there is a chance to throw dirty water on the Holy Land, she will definitely be at the forefront, and she is the perfect candidate to be pushed forward at this time.
This will also provoke confrontation between the Holy Land and the Yun family.
"Then what can you do?"
"Since it's not easy to get rid of her directly, we can collect evidence of her spreading rumors and then throw this problem to the Yun family!"
"Well, this works! It solves the rumor problem without completely offending the Yun family! Thank you, Brother Shi!"
After Yu Tianxiao thought about it carefully, he felt that this was indeed the best solution.
As for whether Qiu Zhidie was the mastermind behind spreading the rumors, as long as we know the specific person, we can find out with a little investigation.
It doesn't even matter whether she is the mastermind or not, as long as she is involved in it.
Once this mastermind is dealt with, those rumors will be dispelled.
"This matter must be dealt with as soon as possible! You must know that during the last meeting, the Great Elder instructed us to expand the scope of the Holy Son. We have a long way to go!"
Seeing that the other party listened to this with a flickering look in his eyes, Ning Ping said solemnly again.
"Brother Shi! Can you please stop bringing up irrelevant issues? The Great Elder just gave me instructions on this matter. Sigh... if I had known this would happen, whoever wanted to be the dean would have been free!"
When Yu Tianxiao heard this, his expression immediately turned bitter. He glanced at the other person with resentment, stood up and was about to leave.
"Okay, I won't chat with you any more. I have to go and deal with this matter!"
But just as Yu Tianxiao began to investigate the remnants of the Qiu family, another rumor began to break out.
The only people left in the Qiu family at present are those who had previously married into other forces. For such a large family, this group is quite large.
Rumor has it that the Holy Land has begun to target some of the remaining marginal figures in the Qiu family, intending to wipe out all those with the surname Qiu.
It was even said that even the offspring they gave birth to were among those that the Holy Land wanted to eliminate, which gave Yu Tianxiao a headache.
The investigation went very smoothly. In just a few days, Yu Tianxiao had thoroughly investigated Qiu Zhidie.
Just as Ning Ping thought, Qiu Zhidie was very concerned about the rumors about the holy land and was at the forefront of spreading them.
After collecting the evidence, Yu Tianxiao made an appointment with Ning Ping, and the group went to the Yun family to ask for an explanation, and of course, more importantly, to express the attitude of the Holy Land.
In the Yun family's meeting hall, Yun Chengwang, as the young master, came forward to resolve the matter.
The original head of the family, Yun Hongzhuo, wanted to retire, but now all the affairs of the Yun family, big and small, are handled by Yun Chengwang.
This is the first time that Ning Ping has come to the ancestral land of the Yun family, with whom he has been entangled since he embarked on the path of cultivation.
After exchanging false compliments with the other party, he secretly sized him up.
In addition to him, there were two elders and a woman in the hall, all of whom were people Ning Ping knew.
They were the feared Second Elder Yun Duxian and the Fourth Elder Yun Yongxing. They both looked straight ahead, as if they had no choice but to come out to make up the numbers, and they began to practice on their own.
The woman was the person involved, Qiu Zhidie.
At this moment, Yun Chengwang was holding a jade slip in his hand, his brows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes kept looking at Qiu Zhidie who was standing beside him with an angry look on her face.
"Master Yun! The Qiu family's collusion with the demons is undeniable. Our Holy Land's intervention was a benevolent act to rid the cultivation world of this evil. But I never imagined such a huge misunderstanding would arise! Sigh... Rumors are terrifying!"
Yun Chengwang nodded silently. He had personally sent people to investigate the collusion between the Qiu family and the demons. The strong demonic energy in Linqiu City explained the problem.
"You were the one who spread those rumors about the Holy Land against Qiu Zhidie."
In addition to him, there were two elders accompanying him, both of whom were people Ning Ping knew.
When Qiu Zhidie heard this, she glanced coldly at the people from the Holy Land and said angrily.
"Why do you say I was the one who spread the rumor? Others can say it, but I can't. How can such a thing be justified in this world?"
As he spoke, he looked at Yun Chengwang and the executioner Elder Shi Yishi with contempt and said hatefully.
"Besides, your Holy Land is truly as you claim, with a clear conscience. It's just a rumor, so why take it so seriously? Since it's just a rumor, there's no need to pay attention to it; it will dissolve on its own."
"Could it be that your Holy Land is truly a conspiracy against our cultivation world, as the rumors say? If that's the case, I'd like the Holy Land to give me and my fellow cultivators an explanation."
A bunch of words came out of his mouth, making Ning Ping and the others look at each other in surprise.
Who is going to explain this to whom?
Just when no one knew how to respond, Ning Ping stood up, looked at the other person coldly, and started talking.
"Hmph... How about my Holy Land? My fellow Taoists will judge for themselves, so why would a woman like you need to speak for us?"
Then, without waiting for the other party to speak, he turned and said to Yun Chengwang.
"Young Master Yun, right? We are old acquaintances. What are your thoughts on this matter? My Holy Land has always been open and sincere to fellow Daoists. No matter what, you need to give an explanation to my Holy Land and the vast majority of fellow Daoists."
