As usual, the patrolling disciples of Xuanyan Sect patrolled the sect's headquarters from top to bottom.
When passing by the guest house, one of the figures flashed and paused.
"What's the matter?" asked his companion.
His eyes moved and he replied: "It's okay, I feel a little cold."
The two of them continued on their way.
His companion echoed: "It's a bit cold, and it's always gloomy at night. It shouldn't be. Could it be that the mountain-protecting formation should be repaired?"
In addition to the protective effect, the mountain guarding formation can generally regulate the energy of the four seasons. In particular, Xuanyan Sect’s subduing technique is the Flame Divine Technique, which has never been cold before.
The man echoed in his mouth, his eyes searching for suspicious traces bit by bit.
When a steward passed by, they stopped to check their badges.
The steward suddenly stiffened, but by the time the inspection was completed, he had returned to normal.
Both parties turned around, the patrolling disciple continued patrolling, and the steward continued to the backyard.
The steward walked for a long time and finally arrived at a courtyard. He knocked lightly on the door, and the maid came out to open the door.
"Manager Peng." The maid greeted in a low voice, "Please."
The steward responded and entered past the maid.
As they passed by, both of them stood frozen for a moment, and then returned to normal.
Guanshi Peng entered, and the maid exited and closed the door. When she closed it, she pinched her fingers secretly, and there were slight cracks in the soundproof formation.
The voice inside came out softly.
"Eldest Young Master, the master has asked you to entertain Master Ling and Fairy Bai tomorrow."
He responded with a cold snort: "Isn't it better for him to entertain such a distinguished guest himself?"
Manager Peng replied: "Fairy Bai wants to pay homage to the third lady. You are the master, so naturally it would be best for you to go."
"Oh!" The voice sounded strange, "It turns out that our Lu family is of use."
Manager Peng said nothing.
But this person was full of complaints and continued: "No matter how bad Aoshuang is, he is still a member of my Lu family, and his life was lost in vain, and he still wants us to cover it up. Isn't he feeling guilty for saying this? ?」
Manager Peng said tactfully: "The leader just doesn't want outsiders to interfere. The Wuji Sect is the sect. This matter is an internal matter of our sect after all. It's not good for others to know."
"If it's not good, don't use Aoshuang as a shield!" This person was very angry. "For several generations of our Lu family, Aoshuang was the most likely to become a god. Now that he is gone, isn't he really taking the opportunity to suppress him? ?!」
"This..." Manager Peng advised, "My eldest son, even if you have such an idea, don't say it outright. The third lady is gone, and the leader is more powerful after all. Besides, he has lost a fortune... "
"No amount of money can make up for our losses!" The man said with a groan. After a while, he finally calmed down and said, "Okay, I understand the matter. I will go there tomorrow."
Manager Peng breathed a sigh of relief and said a few nice words to him before leaving.
This person took out a Qiankun bag, stuffed it into Manager Peng's hand, and said angrily: "You have worked so hard over the years to speak well in front of the boss."
Manager Peng was in a very good mood and replied: "My subordinates are here today only because of the cultivation of the Lu family. That's what they deserve."
When he went out, before he realized that the door was not closed tightly, his eyes focused for a moment before continuing.
"Steward, please go slowly." The maid bowed to see him off.
The steward left the courtyard and walked among the pavilions.
When passing by the guest house, he paused for a moment, then shook his head and quickly walked away.
In the guest room, Bai Mengjin opened his eyes.
Ling Bufei, who was sleeping on the couch, immediately looked over and said, "How are you doing?"
"There is something wrong with Miss Lu's death." Bai Mengjin said softly, repeating the conversation he just heard.
Ling Bufei's face darkened: "This means that Miss Lu was sacrificed. I think they used Miss Lu to kill Leng Qiufeng, but the result was not satisfactory, so they simply framed Miss Lu's death on Leng Qiufeng."
Bai Mengjin nodded: "If Master Cui is right
If Leng Qiufeng was unfavorable, Miss Lu would definitely help Leng Qiufeng, and perhaps she lost her life in this way. "
She felt very sad. She thought she had saved Lu Aoshuang, but she still couldn't avoid this ending. Now I just hope that Leng Qiufeng can still control himself and not become completely possessed.
The next day, Bai Mengjin asked where Lu Aoshuang's tomb was and prepared to pay homage.
"Young Sect Master, Fairy Bai." The person the Lu family came to receive was none other than the eldest son, Lu Zaihua.
Different from the harshness revealed in his words last night, he was now gentle and elegant, full of aristocratic bearing.
Mentioning his sister, Lu Zaihua's eyes were slightly red and he said, "Aoshuang has extraordinary qualifications. Our Lu family has been cultivating her as the future head of the family. We hope that she can become a god in one fell swoop and bring glory to the family. Unexpectedly..."
Ling Bufei didn't expose it and followed his words: "Miss Lu is indeed a hero among women. If Qiu Lengfeng can control it, the two of them will become a couple of gods. What a pity!"
However, Lu Zaihua let out a hint of resentment: "That kid is a disaster! I don't know why Aoshuang fell in love with him! If it hadn't been for him, Aoshuang would be fine now!"
Perhaps it was with a hint of sincerity that Lu Zaihua said this with extra sincerity.
Then he realized that he had lost his composure and forced a smile: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said such words in front of distinguished guests. After Aoshuang's accident, we were hit hard... Please."
The two of them followed him into the Lu family's cemetery. As they walked, Ling Bufei agreed, "Young Master Lu feels sorry for his sister, and that's the right thing to do."
Not long after, the two arrived at a mountain wall.
The monks do not focus on matters after death, so the cemetery is extremely simple. Small square pits were cut out on one side of the mountain wall, in which were placed urns, with names engraved beside them.
Lu Aoshuang only left such a small jar and a cold name in her life.
Bai Mengjin lit incense for her and said silently in her heart: Miss Lu, I know you died unjustly, and I will try my best to find Leng Qiufeng so that you can die in peace.
After the worship was over, Bai Mengjin asked: "Master Lu, how did Miss Lu die? How could Leng Qiufeng be so cruel?"
Lu Zaihua's eyes turned red and he said: "Judging from the maid's testimony, he was the one who killed her. He wanted to ask Aoshuang to go with him, but Aoshuang refused, so he forced himself... It's really abominable! If I find him We must kill him as soon as he is traced!"
"What was Leng Qiufeng's state at that time? Was he possessed by a demon?"
Lu Zaihua nodded: "That's what the maid said. His demonic nature is so strong that he is crazy."
"That's strange." Bai Mengjin thought thoughtfully, "Since his demonic nature is so strong, why not kill the maids as well? He is not weak to begin with, but he will only become stronger when he becomes a demon, right?"
Lu Zaihua was stunned and stuck.
"Master Lu?" Ling Bufei stared at him, "What's wrong with you?"
Lu Zaihua came to his senses and said, "Maybe he ran away because we were almost there, right?"
