If it were an outsider, I am afraid that after deceiving some small details, the most you would see from Jiang Qi's face is a little hollow.
After all, this is an old man, and no matter how strong his mood is, it probably won't show in his body language.
But Xu Xiaoshou was different.
He only glanced at the information bar and saw the crazy pop-up windows "under suspicion" and "under speculation", and he knew it.
Yes, the action just now was done on purpose.
Xu Xiaoshou was not really acquainted with the Eight Lords, so how could he not know that Jiang Xian's goal was not Tears for Two Lines, but Mu Zixi?
Therefore, everything he did not only responded to Jiang Xian's words openly, but also secretly used a subtle psychological action to hit Jiang Qi from the side and make him question his own thinking.
So, in this case, is it necessary to continue bombing?
No need!
After all, too much is never enough.
Xu Xiaoshou didn't even look at Jiang Qi. He had indeed been targeting this person all along and never took Jiang Xian seriously.
But the confrontation between masters always happens inadvertently.
The destructive intensity of this kind of attack is sometimes the greatest.
"What does the woman you are talking about look like?" Xu Xiaoshou asked as usual, as if all the secret confrontations just now had never happened.
Jiang Xian hadn't noticed anything yet, and he wanted to divert the Eighth Sword Immortal's attention away from himself, so he responded immediately.
"It can't be said that she is a woman. She should be a little girl with twin ponytails and green clothes. She is a person on the first floor in the sky."
After a pause, he was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, and then said: "Moreover, when Mr. Xu went up to the first floor that day, there was also a ghost beast accompanying him!"
If there is anything in this world that can attract the attention of important people immediately, it is definitely the ghost beast.
Jiang Xian is not stupid, he is just a little slow in recovering his mentality.
At this time, he was able to figure out a little bit of the Eighth Sword Immortal's thoughts from several conversations.
What the other party wants may only be information, not human lives.
In this case, being frightened will only make your performance more unstable.
So after saying the counterattack, Jiang Xian immediately raised his eyes.
Sure enough, at this time, he could already see the first fluctuation in the eighth sword immortal's cloudy eyes.
"Ghost beast? Interesting..." Xu Xiaoshou muttered.
Jiang Xian became confused.
According to Jiang Qi's inference, isn't it the Holy Slave who controls the first floor in the sky behind the scenes?
But looking at the other party's performance...
"Wrong inference?"
Jiang Xian glanced back and saw Jiang Qi with his head lowered, wondering what he was thinking about.
He had no idea what he had secretly said just now. All he could do at this moment was just look back without conclusion, then look at the Eighth Sword Immortal, waiting for what to say.
How could Xu Xiaoshou be successfully changed the subject by this little brat?
He only echoed the other person's words, thought for a moment, then stretched out his hand and said: "Where is the 'Eye of Heaven's Knowledge' you mentioned?"
Jiang Xian was startled.
Jiang Qi behind him also raised his head.
The two of them never expected that the Eighth Sword Immortal's way of grasping key points would still be so precise.
After going around for a long time, I dare to say that the other party didn't go astray at all!
Jiang Xian hesitated for a moment, then spoke with difficulty: "To be honest, the 'Eye of Heaven's Knowledge' is the most precious treasure of my Jiang family, and I must never give it to..."
Xu Xiaoshou's outstretched hand didn't move, but at this moment his eyes fell directly on Jiang Xian's eyes.
His expression was still so calm, and he didn't even say a word.
Jiang Xian lost his temper.
No matter how stupid they are, the Jiang family can completely understand the eyes of the Eighth Sword Immortal at this time: "Either the 'eyes of heaven's knowledge' or the 'three disgusting pupils', your choice."
Jiang Xian was about to cry.
He really has never been so aggrieved in his life.
Why is Tangtang, a super leader of the past, always making things difficult for a junior like him, Jiang Xian?
But no matter how wronged he was at this time, Jiang Xian had to hold back and say: "The 'Eye of Heaven's Knowledge' is too mysterious, even I can't control it. It is now on my guard Jiang Lan, and Jiang Lan is not in the manor at the moment. , performing tasks outside..."
"Tsk!" Xu Xiaoshou sneered softly.
Jiang Xian panicked: "Senior, I am telling the truth. The 'Eye of Heaven's Knowledge' really does not exist on me. Even if you kill me, you won't get it... eh."
In the middle of speaking, Jiang Xian suddenly stopped.
Yes, if you kill yourself, the Eighth Sword Immortal will not get the "Eye of Heaven's Knowledge", but he will get the "Three Eyes of Disgust".
"I-I'll call him over now..."
Jiang Xian was frustrated and picked up the communication bead.
Xu Xiaoshou said nothing, silently waiting for the other party to finish the call, and then watched Jiang Xian put away the communication bead.
"Tell me, what happened to the ghost beast?"
After everything was done, Xu Xiaoshou took back his hand and continued to play with the teacup on the table. He was a little curious whether Jiang Xian saw Xin Gugu or Mo Mo.
Sanyantongmu, does he still have such ability?
"It was my friend who saw it, not the 'three disgusted pupils'."
Jiang Xian knew what the other party was thinking. He could never bear the blame at this time. He explained:
"Rong Dahao, a disciple of the Taixu family and a contemporary descendant of the negative clan, has been fawning over me during this time, but he doesn't have any special ability to see ghosts and beasts."
"But I happened to have seen the transformation of the ghost beast, so I recognized the true face of the woman on the first floor of the sky."
Jiang Xian apologized.
But the dead Taoist friend is not the poor Taoist. If the Eighth Sword Immortal's attention can really be attracted by Rong Dahao at this time, Jiang Xian will definitely burn incense for that guy and guarantee that the Rong family will be rich for a hundred years!
It's Mo Mo... Xu Xiaoshou already understood after listening to Jiang Xian's words.
Damn it, this was recognized by an acquaintance.
Back then, after half a month of walking from the White Cave, Xu Xiaoshou had specifically told everyone to change their appearance.
But after all, the people around him have not "changed". Sometimes, it is indeed easy for sharp-eyed people to see it.
besides……
The bodies of ghost beasts travel across the continent, and they have a very important symbol!
Xu Xiaoshou guessed that if Rong Dahao could really recognize Mo Mo, he had either seen through the disguise technique or noticed Mo Mo's artifact, the small copper stove.
It’s hard to guard against it!
With emotion in his heart, Xu Xiaoshou remained calm on his face, shaking his head and saying: "You betrayed your friends very quickly."
"I..." Jiang Xian choked for a moment and managed to explain, "I have only known him for a few days, so he is not even a friend."
Xu Xiaoshou is in charge of whether his friends are friends or not.
In his opinion, the Eighth Sword Immortal was indeed a person who was attracted by things about ghosts and beasts, and he was silent for a while.
On the surface, he was thinking.
In fact, Xu Xiaoshou was really just silent for a moment. He had to put on a show and carve all these actions into Jiang Qi's heart.
After a few breaths, he ended the state, put down the tea cup, stood up, glanced at Jiang Qi and said, "I don't care about the grudge between you and the first floor that day, nor do I care about the process of you figuring each other out."
"But I like the results."
Xu Xiaoshou stared at Jiang Qi: "You are right about one thing. I am indeed playing chess, but if another team of people suddenly appears in the chess game, even if it is different, as long as it interferes with my plan, it will be clear. .”
Jiang Qi's heart trembled.
The Eighth Sword Immortal’s words were an exhortation.
She indeed thought of sending a message back to the clan at first, asking them to support the mission of Dongtianwang City.
But now it seems that the idea may be good, but the water in Dongtianwang City is too muddy.
Once you make a wrong move, you may inexplicably break into these life-or-death layouts, and you won't be able to escape even if you want to.
Jiang Qi is very lucky that she is in the Puxuan Jiang family in the Northern Territory.
An outsider, probably based on the temper of the Eighth Sword Immortal, would not even mention such a sentence.
And the Semi-Saint Family...
Jiang Qi glanced at Mr. Jiang. Maybe the two of them could survive because of this background!
"As for you..."
Xu Xiaoshou looked at Jiang Xian again and said with neither joy nor sadness: "You can just stay here obediently until I finish my work. Although I don't want to kill anyone, if it is found out that the 'Three Tired Eyes' are not The things belonging to your clan are left behind by the Lei family..."
"The sky is so big and the earth is so big, there will be no place for you!"
When Jiang Xian heard this, he immediately became cold and the hair on his body suddenly started to break out.
"Senior, don't worry, I will definitely not lie about this kind of thing." He immediately vowed.
Xu Xiaoshou looked away and didn't reply. He waved his hand and looked out the door.
"Tell him to come in."
"Jiang Lan!" Jiang Xian shouted immediately.
The door was pushed open, and another throne appeared outside.
The Jiang Manor was indeed emptied out just by Xu Xiaoshou's words.
Even the servants are like this, just for fear that some unsighted person will accidentally break into this place and offend the legendary Eighth Sword Immortal.
Now, in this huge manor, the only one who dares to enter is Jiang Lan outside the door.
"The eye of heaven." Jiang Xian said nothing nonsense.
Jiang Lan even took out the "Pearl of Heaven's Knowledge" without saying a word.
He didn't even dare to glance at the masked man in the deepest part of the room. He just glanced at Jiang Qi when he handed the "Heaven's Knowledge Bead" to Young Master Jiang.
Jiang Qi shook his head slightly, pursed his red lips and said nothing.
"Young Master Jiang, shall I step back?"
"Um."
The door clicked again, and Jiang Lan seemed to have never appeared at all, and the scene returned to silence.
"senior."
Jiang Xian presented the "Pearl of Heaven's Knowledge" with both hands.
Even though I feel reluctant to give up, even though this is Jiang's most precious treasure, at this moment, being able to exchange my treasure for my life is already a blessing among misfortunes.
Perhaps some people who have specifically investigated the power of the Saint Slaves also know that among the Saint Slaves, there is a person named Tears Shuangxing.
They probably don't dare to echo this "tears" with that "tears".
But……
Not only do these people not know that this "tears" are really the other "tears", there is no doubt that the leader of the Saint Slave is really the Eighth Sword Immortal.
What is even more unthinkable and daring to think about is that the rumored Eighth Sword Immortal is actually inextricably linked to the fallen Lei family.
A "Pearl of Heaven's Knowledge" in exchange for such important information.
For Jiang, this is not a loss.
This reason was also the reason why Jiang Qi did not say anything to stop Young Master Jiang from moving.
Xu Xiaoshou waved and took the "Heaven's Knowledge Bead".
This is a crystal ball the size of a fist. Thick white mist is shrouded inside, and a milky-white eyeball is wrapped around it. The eyeball is motionless at this time.
He put it into the ring unceremoniously, and Xu Xiaoshou didn't ask any questions.
After all, regarding the "Pearl of Heaven's Knowledge", "Eye of Heaven's Knowledge" and, in his impression, the "Eye of Unknown" that Lorelei once mentioned, the relationship between the major disciples of the Tears, I believe that if he asks now, he will definitely be able to Get the answers you want.
But he is now the Eighth Sword Immortal.
People can be ignorant of some things, but they cannot show it to outsiders in such a stupid way.
That would really lose your identity.
"Remember what I said today, wait in this room until I investigate clearly."
Xu Xiaoshou said, and his figure began to blur.
His eyes slid from Jiang Qi to Jiang Xian's eyes, staring straight at him, his body becoming disillusioned little by little.
"in addition……"
At this moment, he seemed to remember something. While his body was disintegrating in a way that even Heaven could not see, the lingering sound echoed around him.
"I will protect Yu Gu from the Lei family."
"You can spread this word, I, the Eight Masters, said it well."
…
"Boom!"
When the echo finally disappeared completely in the room, Jiang Xian slammed his butt onto the chair.
Only then did he realize that his clothes had been completely soaked with sweat, and even his hair looked like it had just been washed and scrubbed. Some of it was still stained with water and stuck to his scalp, without any appearance at all.
"Leaving?" Jiang Xian said in confusion.
"Let's go." Jiang Qi stood up, pushed the chair back to its original position, and after scanning the house, he immediately sent a message to Jiang Si, asking people to come back quickly.
"How could the Eighth Sword Immortal find me?" Jiang Xian said dreamily, still scared.
Jiang Qi replied: "Because the person we are targeting may not be Lei Shuangxing, but also an orphan of the Lei family, and according to the tone of the Eighth Sword Immortal's words, even if there is a slightest hope, he will save the person."
"But……"
Jiang Xian was puzzled.
"But judging from the performance of the Eighth Sword Immortal, he is not the mastermind behind the first floor of the sky. Since he is not the mastermind behind the scenes, he must not know the person around him named Xu."
"The reason why he spoke was because of the tears, and the tears are blind. So, a blind person can also sense my 'three disgusting eyes'?"
As the saying goes, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.
Jiang Qi suddenly realized something from Jiang Xian's words. There seemed to be some flaws in this huge closed loop of speech?
The Eighth Sword Immortal came for the sake of tears, but only took away the "Eye of Heaven's Knowledge".
Before his matter is accomplished, the Jiang family will be banned from touching another suspected "Lei Family Yugu" on the first floor of the sky.
Everything sounds like the Eighth Sword Immortal is really not the mastermind behind the First Floor in the Sky.
But the other party is always protecting the first floor in the sky, intentionally or unintentionally.
Perhaps even the Eighth Sword Immortal himself was not aware of this detail, but Jiang Qi was different. After recalling all the exchanges just now in her mind, she felt a little moved.
"It's not mentioned on the surface, but his concern for the first floor of the sky is there."
"If we really want to investigate the first floor of the sky, with the ability of the Holy Slave, wouldn't it only take a matter of minutes? Why do we have to wait?"
"Also, the leader of the Saint Slave, is it necessary to be so caring about such an insignificant little organization?"
