"Okay, tell me what Shen An said to you?" Luan Jing asked.
"Shen An was dying, and the junior saved him, and then sent a man to take him out of the medicine shop. Without knowing what happened next, Shen An paid the few spiritual stones he had as medicine, saying that he would make up for it in the future, without leaving any other words. "Xue Tong said truthfully.
"Humph, Shen An was lying in the yard for no reason, and you didn't ask anything. Who would believe it?"
"How dare you deceive me?!" Luan Jing raised her eyebrows and shouted intimidatingly.
Her spiritual pressure in the later stage of the day after tomorrow was released, and the black-clothed guard not far from Xue Tong couldn't help being slightly shocked, and his face turned pale.
Xue Tong frowned. With his cultivation, he was not afraid of such spiritual pressure, but he should not show too much force. There was still an expression of discomfort on his face.
"That's the truth. This junior doesn't want to know where gangsters like Shen An come from and what they do. The more they know, the more trouble they will have."
"I didn't expect that I didn't know anything, and the troubles kept coming."
Luan Jing assessed Xue Tong's appearance and felt that Xue Tong was not lying.
She was thinking about how to continue the cross-examination when Xue Tong took the initiative and said: "I heard that Shen An had a drink with her and everyone else died except Ma Wanquan and Huang Jun."
"What else have you heard?"
"That's all. May I ask what the immortal envoy did to hold on to Shen An?" Xue Tong felt that Shen An's affairs were endless and very annoying.
"You don't need to know. You don't want to say that I will be detained for two days first. Think about it carefully before you talk."
Luan Jing clarified her thoughts and was about to take action when she was startled by Xue Tong's words.
"Probably because of Guan Muqing, I know her." Xue Tong was annoyed by Que Xiangong's domineering style, but now was not the time to take action.
He would never kill someone with the black lacquer knife, and he would suffer the consequences of taking possession of the treasure.
"What? You know Guan Muqing!" Luan Jing's expression suddenly changed and she said sternly.
Then there was a whistle.
The door and window of the side room burst open, and four women in black flew out and surrounded Xue Tong.
Xue Tong screamed: "Oh my god, what's wrong with knowing Guan Muqing? Damn it."
"The last time I met Huang Jun, it happened that Guan Muqing was also there. Is this a trivial matter for you?"
"What's going on? Tell me quickly and I'll spare your life!" Luan Jing suppressed her irritability and warned.
"Not only do I know Guan Muqing, but I also know that her mother was seriously ill four years ago and Guan Muqing went to Hongzhou to collect medicine." Xue Tong had no choice but to explain without saying that it seemed impossible.
"Oh" Luan Jing's eyes lit up and she asked, "Jiaojiao, is this the case?"
Li Jiaojiao, who had brought Xue Tong here before, hesitated for a moment, "Jiaojiao investigated some things about Senior Sister Guan, but I haven't heard that she has been to Hongzhou."
"How dare you fool me, little bastard!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xue Tong hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, if you don't believe me, you must know this thing."
A sapphire porcelain vase flew out of Xue Tong's sleeve, which was the ink vase given by Guan Muqing in the past.
Luan Jing took the jade bottle and looked at it. The bottom of the bottle was engraved with the word "mu".
"Oh" Luan Jing suddenly became excited. She had been in Khotan for more than half a year and had failed to arrest Huang Jun. Yang Shijie obviously knew Guan Muqing, and was much more valuable than Shen An who didn't know anything about it.
Her subtle changes in tone and expression could not escape Xue Tong's eyes, and the title of Senior Sister Li Jiaojiao Guan made Xue Tong calm down even more.
"Master Immortal Envoy, can you tell me the whole story now?" Xue Tong asked while the iron was hot.
"First tell me the origin of the ink bottle."
Xue Tong was helpless and briefly recounted the past events.
"So you and Guan Muqing are friends?"
"Probably a little."
"Okay, let's go into the house and talk."
…
"Since Fellow Daoist Yang is destined to the Immortal Palace, I won't beat around the bush."
"Guan Muqing was born to the maid Guan Xinyao of the Immortal Palace. Guan Xinyao was deceived by the old thief Song Changjie. At that time, the thief Song already had a family but committed a serious crime. According to the law, he should be killed. Unfortunately, junior sister Xinyao vowed to die for her love, so the palace master was particularly merciful. , promised that if the Song thief quits Zhanxing Pavilion, divorces his first wife, and the Ming matchmaker marries Hong Xinyao, he will not be held accountable."
"The Song thief refused and huddled in the Xingmang Mountain. Guan Xinyao was eventually expelled from the Immortal Palace and lived among the people."
"The storm has subsided, the whereabouts of the Guan mother and daughter are unknown, Song Changjie has lost his voice, and all parties have lived in peace and harmony for more than ten years."
"Senior Sister Ning happened to pass by Qingliu Town a year ago and saw a young woman with a strange physique. She seemed to be born with some kind of special martial arts, the so-called 'Xuan Yin Evil Body', which is the best match for my holy scripture "Yin Ming Martial Sutra" Cultivation of pulse body."
"That woman is Guan Muqing. Senior Sister Ning's discovery has made things more complicated and out of control."
"Guan Xinyao was the most favored disciple of the palace master back then, and he would always take him with him whenever he went out. Guan Xinyao has special martial arts, and has excellent dark and ice attributes. Who would have thought that his daughter Guan Muqing would go one step further and become a Xuanyin evil body!"
Xue Tongxin said: "Xuanyin evil body? It seems to be mentioned in the walking strange news record that the understanding and matching of dark ice attributes are excellent. It is similar to the Five Elements Vein, the Divine Flying Vein, the Light Holy Body, and the Dark Demon Body. They are all special physiques. Some Taoist sects are particularly superstitious about pulse conditions, and the selection of disciples is mainly based on the quality of martial arts and matching, but the Yunxiao Sect is not so particular. They focus on the speed of mana cultivation, and only talk about the understanding and matching of attributes after practicing to a high level."
Luan Jing continued: "The palace master was overjoyed when he found out. He sent people to Qingliu overnight to persuade the Guan family mother and daughter to return to the mountain, promising not to take any blame for the past. Unexpectedly, Guan Xinyao was too resentful and refused to accept her resignation. The palace master was furious. Send someone to capture the two of them and bring them back to the palace."
"Guan Xinyao proposed that she could return, but the pursuit of Song Changjie needed to be withdrawn. How could the palace owner not allow her to bargain, and imprisoned her for self-reflection? She made a great wish to Guan Muqing. If she entered the Immortal Palace, she would be immediately promoted to a guard of the Immortal Palace, and she would have a bright future. If it is completed, priority will be given to passing it on to the great leader."
"Guan Muqing has a strong character and will never obey. She just wants to take her mother back to Qingliu Town. She doesn't want to have anything to do with the Immortal Palace in this life."
"The palace master left some leeway when arresting people and let the old slave Huang Jun of the Guan family go. The old thief did not want to repent and moved around in an attempt to save people."
"Immortal Palace has discovered that Huang Jun came to Tianfeng to contact Song Changjie's junior brother Ma Wanquan with evil intentions. I am here to arrest the old thief Huang."
"The two sides have been in a stalemate so far. Guan Muqing has lived with her mother since she was a child, avoiding trouble and having little contact with others. She has a stubborn personality and cannot listen to advice."
"You are one of the rare outsiders who has ever had contact with her. She seems to be not ordinary to you. It might be useful for you to come forward. I would like to ask fellow Taoist Yang to go to Linxian Mountain to persuade Mu Qing." Luan Jing finally said.
Xue Tong laughed, "To put it bluntly, these are the family affairs of the Immortal Palace, why should I get involved? There is no need to interfere."
"Having said that, Guan Muqing is an acquaintance of yours after all. It doesn't matter if you try to persuade her if it's beneficial to her. Besides, it won't take much effort."
"Guan Muqing is willing to obey the arrangements of the Immortal Palace, which will benefit everyone and herself. This child is too stubborn."
Luan Jing's tone was gentle, without the high-pitched and overbearing tone before.
"It's your palace's idea to capture Shen An, right? The casual cultivators in Tianfeng and even the Guan Dai of Zhanxing Pavilion are very busy with this. If I succeed in persuading Guan Muqing, how many benefits will there be?" Xue Tong said clearly.
"Well, that's easy to say."
"Master Immortal Envoy, I only want one thing, and I will give you any one of the heavenly elixir Tianpei Fruit, Purple Lin Grass, Explosive Flame Flower, and Phoenix Vine."
Xue Tong knows very well that strength in the world of immortality determines everything. He has sufficient resources and no longer needs to worry about the martial arts spirit stones. The only headache is the acquired warrior level in a few years.
"Oh, so you already have the other three herbs. As a casual cultivator, it will be difficult for you to refine the Tiancheng Pill." Luan Jing said in surprise.
"No, so I took the opportunity to ask for a reward from the Immortal Envoy." Xue Tong was not worried about Luan Jing. Currently, Que Immortal Palace had something to ask of him, and he would not mess around until the matter was accomplished.
"Okay, I am an immortal envoy, so I can still get some elixir."
"Then it's settled. Since I'm going to see Guan Muqing, I need to prepare for two days. Lord Immortal Envoy, please rest assured that Yang will never escape."
…
Linxianshan, Miaoxiaofeng half-mountain pavilion.
Surrounded by green bamboos and lush vegetation.
Guan Muqing was dressed in a red dress. She had not been seen for several years, and she looked even more beautiful and attractive. Her beauty and beauty made her look radiant.
She sighed softly and said with emotion: "Who did I think it was? It turns out to be Mr. Xue."
Xue Tong had returned to his true self at this time. When Luan Jing brought him here, his surprised expression disappeared briefly without any other expression.
"Yeah, I didn't expect us to meet here."
"Master, how have you been these past few years?"
"The horse tiger" Xue Tong paused, "I probably heard about the lady's business. According to me, the lady still put down her grievances and entered the Immortal Palace.
"Oh, you are the lobbyist. I don't want to have anything to do with the Immortal Palace anymore. My mother's hard work and depression these years are all thanks to the Immortal Palace. I just want to be an ordinary person and paint landscapes."
"Miss Guan, you are wrong. Since you have entered the martial arts, as a warrior, you should work hard to practice. This is especially true for you."
"Why?"
"You have very good bones. As long as you improve your cultivation, you will become the master of the palace one day. Whether it is your father's family or others, how to deal with it is not a matter of words."
"Palace Master? I haven't thought about it. Besides, the Palace Master may be suffering even more. I don't dare to think about it and it's not suitable for me." Guan Muqing said sadly.
"It doesn't matter if it's happy or not, at least it can solve the problem. At worst, we'll step aside after solving it." Xue Tong made a face.
"Being the palace master may be too beautiful. I suggest you be patient for the time being and use the resources of the fairy palace to improve your cultivation."
"I'm not trying to trick you into being ungrateful. I'm trying to persuade you to follow the trend."
Guan Muqing has a simple mind, unlike Xue Tong, the young head of the family. After going through ups and downs, she was inspired by Xue Tong and her mind began to relax.
"I will think about it."
"Where is Mr. Xue, what are your plans?" Guan Muqing's cheeks turned red and she looked coy.
"I'm going to wander around and come back to you when Miss Guan becomes an envoy. We will definitely meet again. I have something to give you."
A short and delicate dark red dagger, with a purple jade sheath and the word "Xue" engraved on the handle.
The dagger was purchased by Xue Tong in Tianfeng and was engraved as a gift.
Guan Muqing's face was flushed, "Ah, a middle-grade magical weapon. This is too valuable. Master, please keep it for your own use."
"I still have it, just take it."
"Xue has something else to ask for. I would like to ask Miss for a favor."
When Xue Tong said this, a feeling of guilt arose in his heart. Was he taking advantage of Guan Muqing's innocence and goodwill for personal gain?
