Fan Xing's family didn't know why.
"I have seen the skills of that sore-faced devil. When we exposed him in Muwei Palace and revealed that he was not Chang Ning, in front of Master Li, Master Ouyang, Master Chen, and the fake Qiu's many minions, he He can slip away easily. I think his cultivation must be quite deep."
Fan Xingjia's thoughts are more than "very deep".
"He was captured accidentally because he wanted to see that bitch... because he wanted to see Seventh Junior Sister."
Qi Lingbo said quietly, "I hope that my future husband, no matter how capable he is, will let me be the wife of the sect master, and he will know how to be cold and hot, and will be considerate and caring for me. Mother has already thought about it for me. After we get married, I will be with you." Second Senior Brother, we will go back to the Yin family’s hometown and settle there, where we can still be prosperous and not bad.”
Looking at Miss Qi's expression as if she had suddenly grown up, the Fan Xing family felt inexplicably sad.
Because she planned to return to her hometown to settle down, Mrs. Su Lian asked her daughter and future son-in-law to go back to their hometown before their marriage to pay homage to their ancestors and repair the Yin family's ancestral house. Zeng Building was worried and took Fan Xingjia and other sect disciples to send Dai and Qi's convoy for three days. If Qi Yunke had not left in a few days and needed Zeng Building to come back to take care of things, there was no way he would have sent them directly to their destination.
The familiar and regular sound of the iron rope twisting sounded on the top of the wind and cloud, and Zeng Tower staggered slightly when he stepped on the iron rope. Looking at his slightly stooped back, Fan Xingjia wanted to sigh for the third time. He knew that his senior brother loved Qi Lingbo, and he had already thought that when Qi Lingbo became the wife of the sect master, he would take care of the sect's affairs for her, but now he had to settle for the second best.
However, the Fan Xing family still feels that Zeng Mansion has been too silent recently. Even when dealing with general affairs, he often seems to be lost in thought for a long time, not knowing what he is thinking.
The two junior brothers walked to the back hall of Muwei Palace and learned that Master Cai Gu and his wife had just arrived and were talking in the room. Cai Zhao and Song Yuzhi were also there.
After Zeng Dalou reported the itinerary of Qi Lingbo and his party to Qi Yunke, he went out to prepare the travel arrangements for him. The Fan Xing family huddled in a corner of the house with great interest and waited to watch the show.
Ning Xiaofeng complained nonchalantly to Qi Yunke, "You know that Luoying Valley has ignored world affairs for more than ten years. What does the feud between Guangtian Clan and Siqi Clan have to do with us? Why does Brother Xiaochun have to go over and mediate... "
"Why would I come to you if I was just upset? Guangtianmen and Siqimen are about to come to blows." Qi Yunke is also involved in a lawsuit, "Now the orphan of the Huangsha Gang is suing Guangtianmen for using living people to refine corpses. Slave, I even killed everyone in the Huangsha Gang just to silence them!"
"What does this have to do with Yang Heying? When did he like to advocate justice so much?" Ning Xiaofeng pouted.
Cai Pingchun said gently: "I'm afraid the Huangsha Gang has some connection with the Shahu Gang of Mrs. Yang's natal family."
Qi Yunke praised: "Yes, the old leader of the Huangsha Gang who passed away was the father-in-law of the leader of the Sha Gang. Now Yang Heying keeps asking for an explanation! Poor, an entire village is gone. No matter who did it, we can't Ignore it.”
Song Yuzhi stood up and held his hands in his hands: "Master, Valley Master Cai, there is no way my father would do such evil deeds."
"I know, I know, you sit down." Qi Yunke waved his hand, "We have known each other for decades, and we all know what your father is like."
Ning Xiaofeng pursed her lips: "With just those few intestines from Song Shijun, the same flower girl can do the Immortal Dance three times in a row. How could she possibly be so sinister and sneaky?"
It was inappropriate to say such words in front of juniors, but neither Qi Yunke nor Cai Pingchun dared to blame Ning Xiaofeng, so they could only lower their heads and smile bitterly.
"It's so tricky, I don't know who did it." Song Yuzhi looked heavy.
Several people in the room looked at me and I looked at you. They all had the same thought in their minds, but they didn't say it out loud.
In the end, Cai Zhao said it thoughtfully, "Could it be the work of the Demon Cult?"
——The room suddenly became quiet as expected.
More than a year has passed since the turbulent incident at the end of summer last year. Zhou Zhizhen rushed back to Peiqiong Villa and refused to come out. Qi Yunke had several more gray hairs. Yin Sulian was completely addicted to Taoism. Master Li Wenxun became even more majestic. The uncle became more and more verbose, and Song Yuzhi became more and more cold and beautiful.
The sun rises and the moon sets, leaves wither and flowers bloom. Nothing remains the same, including Cai Zhao.
The girl's figure has grown much longer, her collarbones are as slender as a small bowl, and her waist is as plump as a bunch. She has been confined in the cave for more than a year without seeing the sun, and her skin is as radiant as jade, and her cheeks are as brittle as snow-white rice paper. A touch of blood appeared.
Fan Xing's family still remembers the first time they met. The little girl was beautiful, but she still had a childlike and naughty look. Her smile was round, round, and playful and cheerful. Today, she is like a piece of peerless jade that has finally been polished and polished. She is both fragile and tough, with layers of contradictions that make it difficult for people to see clearly.
Qi Yunke coughed lightly, breaking the awkwardness in the room: "Probably not, this happened a few months ago, and the Demon Sect has been fighting so hard for more than a year, so how can we care about this."
"That's it, that's great." Cai Zhao said.
Ning Xiaofeng had a dark face: "What's so good?!"
Cai Zhao smiled: "In this case, I don't have to worry about my parents and masters worrying about whether I am still worried about Mu Qingyan. It's really great."
Hearing that taboo name again, the room became quiet again.
"Okay, don't worry about this." Ning Xiaofeng got angry, and then became worried again, "It's not that I don't care about the lives of hundreds of innocent people, but once I get involved in this Jianghu matter, I won't be able to get away with it. .”
Qi Yunke comforted: "Don't worry, you just go to Guangtianmen to stabilize the situation. When I invite Master Fakong and Brother Zhou, I will have my own explanation, and you can just watch from the side."
Seeing the reluctance on Ning Xiaofeng's face, Song Yuzhi frowned: "Why didn't Master go to Guangtianmen to stabilize the situation and invite Master Cai Valley and Mrs. Ning to go and invite Master Fakong and Master Zhou? Wouldn't everyone be happy?" Obviously. Both Changchun Temple and Peiqiong Villa have a deep connection with Luoying Valley, so it would not be rude for Cai Pingchun and his wife to invite them.
This question raised Fan Xingjia's question, and he nodded: "Yes."
Cai Zhao explained in detail: "Because master is the head of the six sects, what should master do if Master Yang really comes up with some conclusive evidence? Is he really going to be selfless and attack your father, Master Song? My father It doesn't matter, Mom. Luoying Valley ranks last among the six sects. Even if Yang Heying has all the personal and material evidence, my parents don't have the authority to arbitrate. They just waste time by talking here and there. When Master Fakong and Uncle Zhou come over, there will be mediation. There’s room for that.”
"Wha, what?" Song Yuzhi was anxious, "What 'conclusive evidence'! Zhaozhao, you mean my father..."
"Third senior brother, don't worry." Cai Zhao said angrily, "The world is treacherous and ever-changing. These days, 'conclusive evidence' may not be true, but it just seems true. It's just my guess. If someone with that kind of temper like Master Yang doesn't have any 'evidence', he won't go to Guangtianmen to ask for an explanation in a big way."
The words clearly meant something, and even the Fan Xing family recognized it. Qi Yunke and Ning Xiaofeng could only pretend not to understand.
Song Yuzhi turned around: "Is that really true?"
Cai Pingchun said warmly, "Anyway, Zhao Zhaoniang and I will go and delay it first. If some people are present, things can always be turned around."
Cai Zhao sighed: "It's a pity that Uncle Zhou doesn't like to go out recently, otherwise Master wouldn't have to travel to two places."
Ning Xiaofeng glared: "It's not all because of you! You injured him in Taichu Temple and talked nonsense, which broke his heart. He has been frustrated for more than a year and used the excuse to recuperate. Ignore all matters in the arena!"
Cai Zhao immediately said sincerely that she could go to Peiqiong Villa to spend another year in front of the wall. She heard that Zhou Yuqi and Min Xinrou were getting married soon, so she happened to go for a wedding drink.
Ning Xiaofeng was so angry that her nose almost twisted: "Please calm down!"
Song Yuzhi hurriedly interceded, "Mrs. Ning, please calm down. Junior Sister Zhaozhao already knows her mistake. She has been severely punished by Master Li and has been confined in the Thought Stream for more than a year. There is no need to mention the past." Bar."
Cai Pingchun said with satisfaction: "Yu Zhi is still sensible. Alas, the days spent in confinement and thinking are so miserable. Thanks to your constant care, Zhao Zhao does not become sallow and thin, and looks like a human being."
Ning Xiaofeng also reluctantly said: "Well, I heard that you called all the chefs from Guangtianmen over and delivered delicious food to Siguo Stream every day. I would like to thank Zhaozhao."
In fact, the Cai couple originally disliked the eldest son of the year, Song Shijun, and naturally did not like the three cubs of the Song family. However, compared with their daughter's previous entanglement, Song Yuzhi was simply the best choice.
"Your master and your uncle Zhou loved you so much when you were young, but you seriously injured them and made them sick. Are you feeling sorry?" Ning Xiaofeng said sincerely, "The previous matter has been settled. Zhaozhao should take care of himself and don't do it again in the future. It caused trouble.”
"Mother, the thing I provoked has a serious scientific name, it's called 'Peach Blossom Barrier'." Cai Zhao said leisurely, "Mother, you have to think on the bright side, I didn't provoke Peach Blossom Barrier because of cats and dogs, Mu Qingyan is also a well-known figure. .”
"So parents and master can rest assured that I will never make such a mistake again. Even if I still want to make trouble, where can I find a demon sect leader, right?"
The room fell into speechless silence again.
"...How about we set off to Guangtianmen today." Cai Pingchun turned to look at his wife.
Qi Yunke was a little dumbfounded: "Huh? You have just arrived. Why don't you stay for two days before leaving?"
Ning Xiaofeng sighed: "Let's go quickly before our luggage is unpacked, so as not to get mad at this damn girl."
She couldn't help but quarrel with each other, "Let me tell you, your Qingque Sect is just thinking about it. Why has this damn girl not only failed to make any progress in more than a year, but she has also learned to be yin and yang?"
Qi Yunke giggled awkwardly, "After Ling Bo's marriage is over, I will ask Zhao Zhao to accompany you to live with Mrs. Ning for a while. Then you will teach her well."
Fan Xingjia turned to see Song Yuzhi's reaction.
I saw my third senior brother looking out the window intently, pretending not to hear anything.
Five or six days after Cai and his wife left, Qi Yunke gave all instructions and was about to set off.
Before leaving, Qi Yunke carefully warned Cai Zhao, "Zhao Zhao, don't blame your parents. They are scared, for fear that you will end up like your aunt. I know you are not happy that we brought you and Yu together." In other words, alas, don’t act out of emotion in everything, Yu Zhi has a good character, and now he is willing to learn to care about others, and you will know his benefits in the future."
Cai Zhao listened quietly, and finally asked: "Master, you actually blame Uncle Zhou a little, don't you?"
Qi Yunke touched his beard and said nothing.
Cai Zhao added: "Uncle Zhou was injured, and I was angry to death. He has been sick and recuperating for more than a year. Master, you are so kind and kind, but you have never visited him. You didn't go to visit him until now when something happened." Qiongshan Villa..."
Qi Yunke sighed and looked at the rays of light on the distant mountain top in a daze: "Over the years, I have often wondered, if Zhou Zhizhen had been more responsible and treated your aunt better, your aunt would not be in trouble. That thief Mu Zhengyang has been fooled. A good woman like your aunt should be paired with a young hero who comes from a famous family and is very famous."
It took him a long while to wake up and shook his head repeatedly, "I am being intolerant. This is unfair to Brother Zhou, unfair..."
After watching Qi Yunke and Cai's couple disappear on the downhill slope of Fengyunding, Zeng Tower asked the disciples to disperse.
Song Yuzhi suppressed his smile, pulled Cai Zhao's sleeve and pursed his lips to the side. Cai Zhao pretended not to understand, and Song Yuzhi simply pulled her arm and walked away, ignoring the laughter of the disciples behind him.
"What's the matter with you?" The two of them came to a remote corner. "You have been depressed this past year. Until the first two months, you could not say a word for a whole day. Why are you suddenly talking about love in the past few days?" Laughed?!"
"Song Shaoxia, can you please speak some truth? I was thinking about my mistakes before, and I shouldn't have spoken in the first place!" Cai Zhao adjusted his sleeves, "But you just rely on Master to open and close your eyes, and sneak away every three days. Come to Siguojian to 'unravel' me. Who wants you to untie me? Why do I need you to untie me when I can't figure it out!"
Song Yuzhi said with a dark face: "Then you took all the things I sent!" - It's not that only a woman who is interested in her heart will accept a man's things, it's all a lie!
"I just don't want to talk. It's not like I won't become a god if I don't eat or drink. No one can wrong his heart, liver, spleen, and lungs."
Song Yuzhi stared at the girl for a moment, then said slowly: "You still think Mu Qingyan is innocent. There is indeed a traitor hidden among the six sects, and it was the traitor who killed Guanzhu Wang."
Cai Zhao raised his eyes, his eyes clear in black and white, "I never doubted it. What, are you going to file a complaint?"
Song Yu was speechless for a moment.
"I know, Third Senior Brother, you are doubtful about this matter." Cai Zhaodao, "Actually, I have a busy Third Senior Brother to help me. Before that, you and I had better have a talk and make things clear - Third Senior Brother You know Lu Fengchun, right?"
"I know." Song Yuzhi said, "He is one of the seven elders of the Demon Sect, but he is far from the elders who fought to the death with Beichen twenty years ago. A few days ago, you suddenly requested to enter the library. , just to find out the details of this person." - He personally compiled every volume in the Muwei Palace Library, and he knew everything the girl had read.
Cai Zhao sighed: "It wasn't just a few days ago. In fact, I have wanted to enter the Library Pavilion for a long time. Wasn't it that I had been locked up in Siguo Stream and was only released a while ago?"
She said, "Lü Fengchun is a person who is hesitant and fearful, but he is also full of scheming. He does not have the virtue to be a loyal minister, and he is not courageous enough to be a traitor. When Nie Hengcheng was alive, he could only hide in a corner. Later, when Nie Zhe came to power, he was afraid The disciples and forces left behind by Nie Hengcheng still dare not act rashly. For such a person, why do you think Third Senior Brother decided to rebel in just a few days?"
Yellow dry leaves gently floated down from the gradually bald branches. Cai Zhao squatted down, picked up the withered yellow leaves and placed them in the palm of Xiao Baibai, "The elders said that the 'man behind the scenes' was Mu Qing. Yan made it up, but it was Lu Fengchun's rebellion that convinced me that there was indeed an insider among the six factions."
"Speak carefully." Song Yuzhi looked solemn.
Cai Zhaodao: "First of all, Lu Fengchun was defeated and died, so the rebellion was definitely not a show between him and Mu Qingyan, right?"
Song Yuzhi couldn't help but laugh: "His Lu family is dead in pieces, how can anyone act like this?"
Cai Zhao continued: "Since it is a real rebellion, then what is the reason that a thousand-year-old turtle suddenly made up his mind?"
She opened her palms and let the dead leaves blow away in the wind. "There must be something that made the old turtle sure that he could succeed, so he dared to do it."
Song Yuzhi thought and blurted out: "Someone informed him that Mu Qingyan was captured!"
"That's right." Cai Zhaodao, "We need to make Lu Fengchun believe that Mu Qingyan really fell into the trap, instead of pretending to be captured. The person who reported the news must be very trusted by Old Ougui, and even let Old Ougui's confidants see it with their own eyes. Mu Qingyan looks like he's behind bars, so the old turtle dares to take action with confidence."
Song Yuzhi walked back and forth on the spot, feeling confused.
He was most aware of the conditions in which Mu Qingyan was imprisoned after he was captured more than a year ago. There were really three layers of guards inside and three layers outside, and the surrounding area was like an iron barrel. If it weren't for his constant guard, Li Yuanmin would have led the crowd to kill Mu Qingyan long ago. If Cai Zhao hadn't made a sudden move without warning in the end, Mu Qingyan would have been eliminated.
Song Yuzhi stopped, raised his head and said in a deep voice, "Why didn't you tell Master and your father-in-law about this?"
Cai Zhao smiled and said, "Even I can think of things, how can they not think of it? It's just that there is no real evidence, just relying on inference, they would rather believe that the demon sect has some sneaky tricks. In fact, including you, after listening to these words , I still can’t completely believe it. It doesn’t matter, if you don’t believe it, don’t believe it, as long as you are willing to help me.”
Song Yuzhi asked curiously: "You determined that there must be a traitor among the six sects, but you didn't doubt me, and you told me everything?"
Cai Zhao smiled: "I don't doubt you, or even Sect Master Song, because I have explored your meridians, and it is true that your injuries caused by the cold air of the Netherworld have not healed, and you must use the Purple Jade Golden Sunflower to heal them. .”
"However, the Purple Jade Golden Sunflower has disappeared from the world for so many years, and the last time I saw it was when I was a child. What if my aunt later destroyed it, or threw it into the ocean and never found it again? Then what is your cultivation level, Third Senior Brother? That's it. Neither you nor your father will take such a big danger."
Song Yuzhi felt a little bitter in his heart, thinking that if you believe that Mu Qingyan will never look back, believe that I will make many judgments and guesses.
He thought for a while and said: "When they deliberately used the cold energy of the netherworld to hurt me, they also wanted to use my hand to find the purple jade golden sunflower?" - Otherwise, for no reason, how can they say they are looking for a so-called 'useless' item? Demonic treasure.
