"This Zhuo Ruting is quite tight-lipped and has not forgotten my previous instructions." Mo Juren thought to himself.
In fact, he already knew the general outline of these things, but he was not clear on some details. As Fan Jingmei continued to tell, he gradually understood what was going on.
When Wang Ying first obtained the Thunder Bamboo, she really planned to cultivate it carefully. However, how can it be that simple that this bamboo can be called one of the three sacred trees in the spiritual world?
The difficulty of cultivating it is beyond imagination.
Originally this bamboo belonged to a small declining sect. Unfortunately, the method of cultivating it had been lost long ago, causing the bamboo to shrink day by day and risk dying. This gave the Miaoyin Sect a chance.
For more than 20 years, Wang Ying spent countless efforts, but still could not see any improvement.
In desperation, she had no choice but to give up her original idea and planned to take advantage of the bamboo. Firstly, it can be exchanged for required resources, and secondly, it can avoid risks.
After all, it is one of the three sacred trees and has a strong allure to many forces. Especially for some big factions, there may be ways to continue cultivating them.
For some big sects with a long tradition, time is not a problem at all, at best it is just a matter of several generations. That Heavenly Thunder Bamboo was originally thousands of years old, and it would take another few thousand years to obtain a true Ten Thousand Years Golden Thunder Bamboo. By then, its value would rise to an incalculable height.
It would be a bit hot to keep such a treasure, especially if you can't cultivate it at all, it is not worth taking such a risk.
After some weighing, Wang Ying made the decision to get rid of him. She didn't delay and immediately made a plan.
Coincidentally, in two months' time, Miaoyin Sect will transport a batch of resources to Miaoyin Pavilion in Tianxing City in accordance with its usual practice in order to maintain normal business activities.
The difference is that the resources transported this time are relatively large, and some of them are extremely precious. The sect has accumulated them for many years and plans to participate in the auction.
And this Thunder Bamboo can be added to many auction items.
Miaoyin Sect attaches great importance to this, and Wang Ying even decided to escort him personally, and at the same time let the two elders of the guest ministers and the left and right envoys accompany him, so as to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
This is nothing, just normal business behavior.
However, at that time, Fan Jingmei suddenly remembered an old incident.
About a year ago, by chance, she discovered something strange. An elder in the sect named Zhao once secretly left the sect's headquarters and went to a city within the demonic influence, where he secretly met an old man in gray robes.
Coincidentally, she happened to be working in that market at that time and happened to witness this scene.
Although it was not clear what the two parties were doing, a hint of vigilance instinctively arose in their hearts.
After all, although the two Keqing elders have been members of the Miaoyin Sect for decades, they do not belong to the true core direct lineage. The sect leader only used the two of them and never really trusted each other.
As the left envoy of the sect, she was not wrong. After discovering this matter, she immediately informed the sect master.
Wang Ying naturally attached great importance to it, and then secretly paid attention to it for half a year. Unfortunately, since then, the other party has been normal and has not shown anything unusual.
Therefore, the matter was temporarily shelved. Even Fan Jingmei felt that maybe she was too suspicious and it was just a normal meeting of friends.
It wasn't until a month ago, after the door owner revealed the plan to her, that she remembered the matter again.
It was strange to say that for some reason, at that moment, she immediately felt a little uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen.
She originally wanted to tell the sect leader her thoughts again, but she thought about how she found nothing last time, and this time there was no evidence. Guessing based on intuition was not very convincing.
Just at this moment, she suddenly thought of Mo Juren, which led to the meeting today.
"You trust me so much?" Mo Juren put down the tea cup and asked with a smile.
"Senior, I don't know. Since we returned safely from the last trip to the ruins, the sect leader has said more than once that you are not only a friend of our sect, but also a benefactor who can be trusted absolutely. Therefore, this junior made a special trip here to think of you. I just wanted to meet you so that I might be able to give you some pointers. I just rashly disturbed your retreat, and I hope that I will forgive you, senior."
"If you forgive me, you will be forgiven. It's not a big deal." Mo Juren shook his head slightly and continued,
"On the contrary, your sect leader, I warned her many years ago, but she didn't pay attention. She is also big-hearted."
"Ah!" After hearing this, Fan Jingmei couldn't help but be startled, not understanding what the other person meant. However, Mo Juren did not explain much, but continued,
"It's always right to be cautious in everything. In this regard, you are much better than the leader of the Qi family."
"Senior, please don't misunderstand my sect leader. She just doesn't want to disturb your retreat, let alone because of such an ambiguous matter. Unlike me, it's really a bit presumptuous to come to you based on just some guesses."
"You are wrong about this. If you really don't come to look for me, I'm afraid something big will happen to your family this time." After saying this, Mo Juren drank the spiritual tea in his hand and his expression changed. Become solemn.
At this time, he had a lot of thoughts in his mind, thinking of too many connections behind this matter.
According to the original fate line, Wang Ying lost her life during this period, but the process changed. It was no longer through a large transaction, but into the current situation.
Since then, the Miaoyin Sect, which was originally developing smoothly, became fragmented in an instant. From then on, it was struggling to move forward and was at the mercy of others. The beloved daughter Ziling Fairy had no choice but to embark on a wandering life.
Of course, due to the appearance of his big butterfly, his destiny has been changed beyond recognition, and the most beautiful woman in the Sea of Stars has also disappeared. Besides, Caihuan is still alive and well. Even if Wang Ying gives birth to another Purple Spirit Fairy in the future, she will still be the same person.
Mo Juren, who is familiar with everything, naturally knows that the mastermind behind this incident is Jiyin Island. The other party and the two elders of Miaoyinmen cooperated internally and externally, which led to Wang Ying's death.
Otherwise, relying on the strength of the three pill-forming monks from the Miaoyin Sect and the Jiyin Patriarch not taking action, even if he fails, it is still possible to escape with his life.
"Jiyin Island?" Mo Juren had a lot of thoughts in his mind. He was not sure whether things would change. After all, facing a treasure like Tianleizhu, any big sect was eager for it.
Or maybe it's not for this bamboo, but for other purposes, such as the unique inheritance of Miaoyin Sect, countless stunning beauties, etc. In short, no matter what the reason is, no matter which force is involved, if the two traitors secretly betray and cooperate inside and outside, the Miaoyin Sect will not reap any good results.
"Senior..." Seeing the other person's changing expression, Fan Jingmei felt extremely uneasy. I wonder if my guess is right and the matter is really serious?
"When will you leave?" Mo Juren suddenly asked after coming back to his senses.
"It takes half a month to get to Tianxing City from Miaoyin Island, and we will probably leave in less than a month." Fan Jingmei answered immediately.
"Miaoyin Island?" Mo Juren nodded, then suddenly stood up and said,
“I’ve heard the name of Guidao a long time ago, but I’ve never been there, so I’d like to go and visit it this time.”
"Senior is going..." After hearing this, Fan Jingmei suddenly looked overjoyed and said quickly,
"In that case, this junior will send a message to the sect master."
"No!" Mo Juren immediately stopped the other party and continued,
"Let's go there quietly first. It won't be too late to contact you when we get to Guidao."
"Ah!" Fan Jingmei was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and said,
"Everything depends on the arrangements of seniors."
…
Half a month later, Miaoyin Island.
As a force that has been passed down for thousands of years, the Miaoyins are not a big sect, but they still cannot be underestimated.
At least, as the general helmsman of the sect, Miaoyin Island has done a good job. There are various places of practice and many buildings are quite elegant and beautiful.
More importantly, there is a high-quality spiritual vein under the island, which makes the cultivation environment here not weak, and it is not worse than some medium-sized sects.
The nature of the Miaoyin Sect is relatively unique. Because of the inheritance of the skills, all the disciples from the sect master to the disciples have been women for thousands of years. It wasn't until the current sect leader Wang Ying took over that there were any changes, but there were only two more male elders, and there were no other changes.
At this time, in the back mountain of Miaoyin Island, beside a beautiful lake, two slender figures were standing side by side, seemingly talking about something.
Both women have stunning looks, but their temperaments are completely different. One is gentle and dignified, yet majestic, while the other is cold and beautiful, and should not be approached by strangers.
"No news about Xiaomei?" Suddenly, the dignified woman suddenly spoke, it was Wang Ying, the master of the Miaoyin Sect.
"I tried to contact her several times, but unfortunately there was no response at all." The cold woman was naturally Zhuo Ruting. She obviously couldn't figure out the reason and frowned slightly.
"This girl is the same. Is there really something that can't be explained in person?" Wang Ying didn't think that the other party would do anything treacherous. However, she was about to set off but suddenly disappeared, and she couldn't help but feel worried.
Of course, it doesn't matter even if the other party doesn't return in time. This time we are only escorting resources. If there is no accident, there is not much danger. The presence or absence of the other party will not have much impact.
"Forget it, instead of talking about her, let's talk about this operation. How are you preparing for it?"
"According to my sister's instructions, all the resources were organized and classified in detail and put in different storage bags. In addition, I also divided the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo into two parts and put them in two plaster jade bags respectively. In the box made..." While answering, Zhuo Ruting immediately handed over a storage bag and continued,
"This is the part that is used for auction. It is better for the owner to carry it himself."
"How are the two of them? Has there been anything unusual recently?" After taking the storage bag, Wang Ying suddenly looked slightly condensed and asked in a low voice.
"Everything is as usual." Zhuo Ruting shook her head slightly, but suddenly asked,
"Since you can't trust them, why do you still keep them? If I remember correctly, Senior Mo gave you advice as early as twenty years ago. It's best to get rid of these two people, otherwise something will happen one day."
"Why don't I want to?" Wang Ying sighed and continued,
"Since the master passed away, the situation of Miaoyin Sect has become more and more difficult. It is precisely because of this that I took a huge risk to change the sect's rules and recruited those two people as guest elders. In this way, there are three monks in the alchemy stage Being in charge makes many people with bad intentions dare not offend easily.
From this point of view, they have merit. Even if there are various flaws in his character, this cannot be erased. As long as he does not harm the interests of the sect, I cannot expel him from the sect without any reason. "
Speaking of this, a trace of inexplicable anger suddenly flashed in his eyes, and it disappeared in an instant.
"Brother Mo did give me advice, but the problem is, he only gave me advice, but didn't propose a solution. You can't let me expel those two people and then support the entire sect on my own, right?"
"Are you angry with Senior Mo?" Zhuo Ruting's heart moved slightly and she asked tentatively.
"Who said that? I didn't..." Wang Ying subconsciously wanted to deny it. However, when she saw the half-smiling look in her sister's eyes, she immediately stopped hiding it and said,
"Well, I am indeed a little angry. I had invited you so sincerely, but I refused without thinking, as if I was afraid of having anything to do with you and me.
Of course, that's all. I can also understand that the relationship between Miaoyinmen is complicated and the reputation is not very good. It is reasonable for the other party to refuse. "
"I think, sister, you have fallen into a misunderstanding." Zhuo Ruting's bright eyes flashed slightly, and she continued,
"When we were on Fengle Island, we had no friendship with Senior Mo, but you rashly extended the invitation, and the other party naturally refused without hesitation.
But things are different now. Since they first explored the ruins together, the relationship between the two parties has changed. I don’t need to say more about this. You must also know it. After all, you two have lived together in the secret realm for so long..."
"Nothing happened to us!" Wang Ying immediately interrupted the other party. However, her slightly evasive eyes could not hide Zhuo Ruting, who had grown up together, and continued,
"Anyway, sister, why don't you try inviting me again? I don't think Senior Mo will refuse."
"I..." Upon hearing this, Wang Ying became silent for an instant. In fact, it was not that she had never thought about what the other party said, and she had even thought about it more than once.
However, every time he wanted to take action, he chose to retreat. The reason is also very simple. She is afraid and worried that the other party will reject her again.
The experience of that year in the secret realm of the past had a great impact on her, and her sincerity had already been completely given to the other party. It's a pity that the goddess has feelings, but Prince Xiang has no intention. The other party has not shown any signs from beginning to end, which makes her worry about gain and loss, for fear that if she is not good, she will not even be a friend.
"If it's hard for me to ask, sister, let me ask myself." Zhuo Ruting saw the other party's confusion and immediately gave her advice. Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Wang Ying did not agree. Instead, after some mental struggle, she finally made up her mind,
"I'll do it."
"Ah...that's okay." Zhuo Ruting was stunned for a moment, then replied. She just suggested that since the other party was willing to take the initiative to ask, it would be more appropriate.
In fact, she also had a great favorable impression of Mo Juren, especially after he was rescued by him, her favorable impression was infinitely magnified.
If the other party can become the elder of Miaoyin Sect, that would be great. It's not just her, Xiaomei is no exception. By then, everyone in the Miaoyin Sect will be united and no longer have to be on guard all the time like now, which is so troublesome and laborious.
More importantly, Senior Mo has endless potential and is deeply connected to the Star Palace. Having such a being to rely on is definitely the best way out for the Miaoyin Sect.
