Eastern part of the Southern Commonwealth, Aino State. At this moment, a piece of land in the suburbs that was intended to be used as a private university was allocated by the Federation to Xiaoyao and Ma En. Now the college has been surrounded by members of the Federation and is undergoing comprehensive reconstruction and renovation.
And Ma En is supervising at the moment
The establishment of "Xiaoyao Sect" saw those members of the unusual construction company ensure that it looked like a school on the outside, and at the same time, they also had to meet Xiaoyao's various stringent requirements for construction.
The federation has also invested a lot of money this time. Although Xiaoyao himself will contribute a lot to the establishment of the sect here, he can save at least a few months with the federation's preliminary work, and the sect will be better disguised. .
While Ma En was idly watching the work of the Abnormal Construction Company, a few crisp footsteps suddenly came from behind him, and he noticed that the footsteps did not really come from far away, but more like they appeared suddenly. It was more than ten meters behind him, as if he was deliberately reminding him in advance.
"Ma En." The voice coming from behind was extremely familiar to him.
"I didn't expect to see you again so soon." Ma En turned around and looked at the shadow standing behind him and the two people behind him.
"Followers", the pair of yin and yang twins who were sent by the federation to monitor themselves and Xiaoyao. At this moment, the eyes of the ghost cultivators looking at Ma En were completely different from the past. He could detect that Wang Yang and Wang Yin were a little reserved when facing him, and even shrank a little, specifically standing behind the shadow.
At first glance, they are particularly afraid of themselves. Considering the past events, the strength they have shown now, and the federation's misunderstanding of themselves, this behavior is actually quite reasonable.
However, Ma En could notice that they were not particularly afraid of themselves. Their behavioral motivation was closer to resistance. If they were really afraid, they were also afraid of themselves.
The divine sky "behind". Only Shadow's expression remained the same as before, as if Ma En and the Federation had no conflict at all.
He joked with a curious look on his face: "I actually didn't expect you to help him. Did you make some secret deal quietly in private? I heard that several of his disciples seemed to have died at your hands. ." However, Shadow did not really wait for Ma En's answer, and then immediately turned around and said: "And I didn't expect you to show up so soon. Have you dealt with that guy?" Ma En shook his head slightly, He also took the initiative to answer the first question that Shadow didn't intend to ask: "I haven't dealt with him yet, but for me, this guy is nothing to worry about, and you are right, Xiaoyao and I do have some small exchanges of interests. , and I don’t need to delay our plans for that guy.” Shadow smiled, and then said what he really wanted to ask: “Really, I thought you had already solved him, after all, you had already gone to see him Shenxiao?" Looking at the faint smile on his face, Ma En knew that this was the purpose of the Federation sending Shadow. After they signed a new contract, the Federation actually had no objection to him.
But after they learned that Ma En had gone to see Shenxiao, there was once again a heated discussion about Ma En within the federation, and many senior members expressed strong doubts and concerns.
Although Ma En has signed a contract that he cannot help Shen Xiao, it stands to reason that there is no problem for Ma En to see Shen Xiao under this situation, but when it comes to her, many politicians in the Federation cannot think rationally.
Even someone like Shadow who wasn't particularly worried felt that he should come and see Ma En.
"You still have to ask me this?" Ma En directly admitted the reason why he went to see Shen Xiao,
"Shenxiao's power has just been suppressed by you to the extent that it can barely suppress the Sea Clan. She can't help me at all." Shadow squinted at Ma En, and this time he also directly used his psychic abilities. Sensing Ma En, now he doesn't have to abide by any armistice agreement at all, and can secretly test Ma En with his abilities.
Although he only quietly sensed it for a short moment, he was already sure that Ma En did not have a guilty conscience. It didn't seem like he really used Shenxiao to do anything, but he might not have received any help.
Maybe at this time he would join forces with Xiaoyao and come here to establish a sect just because of Shenxiao's instructions.
After getting the answer, Shadow showed a sincere and gentle smile: "That's true, but you have to strictly control Shenxiao, otherwise she may get a chance, and those of us who imprisoned her will have to play Finish, we must be careful." He was actually explaining why he came to see Ma En and test him.
Ma En also showed a cooperative expression of understanding: "Indeed, I'm just waiting for you to make mistakes." Shadow smiled: "But unfortunately, we will never relax when facing a guy like Shen Xiao. Well, since Your purpose in going to see Shenxiao is really to seek help, so I can explain it to those politicians.
"Wang Yang and Wang Yin will communicate with you about Xiaoyao. If you have any questions, just tell them directly. Of course, if you don't mind, you can come to me at any time. Our friendship is still there." Ma En naturally said to him He didn't believe what he said at all, but he still nodded hypocritically and said to the shadow: "Of course, I won't be polite if you have anything to do." After the shadow was polite, he took a few steps back, let the Yin and Yang twins out, and then said: "I I'll go back and resume my life first. In fact, if you have anything to do, you can tell me through Wang Yang. Now he can be regarded as my deputy in the investigation department. Whatever you say to him is like going directly into my ears." Finally. After a few more polite words, the shadow disappeared in front of him.
At this time, the Yin and Yang twins had to stand up and face Ma En. After Wang Yang noticed that his sister still seemed a little afraid to come forward, he took the initiative to take two steps forward, and then greeted politely. : "Your Excellency Ma En, my sister and I will be responsible for this matter in the next period of time." The boy's expression was particularly polite. In fact, Ma En discovered very early that Wang Yang was better at covering up his identity. Because of the characteristic of resentment, Wang Yin often reveals that resentment in his words and deeds.
Ma En nodded slightly to him and said: "But it will still take some time before this place is built, so don't be particularly anxious." Wang Yang also raised his head and followed Ma En's line of sight to the construction site in the distance: "Yes, but the federal Bian hopes that some of the members they send can practice in advance. After all, if our members can master knowledge early, it will also make the new members who join us more convinced.
"As far as I know, Xiaoyao plans to personally select the first disciples of the sect, and will also select many ordinary people without any abnormal abilities to practice. It is not easy to convince them that this is feasible.
"But if they see that some people are already practicing with Xiaoyao, it should be able to dispel their worries and hesitations. After all, humans are always easily persuaded by other people's behavior." Ma En knew that Wang Yang was so The purpose is just to allow the Federation to arrange for their people to come in as soon as possible, and their motive is definitely not to help Xiaoyao, but to take advantage of them.
However, Ma En did not intend to expose or reject them, because in fact, these little thoughts were nothing to him or Xiaoyao, and the Federation did not understand Xiaoyao's true plan at all.
"That's not a problem." Ma En replied,
"But I have to talk to my junior sister about this in detail." As a newly established sect, Guan Yi naturally assumed the position of the backbone of the sect, handling some chores, and was actually responsible for its retreat in Xiaoyao. The work of teaching junior disciples.
As a monk who has perfected the golden elixir, she is more than capable of teaching disciples. Although she has inherited the understanding from Du Jin and others that she would not be bad if she really wants to teach disciples, it is difficult to compare with her in many details.
Moreover, when Xiaoyao made a deal with him, he definitely didn't want him to be a teacher for those sect disciples. What Xiaoyao wanted was for him to solve all kinds of troubles and difficult problems for him.
Wang Yang showed a happy expression after hearing this answer: "Okay, please make arrangements then." Ma En didn't waste time and directly used magic to transmit the message to Guan Yi. After only a moment, Ben stayed there The little junior sister here also landed in front of them with a flying sword, and looked up at Ma En: "Senior brother, are you looking for me?" Ma En said: "This fellow Taoist Wang Yang has something to tell you." Wang Yang also said He immediately stepped forward and chatted with Guan Yi about the disciples' arrangements. However, before saying a few words, Guan Yi turned around and looked at Ma En, and then said: "Brother, Master said that he would also arrange some disciples for you. Do you have any ideas?" Ma En replied: "Just deal with it." Guan Yi nodded, and then continued to concentrate on discussing the specific arrangements for this matter with Wang Yang.
Seeing this, Wang Yin also glanced at Ma En at a loss, but didn't know what to say. Whether it was in Dongxinzhou or the Southern Federation, they didn't get along well.
But she didn't expect Ma En to be the first to speak and break the silence: "Master and I chatted a few days ago, and he also mentioned you and Wang Yang." The girl showed a surprised look: "Did you mention us?" Ma En Nodding: "He seems to have some understanding of the guy you turned into like this. Do you still remember what happened to him?" This sentence made Wang Yin instinctively show a look of resistance. She turned her head and looked back. Wang Yang, who was discussing cooperation matters with Guan Yi, then looked at Ma En again: "What do you know?" Ma En did not answer her question directly, but instead asked: "Do you still remember what happened during your lifetime?" Something?" The girl lowered her head slightly, thought for a few seconds and said: "No, our memory of the past is not clear. We only gradually regained such a clear will after meeting Shenxiao. We have been in chaos for a long time." Ma En asked curiously: "Do you remember how long ago it was when you died?" Wang Yin shook his head slightly: "I don't remember when it was. The memory of the past only has an extremely vague outline of the lake, and it seems that we lived in an extremely backward and isolated small village. It is difficult to determine how long ago it was.
"However, according to the federal speculation, when Shenxiao found us, we should have been resentful souls for at least several decades, but we don't know the specific time." This actually made Xiaoyao right when Shenxiao killed the person. The monk's speculation was shattered, but in fact he couldn't be sure whether the pair of resentful spirits were from the Federation or the cultivation world, but this was not that important.
After Wang Yin's confession, Ma En had no intention of concealing anything: "Xiaoyao and I mentioned that the guy who turned you into resentful ghosts may also be a monk, or the power he controls is closely related to practice. , and his realm should also be Nascent Soul.
"And he probably invested a lot of resources in your refining. Judging from Xiaoyao's experience, the original purpose of doing this should be to refine you into followers, and there is a doubt here.
"Even in Xiaoyao's opinion, his refining of you can be regarded as particularly outstanding, so the monk must not have taken you away because of your problems. Then where did he go?" Wang Yin also revealed his voice after hearing this. He looked thoughtful: "I understand what you are saying. Wang Yang and I know very well how strong we are, and he and I were just ordinary people before we became wraiths. In other words, the bastards who invested in refining us must have invested a lot in refining us." Quite a few.
“But I don’t know where he went, I wasn’t even awake at that time.
"But thank you very much for telling me the news." At this point, she also showed a grateful look. Whether it was sincere or not, the awkward atmosphere that originally filled the air between them had dissipated without a trace.
Ma En continued: "Actually, I initially thought that the Federation's decision to ask you to come had something to do with it." Wang Yin shook his head: "I don't think the Federation knew about this. He only sent us here because we have had contact with you before. , Speaking of which, I remembered that when I bumped into you in Dongxinzhou, when Shenxiao's voice appeared, we felt that you suddenly became particularly dangerous. In the past, we thought that we were confused by the fear that Shenxiao gave us. …
"But now it seems that you skillfully exerted your true pressure at that time, right?" Ma En blinked, and then replied with a normal expression: "Maybe, actually I don't remember it anymore. "The second half of the sentence is true. He has no memory of Wang Yin mentioning this fear. Ma En only remembers that when he was just ready to fight and escape with Qin Lan, the Yin and Yang twins were scared away. .
The truth should really be that they confused the source of their fear. Wang Yin asked curiously: "So it was just a coincidence that this happened to you? You originally wanted to meet Shenxiao through Qin Lan." Ma En nodded: "That's right, I didn't expect what happened next. , but actually I'm quite glad that I happened to be there at that time, otherwise Qin Lan might have been taken away by you." When he said this, a thought flashed through Ma En's mind.
The Yin and Yang twins were found by Shen Xiao himself, and in the end it was they who went to surround Qin Lan... This thought passed through his mind fleetingly, but by coincidence, Wang Yang glanced at Ma En at this time, and when the boy looked at When he arrived, the terrifying face from the nightmare could not help but appear in his mind.
The evil god who declared in her dream that she still hadn't lost.
