That strange man was so powerful that Master Lu, who was in the mid-transcendent stage, could not even speak, so he died unexpectedly, and those few foundation builders were even sucked into human beings.
Su Mu didn't dare to do anything and asked Chuanyun to go back and report to Ning Daotai.
Five days later, Ning Daotai arrived in person.
Sujiang City was in turmoil, Su Muzhan was trembling with fear, and so was the deputy city lord Liang Tian.
Unfortunately, judging from Chuan Yun's confession, Ning Yu did something wrong and actually wanted to kill Chen Xing'er, a rising literary master. Chen Xing'er was taken away by that strange man in the world or something, and his whereabouts are unknown. Evaporated.
Seeing that Yingzi was back, Sultan asked how Brother Chen was doing. When she learned that Chen Xing'er had disappeared, she was worried and began to search, but she could not find him there. In the end, Su San was alarmed.
The great beauty Su San was worried and furious when she learned that Chen Xing'er was missing because of Ning Yu's incident. She was not worried that Chen Xing'er was dead, but that she was worried that Chen Xing'er would disappear out of thin air like the original person and she would never see him again. What made him angry was that he had already warned Ning Yu, but still did not repent, and even turned his anger on Su Mu and Ning Shan.
Su San's figure disappeared in a flash, and soon she landed in the attic of Huxiao Villa. It could be said that she appeared silently, but she still covered her face.
Su Mu and Ning Shan were discussing, and they were horrified when they saw a black figure whose face they could not see clearly but with murderous intent suddenly appeared in the attic. Ning Shan wanted to scold him, but suddenly, he found that he couldn't move, even his thoughts were imprisoned. His face turned pale instantly, and big beads of sweat broke out, but they just wouldn't roll down.
They wanted to ask, but they didn't know who was going on. When they woke up, they found that their mouths and noses were full of blood, and their chest and abdomen were in pain. They had obviously suffered serious internal injuries.
"This is just a small punishment. If Chen Xing'er is not found within one month, you will all die."
The black shadow's words seemed to come from the netherworld and directly affected their souls. The two immediately prostrated on the ground: "Yes, thank you for not killing me, senior. We will try to find Master Chen!"
After that, they waited for the black shadow to continue, but after waiting for a long time, the black shadow did not speak again, so they raised their heads, but the black shadow had disappeared without a trace.
The two breathed a huge sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads. After they knew that they had just been controlled, they asked questions. They were glad that they had not participated in the murder of Chen Xing'er, otherwise they would have died.
The two immediately discussed what to do. In the end, I thought it would be better to secretly send all the palace guards above the foundation and part of the city guards to track down the whereabouts of Master Chen, and conceal the deaths of Ning Yu, Lu Jiuyou and others.
At the same time, in order to cope with the upcoming selection of immortal disciples in Sujiang Mansion, it was announced that Su Hu would resign as city lord due to his long trip, and Liang Tian would take over as city lord.
Ning Shan left Chuan Yun behind and cooperated with five or six people from the Ning Mansion, while he escaped and went to Tiandu, pretending to report on his duties. He is a Taoist, and as long as he stays in Tiandu, the master will not kill him at will.
Su Mu suffered from old injuries and new injuries, and was exhausted mentally and physically, so he lay down directly.
Fortunately, Lu Wu also returned to Huxiao Villa at this time, but Su Mu's illegitimate son did not want to return to his clan and recognize his ancestors, nor was he interested in taking over his family business, and asked Su Mu not to disturb their mother and son again. Su Mu was so angry that he almost died.
For this reason, the selection can only be left to the city lord Liang Tianzhu. As for the affairs of Sujiang Mansion, he can only give orders temporarily in Huxiao Villa.
But how effective can such an order be? He knew that the Su family was really going to end.
At this time, he could only rely on two domestic slaves, Su De and Lu Wu, to support his appearance. The Ning family also became Su Mu's life-saving straw. He shamelessly wrote a letter and wanted to marry Sultan to Ning Shan's little girl instead. His son Ning Zhou, but his letters were like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no news.
In fact, Ning Shan had already given up on Su Mu. The reason why he did not replace him immediately was because he wanted to track down Chen Xing'er's whereabouts and could be used as a scapegoat. Secondly, time is short and there is no suitable candidate to recommend to Tiandu, let alone Tiandu sending someone directly. The appointment of Futai cannot be directly appointed by him as a Taoist, it must be decided by Tiandu, and he only has the right to recommend.
Su Mu was not confused. The current plan was to hope that his granddaughter Sudan would be selected by an immortal sect like Yingyang Academy to gain external support and gain a chance of survival.
Let’s talk about Sudan.
When Sultan saw that the whereabouts of his brother Chen, whom he longed for, was unknown because of her, and he did not know whether he was alive or dead, he blamed himself and felt sad. Finally, Yingzi persuaded Master Chen that if Master Chen had not died, he would definitely go to Baihuafang again, so it would be better for her to stay in Baihuafang and wait. Sultan agreed. . So Yingzi stayed in Baihuafang every day, hoping to wait for Chen Xing'er, but until the beginning of the Sujiang Mansion Immortal Path Selection, Chen Xing'er was not seen.
Sultan thought that Chen Xing'er might be dead.
She was so murderous that she lost weight. She even stopped going to school and stopped practicing. Finally, she went on a hunger strike. Although she was in the late stage of Qi training, she was still a mortal and had to eat, otherwise she would not survive for half a month, which frightened everyone in the Su family.
"Even if Brother Chen dies, I won't live alone!"
This is what she said to Su Mu, and also to herself.
Su Mu regretted it so much that he begged her for forgiveness in person. All the servants also begged her, but she was unmoved. In the end, Yingzi had to tell Ling Er about it.
Ling Er couldn't bear it. He knew that Chen Xing'er was Su Xing. He asked Yingzi to tell Sultan that he had calculated for Chen Xing'er that he was definitely not a person who died young and would definitely turn bad luck into good luck. He asked Sultan not only not to commit suicide but also to enter the Immortal Sect. , become an immortal, so that you have the opportunity to be with Master Chen forever.
Ling Er's words made Sultan suddenly realize that he had gained a new life. He immediately cheered up and strived to achieve the best results in the Immortal Path Selection.
…
Liang Tian was the biggest beneficiary of a series of deaths. He got his wish and became the city lord, and began to plan how to become a palace as soon as possible.
The most important thing in the near future is to make the selection go smoothly and strive to let more students enter the Immortal Sect. This will greatly increase the weight. Therefore, he spared no effort to visit various schools, even the Sujiang Mansion School, which he had never touched.
At the same time, he spent his own money to redecorate the selection venue and sent Liang Di to personally supervise it. The selection venue was the square of the ancient Sujiangfu School. Sujiang Academy was once a general's residence during the turbulent period between Xia and Yin Dynasties, and later became Sujiang Academy.
On this sunny day, the Sujiang Mansion Immortal Path Selection officially opened.
Before dawn, students from Blue Mountain Academy gathered in the martial arts hall.
Dean Liu Bo, Mr. Zheng Hao, Mr. Wang Jin and other gentlemen gave exciting speeches, expressing their high hopes, with the sole purpose of encouraging everyone to achieve good results. Su Xing was also surprised and moved. He didn't expect the teachers in this world to be so dedicated, even worse than the teachers in China.
The queue to go to Sujiang Mansion School formed a long and mighty queue. Su Xing and Liang Xiaoling rode two batches of strong horses in front of the Blue Mountain Academy team, attracting great attention. A beautiful person came out of the world, like a fairy from heaven, and a handsome person like a fairy boy came to the world. They became a dazzling scenery, attracting whispers from the people of Lanshan Town and Sujiang City along the way.
When someone said that this girl was the daughter of the city lord Liang Tian, everyone was surprised, and then they all praised her, saying that the city lord was so low-key that he actually raised a fairy without anyone knowing about it.
When someone said that this boy was also a descendant of the city lord's benefactor, his life experience was just unknown. However, seeing such an outstanding temperament, whether it was the queen of the big family or the queen of the immortals, the voices of praise were like a surge.
Then, someone else said that after the meteor disaster, the new city lord ran around, not only rescuing the affected towns and villages, but also helping to open two schools and countless damaged houses. As a result, everyone praised the new city lord as a good man who thought about the people. Sujiang City was blessed.
All of the above were done under Liang Di's instructions, for the sake of his own reputation. However, it is also true. In Su Xing's view, Liang Tian was nothing less than a good official, and to a certain extent, Su Hu and Su Mu were both, because the people of the entire Sujiang Prefecture could be said to have ample food and clothing and a prosperous life.
This is one of the reasons why Su Xing no longer makes things difficult for Su Mu. Su Xing was born in poverty, so as long as he was nice to the poor people, it wouldn't be considered a heinous crime.
Su Xing and Liang Xiaoling attracted much attention, and Blue Mountain Academy also attracted enough attention, changing its decadent appearance from previous years. Blue Mountain Academy has always been ranked at the bottom in previous selections. Now, the people of Blue Mountain Academy believe that it is time for Yang Mei to breathe out.
…
In addition to Blue Mountain Academy, teams from other schools also poured into Sujiang Mansion Academy from other directions.
Sujiangfu Academy is much larger than Blue Mountain Academy and has a longer history. The square of Sujiangfu Academy was originally a military school ground. It faces the lake to the south and the school buildings on the hill to the north. The whole square looks grand yet spiritual and antique.
Before long, the square of Nuo Nuo University was filled with about 2,000 students from five schools. Sujiang School has the largest number of students, almost as many as the four major town-level schools combined.
What puzzled Su Xing was that he did not see Sultan. He had met the people who came to investigate at Blue Mountain Academy. At that time, the gentlemen were worried when they learned that Chen Xing'er was missing, and Zheng Hao was even more prepared to look for it himself. He changed his appearance again and went to Baihuafang several times, but he only saw Yingzi sitting at the door every day with a sad look on his face. He pretended to ask why. Yingzi, perhaps sincerely, asked him directly if he had met Master Chen. Su Xing was a little worried about Sudan and hoped that she wouldn't be too overwhelmed.
He immediately asked Su Xing with a smile what he was thinking about. Su Xing said that he was wondering if we were the elite among the young people in Sujiang Mansion.
He immediately looked at Liang Xiaoling, meaning that Liang Xiaoling would answer. Su Xing also looked at Liang Xiaoling.
Today, Liang Xiaoling is wearing a snow-white dress, and her exquisite and tall figure is perfectly outlined. She has black hair like clouds, bright eyes and white teeth, and a pink face with cold spring. She is as beautiful as a white lotus emerging from the water, fresh and refined, and Noble and fair, Su Xing's mood improved instantly, and she even felt a little proud.
"Yes. But as usual, less than 100 people will be admitted to the Immortal Sect, which is less than 10% of the total number!"
"The admission rate is so low! If that's the case, why not select a batch in the school first?" Su Xing expressed surprise.
Liang Xiaoling was about to explain, but was interrupted by a discordant voice: "Hey, is this person a fool? He doesn't seem to understand anything?"
A few rows away from the crowd, there was a student in expensive clothes who despised Su Xing. He said he despised Su Xing, but his eyes were staring at Liang Xiaoling fiercely.
"Blue Mountain Academy has always been at the bottom, so it's no wonder there are such fools!" A male student next to him supported, looking like he was the follower of the noble student.
"Yes, this person looks humane, but he is an idiot! In this case, this woman is probably not good at all!" Another female student dressed in a coquettish way also flattered this noble young man, and at the same time , and also belittled Liang Xiaoling. There was a strong smell of sour vinegar in his tone.
She was displeased when she saw that Liang Xiaoling became the center of attention as soon as she appeared on the stage, but her favorite Mr. Zhu had his eyes fixed on her.
Mr. Guiqi nodded noncommittally, his eyes roaming around Liang Xiaoling's body again, looking very disgusting.
Liang Xiaoling was instantly angry.
Su Xing was even more furious.
