Chapter 148: House Arrest
Mu Feng said helplessly: "Xi'er, why are you so confused! I don't know how many people in this world are begging for the royal family to appreciate, such a good opportunity is in front of you, as long as you can seize it, you will definitely soar in the future, and the future is limitless!"
Mu Xi still wanted to argue, but Mu Feng waved his hand first and stopped: "Okay, don't go against your father again, I'll give you a period of time to think about it." Go back. ”
Mu Xi frowned and said goodbye: "My daughter has left." ”
Mu Feng handed Mu Li in again, and ordered: "Mu Li, this city lord has given you one thing, you must complete it well." ”
Mu Li hugged his fists and said, "City Lord, please speak." ”
"From today onwards, you follow Xi'er, always pay attention to her behavior and movements, and report to me as soon as there is news about the royal family. Mu Feng said.
"The subordinates obeyed. Mu Li said and turned to leave.
Mu Xi returned to his courtyard, and he lost his interest in cultivating, so he sat by the window with his hands on his chin, and looked at the sky outside the window with a melancholy gaze.
According to Mu Feng's requirements, Mu Li honestly stood outside the door, monitoring Mu Xi at all times.
Mu Xi opened his mouth and said, "Elder Mu Li, did my father send you to monitor me?"
Mu Li saluted and said, "Don't blame the young master, the city lord is also for your good." ”
Mu Xi smiled bitterly and said, "For my good, he just wants to be good with the royal family." For the sake of the family, without any regard for the feelings of his own daughter, he is really not a qualified father. ”
Mu Li comforted: "Young master, don't say that, the city lord will be unhappy when he hears it." You are the young master of our Mu family, and you are the daughter of the city lord, the city lord will not care about the young master's feelings, maybe the city lord also has his unspeakable secrets. ”
Mu Xi retracted his gaze, leaned against the wall, and said, "I want to go out for a walk." ”
Mu Li asked, "Where does the young master want to go?"
Mu Xi said casually: "It's good anywhere, in short, I just don't want to stay in the house." ”
Mu Li sighed and said, "Young master, don't go too far. ”
Mu Xi nodded, got up and said, "I know." ”
However, as soon as she reached the door, a voice came: "Where do you want to go?"
The two of them followed the prestige, only to see Mu Feng walking over with a serious face.
Mu Li saluted: "Meet the city lord." ”
Mu Xi said unhappily: "I'll go out for a walk." ”
Mu Feng snorted coldly and stopped: "You can't go anywhere until you think clearly." ”
Mu Xi looked at his father and felt a deep sense of strangeness, the man in front of him seemed to be a different person, he had never been like this before. When Mu Xi was young, her father was still very doting on her, and he would ask for her opinion no matter what he did, which can be described as meticulous. Since the Nine Emperor Princes came to Ye Ling City, Mu Feng has never treated Mu Xi like before.
Mu Xi said in a deep voice: "Father, are you putting me under house arrest?"
Mu Feng didn't answer her, but ordered: "Mu Li, take care of the young master, without my order, she is not allowed to step out of the gate for half a step." ”
Mu Li looked at Mu Feng in surprise, hugged his fists and said, "Subordinate...... Yes, sir. ”
Mu Xi's fists clenched, and he turned back into the room.
The Qin family.
Kaya came to Qin Mo's room, opened the door and asked, "Senior Brother Qin Mo, have you seen my brother?"
Qin Mo shook his head and said, "No, what's wrong?"
Kaya said anxiously: "My brother is gone, I searched all over the inside and outside of the Qin family, but I still haven't seen him." ”
Qin Mo comforted: "Don't worry, the guitar may be back to the Xingquan Mountain Range." ”
Kaya shook her head heavily and said, "No, my brother will definitely tell me if he leaves, and with his current situation, it is dangerous to run around alone." ”
Qin Mo thought for a while and said, "Then I'll go with you to find out." ”
Kaya nodded, "Thank you, senior brother." ”
"You're welcome, let's go. ”
The two of them found other people to help, and ran all over the Qin family, but they couldn't find Qiuchi.
Qin Jie discussed: "Qin Mo and I will go to the city to find out." ”
Kaya agreed, "Okay, then I'll go and ask the master." ”
Kaya came to the council hall, the head of the Qin family was sitting in the position of the head of the family to deal with things, seeing Kaya's arrival, the head of the Qin family also guessed her intention in his heart, so he took the initiative to ask, "Are you here to ask me about Kaji?"
Seeing that the head of the Qin family guessed his intentions, Kaya thought that he knew the whereabouts of Qiu Chi, and said with great joy: "Well, does the head of the family know where my brother has gone?"
The head of the Qin family made up a lie at random and said, "Kaji is in retreat and cultivating, and he may not come out recently." ”
Kaya wondered, "Isn't my brother unable to cultivate?"
The head of the Qin family thought for a moment and explained, "He may be going to participate in the exercises, in short, you don't have to worry too much about him." It would not be a good thing for him to be in retreat now, lest the people of the Blood Qi Sect come and assassinate him again. ”
Although Kaya was puzzled, she didn't ask any further, but said, "Thank you, Master, Kaya has taken her leave." ”
With that, Kaya bowed and left.
As soon as the head of the Qin family breathed a sigh of relief, another person broke in outside the door, and someone came with a mask, the head of the Qin family couldn't see his appearance clearly, but through the breath on his body, it could be judged that the other party's strength was not below him, and it was very likely that he was the assassin who assassinated Qiuchi.
The person who came was the blood shadow, and he searched for it several times but did not find any trace of Qiu Chi, so he came directly to find the main person of the Qin family.
The head of the Qin family said vigilantly: "Who is Your Excellency?"
Blood Shadow sneered and said, "You don't need to know who I am, tell me, where is Kaji?"
Blood Shadow's words confirmed the Qin family's guess, and the Qin family's head said coldly: "You tell me first, what are you looking for Kaji?"
Blood Shadow laughed and sneered, "Idiot, what do you think I'm looking for him?
The head of the Qin family was annoyed and angry, and slapped his palm on the door of the blood shadow, a trace of killing intent flashed in the blood shadow's eyes, and his figure disappeared in place in an instant, and the next moment, the head of the Qin family only felt a chill on his back, and a dagger was already on his neck.
The head of the Qin family broke out in a cold sweat, and his anger was suppressed, he couldn't even see the speed of the blood shadow's knife clearly, and his life was already hanging by a thread, which showed that the other party was by no means something he could contend with.
Blood Shadow smiled and said, "Do you want to die?" I can satisfy you. ”
The head of the Qin family said in a trembling voice: "I hope Your Excellency stops, I can tell you the whereabouts of Kaji, but there is also a request." ”
Blood Shadow took the dagger and said unhappily: "I hate it when others talk to me about conditions, you can talk about it, if it doesn't suit me, be careful of your head." ”
The head of the Qin family couldn't help but swallow and spat at the mouth, and said tentatively, "Your mission is only to assassinate Kaji, right?"
The Blood Shadow replied, "That's right. ”
The head of the Qin family hesitated for a moment, and discussed: "Then please don't implicate my Qin family." ”
Blood Shadow was slightly stunned, and laughed: "Your Qin family really knows how to survive, hehe, such a genius, you don't even have the slightest intention of cherishing it, I really feel sorry for him." ”
The head of the Qin family asked again, "Has Your Excellency agreed to this condition?"
Blood Shadow nodded and said, "Okay, I can promise you that it won't involve your Qin family." Tell me about Kaji's whereabouts. ”
"Ye Ling City, Kama Tribe. ”
The Blood Shadow sneered, and disappeared in place in a flash.
The head of the Qin family sat on the ground, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and thought in his heart: Kaji, don't blame me for being ruthless, don't worry, the family will definitely find out the mastermind behind all this and give you justice.
As the two of them were on the road, the Blood Charm asked, "Where are we going next?"
Qiu Chi thought for a moment and replied, "Let's go to other towns and inquire about the news first." ”
Blood Charm nodded and followed behind Qiu Chi.
On the way, Qiu Chi suddenly asked, "By the way, how did you summon a dragon python out of thin air?"
Blood Charm smiled slightly, and sold a pass: "Guess what." ”
Qiu Chi thought about it carefully, and said tentatively, "Is it the Transformation Technique?"
The Blood Demon shook her head and looked at Akichi with a playful gaze.
Qiu Chi guessed again: "Summoned by using the space array?"
The blood charm still shook his head and said, "It's not either." Well, I guess you don't even know what this is, so I won't let you guess. Have you ever heard of Natal Beasts?"
Qiu Chi's mind suddenly remembered the situation when he had talked to Qin Mo, and that was the first time he learned about the Natal Beast.
Qiu Chi nodded and said, "I've heard that some people are born with an exclusive beast to protect them, and these beasts come when they are born, and they will appear in times of danger. ”
Blood Charm looked at Qiu Chi in surprise and said, "I didn't expect you to really know." That's right, this dragon python is my natal beast, although the quality is not excellent, but the combat effectiveness is still very good. ”
Qiu Chi continued, "It is said that the probability of having a natal beast is very small, and there is no one in ten thousand, so it would be very good for you to have a natal beast. ”
Blood Charm suddenly remembered something and wondered, "By the way, my dragon python seems to be very afraid of you, but I haven't figured it out." ”
"Afraid of me, could it be that there is something in me that scares him?" Qiu Chi was also puzzled.
Blood Charm pinched her chin with her hand and said thoughtfully: "Although the dragon python belongs to the dragon clan, after all, it has the blood of the dragon clan, so it stands to reason that it should not be feared, and the dragon clan is the most feared...... It's pure dragon blood!"
The blood charm looked at Qiu Chi with a curious expression, and said with a wicked smile: "You can't be from the dragon clan, right?"
Qiu Chi smiled bitterly and said, "Have you ever seen a dragon that grows like this?"
Blood Charm teased: "That maybe, after all, the dragon clan has a way to transform into shapes." ”
Qiu Chi sighed and said helplessly: "To be honest, I don't know my bloodline, if it is the bloodline of the human race, some things are really difficult to explain, but if it is not the human race, so far it has not shown the characteristics of other races." ”
Blood Charm smiled, leaned over to Qiu Chi's ear, and whispered, "Why don't you give me your essence blood, and I'll help you check it, how about it?"
Qiu Chi subconsciously dodged the blood charm, shook his head and said, "I will naturally give it to you after the agreement is completed, but not yet." ”
