Chapter 41: The Conspiracy of the Crane in the Clouds
The night of the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month was a moonless night, there were no stars in the sky, it was pitch black, and the cold wind blew the bare trees, making the Yun family guards who were still on duty in the courtyard shrink their necks. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
When Qin Yuxuan was still diligently practicing spells in the Qiankun Ring Space, in the inner courtyard of the Yun family, three young monks dressed in the clothes of a side disciple walked towards the secret room under the summons of a descendant disciple.
These four people are none other than Yun Zhongyong and the three scattered cultivators who have just been recruited into the Yun family in the way of entering the family.
And on the main seat of the secret room, there was already a person sitting, this person was wearing a white brocade robe, his face was gloomy, it was the Yun family's eldest young master, Yun Zhonghe.
After the four of them were seated, the three cultivators bowed to the crane in the clouds and said, "Brother Crane, I don't know what you have summoned us for?" β
Yun Zhonghe coughed dryly twice at this time, and then said with a gloomy face: "The three of them are not outsiders, Zhongyong also talked to you about my Yun family before, the reason why I called you here today, it is estimated that the three of them should have guessed a few points......
The three scattered cultivators all nodded, they had already learned something about the internal struggle of the Yun family from Yun Zhongyong's mouth.
Yun Zhonghe glanced at the people present, and then continued: "I think you also know very well that the contradiction between me and that little slut Yun Zhongxi is irreconcilable......
"Now, in order to be the head of the house, that little slut does not hesitate to stoop down to marry a foreign waste, this young master really can't bear it anymore! For the sake of my Yun family's reputation, I must not let Mu Cheng's waste stay in the Yun family...... That's why I want you to kill this man for me!" β
When he said this, a fierce light flashed in the small eyes of the crane in the clouds.
When the three of them heard this, they all looked at each other. Although they knew that they were going to be in a hostile relationship with Miss Yun from the day they joined the Yun family. But who would have thought that when he came to the Yun family just now, the first task was to kill Miss Yun's fiancΓ©.
A moment later, one of them, Tao Han, was cautiously reminded, "Brother He, we do know a thing or two about this matter from Brother Zhongyong. To deal with Mu Cheng, I believe that any of the three of us can easily take his life...... However, now this kid is staying at home and not leaving the Yun family at all, and Yun Zhongxi has sent a few guards to follow him all the time...... How do we get started? β
Yun Zhonghe showed a look of disdain when he heard this, and he snorted coldly and said, "Tao Han, have you forgotten that tomorrow is the time for the family test...... After Mu Cheng joined my Yun family, he was also one of the side disciples. But his strength is too poor, and among my Yun family disciples, he is definitely the bottom role. I'm sure you know something about that......"
"In the annual family exam, all collateral disciples must participate, and they must not shirk. Therefore, Mu Cheng will definitely participate, there is no doubt about it! β
"During the family test, although there are rules prohibiting killing people during the competition, as long as the other party admits defeat, he can't make any more moves. But in fact, it is not uncommon to miss and hurt people in battle...... In the past, during the family test, the two sides were red-eyed, and it was inevitable that they couldn't stop it! β
Speaking of this, Yun Zhonghe showed a hint of viciousness in his eyes and said, "So, I need you to compete with Mu Cheng." and then make a mistake in the small test, accidentally injure and kill, and you can get by. You must know that my father is the second elder of the clan, and he is responsible for the assessment and evaluation of the clan, and it is not a matter of excusing you at that time! β
"After all, no matter which immortal cultivation family it is, when making a decision, it will always favor the side of the powerful one, and this is the reason for becoming a king or losing a villain. Could it be that they would make things difficult for a dead man, and that the best of the clan would not succeed? β
When the three of them heard this, they finally suddenly realized.
Only then did they understand that Yun Zhonghe summoned the three of them to come in the hope that they would kill Mu Cheng during the family test tomorrow.
It's just that they also heard that during the family test, the arrangement of opponents is determined by lottery. What if the three of them didn't draw Mu Cheng?
When another casual cultivator named Lu Qian raised this question, Yun Zhonghe laughed and said, "You don't have to worry about this, my father is the elder who is responsible for organizing the assessment competition within the clan. He was busy with his affairs, so he left the lottery to me to arrange...... At that time, I guarantee that you can draw Mu Cheng! β
The three of them had no doubts now, and they all said that they would definitely act according to the instructions of the eldest young master.
"Hmmm! If you can enter the top three of the side disciples this time, you will be able to enjoy the treatment of the side disciples in the coming year. In terms of the distribution of the family's cultivation resources, they will receive more care and inclination than the disciples of the side lineage. If I become the new head of the family in the future, the three of them will be rewarded! Yun Zhonghe smiled and said: "At that time, as long as Young Master Ben can eat meat, he will absolutely guarantee that everyone will have soup to drink......
When the three casual cultivators heard this, they immediately laughed all over their faces, and there was a sound of flattery at the scene.
After the scene was quieter, Yunzhong Hefang said to a loose cultivator named Lu Qiong: "Brother Lu Xian, tomorrow I will arrange you to be Mu Cheng's first opponent. You have to pay attention: you must abolish that kid, even if you can't kill him on the spot, you must abolish his cultivation, so that he can never practice again! Don't be soft then! β
"Yes!" Although Lu Qiong agreed, his eyes turned sharply, and he secretly thought that although the crane in the clouds had promised, his father could help him exonerate. But the devil knows if it can be fulfilled by then, after all, it is not Yun Dingfeng himself who guarantees it.
Seeing that Lu Qiong's expression was a little hesitant, the crane in the cloud had already guessed what he was afraid of.
So, he laughed heartily and said: "Brother Lu Xian doesn't need to be afraid, although the rules of the competition say that as long as the opponent admits defeat, he can't fight anymore." But if you really fight, how can you say that you will stop it? In the previous family exams, were there fewer people who were killed and injured? In the end, the disciple who missed and hurt others was not released after only being locked up for three months! All benefits are not affected. After all, the loser is inferior to others, and the winner is a step ahead! Whether it is the head of the family or a few elders, they all know very well that they should prefer disciples with superior skills, or disciples with inferior skills! β
Speaking of this, he said in an accentuated tone: "So, Brother Lu Xian, when you and Mu Cheng face off, you must not show mercy to your subordinates!" Even if you are locked up because of this...... I can also guarantee that you come out early, and I can also reward you with 3,000 spirit stones as a convulsion fee! β
When the three disciples heard this, they all gasped, three thousand spirit stones were not a small amount for their kind of casual cultivation. It can also be seen that in order to achieve the goal, the crane in the cloud has invested a lot of money.
"Obey the orders of the eldest young master!" Since there was such a rich reward of spirit stones, Lu Qiong naturally would not refuse.
"Good! Then go back and prepare! Don't embarrass Young Master Ben in this family test! After all, everyone in the clan can guess that you are my people. Seeing that the things that should be explained in the clouds have been almost said, Fang said coldly.
Lu Qiong, Lu Qian, Tao Han and the other three naturally said yes again and again, and then went back to their respective rooms to meditate and breathe, preparing to compete tomorrow.
