542 Returns
Mu Ying walked all the way to the Xianyun Sect, but stopped when she was about to reach the gate of the Xianyun Sect, only to see her turn her eyes, look around, and find that there was no one around, so she took out a pill bottle from the storage bag, took out a pill from it and put it in her mouth.
As soon as the elixir was swallowed, her face changed, and in just an instant, she changed into another rather ordinary-looking face.
Entering the sect with the token did not arouse the suspicion of the disciples guarding the door. After Mu Ying entered the mountain gate, he went straight to Mu Jin's residence, but when he arrived outside the hall, he was stopped by Steward Qin.
Mu Jin is the master of a hall, and naturally no one can see it if he wants to. And he had never seen Mu Ying's face, and he didn't know which unknown inner disciple it was, of course Steward Qin wouldn't let her meet Mu Jin directly.
"Who are you, and what are you doing with the Lord of the Temple?" Steward Qin frowned and asked.
"Steward Qin, please inform me and tell the hall master...... Qiao Ling is here, and the hall master will definitely meet. Mu Ying saluted.
Steward Qin looked Mu Ying up and down. Perhaps sensing that she was not untargeted, he nodded and assigned a maid to go in and communicate with Mu Jin, while he stood in front of the hall and watched Mu Ying.
It's just that what makes Steward Qin strange is that not long after the maid entered, there were footsteps coming from inside. Steward Qin thought that it was the maid who wanted to reject Mu Ying, but he didn't expect that the person who came was not the maid, but Mu Jin himself!
Mu Jin walked out of the hall with a anxious face, his eyes were looking for something around, and he stopped when he saw Mu Ying standing outside the hall. He looked at it with some confusion.
Mu Ying winked at her and smiled.
Mu Jin's eyes lit up immediately and he walked in front of Mu Ying. "Come with me."
As he spoke, he walked towards his own hall, and Mu Ying followed closely behind, leaving Steward Qin looking at the backs of the two in some surprise.
Who is this Qiao Ling, and how could the Lord of the Labor Hall come to greet him personally? And looking at his expression, it seems to be very excited?
Steward Qin, who was a little confused, shook his head and didn't think about it anymore.
"Haunting?"
Mu Ying followed Mu Jin and just returned to the house. Mu Jin closed the door and looked at Mu Ying with some surprise.
"Master, the apprentice is back." Mu Ying replied.
"How did you get this way?" Hear Mu Ying's voice. Mu Jin breathed a long sigh of relief, and a look of relaxation appeared on his face, but then he stared at Mu Ying's face for a long time.
"It's a long story......"
Mu Ying then went on to tell her about what had happened after she left, but she was vague when it came to her captivity. Let's just say it's a misunderstanding. Then it was figured out. However, he told Mu Jin what he had just heard.
"Heh, Jin Ningxue is so bold."
Mu Jin listened to Mu Ying say the end, and then she understood why she had to change her face, but when she heard Mu Ying say about the conspiracy arranged by Jin Ningxue, she sneered. "Since she left, we have been arranging for someone to keep an eye on her, and the disciple you mentioned already knows who he is, but we don't know that they have such plans."
"I deliberately changed my appearance, just because I didn't want the people in the sect to find out that I was back." Mu Ying nodded. "I want to see what the people of the Heavenly Pill Hall will do for that news."
The idea that Jin Ningxue came up with. But it really helps.
If Mu Ying is really not in the sect, then the disciples who have been instigated will find that Mu Ying is still closed, then there will inevitably be suspicions, so that they feel that the Xianyun Sect is deliberately deceiving people, and wants to use Mu Ying's apprenticeship to deceive all their talented disciples to the Xianyun Sect, and even suspect that Mu Ying is not a seven-grade alchemist at all. At that time, the reputation of the Immortal Cloud Sect will definitely have a great impact, and even the forces behind these disciples will make some small moves.
And if Mu Ying is in the sect, then she will inevitably have to be forced to show up, maybe she will be suddenly disturbed and cause her to go crazy, and even affect her cultivation's life.
Moreover, even if this plan fails, then this matter has nothing to do with her Jin Ningxue.
Mu Ying was glad at this time, fortunately she came back early, if she really came back a few days later, wouldn't she be calculated by Jin Ningxue?
"Alas, the Tiandan Hall should also be rectified, and such a thing will happen."
Mu Jin's expression was not very good-looking.
The alchemist accepted a bribe from his disciple and wanted to influence Mu Ying's decision to accept the disciple, which was not only a shame for the Tiandan Palace, but also a slap in the face of the Immortal Cloud Sect.
This kind of thing is risky, and now there is such a rumor outside, which means that it has long been known at this time, not to mention whether the person who spread the rumor did it on purpose, but this can at least explain the problem.
"This should be the case." Mu Ying said coldly: "Whether it is an alchemist or a new disciple, they must be severely punished. ”
"It's nature." Mu Jin nodded, "Maybe it doesn't belong to a hall, but I have never heard of this matter in the Tiandan Palace." I'm afraid it's not just me, even your Senior Brother Boming and Master Situ shouldn't know. ”
If he knew, he would have dealt with it a long time ago, so how could he spread the news to the outside?
"I'm afraid it's dark under the lights." Mu Ying thought about it for a while and said, "Or maybe the new disciple of the Tiandan Hall found out about this situation, and after secretly lamenting the injustice, he told others about it, so this will be spread, but very few people in the sect know about it." It is also possible that someone said it in private, but no one dared to spread it to the head of the hall. ”
"Either way, this matter must be dealt with quickly." Mu Jin said with some displeasure: "Accepting apprentices is a fair and righteous thing, your alchemy skills are placed here, and some people will think that they can fool you, it's really ridiculous." ”
"When the stakes are big enough, there will always be people who think that others are stupid, and only he has a bright head." Mu Ying smiled suddenly, "Master, you don't have to worry, I kept Jin Ningxue's life just to make her make a splash, and when the incident happens, there may be a special harvest." ”
"You mean ......"
Mu Jin instantly understood what Mu Ying meant, and after thinking about it slightly, he nodded with a smile, "Okay, then it's up to you." ”
"Master, you must be in a hurry when I disappeared for so long, right? It's all because the apprentices are stupid, so they unknowingly fell for it. ”
Mu Ying now felt a little guilty when he thought of Fang Cai Mu Jin's surprised look when he saw him at first glance.
She has been missing for nearly a year, and there is no news at all during this period, and I don't know how anxious Mu Jin should be.
"Yes, not only me, but even the head of the house is in a hurry, for fear that something will happen to you." Mu Jin glared at Mu Ying, "You kid, you know that I have to worry about it, fortunately you're fine, otherwise we would all die in a hurry!" ”
In fact, Mu Jin was very curious about Mu Ying's whereabouts this year, but Mu Ying's words were obviously a little evasive, which made Mu Jin understand that she had some unspeakable considerations. In that case, there was no need for her to ask.
It's good that people come back safely, as long as Mu Ying's party says it's nothing, it shouldn't be a problem.
But despite this, thinking of the worries and fears of the past year, Mu Jin couldn't help but glared at Mu Ying a few times, and sighed that she was not worried.
Mu Ying smiled, hugged Mu Jin's arm and shook it again and again, admitting his mistake and begging her for mercy.
"Alright, don't mess with me." Mu Jin finally laughed. "Come with me to see the master, we have been looking for news of you everywhere these days, but we have found nothing, and now you have to tell him when you come back, so that he can rest assured."
"Okay." Mu Ying nodded, "Master, I'm really sorry for you, when I disappeared, it happened to be when I recruited new disciples, but fortunately you came up with a way for me to retreat to stop them, otherwise it's really hard to say." ”
"I'm glad you came back early." Mu Jin sighed, "Although this is a good excuse, if you don't show up for a long time, those people will definitely want to test whether you are in the Immortal Cloud Sect, and recently we feel that there are already voices of doubt." ”
"If they just suspect, then they have to do something." Mu Jin looked at Mu Ying, "Since you are back, then I will arrange an identity for you, and you can go to the Tiandan Hall to observe." ”
Go undercover in the Tiandan Hall and come to see for yourself the situation of the disciples and alchemists there?
Mu Ying's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly nodded in agreement.
Then, Mu Ying followed Mu Jin to meet the head of Situ. After Situ learned that the unattractive female cultivator in front of him turned out to be Mu Ying, he was immediately stunned, and then laughed heartily.
Situ Zheng naturally asked who caused Mu Ying's disappearance, but Mu Ying avoided talking about it and talked to Situ Zheng about Jin Ningxue instead.
"We've known about her bad intentions." Situ Zheng just nodded indifferently, "The male cultivator you are talking about was once met by her when she was in the Xianyun Sect, and she didn't know what benefits Jin Ningxue gave him, so he was willing to be driven by Jin Ningxue." ”
What are the benefits?
Mu Ying couldn't help but laugh evilly, Jin Ningxue even used the beauty trick in order to make the male cultivator bow down to his orders, and even had tofu eaten!
"I know she wants to be bad for you, but I don't know that she's playing this way. In fact, as early as when I found out that she had different intentions, your master said that he wanted to find someone to kill her directly, and save her from thinking of any more tricks to harm you, but I stopped her. ”
Situ Zheng looked at Mu Ying, "We are on guard against her, we can see every move of the male cultivator, and we can't afford to make any waves if we forgive him." As for Jin Ningxue, I guess you want to deal with her personally, so I will keep her life for you for the time being, and plan to hand it over to you when you come back. ”
Then, Situ Zheng directly arranged for Mu Ying to go to Tiandan Hall to do miscellaneous work, and asked her to go there to see for herself.
Why Miscellaneous Labor? Only the miscellaneous servants would make the people of the Heavenly Pill Hall ignore him, so that she would be more intuitive and realistic when observing the situation. (To be continued.) )
